Ren'Py Desert Stalker [v0.19.4] [Zetan]

[JohnF95zone]

Hello

when i run it on linux /DesertStalker.sh , it says

DesertStalker-0.13c-pc/lib/py2-linux-i686/DesertStalker not found.

this game may not support the linux-i686 plateform.

how can we run this game on 32 bit PC.

it works on windows 32 bit, but not 32 bit linux. is there a way to fix that ? i have no 64 bit processor.

thanks for your help.

This game runs on Ren'Py 7.5.3, so you should be able to download the 7.5.3 SDK and launch the game using the SDK. If that works, then you could either stick to that approach, or build a 32-bit Linux distribution of the game for yourself so that you can launch it normally.

This is basically how I play Ren'Py games that doesn't have Linux build, but I am using 64-bit so I can't help with 32-bit, except the steps should be similar. In summary:
1. Find out Ren'Py version of the game.
2. Download the SDK for that version.
3. Launch or build the game yourself.

Hope that helps. If you need further assistance, you probably should be asking in special threads like this for example, or directly ask the game developer via the appropriate support channels, to avoid getting off-topic on this game thread. The moderator or uploader aren't expected to provide technical support related to the game.

This is exactly how I have solved that problem when some dev removes the files to run his game in linux.
After all, removing linux executables doesn't save much space on disk, just 22-25mb.

I usually do is download the corresponding SDK, the version is in the file "script_version.txt", and in the "lib" folder I add the folder with the executables, in my case -> py3-linux-x86_64, but for 32 bit it should be -> py3-linux-i386 or something similar.

You have to check that the new files are executable, then I also copy renpy.sh in the main folder and with that you can now run games without the need to use wine.

i will try to download this SDK

in my case it seems to be py2-linux-i686 (this is what was provided for this game in its zip file inside)

i am not familiar with launching games with SDK, i am just a basic linux user, i can only launch somes commands, and some basic .sh files. how can extract the games files to put it inside the sdk to launch it ?

Other way around, you want to copy py2-linux-i686 from the SDK's lib folder into the game's lib folder.

I looked in the game folder and it looks like the 32 bit Python 2 is there but it's just missing the binary, just like the error message tells you. I don't think you have to copy the whole folder, all you need to do is copy the renpy-7.5.3-sdk/lib/py2-linux-i686/renpy file from the SDK into DesertStalker-0.13c-pc/lib/py2-linux-i686/ and rename that copy from renpy to DesertStalker so you end up with DesertStalker-0.13c-pc/lib/py2-linux-i686/DesertStalker.

Hope that was clear enough.

your solution is a lot easier and worked, to copy just one file.

now the game works, for my x86 old computer. i had to do a chmod a+x on the Renpy renamed as DesertStalker. i do not know why this file in the SDK has not the executable attribute. Thank you so much DIqNiCoqcBsmOVbD

i do not know why the developers have removed the Renpy x86 linux 32 bit executable, it is a very small file 13672 bytes. it is quite unlikely they wanted to free some space.

For those who oneday as the same issue as me here is the executable to put inside /DesertStalker-0.13c-pc/lib/py2-linux-i686/ (remove or rename without the ".txt" extension)

My best guess is that you either downloaded the SDK in an archive format that doesn't store Unix-style permissions (usually ZIP or other historically Windows-y archive formats) or extracted without preserving permissions (AFAIK that's not the default when invoking tar x, you have to manually specify the option which I doubt you did on purpose).

Either way, I downloaded the tar.bz2 version, extracted the renpy binary and it had the correct 755 permissions (read write execute for user, read and execute for group, read and execute for other), just how it should be.

Again, just a guess, but it's probably a mistake or an oversight on the developer's part; there's no reason to leave it out deliberately like you said, especially when it's literally the smallest file in that folder.

Either way, good to know you got it working. Enjoy!

i have download the zip version of SDK, that is maybe why. linux is sometimes a deep pain in the ass.

yes thanks again, it works quite well on my linux suse tumbleweed i686 pc i hope than renpy new version will still support the i686 32 bit architecture

have a nice day

Love the game, I just hope we can impregnate the Queen soon.

Love the game, I just hope we can impregnate the Queen soon.

To do that Zaton will have to become something like a king because the queen is seen as a revered figure in zeta society and as such it is not suitable for her to be in a relationship with a man so for Zaton to do that he will have to become a very powerful force in the city. But yes impregnating her would really be enticing but I am more excited to knock up Kateryna and Ain.

I never thought, that I find a porn game that has great sex scenes in it and also have a great story.
Great job dev!

 

[SSJGOD]

Dev did his thing with this one. Unique and awesome game.

Can you be a sub or dominate the Queen?

 

[Bloker997]

Can you be a sub or dominate the Queen?

pretty much, wouldnt call it being sub but you can be less dominating.

 

[Massagecook01]

pretty much, wouldnt call it being sub but you can be less dominating.

you would have to be very sensitive to the queens sexual needs and wants because with one mistake it's off with your head.

naaaa we're wearing plot armor.

Wow this game is amazing, the artwork is at least 9/10, it's some of the best 3DCG I have ever seen in a vn. The world is just spot on, there are actually a lot of clearly impactful choices, although i noticed a good bunch that weren't impactful as well...

And the characters are... well it's a hentai game, so, you know, expect hentai game characters, but at least the character designs themselves are incredibly good.

The story is actually decent too, I don't know it seems increasingly rare for hentai games to have good story, it's usually a detail, but this is a VN, so the story is actually important, and it does it's job, I got really into it. Usually with games like these I skip like 90% of the dialogue, well, not in this one, this one was well written enough that it felt worth reading through. Although there are some minor grammar and vocabulary issues which could use a little bit of editing, hopefully before the final release. A good editor would make the story really shine just with a little grammar correction here and rephrasing there. QC stuff; but since it's a hentai game it doesn't technically n eed it.

I haven't finished it, just played a couple hours, but I am impressed with how dense it is in sexual content, a lot of games make you wade through like an hour of story before you get to the so very important sexy bits, and others make you grind for it, this game does neither, you can start putting your character's dick where it belongs right in the prologue, and u never have to actually stop doing it. If a hot new girl is introduced, you rarely have to wait long to fuck her (if you do there are extenuating circumstances, like she's the empress kind of circumstances, or she's for some reason not easily accessible for you)

Once it's completed, this will be a good contender for favorite VN style game for me, I've played heaps of them but my favorite is kinda still the very first I played, which was sagara family. This game in it's final form, I give it good odds of beating even that experience.

Although I can't help but comment that the option to have Ain as stepdaughter is really weird, since if she's your stepdaughter, but younger sister of your actual daughter, that'd mean your wife had to have cheated on you after you had your first one... And idk, protagonist doesn't seem like the kind of guy who'd let something like that slide.

This game was surprisingly good. I don't really know what I was expecting, but the most recent updates had a ton of effort put into them and it shows. Can't wait to see more - will start supporting the creator for sure.

 

[Scorpio3001]

Really digging this game. About how often does it update? Thinking of supporting the dev.
