Updating modules and others
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Updating modules and others

| Well I just bought blitzmax In the demo there was a module with the Lua scripting language but now it isn't anymore and I was wondering how to get it... Also where can I find modules to dwl? Also I allready know how to use blitz3D(only used the 2d version of it) and I was wondering if there is any other way to make multiplayer than GameNet(I don't like the idee of types..) Thnx a lot(even if u just read it :P) |
| ||
| in the command prompt type "cd C:\Program Files\BlitzMax\bin" or whatever your BlitzMax installation path is and hit enter. Then type "syncmods -u Sanctus -p <whatever your password is> axe" |
| ||
| There exists a Forum Search: Lua - where has it gone? |
| ||
| Well I understood how it works but i have another question: Where do I dwl Lua.axe? Also: Nothing about the multiplayer? |
| ||
| You don't actually download it - you synchronise the modules: ... "axe.lua" by either using the syncmods tool: <bmxpath>/bin/syncmods -u <user> -p <password> AXEor you can download the MaxIDE Communtiy Edition and use the extended Sync Mods Dialog... |
| ||
| Thnx I got the MaxIDE Communtiy Edition and it works :D:D Now could anyone tell me where to start to learn how to use lua?(I don't know nothing about it) Note that I got the hang of Blitzmax(I know to use types, to draw, to get input and other stuff) Also:WATH ABOUT THE MULTIPLAYER??? CAN SOMEBODY ANSWER MY QUESTION?(Is there anything else i can use instead of GameNet? like DirectPlay) |
| ||
| Now could anyone tell me where to start to learn how to use lua?(I don't know nothing about it) The Programming Language LuaReference manual for Lua 5.1 (comes with axe.lua) Lua Scripting 101: The Basics WATH ABOUT THE MULTIPLAYER??? CAN SOMEBODY ANSWER MY QUESTION? BlitzMax is a cross-platform language and DirectPlay is a Windows-only thing so I'd say that there's little chance for an official DirectPlay-Module. So you can either use GameNet or another network library like TNet, wait for someone to write a DirectPlay-Module or create your own network library using sockets. -- Byteemoz |

| Wow thanx I'm reading now I think I'm getting the hang of it... Also how do I do the stuff with the sockets? And can I build my own module(without writing in c++?) One more thing... I think I got an ideea of a module in witch you make cameras for the rendering(2D!!!!)(also refered as views) The users whitch came from GameMaker know I'm talking about...(yes I did used it some long time ago... I only use it now to test the graphics I make) Btw I'm a 3D artist(thoug my graphics are 2D prerendered) so I might post free isometric graphics |

| Thnx mate I'm getting the hang of BlitzMax more and more :D:D |
| ||
| Is it just me or has the LUA module disappeared ? I've tried syncmods for AXE but it doesn't look like anything has been downloaded or installed and the LUA samples I've found won't compile ... anyone any ideas ? |
| ||
| I managed to sort it by changing the modserver specified in my modservers.cfg from modserver124 to modserver122 Connecting a browser to 124 it has a much, shorter list of modules than 122 ... is this right or has some sync between them broken or something ? |
