Android and DragonBones

[Kenvarus]

Hey so pretty new to everything and I figured id mess with testing my project on my phone (it works perfectly on PC) and i wanted to see how it winds up working on android.

so I followed this guide and when i ran the APK on my phone I get the message "Error Uncaught ReferenceError: dragonbones is not defined" now i feal like if the addon was incompatable with android completely it would have been noted on the website so im guessing i did something wrong but i dont know

is there some general problems with addons and android i should be aware of or is this an i did something wrong issue?
i will admit to a total lack of knowledge as to what i am doing both with RPG maker MV and with Android SDK but I have plenty of general troubleshooting experience so any ideas or suggestions i should be able to follow without issue or the need for small words

mods im currently using in current order
YEP_CoreEngine
KeyboardConfig
YEP_BattleEngineCore
YEP_X_ActSeqPack1
YEP_X_ActSeqPack2
YEP_X_ActSeqPack2
YEP_RegionBattlebacks
YEP_MoveRouteCore
YEP_SkillCore
YEP_X_AnimatedSVEnemies
KELYEP_DragonBones
SRD_PictureChoices

apologize in advanced if posting in wrong thread, just as new to this forum as I am to RPG Maker MV

The plugin order looks wrong, please check yanflys Website for his plugin order.
Please post a Screenshot of your plugin manager after correcting the order, because writing down the names is not enough information.
Please open your projects rpg_core.js file with a Text editor and tell us the version number in its title line.

rpg_core.js v1.5.2

i adjusted my order per the website

also i notices that two of the dragonbones js files are kept in a libs/dragonbones folder
is it possible that that would cause problems when converted to android?

oh and thank you Kes, ill try to place it correctly next time

Dragonbones includes an extra library, like you saw, so it also has to be referenced in the index.html file in order to load that library for test playing. Doing it for Android would be slightly different, so I don't know for sure what exactly is happening, but error message means the library isn't getting loaded somehow.

The tutorial you referenced might not include how to include extra libraries, so you may have to examine the files and try to figure out how to include it. As an example, you could try to figure out how the PIXI library gets loaded and do the same thing for Dragonbones.

Thats what i was thinking... unfortunately it is also... well above my pay grade,
i mean i think thats the only thing wrong, because the game itself does load ( as in the error is not an android error but a game error like you see when testing the game on pc,
yellow error, white description on black... so it should just be a matter of making it so it can find the dragonbones folder... does anyone know how to do this? because my experience with this stuff is extremely limited. only game design or script/code editing ive ever done was on Roblox as a kid and some Skyrim/Oblivion modding which doesn't really count

Edit: well... i edited a couple things in the files and rebuilt the app... and now it doesnt run at all so... ima have to reconvert but any rate definitly need someone who knows what they are doing a bit better...

Edit 2: but yeah thats the error (rebuilt the app completely after i messed the files up, still got same error)

 

[Andar]

have you started a new game after reordering the plugins, or did you try to load a saved game?
You cannot use a saved game, you're required to start a new game after anything but small plugin changes.

the error is immediately upon loading the app, it shows the little credit in the bottom right for the MV loader sdk im using, then it goes to that screen, it does not even reach the home menu

and as per usual everything works perfectly on pc even after changing app order, just the android version that does this

 

[Andar]

then this probably needs specific knowledge from someone who knows both the dragonbone plugin and android deployment (which means I'm out), and this topic should be moved to MV deployment @Kes

 

[Kenvarus]

That's about what I figured, thank you anyway for your time.

Edit: I don't know what I'm doing, ill admit that honestly I'm not all that far into development anyway i just don't want to have this be a problem when i get closer, once i have enough done for a proper release I don't really want to be like yay its done! and then suddenly go oh crud... gotta rebuild all my bosses

Sry bout that

So, I read over the forum rules... after 72 hours (so like now) I can bump this right?

edit: I've been fighting with it on and off... haven't figured out any way to get around it outside of removing dragonbones completely... which would be unfortunate if it became my only option...

 

[Aloe Guvner]

Only thing I can think of is to make sure the dragonbones plugin and reference is included in your game files in Android Studio. Can you verify that it's in both the "libs" and the "index.html" in Android Studio? (check the screenshot for where it should be)

 

[Kenvarus]

Yeah it looks like it is referenced correctly although i am noticing a couple things have green underlines... not sure what that means

edit: So i dont know anything really about android, that said, is it posible the problem is to do with the assets for dragonsbones being under the "dragonbones" folder?

edit2:Tried changing it so that dragonsbones plugins were directly under libs, error still the same, unchanged, screenshots included

 

[Aloe Guvner]

Your file name is "dragonBones.js" yet in the HTML you wrote "DragonBones.js".

Those aren't the same.

 

[Kenvarus]

good eye man! one sec lemme see if that does it

Edit: WOW I feel extremely stupid. Thank you man, I can't believe i missed that, i was looking to that's the sad part... any rate thanks, My problem is officially solved.

side-note, default android controls for this sort of... suck dont they? tapping with two fingers to open the menu instead of say... pressing the back button, and no joystick option.... I'm gonna have to figure out how to modify that.

Off-topic but I'll just leave this here anyway since you asked:
Feel free to check out a plugin I wrote "Mobile Game User Interface" which allows you to put virtual buttons on the screen - link in my signature.
