I just uploaded an initial port of the AGS runtime to iOS (for jailbroken devices only at the moment).
Installation:
Add my repository to Cydia: http://jjs.at/cydia
You can then download the engine, midi patches and a test game (just a default "new game") if you want to see Roger walking around on your iDevice.
You can also get a build of the engine as an IPA file from here: http://jjs.at/daily . This will probably be updated more often than the Cydia repo, but there is no guarantee that every version found there will work.
At the moment only a single game can be played. It has to be placed into "/var/mobile/Documents/ags/game/". The main game file has to be named "ac2game.dat". The game folder must have write permissions for a standard user.
A file "ios.cfg" can be placed into "/var/mobile/Documents/ags/" to configure the engine, e.g. change the mouse control method or switch the renderer. There is no ingame way to change settings yet. The file has the same options as the Android configuration file.
Controls:
- The mouse cursor moves to where you touch down on the screen
- A short tap issues a left click
- A longer press (0.7 - 1.5 s) keeps the left mouse button pressed (for dragging things and verbcoin GUIs)
- A long press (> 1.5 s) opens/closes the onscreen keyboard (includes F1-F12 and ESC)
- Right clicking is performed with a two-finger tap
What does work:
- AGS games with version >= 2.50
- Sound and midi playback (download the patches for that)
- Accelerated theora video playback
- Software and hardware OpenGL rendering
- Snow/Rain, Flashlight and AGSBlend plugins are built into the engine (this is important in case the engine goes into the app store because its policy forbids loading external libraries)
What does not work:
- There is no way to press the ESC or F1-F12 keys -> now included in the onscreen keyboard
- Only one game can be played
- No ingame menu or settings
The source code is as always on gitorious: https://github.com/adventuregamestudio
It contains an Xcode 3.2.6 project. The custom build step is for fake-signing the package so that it can be debugged through the IDE. You have to change that to accomodate your setup.
I have only tested on the simulator and on an iPod touch 4g with a jailbroken iOS 4.3.3. Performance on that is about as good as on my Android HTC Desire (maybe a little faster).
Wow, great work! Worked really nicely on my iPod Touch 2g, iOS 4.2.1. I tried out a couple of my games:
- How Many (http://www.serpentpictures.net/games/how_many.rar): FadeOuts didn't seem to go all the way to black. Pixel hunting was a bitch. Performance was very good.
- By the Numbers (http://www.serpentpictures.net/games/ByTheNumbers.rar): Crashed once at the very beginning when I turned the screen to horizontal mode. Everything is out of sync since the framerate is only 20 fps. Talking heads run at about 15 fps, making what little there is of the game totally not fun to play. Raw drawing stuff seems to be working correctly, though. File access and 8bit colours, too.
- Barrier (http://www.serpentpictures.net/games/Barrier.rar): 640x400 @32bit and with some big damn objects, runs even slower, at about 13-15 fps. A big full screen iris in/out animation dropped the framerate to about 6 fps. Other than that it worked great all the way through.
Very very awesome, JJS!
Wow, that's awesome. I don't have an Android device to test my games on, but running them on my iPhone would be amazing.
Wow. I do not own an iPhone, but I am still psyched that you got a port over to it though. AMAZING. OK honestly, what else are you going to try to port AGS to next JJS? You seem to be incredible at this. I would suggest a Dingoo A320. But thats just me. :)
omg omg omg omg, this is sick, JJS, you are GOD :-D :grin:
AGS community surely does have a good future starting from this.
Please consider a donate button on the project man or maybe a kick-starter campaign perhaps, no push though, its up to you.
Brilliant jobs jjs.
Thanks guys! :-*
Unfortunately the hardware of the iPhones < 3GS and iPod < 4g (or < 16 GB 3g) is pretty low spec, comparable to first generation Android devices I'd say. So performance is not that great.
Porting to a new platform actually gets easier every time. The starting point was already good with the Linux port in the original engine, then a lot of drawing issues got tackled on the PSP. All touch related issues basically are solved through the Android version. Therefore iOS was probably the easiest port to date. As for what's next? I think I am done platform-wise (unless someone donates me a PS3).
Just tried out Quest for Glory 2 ASG remake on my iPad2, and it ran great. been playing Qfg2 on my HTC Evo 3D and now I have options. Thank you so much JJS for all your hard work.
Well holy crap!
This is something that Janet and I were going to tackle after we released Resonance next month, but it looks like you beat us to it! We'll definitely be picking your brain about this.
I knew you'd deliver the goods here my friend. Nice going. You are pioneer of multiplatformobility here!
