Tool Ren'Py Alternative/ Second save location for RenPy 7.7.3 / 8.2.3 SDK in Android Ports

[Wills747]

Hello! And in which files should I replace "RenPy_Saves" with its own name?

Easiest way is to grab the bare files pack, open all "*.py" in something like Notepad++. Alt-R and replace RenPy_Saves with custom (usually username/handle) in all opened documents. Save and copy into RenPySDK folder.
If you're using the URM import, you'll have to do this one as well but do it last as it supercedes the bare files pack.

Wow, 197 *.py files found! I think I'll leave it as it is, so as not to break what works.
I'm using version 8.2.1 works fine, has anyone tried version 8.2.3 yet?

I think there's a few less than that in the bare files pack

Hello, good evening to those in the community, I have a problem with the renpy-8.2.3-sdk version, I downloaded it and wanted to install the dsk components for Android, but I get this message.

I installed the latest version of the SDK, I had version 21 installed and I installed version 22, but I still get the same message and rectify that I have it installed on my system

I tried to go back to the previous version that did work for me, but I get a different error, someone would be so kind to help me with the problem, I'm on Windows 10 if you're wondering, and thank you in advance for having had the time to understand my question.

Java versions are a pain in the ass. Try setting the JAVA_HOME directory.

Hi, everything works fine, only during the installation of the APK file Google Play Protect blocks the installation as an unsafe file due to the build being made for an older version of Android. I am using RenPy 8.2.3 Includes rapt and ready to go. Builds from clean version 8.2.3 install without this warning. Is there any fix for this? Or is there no way to avoid this?

It's because I'm targeting API 29 for legacy storage permission in android 10 and under. Targeting api33 will work for Android 10(if opted into scoped storage by device manufacturer) and newer.
Seems Google Play protect is now warning if target API is 2 versions lower than the platform.
It's a warning that can be safely ignored for now until I find a work around that doesn't involve dropping support for older Android versions.

Okay, thanks for the explanation.
