Congrats! Looks nice, can't wait to look at it!

I don't know if there is any, but you're certainly welcome to make one of your own.  If you've just come to the project, Christopho has many tutorials for the engine on his youtube channel here.

Editor is now in the github repo.

Adding this to the games DEB packages... It does install the change, but only to the root user. I'm going to leave the add command in, but it won't appear to do anything for end users.

Yeah! Looks good. Uploaded 1.5 to the ppa, it's getting processed, working on the editor and games update.

Christopho, just poking around the Ubuntu documentation.  Snice it's an Ubuntu PPA, the whole url can be replaced with ppa:nate-devv/solarus.

Solarus is available in the nixos-unstable and nixpkgs-unstable channels for the Nix package manager. The editor is pending review on the nixpkgs github repository (at the time of writing), and should enter the above channels shortly.  They are not present in a release channel for NixOS, but should be available for the next NixOS release.

Testing the 1.5 version is really fun and I like how the GUI Launcher works. I was wondering if there was a way for a quest to load itself into the GUI Launcher. That would make it easier for end users (at least on platforms with package managers) to install the main executable and the quests they want and play and then just use the main executable.

Got a snapshot for Ubuntu as well. Solarus is publishing, and the quest editor is on it's way. https://launchpad.net/~nate-devv/+archive/ubuntu/solarus-dev

I just updated the download page here for Ubuntu: http://www.solarus-games.org/engine/download/
I think the instructions are okay but you can check

I'm pretty sure those instructions will work.

About Debian, I am not sure, what are the download instructions I just put?

I put some directions in the forum post, maybe a link there will suffice? I tried to make a shell script for it, but it wasn't working. Maybe I can try again and get one up that can be linked to.

I found this issue using the 1.4.5 editor packages and the 1.5.0 pre-release editor packages. Can anyone reproduce?

feng_ye: sorry for not getting back to you quickly.  In case you haven't already seen, I've set up a launchpad Ubuntu PPA at https://launchpad.net/~nate-devv/+archive/ubuntu/solarus in response to the bandwidth issue that I had been having with the packagecloud.io repository.  If you still want to install packages, this is now the way to do so.

Yeah I figured that as well. It works on my machine, because I've also compiled Solarus, but the PPA servers use chroots, so they need every single build dependency explicitly specified. The PPA took my editor package, finally! The pre-release 1.5 Solarus and Editor also compiled correctly in the Dev PPA, so that's good news as well.

In the dh_auto_configure command, the -DSOLARUS_LIBRARY=x86_64-linux-gnu/libsolarus.so looks wrong. It should be an absolute path.
I don't understand why it is like this, because the debian/rules file does set an absolute path.

Ironically, commenting out the dh_auto_configure override allowed the package to compile on my computer. Go figure. I uploaded editor packages to the PPA, but they failed. The relevant error is

Here's the full log.  Interesting that you can't reproduce it, let me see if the PPA doesn't do that as well.
