Do you think you could make the overlay buttons look nicer? possibly something that looks like the psx4droid, super nintendo emulators and such with transparent control for the button overlay? The Tyrian could use that change too.

Also when selecting the menu via the star at the top right it goes to the menu as normal but once you use up or down arrow it acts as though it's being pressed twice. So it skips options in the menu. lol frustrating.

Can I use my audio files from the 3DO version in this like you can with the PC version of The Ur-quan Masters?

Hey, I'm not a designer or artist, give me some images and I'll make you any buttons you want.
I've posted a request to my libSDL page on anddev.org, got no replies yet.
Here you go: http://wiki.uqm.stack.nl/Android_port
BTW stupid question: how to name a ,zip file and what to put there so UQM will load it as game data? Putting "uqm-0.6.0-content.uqm" and UQM binary in the same dir does not work. Currently the game data is unzipped after downloading, it occupies 60 Mb of disk space because of fragmentation instead of 12 Mb zipfile.
I'll add 3DO music and voice files as optional downloads. Also I want to add Precursors remixes as optional download - if I'll just unzip them to current dir will they be used instead of data in zipfiles>

I was just wondering if I could use them, since I already have them. I don't want to re-download. I'd rather just copy the files in the correct folder if that will work. So that's my question, can I put the 3d0 files and remixes in there somewhere and be able to get support for them? I'll see what I can come up with as far as control layer image. Any specific image size needed? ie screen size? or individual button sizes?

I'll add 3DO music and other files as optional download, when I'll get familiar with UQM package system.
I just took the content from project SVN and zipped it as-is - it unzips to the directory "/scdard/app-data/com.sourceforge.sc2/" on your phone (if you've selected "Install to SDcard" option), you can try to unzip 3DO music package there and maybe the game will load it.
You may create buttons of any size you want - there is option for several on-screen keyboard sizes, I'll draw your images resized to the same position where currently my poorly drawn arrows and stars are (or propose me a better button layout, I think I'll add layout editor to my config dialog so users will stop whining about bad controls)
You should give me 2 versions of images - normal and pressed state. If you'll draw just one image I'll be changing transparency value for it to show that it's pressed (this is also needed if you're using accelerometer, to show when you can stop tilting your phone).
Total amount of buttons my on-screen keyboard supports is 7, so I would be glad if you'd draw all 7 images (not necessarily stars and asterisks, just some pictograms so user will understand where to click). UQM uses just 2 buttons, OpenTyrian uses 4, but I might port someday a game that will require all 7 or even more.
Also, the main button (the asterisk symbol) supports auto-fire, so it's actually 3-state button. That feature is of use mainly to OpenTyrian, however I think it won't hurt for UQM too. To make it easier for users to find that auto-fire is actually present I've added small animation to the main button, maybe you can come up with better animation, like some parts of button shrinking or extending, or I can just remove the animation and rely on my help message in config popup.

I'll see what I can come up with. I read the the natural resolution for the Droid X is 854 x 480, but I realize that it's android specific and not droid x specific. Would be cool if it could use vertex images for scaling to different resolutions. Oh well. What I was thinking is that the alpha of the button could be configured by the user in options or something.. so a user can specify how transparent the button images are... ...think that would be do-able?

Yup, I can add yet another popup dialog asking for transparency level to the 7 that already exist there (don't you want to throw your phone to the wall when click through all of them just to play the game? Try selecting Trackball and then On-screen keyboard + Accelerometer to get them all shown).
You can see the example of vertex images in the current release  I even have an editor for my on-screen keyboard font
BTW let's keep discussion on anddev.org, I don'want to answer on the both forums.

Hey pelya... I just updated both my working opentyrian and uquan masters on my droid x running froyo... and suddenly the urquan masters crashes on load. Worked fine before. I believe the version number said 1.0.03. Anyways.. wanted to give you a heads up. Opentyrian loads fine and tested with my artwork for the controls, works great and looks good!
