Also, if you don't want to go with C++, Java is an option. Java is always platform independent, although some tweaking may be required to look good on each platform.

Hello dconman2,
I don't mind using Java. I also would like to have a client that can "work" with GMR as well with others. That means implementing a server as well.
Currently I'm thinking about a simple activemq prototype. What do you think ?

Thanks Andruh! We have open sourced the new Windows client on GitHub here: https://github.com/n7software/MRobot.Windows

You can see the SignalR and API methods we use in the source for it. We hoped it would be a good starting place for developing a cross-platform client.

@bleissem: That's awesome! I had no idea you were working on a Linux client. Is it fully functional? We're not planning on open sourcing the server at this time.

Hello NullMaster,
the program works under Linux ( as well as under Windows with .Net).
So you can try it under Windows if you want to. It's "just" a little-90's-gray-looking-UI-Winform program.

By the way have you solved the bug:
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/multiplayerrobot/discussions/0/35221584535632078/
?

So I would like to help you with developing the Linux client, if you still need help.
Have you thought about continuous integration yet ?
Which tool(s) do you want to use for develop ?

Hello guys,
I developed a (very small) client for GMR at
https://yagmrc.codeplex.com/
I used .Net with WinForms, because it runs under Linux with the Mono framework.
Do you plan to opensource the server components too ?

Hello Tazzik,
has this issue been already been fixed ?
It occurs, when a Linux client does it's first move.

Hello everyone,
I released a beta 1 under

Thanks again for all your hints regarding the api.

Hello NullMaster,

I think downloading works (for me) now.
I still have a problem when I try to upload a game.
(The current turn is me.)
Here is a little code snippet that demonstrates my problem.(.Net 4.5)

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Text;


FileInfo savedFile = new FileInfo(@"c:\andsoon.Civ5Save"); // use the correct file
string myauthKey = "myAuthkey"; // use the correct authKey
string myturnId = "myturnID"; // use the correct turnID

using (WebClient wc = new WebClient())
{

byte[] response = wc.UploadFile(new Uri("http://multiplayerrobot.com/api/Diplomacy/SubmitTurn?authKey="+myauthKey+"&turnId="+myturnId), "POST", savedFile.FullName);

string str = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(response);

}

The result from uploading the file this way is always: "{"ResultType":0,"PointsEarned":0}".
That means that there is an error reported by the webserver.

When I investigate the traffic with a tool, I was able to see that the .Net Webclient clas itself adds a
Content-Length to the header:
"
POST http://multiplayerrobot.com/api/Diplomacy/SubmitTurn?authKey=XXXXXXX&turnId=XXXXX HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------8d17c0520950906
Host: multiplayerrobot.com
Content-Length: 462125
Expect: 100-continue
...
"

My question would be, can you reproduce that behaviour with the WebClient class ?
Do you suggest using a different way of uploading a file ?

Regards
Alex B.

Hello NullMaster,
thanks for your answer.
Just started to play around at
https://yagmrc.codeplex.com/
I have a question about the API at
http://multiplayerrobot.com/About/Api
GetLatestSaveFileBytes:
Is there an encoding that needs to be aware of (base64) or is it just downloading the byte array ?

Hello everyone,
Since Civilisation V is avaiable for Linux ( Debian, Ubuntu ) I would like to see the GMR Client running at Linux too.
I would like to ask if I can contribute to your software.
So I would like to develop a little Mono based Linux Client for the GMR and put that code under a opensource licence. So is the source for the windows based client avaiable or is there an sdk etc. avaiable to dig into the api / web calls ?
Regards
Alex B.
