How to Zero-k on Linux

You need to disable engine version checking in .springlobby conf or somewhere like that.

You need 91 engine version compiled and pointed to(seems to already done)

Also if you get sick somehow of springlobby I suggest you to use notalobby.

To solve your problem with the error, set DisableVersionCheck to 1 in the file springlobby.conf which is in the folder ~.springlobby. It may still give warnings about desyncs but you can just ignore that because it will just play normally.
It might just be me, but i have found that weblobby is awful to use; its slow, hard to use, unintuitive and the interface is ugly, but as i say it might just be me.

Well I didint tried weblobby, because it requires java in browser thats really huge minus in my opinion, if it would be standalone-java it would be 10 times better.

Weblobby is not working for me, i got java 6 and 7 installed but in all browsers it automatically redirects to downloading java.

NOTA Lobby is great, seems better than ZK Lobby to me. Sadly some moderators were insulted that it (as closed source) is linking unitsync library (which is against spring licence, ut who cares??). The guy who is making the lobby typerd that he will write his own unitsync library.

- snip apologies to notalobby devs, i still wish you released sources someday :p -

If you can you should use either: zklobby, weblobby or in worst case springlobby (yes i dislike you springlobby, you memory-leak hard).

Edit: it appears I'm wrong regarding notalobby.

Ivica, you might wanna check the pipe, cause there isn't just tobacco in there ;)

The notalobby deves never agreed to releases sources, and said from the beginning that it was closed source. No amount of butthurt is going to change the facts.

There is nothing shady about the notalobby devs. They prefer to keep their source closed and that is perfectly within their right.

I would be willing to bet that you probably don't even know how notalobby infringes upon the spring license... Well allow me to enlighten you. Spring has this thing called unitsync. Think of unitsync as a gateway into spring. It allows you to see datadirectories and all kinds of cool stuff.

Now, because notalobby relied on unitsync for spring to pass along information, this means that because unitsync/spring is under a GPL license, anything that links to it must also be GPL. So, by circumventing unitsync, notalobby is no longer in violation of spring's license.

ZKLobby actually bypasses unitsync altogether (It's own implementation). Does that make Licho shady?

Don't smear other developers when you don't actually understand what is going on (especially when you yourself are a notalobby user...).

Edit: Also, you are crazy. SL doesn't have a memory leak.

quote: and that is perfectly within their right.

That's called doublethink, and it's doubleplusgood.

Ivica How could those of us who do not understand the development side of it very well help? It looks like the things on the ToDo list are to be fixed and not to be found, would testing in the "TEST: latest game version" room still be useful?

The most effective: come play with someone and maybe or not bots. If some glitch occur remember what you and others did and try to repeat it. If it occurs again - excellent.
That's the most basic stuff.

In short: play test versions occasionally.

Only reason why I dont like notalobby is when they will lose interest or any other reason to develop notalobby and something new will be in unitsync it will be good as dead.

Besides that it is very good lobby.
