I'm well aware of the differences, you need to read on. http://www.amxmodx.org/why.php#amd64
There is a slight dig at amx but the important bit is: However, Valve has stopped maintaining their AMD64 support -- the latest AMD64 engine is missing client cvar querying and VAC2. Furthermore, the JIT is not available on AMD64, meaning a great deal of potential speed is lost. Running HLDS on AMD64 in 64bit mode is unadvised except for debugging/developer purposes. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of aprand Sent: 10 July 2006 21:04 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] 64 bit support Tryed to send this 2 days ago and it came back for some reason..... Your Quote: "AMD64 Support - One of AMX Mod X's biggest contributions was a 64bit port of the Pawn/Small compiler and virtual machine. In fact, AMX Mod X was the first Metamod plugin to achieve AMD64 compatibility. AMX Mod does not run in 64bit mode." It actually says AMX Mod doesnt run in 64 bit, not AMX Mod X. Not sure if this is a typo, but after it just stated "AMX Mod X was the first Metamod plugin to achieve AMD64 compatibility" seems inappropriate for it to state that it wont run in 64bit mode. I'm sure you realize that AMXMod and AMXModX are 2 different mods, so maybe this is AMX-X knocking AMX? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rikard Bremark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 3:45 PM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] 64 bit support > This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > well uhm, you don't run 64 bits cs (1.6) i don't think no one are hlds > just jumps back to plain 32. > anyway i know that this question has been up before, but how to activate > VAC2? is it a parameter > like Henrik S asked? > ------ > //Rikard 'Zapy' Bremark > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Warzone Short Valley - Warzone.nu > > > Saint K. wrote: >> Hmmmm, thats well shitty.