Kudos and congratulations. :wink:
Update time!
- Added F1-12 and ESC key to the keyboard
- Loading indicator now stays centered when turning the device
- Mouse works correctly with the hardware renderer
Known issues:
- There is a race condition when turning the phone which can cause the screen to freeze
- Going to the desktop can cause the game to terminate (also a race condition)
Plans:
- Move the game screen upwards when bringing up the keyboard in portrait mode so that it is fully visible
- Menu for choosing games (if I can figure out how to change views :-\)
- Settings, either rolling my own or integrated into the system settings
The update should show up in Cydia.
Another update...
The game screen now moves out of the way when the keyboard is shown in portrait orientation.
I do not own anything with IOS, but you rock regardless!
Most interesting! However, I'm not keen on jailbreaking my iPad... any hopes in being able to create normal .ipa/.app(or whatever) soon?
This is brilliant. My games run perfectly on my iPhone 3GS running 5.1.
Pity I can't use it on my iPad 3 until the jailbreak is released.
Edit - Ah, slight problem when downloading the Midi patches. My phone keeps saying "Hash Sum mismatch" when it gets to "Done: AGS Midi patches". I don't know if this is a problem with the download or the file and if you can fix it or not.
Edit 2 - Thought I'd edit this post to say that it works perfectly on my iPad 3 running iOS 5.1.1. It runs like a regular iPhone app, running in a small screen, but allowing me to upscale it by pressing the 2x button.
Download of the test game and midi patches should work again.
Yep, that fixed it. Thanks JJS. :-D
JJS, I know you said you wouldn't work on any more ports, and I am sure you have some more work to do with the IOS port, but I do have a request. Its for my brother and a few others actually. Its for a WebOS port. And I know how they feel because I used to have a Palm Pre and it was awesome. I let it go because I hate what HP is doing to it (Dropping it). But it will be licensable to other companies, so it will rise again, I am sure. It is actually my favorite mobile OS right next to Android Ice Cream Sandwhich. Anyway, I want to request a port to WebOS if its possible.
From what I hear, programming for WebOS is similar to Android (Haven't really tried it). A few sites to check out are www.precentral.net
https://developer.palm.com/content/resources/develop/cross_platform_development_part_2.html
http://www.webosnation.com/openmobile-working-hp-make-android-apps-webos-reality
http://forums.webosnation.com/webos-development/314546-our-experience-porting-android-enyojs-phonegap.html
Apparently, they have a very simple solution for porting Android Apps to IOS and WebOS (So I hear). Plus, WebOS has a windows emulator that one can use to test the apps out as well as a RAD IDE on the web(Browser based) that one can use to design GUI's. So, its a possibility to port. You think you would be able to check it out after you are done with the IOS port? My brother would be very grateful since he owns an HP Touchpad. :)
One more link. Sorry.
http://openmobile.co/pdf/Data_Sheet_ACL_for_WebOS.pdf
OK last link. (BTW, I hope I am not breaking rules by posting in a new post rather than editing the prior ones. I just feel that then this thread would not be recognized as being updated).
This link is a tutorial that shows you how to convert an Iphone app to a webos app in ten minutes using phone gap. I am not sure if this would work with the way you have the iphone port set up or not. But thought I would post it anyway:
http://www.youtube.com/v/wWoJfQw79XI?autoplay=1
So awesome! Do you think apple would ever approve this in the app store?
I got to test my game with an adjusted version of this on my new ("unjailbroken"!) ipad. So the app is currently for iPhone only - and the "zoom" for iPhone apps on iPads looks really horrible. Will you make this an universal app in order to support a "clean" scaling for iPad resolution?
Also, the curor @ touch position doesn't work in practice for me one bit. You have the "move finger to move cursor" control (see e.g. scummVM or MI iPad version) in the Adroid version - will you do this for this too? Or can it be configured?
I will make it a universal app. Up to now I wasn't sure if this had any benefit, but I guess it has.
The engine supports the same configuration file as the Android port. You have to create a file "ios.cfg" in the Documents/ags/ folder like this:
[misc]
config_enabled = 1
rotation = 0
translation = default
[controls]
mouse_method = 0
[compatibility]
clear_cache_on_room_change = 0
[sound]
enabled = 1
threaded = 1
cache_size = 10
[midi]
enabled = 1
preload_patches = 0
[video]
framedrop = 0
[graphics]
renderer = 0
smoothing = 1
scaling = 1
super_sampling = 0
smooth_sprites = 0
[debug]
show_fps = 0
Set "mouse_method = 1" for relative mouse movement.
The app now has native iPad support. Please let me know if there are issues with it.

