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..

Not atm because ZKL currently uses WPF which is not ported to mono.

Older versions worked in linux.

Someone would have to change top buttons from WPF to winforms again and do other tweaks.

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

if I had a Windows OS... too bad. Oh well I will try to convert when the stable Mono 2.8 is released.

Nobody has looked too far into it; if you can make stuff work on linux you will be a hero.

Can't we just mod the lobby to call a spring outside of "Wine" ( a windows emulator ) ?

Then we have to use VirtualBox?

Why is this written in ".NET"? - that's MS-hit

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.
