I just switched to Linux and I cant open gameEditor

Postby TeraPoison » Sun May 26, 2013 8:40 pm

I downloaded gameeditor and unziped it and the folder is on my desktop. I clicked on the linux and it says it cant do that. I tried the code that it gives under linux when you download it on the site. It didnt work either. How do I get it running? THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP! =D

What exactly does it say? If it says the file isn't an executable, make it one. If you don't know about chmod, you should be able to do this by right clicking the file, and setting it to have execute permission.

You need to make sure you are in the correct directory. Also, it is chmod +x gameEditorLinux. Since you don't seem to know how to use the terminal, I suggest the right click method I mentioned in my previous post. Have you taken a look at this post? http://game-editor.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=9913

I figured it out thanks! but I click the fullscreen thing and it freezes kinda and goes black except for the top and left side bar. How do I fix that?

That's a bug that happens when you maximize while it is loading. If it does that, try changing the screen size by dragging the edge of the window.

Do you mean fullscreen the game? Or fullscreen the editor? The bug I was mentioning only happens if you maximize the window, when your game is loading. It isn't permanent.

All Ya Gotta do is do the following commands: (this is case sensitive
cd Desktop
ls
(Now you will see all of the files on the desktop)
cd gameEditor
(then use the chmod command and the ./gameEditor)
---If this does not work use the following commands-----
cd bin
(then use the 2 commands)
