most likely unlike the rest of the people here, i'm a linux user, so i use the linux version of the game. but any time i try to start it up, i get the blue error screen

Code: Select all

main.lua:41: attempt to call field 'setDefaultImageFilter' (a nil value)

Traceback

main.lua:41: in function 'load'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

yeah, found that out on another thread. now i'm trying to find it since it's not available in the repos, and the love2d site is confusing on the lists. not to mention they seem to be only for windows builds

it should work straight from the binaries, the binaries are pretty much love 0.8.0 itself so don't bother downloading it.

Just make sure you extract EVERYTHING onto say... your desktop or something.

ok, got it working on the windows .exe file. bit of a hassle having to use wine instead of my native install

Edit: though now, only thing i see is the sprites of characters and ? blocks. the environment is completely gone

that is VERY strange... it should work fine on linux. Hopefully it is an isolated case.

love-unstable isn't in your repo ? maybe you don't have an appropriate distro. If you're running ubuntu, it should work

i've been running 10.10 for months now (i refuse to update any further) and the package manager only has 0.7.2 available. i don't see the unstable version anywhere, unless i need a ppa patch installed

Just add the repository ppa:bartbes/love-unstable

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bartbes/love-unstable
sudo apt-get update
