Hey there.

Legends Viewer is awesomely useful. In fact, just awesome. :)

There is one small thing that I'd like to see, though. Dwarf fortress is rather bipolar about language, it can't make up its mind whether to use English or not. :P Would it be possible to have more dwarfish alongside English in Legends Viewer?
i.e. Instead of ...

The Blunt Paddle is a civilization of dwarves
and
Kumil Ruledhandles is a female dwarf born in 34.

Could we have something like ...

The Blunt Paddle 'unaliden' is a civilization of dwarves
and
Kumil Ruledhandles 'iliderush' is a female dwarf born in 34.

I'm having a crash issue with 1.13.21, the gamesave is from 40.18. The odd thing is that a legends and worldgen info export from an ingame week ago and the initial export work fine.

http://sta.sh/09bpjcudbqg is the worldgen export files which are crashing.

I would love to see this working on Linux. I tried a few years ago with no success, as the distro packages for Mono were quite abysmal and I wasn't about to build the entire toolchain myself.  This time around things seem more mature and I am more dedicated. If it can't be got working, I'll likely start work on my own cross platform solution.

Here's a log of my attempt to get Legends Viewer working on Fedora 20 with a 40.16 generated world.

First, I installed the latest monodevelop and libraries via packages straight from the project, rather than relying on my very old distro packages.  The two I needed to grab everything were: monodevelop libmono-2_0-devel

After installing, I checked out the the latest git master and attempted to build it in MonoDevelop. A small tweak was required: rename Controls/Chart/dlgHF.Designer.cs to dlgHF.designer (Linux filenames are case sensitive).

It builds, but crashes on startup with the backtrace:

Spoiler: System.DllNotFoundException: user32.dll / SendMessage function (click to show/hide)

Based on the declarations here, user32.SendMessage looks to be a windows native function:

Code: [Select]
        [DllImport("user32.dll")]
        private static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);
        [DllImport("user32.dll")]
        private static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hwnd, int msg, IntPtr wParam, ref TCHITTESTINFO lParam);
To be portable, ideally, we'll need to find a managed code alternative, or at worst, special case a Linux equivalent. I'm not a windows api guru by any means, but it seems to be some sort of Window Manager action, whatever it is doing, it doesn't look mission critical. So I commented out all the lines referencing SendMessage.

Then the app builds and launches:

Spoiler: Empty Legends Viewer on Fedora Linux (click to show/hide)

But it doesn't work. When I load the XML file, it crashes in FileLoader.LocateOtherFiles()  because it expects windows path format with backslashes. As a quick hack I shortcut'ed the function, so I could manually fill in the values.

After some time the app parses the data and "Setup..." appears in blue. Clicking on "World Stats" crashes the app because the browser control isn't available.

Spoiler: libgluezilla not found. To have webbrowser support, you need libgluezilla installed (click to show/hide)

libgluezilla is the native backbone to the Mono.WebBrowser control. It replaces the IE Active X control, which of course isn't cross platform. Should be an easy fix, just install libgluezilla? Nope. The libgluezilla project is basically dead and abandoned. No major distributions still package the library, the github repo hasn't seen updates in years, and it reportedly doesn't build against the latest xulrunner.

That said, it looks like the project has been superseded by WebKit. Migrating to Mono.WebKit via the webkit-sharp native library is necessary to get the browser working. This is also good news for OS X users,  as WebKit has OS X support, and Parker has stated previously that the browser is the blocker for an OS X build.

Moving on, the World Map screen renders, huzzah.

Spoiler: World Map (click to show/hide)

Every other tab is empty though and clicking on any search fields results in a null pointer crash, probably because the data structures are empty.

Spoiler: Hist Fig Search Backtrace (click to show/hide)

Perhaps the file parsing is failing. Could it be choking on unix line endings? Perhaps it is something else.

Finally, I dabbled with getting a distributable binary of Legends Viewer built so we could do some proper distribution. cd'ing to LegendsViewer/bin/Debug and running:

mkbundle LegendsViewer.exe SevenZipSharp.dll -L . --deps -o legends-viewer

This resulted in a 13MB legends-viewer binary that didn't work unless the '7z64.dll' file was in the same directory (I forgot how windows, by default, loads shared libraries from the working directory first, crazy!). Bundling the 7z[64].dll assemblies by adding them to the mkbundle command resulted in  a IKVM.Reflection.BadImageFormatException. Presumably the mkbundle assembly parsing routines couldn't read the dll for whatever reason. Anyways creating an empty file "touch 7z64.dll" got the app started.

In the future to create a distributable binary, we'll need to fix that, either by sorting out the format error, or dropping 7z support, or using native 7z libs. Nonetheless, I have high hopes for creating distributable binaries for Linux users :D

That's all the investigation I'll do for today. Here's a tidy list of todos to serve as a foundational roadmap for Linux (and possibly OS X!) support:

  • Migrate to Mono.WebKit instead of Mozilla
  • Fix windows-specific path handling
  • Remove or conditionalize the native windows WM API calls
  • Make the GUI text more readable
  • Use a native theme to make it less ugly
  • Sort out 7z library for packaging

Parker147, shall I create these as issues in github? Would love to collaborate with you to get a working Linux build.

I'm watching this with interested, and will try to compile on osx when the source works on linux.

Hi!

I've also been experiencing problems with XML file. I did download the 13.22 version though.
