Thanks for the heads up

This game is in the list of games with medals, but doesn't list any medals on it at all.

Are you sure? I haven't played that particular game, but there do exist games (or at least one game) that in fact has medals but no medals are listed on the game's page itself. But if you earn the medals they do appear on your profile.

^This game for example.

There also exist games for which you have to play other games to unlock the medals (rather than the game itself)

This game https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/576042 though it has no medals listed on its page, must be played in order to get all the medals in this game https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/568624

In these cases the medals are not considered broken as they can still be obtained, even if it's a bit weird.

----------------------

However they need to remove medals from games like for example this game https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/598087 as the game itself has been deleted (or at least that's the message you get) yet the medals remain on people's profiles and would not be obtainable by anyone who didn't already have them. At least not through any legitimate means.

So those medals not only are broken but should be removed entirely as the games have already been removed entirely.

I'll play it to be sure, but how is someone to know how to obtain a medal without having the menu of medals available. This still seems to be an error that should be brought to attention is it not? Unless the medal menu shows up after you've obtained one, go to your page, and then click on a medal to see. Still needs attention in my opinion.

Well I played that game you linked and I don't appear to have any medals from it, if there are any. That said, since the medals are essentially mystery medals at that point, it's entirely possible I just didn't do whatever thing was required to earn them. Or it's possible the game has no medals.

As for the game I linked, try it out. You do get one medal just for playing and there are four medals in total (though none displayed on the game's page itself). You can check your profile for the medals.

I just consider it like secret medals but even more secret. So secret you don't even know the game has medals until you earn them. If you find any other games like that do pass them my way because it's a quite rare thing and a bit of an oddity.

There's this game which has a medal that I assume is broken: "The Big 500".

My guess is that it's unlocked by getting something special on the slot machine, but the last person to unlock it was in 2012.

I have the bad feeling that the medals in this game are broken. In the ordinary case after reaching the target of a medal an ingame popup should appear no matter if it is already unlocked or not. It doesn't happen when I play.

This game doesn't get past the intro animation. It freezes on the BigDino logo.

I tried it on Chrome and Firefox.

Thought this might be HTTPS related but it still freezes in HTTP mode, must be something on their end that no longer works. I've unpublished this.

As one of the few people on here who has got medals working with Unity I can tell you it's not simple getting medals to work for the first time, The documentation for Unity is at best... confusing. I've even had 6 other developers contact me asking me to talk them through the process.

If you know what you're doing you can have a pretty good idea whether medals will unlock correctly but you don't actually KNOW until the game is published especially if it's your first time using APIs.

PLEASE contact devs if there are medal/leaderboard bugs but be civil and bare in mind that fixes can sometimes take time. Lots of the devs on here are doing this in their limited spare time for free. Saying fuck you repeatedly and giving 0 ratings and reviews from sock accounts before giving them a chance to fix things which I've experienced is a very good way to make me refuse to help you and for thinner skinned devs could result in them never trying to use medals again or even driving them off the site.

I'm on your side, just giving you the dev's perspective. Over the next couple of weeks I'll be producing a video tutorial showing how to implement medals/leaderboards so hopefully that will improve things on the Unity side here.

Let me know if you have suggestions for changes / additions to parts of the documentation that might solve some of the common questions / confusion. We've been spread thin between API updates / documentation and site updates.

Hi!

I have done this visual guide to help others with their first time implementation of the Unity API, I finished my project last week and wanted to share my experience with the API from a beginner's point of view. Hope it helps!

Any feedback on it would be awesome!

Hey not bad! Off the top of my head I'd rather use a reference to the NGhelper rather than finding it every time and I'd have included something about saving and resubmitting all the score and medal data so players don't lose out if there is a problem such as their internet connection cutting out while playing.

Anyway this has got a little off topic, why not create a new thread in the programming forum?

Same thing for this jupitron game:
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/690371

Did you fulfill the requirements for the medals in both games? Especially Jupitron's games sometimes are weird in this matter.

"Circus Saved" medal in this game seems to be broken. I beat the final level ("desafio final") twice, refreshed the page and beat it a third time, and the medal was never unlocked. The rest of the medals work properly.

Did you click the tent in the ending screen? I can only remember that I also had problems unlocking this one and somehow it still worked after a while.

Changed these to load over HTTP which will hopefully solve it.

I've clicked everywhere in the ending screen (where it says "parabens"), I even managed to beat it without losing any life, but nothing. It's clearly broken (unless I'm missing something which I'm sure I am not)

It's been a while since I played it, but I am recalling that this medal unlocked for me in a weird way, even without beating the final boss, so it is bugged. Few months ago NeonSpider also raised that issue. Anyway I will try to get in touch with the author because people should not be forced to guess what they are supposed to do.

It's a glitchy one but if you keep clicking everywhere on the tent after beating the final boss you'll probably get it somehow. :/

@HerbieG
I already contacted the author long time ago. He said it was working and didn't bother to check.

I just beat it, checked out the medal without doing anything else and it was unlocked :/
One of the weirdest medals I've encountered in all my medal hunting adventure.

After completing the requirements the medal popup appears, but the game medals do not actually unlock. The following medals have only been unlocked by the author of the game and appear broken:

Don"t touch the king!
Awesome stand
Robin Hood
Samurai
Tactics Genius
Legend of Epic
Superstar

Some of those medals have not worked in years. It would be nice if they could be fixed, if not then remove them.

Medals are broken in this game.
