AddCSLuaFile() && Include() issues

[Commander11]

Hi, first of all let me give you guys the block of code I am having trouble with:

(forums fucked up my indexing, I'm sorry.)

//Auto-Load our Plugins.

INCLUDE = function(SOURCE) 
    for k, v in pairs(file.Find("gamemodes/skeleton/gamemode/"..SOURCE.."/*.lua", "GAME")) do
        local filter = string.sub(v, 1, 2); print("SOURCE FILE- "..SOURCE.." LOADING- "..v);
        if filter != "cl" or filter == "sh" then 
            include(SOURCE.."/"..v); 
        end 
        if filter == "cl" or filter == "sh" then 
            AddCSLuaFile(SOURCE.."/"..v); 
        end
    end
end
INCLUDE("Plugins");

This is being called server-side, I've already tried it in shared but it becomes a cluster. Can anyone share with me a good method of Include() and AddCSLuaFile() plugins? I'm trying to get this to work so that I don't need to manually add plugins to my gamemode.

I am also having troubles with the fact that if I don't have a cl_init in my plugin folder it spews an error that it cannot find Plugins/cl_init.lua when cl_init.lua already exists..

What makes it not work when called shared? ( this is the only way btw )

As for your cl_init.lua, make sure it's not empty and that it doesn't contain errors.

I didn't want to go this way but it seemed like the most concrete way to do it:

[lua]
for k, v in pairs(file.Find("skeleton/gamemode/Plugins/*.lua", "LUA")) do
local FILTER = string.sub(v, 1, 3);
print("-----");
if FILTER == "sh_" then
include("Plugins/"..v);
if SERVER then
AddCSLuaFile("Plugins/"..v);
end
print("SHARED FILE - "..v);
end
end

if SERVER then
for k, v in pairs(file.Find("skeleton/gamemode/Plugins/*.lua", "LUA")) do
local FILTER = string.sub(v, 1, 3);
print("-----");
if FILTER == "sv_" then
include("Plugins/"..v);
print("SERVER FILE - "..v);
elseif FILTER == "cl_" then
AddCSLuaFile("Plugins/"..v);
print("ADDED CLIENT FILE - "..v);
end
end
end

if CLIENT then
for k, v in pairs(file.Find("skeleton/gamemode/Plugins/*.lua", "LUA")) do
local FILTER = string.sub(v, 1, 3);
print("-----");
if FILTER == "cl_" then
include("Plugins/"..v);
print("CLIENT FILE - "..v);
end
end
end
[/lua]

Since I wasn't checking the SERVER and CLIENT correctly it was including cl_ folders sometimes on the server and still searching for cl_init which broke the whole script.

Can't you do simple logic?
if prefix=="sh" or ( CLIENT and prefix == "cl" ) or ( SERVER and prefix == "sv" ) then include (file)
elseif ( SERVER and prefix == "cl" or prefix=="sh" ) then addcsluafile (file) end

I've been up all night, I'll re-write soon. Sorry

[lua]
for k, v in pairs(file.Find("skeleton/gamemode/"..SOURCE.."/*.lua", "LUA")) do
local FILTER = string.sub(v, 1, 3);
print("-----");
if SERVER then
if FILTER == "sv_" or FILTER == "sh_" then
include(SOURCE.."/"..v);
if FILTER == "sh_" then
AddCSLuaFile(SOURCE.."/"..v);
print("CLIENT SEND");
end
print("SERVER INCLUDED - "..v);
elseif FILTER == "cl_" then
AddCSLuaFile(SOURCE.."/"..v);
print("CLIENT SEND ONLY - "..v);
end
elseif CLIENT then
if FILTER == "sh_" or FILTER == "cl_" then
include(SOURCE.."/"..v);
print("CLIENT INCLUDED - "..v);
end
end
end
[/lua]

I apologize for asking stupid questions but when I get frustrated I tend to over-think things.

So, as you can see, I decided that I wanted to make a few functions to assist my script in loading Plugins even further:

[lua]
function EVO:FindLuaDirectory(SOURCE)
return file.Find("skeleton/gamemode/"..SOURCE.."/*.lua", "LUA");
end

function EVO:IncludeLuaFile(SOURCE, name)
local FILTER = string.sub(name, 1, 3);
if SERVER then
if FILTER == "sv_" or FILTER == "sh_" then
include(SOURCE.."/"..name);
if FILTER == "sh_" then
AddCSLuaFile(SOURCE.."/"..name);
print("CLIENT SEND");
end
print("INCLUDED SERVER FILE - "..name);
elseif FILTER == "cl_" then
AddCSLuaFile(SOURCE.."/"..name);
print("INCLUDED CLIENT FILE - "..name);
end
end
if CLIENT then
if FILTER == "sh_" or FILTER == "cl_" then
include(SOURCE.."/"..name);
print("INCLUDED CLIENT FILE -"..name);
end
end
end

function EVO:IncludeLuaFile_ALL(SOURCE)
for k, v in pairs(self:FindLuaDirectory(SOURCE)) do
EVO:IncludeLuaFile(SOURCE, v);
end
end
EVO:IncludeLuaFile_ALL("Plugins");
[/lua]

Unfortunately this method is causing some issues... One file in particular(which was working fine before I added these two helper functions) is causing errors.... Anyone have any idea what would cause an error like this:

 [ERROR] expected near ')' 1.unkown gamemodes/skeleton/gamemode/plugins/sv_data.lua

? It's odd. I'm doing nothing but setting a table which is defined in a shared folder right above these functions...