I have a spare PS3! If you can make my game run on that I'll let you have it (and buy you 10 more PS3s!).
Thanks for the offer! Don't mind if I take you up on it. I send you a PM.
It would mean that bigendian platforms will be actively maintained again, so this riddle (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=46222.0) would get solved. :=
First off, holy shit, this is amazing. I stumbled onto AGS like two weeks ago and I'm continually impressed by the work people are doing with it. Also, holy crapcake, you've done a lot of ports.
I was wondering if anyone had a more detailed tutorial for how to use this little bugger to get any given game onto an iPad. I'm not entirely sure what game files need to be moved over and how (I did test the app and ran the rest gam and it worked wonderfully). I'd like to try and stick Gemini Rue on this thing and, from the specs listed above, it *seems* like it would work. Any help would be awesomepossum. (It's an iPad 1 on 5.01 and it's already jailbroken. I'm assuming I need to change some file permissions but that's about as far as I figured it out).
Thanks! <3

Just FYI, I made an experiment and simply put Steve McCreas's "big end" read and write functions into use by disabling ALLEGRO_BIG_ENDIAN macro there. They seem to work nicely for Windows version (functions they use are actually std file routines, which are redefined for big-end case only).
I had to write my own implementations for little-endian getshort and putshort, however, but later I found they were already written in wgt2allg unit.
At the moment there are only few places where I cannot just plain "merge" Steve's code into default code, namely in compress.cpp and also in wfnfontrenderer implementation where you (or tobihan?) used psp_get_char function in little-endian version. I mean, it should certainly be possible, but I haven't tried yet.
Also in some cases there was big-end read/write functions prepared for a struct, but for some reason they weren't actually used; GameSetupStructBase struct for instance.
I guess CJ and Steve were couple of steps away from implementing endianess-independent code to the engine, but just did not finish this job.
Legba, the game files go into /var/mobile/Documents/ags/game/
The main game file ("Gemini Rue.exe") has to be renamed to "ac2game.dat". You can take a look at the sample game files to get an idea.
The file permissions for the "ags" and all subfolders must allow writing by a standard user.
Figured it all out. Honestly, I should have tested some tinier games first to figure out what I did wrong before bothering you. Super thanks for taking the time to respond anyway. It works brilliantly (and significantly faster than the wine wrap I did to run it on my mac).
For anyone else concerned about how to right-click: It takes a little getting used to but you tap with one finger and then tap a second finger to bring up the menu. The trick is to bring down the first finger on the object which you which to right-click on and then immediately bring and adjoining finger down (i.e., so the second finger quickly falls right next to the the location of the first).
I've run this on 11 different games of varying size and I've had zero flaws. The key (for me, at least) was using iFile to set the permissions properly and make sure to wipe all the old files in the /games directory before putting a new one in.
Are all AGS games resolutions supported and working at decent speed? I wonder how would Snakes of Avalon work.
All game resolutions are supported and they are scaled to the screen size as necessary.
Speed of course goes down with higher resolutions. On my iPod 4g Snakes of Avalon still gets > 35 fps with the OpenGL renderer in the bar. The downside is that the OpenGL renderer does not yet support tinting of sprites and plugins that draw to the screen (like the D3D renderer on Windows).
Also the memory consumption goes up a lot with the resolution so it is possible that a hires game runs out of memory.
Thanks for the info. Shame about the resolutions as I've been meaning to focus on much higher resolutions in the future. Then again, maybe there will be already a new gen of iOS hardware before I'm ready to release.
Interesting. So literally everything works perfectly except for one problem I've run into.
A few games require navigation through keyboard inputs and, unfortunately, sometimes they require keys that aren't present on the iOS onscreen keyboard. Gemini Rue, for example, requires you use the CTRL key during combat and there's no CTRL key on the keyboard. There's actually a point where you have to hit CTRL or else you can't continue in the game, effectively making the game unplayable on iOS.
Trying to see if there's a tweak out there to allow you to remap the keyboard so as to use other keys to send the CTRL command or if there's something I can put into the ios.cfg file referenced above. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: I also tried hooking up a bluetooth ipad-specific keyboard that had a CTRL key and still didn't work. The only keys that work on the physical keyboard are ones that exist on the onscreen keyboard as far as I could tell.
This is a problem the engine would run sooner or later, since it wasn't made with having portability in mind.
Unfortunately my only suggestion is rather for the future versions of the engine - to implement totally virtual controls that could be rebound from game setup, for example.

Heh, that's why I'm overhauling the Gemini Rue control system right now so that we can port it to iOS. :)

Much how c++ has a way to check which OS its executing an app from, can AGS do the same? Perhaps a script function that checks which platform its running under, and if its running under a mobile OS, functionality can be customized to work with that platform right from within the game. For older games that did not do this, maybe the engine for ports such as Android and IOS can have a default custom keyboard that implements shift/CTRL/ PG up or dwn, Home, End, F1-F12 keys, etc...?
AGS has a script function to check for the underlying platform. But at the moment it returns "Windows" on all mobile platforms because I noticed that games make assumptions based on the reported operating system that don't hold true (e.g. that plugins are not available).
Both Android and iOS ports have a way to invoke the standard system keyboard and to press the function keys and ESC. Adding more buttons is a bit difficult and in the end action scenes like in Gemini Rue will be difficult to play on them anyway. What would be possible is adding customizable buttons that are overlaid over the game and that can be bound to any key. If someone wants to implement that, be my guest.
Edit: Just for reference, this is how the iOS virtual keyboard looks like in AGS:

Just curious - is the only thing holding this back from working on non-jailbroken devices the cost? Nice work, man.

Yep. I've got it working on non-jailbroken devices, it was easy enough. You just need to give Apple $99 to get a developer account!
Can anyone confirm if the recently released 'Resonance' works properly on the Ipad 3 using this AGS port? Thanks!
Most any AGS game can run using the iOS port, although I wouldn't say Resonance is terribly touch-screen friendly. We'll get to that one sometime next year!

Hi Dave, I know this is a digression from this thread, but I have to say thanks for the excellent job you and your team are doing at Wadget Eye! I recently bought and completed Gemini Rue (was sold on it after playing the demo). Being a fan of the adventure genre since the early 90s and having played almost all of them, Gemini Rue stands up with the best of them, and has easily the best story, atmosphere and puzzle-integration I've seen in a long time. Hats off to Joshua and the rest of the team that supported him in making this masterpiece. Can't wait to see what Joshua does next.
Coming back to Resonance, I've only played 15 mins of the demo so far on my Mac (using Crossover) but I haven't noticed anything particularly bad about the interface that would make the game not touch-screen friendly? Can you be more specific - is there something that prevents the game from being completed using a touch screen interface? I'm thinking of buying the full version. Would love to play it on my Ipad instead of the Mac though.
It's mostly that there are a lot of sections and puzzles that rely on mouse hovering in order get through them. With a bit of fiddling, it's possible, but it's not very user-friendly. We're going to make an iOS port one of these days. We're working on Gemini Rue right now. If it works out, we'll do the others.
Edit: And thanks. :)
I'd be grateful if you'd post a process on converting GR to iOS, especially what you ended up having to change to make it more tablet friendly in addition to the general porting itself.
That's up to Janet, unfortunately. She's the one working on the port, due to the fact that she's much smarter than I am.
I installed AGS on my jailbroken Ipad3 and copied over Resonance as per JJS instructions (i.e. copied game files into /var/mobile/Documents/ags/game and renamed Resonance.exe to ac2game.dat) and the game worked fine right off the bat! Thanks JJS :) I even saved a "test" game at the start and reloaded it and it worked properly.
I still have one problem -- I copied over my old save games from my Mac where I am running Resonance using Crossover (and have already completed about half the game), into the same folder as above (i.e. /var/mobile/Documents/ags/game) as I noticed that is where AGS saved my initial "test" game. After doing this, all my Resonance save games from my Mac now appear properly in the load menu on the game running on my Ipad. However, when I try to load one of these saves, the app immediately crashes to the Ipad home screen without any error message. Any ideas? Is this a Resonance issue, AGS-general issue or AGS-IOS port issue? I tried tinkering with the save game file permissions but that didn't help.
The modified engine for iOS (and the other ports) cannot usually load savegames from other AGS versions. If you want a Windows engine that is compatible with the iOS savegames, use one from the daily builds: http://jjs.at/daily/. It works like on the ports, just put it into the game folder with Resonance.exe renamed to ac2game.dat. This still doesn't allow you to play the old savegames but you can at least share the new saves between the iPad and the PC.
Hi there,
Sorry for the lame question guys. How do I get the keyboard visible when playing QFG2 VGA?? I'm running ipad 3 jailbroken.
Thanks,
Rob
Hold down one finger for more than a second. It gets closed the same way.
Not sure how good it will be for playing the game though, it might not have all required keys.

