Ask questions about one topic per thread, and use a descriptive subject. "NotImplemented error in script.rpy" is a good subject, "Tom's problems" is not. Remember to include all of traceback.txt or error.txt when reporting a problem, as well as the relevant lines of script. Use the [code] tag to format scripts.

None of my Renpy games work, unfortunately I have no idea what I have done to cause the problem. If any more information is needed please let me know. Below is my traceback for Moonlight, I will also upload the files that are mentioned in the traceback. Thanks in advance for the help.

Code:
I'm sorry, but an exception occured while executing your Ren'Py
script.

error: Unable to open a console terminal

After initialization, but before game start.

What sort of system are you on? Can you post the traceback.txt and log.txt, if any?

I am currently running Kubuntu 12.04 64 bit. I am using the proprietary driver for my video card which is a Radeon HD4670. The traceback.txt is in the code section in my first post, but I will attach it as well. I don't have any log.txt or error.txt. I hope this helps.

Can you try running:

SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 ./renpy.sh

?

You open a terminal, change into the directory containing Ren'Py, and enter that command. It tries to force a different video driver, one more likely to work.

Ok, I got the games working only after I put all of the games into my renpy directory and launched them through ren'py. Before I was simply unpacking the game and opening the script from the file manager. After I realized that the command
Code:
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 ./renpy.sh
actually opened ren'py (which I should have realized as soon as I saw it) I decided to put the games I have downloaded where the "default" (i.e.: the question) games go and they launched. I can now simply open ren'py and launch any game I want, but the sound doesn't work. I think I started having issues with games not working after I tried to get 5.1 surround sound to work properly with all of my anime videos. I can't remember the tutorial I followed off hand that may have caused the issue, but once I find it I will post it. Lastly on my computer ren'py is installed as renpy.py, so I had to change the command to suit. Thanks for your help.

I just downloaded the latest version of ren'py and ran the "SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 ./renpy.sh" command to open ren'py and got the following in my terminal:

Code:
ALSA lib conf.c:3314:(snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so
ALSA lib pcm.c:2217:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

I have managed to get things working somewhat. I can get games working simply by double-clicking the script for the games by installing lib32asound2, but I still have no sound. I also had problems with intro videos playing but that was cured by installing Kubuntu Restricted Extras. The trick to getting the videos working came from the following forum:

http://ks.renai.us/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=6320

The problem discussed here is identical to the problem I am having. I have also followed the proposed fixes to get sound back to no avail. However, I can run the windows version of ren'py through wine and get sound that way, but videos and transitions are a bit choppy so I would really like to play games through the natively in linux.

There's a couple things to try here. The first is to try installing the ia32-libs package, which includes things required to make Ren'Py work.

I just tried downloading Moonlight Walks to my Ubuntu system, and it started up fine.

Everything working fine now. Thanks. This saves me from having to reinstall. Lastly it may be a good idea to start a support section for people like me who know just enough to be dangerous. Though I have no idea how often this happens and how much there really is to screw up.
