  How to add a library in LuaHow do you add a library in Lua? I tried to read a few "tutorials." I could not understand them, and the examples they gave I couldn't get those to work.

Re: How to add a library in Lua I'm barely qualified to respond, but have you had a look at Lord Tim's IRC Scene?
http://forums.datarealms.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=12079&start=0&hilit=irc+lord+tim He used LuaSocket there, so I assume it would apply to your situation. |

Re: How to add a library in Lua Short answer: use the require command. Depending on the library, it may actually already be included in the basic installation of CC.

Re: How to add a library in Lua This is the library I'm trying to add right now.
Short test script: Code: allegro = require("ALLEG42") while 1 == 1 do if allegro:keystate(KEY_SPACE) then print("Space is pressed") end end And that results in this error (using SciTE) when I attempt to run it: Code: >lua -e "io.stdout:setvbuf 'no'" "Macro.lua" lua: error loading module 'ALLEG42' from file '.\ALLEG42.dll': The specified procedure could not be found. stack traceback: [C]: ? [C]: in function 'require' Macro.lua:1: in main chunk [C]: ? >Exit code: 1 I have the script and "ALLEG42.dll" in the same folder. |

Re: How to add a library in Lua I'm pretty sure the base filepath Lua refers to is the /Cortex Command/ directory.

Re: How to add a library in Lua Well, this isn't for cortex command.

Re: How to add a library in Lua the base directory of whatever you're putting lua into. so if your .exe/binary, whatever was in /home/cricket/game/ you'd put the .dll there too.

Re: How to add a library in Lua If all else fails paste it into a bunch of places at once until it works then narrow down the folder from there.

Re: How to add a library in Lua Quote: lua: error loading module 'ALLEG42' from file '.\ALLEG42.dll': The specified procedure could not be found. unless SCiTE is really that bad and calls file missing errors like this-- this seems to be more of a problem with the DLL you are using. "the specified procedure" could be referring to the necessary entry point. |

Re: How to add a library in Lua I'm pretty sure the dll is in the right place, it's probably my lack of library operation that's causing this problem. Is there a setup or something that you need to do to the library before attempting to use it?

Re: How to add a library in Lua this is a really bad library. I read some of the documentation.
you really should just use LOVE if you want to render things in your own program. have you tried running their example? Quote: 5th of january, 2007. Release 0.39 version is ready. |

(haven't read much on it) Edit: Yep, it does. But I'm also trying to find something that can simulate a button "press" on the keyboard |

Re: How to add a library in Lua Yes. So if you have the program to use some key pressing function set to the key that "T" is on, and you open up Notepad and run the program, a "T" will appear in Notepad.
