yeah, those slashes are hardcoded. i believe windows will take either the back- or forward slash, so should be an easy fix.

Yes, that's what I meant with WinNT and successors being POSIX-compliant. I had a quick look and it seems that there is a Path I/O class in System.IO which gives you the directory separator char via (Alt)DirectorySeparatorChar. This should give the right character to use on non-Windows environments, too. I just had a try with DirectorySeparatorChar and AltDirectorySeparatorChar and both output a slash ("/") for me: Code:

---

using System;

using System.IO;

public class Test {

 public static void Main(string[] args) {

  Console.WriteLine("This is the DirectorySeparatorChar: " + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar);

 }

}

Will MapGen come out multiplatform also?

Mono does not recognize the assembly because of the depency on Microsoft DLLs. Wine chokes on MSVCP80.dll and MSVCR80.dll, even after installing them, I guess that's because my wine version is too old (I'm using wine 0.9.29). I can run it with Cedega 5.1.1, however. So if you want to run the MapGen then either get Cedega or a newer wine version than I'm using, then you can use the MapGen on Linux.

Thanks for the info. Or a vmware to run an emulation of winxp.

But no Id rather not. My 2 linux boxes are internet servers so I try to avoid gui and emulated environments. As kludgy as it sounds, Id rather do a nightly transfer from my desktop. Its more serverish (thats not a word)

eventually i will try and get mapgen to be multi-os. think i mentioned this before, maybe not.

P.S.: Since I'm getting the Dom3 server monitor tool ready for Linux / Mono, too, and there is the same trouble as here: Probably the best way of getting the full path for a file is to use Path.Combine. Example code:

Code:

---

using System;

using System.IO;

public class Test {

 public static void Main(string[] args) {

  string s = Path.Combine(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("HOME"), "test");

  Console.WriteLine(s);

  Console.WriteLine(File.Exists(s));

  Console.WriteLine(Directory.Exists(s));

 }

}

I didn't have any experience with C# so far, but it sure is nice, I must admit.

For some reason that doesnt work on my linux system.

Personally, since you have a config file asking for a path to a file, Id just add another option for the path seperator.

Or if I were to do a test I think it would be something like this.
can I see
./program.cfg
or do I have to look at
.\program.cfg

Gandalf, have you installed Mono? What does "mono --version" tell you?

If you have installed it, then running "mono Dom3UnitMaker.exe" should work for you without problems, except for lots of "Unimplemented: Control::set_AutoSize(bool)" messages.

[Gandalf Parker]

I didnt have mono installed, I do now.
And then I realized that the problem I had was with one of Ballbarians programs.

Im mostly waiting for the map generator. I dont have much need for the unit builder personally.

[paradoxharbinger]

hmm... might be useful, but relative paths are plenty for what im doing

thanks for the tip on the path separator character

also, should have expanded weapon and armor lists soon
