LuaServer

[QUOTE=jrj996;31362877]Why don't you guys work together, that'd make stuff seem a lot easier on both ends. Even if you're in other time-zones make some type of list to do shat.

Competition means innovation. So I support their rivalry.

I've been working on a lua client and server mod for about 2 weeks. Spent forever getting gmod like hooks. And then I see this.

[QUOTE=Divran;31345945]I was saving this for when Genesis logs on to steam, but since he never logs on at the same time as me (He's from Australia, I'm from Sweden...) I guess I'll say it here anyway: I'm currently making Lua for Bukkit. It's completely separate from Genesis', although he did inspire me :)

And no, Genesis, I did not use any of your code. I wrote it all myself.
You are welcome to use ANY of my code, though. :) Just ask.

So far I only have basics done: Loading lua files, and a hook system.
Still to do is making player, mob, block classes and my own custom file library (I have an epic idea for the file library, by the way :))

Oh and I'm using something called LuaJ, instead of the thing Genesis is using which is called LuaJava.

The difference is that LuaJava has a dll that parses the Lua code and some Java code to help you communicate with the dll. It was easy to add classes, but not the kind I want (where you can save variables to it as though it's a table, aka Gmod style), which was nearly completely impossible.

LuaJ is pure Java, and so far, it's much easier to use. Might be a little slower, I don't know, but I think it'll work fine for this. And hopefully it's easier to make Gmod style classes.[/QUOTE]
Hate to say this divran, but luajava is raw lua access. You can do ANYTHING you could with lua with luajava.

It was a bukkit mod too.

Im having problems calculatin the time between you and me, so.

Im from Finland, so the timezone is GMT +2.
Youre from Australia, so the timezone GMT +12 or so.
So your time is 10 hours ahead from me.

Atm my current time is 10:51pm

----------------------------------------------

New version for the masses! :)

Build 17 is now out.

Features:

-No longer requires dlls or libs for the lua code. ( still needs the sqlite ones )
-32bit or 64bit, windows or linux this thing should work properly no matter what your running.
-Added a "game.command" hook to the list of hooks. Is called whenever something is typed into the console or a player types something starting with a "/"
-Restructured the parameters passed into the command handler
-Restructured the parameters passed into the player.placeblock and player.breackblock classes
-Rather than having a function called SetReturn(255) to make an event be cancelled you should type "return false"
-No more patching the server yourself. Comes all prepackaged and nearly completely ready to go. ( Have to copy one or two files around depending on your OS )
-Added a Player:Print("message") function.
-Removed the Server.RegisterCommand function.

I take that as its working?

Actually, not. I checked the ExampleScript, and saw that you can use "/version" command. I typed it in, and the console said this.

[WARNING] Lua: Error running function.
[WARNING] attempt to call nil
[INFO] Backplague tried command: version

Except it's impossible to use because there's no documentation. And I've got everything I wanted working with LuaJ already, so I'm not switching back.

It isnt impossible to use.. Lua is HEAVILY documented, and the things you need to use with luajava are in the javadocs. I have no idea what you are talking about.

[jrj996]

Does this mean I can make some type of player metatable control and variable control?

Also, for the love of god, make getpos return as x,y,z before I kill myself! :suicide:

The javadoc I found for LuaJava had no documentation; It was just a list of functions with no description on any of them (except like 2 or 3 which had 1 sentence). Is there another one, which you are referring to, or something?

[Genesis999]

Had I done my research properly in the beginning I believe I would of used luaj instead of luajava due to luajavas lack of any documentation.

[Genesis999]

Aha! Tis a good evening indeed. Fixed the bug with build 17 and uploaded a new version. Threads have been updated with the new download link.

It works! :DDD Thank you very much!

Oh, by the way, how can i create prop files? What sort of file i have to create and change it to a prop file?

its because most of the javadoc refers to the lua functions.. Pay attention at the example, you dont even need javadocs for most of them, common sense comes into play

I made a MOTD script, but it doesnt work.

function OnScriptStart()
	Server.AddHook("player.connect", "PlayerJoined", "MOTD")
end

function PlayerJoined(Player)
	if Player:IsOP() then
		PrintToChat("OP " .. Player:GetUsername() .. " has joined the server.", 10,  "#all")
	else
		PrintToChat(Player:GetUsername() .. " has joined the server.", 9,  "#all")
	end
	return false
end

The console says this.

[WARNING] Lua: Error running function.
[WARNING] attempt to call nil

I checked the wiki and i think the PrintToChat is all fine. If it has changed, please tell me and update the wiki. :)

Also, is it normal that the chat doesnt work in LuaServer? When i try to say something that is not a command, it doesnt show anything in the console or chat.
And the ExampleScript doesnt work either. When i say "/reload ExampleScript", nothing happens and the console says this:

[WARNING] LUA: ReloadScript failed. Parameter 1 was invalid.
[WARNING] Lua: Error running function.
[WARNING] attempt to concatenate string and nil

Sorry about all that. Seems a change of API always manages to miss some things.

Ive fixed the PrintToChat call, fixed chat cancelling no matter what, fixed the command handler arguments variable ( stupid lua and its arrays starting at 1 instead of 0 )

As I said before i just finished migrating api's so there were one or two bits and pieces that escaped through the holes.

Why not have a gmod like hook system? Why use text for the function? Why is everything in the global namespace?

When are you going to upload the new version? I quess you deleted the current download from MediaFire.

[QUOTE=Map in a box;31385583]Why not have a gmod like hook system? Why use text for the function? Why is everything in the global namespace?[/QUOTE]

Why not have a gmod hook like system?

Mainly because the server is still a work in progress. Nothings finalised yet.

Why use text for the function?

Mainly cause at the time it was a fair bit easier to setup. Now that i have completed migrating to LuaJ I can continue to work on other things like passing functions in rather than strings.

Why is everything in the global namespace?

In the global namespace there is two functions ( PrintToChat, PrintToConsole ) and three tables ( Server , Files, Sql )
If you think thats a big issue well then you have worse OCD than I do.

Retry. It was an issue with the facepunch thread formatting.
