Lua plugin

[paganwarrior]

When I download it, I have a file woth length = 0 ... no matter which software I use to download.

Aargh, this ftp server doesn't work correctly.... sorry.

The new link is http://crystaldoc.atw.hu/cslua.zip

And here is the source of the test app: http://crystaldoc.atw.hu/luatest.zip

Note: The app will collapse, when you try to start it. My next step will fix up bazaar, I need  versioning.

What's going wrong with your bazaar ?

Anyway, I created the branch, and you can checkout from it.

Code:

cd $CRYSTAL
bzr checkout sftp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cslua/cslua/CS

I'm currently trying to create jamfiles.

edit: created Jamfiles and it seems to work. Next step is to integrate your test application and also to use autoconf to detect LUA CFLAGS and LFLAGS. Actually the flags are defined directly in Jamfile.
I also removed some warnings (no newline at end of tile and unused variable)

So, my test app loads correctly the lua plugin - a screenshot:

Crystal Space collapses, when I try to load flarge map, so I changed the map name in the LoadMap() function to terrain - and eerithing is ok.

Bazaar dies on my computer constantly, when I try to chekckout  - with a 'connection error - unable to reach SSH host bazaar.launcpad.net' . Any idea, what's wrong?

What's next?

1. I create a shorter simplified test app -this version is a 'copy-paste' work from my own CS project -with a litlle modification -the original console class was Python-based. We don't need map loading, and collosion detection - it's enough, whe we use the canonical CreateRoom() function.

2. I make the swig binding.

3. I write the needed lua test chunks.

4. Finishing touches - comand line options, or a simple config file to the plugin, redirecting the lua in,out, error channels.

5. Public test.

6. Let's go to create CEL binding.

Begin to look like something interresting thanks for your work.

Bazaar dies on my computer constantly, when I try to chekckout  - with a 'connection error - unable to reach SSH host bazaar.launcpad.net' . Any idea, what's wrong?

Not many ideas ... I could help better if you used a gnu/linux system but let's try to solve that problem.
- does bazaar works with a local branch (try bzr init on a new folder) ?
- do you have configured your ssh keys ? both locally and in launchpad ?
- do you specify your lauchpad login th the branch URI ?
- what command line do you use ?

I don't know how it works on Windows, maybe you can try to install a unix environment like mingw or cygwin ... It should work then ...

And, I just realized it, it is not bazaar.launcpad.net but bazaar.launchpad.net, what if you just change the address ?

A wonder happens, bazaar works!

Added the cslua-test branch with your test program. Testing it, I had a lua prompt on the crystal space window but print didn't printed anything on the terminal behind.

Anyways, I really need to take some time to llok deeper in the source to do something more useful than configure.ac and Jamfiles scripts.
About that, It appears you're using Windows while I use a gnu/linux distro, si I wonder how you compile Crystal Space ... do you use the configure script ? Anyways, it must be possible for you to use Jam just modifying some variables tn the Jamconfig file.

In ther nearby future the test app will use the CS console to print  Lua output, the current solution maybe not platfom indepent (I never tested under Linux ).

I compiled the 1.0pre1 version  - with MSVC8 - this solution don't need any configuration script.
