I was trying to run the freeware game Katawa Shojo, and I cannot run the Katawa Shojo.sh file. One problem is that when the filepath has spaces (it comes in a folder 'Katawa Shojo' to start with) it trunkated it to the first space in the error message. After renaming the folder and file, it does not even give an error message.

I have the same problem with maptools. Hence the pattern with .sh files.

Edit: Tried from the terminal, I got this.

usr@compy:~/Desktop/Games/Katawa Shoujo$ sh Katawa\ Shoujo.sh

What are you using to launch the .sh file? – Paul Jan 13 at 0:11
I just double clicked it, right clicking says 'Open' and then the names of text editors. If there is a way to switch the default to something that works well that would be an answer. – spriteless Jan 13 at 0:13

Well you could try running it from a terminal session. cd /path/to/Katawa\ Shojo ./Katawa\ Shojo.sh – Paul Jan 13 at 0:16

I think your assumption about spaces and .sh files is wrong. This game obviously has a bug, or your installation has problems. See: ks.renai.us/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=3331 – slhck Jan 13 at 0:36
Huh. Redownloaded it and now I am going just fine. Thanks y'all for the help. Paul especially thanks for telling me how to get it in terminal with front slash. – spriteless Jan 13 at 0:45
