.NET Framework Question

If the Nightmist client were to be re-written in Microsoft .NET, would this cause any problems to you?
The reason I ask is that in order to run any program written in .NET you need to have the Microsoft .NET Framework installed on your computer. It's about a 20mb download.

I don't believe it would cause any problem. What are the benifits/downsides to rewritting in Microsoft.net?

Just means you need to install the .NET Framework, which is like DirectX, just an application that is used to run programs written with the .NET framework.
The advantages of this means that I can write the client myself, taking some of the burden of programming from JLH, and that since its an object oriented language, I can add lots of nice features.

Cant you just make the .NET framework download with Nightmist?
Either way the change would be for the better so the small extra download would be fine.

How exactly will it coexist alongside the nightmist client? Would we notice any design changes, etc.?

I'll be enlisting the help of probably Isyng as he's been the most valuable person in aiding the development of nightmist since he was first invovled, and he seems willing to help. The plan is to produce a much more aesthetically pleasing client that fits more in with the theme, with better access to stats, inventory and with new and more useful features.

Would this mean under going a reset?
or would the game stay as it is justnow and just the cleint being changed
or is this a way of the game changing and changing the balance of the game without directly saying that it will be in for alot of change?
what im asking i guess is with changing to the .NET Framework will the game have to under go a reset for this to happen?

Its just lines and numbers, it's not aesthetically pleasing at all, even with the various skins. think of any game you've played, like Neverwinter Nights or Baldur's Gate as a prime example - how do their menus look? :-p
No reset.

i'd say 3d games require 3d clients and since this isn't 3d a text based client would be enough. lol don't get me wrong i sure don't mind having a better client but i don't have any problems with the current client

Well if its no reset im down for anything that will make the game better
NWN has a nice layout
So the game could prgress onto 3D imaging at somepoint then if swapped over onto .NET Framwork
Would it allow 3D imaging capabilitys along the lines of D2 and NWN from a devolopment point of view?

I'm not going to fiddle with 3d imaging for Nightmist as a 2d client, it is too much effort for little return. It's important to capture the attention of new players, and a more friendly, easy to use and visually pleasing client will make that more possible.
