Smartphone port problem [FIXED]

[Chai]

Good morning Makslane and everyone:

The problem is

I try to port my game to smartphone by using the GE smartphone port.

In Config -> Game properties:
I set the port as "240*320 smartphone" Hight 240/Width 320 , most windows mobile smartphone has this size for a screen.
The out-come is The screen is set as the verticle size as Hight 320/Width 240 which is not right.
When install my program to a smartphone ,
it will pop up a message "This game requires a screen resolution (240*320).

Therefore,
In Config -> Game properties:
I set the port as " 320*240". , click O.K.
The out come is Hight 240/Width 320.
Then, click on Config--> Game properties again.
you will find that it will be automatically changed to " 320*240 Rot. Left".
It cannot fit the screen because of the left rotation.

In fact, the smartphone requires " 320*240" screen solution without Rotated.

Could you please help me to check ?
1. Is it possible to set a screen 320*240 without rotation?
Because the one in GE is always, automatically tranfer to " 320*240 Rot.Left"

2, "240*320 smartphone" Hight 240/Width 320.
Right now, the screen will show as Height320/Width240 in real.

Best regards,
Chai


My smart phone is Dopod CW720.

Dont select Smartphone... Well, do select it, but at the top right corner you'll see 2 textinputs. Put 320x240 or what ever the size is. It'll automaticly set. Anyway yeah...

first box is width
second box is height

For example
----Game options----
-[240x320]__[320]_[240]
------------------------


I know its confusing.. here.


The original is 240 x 320..
Change it to this

Good afternoon Hblade and everyone;

Thank you for your advice. Unluckily, I still face with the same problem
as below pictures.

[Hblade]

Wha... O.o I wonder why it did that... anyway I wouldn't worry about it it should still work right? I mean it IS the same res.

maybe have u tried turning the 240 and 320 backs wards
instead of [320][240] make it [240] [320] and see if it will rotate that making it normal?? it sounds confusing doesnt it.

Dear Hblade:
I put more photo about the automatic rotation problem for your reference.
Dear Scorpion50o1 :
Thank you for your suggestion. I try and it is as the below photo.
I am still arppreciated for your advice anyway.

I think can be solved only by changing the code in the file:
http://code.game-editor.com/browser/tru ... ketHAL.cpp

In the halCreate function there is a test for some 320x240 devices:

Code: Select all

if (!_wcsicmp(szOEM, _T("MotoQ")) || !_wcsicmp(szOEM, _T("Gizmondo"))
                   || (sysScreenW == 320 && sysScreenH == 240) //Solve the BlackJack II screen problem (http://game-editor.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=33788)
                   )

The system is reporting a physical resolution other than the 320x240.
Please, tell me the follow engine works for you:

Dear Makslane:

Firstly, I don't have so much knowledge in C or C#. So, I have no idea how to change a code in pockethal.cpp".

So, what I try is
Copy " pocketpc.bin" to Gameeditor\bin folder

Also, I try
Change file name " pocketpc.bin" --> " windows.bin"

Both things does not work for me. The GE still forces me to have 320*240 rotated left only.
Actually, it should have the option 320*240 without rotation
and 320*240 rotated left.

Do you have another suggestion? Thank you so much in this matter.

[makslane]

This is the Windows Mobile/Pocket PC engine (the windows.bin is for Windows desktop).
Please, try again with the file in this post, replacing the bin/pocketpc.bin file, and with the last file (Export both with 320x240 resolution.) and tell me if you can see any differences.

Try the options:
320x240
320x240 GP2X
320x240 Pocket PC Rotate Left
320x240 Pocket PC Rotate Right

You you can, post the screen with each option for both engines (if have differences)

[Chai]

After I replace " Pocketpc.bin" into Gameeditor/bin .

I try to choose to following options.

the options:
Opttion 1 #.320x240 ---> forced me to be 320*240 Rotate Left
Opttion 2 #.320x240 GP2X ---> forced me to be 320*240 Rotate Left
Opttion 3 #.320x240 Pocket PC Rotate Left ---> forced me to be 320*240 Rotate Left

I notice that , in the 2nd time, when you click on config game solution, it will be " 320*240 Rot.Left"
The first 3 options have the same result.



Option 4th: 320x240 Pocket PC Rotate Right
This option still cannot be use because it sill flip to another way.


Could you please check for the option1, Is it possible to not forced me to rotate left?

[makslane]

I will need to check the code and see what is wrong.

[makslane]

Please, test this engine (replace your bin/pocketpc.bin) and export your game.
Before execute, put in the root of your device a blank file with the name "deviceinfo.txt"
Run the game, and post the contents of the file.

[Chai]

It works.
I will post a picture tomorrow.

Thank you for your support.

[makslane]

Great

[Chai]

It is working

Here the image and it work on SmartPhone also

very happy for smartphone

But I think we still have some bug for this 'pocketpc.bin' File because

after I replaced 'pocketpc.bin' file I can export for smart phone
and I can export for Pocket pc also

but

some function when export to pocket pc did rotate follow the screen
you can see image below

this image show you the real position of touch menu area on pocket pc screen[on the left]

I use Actor as Filled Region as touch visible menu
here is the way I use


and I tested with other pocket pc and they also have a same problem

in my oppinion it happend only mouse key down event "left"
because all the click button' position is changed like not rotate follow the screen

thanks

p.s. I think Pocket HAL is slower too but maybe I think by myself
