Beholder Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I don't know other tricks. But I know that devices with Gingerbread roms runs GemRB more faster then devices with Froyo. Link to comment
Lvdisturbed1 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 It seems widescreen mod and changing the gemrb.cfg file to reflect resolution has a drawback. Performance suffers from the high resolution (1024x600 for galaxy tab). Any ideas for a good resolution that wont hinder performance, and will still look decent on the galaxy tab's larger screen?

alx3apps Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Could you compile it despite the fact it is unstable, and maybe post .apk here? Pretty please ^^? Or, could you post a complete guide how to compile it? (So I can play and try to find problems myself) Android version can be built from these sources - https://github.com/pelya/commandergenius . Besides GemRB there are some other interesting android projects in that repo. Build documentation included (need patched NDK etc). Though, have not tried it myself yet. Desktop version here - git://gemrb.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/gemrb/gemrb , have built and run it on linux without problems (only need recent cmake). Link to comment
Beholder Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 That's right. Pelya's repository contains GemRB sources fully configured for building, but not latest. It's official 0.6.4 (I sended these sources to him before released 0.6.4 on Market). You may download repo and update sources manually before building. This should work. Link to comment
Beholder Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I installed gingerbread ROM on my device. This really speeds up GemRB. No more lags in videos and choppy sounds. Great! Link to comment

Guest Rayalis Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Is there a way to highlight containers? I've tried remapping the physical keys to 'LALT' and 'RALT', but they don't highlight. I've successfully mapped 'TAB' to display the character's hp above their head, so the buttons work, am I just mapping it to the wrong key? Link to comment
Beholder Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 This function used 'c' hot key on Android, not 'LALT', and mapped to "Search" physical key on default. You may remap 'c' to other physical key in SDL menu. Link to comment
Guest vidriera Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Thanks for the posted config file a few pages back! I'm not sure what was up with mine, but I just changed both bg1's to bg2 and added CD2,CD3, etc to the paths and it works fine now. I've been trying to get this to work for a while now!

Checked FPS on galaxy tab 7": stock 2.2 Froyo, 1024x600, 16 bit color depth. Got stable 25 - 40 FPS, seems comfortably playable to me. Maybe you have some heavy background apps eating your RAM? Or something wrong with SDL settings? edit: typo Link to comment
alx3apps Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Beholder, maybe you can help me. Not write PM cause think it's not only mine issue. I'm installed IWD(full)+HoW(full)+TotLM on windows. Patched resources with widescreen mod to 1024x600 for GemRB. It works fine on android until I enter Kuldahar. In Kuldahar I cannot enter any house, party opens door, comes into it and stands still - nothing happened. Trying enter druids house I have "Save successful" ant nothing happens except of sudden extreme slowness of the game. On other house there are no such slowness, but no success with any house. I tried to reproduce this on desktop linux, but the save-game (autosave before enters druids house) works fine. I think this is android specific issue. Some content for this problem: using GemRB 0.6.4, linux 2.6.26-2-686 (desktop), galaxy tab 2.2 savegame (autosave): http://www.mediafire.com/?b9rexg4yfsquv3p Log from desktop linux on entering druids

Avenger Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Are you positive that ./cache is a writable directory? Do you imply that android may not be able to handle the '/\' part in the path? At least our logging is better now. Link to comment
alx3apps Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Are you positive that ./cache is a writable directory? Yes, it's writeable, and GemRB also can write to it (so game works fine until Kuldahar) Do you imply that android may not be able to handle the '/\' part in the path? I haven't know about it earlier, seems it's true. Default file browser don't allow to put \ in file name. Other browsers allow, but name not updated on disc. From console I got: $ ls foo $ mv foo bar $ ls bar $ mv bar \bar $ ls bar $ mv bar \\bar # think maybe some escaping needed failed on 'bar' - Invalid argument Also googled this iissue - http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8779 At least our logging is better now. Yes, logging really helps now! Link to comment
