Hey egon i noticed that I was using Texture.defaultTo4bpp(true); since it was in an example or something.  if i set that to false the texture problem is actually fixed on the emulator, although I think it runs slower.  So the question is should i just keep it set to true since it runs faster and it seems to work on my real phone?  Is there a chance that it won't work on a different phone (i.e. the texture problem occuring), if so then should i set it to false?

Ah ok, I will just use small unicolor texture images then.

alright thanks for the info.

I noticed I load an obj that has a solid color material as opposed to an image file and it seems to work in jpct but after i serialize it for Android, and load it in the android program it does not have those solid color materials?

I also noticed some parts of serialized object looks a bit strange, maybe the textures or something like that.  Is this common?  Not sure if its because of the serialized object or because of android.  Heres an example of the strange textures, those red parts are not supposed to be there: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a23/Disastorm/Temporary/weird.jpg

*edit just wanted to point out that the strange textures do not appear on my phone, it ends up appearing perfectly normal.  Is the strange texture something with older version or android or maybe just the emulator?  I wanted my game to be compatible with older versions so I've been using Android 1.6 emulator.

Ah ok.  What do most people currently use to produce sound in android apps, do you know?  It looks like the android libraries have their own sound player called SoundPool or something ??

hey i was just wondering does this work on android?

Ah ok thanks, and yes it turns out it was the menu bar.  I disabled the menu bar and I don't need to do the offset anymore.

I have a question about the offsets that I seem to need to add to get the correct positioning.  Will these be the same on all phones/android versions?  I feel like using constant offsets is not good unless it will always be the same on all versions, and also I don't know what causes them.  I saw you mentioned in an older thread that sometimes menubars and things can do that, so I'm thinking maybe its the titlebar (bar that contains the apps name) that messes up the positioning?

Hello, I was just wondering if animations get serialized for Object3Ds when you serialize them with the Deserializer class.

Thanks for the long response.  The shaders stuff sounds pretty complicated as I've never read into them before.  I had just thought I could generate the maps with ShaderCL and apply them but I guess thats not the case.  Maybe some time in the future though I'll try to read about the Shader thing since it seems like they make things look alot better.  I will also read about multitexturing since I didn't know about that.

Hello, I don't know much about mapping other than that there are a bunch of mapping styles that make textures look better because of light, but I saw a cool demo on your youtube of parallax mapping on android, so I was wondering what forms of mapping does jpct support and how do you do them (assuming you already generated the mapping images)? The only method I saw related to mapping on Object3D is setBumpMapTexture (and the android one doesn't even have that method?).  How do you do things like height,parallax, normal, displacement, etc?  Are these actually all forms of bumpmapping so it can just be set in that method?  On your youtube I noticed you used an app called ShaderCL to generate the maps.  Does this mean I can use this application to make my textures look better?

Ok thanks I got it working although it still seemed like there was some y offset that i had to subtract, but after that, it works now.

Hello, this is my first time programming anything in android.
I'm not sure why im having this problem but maybe you can help me.  When I do the below code it seems to keep adding the object at the center of the screen instead of where i click/touch.  Am I using this method incorrectly? 

SimpleVector dest = new SimpleVector(0, 0, 0);
dest=Interact2D.reproject2D3DWS(cam, fb, (int)xpos, (int)ypos);

Object3D newObj = Primitives.getBox(5f, 5f);
newObj.setOrigin(dest);
world.addObject(newObj);
newObj.strip();
newObj.build();


yea they are up to date.

does this help anything:
