[stoic galleon]

Might be a good idea to zip to up.

[leaden otter]

forgive me if im missing something, but is this supposed to be petal crash? not finding any petal crush on itch.io

[safe horizon]

https://galaxytrail.itch.io/petal-crash

[indigo apex]

@frigid patrol you might want to adjust your names lol

Also maybe upload a zip for the testrts

[frigid patrol]

@indigo apex Mmmmm... Can I do that for free? (Uploading Zips on Discord)

[indigo apex]

Sure

[stoic galleon]

Up to 25mb

[frigid patrol]

Petal Crash Port! Testers Needed!

[indigo apex]

and if you need testers don't forget to ping the Portnavigator Group (I've done this already now)

[frigid patrol]

@indigo apex Thank You, and also sorry. I'm going to have to change all this after work. 😅

@stoic galleon I didn't know this.

[safe horizon]

btw steam linux version works just as fine (arkos /353vs)

ok one particular issue... I dont see any way to quit the game and the usual button combo doesnt work, so I have to use the reset button

ah nvm, exit game is in options, a bit unexpected

[indigo apex]

we can always incorporate gptokeyb without a config file for that so start + select works

[safe horizon]

also fine on jelos

[frigid patrol]

This Game is kinda weird here's how you quit the game.

[safe horizon]

yeah I found that just a bit later

[indigo apex]

Please don't use oga_controls in your port. Try to switch to gptokeyb.

Then exit will also work properly

And x55 users on Jel can also use it

[frigid patrol]

Alright I'll fix it.

[reef elk]

As a soon to be X55 user, I would also appreciate it. 😅

[frigid patrol]

@safe horizon @indigo apex @reef elk I'm about to update the GitHub page for Petal Crash and post my first zip for the game. There's only one problem. The game keeps auto detecting the built-in Gamepad. This means Local Two-Player functionality won't work on Handhelds.

[frigid patrol]

@safe horizon @indigo apex @reef elk @toxic furnace @gentle harbor @terse vapor I just updated the Github page! Also Here's the Zip!

@primal ocean

[jaunty fern]

If you @ the Port Navigators, it will notify most who will test

[frigid patrol]

@Port Navigators

@jaunty fern ⬆️

[primal ocean]

Found your ultonius port, but it's not working for all of my consoles:/
Are you going to update/work on that port as well? Thank you

[frigid patrol]

@primal ocean I'm still working on that one I have a version that works on RK3566 Handhelds but it's too slow. I did get Petal Crash running if you want to try this out.

[jaunty fern]

@indigo apex do you know why that's not working?

[primal ocean]

Thanks for petal crash, will check tomorrow asap👍

[frigid patrol]

@jaunty fern the [at] or the game?

[jaunty fern]

The @

It doesn't look like it worked?

[frigid patrol]

@jaunty fern How do I [at] them? What the exact [at] I need to type in?

[jaunty fern]

Haha, it should just be <@&1123159718874058882>

Which seems to work when I do it

Does it come up as a suggestion when you type?

[frigid patrol]

No

[jaunty fern]

Ok, might be some permission issue

[frigid patrol]

Who do I talk to?

[jaunty fern]

I can check in a bit

[reef elk]

Doi you need em to test?

[frigid patrol]

@reef elk Yes

[reef elk]

Oaky.

GitHub up to date?

Or this ine here?

[reef elk]

This tyhe version you would like tested?

[frigid patrol]

@reef elk I updated the GitHub and uploaded a Zip.

[reef elk]

Downloading the 1.1 just above ith is channel.

[reef elk]

copied to my device

Do I jsut run the sh script form the dir or do i p ull out

[jaunty fern]

@frigid patrol can you see the Port Navigators tag now? I thought everyone could see it but maybe you have to be in the group so I added you

[reef elk]

Petal crash, crashed

right back into gui

@frigid patrol Petal crash booteed mme right back into ES

do i need gamefiles?

