Mu running in linux...

[mkt]

Tested with Ubuntu+GNOME
You need wine. Get wine here:

You must be registered to see links

Install WINE

make a folder called whatever you want.

make a folder called muclient or whatever you wish to call it inside the first folder

In GNOME just right click your Desktop and create a new "launcher"

Call it connect?

Make another one.

call it launch?

In the command (in connect) use this:
wine "where-ever your client's main.exe is located connect /uYOURIP /pYOURPORT"

such as:
wine "Z:\home\USER\Desktop\mulinux\muclient\main.exe connect /u127.0.0.1 /p0000"

In the command (in launch) use this:
wine "where-ever your client's main.exe is located"

such as:
wine "Z:\home\USER\Desktop\mulinux\muclient\main.exe"


Change the paths in connect and launch so that it will fit into where you have placed your client

Remember to change the IP and Port.

Double-click connect
Then double click launch.

Enjoy!

Do you think linux will make the server alot laggier than any other pc versions?

This is currently client emulation.

You may however try to port MSSQL trough codeweaver's software.
And yeah, running an MSSQL server emulated in linux will not give the same perfomance.

You will have to wait untill sky-team releases their emu which will run in MySQL?

About the client:
you should use an installer which will add the resolution reg files.
I have not tested it's perfomance on my stationary computer, just my laptop which has some weird not 100% supported ati drives.

[nevienc]

lol.. nothing new

I thought u were talking about running a server on a *nix plattform, running mu client is made with wine or winex.
The only way I imagino to run a server on *nix is with something like a virtual machine for *nix

SkyTeam Server will run over MSSQL and/or Firebird (support for any of those DBs will be provided with final release)

Cool!

Guys...look the Windows API at Wine, need a lot of APIS, still in BETA, with CO 5.0 dont work, on all versions of Linux /Wine Mu die, run 1 time or die.

This is VERY VERY beta, the client its coded with too much apis of Windows. and Please dont try run MSSQL, that is VERY stupid. Who know about Linux know this.

use cedega if you want to run Mu client on any Linux distro.i tested it on xandroz and it works.not as smooth as running in windows but its worth a try.

Well, I tested it by running Codeweavers CrossOverOffice pro using SUSE 10.
Installed the client as in windows with CrossOverOfficePro. (You have to BUY this application)
entered /home/user/A USER/.cxoffice/DMuO/windows/regedit.exe
(DMuO = the bootle name)
manually added the reg files. (resolution windowmode, etc)
Started the main.exe which in this client was the file which connected to the server.
Then started mu.exe which is this client is the main mu client file.

This is the result, running as native as in windows:

How easy and cool =D

MSSQL !
MSSQL sucks!
MySQL is so much better.

They can code it in linux and use it in windows with cygwin... =/

I managed to get the SkyTeam launcher to "work" aswell by installing IE6 and DCOM95 into the same "bootle"; however the application hangs at the splash screen. It might work without the splash screen though.

Nice man... good work.. tnx

 

[nApSt3R]

way too old. and not working well. and clients only not server.

maybe you can run game server on a linux system and only have an emulated win2000 for the mssql system, you connect them trough the virtual network.
