Mixing Game.qvms

[Lonly]

I have a quick little question. Can you just copy one qvm into another and it will work??? Also i have some admin.dat problems i tryed everything but level 1000 has less commands then level 999 and level 999 flag is !*@ and level 1000 flag is *. Why does level 1000 have less commands???

[David]

No.
And your problem is because you are using stupid numbers.  You can have up to 25 levels in the range -9 - 99 (I think).

[Undeference]

looks to me like you can have 32 levels numbered -2147483648 to 2147483647 (i'll let you figure out the range if you use gamex86_64.so...like me). but there was previously an issue where levels that took more than 2 characters to represent would cause issues with !listplayers. that has since been fixed

if you want level 1000 to have the same permissions as level 999, you will have to set them the same. just because it is a higher level does not mean it automatically gets the same permissions

also another question how to you make a game.qvm

[Bomb]

You compile the source code. It would be a good idea to use the most recent SVN revision.

If you're running Leopard and are using SVN 1053 or later, apply this patch. Although the problem may have been fixed by now.

[EDIT] Leopard now compiles QVMs just fine without that patch.

i dont understand any of that...how do you just make a game.qvm>>>

[Bomb]

I just told you.

These stickies have tutorials on compiling the source code. If you're on Linux, you should already know how to compile things.

Either you compile it. Or, if you'd like to change things you need to prep your c coding skills and actually program something. And then compile it.

Okay let me explain combining qvms:

You put the:



In the:




And you:




'em both together.


Okay?

[Bomb]

You forgot the coconut pic.

[KamikOzzy]

Hmm, my original one musta been too big. I'm not elite with HTML picture-sizing so if any moderators want to shrink that lime feel free. Thanks for the notice, Bomb.

[Bomb]

I'm always happy to help people post coconut pictures.

Side note: I think we scared the OP away.

is this because it is simpler on linux or you have to be smart to use linux?

you have to be smart to use linux? 

Haha!

Neither. It's because a lot of Linux software is only available as source code and you have to compile it yourself.

[David]

Its also easier on Linux.
Assuming a non-minimalistic distro, most thing can be compiled by typing make.  Trem might need a few libs installed first, but is just as easy.
