CocosLive Rankings Issue

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

What are the names of your games ? Could you post the code that you are using ? (don't post the secret key)

Hey riq, thanks for your response.

This all takes place in a "Global Rankings" scene that I created. Upon initialization, I submit the user's total score. At the end of the 'scorePostOk:' method, I do a rank request via 'requestRankForScore:andCategory:'. At the end of the 'scoreRequestRankOk:' method, I do a final request for the top 100 scores via 'requestScores:limit:offset:flags:category:'.

So, I basically am submitting the user's score, then requesting that score's rank, then requesting the top 100 scores, all in sequence. This is probably not the best way to do this, but it was what I came up with.

Hopefully this gives you a better idea of where I'm coming from.

Your thoughts are appreciated!

Hi,

I am having this exact same issue. I'm doing it the same way as tmsquasher describes above. Is there something wrong with doing it this way?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I've just commited a "request rank" demo in the "develop" branch. It's working OK for me.

Could you try it ? thanks

Hi riq,

Thanks for responding so quickly. I looked at that example code and only thing I see being done differently is that in the example you request the rank immediately after requesting the scores. In my code, I am requesting the rank first, and then using that rank to set the offset for the score request.

Is it necessary to request the scores before requesting rank? If so, does it matter whether the rank for the score you are requesting falls within the limit of the score request?

Thanks again!

Yes, otherwise the server will return an error.

I ran the cocoslive demo on my device and it works fine, but ranking is still not working in my app.

I am using only the cocoslive module, not the entire cocos2d engine, could that be causing problems?

Also, when I call [sender ranking] in scorePostOk, it's always returning 0.

Maybe the settings for my app are wrong on the cocoslive page? I Have Score Order set to desc and Ranking enabled True with Min score 0 and Max score 99999999. Does this sound right?

Thanks,
Hayden

Hey,

Nevermind, I figured out what the problem was. I never enabled ranking on the cocoslive page, I thought it was enabled by default. Thanks for your help!
