[with Steam achievements]

It's still a bit of a mess, but I got a working build of a game project (not a real game) running on OS X High Sierra with Steam achievements.

I cloned Janet's osx-nick branch and reused the WEG Xcode workspace files (and the Shivah project files). I tried to figure out how to embed a binary version of AGSteam into the app, but I kept getting an error that the library didn't exist in the final executable. So instead I followed the approach that was already partially implemented by WEG (judging by the project files and the lack of an existing port of AGSteam to Mac), and built the AGSteam source directly as part of the project files. Took a bit of knackering about as I've never used Xcode (or even OS X) before, but it definitely is working.

I will try to make a more detailed post of what I did after I try to abstract it out of the WEG files.

I question the decision to give "basic" names to float variants, and specific names to integer ones.

Your rationale about the general use case might be accurate, but I picked the names I did to better mirror the existing methods, which all operate on floats.

I didn't have any particular purpose behind the module except filling in gaps for common functions that I particularly needed. These specific ones are probably general enough to warrant a built-in implementation, but I would rate it as very low priority (although, the implementations themselves are trivial, so...).

Got an extra copy of Half-Life 2. PM me your email or Steam user name to claim.

The MathsPlus module adds some additional Maths functions, including:

* float Maths.Abs(float)
* float Maths.Ceil(float)
* float Maths.Floor(float)
* float Maths.Max(float, float)
* float Maths.Min(float, float)
* float Maths.Round(float)
* int Maths.AbsInt(int)
* int Maths.MaxInt(int, int)
* int Maths.MinInt(int, int)

Requires AGS 3.4.0.6 or higher

It's really kind of a crap-shoot as to whether the user has any given C++ runtime installed, but I could say at least that the 2008 runtime is very common and required to run the engine, so that's probably a safe bet. There appears to be a "universal" runtime that can be distributed as an additional DLL file, though I'm not clear on exactly how that works... I'd rather use that option than revert to an older Visual Studio, but 2008 is a good fallback plan. I'll look into these options and update the plugin builds soon.

[must]

Just a head's up on the plugin binaries I've provided... The Windows DLLs were built with Visual Studio 2015, which means that you (and anyone playing your game) must have the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable installed. This is a one-time installation that will become more common, but may not (as yet) be a "common" installation. I have been trying to better assess whether I need to downgrade the project files and rebuild with an earlier version of Visual Studio (if you know or have advice what the "best practice" here should be, please let me know!).

[Latest binaries]

Latest binaries are up with some significant changes. First of all, the plugin is now feature-complete with stats and leaderboards! AGSGalaxy also now supports unified builds by default (agsgalaxy.dll). If you want to continue using the Galaxy-specific struct name of "AGSGalaxy" in your game scripts, feel free to use the "disjoint" plugin (agsgalaxy-disjoint.dll) instead. All this really changes is how you call the Galaxy functions, but the two versions (unified and disjoint) generally shouldn't be used together (theoretically they won't conflict, but there's just no reason to have both since they do the same thing).

[FULL]

The AGSGalaxy plugin: GOG Galaxy stats, achievements, and leaderboards for AGS!

FULL source code is available, as GOG Galaxy API is open-source (er... not strictly licensed? I don't seem to actually find the full source code for the API or client anywhere, but it definitely isn't licensed in a closed-source fashion)!

Download (see this post in deciding which version to download)


Cheers! For an example, please check out the Steam+Galaxy project.

Have a code for 10 Second Ninja, free to whoever finds and murders those who have been stealing codes without even letting anyone know.

...or, you know, whoever PMs me first to request it. Whichever. I'm flexible.

I hear tale that the leechbots have been eradicated. If not, someone owes me a copy of 10 Second Ninja back!

I'd like to claim it, but honestly I feel like I take advantage of this thread too much. I'll leave it for someone else!

Speaking of the Humble Borderlands Bundle, I got a 25% off coupon for merchandise from the 2K store, but I'm not really interested in anything they have for sale. Not exactly a Steam key, but PM me if you want the coupon code.

Please post if you claim. Please. Puh-leeez.

Very well, if you insist. Thanks.

[P.S.]

"members table", you say?



P.S. Tested. Exact same behavior as before.

• Go to wiki (shows not logged in).
  
• Click login, brings to forum login.
  
• Enter details, log in. Returns to forum home page.
  
• Go to wiki (total failure to load, same error as above).
  
  Is literally no one else experiencing this?

Color me skeptical ('twas just a baseless suggestion), but if others aren't having the same issue then by all means please give it a try.

[P.S.]

I've noticed that the wiki login has never been fixed...

Clicking "login" from the wiki brings me to an SMF login page for the forums (which I was already logged into). Logging in brings me back to the forum homepage. Going back to the wiki produces the following error:

MediaWiki internal error.

P.S. Just looking at the error message, it might be related to my username having underscores in it?

[KOTOR II]

The gift icon requires an email address. I just wanted to be sure before I "redeemed" the Steam key from Humble Bundle that I was doing it right.

Question... I bought the Humble Bundle Star Wars pack a while back and got an extra copy of KOTOR II. How to give away, please? Do I click the button to redeem it on Steam and just post that code here?

Monsieur OUXX, yes, that's precisely what the shell plugin is for. Al Emmo, for example, used the shell plugin in the demo to open a browser window to buy the full game.

This is why I wrote the open-source replacement, but it is still only designed to operate on Windows.

Actually, yes. I've heard that before. Sorry! iOS doesn't allow any external assemblies, so the stub would have to be built into the iOS port of the engine to be able to load properly.
