Hoping to get some insight into the behavior I am seeing while trying to use GameLift Matchmaking.
I have my configuration setup as such that it does not require player acceptance, as such:
GameLiftMatchmakingConfiguration:
Type: AWS::GameLift::MatchmakingConfiguration
Properties:
AcceptanceRequired: false
...
When I go to the GameLift console and into the configuration I see that it was correctly set as well that it does not require acceptance.
This is where I am confused, because now I have it working where it places 2 users in PotentialMatchCreated and I get this event from GameLift. Then 30 seconds later, I get more events stating that these placements timed out and searching again.
The configuration documentation states that AcceptanceTimeoutSeconds is only required if AcceptanceRequired is true, which it is not for me.
the acceptance documentation states that you only call this When FlexMatch builds a match, all the matchmaking tickets involved in the proposed match are placed into status REQUIRES_ACCEPTANCE
Which its not, its in PotentialMatchCreated.
So my question is, what do I have to do to confirm a placement once GameLift places 2 users into a match? I am a bit surprised because I thought that the fact that it doesn't have to be accepted would mean that its automatically accepted match.
Also theres very little documentation I found regarding what to do in this situation, given the nature of this service not being as known as others I totally expected that but really hoping someone can help me on what to do next.
Any insight or help is greatly appreciated.
UPDATE1:
Additional information: I do not need to utilize GameLift fleets or builds at all. We have a browser game we are building and just want to utilize the matchmaking feature. So we dont have any game servers or anything like that, its just on our website where they would play the game and use our api's/websockets that puts the matchmaking on the server and notify the client when a match has been found with all the subsequent details.
UPDATE2:
To confirm my suspicions I decided to actually try to use the accept match endpoint and see what happens. Just as the documentation states, you can only accept a match if it requires acceptance. I get an error stating that I cannot accept a match that is not in REQUIRE_ACCEPTANCE state. Guessing this is a bug on AWS's side, I don't see any other endpoints that I can hit for being in state PotentialMatchCreated.
Figured out the issue. It has to do with the FlexModeMatch on the GameLiftMatchmakingConfiguration. For my use case, just needing matchmaking, STANDALONE is the correct implementation because we aren't having GameLift actually create game servers/sessions for us. I had mine using WITH_QUEUE which is why I believe I was having issues. Seemingly working correctly now.

I am trying to reduce the cooldown on the hearthstone and inscription research spell-like effects. I have identified the hearthstone item template and imported the hearthstone spell into spell_dbc. I have set the spell category cooldown to 1 second, but I am experiencing a strange issue. On use, the hearthstone is set to a 30-minute cooldown and not useable during this cooldown, but on logging out and logging back in, the correct cooldown is displayed and the item is useable once the cooldown has expired. I suspect that the client is tracking the cooldown of the hearthstone independently of the server. But I have no clue where to begin looking to fix this. Has anybody successfully made a change to spell cooldowns, and would you be willing to point me in the right direction?
Thank you!
Not a solution to your problem, but I'm pretty sure that what you are experiencing is actually an intended behavior to discourage hacking.
I think what is really going on is your login credentials are being used to create a secret that is then passed into the rest of their program, which is then used as a reference point for debugging.
Because they know the intended behavior of their own game, they can check to see if the results of arguments sent from your machine are within expected parameters.
And because your modifications fall outside of those parameters, what the developers decided to do was to change the cooldown to something sufficiently annoying to detect who keeps on manually logging out and logging back in again.
I studied programming in college, and I'm telling you that if you know enough to change the cooldowns locally, you should try doing something more productive. Either find another game to play at the same time, or just do something completely different from gaming altogether.
Hope somebody double checks what I have said here for accuracy, because I am curious to know if I am correct about my assessment.
The solution is to delete the client cache.
I am using Google Cloud Translation API in one of my projects. I want to specify the gender for the translation. I am unable to find about this in Google Cloud Translation. I have also searched a lot on the Internet but not found any way to do this. I know how to specify the gender in Google Text to Speech API using the SSML, but I need it for the translation. Any help will be highly appreciated.
