They list top 10 scorers. I wonder whether I can list top 100. Do you know how I can do that? Thanks Hilbert WWWeb-ster on "CocosLive - Retrieving high scores" http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/8247#post-47989 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:10:24 +0000 WWWeb-ster 47989@http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/ I'm using the following code to obtain scores from a CocosLive high score table. <pre><code>NSLog(@"Requesting scores..."); CLScoreServerRequest *request = [[CLScoreServerRequest alloc] initWithGameName:@"Serenity" delegate:self]; [request requestScores:kQueryAllTime limit:15 offset:0 flags:kQueryFlagByCountry category:@"Classic"]; NSArray *scores = [request parseScores]; //ERROR HERE for (id *score in scores) { NSLog(@"Score%@", score); } // Release. It won't be freed from memory until the connection fails or suceeds [request release];</code></pre> I receive an error on the indicated line, informing me that the data could not be parsed. I have discovered that this is because the receivedData variable in CLScoreServerRequest has not been populated, and the method is attempting to parse an empty array. My question is: After requesting the scores, how do I access the scores. Is there a method I should call to populate the receivedData variable? Thanks in advance for your help, James tmsquasher on "CocosLive Rankings Issue" http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/5045#post-30126 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 03:09:09 +0000 tmsquasher 30126@http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/ Hi all, I'm using CocosLive in my current project for global rankings, where each device can have only one score (I'm using the DeviceID as the cc_playername and keeping track of a user-defined "Device Name" with another usr_ key). I've got a scene in which I display a list of the top scores and, separately, the rank for the current device's score. I've 'created' several CocosLive games online, with their own 'secret keys' and such. In one, I did not enable rankings. I was able to download and view all the scores, but I always receive a value of '1' for my requestRankForScore:andCategory request. I enabled rankings in another game I set up. When I download scores from this one, I receive a value of 'null.' However, the ranking request yields the correct ranking. I'm a little frustrated as I've been trying to fix this problem for a while, but nothing has been working for me. I'm using Cocos2d v0.8.2, but have implemented the latest CocosLive version that I downloaded with Cocos2d v0.99.0. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks, Tom Yeontack Jeong on "My app cannot parse the received scores from CocosLive server." http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/7536#post-44123 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 09:45:19 +0000 Yeontack Jeong 44123@http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/ Hi? I'm using CocosLive (v0.8.2) in my app, Anytime Hexa(http://www.cocoslive.net/game-scores?gamename=Anytime%20Hexa). When I request the posted scores among from the ranking 0 to 1001, it is running very well. but when I request the posted scores after the ranking 1001, it shows below. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error parsing scores: Error Domain=CJSONScannerErrorDomain Code=-1 "Could not scan dictionary. Dictionary that does not start with '{' character." UserInfo=0x188050 {NSLocalizedDescription=Could not scan dictionary.

So, I have found that when the error occured, the received message from CocosLive server contained '<', instead of '{'. When running normally, the received message from CocosLive server contained '{'. I don't know how to solve this problem. Please, let me know how to solve this problem. suvlaki on "Cannot post scores due to checksum validation failure" http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/7498#post-43941 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 03:02:16 +0000 suvlaki 43941@http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/ I am trying to implement cocoslive in my cocos2d game.

Now, when I log into cocos live with the new credentials (google ID) it logs me in. However, I do not see my game, Time-Tap when clicking the "Games you have added" button. The high scores still work in the game. I think the game ID is still valid and the scores are still stored on the server. It's probably just a matter of my google ID not resolving to something on the cocoslive web page. The game is already accepted on the app store and I don't want to re-submit the app otherwise I would probably just add the game again and start over. Unfortunately the game id is hard coded into the bundle that Apple already accepted and the game is due to launch in 10 days. I would really appreciate any help in this matter. -Kain kierster on "Are the cocoslive servers down/overloaded?" http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/3124#post-19261 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:58:12 +0000 kierster 19261@http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/ Posting works well for me, successfully everytime. But requesting the scores has been failing starting sometime this afternoon, I don't think I changed any code affecting it. WHAT I DID CHANGE IS THAT I ENABLED RANKING. Since the enabled ranking, the delete all scores also isn't working. Anyone else having these problems? NSLog tells me: score request OK receivedData does have bytes in it when I set a breakpoint there. Then I get a parse error from that JSON thing: "Could not scan dictionary.

He now has the #1 spot on the leaderboard with that score. Player B scores exactly 1000 three days later, and his score is also submitted online. From my experience, Player B's score would be #<a href='http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/tags/2'>2</a> behind Player A. A problem arises if 1000 is the maximum score attainable for this game. In my mind, wouldn't it make more sense for the most recent score to be on top to keep the competition going? I've got a similar thing happening in the game I'm currently working on. Would be interested to hear anybody's thoughts on this 'issue.' Any recommendations for an easy work-around based on the date the score was submitted?

I worked around it by adding a custom field usr_name, and shoing that one, so the user will match when using postScore. However, the problem I have now is that if I rename the user (change my usr_name field), and submit again, the server won't update the name, since the score is not better than the previous one. It seems as if cocoslive ignores all the dictionary if the score is not better than the previous one. Is there a workaround for this?
