SDKBOX Integration without the Installer

[mannewalis]

@Kotaiba I am sure we can send you manual steps to do the installation. In the mean time, since you are having an issue, and we would like to solve this issue, would you mind helping us with a few tests so that we can solve this issue for others that may run into the same thing

1. run sdkbox symbols from the cocos project directory that you are trying to install to. This will print out a bunch of keys and values. Can you reply to this post with that output?

2. run sdkbox --help and paste all output including the sdkbox header with version number.

With this information we should be able to diagnose the problem and get you back into a working state. If not, I will find instructions on how to install this manually.

Thanks
Justin

Examples:

$ sdkbox import -b iap -p /path/to/your/cocos2dx/game/

# The -b option may be omitted and -p too if you are in your project directory
$ sdkbox import iap

# List all available modules
$ sdkbox list

I just finished integrating all the the SDKs except Google analytics need to know what to add to AndroidManifest.xml

This is screenshot of my project tree

[mannewalis]

can you check if there is a .cocos-project.json in your project directory?

if not, can you add it with the following contents. And try the sdkbox install again.

{
    "engine_type": "prebuilt", 
    "engine_version": "cocos2d-x-3.7", 
    "project_type": "cpp"
}

If this works, then the question becomes why don’t you have that file. How did you create the project? cocos new -l cpp project ?

Thanks
Justin

I use level helper to create my project . cocos2d-x 3.4
http://gamedevhelper.com/
if you create project via it i think you will face same problem .
i dont have cocos-project.json on my files .
can you point for me where it should be ?

[marzapower]

I am having the same exact issues.

I have an old project built with cocos2d-x 3.1 and updated many times up to the 3.6 version. So, there is no .cocos-project.json file inside the main project directory.

Using the sdkbox installer tools from the root dir of the project used to give me the common failed to find cocos2d-x installation directory error.

I’ve previously run the ./setup.py from the root project dir, but with no success.

Then I’ve solved the issue doing this:

1. Removed all the cocos2d-x-related settings from my .bashrc or .zshrc file in my user’s home directory
2. Downloaded cocos2d-x 3.6 source code and extracted it in a place where I will keep it for the rest of my life
3. Run ./setup.py from the cocos2d-x 3.6 source code directory
4. Restarted the terminal
5. Run sdkbox symbols from the root dir of the project and now it works!

Hope this helps!

hi.
can u inform me how to get sdkbox installer?

[nite]

paste this to your command line and run it.

python -c "import urllib; s = urllib.urlopen('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdkbox-doc/en/master/install/install.py').read(); exec s"

[zllivedoor]

Where to download sdkbox installer ???

[zllivedoor]

python -c “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hugohuang1111/en/install/install.py)”

OMG…How can anyone know this command line ?

[zllivedoor]

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found

[pabitrapadhy]

hi @Kotaiba

i dont have cocos-project.json on my files .can you point for me where it should be ?

You can create one file by yourself.
create a new file with name “.cocos-project.json”

After creating the file, write these into it -

{
    "engine_type": "prebuilt", 
    "engine_version": "cocos2d-x-3.7", 
    "project_type": "cpp"
}

Now save the file and paste it into your project root folder.

NOTE:

if you are on mac then this file will be invisible by default, if you haven’t turned on the visibility of all files.
Change this to your current cocos verison

 "engine_version": "cocos2d-x-3.x",

Hello @jinjin and @zllivedoor

You can download the SDKBOX installer here

Steps :

1. Open the link, scroll down to the bottom of the page.
2. Find this -
   

Download the first link saying Auto Installer.

A .zip file will be downloaded.

Mac User -

Unzip the file and copy it’s content to your usr/local/bin
so that sdkbox would be available to your terminal.

Windows Users -

If you want to keep it updated all time with latest release, unzip at any location and set the directory path as environment variable, so that sdkbox would be available to your cmd.

Project Specific

If you just want it for the project only.
you can unzip the contents of the auto-installer into your project root folder.

Let me know in case of any difficulty.

Im getting this error, What to do ??

Hello @AbhyudaiRagh

That’s because the directory in which you are trying to import sdkbox plugins is not a game root directory.

You need to do this inside your root directory of the game you created.

For instance -

Say - C:\agd\games\DemoGame
is your root directory. Go to this directory in command prompt.
Now try to use sdkbox import -b <YOUR_DESIRED_PLUGIN>

and yes, if sdkbox is not found as internal or external command then please follow these steps mentioned inside the windows section.

Windows Users -

If you want to keep it updated all time with latest release, unzip at any location and set the directory path as environment variable, so that sdkbox would be available to your cmd.

can you please help me…

[pabitrapadhy]

Hello @Arjun_Singh

YourGameTitlefILE

First go inside this directory then run the command to import whatever plugins you want to integrate.

You need to be in your game project ROOT directory to be able to import plugins from sdkbox.

Best,
Pabitra

@pabitrapadhy thanks for your reply …i have done successfully
