If you have any problem with Metamod+All-Mod-Support patch (1.17.1p7), please contact official support forum at http://koti.mbnet.fi/axh/

The official MM 1.17.1 did include some code from 1.17pX so it can't be all that bad ;)

i really could never get that thing to run, i suppose i could try it again later.

hullu: I never said it was all bad, you're an amazing coder and px is a very cool piece of work.

What's bad is that we only want to support one version of metamod, so volatile/unofficial versions cause complications, especially when it contains code as "hackish" as px's... (also, to be honest, I don't even understand some of the things done (such as the magic numbers used in the os-linux section)).

Plus, 1.17.1 works on AMD64

Yes, it is quite hackish but it works, something I learned while coding Cheating-Death. The hackish code only is used when map loads so it shouldn't be causing much complications (probably none). Anyway I started official support forum for MM+All-Mod-Support Patch for those who use px, so if there is any problem with MM+All-Mod-Support please give me details there.

Magic number 0x25ff is opcode for i386 "JMP [pointer-to-address]" presented as unsigned small. Hexview(byte array) would look like this for "JMP [0x4000ffff]": 0xff, 0x25, 0xff, 0xff, 0x00, 0x40.

I see, thanks for telling me this :]

Btw, updated the first post, read bottom ;]

[evilspy]

Thanks.

I'm going to do research on adding new export entries to dynamic libraries on linux, same way as done on win32. Would be less hacky ;)

is anyone gonna help me?
i need metamod 1.17 linux able to download on windows...

[DoubleTap]

Though I never have figured out why both versions are not released in a zip file, I dont know why your having problems opening the .tar file on Windows. I do think that file was named wrong and that may have been the problem (I think it was .tar.tar or something).

Here is the MM module only for Linux:

Vic/DT

Try rename your file, thats all I did to open the archive originally.

.tar.gz downloads fine on Windows.

Tarballs are the defacto compression format of POSIX systems so that is why they put the linux one like that. zip < targz < tarbz2
