Remove a extension from Libgdx - libgdx

I thought I was going to use Box2d in my game but I won't use it anymore. How can I remove the extension? I was finding if someone has already made this question, but I didn't find.

This is very simple. You will only have to remove the dependencies from your projects.
Open your build.gradle file in the root folder of your projects and search for these dependencies.
After that you will probably have to trigger a refresh in your IDE. For example in eclipse you do this via a rightclick in your project -> Gradle -> Refresh dependencies.

Getting error while creating JavaFX11 application in Apache Netbeans 10

i am new to java fx and i have downloaded Apache Netbeans 9 which runs on java 11.
since java fx is shipped separately, i have downloaded openjfx-11.0.1_SDK and followed steps in this link https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/#install-javafx
when i try to create java fx application in apache netbeans , i am getting below error
Failed to automatically set-up a JavaFX Platform.
Please go to Platform Manager, create a non-default Java SE platform, then go to the JavaFX tab,
enable JavaFX and fill in the paths to valid JavaFX SDK and JavaFX Runtime.
Note: JavaFX SDK can be downloaded from JavaFX website
attaching screen shot of netbeans 10.
This is for the future developers that will stumble on this problem. You can follow this video for Installing JavaFX13 and integrate it with Apache Netbeans 11.2. Try following the instructions here
There might be problems with CSS autocomplete but you can create a JavaFx project now.
Edited: As suggested from the other answer, you can download the JavaFX from the official page of JavaFX.
I had the same issue on Netbeans 11. I solved this issue by following below steps.
Download the javafx.zip file from the website and after downloading it put it on JDK folder.
First, click on Manage Platforms and then click on Add platform and after clicking on Add platform it will ask of the filename, so give the path till JDK folder.
After giving path click on next and it will ask for platform name and platform sources so in platform sources give the path till src.zip (jdk/lib/src.zip) and press finish button.
After finishing button, you will see the new platform is added with the same name you have given platform name then click on it and go-to sources and click on Add Jar/Folder button and give the path till javafx.zip file which is saved on JDK folder.
After giving path click on add Jar/folder and close it. After closing it click on JavaFX platform and in that you will see the platform name is there click on it and create the project.
The problem is fixing by jdk1.8. Download and install at the page - https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html for your platform. For me, it was "Linux x64 Compressed Archive"(https://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/8u241-b07/1f5b5a70bf22433b84d0e960903adac8/jdk-8u241-linux-x64.tar.gz)
after that:
setting up 1
setting up 2
It may be too late, but I figured it out nonetheless. You, and all other people reading this while trying to figure out how to use JavaFX with any Apache Netbeans version should:
create a new Library, name it JavaFx and in it, put all the .jar files(not the src.zip file) inside the lib directory of the unzipped javafx installation.
create a new normal java project. Go to project properties, and to module path, add the library JavaFx.
create a new module-info.java file (netbeans automates it) in that project and in it, you should put a dependency to all of the JavaFx components, if netbeans didn't already do that (in my case, it did. I didn't even have to hand code a single dependency). And yes, declare the module as "open module".
In essence, I just told you to modularize your project

