GTA San Andreas Mobile Modding

[OrionSR]

If anyone can send me a copy of their save files for the android version of San Andreas I'd like to examine them for changes and compatibility for sharing on GTASnP.com. It doesn't matter if any progress has been made, but if anything has been completed that might throw a flag in the save file (firefighter, burglary, pimping, taxi, Katie or Barbara met, gang wars enabled) please let me know.

I don't have any saves at the moment, but i heard they're compatible between iOS and android.

Aaaaaand finally released: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rockstargames.gtasa

 

All there:

Oh goody, then maybe it's time to dust off IDA and update the memory address topic with some more properly named stuff.

Since cut scenes and vehicles don't freeze the screen on CM roms, anyone want to help port Vice City? :S

[Bobby M.]

Any difference in textures between Android and iOS version?

[_CP_]

Yep, one of the types of them are uncompressed.

It's possible, as what Alexander Blade did with the III/VC CLEO mod for Android. The mod patches the game's .so file in order for it to be able to load CLEO scripts.

 

Oh, and another quick note: shadows for dynamic objects like peds and vehicles are shadow maps rather than the stencil volumes the PC version uses. Maybe that would explain the smaller file size on the cars (as the shadow collisions would be of no use anymore), among other factors.

 

And, as what I feared, it looks like WDS has slacked off yet again with the Mali/ETC textures - I don't really mind it much, but like what happened with VC Mobile it looked Minecraft-ish with the pixelated TXDs.

i don't see any reason why WD used so bad quality prefs. PVR was compressed with normal quality and shoold took much more time than ETC with same settings. i think we can rebuild ETC based on DXT or PVR with better quality.

 

there are seems to be some new surprises from WD:

- menu.pvr is uncompressed common cache, so we need to disable compression while modding it (maybe we can force DXT);

- player.pvr seems to be common cache too, but here we need to force DXT compression (not PVRTC as usially);

game has built-in DXT decompression functions so I think DXT should be supported by all devices, but I didnt tested yet.

 

APK contains assets.zip.mp3 but actually it's ZIP file with most updatable files (like in VC), lol

Anyone else have that bouncing cars issue while driving? Looks really weird.

I saw videos with such bug , thats definitely touch sensitivity issue .

I saw videos with such bug , thats definitely touch sensitivity issue .

So it's a game issue or something wrong with the device itself?

[gamerzworld]

Now that the Android version is out, probably should update the first post with the fact that any modifications should go in "/internal SD/Android/data/com.rockstargames.gtasa/files" and under no circumstances should they delete or modify OBB files. Otherwise, there's going to be quite a few confused noobs coming in here and posting "OMG f*ck ROCKSTAR BROKE MY GAME".

Just seen some flying semi-trailers in Willofield.

Also, the player position doesn't seem to appear on the map for me.

 

EDIT: Fun fact, there's a lot of stuff for the iFruit app in the SA APK.

This is software issue , first of all you should check some apps which can tweak OS touch settings .

Has anyone found a way to add the missing songs back into the game? I saw that the file extensions are changed to .osw and some other formats in the .obb file. On the first page of this thread someone has written that there are blanks on the places where the songs should be, so it is possible to add them back right? I JUST LOVED DRIVING IN THE DESERT LISTENING TO RUNNING DOWN A DREAM

Hey guys, I have the sam problem as GTA VC on my Galaxy S2, some textures are pixeled, I saw it in GTA Vice City Mobile Moding thread, and they says that happen only in Mali GPUs, the R* hate Mali GPUs? Or them aren't powerful enough?

[_CP_]

Yep, War Drum Studios can't save them properly. Maybe I'll try to fix it.

osw files actaully are store ZIP files (no compression ZIPs)

but audio cannot be just added into ZIP (osw) file, otherwise sounds will be randomized a bit. so we need to fix index file (idx). I'll try to make little tool for it.

Really? Both "Life's A Beach" and "Cesar Vialpando" are now much more easier in Mobile (they remove a lot of movements). I could send it to you, but i cant because I'm stuck in "Sweet's Girl" because a bug (Sweet gets out of the car and runs for no reason and then it's killed.) You can send me your Savegame and i will pass the mission for U, (and i bypass mine too)

[El Dorado]

anyone have any clue of how the new colorcycle.dat is read by the game?

Not even if you open the original archive and replace the files with updated ones?

 

I've encoded K-DST from the higher quality PC version, replaced the files from the original osw archive, including the missing songs, and this is the end result.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/i1wbyrhd94h24zx/CR.osw

 

I've tried it on my 4s by going into the menu but all I hear is ads. Anyone with a jailbroken phone that's willing to try it out, just replace the original CR.osw file with this one and listen out for those songs. As usual, make a backup of the file before replacing.

Yeah I kinda noticed that as they seem to have shortened the minigame and reduced the controls to just up, down, left and right.

I've passed all other missions except for "Life's A Beach". Oddly enough I completed "Cesar Vialpando" from the 1st try, but just can't do this one

Managed to get my custom model to load, but I'm having some trouble with getting the textures to work. I used the latest TXDf*cker build and added some BMP files extracted from the TXD, but the game crashes before the main menu loads.

 

If anyone wants to pitch in and help me out on the issue, feel free to PM me. I can post the DFF and TXD files publicly but the mod's a conversion from another game and as per GTAF rules I wouldn't be arsed to do it in public.
