Quick question

What language is the RunUO core written in?


Can RunUO run stablely through Linux?

 

[I Cheat]

It's C#. I don't know much about Mono (a C# implementation for Linux) so I'm not sure if it can run on Linux or how stable it would be.

 

[Nochte]

It's written in C# on top of .net 1.1. RunUO 2.0 RC1 runs on top of .net 2.0. It takes a lot of work, but the server can run on Linux using mono.

 

[Obs]

has anyone created a monoized ready to compile version of the RunUO source?

 

[Obs]

Also let me ask you something else


There are programs which in theory can convert C# code to C++.

if such a thing was applied to the entire RunUO source code and all the scripts... would it run?

You will need to check it out yourself

 

[Obs]

So we will.

 

[Obs]

But that also costs money, we are all on a budget. You think people will be willing to invest a couple bucks for the creation of a new RunUO distribution written entirely in C++?

Why would they convert something that works perfectly the way it is into c++? (Which wouild required tons of work because you dont have the framework behind it, meaning you have to code all of that as well)

To compile it on linux without having to use an emulated version of the framework.

But actually in retrospect I think the conversion would be a bad idea anyway. Not because of the work, but because of the fact that RunUO probably still makes use of a lot of windows DLLs and stuff.

screw it

 

[mordero]

No, it just uses the .NET framework. RunUO 1.0 will work on linux using Mono and once mono catches up with the generics, RunUO 2.0 should be able to run on linux as well (of course, you will still need to make some changes, but it will be possible).

 

[Obs]

What about all these myths of RunUO2.0 with Mono running slowly?

Does RunUO1.0 with mono give better results? What exactly has changed between 1.0 and 2.0 anyway? New Features or just bug fixes?
