VCMI for Android

International board Development
#115

When it will be released? If i update android or try older ver of vcmi can it solve the problem?

#116

No.

Wait for update for VCMI for Android.
PS AI doesn’t see whole map on start, so it buys a lot of heroes to reveal fog of war, i suggest.

#117

Now that 0.97 is out, can we expect to see it on our android devices?

#118

xyz 0.97 android still can’t use chinese version.
Is the config/modsettings.json useful?

		"truetypehan" : {
			"active" : true,
			"checksum" : "6cf9dfa1",
			"validated" : true
		}

ps:it works on PC chinese version

It seems it has stopped working now after I upgraded to Android 5.0, I can’t start a new game and I can’t load any old ones, the game just shuts down. It was working fine before the upgrade.
Is this a known issue?

#120

That’s a know bug, no ETA because I don’t have any Lollipop-compatible device.

#121

Ah, okay… If I want to help out, is the Android port of VCMI open source?

#122

Yes it is, but it’s not trivial to build. See github.com/xyzz/vcmi-build

#123

Any way to zoom, always misclick due to small screen, especially during battles. Would be immensely improved with that feature.

#124

Change device configuration -> Mouse emulation -> Mouse emulation mode -> Small, magnifying glass

#125

Thanks alot, even better is using touchpad option.
I never bothered with the options before, didnt
know they existed. Game is playable now and
runs smooth. A few bugs though like loaded up a
saved game and now any luck/morale places
return blank messages when visited and end up
doing nothing. World view spell doesnt seem to
work and when I cast haste it caused my units
turn to be skipped instead. Not a big deal, just
glad I could play this old school game on my
phone. Many thanks for the work you guys have
done! :slight_smile:

#126

How can I use cheats in the VCMI?

I know that there is a cheat list but How do activate the code function?

#127

In game press and enter cheat codes in English keyboard layout.

#128

I dont see any Tab key.

#129

Yes how can I access the tab key on Android?

#130

Is there hope for VCMI for Lollipop?

#131

When VCMI is starting, there in top part apears bar with configuration options.
Go to it, then select “Screen Keyboard” and configure it. “Ab” icon will apear in left top corner.
PS I have russian language adroid, so i only guessed english language names.
PPS Right now i cannot verify if there is tab button (my VCMI is not configured right to run on smartphone).

#132

As an updated-shield-owner, i’m sad.

How can we help you to push this in lollipop?

#133

I think you can only help if you’re have C++ programming experience.

If there any programmer who may want to understand how VCMI work then I’m might join youas I’m eventually want to find out how it’s works on Android in order to test cross-platform multiplayer.

#134

Damn, i’m only java.

But we maybe can throw here some stack to find this crash origine ?
