+<h2 id="native">Using shared libraries instead of <acronym title="Quake Virtual Machine">QVM</acronym>s</h2>
+<p>To force Q3 to use shared libraries instead of
+<acronym title="Quake Virtual Machine">QVM</acronym>s run it with the following parameters:
+<br /><tt>+set sv_pure 0 +set vm_cgame 0 +set vm_game 0 +set vm_ui 0</tt></p>
+
+<h2>Using Demo Data Files</h2>
+<p>Copy <tt>demoq3/pak0.pk3</tt> from the demo installer to your <tt>baseq3</tt>
+directory. The <acronym title="Quake Virtual Machine">QVM</acronym> files in this
+<tt>pak0.pk3</tt> will not work, so you have to use the <a href="#native">native
+shared libraries</a> or <acronym title="Quake Virtual Machine">QVM</acronym>s from
+this project. To use the new <acronym title="Quake Virtual Machine">QVM</acronym>s,
+they must be put into a <tt>.pk3</tt> file. A <tt>pk3</tt> file is just a zip file,
+so any compression tool that can create such files will work. The shared libraries
+should already be in the correct place.</p>
+<p>Please bear in mind that you will not be able to play online using the demo data,
+nor is it something that we like to spend much time maintaining or supporting.</p>
+
+<h2>64-bit Mods</h2>
+<p>If you wish to compile external mods as shared libraries on a 64bit platform,
+and the mod source is derived from the id Q3 SDK, you will need to modify the
+interface code a little. Open the files ending in <tt>_syscalls.c</tt> and change
+every instance of <tt>int</tt> to intptr_t in the declaration of the <tt>syscall</tt>
+function pointer and the <tt>dllEntry</tt> function. Also find the vmMain function
+for each module (usually in <tt>cg_main.c</tt>, <tt>g_main.c</tt>, etc.) and similarly
+replace the return value in the prototype with <tt>intptr_t (arg0, arg1, ...stay int)</tt>.
+</p><p>
+Add the following code snippet to <tt>q_shared.h</tt>:
+<pre>#ifdef Q3_VM
+typedef int intptr_t;
+#else
+#include <stdint.h>
+#endif</pre>
+<em>Note: if you simply wish to run mods on a 64bit platform you do <strong>not</strong>
+need to recompile anything since by default Q3 uses a virtual machine system.</em></p>
+
+<h2>Creating Mods Compatible With Quake III 1.32b</h2>
+<p>If you're using this package to create mods for the last official release of
+Quake III, it is necessary to pass the command-line option <tt>-vq3</tt> to your
+invocation of <tt>q3asm</tt>. This is because by default <tt>q3asm</tt> outputs
+an updated <acronym title="Quake Virtual Machine">QVM</acronym> format that is necessary
+to fix a bug involving the optimizing pass of the x86 vm JIT compiler. Read
+<a href="http://www.quakesrc.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5665">the web-forum post</a>
+about this issue for more details.</p>

Our focus initially is to get the game working with our updates on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux.
Other platforms are a bonus. Sane new features are also welcome. Modern graphical upgrades
(ie. bloom lighting) would have to be disabled by default.
