change the framework to dotnet 8 inside the .csproj and also change the monogame version to the latest one or, if you dont want to use the latest version of monogame with dotnet 8 you can install dotnet 6 instead

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

it is that framework

paperClip•2mo ago

what do you see when you run dotnet --list-sdks

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

8.0.110 [/usr/share/dotnet/sdk] here's the csproj

paperClip•2mo ago

ok this looks like a content pipeline issue could you tempoarily remove <PackageReference Include="MonoGame.Content.Builder.Task" Version="3.8.2.1105" /> and see if it builds then add it back

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

that makes it build and adding it back makes it not build

paperClip•2mo ago

add it back and run dotnet new tool-manifest go into .config/dotnet-tools.json and change it to this

{
  "version": 1,
  "isRoot": true,
  "tools": {
    "dotnet-mgcb": {
      "version": "3.8.2.1105",
      "commands": [
        "mgcb"
      ]
    },
    "dotnet-mgcb-editor": {
      "version": "3.8.2.1105",
      "commands": [
        "mgcb-editor"
      ]
    },
    "dotnet-mgcb-editor-linux": {
      "version": "3.8.2.1105",
      "commands": [
        "mgcb-editor-linux"
      ]
    },
    "dotnet-mgcb-editor-windows": {
      "version": "3.8.2.1105",

      "version": "3.8.2.1105",
      "commands": [
        "mgcb-editor-mac"
      ]
    }
  }
}

{
  "version": 1,
  "isRoot": true,
  "tools": {
    "dotnet-mgcb": {
      "version": "3.8.2.1105",
      "commands": [
        "mgcb"
      ]
    },
    "dotnet-mgcb-editor": {
      "version": "3.8.2.1105",
      "commands": [
        "mgcb-editor"
      ]
    },
    "dotnet-mgcb-editor-linux": {
      "version": "3.8.2.1105",
      "commands": [
        "mgcb-editor-linux"
      ]
    },
    "dotnet-mgcb-editor-windows": {

      "commands": [

paperClip•2mo ago

ok you need to setup linux shader compilation this part is a bit iffy

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

uhhh how do I do that-

Setting up your OS for development on Ubuntu | MonoGame

This section provides a step-by-step guide for setting up your development environment on Ubuntu.

paperClip•2mo ago

this is for unbuntu, so it might be different on arch the Setup Wine For Effect Compilation yea its using apt might have to do it manually

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

all of that stuff was on pacman so it might be fine

paperClip•2mo ago

i forgot that was the name of the arch package manager

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

ok new error I think

message.txt

paperClip•2mo ago

i think its the same issue

paperClip•2mo ago

paperClip•2mo ago

it wants to use wine to run the shader compiler

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

I have wine though??

paperClip•2mo ago

did you do the other steps?

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

looked in winetricks and I cant find the d3d compiler nvm its there now uh how do I do that last one?

paperClip•2mo ago

do you know how to set an enviroment variable? /home/protogenposting/.winemonogame set MGFXC_WINE_PATH to that

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

ah ok

paperClip•2mo ago

tbh i forgot where that file is to set enviroment variables on terminal startup

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

bruh how do I set an enviormental variable I keep trying to set it but when I do printenv it doesnt show up there

paperClip•2mo ago

what are you doing to set it?

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

env MGFXC_WINE_PATH=/home/protogenposting/.winemonogame

paperClip•2mo ago

add it to the bottom of ~/.profile b/c otherwise its only for the current session add MGFXC_WINE_PATH="/home/protogenposting/.winemonogame"

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

ok I'm gonna try rebooting rq back from the reboot, that did not fix it

paperClip•2mo ago

did you add this

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

to ~/.profile?

paperClip•2mo ago

yes

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

I did

paperClip•2mo ago

the end of .profile what does say echo $MGFXC_WINE_PATH

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

nothing

paperClip•2mo ago

weird

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

I put it there though??

paperClip•2mo ago

i think this is the wrong file wait no just run export MGFXC_WINE_PATH="/home/protogenposting/.winemonogame" normally in terminal and then run echo $MGFXC_WINE_PATH

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

the echo works but the build still fails wait holdon OK SOMETHING ELSE IS HAPPENING IT BUILT YEAH

paperClip•2mo ago

WOOOO

Protogen PostingOP•2mo ago

ok now it looks like the only issues were the result of my friend so it should be good now THANK YOU

paperClip•2mo ago

yay looks like you guys put a lot of work into this game so far a ton of assets
