Hi there,

I am trying to compile my game with OpenFeint 2.4.2 and Cocos2D 0.9.0 beta. And my target is to compile OpenFeint to run on OS2.2.1 device.

This is my procedure:
-Set your Base SDK in your app settings to 3.0 or higher
-Set your Deployment Target to 2.2.1
-In your target settings, for the linked libraries, set both MapKit and UIKit to be weak linked
-Build for targets 3.0 or higher (not for 2.2.1).

It works fine on emulator and OS3.x device.

But when I install into OS2.2.1 device, I got the errors below:
<Program received signal: “EXC_BAD_ACCESS”.>
Stopped at: color_ = ccWHITE;

Can anyone have same experience can share? thanks!

Hmmm. I use the exact same configuration, except that I use OpenDeint version 2.4.1. I don't think that it is related to the OpenFeint stuff.

You should digg a little deeper where the EXC_BAD_ACCESS is coming from. It looks like you are over-releasing memory. Remember, your Simulator has much more memory than the device. Therefore some memory management error will surface on the device only.

You can add a breakpoint objc_exception_throw and start a debug session to get more insight.

On a side note. When you build for target 3.0 will it still run on a 2.2.1 device, because you set the deployment target to 2.2.1?

Hi Joe,

I tried to set the build target to Device-2.2.1, and got the following error:

Framework not find MapKit
Command /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/g++-4.0 failed with exit code 1

And if I set the build target to Device-3.0, I can compile the code but got the foloowing runtime error:
<Program received signal: “EXC_BAD_ACCESS”.>
Stopped at: color_ = ccWHITE;

Do you have any suggestion to try/debug? thanks~!

Side question: did you convert all your objective-c code for cocos into objective-c++? I want to integrate open feint but I don't want to change all my cocos2d specific code to obj-c++.

@bdittmer - I'm using OpenFeint and I did convert all my files. Overall it was very simple - no code changes were needed, I just had to make all my extensions for the modules .mm instead of .m. It was a bit tedious for the initial conversion but was done fairly quickly. =)

Looks like you forgot to add the required frameworks (e.g. mapkit) for the new openfeint version. Read the openfeint documentation again and make sure that you do what it says in the framework section.

An easier way to see what, or where, this is happening for you is to get a backtrace. YOu can see that in the pop-up but also in the console when stopped at the error, type BT to see what is up.

That said this error seems like it is merely masking the problem of corruption elsewhere. ccWhite is hard coded so it should not be a problem ( it cant be autoreleased) and therefore assignment should be valid at that point, unless the entire memory is mushed up.

I need we need to take a step back here.

1) MapKit is not available on OS 2.2.1,
2) that will generate a link error when building for 3.0.x
3) you are getting around the link error by forcing weak linking in xCode when deploying on OS 2.2.x
4) however when you run it on the OS 2.2.1 device it, quite understandably, crashes out. It is trying to call code it doesnt have on the system. Weak linking helps you get past linking issues, it cant magically make the program run. Bascially it is used to link against frameworks which are not available at link time, but are at run time ( plugins perhaps). It is fairly rare to use this.

Bottom line you cant run a application which needs an OS 3.0 framework ( mapkit) on OS 2.2.x because it isnt there.

Actually that should read

2) that will generate a link error when building for 2.2.x at any time, or OS 3.0 if you dont include the framework
3) you are getting around the link error by forcing weak linking in xCode, but building in OS 3.0 whilst deploying on OS 2.2.x

There is a way to test the OS at run time.

NSString *currSysVer = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];

Testing for that you could load a framework at runtime.

i think the problem is with cocos and not with openfeint

Maybe im wrong but in your app you are using in somewhere this code

sprite.color = ccWhite;

or something like that but using the ccWhite

there is where the app stops

try using UIColors

Im newbie in code, so maybe what i said was stupid

sorry for my bad english

Hi there,

The problem is solved, below please find the detail guideline:

Taplay, thanks for the link. Reading through the article I would think that this is exactly what you have initially done. As you described in your first post when opening this thread. So, what have you changed exactly? Why did your program stopped with EXC_BAD_ACCESS? Just curious.

I too am trying to use Cocos2D and Openfeint 2.4.2.

I have this piece of code in my app.

static void eachShape(void *ptr, void* data)
{

cpShape *shape = (cpShape*) ptr;

#ifdef _SPACE_MANAGER_FOR_COCOS2D

//CocosNode *cameraNode = [CocosNode node];

CocosNode *node = shape->data;
if(node)
{
cpBody *body = shape->body;
[node setPosition: cpv( body->p.x, body->p.y)];
[node setRotation: CC_RADIANS_TO_DEGREES( -body->a )];
}
#endif

When I rename my file to .mm I get the following error

Invalid conversion from 'void' to 'CocosNode'

So there's some problem with using Obj C++ with some cocos code. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Thanks

somewhat off-topic: is anyone interested in writing a small article regarding how to integrate OpenFeint with cocos2d ?

I have had the intention of creating a guide to integration of OF on my to-do list since I had made some notes along the way as I integrated it with Balloon-Boy. I'll organize my notes and compile a quick guide similar to the Admob notes I'd added under general tips&tricks (although I'm thinking that should probably be pulled out of there and put under the programming guide?).

crmagic to the rescue again, I see I'm not the only one to fall for the lack of casting. ;-)

@tim: cool.
yes, perhaps the AdMob integration could be added into the programming guide.

A quick sidenote to 2.4.2 OpenFeint integration with cocos 0.82. If you create an application in landscape mode and throw up a UIAlertView early on e.g in your appDelegate the OpenFeint notification tab pops up in landscape but clicking on it opens up the main OpenFeint window in Portrait mode with Landscape assets.

Not pretty :(

Fixed now by writing my own Alert box (well not fixed so much as bypassed)

@Tim A separate section for third party guides in the documentation could be a nice idea, there are plenty about OpenFeint, Agon, Admobs, Chipmunk, Box2d, Facebook agent (http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/4267)
