[Discussion] AlliedModders wiki page for transistioning from x86 to x64 for plugins/extensions
With TF2 x64 update looming closer, I figured we could perhaps brainstorm and setup page that would provide crucial information on migrating from x86 to x64 environment in SourceMod
Similar to this:
- https://wiki.alliedmods.net/SourcePawn_Transitional_Syntax
Things things such as dhooks are not yet ported over but I figured it won't hurt to have a bit of brainstorming about this.
Potential Future Subjects of interest:
- Installing x64 SourceMod/Metamod under previously x86 installation
- Updating Gamedata in x64 ( "linux64" stuff)
- Compiling previously x86 extensions under x64
- Updating x86 plugins using gamedata (sdkcall, storetoaddress, loadfromaddress, getentityaddress)
- Updating x86 plugins using dhooks
- Sample Extension but for x64
- etc.
Sample Extension but for x64
The sample extension's code already works on x64. The AMBuildScript needs to be updated to allow compiling for x86_64. This is already done in PR #2107
A lot of this is either trivial (eg, updating sourcemod) or still up in the air.
Regardless, i've started a page here: https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Porting_to_x64
If you would like changes and you don't have a wiki account, please put the requested changes in this issue and I'll try to include them
