Topic: [HELP] bam.. what?

Dude...

1) ./configure
2) make
3) make install

or

1) open browser
2) http://www.quakelive.com



....what is this bam ? things far more complicated than teeworlds can just be compiled with a simple Makefile... why this ?

geeez... i had 2 full servers but need to compile myself because the precompiled binaries wont run anywhere i tried them... this... this is beyond ridiculus... i even don't feel like trolling because it's even below that level of communication what i feel when i think about this...

Re: [HELP] bam.. what?

Stop whining. If you don't want to use bam, don't use it. We won't force you. But, keep in mind that you can't compile the server(s) then. The precompiled binaries should work, if you don't use any weird system like SPARC or PowerPC. Bam is in my opinion much better than makefile, because of it's flexibility.

Have a nice day.

Re: [HELP] bam.. what?

Maybe we can make this thread useful after all:
I tried to compile the refactored version but it seems like I miss something important.
I did the following:
* Compiled bam 4.0 -> ok
* Copied bam.exe to the refactored branch
* Made a batch file wich first calls the vcvarsall.bat so cl can be called
* I type "bam release"

And then I get the following error:

other/sdl/sdl.lua:2: attempt to call global 'PathDir' (a nil value)
bam: script error (-bt for more detail)

With "bam release -bt" ->

other/sdl/sdl.lua:2: attempt to call global 'PathDir' (a nil value)
backtrace:
  other/sdl/sdl.lua(2): chunk local
  [string "src/base.lua"](1007): Import global
  bam.lua(4): (null)
bam: script error (-bt for more detail)

I did not modifiy any files from the refactored branch.

Any Ideas? I like the refactored source code, it's so pretty and I want to work with it. sad

Re: [HELP] bam.. what?

are u sure u downloaded the newest bam from here: https://github.com/matricks/bam/
and are u sure u use the newest version of the refactor branche?

i think i had this error some weeks/months ago with a wrong version wink


btw... why did u copy the bam.exe into the refactor folder?

Re: [HELP] bam.. what?

because it's easier to type "bam" than the path to bam.exe... I just prefer it this way.
I guess I got the wrong bam version since I downloaded it from http://teeworlds.com/trac/bam. I'll try the version you linked.

/edit: Thank you, it's working now. smile
/edit2: Trying bam for my own project (not teeworlds related) now and I'm totally happy with it! big_smile
