Hello Ted,
Okay, I checked out the new version on my Kubuntu Linux (essentially Ubuntu).
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, it’s not truly a complete rectangular region (they’re staggered).
Anyway, I prefer to play games in a window otherwise I won’t see parts of the
play field. I looked in the code to find where you’re setting it to full screen
and it wasn’t obvious, so I gave up that.
Continuing on... I didn’t see an intro movie, but I got to a title screen (I
think) and then I clicked around and it crashed:
> 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
The reason why it was saying:
Movies/Preintro.avi: No such file or directory
is because file names are case-sensitive under Linux and it should say
Movies/PreIntro.avi (capital I not i)
Probably same thing with the bop0001.png.
I’d suggest downloading and installing Ubuntu 14.04. It’s so much fun to
develop under Linux, and there’s so many tools that it’s an embarrassment of
riches.
Keep trying!
