Beholder Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I compiled GemRB with official SDL 1.3 for Android after applying some patches. But game is really slow. 1.5 times slower than compiled with pelya's port. I don't know why SDL so slowly on Android. Can only guess that this happens because of java wrapper is been used (damned java ). I stop my investigations of the official port. Link to comment
SyntaxError Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 on the plus side SDL for android just got some major updates and now officially supports multitouch Link to comment
Pacek Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 So I finally thought I'd give GemRb a shot on my Android phone, but I'm having some difficulties. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's what I did: •Installed latest apk from sourceforge •Copied all files except *.exe from Bg2 folder to phone (Fixpack and BG2Tweaks were installed) •copied lastest override and GUIscripts folder to phone The app crashes immediately after getting to SDL screen. There are no exe files in the game folder, should there be? Was I supposed to install the Android Market version first and then update with the Git version? I'm at a loss, so thanks in advance for any help. EDIT: changed cfg. paths to read, for instance: GamePath=app-data/net.sourceforge.gemrb/ is this wrong, correct, should I have stayed with default settings? Any way it still doesn't work...

lynx Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 GamePath should point to where you copied gemrb. Make it an absolute path for consistency. Link to comment
Pacek Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 GamePath should point to where you copied gemrb. Make it an absolute path for consistency. Does absolute path man without the "/" at the end? If GemRb is installed to the default location (in my case /sdcard/app-data/net.sourceforge.gemrb), this is where the gemrb.cfg file is and this is where I point SDL to download application data from, can't GamePath stay at default ("./") and the app should still work? Regardless, I tried installing afresh, and stilll getting nowhere: device is Samsung Galaxy S GTI9000 • uninstalled gemRb and cleared all folders. • reinstalled with v 0.6.6 apk from sourceforge] • renamed gemrb.cfg.sample to gemrb.cfg • downloaded override and scripts, not BG2 demo • copied all BG2 files (unmodded this time)to /net.sourceforge.gemrb/ on phone • deleted GUIScripts folder and replaced with 0.6.6 version • copied 0.6.6 override to phone after this, still no joy so now I try changing paths to specific folder, a few different permutations. At the moment it reads: GamePath=/sdcard/app-data/net.sourceforge.gemrb CD1=sdcard/app-data/net.sourceforge.gemrb CD2=sdcard/app-data/net.sourceforge.gemrb/CD2/ CD3=sdcard/app-data/net.sourceforge.gemrb/CD3/ CD4=sdcard/app-data/net.sourceforge.gemrb/CD4/ CD5=sdcard/app-data/net.sourceforge.gemrb/CD5/ the thing still won't fly! I have enough memory, I have pointed SDL to the correct folder and cleared the command line parameters. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. Link to comment
SyntaxError Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Does absolute path man without the "/" at the end? if by end you mean beginning the yes. alogcat is your friend. dont expect us to be able to help you without log output. Link to comment
Avenger Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Absolute path means the / is the first character, like /sdcard Starting with a dot or not / like ./anything is relative. Link to comment
Pacek Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Thanks fo the help, guys. I was able get it running finally with some clues from aLogcat: very helpful. One thing to note, the final hurdle was to clear the Cache directory, it had some bif files in the data folder. I had annoying vertical and horizontal lines at the edge of the main screen but I figured out this was due to "TouchScrollAreas" function. Now off, works like a charm. Can anyone point me towards info regarding new features/different implementation from original game, eg. the way c now works as tab did to highlight doors and containers?. I read somewhere there is an auto loot function. How to make this work? Link to comment
SyntaxError Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 the wiki is a good place to find information. Just reading the config file reveals most if not all config options. Link to comment
Guest Noodlemonk Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'm having difficulties copying SPL-files from my BG2-library to GemRB-library on my Galaxy S2. It always happens around files SPCL330.spl and up. Any thoughts on this? Link to comment

I found a wiki page about touchscrollareas (but only by directly looking for it). http://www.gemrb.org/wiki/doku.php?id=docs...ouchscrollareas I think autoloot, is a cheat key. So first enable cheat keys. There is no cheat key list currently on wiki, or i didn't find it. Link to comment

On an S1 this is done through settings>wireless and network>USB settings. Link to comment