After much searching I have discovered that there is currently no way to do this.
I have made a feature request along these lines at the invitation of GCP support.
The documentation indicates that feature requests are prioritised by how often an issue is starred, so for now my best answer is to star the issue here so that they know how many people are interested in this.
Looking for the same...
As it is NMT (Neural Machine Translation), it reacts to context.
I tried many combinations and found that this works well so far (says, not 'to', not 'talk').
Examples are EN > ES
However, sometimes its effect doesn't reach far in the translation.
So you have to stick the 'prefix' before each sentence.
Sometimes you get irregular behavior (see lower case "estoy"). And when you change something irrelevant (to you, but not to the model) ... buala!
So the final version (for now) is:
I guess the point is:
Understanding how it works (Machine Learning Language Models)
The Model (Algorithm) they use is evolving, so you need to keep an eye, as what works today may break tomorrow.
Once you get the response you will have to filter out you 'prefix', but that is not too difficult.
Please comment if you find better ways (or the API gets updated).

Problem
If you choose to use avoidArea, exclueCountries or avoidLinks (and probably some more that I wasn't able to test) in your request router enforces fastest route mode.
Given is route from Poland to Germany.
Official testing client: http://refclient.ext.here.com/
First request (no avoids, no excludes, mode:shortest) was:
https://route.api.here.com/routing/7.2/calculateroute.json?app_code=pxIXqdtgOSwQDXSDfjLQpw&app_id=cgZPrYfgRePXzXC3PbBp&jsonattributes=41&language=en-us&legattributes=le&maneuverattributes=po,ti,pt,ac,di,fj,ix&metricsystem=metric&mode=shortest;car&routeattributes=sh&waypoint0=geo!stopOver!53.49012,18.80973&waypoint1=geo!stopOver!53.61957,12.43167
This resulted in a quite straightforward route like below.
If we add now any country exclusion (e.g. GBR, CHE, CZE) the route is now routed via motorways like fastest mode was enforced.
https://route.api.here.com/routing/7.2/calculateroute.json?app_code=pxIXqdtgOSwQDXSDfjLQpw&app_id=cgZPrYfgRePXzXC3PbBp&avoidseasonalclosures=false&excludecountries=CHE,GBR,CZE&jsonattributes=41&language=pl-pl&legattributes=le&maneuverattributes=po,ti,pt,ac,di,fj,ix&metricsystem=metric&mode=shortest;car&routeattributes=sh,zo&waypoint0=geo!stopOver!53.49012,18.80973&waypoint1=geo!stopOver!53.61957,12.43167
EDIT 1 BEGIN
I checked out the new routing API and results are similar:
Without avoids:
https://route.ls.hereapi.com/routing/7.2/calculateroute.json?apiKey={API_KEY}=41&language=en-us&legattributes=le&maneuverattributes=po,ti,pt,ac,di,fj,ix&metricsystem=metric&mode=shortest;car&routeattributes=sh&waypoint0=geo!stopOver!53.49012,18.80973&waypoint1=geo!stopOver!53.61957,12.43167
With avoids:
https://route.ls.hereapi.com/routing/7.2/calculateroute.json?apiKey={API_KEY}&avoidseasonalclosures=false&excludecountries=CHE,GBR,CZE&jsonattributes=41&language=pl-pl&legattributes=le&maneuverattributes=po,ti,pt,ac,di,fj,ix&metricsystem=metric&mode=shortest;car&routeattributes=sh,zo&waypoint0=geo!stopOver!53.49012,18.80973&waypoint1=geo!stopOver!53.61957,12.43167
On a sidenote, http://refclient.ext.here.com/ doesn't have option to test new API

Question
Why is it happening? Is it designed behavior? If not, when can we expect this to be fixed?
