Android port (on hold)

gingernuke · 2013-12-24T15:44:05.000Z

Can anyone else updated/revive this project please? I can’t play cata as my pc broke and this is the only way I can play it

bobronikus · 2014-01-14T21:29:43.000Z

To play CDDA on my SGS3 Im using Linux deploy (play.google.com), install debian and compile it from source (How to compile), then connect via any ssh client.
If you have questions about installation - ask.

Anybody have any idea how to link libraries for executable to run it from android shell?

Klavain · 2014-01-16T23:13:52.000Z

Whine Phone not rooted so I cannot install Linux ect… Doh!

SpaniardSlayer · 2014-01-18T07:29:12.000Z

It’s pretty easy to root any phone, especially the Nexus line. Most of the more popular phones even have automated programs that basically do the whole process for you. Just search “How to root Phone name/model” on Google.

Anyway, what is the status of this project? I really want Cataclysm to be playable on the go.

kevin.granade · 2014-01-18T07:35:46.000Z

Status is Android dev tools are a pain to install, and worse I’m stuck on laptop/wifi for a month
I’d very happily merge it if someone gets it working though, I personally want it a lot.

Do I have to have an SD card to install it?

SpaniardSlayer · 2014-01-21T06:14:48.000Z

No, I did it on my Nexus 7, which has no SD slot.

Mikesteam1234 · 2014-01-21T10:45:01.000Z

When I try to run it on my Galaxy S4 it just opens then closes right away? Anyone one know what might cause this

SpaniardSlayer · 2014-01-22T03:55:29.000Z

Read the included instructions very carefully, you can’t just install the APK, but you also have to move the extra files to a specific folder (I forget which one). Make sure you have a file explorer installed, like ES File Explorer or something similar.

Mikesteam1234 · 2014-01-22T06:35:42.000Z

Sorry, Im an idiot who hasn’t gotten much sleep recently, so please bare with me. I don’t see any included instructions besides:

1 Install the apk
2 Copy Cataclysm-DDA folder to your internal storage, under /mnt/sdcard/
3 Check layout.png for key layout

Now I don’t have a SD card but someone said you don’t need one.

SpaniardSlayer · 2014-01-22T07:06:35.000Z

Yeah, no SD card needed, the folder is just called sdcard for some reason. Open your preferred file explorer and go to the highest level back and find the mnt folder. Inside that should be the sdcard folder. That is the place where your Cataclysm-DDA folder needs to go. Hope this helped.

BTW The folder location for me is /mnt/sdcard.

Thanks a ton, The S4 just displayed the files weird. I had to get an actual explorer to understand where to put them lol

bobronikus · 2014-01-25T00:28:33.000Z

Sdcard means internal memory.
Inserted sdcard named extSdcard.

I have a linux installed on my phone but when i try to compile Cataclysm i get an Error code 4 in Game.o file. Can you help me and be more specific how to exactly compile CDDA?

bobronikus · 2014-02-02T10:51:07.000Z

I also sometimes get errors. Wait sometime do “make clean” and “git pull” then “make -j2” again. It caused by some bad code in game.cpp and sometimes it gets fixed. I can upload already compiled version for arm.

In this zip you can find compiled cataclysm,working source files and generated world(if you don’t have enough RAM).

Thank you werry much. Do you know what is best linux distro for playing on android? I got some random artifacts on screen when connecting through ssh client and a really bad performance. What VNC app you are using to connect? I cant find any good one with a hardware keyboard suport.

I tried using this and ended up with the problems I always get in Linux (Kali in Linux Deploy in this case): constant hang or the executable dies (can’t even get a browser to open). This time I got 100% CPU usage for several minutes before I gave up. I’m using a Tegra3 tablet, so it’s not weak. I’ll continue to wait for a port. Running one bit of software in another bit of software rarely works well unless you’re trying to run something that is a good 15 years older than your hardware.

bobronikus · 2014-02-09T14:04:23.000Z

Im using debian wheezy and Vx connectBot. Artifacts may appear if you using wrong terminal emulator try to use “screen” instead of “xterm”,vt100 also look good but there only 2 colours.
