DescentBB

Does anyone know of a good d3 server browser for linux?

I did find d3.descent.cx, but I don't think it's the best.
Anything like vortex except for linux?

The Open Descent Foundation (www.odf-online.org) is doing such a project and we will release an open beta version in 1-2 weeks (which will also be announced here - if you want I can send you a PM then).

By the way, which Linux are you running and how would you rate your knowledge about it?

Yes, a PM would be great.

I am currently using ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty.(Later one breaks my video card)
I would say I have a competent/intermediate knowledge of it.
I know what I'm doing when I use it.

Thank you.

Hey D.Cent, it's exciting to see there's still interest in D3+Linux. I've been running Loki D3 for years, now.

I'm also interested in your game browser...

Running Arch here for a few years now, am pretty knowledgable with it (building custom packages, modifying source code, building kernels, etc).

Might I ask what you are writing the browser in? Likely python?

Thanks,

Hi xyon,

Nice to hear that people are interested in this software!

The browser is written in C++, using either Qt4 or GTKmm (builds with both). If you like you can already check it out since it is open source (license is GPL v3): http://odf.bzr.sf.net/bzr/odf/

You can check it out if you have \"bazaar\" (bzr) installed with the following command: bzr checkout bzr://odf.bzr.sourceforge.net/bzrroot/odf/d321go

Building works like this:
1.) Make sure you have either the Qt version 4 or GTKmm development files installed.
2.) ./configure (answer the question to download \"libodf\" with \"yes\")
3.) Let the script build the program for you (just answer the last question with \"yes\")
4.) Execute \"install.sh\" with root-permissions

If you should experience any problems or if you would like to give some feedback (very appreciated!), then feel free to send me a PM or an e-mail (my address is listed on our homepage, http://www.odf-online.org/homepage/imprint.php , \"D.Cent\")