[indigo apex]

I'll check the tagging setting

[frigid patrol]

@reef elk The instructions are in the ReadMe file.

1. Add game files to the game data folder minus the bin64 folder and run.sh

2. Move the Shell Script to the ports folder.

I think this is it, but check the ReadMe file for all the instructions.

<@&1123159718874058882>

@indigo apex @jaunty fern Yep it works, thanks guys.

[indigo apex]

@frigid patrol

Feedback:

• launch.sh needs to be one folder higher than the port.

• License file needed for box86

• petalcrash.port.json via https://kloptops.github.io/harbourmaster/port.html

• A readme with instructions, reference to portmaster see existing ports from klops, bamboozler or me

• You said controller works fine without mapping? Why are you mapping it at all then?

Unfortunetaly I don't have the game to test

[frigid patrol]

@indigo apex I'm going to try a few things before packaging this one up.

[indigo apex]

Alrighty tell me when I should check it out again 🙂

[frigid patrol]

@indigo apex okay! 😁👍

[primal ocean]

unfortunately don't have game to test, sorry

[frigid patrol]

@indigo apex Can you go ahead and release this port. I may not have the Multiplayer functionality working but the Single Player content should be enough to keep players happy for now.

[autumn spade]

I hope this is able to run on the RGB30. A game like this would be AWESOME on such a small device.

[robust glacier]

Myself, I had to have certain amount of complete ports is what I was told

.. Thought it was that way for all🤔

[frigid patrol]

Petal Crash is done! https://github.com/PrideToons/My-Ports-Collection/blob/main/petalcrash.zip

@indigo apex @autumn spade @robust glacier

Tell me how it runs on the RGB30 @autumn spade

[frigid patrol]

@indigo saddle

[indigo saddle]

I have an RGB30 with JELOS. Will that suffice for a test?

[robust glacier]

<@&1216123318122577972>

[indigo saddle]

@wintry sandal, do you have bandwidth?

[wintry sandal]

Sorry, I don't have this game either

[indigo saddle]

Congrats on the port, BTW. 💪🙌

[frigid patrol]

Thank You sir!

More Ports are hopefully on the way.

[frigid patrol]

What do you think of this port @indigo apex

[indigo apex]

No idea i'm donig 50 things at once 😄

If you want it tested you have to call the Port Navigators

[frigid patrol]

I'm not able to call them. 😅

[indigo apex]

You have to say what still needs testing, see the other threads for the testing matrix

[frigid patrol]

Is this what I needed @indigo apex ?

My computer was acting funky, but yeah I think it's there now.

@indigo apex

[indigo apex]

Okay now you add the systems that got tested including yours of course

[frigid patrol]

Just changed it.

[indigo apex]

@indigo saddle did you test with RGB30?

[autumn spade]

I don't own Petal Crash yet, but I get paid tomorrow. If it hasn't been tested by then I'll get on it.

[frigid patrol]

It's okay buddy, take your time.

[terse vapor]

didn't play too long, but seems to run just fine
✅ rg351v amberelec
✅ rgb30 rocknix

[frigid patrol]

Thank You! 🙏
I'll test it on ArkOS with my RGB30.

[autumn spade]

Does the Steam verison work or should I stick with the itch.io version?

[frigid patrol]

Try it, I think it will work.

[autumn spade]

Tried running this (itch version) on my RGB30/ROCKNIX and it crashed. Here's the log.

Wait. Was I supposed to copy the bin32 folder?

Oh, I was.

😂

Runs like a dream, FYI.

[frigid patrol]

Thank You Sir! 😁

[frigid patrol]

Hey @indigo apex this Port runs on everything but the XX line of devices.

Does it need to run on the XX line of Handhelds to be eligible for a public release?

[indigo apex]

not necessarily but best to figure out why it doesn#t work

because as of now only a handful out of 500 ports won't work

and they are the new standard of devices

[frigid patrol]

Does Box86 work on the XX line of Handhelds?

