GCompute - In-game Lua Development IDE

[Bobblehead]

[QUOTE=Linda;43897003]Do you still need a module to save the files as .lua or have you got that covered? I could make a module for that. File creation, folder creation, etc.[/QUOTE]

Luabee would benefit from a module like that as well.

[LauScript]

well, to be completely honest, this looks cool and all but what exactly is the bonus functionality? I mean without downloading it and just looking at the screenshots and stuff, it looks like np++ with an ingame model viewer and some lists to show hooks?

Call me ignorant/lazy but what are some significant bonuses to using this rather than just creating your gamemodes in np++?

NP++ isn't inside of the actual game.

WHAT??????? NO WAY I NEVER NOTICED

I don't consider the ability to use fullscreen while scripting a significant bonus.

Being able to save, run, and see the results of the script in one button is a lot faster than saving it, bringing up GMod, running the script, and then looking at the results. I don't know if that is a feature in this, but you could easily create it..

[LauScript]

Well if you were trying to save micro-seconds i guess that'd be a valid feature but honestly it takes literally half a second to save your document and then click on the game.

The best way to convince anyone of a product is to get them to just try it.

Little usefulness adds up. Try it yourself and see if you like it or not. There's a million little nuances about every IDE which make them stand out from the rest. If you decide that NP++ is better then so be it.

Tower of stack traces

[/QUOTE]

It looks like you might be missing VFS ([url]https://github.com/notcake/vfs.git[/url])
This addon drives the file open / save dialogs and allows you to view serverside lua files if you're an admin (useful if you're not hosting the server locally!)

If this isn't the case, add me on steam and I'll try to sort it.

I use this alongside Np++.
It is incredibly useful to prototype smaller functions and to do a quick test, kind of like a much better lua_run.
The ability to run the code only on selected clients, server or shared is also very helpful, this is a lot more work if you do it in notepad++.

Very useful for running small amounts of lua code directly without having to make a concommand in a file. E.g. give all bots a specific weapon and make them switch to it, print the results of a function you created etc.

[GGG KILLER]

OMG, this is the best addon i've ever seen, THANK YOU A LOT(I'll try to spread this to everywhere)

[Xviper_12]

Moved over to this from Luapad. Needed something that is visually the part, and also allows to test code to be ran and output viewed in an easy way.

Being a Starfall dev I usually need to run Lua code 'hacks' whilst on the server to patch things or see the results, and this allows me to work much quicker towards finding a solution. No tedious loading of external lua files, or reloading of the map. Straight working lua execution. Love it!

Also a personal vouch for !cake, great guy to talk to.

It seems to me you've installed it incorrectly.

[Braden1996]

This looks absolutely crazy... Great job!! :D

[soccermitchy]

Hey, when I tried using this, I had a few issues:
1. after function names and after ending a string, there were some extra spaces.
2. even though I'm admin on the server I'm using it on, everything but the 'run client' button in the run menu is grayed out...

1. It looks like you're missing the Lucida Console font.
You can either try installing it or changing the font used by modifying the top of lua/gcompute/ui/codeeditor/codeeditor.lua. (There isn't a settings window for the IDE yet and there won't be for a while, sorry).

2. I updated GCompute to no longer require luadev for remote lua execution today. Updating your copy should fix this issue.

Try verifying your game installation, it looks like you're missing some of the game's UI library. This error shouldn't ever happen.

If this doesn't fix it, run lua_log_cl 1 in console and start a single player game.
Then post the contents of garrysmod/lua_errors_client.txt here.

[Otaconmgs]

Verifying my game cached fixed it, Thanks! This tool should prove very useful in getting my feet wet with LUA

Sweet, you fixed that issue... :p

But now I have another: when I try to edit the files in the darkrpmodification addon, they all show up blank, but on the actual machine, they aren't blank.

Screenshots:

ls -lh output: [url]http://i.imgur.com/8XVPoMQ.png[/url]

also, quick suggestion: instead of adding to the list of things to undo every time you type something, why not something like once every second or two? Because right now, ^z acts like backspace :p

Try the luacl/darkrp_customthings or luasv/darkrp_customthings folders instead.

As for your suggestion... run another update :P

Found something else (not sure if fixed in the update) but when I tried using the computation core in the wire menu, I just get what looks like some filler text (iirc something like #GCompute.Core0)... is it just unfinished?

Can you double check that you've downloaded all 4 addons and they're up to date?
[url]https://github.com/notcake/glib.git[/url]
[url]https://github.com/notcake/gooey.git[/url]
[url]https://github.com/notcake/vfs.git[/url]

If it's still not working after updating them, look for errors in your console and post them here if there are any.

[Boxie]

First of all thank you !cake for this awesome addon, but I still have some problems.
Superadmin haven't got any rights/permissions to
- create groups
- manage permissions
- access to help/settings

How can I add such rights?

You're welcome!

Sadly I haven't implemented the settings or help yet.
As for the groups and permissions, there's not much you can really do with them. You can only edit permissions on the folder with your name on it. It's the same with group creation.
