What Are You Working On? -- September 2012

[Aide]

Since beta not to far away I decided to mess around with my chatbox again. This time I decided to add more. It looks for commands and then looks for parameters in the commands sorta like evolve but further. It also decides how many lines can your chatbox support by using some basic math.

[QUOTE=Spencer Sharkey;37598324]Find In Files / Find All (and replace!) is really useful, but there are still things that require some manual fixing

That being said, a converter would be more work than it's worth.[/QUOTE]

I agree with you but maybe this is a pretty stupid question but i dont know what to replace the old codes with.

The basic stuff is documented [URL="https://docs.google.com/a/sf-n.com/document/d/1khSuIYrAMkqXu7wlH5YRJNwz6hOH6Xqi5lqBhE3x6gA/edit"]here[/URL]

You'll want to definitely want to look at the new [B][URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Libraries/surface/CreateFont"]Libraries/surface/CreateFont[IMG]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/IMG][/URL][/B]

Anything that requires a Color argument now requires a Color table instead of unpacked arguments... so for example you used to be able to do entity:SetColor(255, 0, 255, 150), but now you must give it a color like entity:SetColor(Color(255, 0, 255, 150)). It will now also return a color.

Anything that you have that's Get/SetAngle will now be Get/SetAngle[B]s[/B] to keep consistency.

The datastream module was taken out, so you'll have to use the new [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Lua/Tutorials/Using_the_net_library"]Net Library[/URL]

Most of the file functions were changed, so you can have a look at the new ones [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/file"]here[/URL]. Or you can read up on this slightly outdated File Library documentation by garry [URL="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CIMxhvD7UX1lJPGi_DpDmPdTcVloIDYo-6AAMQl_KCs/edit"]here[/URL], at the bottom it explains the new [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Libraries/file/Find]Libraries/file/Find[img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b] parameters.

And probably a couple of other little things you'll find by debugging your code as you go along, you can always reference the [URL="https://docs.google.com/a/sf-n.com/document/d/1dVgp8ojkrIjxVRFADUF5uwZQiLLivHixkmV5PW5v9Fw/edit"]Complete Change List[/URL] but it's not 100% accurate.
For example, spawn icons require some edits, most of the silkicons are now png materials in the icon16 folder rather than gui/silkicons, soundscripts are now added through lua rather than the file, you load pcf files through lua rather than the manifest file too.

It's very nice to have that many lines and all but that's one thing I really hate in a game is having a massively large chatbox. Did you atleast make it so you can choose how many lines you want to see other than having a giant blind spot on the left side of your screen?

Yep, having lines of text covering half of your screen is quite annoying at times (actually always).

More Spacestation stuff. The map is semi editable. It took until two in the morning for me to get physics generation fast enough to edit without lagging. The visual mesh generation is still way too slow, though.

[QUOTE=skar;37594634]someone should go through all of the changes in GLua (for GM13) and make a converter that you can input a script into and then takes all old deprecated functions and replaces them with the new ones, or tells you what you need to change to make it work again

There you go. It will fix most of the errors. Also, it's made for HSP, so you might want to change it a bit.

filex has been removed in GMod13, and some addons are still using it. file.Append does the same as filex.Append

Yes you can as well as the size, lines, and type of the font. The amount of lines is automatically decided by screen height.

You can add your tabs very easily. You add it as simple as typing
[lua]AddMode(ID, Text)[/lua]
and to add a entry to it, you simply do
[lua]PLS:MsgAdmin(Text, ID of mode)[/lua]

I'm not realy sure yet. I've got a few bugs to fix etc.

So I opened Milkshape with the intention of making something. This is a first even though I've had the program for a while.
Not Lua related...
At least, not yet...

I made the [URL="http://nanotrasen.com/wiki/index.php/Arrivals"]arrival shuttle[/URL] using simple editing capabilities. It lacks doors, seats, lockers, engines, proper windows, and some other crap. I probably won't be making the diagonal walls because they're used practically nowhere. I could have put a ceiling on it but figured this was better for demonstrating and comparison.

[b]Update #2:[/b] Ok, this thing is now as close to finished as possible as the console command now fully predicts you filepath input. There is only one thing left, and that's to override "lua_openscript_cl" but that would most likely involve external programs, and there's no way I'm doing that.
[b]Update:[/b] Thanks to some help from a local wizard, I fixed a few of the issues mentioned in the "not so cool" section, including slowness and un-detailed errors. Next up legit predicted commands.

