Multi platform Publishing

[YouGroove]

Will LE3 users be able to publish to any support ?

I mean for example for Windows users be able to publish to Linux also.

It's presently not set up exactly like that, but is pretty easy to do if you just copy the executable. Workshop games are always cross-platform.

Where is that executable found in the Project folder? (I use Visual Studio.)

 

Workshop games are always cross-platform.

But this requires players to own Leadwerks and is Lua-only, correct?

If you're using C++ you need to compile on each supported platform.

If you have Lua only and youe are using Windows can you publish a Linux version ?

Usually at the root of your project folder there is the windows-executable which has the ending ".exe" (e.g. if your project is called "test", this file should be "test.exe"). There should also be a file with the same name but without the extension (e.g. just "test"). This one is the Linux-executable, I guess. You only have to run this one instead of the ".exe".

When you create a new Lua project, the Windows and Linux executable is added to the project. So if you zip that folder up, you have a cross-platform distributable game.