I think it would be very unlikely that saved games from one platform would work on another, sorry :(

Most of the code change was in the GRUE scripting, which I did on PC as normal in the AGS editor. The largest amount of time was involved in just making hotspots/buttons/icons/dialogue fonts etc bigger and other small changes to make it play better. I also added a new system of icons to compensate for no keyboard being available in the combat and box-pushing sections. I also removed all gameplay elements that needed a right-click.
On the engine side, on the Mac, I changed the way that tapping works from the default, which is designed to enable users of jailbroken devices to play PC games. I didn't need to worry about the engine being compatible with all out-of-the-box AGS games, just Wadjet Eye's games, so I altered the touch-screen controls for the way Wadjet Eye's games play. I also exposed some minor internal stuff in the engine to the scripting language (so that, for instance, the script can now tell whether we are on an iPad or not.)
I've just built a beta version of the game and sent it to testers, so fingers crossed it works on more than just my iPhone and Dave's iPad!

They will. We are working on this :).
Although the games saved with some intermediate port version may still remain incompatible. But if that's really needed, I guess there could be a savegame conversion solution.
The AGS app on my IPad 3 keeps crashing. This has happened with both games I've tried playing - Tale of Two Kingdoms and Blackwell Convergence. The games start fine and I can play them for a bit, save/load games etc as well, but then all of a sudden, the app crashes and I return to the home screen. I've tried closing all my other memory intensive apps/games from the background but I keep experiencing this issue. I havent had a session that has lasted more than 20 mins.
Any ideas? Thanks
I updated the port to the latest source version. Please try with that, it potentially has a fix for the crashing. Unfortunately it doesn't happen for me (ipod 4) so it is a stab in the dark.
If this does not help with the crash, please place a configuration "ios.cfg" into the game directory ("/User/Documents/ags/game/ios.cfg") with this content:
[misc]
config_enabled = 1
[sound]
enabled = 1
threaded = 0
cache_size = 10
[debug]
show_fps = 0
logging = 0
You should notice that sound starts stuttering on room changes but it probably also removes the crashes.
Thanks JJS for the quick response. However, both options didn't work - I got the latest update, and when that didn't stop the crashing, I tried with the ios.cfg file and that didn't help either. FWIW, I didn't notice any stuttering of sounds when changing rooms like you mentioned. Any other config changes to try? Out of curiosity, what seems to be causing the problem - memory, sound?
Can you verify that the config file is actually read by setting
[sound]
enabled = 0
This should disable sound completely.
I was under the impression that the crash is sound related but if that config file doesn't make a difference, it must be something else. No idea what it would be though. But since you can reliably reproduce the crash we should be able to figure it out eventually ;)
Edit: Ok, maybe I know a way to find out more about the crash. Since you have a jailbroken device, can you get me the crashlogs from the device? They are stored at this location with a plist extension:
/var/mobile/Library/Logs/CrashReporter
Because they have to match the debug symbols that I currently have, I would only need the crashes from today.
Edit2: Actually it looks like the crash reports get synced by iTunes, so depending on your situation it might be easier to get them from the PC. A guide is here: http://www.trilinkee.com/crash_logs.html
Yes, it is reading the ios.cfg file properly - I set sound enable=0 like you said and that disabled the sound in the app. So that's good.
I looked at the crash logs on my iPad in the folder you mentioned and found several from the ags app today. Here is a fragment of the latest one that might be useful. If this isn't helpful, perhaps I can attach a complete one. (Also, not sure why I need to sync with my Mac/iTunes)
[EDIT] As you can see in the stacktrace below, the problem seems to be in the thread involving AQClient. Googling this, I found a possible soltion involving the autoreleasepool - see: AQClient Issue (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8055597/how-to-track-down-strange-crashes-of-ipad-app-in-aqclient-thread).

