If you want a real porting, you first need to compile all the libraries under linux, then to compile the game and db themselves on Linux. You don't have a lot to change on the architecture itself, but be ready to potentially mess with FDWatch. About the client, you can't. You probably can run it with Wine though. If you want to natively use it on Linux, consider changing DX8 to something like OpenGL (which would, if done correctly, make the game better looking as well).

Possible it is but as @Gurgarath said, you'll need to drop the windows only libraries (dx8, which is not really easy to do) so you're better off running the game with Wine. There could be a way of implementing this with https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton with or without the steam runtime, but as I said, it's not really worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hik 108 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Metin, at least for now, will continue to be dependent on windows ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akronis 3 Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Hi guys, thanks for yours replies, you've been really kind. I found another guy who had the same idea of the one I wrote about in the first post, so we're now aiming to rewrite both server and client in modern C++, removing the unnecessary parts, add unicode support and also porting the former one on Linux.

Max. 0 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) It is better to work on improving the client, for example, to fix memory leaks that are so severe I don't know the server that would solve it, the problem has always existed Edited March 19, 2020 by Max.

Regards I've heard this many times. You are not really being realistic though, good luck in your project Spoiler P.s. WINE = Wine is not an emulator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
