Where/how do I start with GPG services?

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • Hey there, I recently got the GPG Objects but I have absolutely no idea where or how to start and can't seem to find any guides or info on this.
    I did find the help files (accessed by clicking the Help-button in the object's properties), but I'm having some issues.

    In Please login to see this link., what do I have to use as package name? Do I have to create a website first? I tried using 'com.exampleIDKtest.unnamedGame' but then when I get to step 3 b (Step 2: Authorise your app), I just get this pop-up where I can't edit anything, and clicking 'Continue' returns 'Certificate fingerprint is invalid'.

    I tried looking online for answers but can only seem to find things that I have no chance of understanding without any prior knowledge... Could anyone please explain me what I should do here or where I should start?

  • Where do you mean with 'in the beginning?' Do you mean after clicking the 'Game Services' tab, or is there something else I have to do before?

    I recorded the steps I took. What am I doing wrong? The only explanation I see is that I need to do something before going to Game services, but I have no idea what or where that could be...

  • Is the app your created in the App store already. then you get a dropdown and it shows the name and the icon.
    or did you created it already in the Google App section. ? cause it should popup when you type.

    Otherwise select the 2nd Tab instead of the 1st tab in the beginning.

  • you can try without, but have the app created for the store, then you should be able to pick it up once you start typing in the box for your app id. com.xxxx.xxxxxx
    but I use the 2nd tab.
    and never had a problem

  • How do I create the app for the store? And with 'the 2nd tab', do you mean the tab saying 'I already use Google API'?
    I tried creating an app by clicking the 'CREATE APPLICATION' button on the 'All applications' page and selecting the 'I already use the Google API'-tab, but I just get the same error when trying to authorize it.

    Please could someone list the steps I have to take from start to finish? (like package name, I have no idea what this is or what I should enter here, seemingly I have to do something before coming to this page).

  • I'm trying to add GPG to my game too, but when i compile my app with this object for testing some expression i get an error while building the APK that ends by:

    Same problem while trying to build the example file, i don't understand why i see the facebook name in this log or what to do to build my app...

  • Problem with google is; they are changing everyday the way to do things and all major game companies have the same problem, so the best here is to review the way directly from google

    ... new things are coming ...

  • In his case it's something on how it's setup on his google page. Not quite sure what, since it all looks the same.

    Still thinking about it, and it's too bad that you cannot delete an existing one from google (besides disabling it), but than you cannot use that same name anymore.

  • When you create an app in GPG, you have to select the Game or give it the com.perry.mygame so it know what it is.
    Once you decide not to use that one anymore, you can make it inactive, but cannot delete the whole GPG. (probably because of leaderboards etc)

    So when you create a NEW GPG entry that you want to use, you cannot use the same name from the game that you had disabled, you need to give it a new id (com.perry.mygame2)

    That's why google warns you, once you make a setting and you publish it, there is no way back.

    In the other users case, I matched all the settings with what I use.
    Except I use a GPG number and my own key, and mine works, and for him, you get the authentication failure.

    That Reminds me
    [MENTION=11451]Dobermann[/MENTION] .. Did you make sure that the key/password is correct? I know it's a silly question, but since I always use the same key for all my apps. for the last (almost) 5 years.. so I wouldn't know any better :)
