The engine now boots into the login scene, renders via SDL/OpenGL, and
connects to a server on Linux. Brings up the remaining runtime pieces and
fixes the bugs that surfaced once the game actually ran.
Networking (.NET client library on Linux):
- Build MUnique.Client.Library as a native linux-x64 Native AOT shared
object and dlopen the .so instead of the Windows .dll.
- Fix the native-to-managed string marshalling: the client passes wchar_t*,
which is 4-byte UTF-32 on Linux but the library decoded it as UTF-16,
garbling the server address into a bogus IP so connect() hung forever on
the main thread (the apparent "black screen"). Decode by the platform's
real wchar_t width. Updates the XSLT template so regeneration stays correct.
Runtime fixes uncovered by running:
- Config was never read on Linux: the exe-dir split looked for a backslash
only, so config.ini was never found and every setting fell back to its
default. Accept either path separator.
- UI piled into the top-left: CInput::Create bailed on the null SDL window
handle before setting the screen size, so centered windows computed
negative positions. Set the size regardless of the handle off Windows.
- LP64 width bugs reading binary assets (size fields are 32-bit on disk, but
long/size_t are 8 bytes on Linux x64): pet.bmd speed array, BMD encrypted
size, camera walk-script waypoint count.
- Double fclose() of the same handle (filter file, object files): tolerated
on the old CRT, a double-free on glibc.
- mu_swprintf bounds the buffer by its real array size to stop a fortify
abort, and the GL frame can be dumped via MU_CAPTURE_FRAME for headless
verification.
Portable subsystems:
- GDI text backend backed by stb_truetype (CreateFont/CreateDIBSection/
TextOut), so UI text renders without Win32 GDI.
- Case-correcting path resolver so Windows-style asset paths resolve on a
case-sensitive filesystem, wired through every file-open shim.
- GameShop compiles on Linux: the UI and list managers build, only the
WinINet/urlmon downloader is excluded, with the download entry points
failing gracefully.
- Portable shims extended: StrSafe, Sleep/GetLastError, file attribute and
directory helpers, system-info for the crash log, and the Linux entry point
now calls the shared WinMain bootstrap.
