Runuo 1.0RC0 working under Linux + Mono - RunUO

ShALLaX · 07-24-2004, 06:13 PM

Just thought I'd let you guys know that it seems to be working fine. I have my client running in WINE, and the server running under MONO v1.0. The only issues is you need to look through the Data.cs file and check on the caseness(is that even a word?) of the files... by default OSI names them like "staidx.mul", but runuo looks for "StaIdx.mul" and we all know that Linux is casesensitive!

I'm running Gentoo linux, by the way. Hope this helps people out!

However, I am having problems recalling saved characters. I can see that its saving them in /Saves/Accounts/accounts.xml... but whenever I login, I just get the "Create a new character" screen. Also, I get disconnected if I'm idling it seems.

That's great news! I just need to download mono 1 and try myself...

Why would anyone use mono if it means 60 second compile time

The time that it takes to compile anything is directly related to the hardware involved as well as any other running programs, and at least it works.

Messiah2 · 07-24-2004, 08:20 PM

Because mono = linux... i have computer with linux (server) and i don't have with windows, so i need mono

No I mean I know for a fact a 2.4ghz computer took 60 seconds to compile on Mono.

Mono is just crap, main reason we don't suggest it.

Plus there are other issues.

Mono has a future but its not 1.0 at this point.

Quantos · 07-24-2004, 08:24 PM

I also just remembered that the compile time has to do with the kernel you are running. How tweaked and optimized is it?

Data.cs? Where is that? I know there is a datapath.cs file. And what do I need to modify?

Thanks.

There is no data.cs, he may be referring to datapath.cs.

Ryan tested Mono about oh 3 months ago maybe.

The compile times were way to long 60-90 seconds on the webserver.

Murasame · 07-25-2004, 01:45 AM

Compile time doesn't affect latency. So even if compile times were of 2 minutes, the latency would be the same for the players. Players don't care about compile time, they care about getting killed by lag or getting "Connection Lost" gumps.

Do what you want, at this point nobody in their right mind will say mono should be used

ShALLaX · 07-25-2004, 11:29 AM

Sorry, yes i did mean datapath.cs. You dont need to change anything in the file, just open it an look for the long list of files. Copy them all from your UO installation into your runuo directory (~/runuo for example). Then rename the files so that their names are exactly as written in the datapath.cs file and you should be able to get it up and running.

However, the bugs of losing connection and being unable to retrieve saved characters havent been worked on yet. I havent had time.

As for people badmouthing mono... what alternative do people who run real operating systems have?

Its been proven that windows can be just as good has linux.

If its buggy why put your players through that?

It is very strange! I have tried with Myrunuo and instead have see than the Odbc not work well with mono!

Same goes for Windows.

**David** · 07-25-2004, 06:41 PM

Mono may not be 1.0 yet but this sounds like it is getting a whole lot closer. I'll still run Windows servers because that is what I know, but I welcome the thought that RunUO (and therefore other .NET programs) will be able to run on other platforms. It will make RunUO all the more powerful and widespread.

And, this supports what we have said all along. When Mono is ready, it will work with RunUO--not the other way around. (Well except maybe for a few filenames and such.

)

I was talking about the .NET Framework vs Mono.

You cannot argue that Mono has bugs and that .NET Framework doesn't.

Anyone? Anything? Now i'm on this point too. Getting disconnected when idling and characters not being saved.

I think we should post it in a new thread.

Please don't start another thread, there is no reason to do so.

This thread is just fine.

That would be why we don't sugest you use Mono because you can't save

there are other reasons.

Basicly you cannot use RunUO on mono at this time.

If you didn't already, you might try editing Scripts/Misc/ZLib.cs and changing the lines containing DllImport( "zlib" ) to DllImport( "libz" ), and of course, make sure you do have the zlib library on your system.

What do you mean? What "libz"?

Don't worry about it, Mono is not ready to be used.

Mono is still VERY unstable !!!! not alone with runuo
