Title: Compiled bytecode.
Post by: Phenax on July 10, 2006, 11:33:53 pm

Hello, I am having a problem. When starting up, Tremulous states that there are no bytecode compilers for my architecture (x86_64), and then it goes and uses interpreted (Slow, buggy).

I'm on Linux, x86_64. Icculus states that with GNU tools, you can compile the bytecode on x86_64. Help would be appreciated, from the laggy-ass warning-spammed playing I've had, it was pretty fun.  :)

Code: [Select]


Loading vm file vm/ui.qvm...
...which has vmMagic VM_MAGIC_VER2
Loading 1075 jump table targets
Architecture doesn't have a bytecode compiler, using interpreter
ui loaded in 5790560 bytes on the hunk


I'm on your IRC Channel, if you'd like to help me thar.  :D

*NOTE*
I'm compiling this myself.

Well,... sigh.  Ok well I am associate linux person so I help.

Here's to do:

First use /make sh ++i -u compile_all

Now prompt asks you quesitons like 'how does file want to be?'

you say '/sh conf^ shellscript activex component create IE7'

Once you have complied your new webs berowers you can now donloads real toolls like visual basics from Microsofts:

http://wwww.ww..visualstudios.com

Run virus checks!

Now, go to start -> programs files -> visual basics profesisional edition

now click file -<> open

now go file _> run all

Now it worsk let me know if itdesont'?

I will just download x86 binary.. There are no x86_64 bytecode compilers.

Well, I just compile it with GCC. Ignore the German..
Anyway, my problem was that the game was being interpreted because x86_64 doesn't have a QC interpreter.

mmh..yeah. I see i have to be more clear.
I could compile it (just execute "make"). Then i got an executable and some other files, and i had no idea what to do with them. There was no install script for a "make install" or s/t. I suppose i have to merge/copy the executables to the datafiles, but i couldnt get it to work. Any help where i have to copy which files would be helpful...or a link to a howto.

Normally i'm not too dumb to compile and install a software...this seems to be a special case ;)

seems that you can move the tremulous.x86 executable to your game folder, manually, also you can move the cgame and other .so/.qvm files yo the base folder on your game, then create a vm folder, move the filere there, and zip that folder, rename that zip file whatever.pk3 will be loaded. Then rename the old vms.pk3 file to something else withouth pk3 extension vms.pk3_old so only your new stuff is loaded.

I am newbie on Quake3 stuff, and have just learned that this week-end :D

maybe theres a better way (editing script so make will place your files on the correct folder, who know?).

mmh, ok, i'll try that. Maybe i can come up with an installscript if there isn't any better solution to do this.

Theres a Quake3 forum for enginecoders here (http://www.quakesrc.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=20)
