Error: memory overwrite in Sys_Printf


hmmm, I searched at google for memory overwrite in Sys_Printf "quake"

and then I found this answer:
This error means you need to edit file sys_linux.c, procedure Sys_Printf, at or near line 89, and change text[1024] to text[4096] and recompile.

ok, here is my question - how can I recompile a kernel I have installed via apt ? do I need to recompile the whole kernel just for that ? Isn't there a cool trick to do ? anyway, If I must recompile the whole kernel, I want ALL the settings from this kernel .

thnx :razz:

[Mr_Grieves]

sys_linux.c seems to be a kernel source file.. If you will need to compile the kernel, you'll need to download the kernel source to be able to do a compile of it. It's available with all the other stuff via Synaptic ;) You'll also need build-essentials and some other stuff..

damn, recompiling :???: anway - thank you very much :)

[drfalkor]

hmm, weird (for me) ..
# apt-get install linux-tree-2.6.12
# cd /usr/src
# tar jxf linux-source-2.6.12.tar.bz2
# updatedb
# locate sys_linux.c
#

I could not find the sys_linux.c file :???:

Nevermind, got it to work with this:

These are engine modifications of QuakeWorld and Quake. They work much better and add alot new features.. like 16bits textures, dynamic lights, new particles, etc..

There are others like telejano, tenebrae (give a look&feel to doom3).. and others. As far i remember they are programing now tenebrae 2 engine wich will be a new completly game.

Look in fuhquake forums to find the high resolution textures pack or in google for quake retexturing project. There was also another for models and sounds.

play nexuiz ;-)
darkplace is also a nice quake engine (nexuiz is based on it)

[drfalkor]

I play nexuiz to ;)
