[TouchMod] Touchpad like control-scheme

[EowynCarter]

Finally : I haven't been able to load Lands of Lore ! I installed the Kyra engine pack that was in the archive, but when I select the directory of the game I get a "No game found". I tried every single directory, without success.
I know that the port of the engine isn't finished, But I managed to at least launch the game with another build of Scumm for the Android.

Oh, scumm vm is land of lore compatible now. Fancy

To be back on topic, there is definitly some need about alternative controls. My archos 5 should be able to do the job better than my tattoo, but the mess that is controling without the hardwares buttons kind of kills it.
And the new version shrinks to the lower end of the screen

I thought the peculiar mouse-movement controls were a bug, but after having spent a few hours on getting this to run in eclipse to debug it, I figured out that it was actually the desired touchpad feature

Well, at least as a side-effect I did get the code to compile in eclipse. The java-code, that is. I simply include libscummvm.so precompiled, so that it can be droppped in and replaced whenever a new version of it is availabe. Should you be interested in that, let me know

Hi!

I'm unable to load Touche. Every time I try I get a "No game found". I've tried all your new compiled plugins as well as the oficial ones.

[BatteMan]

I've compiled the scummvm.apk and (most) engine plugins

Hi das_weezul !

First of all, I want to say thank you for your work, it's a really good alternative control mode.

I'm a fan of Delphine Software's games and I want to know if you plan to compile the Cine and Cruise engines. You'll make a happy man

Thank you again and keep it up the good work !

Hi guys!

I just wanted to proof that I'm not dead, though I'm feeling I have no life right now as exams and work keep on piling up fast I will definately come back to the TouchMod as soon as find time. In the meantime, have fun and keep on submitting your suggestions and thanks for all your feedback!

hey i've got a coby kyros 7015 tablet. the current 1.2.1 build works for me but I don't have enough hardware buttons to utilize right clicking so most games are useless to me. I tried using this touchmod build but when the scummvm loading bar completes it closes back onto my home screen every time i run the app

[sblaise84]

oh, while browsing the forums i came upon this:

http://anddev.at.ua/load/scummvm_svn54429/1-1-0-7

works great on my tablet it has amazing functionality check it out!

First of all: this is a great mod!

But I have a problem similar to Alex. My device is a samsung galaxy, too.

But, i have small problem too,with my galaxy i cant confirm the dialogues in Lure of tempress, dunno why.

I can run broken sword 2 (some had problems with mpeg? I have ogg, by the way). But when I trying to LOAD or SAVE the game, or trying to change ingame options (not ScummVM option, broken sword 2 options), I NOT abled to click anymore. I can move the cursor, but tab in center or tab bottom left does not work in these menues.

greetings

Edit:
@Alex: You could try http://anddev.at.ua/load/1-6-0-7 , there is also a touchpad feature. I've tried it and I can use touchpad feature even in menues, right click is available, too. I've chosen volume-down-key for right click.

@sblaise84: Good link you found there!

Great mod - pointing out things on the screen is far more convenient in this mod than in original android scummvm.

Unfortunately I have a problem in Full Throttle on my Xperia X8 (no multitouch). When I hold down the left-mouse to bring the use/talk/kick menu I do not know how to choose any of these 3 options :/ as I cannot move cursor with my second finger and there is no option to continue hold-down left-mouse further and move the cursor around to select, finger-up and click selected option.

In standard scumm when I longer-pressed left-click the use/talk/kick menu stayed visible after finger up and I could select an option.

Or am I wrong and current version is usable without multitouch in Full Throttle?

[dhewg]

this is indeed a nice control mechanism. i recently overhauled the input system, see here. that allows drag&drop next to a touchpad style mode. wanna try?

Such a cool mod, you are great dude!

First off, thanks for the great build.

Just thought I'd submit my feedback for the sake of furthering the cause. I installed the latest version on my rooted Nook Color. Everything seems to load fine (took me a sec to realize the "n" button was escape) but I can't seem to get anything but a left click to work. Nothing when clicking the corners and nothing when I hold down my finger. I usually have to double click really just to get it to Left click once.

Just FYI, thanks for the build!
