RAPT - Ren'Py Android Packaging Tool

[chewpower]

I have a problem in rapt .. Can you please help me .. thanks

What is the content of folder "game"? If I'm not mistaken, it should contain files/folders of your Ren'Py game project, i.e. by default:
"game"
"tmp"
"log.txt"
"project.json"
"README.html"
(and sometimes with addition "android-icon.png" and "android-preplash.jpg" if you wish to have your own preplash screen and icon)

It's ok now.. i have another problem. . how can I use the latest version of sdk? I downloaded Android 4.1.2 and all its components in the Android SDK Manager but when I build release my project, It is still using the older version which is Android 4.0.3 .. .Need help. .thanks

[PyTom]

Ren'Py should download and use the Android 2.2 SDK. (For now, it's trying for compatibility with a broad range of devices.)

So how can I use the Android 4.1.2 sdk platform? and to be the version of my game?

[jayroll123]

Is there a way that I can use Renpy and Pygame in one program? and convert int using RAPT?
thanks

[PyTom]

There isn't an easy way to mix pygame, Ren'Py, and RAPT. You pretty much have to pick two, since Ren'Py likes to take control of things when it's running. It's an engine, not a library.

[bobobo1618]

Would it be possible for RAPT built distributions to download and install their own Expansion APKs in the future?

I ask this because at the moment there are two options:
- Distribute through the Play Store
- Install the builds manually

If you integrated download support (supply a URL at build time?), then we could distribute our VNs ourselves and not rely on Google.

[PyTom]

Ren'Py makes using an expansion APK optional. For other app stores, or sideloading, you can omit the expansion APK entirely.

I'm having trouble with the second step. "android.py test" returns "All systems go!"

When I try to run "android.py installsdk" I get an error message:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Dewi\Downloads\Python\rapt-6.14.0.1>android.py installsdk

I'm compiling a short test program, to see if you have a working JDK
on your system.


The JDK is present and working. Good!


I'm downloading Apache Ant. This might take a while.


I'm extracting Apache Ant.

I'm running the command prompt window as admin. The rapt-6.14.0.1 folder contains the "apache-ant-1.8.4-bin.tar.gz" file and the extracted "apache-ant-1.8.4" folder. Anybody else had this trouble? Any ideas?

Open the 'buildlib\install_sdk.py' and change the 1.8.4 to 1.9.2.

Trying to use rapt for the first time.

I've setup my JAVA_HOME environment variable and when trying to install from the android screen of the launcher. It gives me an error telling me it cannot compile the test program android.txt reads:

javac: file not found: test.java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options

Any thoughts?

I'm on windows 7 and I installed both jdks for x64 and x86...

[PyTom]

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Maybe make sure you have the right RAPT, and try restarting the launcher?

[ryanshowseason2]

Alright I understood the directions incorrectly. I copied the rapt directly to the folder and overwrote a bunch of stuff I shouldn't have.

So to install on my device manually I need the apk and the obb right? Anything else?

Put the obb into /android/obb/Vore.Novel/

Someone tried testing it for me since I cannot and sent me this traceback

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While loading the script.

script.rpy is mine if I'm not mistaken but it is only a line of code loading and image to a variable...

Code: Select all

Nothing special although I initially load all images and music about 80mb worth... Is that stretching it? or unreasonable?

I'm wondering what strategy to take with debugging android distributions of my game or whether to dump it since I can't debug it personally haha.

Has the experience for others with rapt been difficult or relatively problem free?

[PyTom]

For testing purposes, put the obb in the root of the SD card (/mnt/sdcard).

Android places obbs in weird locations on multi-user systems. The /mnt/sdcard location lets Ren'Py ignore that and just load the obb for testing purposes. (If you want more realistic testing, you have to go through the play store.)

uhh I successfully built a 4.0 test program and had it installed in my friend's xperia with android 4.1
...
it ran but there was this "font not found error". any fix for this, without rooting the phone?
...
and oh, I tried resorting to using no custom fonts at all... and then poof, it doesn't even install.
