I like the way LIBERADO thinks.
I might play with the intruder.

Ask a Question / Re: problem with my android SDK
« on: February 23, 2023, 06:13:49 pm »
Oh, you're Tudry on Discord, right?
The logs you posted only include info about the build process, not anything after the game started playing.
To get the greatest amount of information in the logs related to playing the game itself, try one of the following:
a) Run the game from Stencyl, with the Run > View logs through Game Controller option disabled, and the game being played in debug mode (by running from Run > Run App in Debug Mode > Android (Debug)).
b) Run the game from Android Studio. It sounds like you've tried this already. If you want to try this again, can you share the error you got last time? I'm not familiar with a "Missing Runners" error and I'm not sure what that could mean. Seeing it for myself might help.

Not sure if you ever took Merrak up on his advice and asked on Discord or not. Posting here in case you're still having trouble with this, and for anybody else who finds this post.
The "The Android SDK is required" message actually shows if any of the Android SDK, Android NDK, or the JDK is missing. If you went through the Android Tools download dialog within Stencyl, you probably have the Android SDK and Android NDK, but not the Java JDK.
I'd recommend you download the latest private release of Stencyl for a few reasons:
1) Ability to target more recent Android versions, which you'll need if you want to publish to the Play Store.
2) Updates to the built-in purchases and Admob support (if you use them). This functionality won't work without the updates in the latest private releases.
3) Important bug fixes, such as prevention of a black screen on startup for users of more recent Android versions.
4) The version of the JDK used to run Stencyl is now packaged with everything it needs to build Android games. So if you don't specify an external JDK, that one will be used by default. This likely would have got you past the error dialog in this case.

« on: February 22, 2023, 12:59:44 am »
Is the bullet being created at all? Try placing a "print" block in a "when created" event for the bullet and see if it prints anything. Perhaps the bullet is being destroyed as soon as it's created.

Ask a Question / Re: Setting Up Proxy For Stencyl?
« on: December 25, 2022, 05:36:06 pm »
Can you start with what problem you're facing? Do you require a proxy for internet access? Is something in Stencyl now working as expected? What have you tried so far? I feel like the proxy settings should generally be pretty straightforward, so it would be helpful to hear what's going wrong on your end.

« on: December 12, 2022, 06:03:07 pm »
The chip doesn't matter. Stencyl can be run either way.
If you have an Apple Silicon chip (M1/M2/etc) you currently need to have Rosetta 2 installed to build games.
For exported macOS games, Apple Silicon isn't supported yet, so other Apple Silicon macOS users will also need Rosetta 2 installed to play your games.

« on: December 11, 2022, 09:23:21 pm »
Sorry, this is a bit vague. Are you talking about the way that Stencyl is distributed, or are you talking about distributing your games to other people?
For distributing your game to other people, Stencyl can export a .app container for macOS, and a .ipa container for iOS. After that, it's up to you to use the iOS App Store or Mac App Store to distribute your game.
There's no difference between Mac Mini and any other Mac hardware that's relevant to publishing Stencyl games.

Ask a Question / Re: HTML5 game not loading on GameJolt
« on: November 24, 2022, 05:44:03 pm »
Hm. The browser automatically caches downloaded content, that's not something that Stencyl does. The url is modified (when a new version of the game is built) in order to break that cache. Their wording is a bit strange, but I guess that's probably what they mean, since they're talking about urls.
You're right that the AudioContext issue isn't important.
If you're importing resources at 1x scale, then yes, you should absolutely have all other scales disabled for your project anyway. IIRC there may be some bugs in the last public release of Stencyl related to disabling higher-resolution scales. Try following these steps, in order, and you should be fine.
[Settings] > Web > Settings > Scales: make sure only 1x is checked
[Settings] > Settings > Advanced > Project Scales: make sure only 1x is checked
[Menu Bar] > Tools > Game > Clean Project
[Menu Bar] > Tools > Game > Cleanup Unused Files

« on: November 13, 2022, 01:08:08 am »
Are they talking about the part of the url at the end which is just a string of numbers? You can disable that by adding this to your advanced OpenFL settings. (Settings > Settings > Advanced > OpenFL Settings)
This is disabled by default in the subscribers-only 4.1.0 beta, so once Stencyl 4.1.0 is released and you update to it, you can remove that line from your project.
If that's not what they meant, sending me the message they sent you may help in understanding what's going wrong.
Code: [Select]
<haxedef name="lime_disable_assets_version" />

Please post the logs from the web developer console inside the web browser when you test the html5 game.

Looks like you're running into a problem with the Flash target.
While Flash is sometimes still valuable as a quick testing platform, it's also virtually unusable for publishing at the moment, since web browsers no longer support it, and third-party emulators like ruffle don't fully support the ActionScript 3 language and APIs yet.
Given this, not a lot of resources are devoted to Flash support right now, so if you end up hitting a bug, that's pretty much a show-stopper. I'd suggest just using a different platform for testing, such as HTML5.

Having said that, here's the error:
Perhaps you could try disabling the higher-scale assets in your project and see if that somehow fixes this (assuming you're not actually using higher-resolution scales)?
[Settings] > Web > Settings > Scales: make sure only 1x is checked
[Settings] > Settings > Advanced > Project Scales: make sure only 1x is checked

Then try testing your game again.

A public release of Stencyl hasn't been made in a long time, but the subscribers-only releases are still updated frequently. At the moment, the changelog for private builds is only updated on discord, so you can reference that as well if you have questions about compatibility with the latest operating systems and API requirements.
API 31 is supported in the latest private releases since mid-August.

I took a quick look at the link to the game you posted a few days ago. As you said, it's all 403 errors for the game assets. Checking the payload data in the Chrome dev console, it appears to be getting a "SignatureDoesNotMatch" error from aws. Perhaps there's a problem with gamejolt's cdn. If you can get some support from the folks at gamejolt with this, they ought to have a better idea what's going wrong here.

Posting a link to your game on GameJolt, or posting the logs from the developer console when you try to play the game, may be more helpful.