Thank you for the log!
The crash happens in the audio callback but I think it is for a different reason than in the stackoverflow thread. I updated the port, maybe it cures the problem.
If it still crashes, I probably have to look at the full crash report. I suppose the crash always happened the same way as in the crash you posted?
You can post new logs using the {code} tags so that they use less room or send to my email jjs@jjs.at.
Great work JJS! I got the latest update of the port and it fixed the crashing problem! I've been playing a game on it for more than 2 hours now and it hasn't crashed even once. Moreover, if I temporarily close the app and go to the home screen, or switch to another app and then come back, the AGS game resumes from its earlier state, instead of restarting like it used to do. So whatever you changed in this latest update, seems to have done the trick.
I'll keep you posted if I run into any new issues. Thanks again for all your help!
ps. I'm still using the ios.cfg like you said earlier. Not sure if I need to or not with this latest version
Sounds good :-D
I uploaded another update. It is essentially the same but with a further change for task switching. The config file should not be necessary, ideally the game would run without it or when setting
threaded = 1
in it. So for testing the setting should be set back to this default value.
It is interesting that you don't see a sound stutter. The ipad 3 is probably fast enough so that this does not become a problem usually.
E: All changes are now pushed to the source repo.
Thanks JJS. I got the latest update and set threaded=1 in ios.cfg and have not had any problems so far. I completed two games from start to end without any crashes (playing for several hours), so it works great now.
Awesome job!
This is amazing, I'm still slowly learning the basics of the AGS engine itself and capable of simple scripting but slowly getting better. Still I'm impressed with what other people can do. Is your eventual plan to have somehting that would help others put their AGS games into the apple store? Still there be plans for a versiont hat will make a standalone ipa file with the engine and game contained?
Hey guys, this is amazing stuff!!! Thanks JJS for share your work with us!
Actually i have a couple of questions,
a) if i'm wright it's possible to make a build without a jaibroken i-device, but with Xcode (even without apple dev. licence)
b) I tryed to build the Xcode project with Xcode version 4.5.2 and got a lot of yellow advertisement, but even worst, there's some ! red ones all of them in the Audiochannel.ccp directory
Obviously i'm doing something wrong, and as i'm not a xcode wiz i'd really appreciate some advice,
tnx! and once again, fantastic job!
a) Well, technically you can do a build. But you cannot run it on your device. This is only possible with either a jailbroken device or a dev account. If you try to debug the app, xcode simply tells you that there is no provisioned device and refuses to launch.
b) There a a lot of warnings (the yellow stuff), you can ignore that. The red errors are caused by a missing C++ flag and should be fixed by the latest commits (update your sources).

You will always need an Apple developer account and some knowledge of developing apps for iOS to bring an AGS game to the market.
Hi JJS, thank you so much for your answer!
I understand that i will need either an dev account or a jailbroken device, sure. I just wanted to test it in the simulator to do some tests...
I'll try to find the latest version of the files, i though i got the right ones ;(
Once again, thank you!
Hi again JSS! I tried to make another build and it worked much better, but now I got this two errors...Any clue? tnx!
(http://www.toonguska.com/build.png)
That's my fault. IIRC there was a C-style type-cast before, and I occasionally removed it. Probably your compiler does not like implicit cast.
It should be:
ReadArrayOfInt64((int64_t*)buffer, count);
#else
ReadArrayOfInt32((int32_t*)buffer, count);
and
WriteArrayOfInt64((const int64_t*)buffer, count);
#else
WriteArrayOfInt32((const int32_t*)buffer, count);

We at Wadjet Eye Games are planning to bring our games to the App Store very soon! The engine works just fine already (with a little jiggering) for building with a developer account (which is $99)
Fantastic news JanetC!!! Can't wait to get your games in my ipad...or iphone...Actually i installed a windows 7 in my mac just to play Primordia and Resonance!
When are you planning to hit the Appstore?
Btw, it's not the 99 dollars that stop me to have a develop. account, i just wanted to be sure that the port is working, even if with jiggering...but i still can't have my build running without errors, i don't think it's a matter of having the apple license at all...or i'm wrong?
Thank you!

Cool! We want to release pretty soon but we haven't got a date yet!

Not sure what you are asking here!

What error do you have now? Is your installation of xcode properly patched to produce unsigned binaries? You might have to change or remove the post build event that is run after the build has finished. It is written for xcode 3.x because that is what I use.
Edit: Actually there were files missing from the xcode project, so that is probably the issue. I fixed that, sorry for the trouble.
Also I am now uploading IPA files of the engine to the daily build location http://jjs.at/daily/ . They will be updated more regularly than the Cydia repo.
Wow, awesome, after a bit of fiddling I was able to get it to run indeed. I am very happy I have been working on my first game as a supprise for friends for their wedding and being able to get it onto an iphone is pretty mind blowing considering my programming knowledge started and ended with basic and fortran back in the late 80s and never started up again until last fall. Needless to say I'm still pretty much in the dark and muddling my what through. Hopefully there will be a way eventually to run more than one game, perhaps a way to make one folder or .ipa file with both the engine and game files contained, though without a mac I won't be getting a develper account any time soon so not sure if that will ever be possible on a PC. Thanks again for all your work on this.
Got a crash on iOS Gemini Rue which stumps me... It was on my iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.1.
I'm using a slightly customised version of the iOS port which can be found at
https://github.com/JanetGilbert/ags
Here's the stacktrace:
(http://i.imgur.com/4E5Ehd1.png)
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks!
I think I saw an error with similar callstack (PThreadThread::thread_start -> update_mp3_thread), posted a while ago:
https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/issues/34
Back then it was "pure-virtual function call" on 64-bit Linux.
We did not found out the reason since.
How often does this happen for you? Was it occasional, or can be reproduced?

