Got it running on Nexus 7

[lynx]

the game dir, same one that contains dialog.tlk

[Beezle Bug]

Yeah - Got it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cd37di5eigzts2f/GemRB.log?dl=0

 

there are a lot of warnings about wrong paths and sound at the beginning (as far as I could understand...) but so far everything runs fine...

[lynx]

That's fine, just dangling pointers from the original game authors (game uses a separate file index).

[ResourceManager/WARNING]: Invalid path given: /usr/share/fonts/TTF (CustomFonts)

that's clearly not the right path for you (just our default).

[Beezle Bug]

Hey - thanks for checking this!

 

... but what do I do now ?

[lynx]

in the config, you have to set CustomFonts to point to the dir with the ttf fonts you want to use.

Is it possible to start gemrb on android 5.1? Im having problems getting to work on my BB Priv. the app starts screen becomes black and goes back to android a little after.

My gemrb.log in my gamefoled (pst) is empty when opening with es notepad.

 

Im useing Torrment APK file as 8.3 and 8.3999999 were giving me errors

[lynx]

did you edit the config?

[oraclex]

Sorry for the rather short reply. Yea I did.

Here are the parts I edited

 

GameType=pst

 

# GamePath=/storage/emulated/0/gemrb/pst/

# CD1=/storage/emulated/0/gemrb/pst/data/

# CD2=<CD2_PLACEHOLDER>

# CD3=<CD3_PLACEHOLDER>

# CD4=<CD4_PLACEHOLDER>

# CD5=<CD5_PLACEHOLDER>

CachePath=/sdcard/gemrb/pst/cache

I copied my pst directory in /sdcard/gemrb/

Anything that looks off to you so far?

Cheers!

yes, the hash/octothorpe/sha designates a comment, meaning we ignore the whole line, so remove them before GamePath and CD1.

[oraclex]

thanks! That did the trick alright!

Looking the game did take awhile. it that normal?

 

Anyother lines that are important in the cfg file?

 

it crashed for me now but atleast it starts

The resolution in not correct but I can fix that.

[lynx]

those are the crucial ones. How soon did it crash / what did you do?

[oraclex]

trying to start the game after distributing the character points

[oraclex]

Nvm, it was due to the wrong resolutions. The fonts are quite bad, will decrease the resolution even more. Do you recommend any additional font?

[lynx]

The originals used bitmap fonts and they of course don't scale. I don't know if tormentor built the TTF plugin and since it's a static build, it won't be visible from the log, but if he did, you can use almost any font at any size you like. Look at this and previous page for discussions on the very same topic.

I'm pretty sure I just built the whole shebang, as is described in the build instructions that come with gemrb. It is possible to quickly tap the screen three times to get a zoom in effect, you might have to enable that in the settings. I'm no longer running gemrb on android because the performance is so much worse than on the PC. Usually I just want to play the game and for that, running it under wine on my PC is the smoothest option. I'm generally disappointed with tablet computers, and with the android OS, the devices simply perform quite badly and eventually with long use performance slows to a crawl. The things are only good for browsing IMHO.
