Anyone tried Gamelofts 'Gangstar' on the Streak?

[Guest vinokirk]

I was browsing youtube the other day when I noticed a GTA style game. Turned out it was Gamelofts Gangstar. Has anyone tried this out? They don't seem to do a free trial :-( If anyones got any info, I would appreciate it muchly :P

[Guest fards]

its there, http://www.gameloft.co.uk/android-games/ga...le/?adid=110239

havent tried it yet, but you'd probably have to do the gameloft workaround to grab the trial as it wont let you grab it off the streak.

(on Your pc, **NOT YOUR STREAK** goto wapshop.gameloft.com) and choose HTC incredible as device.. that will give you a list you can download to your pc..

if that doesn't work, then get the link sent via sms as usual

and open it on your pc instead.

its a great game. had it on my iphone and played great so it must be even better on the streak

[Guest brokenpixel]

I've played on 2.1 haven't tried on Steve's 2.2, pretty smooth on 2.1 I'm guessing will be fine on 2.2

If you use this link you can download any of the demos straight to your streak, you can choose a different phone from the options for more games I've downloaded quite a few for nexus and HTC and they are always the same size file so don't think it makes a difference, gangster had sections of background missing though last time I tried it. To change the phone just click where it says your model nexus one at the bottom and you can get more games up.

Had a look at it, textures are missing because several tga files are missing!

Gangstar puts a debug.txt file in its data folder, which lists them..

Stupid gameloft, guess its the same with sand storm

Fards so i take it this wont work on streak

[Guest m4tt24]

Stupid gameloft, guess its the same with sand storm

You get the slightest issues with sandstorm textures but only very minor still very playable spent quite a bit of time at work playing that game, gangster was literally whole sections of floor and buildings missing.

[Guest mrmrmrmr]

I tried it on Steve's Froyo 1.0 and textures are missing.

So what is the problem with textures ?

Why do we have them missed ? How can we fix this ? (is it even fixable ?)

[Guest mrmrmrmr]

this game is beautiful. how can we fix the texture issue ?

[Guest fards]

try finding those missing files..

or ask gameloft if they can update the data package so we can actually buy it.. obviously as soon as you mention the streak they'll ignore you..

[Guest mrmrmrmr]

why do ypu think so ? (ignore ?)

btw, I can find the files (on a friend's galaxy s)

then what ?

[Guest fards]

if you can find the files then stick them in the sdcard/gameloft/games/gangstar folder and see if the textures work on the streak.

it isn't available for the streak, so they won't support it

[Guest mrmrmrmr]

Hi,

I got the files from Galaxy S. However, when I checked I can see these files on my Streak as well (at /sdcard/gameloft/games/gangstar)

Could it be a path problem ?

Under which path should we place these ?

compare and see if those files I listed above are missing from the galaxy s version?

[Guest mrmrmrmr]

I didn't check each file one by one but they seem to be the same files.

On the other hand, we have two information:

1. Dell Streak has all the files that Galaxy S has

2. On galaxy S there is no texture problem

So, why do we have texture problem ?

It can be a relative path problem. Or else what ?

i really don't know.

the debug file I posted was in the gangstar folder.

If you check the names of the files, they are all the textures that seem to be missing in the game..

[Guest mrmrmrmr]

has anyone found out what's wrong on Dell Streak which causes no texture problem ?

[Guest mrmrmrmr]

I've read comments of other people who use official Dell 2.1 and they are able to play Gangstar.

So I believe the problem is on 2.2 build.

I hope the coming official 2.2 build runs Gangstar.

Interesting, the beta certainly couldn't, lets hope the final can..

[Guest mrmrmrmr]

I tried with Steve's 1.4.1 and it still does not work.

I don't understand why...

nope neither does the final..

[Guest mrmrmrmr]

could it be a problem of read/write permissions to some folders ?

maybe we should try with:

enable read/write on all partitions

install app

disable read/write

[Guest offthahorse]

ok so maybe this has been established already, but it seems like games and texture paths are coded differently based on which chipset is being used

The first example is Need For Speed Shift. I downloaded for mine, then attempted to let my friend with a captivate try it before buying. Mine ran perfectly but he had to get the Galaxy specific file for it to work correctly on his. the problem he was having with a "snapdragon" version? Missing textures.

Next I tested a few different version of Gangstar. The first didnt specify the chipset, but i was able to see alot of the textures, including the main character, and streets but not cars. I sideloaded the EVO 4G version of Gangstar. I get no streets, no sidewalks, no character, no cars.

Next, i tried an ld trick i used to use to inject some fun into games. I opened up the .tga files in photoshop, many will open, some will give the error "Could not complete your request because the file-format module can not parse the file"

which to me means "this file is corrupt"

I havent tried modifying read/write settings. I'll try that now and report back
