Title: beginning LUA scripting issue
Post by: Reprobator on November 23, 2007, 02:42:47 pm

Hi ,

I'm at the very beginning with lua scripting, so I've read the wiki part to write a hello world ( http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/FS2_Open_Lua_Scripting#Quick.2C_a_full_example.21 )
I've created the scripting.tbl in the correct place, copy / paste the code given in the wiki, launched my game and...nothing , no hello world appears at splash screen.

So I wonder if I done all the necessary, I started to debug ( debug version of executable + debug windows ) but didn't give me more infos about why my script doesn't work.

Help !!

What build are you using? Hmmm... on a closer look there seems to be a problem with that example script (i haven't written or tested it...). It seems like the hooks mentioned in that example havent been added to the code... odd.

Here is something i wrote earlier and it should work... IIRC http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Tutorial_-_Basic_Scripting

Should be fixed in CVS now; I committed my local codebase. See the build (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,50601.0.html).

Scripting.html increased in size by 8% (65kb to 70kb) :D
