Feature request: remote connection #55

Open ccomly opened 5 years ago

Feature request:

Some form of remote connection, like http, or client to client. i am streaming the game to my laptop via steam inhome streaming,

so i cant access IA. Would be awesome.

If client to client, wine might work for IA for mac/linux clients cause im guessing .NET would not be compatible for trying to make native builds.

Altho there is mono should you be tempted to investigate. may not be feature equal.

Linux support for IA will never exist.

The primary reason being the core component of IA: CefSharp. It has no linux support, and without it, a non-windows port is unrealistic.

For streaming.. can't remote desktop to see IA?

i was suggesting a more simple connector to IA, not porting IA to linux. Essentially a relay.

There is no real way to "alt tab" between applications the way it works now, streaming autofocuses on the window/windows that include the executable, and some black magic regarding input, keboard / mouse / pad.

the idea would be to make it a client-server interaction. IA being the server running on the same computer as grimdawn, windows. No porting at all, but simply able to take commands remotely.

And the client running on the linux/macos along side the steam streaming client. sharing copy/paste clipboard etc.
