Zero-K lobby in Mono?

sort
FireX 12 years ago The unstable release of Mono 2.8 and Monodevelop 2.6 supports .NET 4.0. Would it be possible port Zero-K lobby to Linux? I had no luck using Monodevelop 2.6(kept crashing). Would anyone else who has a Linux machine try to compile Zero-K lobby in Mono? while I wait for the stable.. +0 / -0
Licho 12 years ago Not atm because ZKL currently uses WPF which is not ported to mono. Older versions worked in linux. +0 / -0
Licho 12 years ago Someone would have to change top buttons from WPF to winforms again and do other tweaks. +0 / -0
Licho 12 years ago Oh also you dont need to develop in linux - you can compile on windows and then just copy resulting exe and run it with mono +0 / -0
FireX 12 years ago if I had a Windows OS... too bad. Oh well I will try to convert when the stable Mono 2.8 is released. +0 / -0
FireX 12 years ago Silverlight/Moonlight supports WPF hmm.. +0 / -0

NeonSturm 12 years ago Then we have to use VirtualBox? Why is this written in ".NET"? - that's MS-hit +0 / -0

FireX 12 years ago Well .NET 2.0 works in WINE http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2586 I also saw a folder called weblobby in the trunk.Anyone developing it? and what platform it going to be on? +0 / -0
luckywaldo7 12 years ago It's done in .NET 4 CarRepairer has made some progress on a web-based lobby, which would naturally be cross-platform because it is just running in your browser. It's written in .net because that's what everyone doing the code-writing wanted to write it in. That was what they were most comfortable with so it would mean the best and fastest results, as opposed to muddling through because they needed to learn from scratch. +0 / -0
Licho 12 years ago FireX older versions of ZKL worked on Linux .. they also were for .net 2.0 It can be found in this project http://code.google.com/p/summerspring/ +0 / -0