Ok so, this is a fully featured sv_allowcslua "bypass", unlike that other thing I posted about. Basically it lets you run all of your normal lua files almost exactly as if there was no convavar.

[b]Cool things:[/b]
- Adds shorter command to run lua files from console
- Adds command to run lua files from web
- Over-Rides include (it's accurate to the best of my knowledge and shouldn't have issues) so you don't have to modify your main projects at all.
- Auto-loads your entire autorun folder.

[b]Not so cool things:[/b]
- [del]A tad slower then the normal includes (especially noticeable with projects that are composed of lots of files)[/del]
- [del] No path prediction for the console commands (if you guys let me know how to do it, I'll add it) [/del]
- [del]Most importantly: Since it's all RunString it won't be able to tell you where your errors originated from file-wise, however, the given line numbers are correct. Seeing this, I recommend editing only one file at a time.[/del]

Anyway, stick the following code into a lua file somewhere [b][u]*OTHER*[/u][/b] than /autorun/client, otherwise you'll get a very slow and painful infinite loop of death.
[lua]--Override Functions

function include(path, root)
if (root == nil or root == "LUA_PATH" ) then
path = "lua/"..path
root = "GAME"
elseif(root == "GAME") then
path = path
elseif(root == "DATA") then
path = "data/"..path
else
path = path
root = "GAME"
end

local fileFunction = CompileString(file.Read(path, root), path)
fileFunction()

print("Loaded: "..path)
end

function runWebFile(adress)
http.Fetch(adress, function(content)
RunString(content)
end)

print("Fetched From: "..adress)
end

--add con commands
concommand.Add("lua_webload", function(p,c,a)
runWebFile(a[1])
end)

--concommand.Remove("lua_openscript_cl")
function auto(command, args)
args = string.sub(args,2)
local files, dirs = file.Find("lua/"..args.."*", "GAME")

table.Add(dirs, files)

local commands = string.Explode("/", args)
local str = commands[table.Count(commands)]

table.foreach(dirs, function(key, value)
dirs[key] = command.." "..args..string.sub(value, string.len(str) + 1)
end)

return dirs
end

concommand.Add("lua_fileload", function(p,c,a) include(a[1]) end, auto)

--auto execute autorun folder
local files, directories = file.Find("lua/autorun/client/*.lua","GAME")
for i,v in pairs(files) do
include("autorun/client/"..v)
end

--let user know were done
chat.AddText("Bypasses Loaded!")[/lua]

Next, add following line into your autoexec.cfg file (obviously change the key and path if needed).

bind f10 "lua_run_cl RunString(file.Read('autorun/client/Bypass.lua', LUA_PATH))"

Finally, start a game and hit F10 (or whatever your bind is). The script will then do it's thing and load all your auto-run scripts.

P.S. Sorry for that other thread, it was really late and I was rather pissed off....

[Wizard of Ass]

Gimmickly code to allow C-Style throwing aka. exception handling.

[lua]
local throwObj

function throw(obj)
throwObj = obj
error("throw", 0)
end

function try(blockA, blockB, ...)
local succ, a, b, c, d, e, f = pcall(blockA, ...)
if(not succ) then
if(a ~= "throw") then
error(a)
end
return blockB(throwObj, ...)
end
return succ, a, b, c, d, e, f
end

function tryNoRollback(blockA, blockB, ...)
return xpcall(blockA, function(err)
if(err == "throw") then
return blockB(throwObj)
end
end)
end
[/lua]

[editline]10th September 2012[/editline]

Sample:

> return try(function() throw(function() end) end, function(obj) print(obj) return 1 end)
function: 0x000e9018

[hentie]

that's pretty cool, wizard.
I can see a lot of use for that, like debugging sections of scripts without interrupting the flow of the rest of the script.

also why is [noparse][lua][/lua][/noparse] insanely broken with the numbers fucking up and the boxes being extra huge?

[editline]10th September 2012[/editline]

found a style fix for the giant lua boxes:

.syntaxhighlighter table td.gutter .line {
text-align: right!important;
padding: 0px 5px 0 1em!important;
background-color: #AAA;
}

0.5em broke the style for some reason, so I just made it 5px.
