Title: Anyone here using TJW's client on Debian-amd64?
Post by: zybork on October 22, 2009, 07:50:41 pm
I currently use the standard-client that comes with Debian for amd64, but this, well, no GUID, slow downloads, etcetera. I tried the client from tremulous.net's files-section, but they don't work, etc., so I ask myself if it may be possible that someone here already did that what I am about to do, that is using TJW's mod or something on Debian for amd64, because I really would like to know if this is possible at all.

Uninstall the package, install the main installer, and then install a modded client as per the instructions.
TJW's has a big out-of-date warning on it, so you probably want something newer.

You can install a new client over the package, but finding where the current client is hidden can be hard.

Use TremFusion (http://www.tremfusion.net/)!

tjw's client doesn't have proper 64 bit support, you can run a 32 bit client if you install 32 bit libgl and sdl, or you can use something like mgclient or tremfusion that are based on ioq3 versions with a working x86_64 jit compiler.

I fiddled around with 32bit-libs and such already, but for no effect.

I guess I will try tremfusion.

That or this (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=9858.msg150287#msg150287). Either should work for you.

Tremfusion did work. (It shreds X if you have compiz on, but that does not matter.)
