Develop Bugs

Call To ALL Developers!!!!

Hello, Xda-developers....
I have been looking for interesting games for my Touch HD and Touch Pro and have sadly not been impressed by all of them... There have been some that stand out in my eyes, but not alot. So my plan is to create a group of developers to join in and make a series of great games for our Touch HD and (Touch Pro and Diamond). If anyone would like to help me in this process please do message me or post a reply... I have great graphic skills... but do not know much about developing windows mobile.
I have come up with a quick (outline of what some of the games will be) The shot is posted below...
again please contact me if you are interested in helping..

I could be tempted to write either a TIME PILOT clone or a PINBALL game in either PPL (very easy) or C# if someone wanted to collaborate on graphics and Game play

There should be many games if we have VGA games emulator => WVGA fix (which already exist) which uses those 160x480 pixels as a virtual dpad like this
http://upload.csrune.com/files/dpadsip669.PNG
. So if you are really able to make some new game, then maybe you can this ? Because if you can, it would be much more usefull than one new game. With this, we can play loads of VGA games which needs dpad.

my hole point is to make a game specifically for the HD... which uses only hd functions so it can be fully optimized....
arent there any developers interested???

They had little luck getting as far as you probably did... maybe they have some info that may be usefull to you...
Just out of curiosity, after its done will you consider vga/qvga resolutions too?
Keep up the great work and if you need any help on icons, graphics or something let me know.

vga and wvga is possible
qvga is not acceptable because you can not see what is happening on screen
desktop variant even loads the map
for the ppc texture is too big and i will need to reduce the texture to something smaller and with less tiles
i will need to redesigh all maps after this
so i will need your help but first we need to load an reduce map on the ppc
i have also on xperia forum in my kitchen the link for warcraft II and transport tycoon
please try them
br

hy all

i will do an test map to see if it loads it

you can help me using the pc version
is the same data for both versions
and scripts folder is used for developpement
please open scripts and try to make menus for secenario game
yo can use this editor http://www.flos-freeware.ch/zip/notepad2.zip
br

hmm...hehehe... Im not a programmer, only play around in flash because its very simple to use.
I was offering more on the edition of images department, sorry... :/

well everything is in LUA scripts the menus the interface ...
i will have to play a lot to make it work on qvga, BTW it starts on QVGA device but as you know the resolution is a lil high for it

Wooohooo, and there's the next great Desktop game coming to us!
BTW: I can test it on my Diamond for VGA users if you wish!

i think there is easyer way to do it for VGA - this is WVGA and all the graphics have their sizes fixed ....
i will have to find my starcraft cds ... to start experiment on this

OMG if you guys can get this working on VGA as good as warcraft2 runs and as bug free I (and im sure many others) will donate!!!!!!!!!! HUGE starcraft fan here =)

WOOHOO....HUGE Starcraft fan here too. I can't wait for Starcraft II to be released. I have both original CD's of Starcraft I and Brood Wars. I still play this today. I have many more missions (maps) from users on the internet. Some are awesome.
I swear I will buy a WVGA device just to be able to play this game!!! I will certainly use my wife's Xperia to test it once it's going.

bump.. no helpers? =)

Why dont you try to run it on VGA, it will start, but some of the things may be cutted from the both sides

I was a fan myself, and I guess I still am, so I would like to help, let me know what I can do.
my spare time is very limited but I'll try.

I cant program, so I can only help on the images...

Wouldn't it be easier to get a working VGA game, since StarCraft runs in VGA natively? And if you want to make it WVGA, you would stretch the aspect ratio of the game?
Normally I prefer to have correct aspect before full-screen, but perhaps it's different on such a small screen.
Anyway, StarCraft would be the NUMBER ONE GAME I'd like to have on PPC, bar none. And, I do have a Diamond - so I'm quite biased towards the VGA version...