Petal Crash uses box86.

[indigo apex]

Yeah

I will try to test it 🙂

[frigid patrol]

It runs on every other device just not the new XX line of Handhelds.

@indigo apex Thank You

I'll continue to look at the files.

I have a good handful of other ports done and ready for testing but I'll upload them to my GitHub page and drip feed them into the discord as Ports become approved for public release.

I'm trying to finish SJ-19 and Toziuha Night first. I just need to implement a patch for SJ-19 and rewrite Toziuha Night.

Lastly I want to rewrite Mystik Belle to meet modern Portmaster standards I just hope I don't have to deal with control issues like Daydreamer and Stories of Bethem.

That's my progress @indigo apex . ☺️

[indigo apex]

One step after another 🙂

Good job

[frigid patrol]

@indigo apex Thank You, it really does feel good hearing thank from one of you guys. ☺️

[frigid patrol]

Were you able to test it @indigo apex?

[indigo apex]

Not yet

[frigid patrol]

Okay 😥

[indigo apex]

yes it won't work because you're using a ancient file structure and libs

like pre portmaster new 2 years ago box86

undertale age

we no longer use librga

also no longer libgl files in the box86 folder

Look at super meat boy for reference for example

[frigid patrol]

Thank You Sir, I'll update the files.

[frigid patrol]

@indigo apex Here's an error report. Maybe this will help us figure out the problem.

[frigid patrol]

Yeah @indigo apex no matter what I do I can't seem to get this game running on H-700 devices. 😥

It runs perfectly on everything else but H-700 devices. I even got the Touch Screen to work.

[indigo apex]

Did you do as I told you? Redo the package?

[frigid patrol]

Yes, I replaced Box86 with a newer one and added newer libraries. I even rewrote the Shell Script after it wouldn't boot so many times. 😅

I have a new log.txt file.

[indigo apex]

I can check once I'm back home

[frigid patrol]

I'll upload the new log.txt file in a little bit too.

[frigid patrol]

When you come back @indigo apex here's my log.txt and both Shell Script files.

[frigid patrol]

Any new developments running Petal Crash on H-700 devices? @indigo apex

[frigid patrol]

Hey @indigo apex were you about to figure out why this game isn't working on H-700 devices? Maybe @pseudo saddle might be able the figure it out.

What about you @terse vapor and @gloomy umbra ? Sorry for @ing you guys.

This port works on everything but the H-700 devices for some reason.

[pseudo saddle]

what H700 devices, on what CFWs

sdl2 implementations here vary wildly

[indigo apex]

I did not test because you still need to update the scripts to our standard

As long as you don't do that it won't work on muos

[frigid patrol]

What needed to be updated again?

[frigid patrol]

RG35XX SP MuOS Refried Beans 😅

[indigo apex]

Everything

Check Guacamelee port for reference

[frigid patrol]

Okay

[zenith dragon]

looking forward to this, also won't run on anbernic rg40xxh muOS right now with latest zip from your github

[indigo apex]

You can't unless he rewrites the .sh 🙂

[zenith dragon]

so just for kicks though to see if it'd run, I tried petal crash with both Guacamelee and Super Meat Boy just to see what'd happen, but still just can't find the box86 folder

[indigo apex]

the whole structure is different aswell

it's not rocket science

take guacamelel folders

and .sh script

and rewrite them for petal crash

[zenith dragon]

ah wait yeah, I'm dumb lol

think I can work this out

closer...

[indigo apex]

feel free to share your .sh and folder structure

[zenith dragon]

Error loading needed lib libstdc++.so.6

[indigo apex]

check box86/x86 folder

[zenith dragon]

current script

[indigo apex]

did you modify the box86_ld_library path?

