SMBX2.exe not starting up on Linux using Wine

[EpicLemon99]

I have followed the instructions in the Linux_and_macOS.md and I have gotten the level editor working but the game itself won't launch. Using the command

Code: Select all

wine ~/smbx/SMBX2/SMBX2.exe

gives me this error: https://pastebin.com/Px5e4aLK

Also, trying to test the level in the level editor does nothing. I suspect it's because the game itself won't launch, but I could be wrong.

The instruction is outdated and I made an updated one (which should be available in future releases of X2), and for users who don't have the updated version, I posted it here:
https://wohlsoft.ru/docs/SMBX2/smbx2-fo ... cos.tar.gz

After downloading, unpack the content into the SMBX2 root directory, and open the manual again.

Forgot about this for a long time. Anyway, I downloaded the new instructions and extracted them into the SMBX2 directory. I followed every Linux specific instruction there, and since I'm using Arch, I also installed the lib32-libxcomposite. I also ran the install.sh file. But I got the same errors when I tried to launch the SMBX2.exe file. Trying to launch LunaLoader.exe in the data folder gives me this error:

I tried to test a level and launch the game from the PGE editor, but again that did nothing. This is from the log file

You should use the native Linux version of Moondust Devkit instead of the Wine-ran thing.

[EpicLemon99]

I tried to use the TheXTech version of the game since it's native, the game runs perfectly fine but I can't get the TheXTech-SDK config pack to work. I downloaded the latest laboratory version of Moondust and did everything said on this page: https://github.com/Wohlstand/TheXTech/w ... opment-kit . But when I choose the TheXTech-SDK config pack when starting the editor, it says that graphics directory does not exist. I tried renaming the items directory to graphics but that didn't help.

But when I choose the TheXTech-SDK config pack when starting the editor, it says that graphics directory does not exist. I tried renaming the items directory to graphics but that didn't help.

Two questions:
- Which version of Moondust Editor you ran? There was a little bug I fixed a few days ago, and I suggest you re-download the Moondust Devkit again
- Which directory you selected when TheXTech SDK asked you on the first run? You should select the assets directory (depending on which package you used, portable tarball or DEB/RPM installable).

I tested the use with the portable tarball version, but you are right, I must verify the work with the DEB/RPM installable version (you will need to select the assets directory at the /usr/share/games/smbx or /usr/share/games/aod), however, it doesn't contain executable, and therefore a thing will fail to be configured. I think I'll better extend the configure tool to automatically find the DEB/RPM installed version and ask to use it automatically.

So, for your quick fix, download the portable tarball version of TheXTech, and use it with TheXTech SDK, it should work 100%.

I got TheXTech working, I was trying to select a wrong directory. Still can't use SMBX2 though. If you mean that I should use the native PGE editor, then I am already using it.

I got the SMBX2 launcher to work using a 64-bit wine prefix, but after pressing Play I get the splash screen and then just a black screen. The game also launches when I try to test the level in Moondust, but there's still just a black screen and no sound. And yes I have installed the lib32-libxcomposite since I'm on Arch Linux

I think, it's now a new bug of X2, I made a little investigation: since the 10'th of June 2022, there is an update of LunaDLL.dll introduced that adds this bug. So, better to report it and wait for the update or a quick fix.

[EpicLemon99]

Where would I report it?

I already reported that to Rednaxela directly.
