Hi,
Yesterday I made a USB stick with Ubuntu 18.4 to test my game on Linux. But when I try to run ags64 or 32, nothing happens. (roll)
File run as program is selected.
I hope somebody can help.
It starts on Ubuntu 16 but there is no sound ???
And it doesn't work on Linux Mint 19.
Best I can do is offer to test the game myself. I don't have Linux Mint installed, but I do have 2 versions of Ubuntu on separate partitions.
It works on Linux Mint 18 and Ubuntu 16 but no sound.
On Linux Mint 19 and Ubuntu 18 no chance.
I guess I know why there is no sound on Mint 18 and Ubuntu 16. Its not AGS because when I want to play mp3 or mp4 songs or videos on my laptop, im getting the error:
Quotevideos requires to install plugins to play media files of the following type mpeg 1 layer 3 (MP3) decoder
I think if I install Ubuntu Restricted Extras, the sound will appear. Am I right? (roll)

I honestly can't answer that. Maybe someone more experienced can. The majority of the time I play AGS games via Wine, only playing the Linux version when someone makes the game using the Beta version of AGS.
I don't know if afraid would be the right word. I did watch part of Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter once...
But as a vampire wombat, I am closer to a vampire bat (mostly due to being a horrible pun).
;-D
I hope someone is more experienced here to answer that :-\
If the problem is mp3, then convert the files to ogg and see if that works. ;)
The 3 files which need to be flagged as executable are:
- the script that is named after your game
- ags32
- ags64
If you are running ags32 or ags64 directly, instead of running via the script that is named after your game, you might end up with no sound.
If you have no sound and you are running the script already, you might be missing the older ALSA components that are required, you can install these with:
sudo apt-get install alsa-toolsTo see any issues, you want to be starting the game from a terminal and not from a file manager. This way if the program fails to start it should print the reasons why.

Thanks for ur suggestion. But no, please. The game is finished and runs perfectly on Windows. I dont want to change anything. There are also a lot of sounds and music. I would need a month for that.

This step :) I didnt know that.
By the way, does anyone know how to change the mouse speed of the game on Linux? This speed=20 in acsetup? This auto_lock=1 is wierd, it dosnt have the speed of my mouse on Windows and Linux, its much faster.
