Ren'Py and RAPT 6.16 Released

[PyTom]

I've released 6.16.3.502, and the corresponding RAPT.

This release fixes a problem that could cause Ren'Py to use excessive amounts of texture memory.

It also adds several features that, together, make it possible to get Ren'Py games into the tablet section of Google Play:

* You can choose the target SDK. While Ren'Py will still run on Android 2.2 and up, increasing the target sdk version will let you choose how the action overflow (menu button) is handled. If you target Honeycomb or higher, you'll have to modify your game so the user can get access to the game menu.
* You can include icons at specific screen densities. For example, android-xhdpi-icon.png is used for high-density displays.

I've downloaded the 32-bit version of JDK and the Ren'Py launcher still does not detect it. Is anybody else having the same problem?

Edit: NM. I hadn't unpacked RAPT into the Ren'Py directory (although the reason was I was stuck on trying to get the launcher to detect the JDK). Once I unpacked RAPT, it was fine.

Having a similar problem with RAPT. After installing the 32-bit JDK, the launcher does not detect it; if I ignore that and unzip RAPT anyway, the launcher changes to telling me that I need to download RAPT and install it.

Ren'Py now looks for Java in the registry, by looking for the key SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\CurrentVersion, and then looking for SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\<version number>. Does that exist on your system?

After installing the 32-bit JDK, I checked and saw that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\1.7\JavaHome was pointing to the 64-bit version. Unfortunately, manually changing this value to point to the 32-bit version didn't change anything. After that, I uninstalled both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions and reinstalled only the 32-bit version, but now there is no 'Java Development Kit' key at all, as though the installer simply didn't create it.

For the record, I'm installing from 'jdk-7u45-windows-i586.exe', and the resulting installation does have working versions of javac and all the other programs one would expect a JDK to have. I even put the JDK bin directory in my system path, but that doesn't seem to have had any effect.

Are you sure you're looking at the 32-bit part of the registry (Wow6432Node) and not the 64-bit one?

Are you sure you're looking at the 32-bit part of the registry (Wow6432Node) and not the 64-bit one?

Whoops, I wasn't. The key there does point to the 32-bit version (which is in 'Program Files (x86)', has OS_ARCH="i586" in its release file, and throws an error on 'java -d64', so it is definitely the 32-bit version).

The problem still remains, though, that a freshly unpacked Ren'Py doesn't seem to detect it ("A 32-bit Java Development Kit is required to build Android packages on Windows."), and that unpacking RAPT into this changes the error message to "To build Android packages, please download RAPT", etc. (To be clear, since the documentation isn't 100% explicit, I am unpacking RAPT such that android.py ends up in the same directory as renpy.py and renpy.exe; the other possibility allowed for by the documentation's wording, putting the entire 'rapt-6.13.11.0' folder into the directory with renpy.py, results in a crash right off the bat so I assume that's the wrong way to go.)

Edit: Whoops -- further investigation reveals that my assumption about how to unpack RAPT was wrong. Below is the error I get when I run the launcher with RAPT unpacked properly:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While executing init code:
  File "launcher/game/android.rpy", line 4, in script
  File "launcher/game/android.rpy", line 70, in python
ImportError: No module named rapt

Edit 2: Took me long enough to read the thread title: after actually reading the download page and switching to RAPT 6.16 instead of 6.13 everything appears to be working smoothly now. Oops.

Not to imply that this wasn't a dumb mistake on my part, but if the older versions are so incompatible that they break the launcher altogether, it might be worthwhile to put them in the 'old' folder along with the pre-RAPT stuff to forestall any similar problems.

I too have been getting "TypeError: Environment can only contain strings." error as of late cant seem to find the cause, something tells me there's a conflict with the text editor and latest SDK but what would be an odd thing to happen.


I as such as when the java SDK is not instilled both jEdit and Editra load fine but with it on, not only it still cant install the android SDK (although it dose find Javas thus RAPT seems to be working for the most part) all editors don't launch right, with jEdit saying it cant find test.java and Editra not launching at all with the TypeError showing its ugly head. as all ways thanks in advice and sorry if i posted in the wrong place.

I've released Ren'Py 6.16.4.524, and the corresponding RAPT.

This release includes fixes for Android building, including a problem that prevented Android games produced with 6.16.3 from working at all. It also fixes problems like the "TypeError: Environment can only contain strings.", one where Replay didn't evaluate its locked parameter properly, and some problems with the savegame scanning APIs.

It also includes a number of documentation improvements.

After I updated 6.16.14, I can't set jEdit as a default editor from laucher.

This is fixed in 6.16.5.525, which is now available.

Sorry about that - I deleted Ren'Py by mistake, and the jEdit.edit.py wasn't restored properly.

Hi,
Thank you for updated 6.16 version....it works perfectly
Anyway, does "letting players choose their own name" script works for the android?

sorry for my bad English

[PyTom]

No, sorry - the android keyboard doesn't work yet.

Hi, when I'm trying to launch Android Builder I get an error message like this.
I have no knowledge on Android whatsoever so any helpful feedback would be appreciated.
This is happened after I tried to install SDK and create keys.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Try deleting apache-ant and trying again.

Okay, so I tried manually install .apk file into Android but it won't work. It just stuck like this...and then force to close after several seconds. I tried to build new .apk from my other visual novel script, still no luck. Anyone can help?

[randomnone]

hello again still having problems with the java SDK, just a hunch but could it be that ren'py has a hard time the SDK if one were to have both 32 and 64 bit versions? i mean it gives me the standard flavor text saying if i didn't install it to do but when i try open something like say bluej or greenfoot it can find both versions no problem. if so is there a workaround as i need both 32 64 bit SDK's. as always thanks for any help given.
