Experiences with Megacool Plugin

hotbuttered

Has anyone released a game that uses the Megacool Plugin? Or gotten it to work reliably?

I love the concept of the plugin, but it is unreliable for me in my game - about 50% of the time, there is no gif created. The team at Megacool was very friendly when I asked them about it, and they offered to take a look at my debug logs, but I'm waiting to hear back from them.

I'm attaching log examples for when a gif was created and for when no gif was created, in case anyone here has insights. Also, here's how I'm calling Megacool in my game:

Megacool.startRecording()
local timerDelayed = Timer.delayedCall(500, function()
Megacool.stopRecording()
end)
local timerDelayed = Timer.delayedCall(5000, function()
Megacool.setSharingText("Check this out!")
Megacool.share()
end)

Thanks!

I think they have updated their api, so the plugin will need updating. That may fix it.

Thanks, @SinisterSoft. Are there instructions anywhere for updating the version of a plugin in a local copy of Gideros? Is this something that I could do in Android Studio?

The api has changed so the plugin may need to be recoded slightly then recompiled - so I'm not sure. The version number grabbed will also need to be updated in the gplugin file - you could start with that and see if it retains compatibility somehow?
