RAPT - Ren'Py Android Packaging Tool

[MadScientist]

Hello again^^ I updated RAPT to 6.15.7.0 and when I try to build get this:

BUILD FAILED
K:\rapt-6.15.7.0\android-sdk\tools\ant\build.xml:455: ../market_licensing resolv
e to a path with no project.properties file for project K:\rapt-6.15.7.0\android
-sdk\extras\google\play_apk_expansion\downloader_library

Google Play Licensing Library and Google Play APK expansion library was both installed in SDK. Any suggestions what I can try to do?

Is there a way to implement automatic updating of a game?

[PyTom]

Automatic updating is taken care of by the various Android app stores. I don't think there's anything we need to do to implement it on our end.

[leon]

Awesome! Thanks.

How exactly would I build RAPT itself? (NOT packaging a game). I would like to try an updated version of renpy on android for video support which was added a couple of months ago. (Assuming I didn't miss something and this isn't already in rapt). I am using cygwin and have python 2.7.3 installed. When I tried building it, it complained this:

Code: Select all

_renpy is out of date.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "module/setup.py", line 59, in <module>
    sdl + [ 'png', 'z', 'm' ])

Um... it's really hard, and requires Linux.

You need to first get set up so you can build Ren'Py on your system.

Then check out rapt, and use git submodule update to grab my fork of python-for-android.

Then you want to grab the android-sdk and android-ndk-r8c and place them into the rapt directory. Update android-sdk to have the android-8 and android-15 sdks, and platform tools.

Then run build_renpy.sh to build the distribution.

[nothingatall]

Hmm, thought so. I was able to get away with cygwin for stuff like nxengine (cave story).

[PyTom]

If you'd like, I can just build the new code and post it somewhere. It'll be unoffical, though.

[nothingatall]

If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate it.

[PyTom]

Attached.

[nothingatall]

Thank you. Hopefully what I'm trying will work.

[PyTom]

I'll warn you that the list of codecs android supports is different than that of Desktop Ren'Py. Check out the Android list here:

[nothingatall]

Yeah I suppose I'll have to wait until ffmpeg or similar is added. (stupid matroska videos). Thanks anyway.