This has only happened to me once, during my last playthrough of Gemini Rue. It was while a dialogue audio file was being played in a cutscene. I cannot reproduce it, sorry.
I know JJS fixed some similar issues recently at my request, and I integrated his changes into my version of the engine. Here's one of them:
https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/commit/75517855f428ab517d520da90fbcae7f0c4e6490
He also made some other similar fixes to the iOS audio system, which were committed in January this year.
Hi JJS,
I've been playing AGS games with your most recent fix (that fixed my earlier crashes) for a while now without any problems. However, I ran into crashes again with KQ2 - VGA (by AGD Interactive). Here is the crash log. Hope it helps - thanks

I'm wondering if there's any way to build the engine so it doesn't require an exe file, but just the data file? This would be better for commercial games. Any thoughts?
The engine does not require an exe, data file also works. JJS explains here (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=46152.msg636445422#msg636445422) where to cut an AGS game exe to get just the data file.

Thanks for the information. Very useful!
It's probably not required, but strictly speaking the offset information at the end of the data (JJS mentions it) should also be updated to 0. Would be nice to have a small tool to do the cut.
Quote from: JJSThat utility cannot directly chop off the engine though. It can only extract everything and then pack it again. It should be trivial to make a script that removes the exe directly (if you don't suck at scripts like me). It is certainly no problem with a hex editor. The engine exe ends with "PADDINGXXPADDING", the data starts with "CLIB". Cut must be made in between. Also the end of the file contains the offset to the CLIB start iirc. Edit: Yeah, it is the 4 bytes directly before CLIB at the end of the file.
I cut everything from the exe before CLIB. Seems to work. Is that right? I don't understand what jjs means about the "Also the end of the file contains the offset to the CLIB start iirc." - I didn't change that. Is that likely to cause problems?

He meant that there's a value written at the end of file, which tells at which offset (from the file start) the data is written.
Formally that should be 0, since now the file does not contain exe binaries, but for the same reason this offset won't be read at all. It is only being read when the CLIB marker is not found at the file's beginning.
Hi all,
I download and try the port yesterday, and I've been struggling with this error since yesterday, and unable to fix it until now.
Any idea what is the cause or which library I was missing to add?

Thank you so much in advance. I really interested in this, but my engine related programming is not good.
Just thought I'd say thanks for all the help from the AGS port team in getting Gemini Rue on iOS, especially JJS who fixed so many engine bugs and answered so many questions!
Gemini Rue came out yesterday and is doing well :)
Now for the rest of our games!
This thread seems pretty quiet. Any new updates on the port.
Considering the main coder for the port has had a baby, not really.

I'm not really the main coder, just used the port commercially. It's in a pretty good state at the moment (at least my branched version is) - Gemini Rue launched without too many problems.
Is your branch open to the public? Are your changes suitable to be merged into the main branch for other users?
JJS.at/daily has update iOS builds.

In the first page it still says that the port is for jail-broken devices only, but since you managed to put Gemini Rue on the app store, I conclude that you managed to work around that.
Can you share some information on that? Can we freely use the port to publish games to the app store or is there some ground work to be done?
Just a guess but check the xcode folder in /ios
The jailbreak requirement is only for the version in this thread as it is the only way to install non-store apps. Other changes for submitting to the store would be mostly adding meta files like all the required images for the different devices. You can see these changes in JanetG's repository linked above. It also has modified controls that are more suited for touch control.

If you want to use my branch, you are welcome!
As JJS says, it has some control changes to make it more suitable for Wadjet Eye games, but they also require scripting changes to make the best of them. For instance, I had to remove all right-click events because my version of the engine can't handle them, for simplicity.
It is set up to take only one compiled game script, which is compiled into the game, unlike the "real" version that requires jailbroken devices, and allows you to install as many compiled game scripts (.exe files) as you like. This is to make it suitable for the App store.
To sell a game on the app store you will need to get your own developer account and replace the references to my developer account with yours.
Hi all!!
First, congratulations to JJS for this thread!
And hi to Janet :) and congrats you too!
Sorry for my bad english, i have a question...
You could do a sort of step by step for porting? I have read the entire thread several times but I don't understand where i have to start.
I have my own .exe, and then what?
It would be useful a guide like at least the novice like me that would know where to start ... if you have time to do it naturally!
Another thing: there is a way to test the game without owning a jailbroken device or developer account ? Perhaps through an emulator like that of the Apple software (that for xcode)?
TY and have a good day!!
Winz
I have a similar question as well. I can build the xcode project, but I do not know where to put the AGS game file.
I get an error message : (Unable to find game data file in any of the known locations.)
You can now install on non-jailbreaked devices.... I don't know how they did it, but here's an example:
https://github.com/rileytestut/GBA4iOS
And this: http://appadvice.com/appnn/2013/07/how-to-install-a-game-boy-emulator-on-your-idevice-jailbreak-free
Could this be done with AGS too?

Sorry, too busy with my new baby to write a walkthrough!
The exe you need to rename to ac2game.dat and put in a resource folder via xcode (along with any other data files) to be built into the app.

