Deploying Your Touch Control Layouts

  • บทความ

Overview

Once you have built your touch layouts, you will want to interact with them in your game.

Prerequisites

To deploy and view your layouts you will need to have:

Deploying your layouts

1. Serve the layouts

On the Windows PC that has the Touch Adaptation Kit Command Line Tool (tak.exe) utilize the Serve Command to make the layouts available to devices that request them.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft GDK\bin>tak serve --layout-path C:\MyGameLayouts
Verifying touch adaptation bundle 'C:\MyGameLayouts '.
Now listening on: http://0.0.0.0:9269
Application started. Press Ctrl+C to shut down.
Hosting environment: Production
Content root path: C:\MyGameLayouts

2. Configuring the Content Test Application to load

In the settings of your Content Test Application, enter the configuration for the Touch Adaptation Settings (in the Developer section).

  • Make sure "Enable sideload" is toggled on
  • Enter the address to the PC (including port) that is serving the layouts

Note

If using the Web Content Test Application with Safari or to connect to a remote PC running the serve command, ensure that the sideload address starts with https and that the --certificate-file option was used. See Serve Command for more information on starting secure (https) sideload servers.

  • Enable auto refresh if you want changes that are made to the layouts to be immediately updated on all connected clients (otherwise updates will only happen when a new streaming connection is started).

Developer Settings.

3. Stream your game

Upon each streaming connection, the CTA will connect to the TAK server and download the latest layouts.
