Eric Froemling sent me a file that creates payload_info file that contains all information about the files. I have an idea. Can you modify that script, so that it works no matter what platform it's for? I want to make my files be registered in the payload_info file, but I don't know how I can edit it.

You know your thing. You made a fricking Blender plugin! That's pretty incredible.
Make a generator out of that file that doesn't rely on fixed paths.

How could this work in theory?
Just place that script in the bombsquad_files and launch it to generate the file. EVERYTHING.
That could be nice if that was the way to operate it. Easy peasy.

If you could do this, I would be pleased.
Download it here.

I appreciate your efforts and quick response. But sorry I am a newbie in this field and just started to learn the things. But a great fan of bombsquad.

BombSquad Joyride Modpack on Android, that sounds great!

@vagishjain

In my country almost everybody has android. And in my college almost everybody plays bombsquad in multiplayer mode. But majority of players are now getting bored because of few levels and game play. 
But bombsquad joyride modpack in android will definitely get all the players back into the field.

Good news!
After countless hours of trying, I have succeeded in importing the mod pack onto the android platform, and it works pretty well! Right now I am still thinking of a way to compress it into an APK so that it can be shared.
Here are some screenshots

Here's a modified version of the asset generation script:
https://gist.github.com/Mrmaxmeier/8edec4826e219e24031c1f40896ee9d2
You need to run it from the bombsquad_files folder to generate the payload_info file.

Please find the .pyc file. Sorry for the late reply.

I didn't test if the payload files of unmodded BombSquad versions match, can you check that?

You can make a BAT file like in the Dedicated Server and launch it using that.

Can you explain me in detail. I have no idea what are you talking about.

BAT file is basically an executable file. This file contains just a line "python test.py"
This tells the file to launch the script using the Python you installed in the system.
You can edit that file using Notepad++. Then you just launch it and that's it.
You need to have it in the same directory as the script.

BTW the APK after applying installs fine, but has a fake Not Enough Storage Room error with 1GB of free space. Tried on every device possible. Any solutions?

Can you send me the apk?

I had to let Angel, the creator of Latinoamerica pack to make the APK for me.

Now I found out what was going on.
It turned out that the script was also registering the BAT and generator files into the file.
Even after removing the affected lines from the file and decreasing the file count, I think that these files being included screwed up the generation, so the APK isn't working.
Is there a way to generate the payload_info file with the exclusion of the BAT file and generator?

In modpack APK is it possible :-

  1. to play multiplayer through local network(WIFI hotspot)?
  2. login through Google I'd ?(so that I can add games and save it in Google I'd)

  1. Yes it is possible for multiplayer parties through WIFI, but make sure that everyone in the party has the same base version and has the modpack.
  2. I know for a fact that the 1.4.100 version of the game supports playlist sharing, so you can just make a playlist in 1.4.100 and share it. That way you have access to that playlist on other devices (doesn't even have to be linked)

Thanxx for a quick reply. Any rough date when modpack will available for the android.

I released the version 2.2, but I want you to test out the 2.3 WIP before release. (link now removed)
Tell me your suggestions. There's no APK for WIP versions. Only Finals are compiled for Android.

@jungleboywolf just download the necessary files and throw them in your mod folder

@jungleboywolf if you're on android, use a computer or download a good file manager. Then download the auto reloader mod (Mod manager) and throw in in the Bombsquad folder. After that, go to settings on Bombsquad and you'll be able to find another menu tab called "Mod Manager" with a white heart icon. The rest should be self explanatory.

The script works fine on Windows as long as you've got Python 3 installed.

To be honest, this is one of the hardest things you might learn when it comes to modding BombSquad. This stuff is so complex I finally got it after two weeks of trial and error. It involves installing Android SDK, rooting your device and setting it to USB Debugging Mode, constant builds of APKs that might take up to 20 minutes and then pray by connecting your device to PC and testing it out to make sure it will work.

For most people, this might be seen as black magic and who can blame them? If you have patience made out of gold and you want to commit to this, a quick Google search for modding APKs will be easy. The hard part is following these tutorials and troubleshooting. I alone had to ask Eric Froemling for help with his payload_info file, but @xiaoyuan1018 already figured it out.

I don't want to write two-page essays about how to make an APK package because it's so boring and tedious. Good luck out there, but me careful. You might get discouraged quickly.

In fact, it is very simple, and some need to study by themselves. Add the MD5 code of the new file to the payload_info file.. Add content format,. Self research
