Hi all,

over the past days, I've tried to compile the UrbanTerror server from the official (?) UrbanTerror sources on sparc/Debian Lenny. It compiled just fine, but then, after copying the zpaks and cfgs, I got a very strange runtime error:

oh you must have hit some obscure mechanic in the virtual machine code, understood only by the most vicious of hackers.


try #ioquake3 at freenode.

(generally try to build ioquake3 first with it (build with STANDALONE and run with +set fs_game q3ut4) and if it kicks again (which it may) try them)




ah, see google, some messages in relation to tremulous appear (also ioq3 based).

thanks, I'll try to build ioq3 and else ask the 1337-hackers for help!

(the google results were some bugs on ppc, where this warning with OP_BLOCK_COPY was repeated, but the game actually started, which in my case was not the case.)

Wow! Can't believe it...it works now using the official ioquake3.org svn r1757 source + URT files.

Actually, here's how you actually can run a UrbanTerror server on a non-x86 architecture (in my case sparc64):
1. Get a svn snapshot of the sources

svn co svn://svn.icculus.org/quake3/trunk ioquake3 -r1757

2. Edit the head of the Makefile to make sure you have it as follows:

ifndef BUILD_STANDALONE
  BUILD_STANDALONE = 1
endif
ifndef BUILD_CLIENT
  BUILD_CLIENT     = 0
endif
ifndef BUILD_CLIENT_SMP
  BUILD_CLIENT_SMP = 0
endif
ifndef BUILD_SERVER
  BUILD_SERVER     = 1
endif
ifndef BUILD_GAME_SO
  BUILD_GAME_SO    = 1
endif
ifndef BUILD_GAME_QVM
  BUILD_GAME_QVM   = 1
endif
ifndef BUILD_MISSIONPACK
  BUILD_MISSIONPACK= 0
endif

3. OK, now type in make
4. Wait
5. go to build/release-linux-sparc64 and paste the q3ut4 folder found in the UrbanTerror zip.
6. Now you need to copy the freshly built QVM and game .so's to q3ut4 - execute:

cp -r baseq3 client ded q3ut4/

7. Finished!!

Now you can launch the server like this:

./ioq3ded.sparc64 +set fs_game q3ut4 +set dedicated 1 +set net_IP 192.168.0.11 +map ut4_elgin

Just make sure to include "+set fs_game q3ut4"!

Have fun!

to go directly to q3ut4 edit the top of q_shared.h

OK, thanks very much for your help mitsubushi...now I've got a fully working UrT server on my little sparc machine.

PS: Also edited the head q_shared.h:

#define BASEGAME                      "q3ut4"