TKCustomMap Version Conflict

This issue has been reported on GitHub here -
https://github.com/TorbenK/TK.CustomMap/issues/325
Has anyone else has struggled with this? I was stoked to find this nuget package because it does exactly what I'm looking for but it needs Places and some other GooglePlayServices installed and I can't install them because of this conflict.
I'm also not sure if uninstalling TK.CustomMap and then installing the Play Services would even help because the person who reported the issue on GitHub said-
I converted my app to .net 2.0 and had to use the newest Google play services
60.1142.1 for AdMob to work. It wouldn't install until I uninstalled TK.CustomMap, and now TK.CustomMap won't reinstall because it only want to use GooglePlayServices 42.1021.1
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error NU1107 Version conflict detected for Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Tasks. Reference the package directly from the project to resolve this issue.
HunterTracker.Android -> Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Base 60.1142.1 -> Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Tasks (= 60.1142.1)
HunterTracker.Android -> HunterTracker -> TK.CustomMap 2.0.1 -> Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Location 42.1021.1 -> Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Tasks (= 42.1021.1).
That's pretty much the exact error I'm getting trying to install the other packages. There's no resolution on github.
Anybody found a work around? Or does anyone know how to "Reference the package directly from the project"?
Thanks to SushiHangover's comments above pointing me in the right direction I was able to discover what I needed to do here. I had an error updating the nuget packages of TK.CustomMap at first because v26 Xamarin.Android.Support.Vector.Drawable was targeting MonoAndroid8.0 and the update to v27 must target MonoAndroid8.1 So it took quite a bit just to be able to update the nuget packages in order to get the assemblies with later versions so I could use TK.CustomMap in my solution. But I was eventually able to get there. Here were the steps I followed (as best I can remember). I am unable to compile ios right now because I don't have a MAC so that fix will have to come later. This fix is for the shared project and Android project only
Download the TK.CustomMap-master from github
Extract it and delete the Sample project completely (I also deleted the UWP project as I'm not really interested in that at this time)
Opened and built then closed. Deleted packages folder, vs folder, bin and obj from Android and Shared Project (this step is probably not necessary but I did it so...)
In the packages.config in Android changed all targets from monoandroid80 to monoandroid81 save file
In the TK.CustomMap.Android.csproj for every v26.0.1 of any Xamarin.Android.Support or other Xamarin.Android util package changed 26.0.1\lib\MonoAndroid80 to 27.0.2.1\lib\MonoAndroid81 - save file
In the nuget folder in TK.CustomMap.nuspec changed the target framework in this section
<group targetFramework="lib\MonoAndroid7.0">
<dependency id="Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Location" version="42.1021.1" />
<dependency id="Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Places" version="42.1021.1" />
<dependency id="Xamarin.Android.Maps.Utils" version="0.5.0" />
<dependency id="Xamarin.Forms" version="2.5.0.91635" />
<dependency id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="10.0.3" />
</group>
to
<group targetFramework="lib\MonoAndroid">
so it could target any version
Opened and updated all nuget packages using package manager (not console). Built debug and release builds
At this point opened solution I had tried to implement TK.CustomMap in previously to attempt the fix. Remember the original issues was that the latest frameworks could not be used and 42.1021.1 frameworks were unable to locate com.google.gms.location and com.google.gms.places.ui files so they had to be updated or no TK.CustomMap
In the problem solution uninstalled TK.CustomMap from all projects
In the problem solution Android project added reference to all the dlls in the release folder of the Android bin file from TK.CustomMap project.
Installed updates for all Xamarin.Android frameworks in problem solution through Package Manager (not console)
Installed updates of all other nuget packages for all projects using Package Manager (not console)
Installed TK.CustomMap to Shared project using Package Manager (not console)
Added the References to the android project a second time. May or may not have helped.
Installed TK.CustomMap Nuget Package using Package Manager (not console)
Built and ran on Live Player successfully!!
Thanks to Sushi Hangover for the advice. I haven't seen any comprehensive tutorials anywhere on how to accomplish this so I figured I would post my own answer in case anyone else was looking. Definitely if you are new to VS all this stuff is no walk in the park in the beginning.
Thanks to #Travis Fleenor. This is my solution. I change a bit your sequence in order to work on mine.
1. Make sure the original proyect from github (https://github.com/TorbenK/TK.CustomMap) works and you can run it.
2. Update the nugets where you get the conflict. In my case I got conflicted in googleplay library version. I updated it in the original proyect and then assure it could run it.
3. Compile entire solution in release mode. Then, copied the generated dll from bin/release and pasted them in a folder in my desktop.
4. I referenced those dll to shared proyect and android proyect. I only used nuget package manager to install some missing packages needed for the tk.custom. Notice that you only will reference some dll that the proyect accept. For the mayority Visual will prompt ' dll already referenced' something.
5. first reference your shared proyect, later your android one. That's all. make sure the you ca recompile solution.
Hope this helps

