[Faytless]

Please read the description of the application

Update 10/25/2015 12:15AM


You can now download the tech demo by looking up my name on the google play

Update 10/24/2015 8:19AM


My Pilimary tests with CocoonJS have failed.  Even when using a bare bones project -- CocoonJS has compilation errors.  I requested for a premium account so I can test a project larger then 30mb, but I'm going to head to bed and investigate XDK tmw ( and possibly the Python method as well)


Update 10/24/2015 3:20AM


We are continueing to learn more and more about intel XDK and how it plays with RPG maker.  if your app doesn't run well now, don't worry! we're working on ways to enhance the experiance!


 This is a fairly easy way to convert your application to android.  I found that the KB in the program is a bit too complex and might scare off some of the newer people here.  This is an old method we used to use with construct that seems to work pretty well.


Video Below!

5.  Keep that window open, and now find your exported file.
6. Transfer the contents of www into the www folder that intel XDK made for you
7. Emulate to test
8. Go Build, and select your platform you are building for.
9.  let this work, it will take a while then click Build App!

Good job friend. I bet this will serve a lot of people well.

Nice!


Would this allow you to do an iOS build/deployment without needing a Mac? Or an Android build if you WERE on a Mac?

 

[Faytless]

Yes,  you can build to iOS,  XDK allows you to export to multiple platform -- even W8.  You don't need to be on a Mac/Windows -- as long as you can actually run XDK.  I need to point out though,  This isn't as 1-2-3 as it really seems.  Optimizations are a pain,  which I'm in the process of writing up something as we speak. 

I didn't notice you were a mod   If you see my other thread,  can you delete it?   Its a duplicate.  I thought it this one wasn't going to be approved ( forgot to tag it)

 

[Shaz]

I just saw your other thread and was coming to search for this one, thinking they were the same

 

[Faytless]

Thanks    One last thing I'd like to add though.  I've had maybe 2 hours tops to figure this out, test, and break -- Soo as I am making more complex projects I'm not 100% sure how this encapsulation method will effect overall performance or convertibility.

 

[Shaz]

We will forgive you if you have to alter some of your instructions

 

[Faytless]

I've updated this topic -- I'm going to make a video on how to do it the RPG maker Knowledge base and hopefully get something together to streamline the whole process.  I hope this sheds light for some people!

 

[Woratana]

This is awesome ! o_o

Have you tried canvas accelerator like CocoonJS ? I am curious if it helps the performance

 

[Faytless]

Not with RPG maker, But I've had really awesome luck with CocconJS in the past with other programs. 

I was thinking of making a video on how to convert it via RMMV's Knowledge base entry,  but I think you gave me a better idea ^^

The demo was terrible at first. LOL

Text message was loading slowly but became fast afterwards. Side view battle was horrible. The graphics were cut off.

I guess we developers need to optimize the gameplay and resources for the devices at the first stage of development.

By the way, i'm using asus zenfone 7.

 

[Faytless]

Yes,  This was really to show it was possible -  I destroyed the resolution -- I am uploading a higher res one in a little bit that won't make it run a little better, but will fix some of the aspect ratio. You can follow the Link under "non optimized" if you want to see if it fixes some of the display issues.  Its not going to help performance,  but you can see it in a little more norm resolution

@ Faytless,

So I have followed the steps in your guide and am using Intel XDK version 2611. In the test tab the application runs correctly. Once the project is uploading it seems to crash out every time and nothing gets accomplished. I can grab the error logs if requested. I have the project working on a google drive no problem using html5. Can you think of any reasoning the uploading would fail?

 

[Kane Hart]

Tried your new demo for performance idk it does not feel much better for me on the nexus 4. I will recommend though you enable Graphics.showFps () via script on map startup. This way people can see if their in canvas mode or webgl but also see their fps for better testing.

Can you upload your project in a neat little zip file for me to test and convert?

I really should,  This was an early adaption before our interactions on steam

Thank you for testing this!  I will have a tutorial and hopefully a a bundled library for us to use in the a bit.  Please standby.

Sorry its taking too long to do things  ;/  We're prepping for tax season @ work -- its a PAIN
