You don't need to email anything, the source is available here (bottom of the page, red button).
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).

Hey I LÖVE LUA, I couldn't quite understand you, perhaps you can email me a private video of doing this. My email is mariomegaman671@gmail.com

You just need to double-click it
You'll also need the correct version of LÖVE (depending of what version you want to use). So, in main.lua, you'll find a line starting with

Code: Select all

versionstring =
if the line ends with "version 1.0se", then you need 0.9.X. If not, then you need 0.8.0.
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 know, I just wanted to avoid him to have to search for the correct version

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 ?

My server's struggling so the image might take a while to load
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)

Wait, I can't extract Mari0. How do I do it?

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.)