Yes, xcode provides an emulator with the iOS libraries.
I have been struggling to port an old game to iOS for a long time. Finally, I've managed to compile JJS's AGS engine version in Snow Leopard (the actual machine is Mountain Lion. I had to use virtual machine for a lower OS). I can see the "Unable to find game" error in my iPad now. That's something! I couldn't manage making ac2game.dat and other files be visible in iPad or simulator, despite I had put them on Resources/game folder.
Then I have tried Janet's version. I am getting errors like UInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown, I think it's because I'm using iOS SDK 4.3.
How can I get those ac2game.dat files compiled with engine (in other words, what should I have done besides placing them under Resources/game)? Or how is that UInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown problem solved?
---
I've noticed that games forked from my version are reporting to my Crashlytics account. Could you turn off that feature or redirect it to your own Crashlytics account please?
To do this, search the code for Crashlytics and remove those things, remove the Crashlytics framework, and also remove from the "Run Script" phase.
Can someone please help me run this?
I've created "/var/mobile/documents/ags/game" and changed all the permissions to all.
I've placed a copy of The Blackwell Legacy in a directory called blackwell1 inside the game folder.
This folder also all the permissions.
I've renamed the exe to ac2game.dat
Then, I run AGS and I get this error:
You must create and save a game first in the AGS editor before you can use this engine.
If you have just downloaded AGS, you are probably running the wrong exe.
Run AGSeditor.exe to run the editor.
(Unable to find the game data file in any of the known locations)
I've been having issues building the iOS engine for a device with the latest code from github. It seems that some things have changed in OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) where the build shell scripts are no longer building unless some modifications are made (the paths have changed).
Has anyone else run into this issue? Are there a workaround steps I could follow?
Hi everyone!
I have installed AGS in iPhone. I created the file "ios.cfg" and placed it into "/var/mobile/Documents/ags/" with the configuration shown in
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=46040.20#msg619959 (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=46040.20#msg619959)
with the setting "mouse_method = 1" for relative mouse movement but doesn't work ???. File has read execution and write permissions for the group and user mobile.
Rotation setting is 0 but i can rotate the screen. Seems like ags is not reading the configuration file :~(
Can anyone help, please?
Thank you in advance! :)
I realized that the "ios.cfg" file must placed it into "/var/mobile/Documents/ags/game/" and not into "/var/mobile/Documents/ags/". At least this works for me, because rotation setting works inside this path.
When i set "mouse_method = 1" for relative mouse movement, the cursor doesn't move, while setting "mouse_method = 0" works but isn't relative movement.
My iOS version is 7.1.2
Please Help!! :cry: :~(
Any chance this will ever be updated? I get a loading screen when I try to play newer games on this (Quest for infamy, heroine's quest ect..) that engines are most likely not supported.
Someone needs to build a new version of the engine (3.3.2 at least). Is there anyone who managed to do this besides JJS? JJS does not appear on forums often lately.
Regarding Heroine Quest in particular, it uses steam plugin, which wont be working on iOS, so we need either make built in plugin stubs, or automatic stub generator feature (which I plan to work on in nearby future).
Sorry I should've mentioned this originally. I'm actually using a version of the game (for heroines quest at least) that doesn't use the steam plugin. version 1.0 and 1.1 don't use the steam plugin, and both those versions are working on android in my testing.
Of course someone needs to provide a new build of this, but I just wanted to point out that the Steam plugin has an open-source stub (https://github.com/monkey0506/agsteamstub) (which also needs to be built for iOS, but it can be built). I've never built anything for iOS or even really used Mac OS, but I have a virtual box running OS X Yosemite with XCode installed. I've been meaning to take a look at it (among all the other things on my plate).
I might be confusing with Android actually, I recall either iOS or Android simply does not let to add additional binaries aside the base program installation. But this info may be outdated.
Actually, yes. I've heard that before. Sorry! :-[ iOS doesn't allow any external assemblies, so the stub would have to be built into the iOS port of the engine to be able to load properly.
i've got a working build of AGS 3.3.0 using patches written by JanetC and JJS if anyone needs it. not sure if people are looking for the ipa or the xcode project though. let me know.
It would be great if you could post it, I'd love to start using gas again on my iPad.
which do you need - the xcode project or a pre-compiled IPA?
Compiled IPA is what I was hoping for, thanks!

Thank you in advance! ;)
Would not that be easier to just upload these to some file hosting service and share a link?
Sorry for the delay everyone. I realized that I need to make some changes to the port to make it useful for general use.
Don't worry about it :P
Please Keep Us Updated ;)
Apple announced that starting 1. February 2015, apps have to support 64 bit.Can we use AGS iOS port for commercial game on Appstore yet?
https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=10202014a
http://www.macrumors.com/2014/12/17/apple-64-bit-support-reminder/
Does anyone know a commercial iOS contractor that would be interested in low-level engine stuff?
Without JJS I really don't know how to keep AGS up to date for more recent version of iOS. I have been in contact with JJS but he is too busy to work on the code right now.
Wadjet Eye Games is willing to pay a professional to update the port. We need it to work properly with iOS 8. Currently it crashes a lot and can't be built as 64-bit (which Apple are requiring for uploads to the App store)
Can anyone recommend a contractor to do this? They'd need to be experienced in low-level iOS code.
Thanks!

I would prefer a personal recommendation so I can be sure the developer is competent and can work with an existing codebase. There's a lot of sleazy iOS developers out there because of the "gold rush" nature of the platform. Trust me, I get spammed by them every day!
The engine itself should be generally 64-bit compatible (it works on 64-bit Linux), so I guess it is a matter of building iOS wrapper properly?
Unfortunately I can't help with that; but I may try to help if there will be new issues inside the main engine code.
Well, I finally got the iOS engine building for 64-bit! Now to test it and hopefully release some games!
I've put a big post in the engine forum below about how I updated 3.3.3 to work on iOS. It serves as a complete guide to releasing an AGS game on iPhone or iPad. I didn't want it to get lost in this biiiiig thread so I made a new thread :-)
I would like to play Maniac Mansion Deluxe in russian on iOS.
I did all the things from 1st message, but only english is working.
I copied https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/blob/master/iOS/misc/ios.cfg to /var/mobile/Documents/ags/ and maked 777 rights, set "translation = Russian" but still only english. Also, tried to use acsetup.cfg from win-version (in win russian works fine) renamed to ios.cfg but also no effect.
iOS 8.1, AGS 3.2.1k from http://jjs.at/cydia
Please, help to get translation working on iOS

To make it clear: you do have a Russian.tra file with your game?
Do other translations work?

