Hi...I know I am not worthy...thanks for the reminder! :-)

If you are not a coder, then you are not worthy :)
It is not a fix for your current situation, but an explanation on how to set up your own personal cocoslive server. Will need changes to the app.
But with a personal server, if it shuts down due to quotation, you will not care - because then you are a millionaire.

Hi...Thanks...not sure if I am able to do this...but I will give it a try. My coder is traveling and can not help! Yikes...

You owe me a beer.

Hi....The server is **down** again now! Same quota error. Just a note, we all love CocosLive..!

John

zaaroth, thank you.

The problem is that cocoslive will die soon. Is there any news about a tool to dump the scores (to transfer to a new server)?

Just wait a little longer. Once google refreshes the quota it will work again.

I am not sure how cocoslive works, but if it is a regular google app you are allowed to increase your quota through purchase. I am really not sure how the cocoslive quotas work with that many games in there.

Hi.

CocosLive is down for 2 days now.

"This Google App Engine application is temporarily over its serving quota. Please try again later."

Is there a way to backup the scores to transfer to another server?

Thank you.

NVM I GOT IT!!! Thanks again

are username and category just strings and points just an int? I'm sorry Im so slow I'm rushing to finish my first game while trying to teach my self objective C and cocos2d Im only 16. I feel like an idiot but thank you for all you help Birkemose

No, you cant search for username.
Some day I will ask one of the big boys, to implement that feature.

Sending a score, would look something like

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-( void )sendScore {
	CLScoreServerPost* server;
 	NSMutableDictionary* dictionary;

	CCLOG( @"NightFlight: SCORE: Sending score" );

	// create server connection, and a dictionary to send
	server			= [ [ CLScoreServerPost alloc ] initWithGameName:SCORES_GAME_NAME gameKey:SCORES_GAME_KEY delegate:self ];
	dictionary		= [ NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:6 ];

	// set data
	[ dictionary setObject:[ self username ] forKey:@"cc_playername" ];
	[ dictionary setObject:[ self category ] forKey:@"cc_category"];
	[ dictionary setObject:[ NSNumber numberWithInt:[ self points ] ] forKey:@"cc_score" ];

	// submit score
#if SCORES_ADD_ALL == 1
	[ server sendScore:dictionary ];
#else
	[ server updateScore:dictionary ];
#endif
	// release
	[ server release ];
}

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-( void )scorePostOk:( id )sender {
	CCLOG( @"NightFlight: SCORE: OK" );
	m_world = YES;
	[ self loadScore ];
}

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-( void )scorePostFail:( id )sender {
	CCLOG( @"NightFlight: SCORE: FAIL" );
	// Post score failed
	[ CAMPAIGN loadSection:@"[highscore.failed]" ];
}

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have 2 major questions to ask
1. Is it possible to search cocos live to find a players name than use the data in that row to find how much to offset the scores by so you can see your rank and a few people above and below you?

2. And I finished setting up my own instance of cocos2d can someone show me how I would go about connecting and posting to cocos live through cocos2d

hi,
I also implement CocosLive in iphone game. But how to get game key for it..?

Thanks. fixed.

@riq: Now it's working for me too. Still a bit slow but that might be related to GAE's architecture.

@Birkemose thanks birkemose your the best I owe you big time

@jschoes1994
Not at this moment, but I will post one tomorrow.

@birkemose Thanks that helped so much do you have totural for then posting and retrieving the code from a custom made cocosLive application?

@Paul: Either it is a bug in GAE or it is related to the new index. Right now, it is working very fast for me.

@riq: Now it's loading for ages and showing a HTTP 500 error later. Might be some problem with your code or the App Engine Instance. Seems to be a really weird problem. :S

@Paul: thanks. I'm looking at it. It seems that an index was missing, so I launched a process to create the missing index and this might be the cause... But I am not sure yet.

@Riq

Seems like the GAE error is remaining. Connecting via DNS works fine now. Currently Google's error engine shows up with a 404 error.

@jschoes1994

check this

thanks riq but what i should gave asked was what do you click to download the entire project or do i need to doenload each file 1 by 1.

riq! Thank you!

@jschos1994:

$ svn checkout http://cocoslive.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ cocoslive-read-only

do I lclick where it says "client programs and plug-ins" to download the file?

GOD i feel like such an idiot what do you do to download the source code for cocosLive it self im at the spot and Idk how t download the project

I think it is not fixed yet.
I can't connect the http://www.cocoslive.net web.

There were 2 problems with the server:
a) related to the DNS
b) related to GAE

Both a) and b) seems to be fixed now.
I am not sure why b) occurred, perhaps because GAE 1.5 was released ? I don't know.
