AGS engine iOS port

JanetC · Sun 02/02/2014 03:15:32

I've noticed that games forked from my version are reporting to my Crashlytics account. Could you turn off that feature or redirect it to your own Crashlytics account please?

To do this, search the code for Crashlytics and remove those things, remove the Crashlytics framework, and also remove from the "Run Script" phase.

Can someone please help me run this?

I've created "/var/mobile/documents/ags/game" and changed all the permissions to all.
I've placed a copy of The Blackwell Legacy in a directory called blackwell1 inside the game folder.
This folder also all the permissions.
I've renamed the exe to ac2game.dat

Then, I run AGS and I get this error:
You must create and save a game first in the AGS editor before you can use this engine.

If you have just downloaded AGS, you are probably running the wrong exe.
Run AGSeditor.exe to run the editor.

(Unable to find the game data file in any of the known locations)

I've been having issues building the iOS engine for a device with the latest code from github. It seems that some things have changed in OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) where the build shell scripts are no longer building unless some modifications are made (the paths have changed).

Has anyone else run into this issue? Are there a workaround steps I could follow?

Hi everyone!

I have installed AGS in iPhone. I created the file "ios.cfg" and placed it into "/var/mobile/Documents/ags/" with the configuration shown in

http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=46040.20#msg619959

with the setting "mouse_method = 1" for relative mouse movement but doesn't work

. File has read execution and write permissions for the group and user mobile.

Rotation setting is 0 but i can rotate the screen. Seems like ags is not reading the configuration file

Can anyone help, please?

Thank you in advance!

I realized that the "ios.cfg" file must placed it into "/var/mobile/Documents/ags/game/" and not into "/var/mobile/Documents/ags/". At least this works for me, because rotation setting works inside this path.

When i set "mouse_method = 1" for relative mouse movement, the cursor doesn't move, while setting "mouse_method = 0" works but isn't relative movement.

My iOS version is 7.1.2

Please Help!!

Any chance this will ever be updated? I get a loading screen when I try to play newer games on this (Quest for infamy, heroine's quest ect..) that engines are most likely not supported.

Crimson Wizard · Thu 13/11/2014 08:43:21

Someone needs to build a new version of the engine (3.3.2 at least). Is there anyone who managed to do this besides JJS? JJS does not appear on forums often lately.

Regarding Heroine Quest in particular, it uses steam plugin, which wont be working on iOS, so we need either make built in plugin stubs, or automatic stub generator feature (which I plan to work on in nearby future).

HappehLemons · Thu 13/11/2014 09:02:02

Sorry I should've mentioned this originally. I'm actually using a version of the game (for heroines quest at least) that doesn't use the steam plugin. version 1.0 and 1.1 don't use the steam plugin, and both those versions are working on android in my testing.

Of course someone needs to provide a new build of this, but I just wanted to point out that the Steam plugin has an open-source stub (which also needs to be built for iOS, but it can be built). I've never built anything for iOS or even really used Mac OS, but I have a virtual box running OS X Yosemite with XCode installed. I've been meaning to take a look at it (among all the other things on my plate).

Crimson Wizard · Thu 13/11/2014 14:51:13

I might be confusing with Android actually, I recall either iOS or Android simply does not let to add additional binaries aside the base program installation. But this info may be outdated.

monkey0506 · Thu 13/11/2014 14:55:17

Actually, yes. I've heard that before. Sorry!

iOS doesn't allow any external assemblies, so the stub would have to be built into the iOS port of the engine to be able to load properly.

i've got a working build of AGS 3.3.0 using patches written by JanetC and JJS if anyone needs it. not sure if people are looking for the ipa or the xcode project though. let me know.

HappehLemons · Fri 21/11/2014 18:42:45

It would be great if you could post it, I'd love to start using gas again on my iPad.

vga256 · Fri 21/11/2014 20:58:54

which do you need - the xcode project or a pre-compiled IPA?

HappehLemons · Fri 21/11/2014 23:40:35

Compiled IPA is what I was hoping for, thanks!

portdr Can you send me the Compiled IPA too please?

Thank you in advance!

Would not that be easier to just upload these to some file hosting service and share a link?

vga256 · Tue 09/12/2014 17:15:44

Sorry for the delay everyone. I realized that I need to make some changes to the port to make it useful for general use.

tsode · Fri 12/12/2014 19:38:20

Don't worry about it

Please Keep Us Updated