Quote from: Crimson Wizard on Mon 17/08/2015 17:47:07Do other translations work?
No, I done the same thing to French - and no effect.
My guess is that it cannot find or read these files for some reason; but unfortunately I do not own iOS device myself, and do not know how it works.
I have sent a question to game developer who recently was using AGS iOS port. Maybe I'll get some ideas from her.
I solved it. No settings was usied when ios.cfg was placed into /var/mobile/Documents/ags/ as it written in 1st message.
I moved it directly to /var/mobile/Documents/ags/game/ and translations and other options become works. But, game randomly crashes, sometimes when I'm tap all the screen pieces trying to find any objects...
If anyone is further pursuing a commercial version of JJS' amazing port, I'd be interested as a financial backer... I'd love to see this in a neat download with an easy game import coded in from our Archives... Send an email to Paul@8BitAirwaves.com if you're interested in putting this together, I just don't ha e the technical skills to do it myself!!
And not to make it weird but I just want to respectfully acknowledge that JJS is the creator and presumed owner of this software, not sure where Janet and Dave come in but I yield to them!! I don't want a penny- just to maybe spend some so we can all enjoy this with minimal skills and knowledge:)
When I have time I plan to work on this. Not sure financial backing is necessary?

Thank you Sslax, I'll send Wizard a message! I understand finical backing isn't exactly necessary- as I'm sure the majority here have the tools and knowledge already. However I'm lacking the latter and in respect to everyone's time- I'd offer funds to someone for committing to its completion:)
I wonder if its possible to create a downloadable (system) Profile for iOS that is signed (or not) and has compiled game data or something of the sort. Anyway thanks again

I am afraid I am not the guy to suggest money for working on iOS port, because I have very little knowledge of it.
I think it will be better to discuss this with Nick Sonneveld and/or Wadjet Eye; the latter invest money in improving iOS port of AGS anyway.
Can anyone tell, whether is would be acceptable to increase default sprite cache size to 100 MB for iOS device? We have a restriction in the iOS port code that limits cache size to 20 MB always (even regardless the config), and I do not know why is that so.

I don't know why either.
I checked the specs of iOS devices here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iOS_devices
Apparently, newest devices have like 1-2 GB of RAM, but previous versions had much less, like 128-512 MB. I do not know how actively older iPhones are used in general, and not sure whether it will be safe to hardcode default of 100 MB sprite cache for iPhone then. I can enable reading this property from config file though (do not see why not).

I tried setting to to 100mb and it didn't seem to make any difference to the first 5 minutes of Primordia. Ran fine but not any faster or better.

This setting will make difference only if the game must have real lot sprites, or just many high-res sprites kept loaded at the same time, such as smooth high-res character animations.

Hi portdr,
Would you still be able to provide for a pre compiled IPA version? I would much appreciate that.
I've tried the IPA from different sources and it is not working on my iPad ios9.
If you can't provide for it, is there someone who has experience running the port on ios9?
If so please explain how to get the iOS port to work on my ios9 device?
Many thanks for any response,

I'm not sure that anyone will be able to get my version of the port running without expertise in compiling with XCode and a paid developer account. The older version of the port by JJS might have worked because all it required was a jailbroken device, but that older port probably doesn't even run anymore on modern devices.
Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you an unsigned IPA of AGS 3.3.0. It works with most games on every device I've tried (iPhone 6+, iPad Pro etc- not sure about iPhone 7). It doesn't seem to work however with large games such as Primordia, Shardlight and Kathy Rain- the prior two I can confirm do work on Android. Also I don't want to violate any rules here or disrespect Janet and Dave so let me know if this is a no-no! Finally and as always please use a Purchased copy of the game to support our wonderful community:)
Also you do not need to have a jailbroken device however if you don't, you'll need to purchase a IPA installer such as iPastore or (preferably) Zeusmos. There are alternatives to those as well with a quick Google search but I recommend one of the two.

AGS is open source as is our (Wadjet Eye's) version of it, so you can do anything you like!
Anyone know if the iOS engine is/will be upgraded to 3.5.0?
Someone used it the month before this to port a game and did a pr with their changes. I do not have Apple hardware to check. Using it requires some familiarity with XCode and iOS.
I created an issue in AGS repository about the iOS SDL2 port. If any iOS developer is working it, please signal in the issue! Any questions or problems please ask. Unfortunately I don't have an iOS device, so I am a bit limited. :/

Hey, I started the iOS port here in this branch (https://github.com/ericoporto/ags/tree/fix-ios-xcode). It's not finished yet, I noticed there are some caveats to build for iOS without a developer account and without at least one iOS device registered in your account.
If you are an iOS developer and have an iOS device, let me know, your input would be important.
It looks like the iOS port was in recent years focused on porting your own games to iOS, probably with intent of making them available in the app store, so I am approaching the port from that angle.
Hey,
@edmundito did a bunch of work in the iOS Port solving hard problems, I feel we are in good shape to have something for 3.6.X soon :)
It's here
https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/tree/master/iOS#readme
It is working, but so far in a real device I think it only has been tested in my iPhone 14, so we probably need more people experimenting with it.