[zenith dragon]

I didn't

[indigo apex]

because there are typos in there

[zenith dragon]

ahhh waittt ahhh

ok whew

[indigo apex]

you hardcoded

[zenith dragon]

you're right did have a typo on that and it's close to loading but Not all OpenGL extensions supported. Quitting...
Sigfault/Segbus while quitting, exiting silently

yes, just hacking this in right now to see if it'll even work

[indigo apex]

export BOX86_LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$GAMEDIR/box86/x86":"$GAMEDIR/box86/native":"$GAMEDIR/libs/x86"

also use the gl4es from guac

in gl4es.armhf folder

share you current .sh now 🙂

[zenith dragon]

if [ "$LIBGL_FB" != "" ]; then
export SDL_VIDEO_GL_DRIVER="$GAMEDIR/gl4es.armhf/libGL.so.1"
fi

should I be forcing this? or removing it

[indigo apex]

you did not do as i asked 😛

I said use the guacamelle script fresh

don't use anything from petal

no exports or anything

export LIBGL_ES=2
export LIBGL_GL=21
export LIBGL_FB=4```

this needs to go for example

muos has their own stuff we're setting automatically

so i meant take guacamelle and just edit the names

like path to binary and such 🙂

[zenith dragon]

ok script with just original exports

however this is the log now

only thing removed is the patcher code

[indigo apex]

now copy the required libs to the correct folders

or

he did do the ignore libs

export BOX86_ALLOWMISSINGLIBS=1

[zenith dragon]

yeah

export BOX86_ALLOWMISSINGLIBS=1

lol

[zenith dragon]

nah...didn't work, so where can I find the required libs though?

[indigo apex]

post the new log 🙂

[indigo apex]

good

folder structure?

and content of libs folder

[zenith dragon]

unmodified from guac

more or less

although not great keeping the game files in root, but I will fix that later

[indigo apex]

this can also cause a crash if in the wrong folder

also try the export BOX86_FORCE_ES=31
and the
export SDL_DYNAMIC_API=libSDL2-2.0.so.0

[zenith dragon]

YOOOO

[indigo apex]

which one was it?

[zenith dragon]

errr I tried both

[indigo apex]

figure out which one 😄

[zenith dragon]

lol ok

[indigo apex]

yeah the less bloated the better

and if tis not needed why add it

[zenith dragon]

woah ok, it did require both

commenting out one or the other real quick, it wouldn't load

but having both runs

Some sprites are blurry though

[indigo apex]

good job!

[zenith dragon]

thanks so much for the help @indigo apex

those random exports...never woulda guessed that lol

[indigo apex]

You're welcome 🙂

[indigo apex]

me neither lol

box86 is a bit a beast of their own

but i know that @rugged cedar removed that BOX86_FORCE_ES=31 line to make some ports work

😄

[zenith dragon]

anyway, I need to go, may look at this a bit later, but @frigid patrol this is basically it, just download guacamelee and copy over same files to root file, later of course should rename everything, also yeah the sprite resizing is weird.

Ok so I removed GLShrink and that fixed the sprite sizes too

Hell yeah

now someone please help me get Haque to stop crashing sometime 🥹

[indigo apex]

oh yeah was specific to guac

[zenith dragon]

It’s perfect 🥹, but yeah guess we all should test

Small hitch when the music loops but that’s it

And that’s only on audio

It’s just nice T_T

Such a perfect postmaster game for this format

[rugged cedar]

I have to remove it to make it work on rocknix

[rugged cedar]

Try removing the export LIBGL_SHRINK=4, that might be the reason of these blurry sprites

We had to use this because Guacamelee won't run on 1GB device when using GL4ES

[frigid patrol]

Yeah that's the issue, it runs on everything else but the H-700 devices. I'll try rewriting the script to current Portmaster Standards.

[frigid patrol]

I got it.

[indigo apex]

he did it for you 🙂

[frigid patrol]

I just noticed, I was about to work on it today.

I still need to change the .sh file.
