Obsession

A Hotline client written in Qt featuring Shift-JIS support and other stuff.

The Obsession Hotline client aims to be a modern alternative for Windows and macOS users. It supports Shift-JIS encoding for Japanese users or for browsing Japanese servers. It is written using Qt and should compile and work out of the box on Windows, macOS and Linux. Check out other clients in the Hotline Wiki.

Downloading and installing

You can get release builds here.

Building

You might need to download and build/install Qt 4.8.7 for your platform.

• Download this repository and unpack it.
• Create a build directory inside the directory where you unpacked the source if it doesn't exist.
• Run qmake -config release ../Obsession.pro from the build directory. This will generate a Makefile for you.
• You can then run make (or nmake, etc. depending on your build setup) normally in order to build your binary, which will appear in the build directory.

What doesn't work

Posting news is not implemented. Folder uploading and downloading isn't either.

Note this is an alpha build, it's pretty stable but may lack some features. Use this program at your own risk. Should you find any bugs, please post a bug report.
