Can we get Gradle support for JPCT-AE?
It would make things easier if you could install/update JPCT by Gradle. Also it would be nice to get notifications through Gradle when there are updates, so I don't have to keep manually checking

Update:
So after many years of fairly bug free 3D wagon wheel and pitch maps from JPCT, we will be updating to Unity in a near upcoming release.
This is so we can use the same codebase for all our platforms (web, iOS, Android).

JPCT has been a dream compared to Cocos3D which is what we had on iOS.

QuoteYou have no device to test this on or just no S4?

I don't have any of the newer devices that this crash happen on. It might happen after I change the camera POV.

It's odd that it happens only on these newer devices. Has something changed in the newer chips?
They might of broken something with OpenGL ES 3?
All the devices I listed above support OpenGL 3.0: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL_ES

QuoteIf it's not fixed with the new version and you haven't already, consider to try the latest beta from here: http://jpct.de/download/beta/jpct_ae.jar

Thanks. I guess I'll wait and see if it is fixed when we do the next update. The next release date is some time still.

I noticed in our crash logs we are getting a "vertex shader: glError 1280" crash. Looking this up the error it is a GL_INVALID_ENUM.

This happens on the HTC One, Sony Xperia L and the Samsung S4, which I don't have access too. I have now updated the latest JPCT version (did you fix such an error in the past?), so I guess I'll soon see if such an error goes away once we release it. But I thought I'll log it in here in the meantime in case someone knows more about it.

Is it possible to add a setting to Virtualizer to only save to/load off sd card if the device is low on memory?

Awesome stuff!

QuoteI've added it to the project page.

Cool stuff.

The latest version now includes inputting of PM and WW which is all done in JPCT

QuoteI've no idea why the addition of an alpha channel should improve accuracy in the fragment shader.

Isn't false turning it off?

QuoteI've no influence on the result of trilinear filtering.

Ah ok. Might just leave that option then.

For the S2 it should have the highest of settings on.
I can count the colours on that texture... 7 heh.

I did have glDither on but not before the FrameBuffer. It does help.

Found that replacing:
aa = new AAConfigChooser(mGLView, true);
with:
aa = new AAConfigChooser(mGLView, false);

Improves it a little more. But still really looks 8bit.

I've currently reverted back to the stable version. Can't do any more testing today.
It happened on the Android 3 tablet. It showed only after a while of testing. I didn't notice this on any other device, however my tests were quick.
This build had the OpenGL switching. I don't know if it happened just solo OpenGL 1.x.

Except that the beta is buggy 
On a Samsung tablet 10.1 the whole 3d view spazzed out. This image shows me zooming in, causing a ghosting effects over the screen.



With my quick test it seemed to be only for OpenGL 1.0

Just letting you know that I tried Config.glTrilinear on the galaxy S2 and it messes up transparent textures.

Without:


With:


Though I guess it might be because glTrilinear isn't ready to be used yet?

P.S: Seems texture colours is 8bit when using OpenGL 2.0 for the S2 

I don't know what you did, but it works now

Thanks for the quick fix.

What if the old FrameBuffer is still in memory would that do it?

Yes. I switch OpenGL correctly, just doesn't seem to work after I've used OpenGL 1.X
