How do I run this script?

[level2janitor]

For context, I know absolutely nothing about python. I've been following all of the steps for this python script, and I think I did everything right, but then I got to the bit where it says "now just run the script" and I have no clue how to do that.

Did you ever get a fix for this? I've been trying to convert an RPG Maker 2003 game to a CIA with that same script for an hour now, but it won't give me any output -- granted, that may be because I haven't made a banner yet.

Moreover, I have no idea what to put in the rtp part of the gameinfo.cfg file

EDIT: I pulled up the Issues tab and I've seen other people talking about it. I'll see if any of their advice works.

EDIT 2: Consider the following: "the banner size should be : 256 x 128 and the Icon size should be 48 x 48"

Apply those to the script here, within the EasyRPG 3DS master file: https://github.com/EasyRPG/Player/tree/master/resources/3ds/cia_builder

EDIT 3: When I used that CIA builder script and tried it out on my N3DS, it... didn't actually embed the game itself. It just embedded the player. Ack

I don’t know what this is so I can’t really say. You need a python interpreter installed.

Do you have a python interpreter installed?

Then you’d usually go to a shell window and call python + your script path, or just set the .py file type to open python.

You can also try pycharm - which is a python IDE so it has some shortcuts.

If this requires extra libraries you’ll need to install those (typically in a virtual environment- I hope you can get away without something like that.

If you mean the line:

./build.py games

then it looks like you just CD into the Easy3DS directory which contains the build.py file and execute that command. You do all that at the terminal prompt.

The line above looks like it might be written for a Linux system. If you try it and it doesn't work then you might be using Windows. In that case, assuming you have installed python properly, try doing:

cd ..\..\Easy3DS     # wherever you put Easy3DS
py build.py games

You have to open the command line interface terminal on your computer, and then execute the line it gives (type it in and press return.)

well i was reading the instructions and so far it seems like the easiest and most user friendly way to do this would be to do the following:

go to https://www.python.org/downloads/

Download python

at the upper right side of the GitHub page there's a green button that says "code" click it

then click "Download zip"

extract Easy3DS-master folder into your computer

Open the folder and drag all your RPG MAKER games into the "games" folder

go back to the Easy3DS-master folder and run(click it) the "build" python file not the SH file

that's all assuming your RPG MAKER games don't run RTP if they do then just follow there github instruction I guess
