Salutations everybody, I am Its_Stango. I wanted to mod Mari0 BUT I CANT FIGURE IT OUT!!!! I open up the LUA. files (beacuse I emailed stabyourself.net) with LOVE 0.12.0 but it says "NO GAME". So if you people can help me out, leave a comment, thanks! I really need the help!

First, hello and welcome to the forums.
Second,
Third, LÖVE 0.12.0 does not exist yet (you probably meant 0.10.2), and you need 0.8.0 to open Mari0 (unless it is the Special Edition where it needs 0.9.X (a.k.a. from 0.9.0 to 0.9.2) to run).
Forth, don't open the lua files directly, drag the folder with the lua files (or the zip file) on LÖVE (if the file has a blue icon and is called "[SOMETHING].love", you can double-click it).
And fifth, the title is wrong, you try to open the game, not mod it (unless you actually modified the game but you didn't mention it). And the section is wrong too, you probably want to post it here.
Hopefully you can understand me (because I'm not the best at explaining things).

Code: Select all
versionstring =
I would like to link it to you, but I don't know what operating system you are using (and if you are using Windows, knowing if it is 32bit or 64 bit will help too).

Right there is every single version of LÖVE. It'll take some searching, but you can find it somewhere in there.

I was responding to Stango, but anyway, we might as well give them a place to start. If they then find it overwhelming, someone can post the correct version, assuming they say their OS.

You mean this ?
If it's the case, then you need 0.8.0 (the error just says it requires another version, not necessarily a newer one)
And the folder is just the extracted source (and is the v1.1 of my mod by the way, so I can't share it right now)

Yes, it's that file. You need to show extensions to rename it from ".love" to ".zip".

it's still a .love file, you need to active "show extensions" (the same url as what I LÖVE LUA linked) then rename it to a .zip file, it should show it as a compressed file, not a LOVE game file

You might still be able to open it even thought you didn't do this (what Technochips and I linked). Try "Choose another app" and you should be able to open it with whatever archive manager you use (Winrar, 7-Zip, etc.)