Ok, I've got an answer for you from engineering. I'm rewording a bit so any mistakes/confusion blame me, not him. :)
So yes, the API here is ignoring your request to use shortest.
Quote from developer: Specifically in this case, when using "shortest" mode and requesting additional "avoids", routes more than 300km or so are not "good". It does not fall back to "fastest" mode but another mode where "fastest" route shape has more of an influence.
You mentioned wanting to avoid tolls, be aware that you can ask for that option when calling the API, so that may be a solution for you.
I hope this helps a bit, and thank you for being patient.
When I make multiple resumes attempt to a single course the cmi.core.score.raw score is not updated properly.
Suppose there are 5 sections in the course. If the user successfully completes the 2 sections, then exits the score is proper (say 30). While the user resumes the course, it starts with the proper position and even if the user correctly answers all the question correctly, the score is not updating to 100 ( it saves as 70-80 ). It shows the result as failed which is wrong since the user has answered all the questions correctly.
I thought it may be due to the suspend_data max limit posed by SCORM 1.2, but the course resumes at the correct location every time. So I am confused about what may be causing this behavior?
I also tried the same course in scormcloud, there also the same issue persists.
Are there any settings which we need to take care while creating the SCORM 1.2 package which may have caused this issue?
Has anyone faced this issue previously? I googled and couldn't find the appropriate answer. Any help would be appreciated.
Update: I'm attaching the scromcloud launch history image which will clearly show the score value at launch start and end.
The SCO is typically responsible for conducting the "math" portion since it maintains the cmi.core.score section of the student attempt.
You're correct to assume something with the suspend data may not be giving the SCO's capability of determining a history of correct/incorrect but deeper analysis would be required within the logic of the SCO to find out if it fully supported being put back in a position it left off in.
SCORM 1.2 was mostly a 'optional' standard in regards to the support of the Student Attempt. And even though the standard often states there are character limits it typically was optionally enforced by the LMS.
So something to possibly evaluate whats going on within the SCO while using it on a LMS would be to try out the bookmarklet on https://cybercussion.com or see if you can locate the deeper logs on SCORM cloud which show the actual data being stored. Its always possible the suspend data is obfuscated but since you said SCORM 1.2 I'm going to say doubtful. It may be semi-human readable.
Fail that we'd need to dig into the SCO code base to determine how it "puts itself back" after obtaining the suspend data. To do that I'd search the code base for "cmi.suspend_data" to maybe help locate it.
i want to handle any download request coming from Webview. how it is possible ? the documentation https://developer.blackberry.com/native/reference/cascades/bb__cascades__webresourcerequestfilter.html and https://developer.blackberry.com/native/reference/cascades/bb__cascades__webdownloadrequest.html are describing the parameters but couldn't figure out how to do it.
Your question is not clear on what you don't understand. Remember this is not a training forum, the idea is that you should try things, review the documentation and then ask specific questions to get the best out of a forum.
Moreover it is not clear whether you are trying to handle the download request at the Server, or capture the request before the download attempt leaves the BB.
I'm going to assume you want to display a web page on the BlackBerry but make sure that any resource requests that the page generates, are filtered by your program, so that you can supply the data (assuming you have it).
I implemented something like this a while ago and remember that it was not simple to figure out what was going on, but I played with it a bit and it all made sense.
I don't remember using WebDownloadRequest and can't really see how it helps in this case.
The key is WebResourceRequestFilter. You create your own WebResourceRequestFilter making sure you implement the required methods. Then you use WebPage::setNetworkResourceRequestFilter(WebResourceRequestFilter*) to make sure the webpage will ask your WebResourceRequestFilter for its resources. The first method the web page invokes is filterResourceRequest(), and the return from this invocation determines which other methods in your WebResourceRequestFilter, the Webage will invoke.
I suggest you implement a WebResourceRequestFilter, put some debugging in filterResourceRequest(), but always return FilterAction Accept, which means the web page will use its normal processing to obtain the resources. Then try various other FilterAction return values and see what happens...
