COB compiling under linux ?

[Cremuss]

Hi,

I would like to compile COB file under linux but it seems to be not possible.
First there is no linux dedicated software so I've to use wine but no one is working.

I've tried Scriptor, Brain and Servo. All fails. Then I've tried Cobbler which runs well with wine, but it crash sometimes when I load .bos file and compile doesn't seems to work : .cob file compiled are empty o_O

So, any chance for linux users to compile COB ? Anyone has already compiled COB file well under linux ?

P.S. : I'm gonna jump over the window if I can't

Seriously ... ?
So Spring engine is cross plateform but using it to makes mods/game is only for windows just because linux users can't make animation scripts ?


Common guys, that's a no-sens.
I wish I know coding so I can make scriptor running on linux but I don't. :/

The script compilers currently in existence are not affiliated with or controlled by the Spring project, and the script format is based on TA's which was a windows-only game (well and macOS), so there was no reason for the compilers to be crossplatform when they were written ...either use vmware or a windows box or bother lurker more to finish his compiler.

You could always ask people to compile it for you.

and linux people tell me how linux can run anything windows can.....

Well whoever said that is a moron.

It is a well known fact Linux runs different to Windows.

Linux usually has equivalents that work great, some actually better, but a lot of the time there is nothing.

Have some wine =p

Hes already said it doesn't work right when drinking WINE.

[AF]

I just thought he should relax thats all =p

Theres always vmware etc

@ Peet : Ok I understand. I've asked Lurker about his compiler and he said me that he didn't worked on it recently and it's more a concept actually than a quite working software. But it's good that there is a least one existing project. Good luck to him : D

@ clericvash : haha :=)

@ AF : yep maybe i'll try a virtual machine.

tbh I would think a lua based scripting mechanism would be far easier to implement than rewritting cob compilers.

Even someone building a cob file that serves purely as a go between for lua <-> cob would be an improvement and something we can pick apart taking bits and implementing them in pure lua.

trepan worked on luabased UnitScripts (running in the luaRules enviroment). It's his big lua patch (~800kB IIRC).
With some luck it will be in 77b2, but atm trepan works for bzFlag again :/

This is why 'working in the dark' and 'surprise patches' are all bad working practices. BRANCHES FTW!!!

[imbaczek]

for branches to work, you need a good dvcs, otherwise bitrot kills the branch pretty quickly.
