The instructions to build for android would be really appreciated. Thanks.

It would be better to port mods to work on new engine(20).

It would be better to test all existing mods on x86 windows under new engine to make it more stable.

@sergioroprado I don't understand why do you want to build your own engine specifically for Android. There is CI builds which must be fine.

Anyway, we only support building on Linux and there is scripts available used for GitHub Actions, which could be used as a guide, unless there is no actual documentation for it.

Adnan1091 commented 3 years ago

@nekonomicon Can't we test it on android though?

nekonomicon commented 3 years ago

@Adnan1091 you can test mods from this list: https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs/blob/master/Documentation/supported-mod-list.md#list-of-half-life-based-mods

Games which doesn't require custom dll works fine.I have problem with the mods that require custom dll.I can't build it cuz i don't have a PC.Are there any mods that require custom dll,has updated to make it work on new engine?

nekonomicon commented 3 years ago

@Adnan1091 if you doesn't have PC you probably do not know how this mods must work under GoldSource. Some simple mods currently will work out of the box: https://github.com/FWGS/hlsdk-xash3d/blob/mobile_hacks/dlls/moddef.h

@nekonomicon @a1batross

I would like build the android apk myself because i wanna play Blue Shift on this new engine Xash3D. Let me explain:

The BSLauncher/BS-android depends of the app Xash3D to run Blue Shift. In this case, the BSLauncher need the Xash3D app package with the name "in.celeste.xash3d.hl".

The deprecated Xash3D app used the package name "in.celeste.xash3d.hl", but this new Xash3D changed the app package to "su.xash.engine". This change made the BSLauncher unable to use the new engine Xash3D.

To make the BSLaucher work with this new Xash3D, first i tryed to buid myself a modded version of BSLauncher, but it always fail when i try to build it. Then i thought in another aproach: change back the app package of this new Xash3D to the old "in.celeste.xash3d.hl".

English isn't my main language, so i apologise if is hard to understand what i said.

You don't need BS launcher yet

a1batross commented 3 years ago

@sergioroprado there is a reason why support for old mods is dropped.

  1. We added arm64 support and due to how mod support is working, that will lead to broken mods. None of them support arm64.
  2. We dropped support for hard-float ABI on armv7 due to NDK changes.

That said, you still can play bshift on new engine. It's now packaged with "mobile_hacks" libs that dynamically detect game and enable simple hacks for them. Bshift will just work there without a change.

sergioroprado commented 3 years ago

@a1batross Can you please give me some instructions? Were i can find this "mobile_hacks"?

a1batross commented 3 years ago

You don't need to. Just download latest testing build: https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs/releases/tag/continuous

sergioroprado commented 3 years ago

@a1batross I have both Half Life and Blue Shift inside the "xash" folder. Half Life is inside "valve" subfolder and Blue Shift on "bshift" subfolder. Half Life runs fine, but Blue Shift can't be detected by the app. What could be the problem? How can i choose what game to start? Something to put on command line?

nekonomicon commented 3 years ago

@sergioroprado Just run Xash3D FWGS with -game bshift parameters.

sergioroprado commented 3 years ago

@nekonomicon Thank you.

Adnan1091 commented 3 years ago

It's off topic but when will the immersive mode bug will be fixed?Navbar doesn't go off.It will nearly be one year since i reported this bug.One more guy also reported it but it was closed since it was duplicate.

a1batross commented 3 years ago

🤷🏼

MarcoffGX commented 2 years ago

excuse me, I want to ask a question about building a xash3d machine on Android using Termux, does anyone know what to install into this apk, so I can work on building mods on my android..

Please help. 🙏

MarcoN0nt4h commented 1 year ago

@a1batross can this SDK be built via android application (Android-IDE / AIDE) ?

a1batross commented 1 year ago

@MarcoN0nt4h no.

Use PC to develop mods.
