Features
Ad Tracking Enhancement: Implemented an improved ad tracking system within the AdTracker script. The system now calculates the visibility of ads and reports the viewing time to the backend, ensuring more accurate tracking of ad impressions.
Ad Serving Logic Update: Modified the ServeAd to longer increase the impressions count directly. Instead, impressions are calculated internally based on Rene tracking mechanism.
Gizmo Drawing Improvements: Updated the gizmo drawing logic in the AdTracker and BannerAdSurface scripts to provide visual feedback in the Unity editor about the screen coverage of the ads.
Screen Percentage Calculation: Adjusted the calculation of the screen percentage coverage to handle cases where the ad surface is partially off-screen, ensuring more accurate visibility metrics.
Asynchronous Updates: Improved the FixedUpdate method in the AdTracker script to handle asynchronous ad view updates more efficiently.
Debug Logging: Enhanced debug logging within the AdTracker script to provide detailed information about ad visibility and coverage during development.
Initialization: The AdTracker script now automatically assigns the main camera if one is not specified, ensuring proper functionality out-of-the-box.
Coverage Calculation: Refined the CalculateScreenPercentage and CalculateCoverage methods to clamp screen coordinates and normalize them, ensuring accurate area calculations even when parts of the ad surface are off-screen.
Ad View Reporting: Implemented logic to report ad views to the backend when the visibility threshold is met, and the ad is no longer fully visible, improving the accuracy of ad impression tracking.
Features
Serve Ad On Start Logic: Introduced logic to serve ads at the start of gameplay, enhancing the ad delivery experience.
One-Side Text in Play Mode: Implemented text that appears on one side during play, providing better visual feedback for ad placements.
Custom Logger: Added a custom logging system for better tracking and debugging of ads.
GUI Updates: Made significant updates to the GUI, improving user interaction and interface clarity.
Foldout Logic and Behavior: Implemented new foldout logic and behavior, enhancing the organization and accessibility of the SDK settings.
Read-Only Field for Counting: Added a read-only field to keep track of ad counts, providing better visibility and control over ad metrics.
Possibility to connect with UserName in addition to Email connection:
Ad Tracker Enhancements: Improved the ad tracker to show the percentage of screen coverage within the scene, giving more precise metrics for ad visibility.
Mathematical System Update: Updated the mathematical equations and logic within the system to ensure more accurate calculations and results.
AdSurface Orientation and Vividness: Made adjustments to the banner side for more vivid presentations and improved the orientation of the ad surfaces for better visibility.
