Hi Bobbie, The code fails because your variable x is only ever created when the first if statement is true. So if `devicechanged['RemoteWK2'] == "Off"` then the variable x is created when you assign the value 1. If, however `devicechanged['RemoteWK2'] == "On"` then x is never created. The...

Hi, Try downloading my Winlua installer? WinLua - Lua Plus Tools for Windows. LuaRocks is installed and set up to work with Lua 5.3. The installer takes care of the paths and whatnot. It also comes with a C/C++ compiler that works mostly out of the box. The installer includes Lua 5.4, but you...

I don't think it's necessary to create a new codec for the audio/video, I think you just want to encrypt the files and decrypt them in memory. Open the file in your plugin, pass the bytes to the encryption library, decrypt them in memory and pass the byte stream to the player? Again, I'm...

Sorry. Programming In Lua = PIL. Great book by one of the Lua authors.

So from what I can tell you're code won't work for a number of reasons. The most fundamental is the way you've strung your commands together won't capture the output. The cd command fails long before you've asked bash to pipe stderr to sdtout. io.popen won't work for your needs. The restriction...

Hi, Have you compared to this tutorial? Leaderboards

Hi, check out Sol3. It's an amazing binging library for Lua/C++. Cross platform. I have two articles on using it on Windows, but the code would be the same: https://luaforum.com/threads/lua-sol-3-and-c-oh-my-part-1-nice-doggy.196/...

Hi, I think you are asking about creating your own Digital Rights Management? But you also asked about encryption, which is something different (but related). Both topics are very large and difficult. Not to mention the least of your issues: learning Lua and AMS. However, if you were just...

WinLua Toolchain News - CodeLLDB for VS Code works with WinLua Hi everyone, I have super good news! I can confirm that there is a working LLVM debugger for VS Code. Vadim Chugunov has created CodeLLDB, a plugin for the Windows native LLDB debugger. CodeLLDB works seamlessly with WinLua...

Ah, I see now. There is a thread on stack overflow that has a solution for manipulating both stderr and stdout: Use stderr in lua io.popen to determine faulty function call The answer is that you must use something like luaposix. There is a second answer at the bottom that proposes a wrapper...

local sf = string.format --~I hate typing string.format --This function isn't used, it's here for reference local function run_cmd(cmd, param_string) command_str = sf("%s %s", cmd, param_string or "") print("Running with os.execute:",command_str) local result =...

It sounds like you are looking for a shared table. You would have three scripts. The main script would contain a table variable. The main script would then call the startup script and then the runloop script. There are a few ways you could work it. The sub scripts might have an init function or...

In getParentType, the variable obj just shows up out of nowhere. I'm not sure why you want to overload the type function in getParentType. I think that's a bad idea. Also your last print statement will just use the Lua type function. Not sure that was your intention? Indentation is very...

This is telling you that it can't find the odbc package for lua. Have you installed it? Is it supposed to be in '/usr/src/ajto/lua_Mysql'? If your odbc package is not in a standard place (e.g. installed with LuaRocks or other package manager) then you will need to specify the path to the module...
