Hi Marko,

I have several ".wav" files for every card.
Do I have to set all of them into the special Folder? So that I have several lines for each sound file?

add all of your sounds (or better a complete folder full of sounds) via the "Copy files" tab in the standalone builder settings!
Then they will be accessible via:
specialfolderpath("resources") & "/name_of_sound_file.wav"
OR
specialfolderpath("resources") & "/all_my_sounds_folder/name_of_sound_file.wav"

Code: Select all

"on mouseUp
set the beepsound to specialFolderPath("engine") & "/sound.aiff"
beep                 --> what is the "beep" for?
end mouseUp"

But I don't have a "beepsound" , it's just a normal mp3 converted in wav.

What do you think will this script do?

It will tell iOS to NOT use its cheap" build-in BEEP sound but to use YOUR SPECIAL SOUND FILE named "sound.aiiff"
when you scripts read "BEEP"!

There are many ways to play a sound file, setting the BEEP sound is one of them.
When do you want to play a sound?

Remember you can always:
...
play (specialfolderpath("resources") & "/name of your sound file.wav")
...

We need to take alook at the script(s) to be able to check what might go on!

Hello,

Klaus you are my hero! I did exactly like you said and the sound works completely fine. Thank you a lot!

I still have the problem with the crashing at the same place though

We need to take alook at the script(s) to be able to check what might go on!

What do you mean with this exactly ?

- Also, it takes almost 10-15 seconds after I click the app to open, which is weird.

please post your script(s) that are probably running when the app crashes!
And your "preopenstack" and/or "openstack" script.

This is the only code on my stack script (I hope you meant this?) There is no script or anything like that when the game crashes. It just turns black for few seconds then the app closes itself.
No notification or pop up messages. That is what I thought is weird about it.
It's not even saying "the app doesn't react" or something like that

There is no script running when the app exits?
Sorry, no brilliant idea in the moment...

nope, sadly none. Guess I can't do anything about it.
At least everything else is working

There must be a script running if the stack is a game. Are you running a repeat loop to control it? Repeat loops can cause problems if not properly written.

If it always crashes at the same place, what script was running when that happens? Or if there really is no script at all running, what actions came right before the crash?

There is no loop in the whole game.
Right before the crash I have card with an image "To be continued" there you can click a button to go to the next card.
That is the code: On the next card there is this button "begin"
Code: So I let the gif running on the button
It always crashes right here, while the animation with 2.2 seconds is running. Normally it should go to the next card but it always crashes there.

Hi Marko,

use the official "visual effect" syntax, I heard that "legacy code" may crash on mobile: Best

Klaus

Ok I might try it later but to be honest I used this type of visual effect almost on every card.
So it would be weird if it would only crash because of this, then it should have happened way earlier.

Hey,

Sry for the late reply but I thought I could give an update.

I tried to compansate the program by shorting some of the music and gifs in the project.
After that, I made a new APK and now it works on mobile until the end.
(Only issue is that the mobile is playing the gifs very slow and not as smooth as on PC, but thats a minor problem)

By the way I got the best grade in the university on this project!

So thank you again everyone for helping out. This was a great experience for me.

Best regards
Marko

Congratulations!

That's great! Congratulations.
