System Window Mask Stack (Keyhole effect for stack with Windowshape)

2020-07-31 Thread David Bovill via use-livecode
I’m trying to create a stack which I place in front of stacks which contain 
browser objects and camera controls in order to mask them and create more 
interesting shapes for the video and browser content. The only way to do this I 
believe is to have a stack - let’s call it a “System Window Mask” stack - and 
punch holes though it. A stack level keyhole effect.

Scott if you are there I need your help :)

This stack of Scotts shows the result:

• go url "http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/animated_mask.livecode";

And I’d like a way to generate those masks from graphic objects that I place on 
the “System Window Mask” stack - then export a snapshot - my experiments so far 
are failing.

I can get a polygon to make the stack with code like this:

• export snapshot from graphicObject with effects to img”mask” of me as PNG
• set the windowshape of stack stackName to imageID

But I’d like to reverse the effect - so I get a hole in the shape of the 
graphic. Code like this:

-- set the ink of graphicObject to "blendDstIn"
-- set the ink of myGroup to "blendSrcOver"

Before taking the snapshot is not cutting it?

Re: Q re monetization via ads

i think no one, because it's not working and no longer supported in LC.

Why do so many app dev(non LC) use so many ads in their apps? i guess not
for fun but for some income (free apps with ads)

A free game and i mean a good playable quality game costs maybe 200K to be
build for Android and iOs, so somewhere the money most come from.

I've seen prices asked for apps around 15K just for Android and another 15k
to get iOs too.

Maybe prices dropped meanwhile, but some softwarehouses ask serious prices

How many LC devs have earned more than $500 from in-app ads?

Outside of LC, anyone know what percentage of indy shops with small or zero
marketing budgets have earned more than $1,000 on ads?

For that matter, did *anyone* ever manage to get that company to even run an 
add.

The answer I got back (after an unreasonably long delay) made it pretty clear 
that they weren’t interested until there was a huge installed base . . .

For many years now!!

And alongside that sometimes also in-app purchases, like more lives or 
whatever, but that's another story.

Paying for an app is the way to get rid of the ads.

The nr of ad-free free to use apps, is very low compared to free in-app 
ads apps.


You can simply check the playstore for that.

Jerry

Yes - sorry - I meant to either post (or get someone to post) that we 
think we
found the culprit. There was still some Inneractive SDK related stuff 
being

included in the commercial Android engine's Java class bundle.

All being well 9.6.1-rc-2 will appear early next week, and should 
hopefully

solve the submission issue occurring here.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.

Well 2 things:

1. Since LC is no longer supporting ads, with which one might earn an extra
dime, they could better remove it. Maybe via lcb and an injection in the
manifest something is possible and one could choose it's own preferable ads
provider.


Looks like the fix is on the way for 9.6.1. Quick response from the team.
