Torque3d x64 build patch
by Yuri Dobronravin · in Torque 3D Professional · 08/20/2013 (5:40 am) · 21 replies
Hi guys!
The project I currently work on requires a lot of memory so we decided that switching to 64-bit platform will fix the issue. Inspired by Dusan's post I decided to compile Torque3d on 64 bit platform.
Generally it wasn't that hard to recompile the code. But in a few places pointers were assigned to 32-bit integer values and that resolved in a crashes.
Here's the patch: DOWNLOAD
Just copy over Torque 3d 3.0 version.
It will modify Engine folder and 'Empty' template.
This version will compile for 32 bit version as usual.
All the changes in code are marked with
Beside it few files are excluded from x64 build (all *.asm files)
In linker settings DirectX changed to 64 version.
$(DXSDK_DIR)/Lib/x86 to $(DXSDK_DIR)/Lib/x64
So far it works good in Debug and Release mode for me, but more testing might be useful.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. That makes the X64 machine I just finished assembling much more useable. :)

@Yuri, I try to do a pull request next week.

I compiled the patch, and it seems to work properly. But it turned out that there is much more work to do than I thought. I'll try to find some time.
The first thing I have to do is make the Project Generator create files with support for win32 & x64 platform.

Has this been merged to the official master? 
#13
Partially, I replaced their on equivalent intrinsic-functions or added TODO.
ASM-files (specifically math) are excluded. Theoretically, asm good work when switch on LARGEADDRESSES:No in the configure, but if where is a sense in the x64?

I work on the project with the Torque3D and some fixes and refinements are waiting to be unleashed (if guys are curious, of course).

It is up to the community now.

There is no committee anymore, you can just hope for David Wyand to add some things in his free time, but he is not working on it officially anymore.It is up to the community now.
