Request Implement Google Play Games Cloud Save

[jaredmorgs]

This issue has been discussed in passing in a few threads now, but unless you are a long-time TPA user you may not know this issue was proposed but not yet implemented.

Google Play Games Framework offers a number of facilities:

* Friends Management
* Leaderboards
* Achievements
* Cloud Save

Ryan has already ruled-out Leaderboards (management decision, regrettably).

For the purposes of this RFE only, the issue of Cloud Save is requested.

==Enhancement==

Please implement Google Play Games Cloud Save to back up:

1. Standard and Wizard Goal achievements
2. Local High Scores
3. Individual Game Settings

Listed in priority order.

I will officially submit this as a request to the support@pinballarcade.com address.

 

[Ryan Routon]

Yeah definitely email it stuff like this to support it has a much better chance of having management hear it that way, they don't touch the forums.

 

[jaredmorgs]

Yep, definitely. I sent the request to implement Alpha Planes on older tables as well, and that was well received by the support guys. Hopefully all the RFEs I have been documenting lately get some more exposure in management meetings. Would be great for you to be allocated budget to work on some of these long-standing issues.

 

[Baron Rubik]

Put my email into support@pinballarcade.com requesting both Cloud Save, and Kitkat's Immersive mode.

Sounds like it would help Ryan get the time allocated, if as many people did this as possible.

And got a reply back from support@pinballarcade.com...

"Hi there!
Yes, we definitely want to get cloud saving into Android as soon as possible, and those other features are awesome!! I'll forward this along to our Android programmer and pester him about it a bit for you guys "

Hmmmmm

 

[Ryan Routon]

don't worry ill tell them to pester Bobby otherwise we are stuck in an infinite loop as they say.

Have you got root access?
If yes, copy this file from this location...
/DATA/DATA/COM.FARSIGHT.ANDROIDPINBALL.JAVAPROJECT/FILES/saved_data

If no - keep hoping for cloud save.

No root, I'm afraid I'll mess things up if I try. Too much flipping caused many dead pixles.

Try this for the dead pixels - no root needed
