New Alpha Builds for JoiPlay and Plugins

Hi everyone! I hope you're all safe and sound. This update focuses on HTML/JavaScript based games, adds some extra features for adult games and fixes some issues. There are also some minor improvements.

JoiPlay now supports external CommonJS modules. CommonJS modules can be imported using module name or a relative path to a script. Also importing JSON files are supported like similar to Node.js. This will fix some games that use modules. Unfortunately this implementation doesn't work with some modules and causes errors on some games so it's disabled by default. Users can enable it via "Allow External Modules" option in HTML Settings.

Compatibility List wasn't implemented properly and was abandoned because some issues. With this version, Compatibility List is written from zero with better UI and a rating system similar to Google Play. All game data is retrieved from F95zone so there are only adult games at the moment but other games will be added slowly.

Other changes can be found in the changelogs below.

JoiPlay 1.01.701 and Ren'Py Plugin 1.01.21

Hi everyone! New stable builds are out. With this update, JoiPlay gets a new theme engine and Pokemon Essentials v19 support. Also, Ren'Py Plugin is updated with Ren'Py 7.4.8.

Pokemon Essentials v19 support isn't tested enough to say it's stable so there might be some bugs but they will be fixed with time.

Ren'Py Plugin should work better with this build but incompatibility issues might happen on some devices. Unfortunately, there isn't much to do except disabling/enabling the newly added "Use Legacy Version" option.

Major changes are listed in the changelog below:

Changelog:

  JoiPlay

• A new theme engine is implemented which adds several options and over 7 million combinations.
• Screen Reader is optimized for size and speed. It's a lot smaller and faster now.
• Added support for mkxp-z based games with Ruby 3.
• zero? method is added to TrueClass and FalseClass for RPG Maker games.
• VSYNC and Smooth Scaling are disabled by default to improve performance.
• A filesystem bug is fixed which was causing games to use wrong assets.
• A bug is fixed which was causing transparent player sprites on Pokemon Empyrean.
• Ruffle and other third-party dependencies are updated.

  Ren'Py

• Ren'Py is updated to 7.4.8.
• The dynamic feature module for Ren'Py is disabled by default now. Users can enable it by enabling "Use Legacy Version" option.
• Missing resources are added.
• GL2 is disabled to prevent performance issues.
• Screen Reader and other dependencies are updated.

This update will be available on Google Play in a few hours and it will be probably the last one without scoped storage enforcement on devices with Android 11 and upper. You will be able to download builds without scoped storage enforcement here.

Introducing RPGPacker

Hi guys! I've been working on this project for a while and it's ready for beta testing now.

RPGPacker is a tool that aims to make it easy to port RPG Maker XP, VX, and VX Ace games to Android. It's pretty easy to use and requires zero or very little knowledge about Android app development.

RPGPacker usually doesn't require any modifications to game scripts and most games should work without any problems. It uses mkxp libraries from stable versions of JoiPlay so you can use the $MKXP global variable to detect android build and make changes only for it if it's needed. Pokemon Essentials games aren't supported at the moment but developers can include extra scripts to fix compatibility issues.

You can read the readme file on https://joiplay.cyou/rpgpacker if you need more information. Also please check system requirements before installation.

RPGPacker is still in beta so there might be some bugs. If you bump into a bug, please send an e-mail to support@joiplay.cyou or send a message.

JoiPlay 1.01.430 and Ren'Py Plugin 1.00.70

Hi everyone! This update is mostly focused on Ren'Py support and fixes some bugs. Three new options are added for Ren'Py games; VSYNC, Use Less Memory and Less Updates. These options can be used to gain minimal improvements on battery usage and performance.

There was a bug which causes JoiPlay and Ren'Py Plugin to use same save folder for all Ren'Py games when games are in sdcard. This update fixes the bug but there is a drawback; you won't see old save files for these games. So please backup your saves from Android/data/cyou.joiplay.joiplay/null folder before updating.

Changelog:

    JoiPlay 1.01.430:

• "Create Shortcut" option is added to the game menu.
• "VSYNC", "Use Less Memory" and "Less Updates" options are added for Ren'Py games.
• A common bug, which causes crashes on RPG Maker VX Ace games, is fixed.
• Virtual keyboard layout issues are fixed.
• A few common RPG Maker MV plugin bugs are fixed.
• Ruffle is updated to latest nightly self-hosted build.
• Third party libraries are updated.

    Ren'Py Plugin 1.00.70:

• A bug that causes all Ren'Py games to create save files in the same folder is fixed. This bug-fix will make old saves unusable.
• "config.basedir" and "config.gamedir" properties are has correct paths now.

New builds will be available on Google Play in a few hours. Users who can't access Google Play can use the links below to download universal builds.

JoiPlay 1.01.400 and Ren'Py Plugin 1.00.40 is out!

Hi everyone!  I've been releasing new builds on open beta channel on Google Play since the latest stable build but couldn't release a stable build because of some issues. After two months, I think new builds are pretty stable so I'm publishing them now.