How to properly update Monogame with a Github PR

Heey,
I got a little problem. The current Monogame 3.2 build available hasn't got a working template for Windows Phone 8. This will result into a black screen and a non working app. So I went onto their git hub and found the issue https://github.com/mono/MonoGame/pull/2089 and someone who fixed it and posted a Pull request.
The problem now is I have close to zero experience with building my own version or editing project template files. I got some common knowledge and started to delve into this all and already tried copying the template files to my visual studio files and building projects and throwing around the new .DLL but it all doesn't want to work properly. I started to work with the older template but I need the new version due to proper support for landscape in windows phone 8 that we need to utilize for our game.
Now is my question if someone knows the right/proper way to do this. A short summing up from what to copy where will do.
Thanks in advance.
Okay it took me some time but I figured out what to copy,build,set and run.
You download the .Zip or make a pull with your Github into an empty folder and when finished extract it.
In the map open the MonoGame.Framework or MonoGame.Framework.”your
target platform” which will startup visual studio.
Build the solution/project (don’t forget to build in ARM, x86 and
x64 if enabled and needed) and navigate to “Extracted
folder”/MonoGame.Framework/bin/”your targeted platform” at the same
time open a new explorer and navigate to your MonoGame installation
by default C:\Program Files (x86)\MonoGame\v3.0
Navigate in your extracted folder to your targeted platform and
build and copy the MonoGame.Framework.dll to the opposing C:\Program
Files (x86)\MonoGame\v3.0\Assemblies\”targeted platform”\”build”
Rebuild your Project/Solution
Gratz you now updated your MonoGame :)
This could fix your problem but it’s possible that you still get an error when initializing your app on your phone or emulator DXGI related.
If this occurs then follow these steps. The problem lies probably by your SharpDX.WP8.dll how to fix this? In my case download and install the newest SharpDX http://sharpdx.org/download/ you could also look further how to only download the SharpDX.WP8.dll & .winmd!
Navigate to your SharpDX install (by default C:\Program Files
(x86)\SharpDX) navigate further to
Bin\DirectX11_1-“platform”-“build”\ and copy the SharpDX.WP8.dll and
.winmd to C:\Program Files
(x86)\MonoGame\v3.0\Assemblies\WindowsPhone\”build”
Rebuild your Project/Solution (if this still doesn't work you may
need to manually add the references again to SharpDX.WP8.winmd for
both builds)
So if it’s alright this should fix most issues but there is one left. Between MonoGame 3.0.x and 3.2 the project template of a windows phone game has changed but this didn't went well in the code. So we’re now going to update the project template of our Visual Studio.
Go back to your extracted Monogame map and head into the folder
“ProjectTemplates”\”your visual studio version”\WindowsPhone
Select all files and create a .Zip (could be done by the integrated
windows option “Send To”) make sure when you open the .Zip you will
immediately see all the files and they aren't nested into a folder
inside the .Zip
Navigate to C:\Users\”your PC name”\Documents\Visual Studio
201X\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#\MonoGame and copy your
just created .Zip and overwrite the existing file.
You may have to follow these steps if you use different version of Visual Studio because of the lack of support for XNA inside VS2013.
Now you should've fixed any possible problem. If your project still gives errors try to recreate a new one (this would now use the new updated template you just copy pasted and would work) If this still doesn't work than please post what goes wrong but this all should do! These instructions should also work for all other platforms (at least which you could build of course)
Pretty easy to do pull it in to your own version.
Follow these steps:
Fork the Monogame repository
Clone your version to your local machine
Find the repository of the fixed code.
In a command prompt, move to your MonoGame folder, and pull the changes in using this line on your machine. (the branch is most likely master)
git pull http://github.com/other/repo branch_name
Once you have the pull request pulled into your local branch, just build it using Visual Studio.
You can also follow these steps if you think you'll be doing this often.
https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork
For some reason MrME, I couldn't get your solution to work because of some missing SharpDX reference which REFUSED to be added manually. While your solution may be valid I would like to present an alternative if you have the patience to transfer the code to a Monogame 3.2 project and are still getting the black screen:
Set the DrawingSurface to a DrawingSurfaceBackgroundGrid in the GamePage.xaml. Full details are found in the commented explanation at the bottom of the GamePage.xaml file.

libgdx HTML5 deployment

I've been working with libgdx for 2 days, and I'm starting to get the hang of it.
I'm comfortable with deployment on Android and desktop, but I've got no clue about how to run/debug or deploy the HTML5 version.
When I run as web application, the link gives me an http error 404.
I did what they say on the libgdx wiki, but that ain't working, so, help would be welcome.
BTW, the app's working fine on Android and desktop.
This worked for me:
In Eclipse -- right click on the *-html project. Select "Google" -> "GWT Compile". This will perform a GWT compile on the project, it can take a while so be patient. Once this is completed, I was able to copy the expanded war directory into my tomcat webapps directory. Tomcat was already running, it picked up the change and deployed the game, I was able to load it via localhost:8080/war/ I later renamed the directory (the one in the webapps folder) to something more appropriate for my project.
Good luck.
I ran into this problem for over an hour before realizing that when I selected "run as web application" and eclipse asked me to point to the war directory, I was silly enough to have been selecting the root directory of the project.
Once I went back and pointed to the actual war folder, it ran without issue. Silly I know, but might not be a bad idea to check, esp if anyone is setting this up at 1 am like I am lol.
According to the current date (December 2014), Libgdx now uses gradle and deploying using the mikeys's answer might not work for you. Follow the following guide for the best solution for this problem:
https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki/Gradle-on-the-Commandline
It's a bit difficult to deploy the app correctly. In the wiki of Libgdx (in google code) you can find in one of the first entries how to deploy and debug the app. The easiest way is to install and configure a Tomcat server, do the steps of the wiki and that's all. If you don't want deploy the app, only test it, you can do it directly from eclipse with the embedded server jetty included on the GWT Sdk. Hope this helps you.

Flash sdk on IntelliJ IDEA

I am trying to learn actionScript 3.0 from scratch and I was advised to use Intellij IDEA for development.However I am really struggling to install Flash SDK in it. Could someone help me with it? Please don't refer me to documentation, I tried already and faild miserably. Thanx
It is only for Ultimate Edition
The basic setup of IDEA for as3 project is:
Install & unpack (if needed) Flex SDK
With Idea opened, choose File->Project Structure (even if project isn't opened or created)
In SDK section, press + at the top of second columnd and choose Flex SDK from dropdown list
Select folder, where you have previously unpacked Flex SDK (where you have subfolders bin, frameworkds and so on)
Return to Project section in Project Structure window.
Choose default Project SDK from dropdown list (near New... button)
Press OK.
Now, you are prepared for project creating (via File->New Project...)
Also, the 3.6 SDK download has really messed up permissions. IntelliJ would let me select the folder, but just quietly do nothing.
I had to sudo chmod -R a+r [sdk dir] and sudo chmod -R a+x [sdk dir]/frameworks to get it to actually add the SDK after selecting.
Do the first one and see if it works, I was being pretty callous with my chmod'ing, but the frameworks directory had no permissions at all. It, at least, needs to be +rx.
