Important Update

[Josh]

There's an update available now. This compiles the Framework commands into the main engine so that Lua can access the entire framework command set. C++ programs will now more closely resemble the results you see in the editor, because water, sky, and other settings can be controlled with Lua and any programming language.

sounds sexy.

 

i had my dad buy the upgrade to 2.3 and lua programming book so waiting on that lol

 

i have a feeling that games are now going to come to life, faster, and easier with scripting.

Fantastic work Josh. Nothing better than consolidating codebases to make things more efficient and simpler.

[Laurens]

Framework in C#. Yay!

 

Thank you so much Josh!

[fuego]

Woohooo! That was the biggest thing I expected to happen, but I did not expect it to come that fast! Now I don't have to bother with Visual Studio or stuff, after some amount of work, I will be able to do everything on the engine at real time! I think this is fantastic.

example02.lua doesn't work

example02.lua doesn't work

 

it does work when ran from the editor... but then you get that annoying double editor screen...

 

and it also works outside of the editor if ran just from the standalone script editor without having the LE editor open, but you have to change one line:

camera=fw.main.camera

to

camera=fw.Main.camera

Apparently another issue with lua being case sensitive.

 

but if you try to run it again with the editor open, then you have to change it back to the lower case version.

LUA Layer Commands:

 

GetFrameworkLayer(mode)

GetLayerCamera

GetLayerWorld

 

 

doesn't work too.

[macklebee]

wouldn't those just be captured by whatever layer you set... so don't use GetFrameworkLayer anymore, but use fw.transparency.world, fw.main.world, fw.transparency.camera, fw.main.camera, etc... just a guess though.

Finishing the framework docs today...

At last, I'm able to access the Framewerk with Lua. Looking forward to the docs Josh.

I found where was problem. Because LUA is case sensitive and I had wrong class/properties name of framework ( Josh fix naming to same for all languages).

Now my ActionSnake works again. Today will be updated on my server.

looking forward to it... quick question tho, what files do we need to add to get the program to work? anyway of providing an executable?

Which program?

[macklebee]

Which program?

 

ActionSnake LUA

[AndyGFX]

ActionSnake LUA

 

Extract to LE 2.3 SDK folder and execute RunActionSnake.bat file.

Finishing the framework docs today...

 

That's even better news!

After all this crazy new stuff in 2.3 I think we need some decent doco.

There is a little problem when using HDR+DOF.

Tested with NVIDIA GTX 260.

 

[Josh]

Something similar to this was seen in beta testing. It was solved by clamping some values...just need to find out exactly where.