Amazing! Can't wait to see it, I really hope you bring it to VGA. If you need someone to help test it on a VGA device, my Touch Pro is at your disposal.

mach 5 web browser

superb alternet of skyfire,
for me skyfire was slow in comparison of mach 5 it use to take lots of time to start up and sometime it use to just not authorise to login
and in this mach 5 we can watch videos in full screen when videos are detected it plays it in full screen.
have a look guys
http://www.wmexperts.com/netacceler-...native-skyfire

Corrected link: http://www.wmexperts.com/netacceler-mach5-browser-decent-alternative-skyfire
It does look good, but I don't like that it's just a demo and they will charge (or plan to charge) for it when the demo expires

thanks for correcting link.
it seems they are charging for fuller version but believe man the lagging problem of skyfire and all those slow interval in pages when u zoom in and out. really i found not usefull at all when i used skyfire except self console of watch every type of videos.
but i have used it and will be using till june ofcourse coz its free and ya believe me its better interms of:
tab pages
smooth scroll
fast
doesnot take that long to open pages
it identifies video and enables us to zoom in
landscape view manually thats what i think is much more better den using skyfire and one additional rotation program.
i would appreciate opera browser with all those functions if its what i am understanding from forum about opera 9.7 but i am not sure..
any way
my opinion

I have been using their trial version for more than 3 months, it seems there is no expire date.
the new version is really fast, but still not fully support Java and active X as they claim in their offical site.

i guess trial version will end by next month according to there website

I registered on their website and they only have the QVGA and VGA cabs. Anyone have the WVGA version?

I've search and search but can't find any. Am I to early?
I've tried Giannis86 x-mas theme from last year but can't get it to work with the new ROM's. Tried it on the stock 6.1 ROM and it worked great but I dont wanna go back to 6.1 now that I tried the new 6.5 ROM's
It's the same with Alfoalfo's xmas clock, works on 6.1 but doesn't work on 6.5.

Somewhere here on xda is a thread for a theme generator that is linked to this site: http://ppcthemeonweb.benthon.com/ThemeOnWebEn.htm
At that site, you can generate themes to your heart's content. You just have to get some Christmas images of your choice and save the Jpegs on your computer to be used by the online theme generator.

yes
Thanks man, really!!
Will try it out as soon as I can

You just need to know your screen resolution when you select the initial theme. Prior to this, you need appropriate pix stored in a directory. Then you will set up the landscape and portrait lay outs. If I remember correctly, once you tell the website you want to create the theme, it will provide a link for the download of the theme it creates using your info.
The developer did a nice job and does not add watermarks or other info indicating his site was used to create your theme.
I did one or two themes just after I discovered the thread here and have the exterior website as a Favorite.
If you're going to publish your theme, I'd recommend going to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page unless you're good at creating home made pix. Wiki Commons has pictures that are in the Public Domain that can be used without violating a copyright. Typically if you use a picture in the Common Domain, you might want to attribute where you found it and release using the same Public Domain license.
Using the Search box off to the left side of the screen will call up pictures.
Good luck!

I've tried it guick but it looks like it's not for blackstone? no WVGA res?
and in the preview with my pics, it looks like it's for devices without touch? I know it has nothing to do with touch or no touch, I just wants you to know wich phones I mean. Like blueberry devices.

It creates a very basic theme one probably more suited for non-touch/non-TouchFlo PDA or smartphone. It's capable of creating every smartphone's theme - you just need to know your phone's resolution. I don't have a Blackstone or knwo what WVGA is. I have built two basic QVGA themes for my Jade Clone because I looked up my resolution and worked with the online theme generator to build themes.
You have to become your own master if you want to have Christmas themes.

HTC Touch HD resolution is 480x800..
There were no such resolution to choose.
Tried HDWall but can't get it to work, will try even more
Thanks for your help man

Great news!!! Maybe the best news i've ever heard regarding the Hd mini

When it'll be , I can't wait to see

Or in the middle of September, or in the end! Fasten guys!

Is there any version that work on HD Mini? I installed Co0kie's Home Tab 1.8.5 (Latest version here) but in the HOME page icons are bigger than usual...

Co0kie's Home Tab 1.8.5 does not work for us!! Therefore we wait release 2.0

Neither this nor the next standard release(s) of CHT will feature/support HVGA out-of-the-box. That's why I'm currently developing a seperate HVGA port of CHT with help from the team.
Therefore don't bother asking HVGA specific questions in the official CHT topic.

great
