Hello Ted,
Â
Okay, I checked out the new version on my
Kubuntu Linux (essentially Ubuntu).
Â
The first thing I noticed is that it went
into fullscreen mode, which worked, but I have my desktop spread
over two monitors and due to the way the monitors are situated,
itâs not truly a complete rectangular region (theyâre
staggered). Anyway, I prefer to play games in a window otherwise
I wonât see parts of the play field. I looked in the code to
find where youâre setting it to full screen and it wasnât
obvious, so I gave up that.
Â
Continuing on... I didnât see an intro movie,
but I got to a title screen (I think) and then I clicked around
and it crashed:
Â
> python TimeTrek.py
ffmpeg version
0.8.10-6:0.8.10-0ubuntu0.13.10.1, Copyright (c) 2000-2013 the
Libav developers
Movies/Preintro.avi: No such file or
directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "TimeTrek.py", line 3129, in
<module>
main()
File "TimeTrek.py", line 158, in main
imageload()
File "TimeTrek.py", line 3035, in imageload
bop[i] = pygame.image.load("Images/Bird of
Pray/"+imgscale+"/bop00" + str(i+1).rjust(2,"0") + ".png")
pygame.error: Couldn't open Images/Bird of
Pray/high/bop0001.png
Â
Â
The reason why it was saying:
Â
Movies/Preintro.avi: No such file or
directory
Â
is because file names are case-sensitive
under Linux and it should say Movies/PreIntro.avi (capital I not
i)
Â
Probably same thing with the bop0001.png.
Â
Iâd suggest downloading and installing Ubuntu
14.04. Itâs so much fun to develop under Linux, and thereâs so
many tools that itâs an embarrassment of riches.
Â
Keep trying!
Â
~
Michael