JoiPlay now uses dynamic feature modules instead of separate plugin apps with a single exception. Ren'Py Plugin is still there because JoiPlay uses two different Ren'Py versions to support more games now. JoiPlay comes with a dynamic feature module which uses Ren'Py 7.3.5 and it's used for games built with Ren'Py version 7.3.5 and below. On the other hand, Ren'Py Plugin comes with Ren'Py 7.4.4 and used for games built with 7.4.4.

Another major change is "Use Scoped Storage" option. As some of you know, Android 11 came with big changes and it severally limits usage of File API.  When "Use Scoped Storage" option is enabled, JoiPlay uses scoped storage to copy game files to it's own folders. This increases disk usage and has some disadvantages but it's the easiest option to support new devices and keep JoiPlay on Google Play. After August, JoiPlay will come with this option force-enabled for Android 11 and up when it's installed from Google Play. I will post a separate build here with lower target api version for who doesn't want to use scoped storage.

This update mostly brings new features and a lot of bug fixes and improvements. Most visible changes are listed below.

Changelog:
   JoiPlay 1.00.44 - 1.01.400:

• You can change the settings of each game separately now.    
• "Import RTP" option is added. This option can be used to import runtime packages for RPG Maker games. Runtime packages must be extracted before importing them.
•  "Clear Runtime Packages" button is added to settings. It can be used to delete RTPs from app data.
• "Lock Screen" option is added. When it's enabled, JoiPlay will ask for a password on start.
• NW.js compatibility scripts are rewritten to improve compatibility and performance.
• Copy Text feature is replaced with Tesseract OCR based Screen Reader. It can be used with all game types but accuracy is a bit low.
• Various bug fixes and improvements are made on the virtual gamepad. Also, the virtual gamepad's buttons show a tilt animation when a corresponding button is pushed on external controllers.
• Some rendering issues related to wrong pathfinding on RPG Maker games are fixed.
• Some improvements are made for file access without path cache.
• A lot of minor bugs are fixed and third-party libraries are updated.

    Ren'Py Plugin 1.00.19 - 1.00.40:

• Some internal changes are made to support the latest version of JoiPlay.
• Native libraries and assets from Ren'Py are updated.
• Virtual gamepad is updated.
• Several exceptions are fixed.

Update should be downloadable on Google Play in a few hours and you can download universal apk files from the links below if you don't have access to Google Play. 

JoiPlay 1.01.400
Ren'Py Plugin 1.00.40 

JoiPlayer 1.00.40 and RPG Maker Plugin 1.01.40 are out!

Hi guys! It's been a long time since my last post. I've been pushing updates to the beta channel constantly to fix issues and improve stability. This update brings all bug fixes and improvements from the beta channel. You can see the changelog at bottom of the post.

Android 11 came with new storage limitations which cause new issues. File API on Android 11 and later is rewritten into a wrapper and some operations are a lot slower now. This makes generation of path cache extremely slow and causes ANR (Application Not Responding) errors sometimes. This update brings "Prebuilt Path Cache" option and case-insensitive file access support without path cache to make things a bit better. I suggest disabling "Path Cache" and enabling "Prebuilt Path Cache" in RPG Settings on Android 11 devices to solve ANR errors and make file access faster. These settings can be used on other Android versions too, but there might be unexpected side effects like missing or corrupted bitmaps.

App updates on Google Play will be required to target API level 30 (Android 11) in November so there will be some major changes. I'm not sure about what to do at this moment but I can say that some functions will be limited to older versions of Android or will be removed completely. Probably I will post apk files with lower target sdk versions here until everything is done.

Changelog:

JoiPlay 1.00.40 :

- Theme settings are fixed.

- Buffer.from method is added to NWJSAPI.

- Path cache is disabled by default for Android 11 devices.

- A few minor layout changes are made.

- Some improvements are made for RPG Maker MV games.

- Standalone version of Ruffle is added as an experimental way to play swf files.

RPG Maker Plugin 1.01.40 :

- A small change is made to prevent running postload scripts more than once.

- MKXP::run_postload method is added to run postload scripts from game.

- Case-insensitive file access without path cache is now supported.

- Prebuilt path cache is modified to allow online cache generation and it can be used without enabling path cache now.

- Unsupported bitmap operations cause transparent/black boxes instead of throwing exceptions now.

- A lot of bug fixes and overrides are added to fix game bugs.

- Some changes are made to fix crashes and improve stability.
 

JoiPlay Translator 1.00.11

Hi guys! I'm a lot busier these days so I couldn't post new version earlier. This build uses text recognizing libraries from Google and Huawei instead of Tesseract OCR. Text recognizing for latin scripts is a lot faster now thanks to ML Kit from Google but accuracy is a bit lower. Huawei ML Kit is used for Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages and accuracy and speed seem okay.

Settings are removed because they were related to Tesseract OCR.
