[Android] SD Card permissions.

[Lion4K]

Hi, as I believe you devs already know, theres a issue with the SD Storage access on Kit Kat or later android versions. However I'm here to present a possible solution.

I've seen some apps bypassing this, by using android's internal file picker, and some others have implemented something that makes the app asks the system for SD Card privileges, which in its turn asks the user about it.

This may provide some help. https://source.android.com/devices/storage/

Again, I'm not a developer, I have little to no knowledge on android developing, the most I know is to use ADB / Fastboot to custom rom procedures, and logcats. I'm just trying to be helpful.

Happy new year!!

Everything is just like Half-Life, except you need to pass -game cracklife to command line arguments. And also you may have "cracklife" on your " /storage/F2ED-255F/xash"

but the -game comes after or before -rodir? or it doesn't matter? because it didn't worked.

I've used exactly like this:

cmd args -dev 3 -log -rodir /storage/F2ED-255F/xash -game cracklife

Path: /storage/emulated/0/xash

It doesn't matter at all.

[Lion4K]

hm, yeah, it does not work at all.

BS Launcher doesn't work either.

Both CrackLife and BlueShift reaches main menu, but does not load any maps. you keep clicking the example "hazard course" and doesn't do anything.

In BS Launcher I used the line -dev 3 -log -rodir /storage/F2ED-255F/xash and it did load the main menu blue background. but still not loading any maps.

No log, no honey.

Re-run engine with -dev 5 -log, it will print more info to the engine.log.

[Lion4K]
