Small update to v0.2.7.2

I just made some crash fixes. It shouldn't crash after a error message display anymore. I did made some test with error spamming, and it did crash. But as long you don't overreact with errors, it should be all fine ;)

Added after 6 hours 8 minutes:
Small update to v0.2.7.3

By request by Hoeloe I've moved the lua code, so the userbank is loaded before the onLoad-code.

[Kevsoft]

Big update to v0.3.

Basically this update adds the new "Custom API"-Support. The wiki is already up to date with all necessary data.

[Kevsoft]

LunaLua v0.3.1 is out!
Changes:

Spoiler

*Added Block class
** functions: Block:mem and Block:collidesWith
** fields: x,y,speedX,speedY,id,slippery,invisible

*Added function blocks() (returns all blocks in the level)
*Added function findblocks(int id) (returns all blocks with a specific id)
*Added function npcToCoins() (converts every npc to coins)

Example code with the new LunaLua:

Code: Select all

function onLoop()
   local smb3Box = findblocks(173)[0] --ID of SMW Blue Switch
   if(smb3Box)then
      if(smb3Box:collidesWith(player) == 3)then  --Ultimate Kill switch :D
         npcToCoins()
      end
   end
end


Documentary will be updated soon!

LunaLua v0.3.2 is now out!
Changes:

Spoiler

*Added VBStr Class
*Added several fields which access text (NPC Msg, NPC Layer Names, NPC Events)

Example, as usual:

Code: Select all

function onLoop()
   local myFriendlyNPC = findnpcs(1,player.section)[0]
   if(myFriendlyNPC)then
      printText("\""..myFriendlyNPC.msg.str.."\"",4,30,140)
   end
end


Documentary will be updated soon!

LunaLua v0.3.3 is out!

Changes:

Spoiler

*Added new class Layer (speedX, speedY, layerName and stop-function)
*Added better layer access from NPC and Block by returning now a Layer Object.

Example:

Code: Select all

i = 0
run = true
function onLoop()
   i = i + 1
   local myLayer = findlayer("MyLayer")
   if(myLayer)then
      printText(myLayer.layerName.str, 30, 200)
      if(i % 100 == 1)then
         run = not run
      end
      if(run)then
         myLayer.speedX = -1
      else
         myLayer:stop()
      end
   end
end


(requires a layer "MyLayer" added with some blocks :P)

Documentary will be updated soon!

[Kevsoft]

LunaLua v0.3.4 is out!
Changes:

Spoiler

*Added the function exitLevel()
*Added getter and setter function winState()
*Added Animation class (I know it's called effect in SMBX but I got used to it)
*Added the function runAnimation(...) to run a SMBX Effect.

Example:

Code: Select all

function isCrabDead() return findnpcs(209, -1)[0] == nil end

function onLoop()
   if not isCrabDead() then return end
   local myBlocks = blocks()
   local plScreen = player.screen
   local k = 0
   for _,v in pairs(myBlocks) do
      k = k + 1
      local curX = v.x
      local curY = v.y
      if(k % math.random(1,2000) == 0)then
         if(player.y-plScreen.top < curY and player.y-plScreen.top+600 > curY and player.x-plScreen.left < curX and player.x-plScreen.left+800 > curX)then
            runAnimation(108, curX, curY+16, 1065353216)
         end
      end

   end
   earthquake(5)
end


Documentation will be updated soon! :P

LunaLua v0.3.4.1 is out!

Changes:

Spoiler

Added the function getInput() which returns a VBStr to cheat buffer.
Added field .length to VBStr. (Note it is always 2 bytes per character because of UNICODE)

Softcoded part:
Added library npcid.lua by Rockythechao.
Added library asmmod.lua by Kevsoft.

Example:

Code: Select all

asm = loadAPI("asmmod")

function onLoad()
   asm.setEndingAnimation(108) --Explosion Effect
   asm.setEndingCoinSound(56) --Sound id
   asm.setEndingCoinValue(13) --Coins per npc removal
end

function onLoop()
   printText(tostring(getInput().length).." "..getInput().str, 30, 190)
end


Added after 2 hours 32 minutes:
LunaLua v0.3.4.2 is out!
Changes:

Spoiler

*Changed that VBStr.length represent character length.
*Added VBStr.clear() to clear out a string.

Example:

Code: Select all

function onLoop()
   if(getInput().str:find("sometext"))then
      printText("Here some text for you :D", 30, 300)
   end
end

function onJump() --If player jumps the reset the cheat string buffer.
   getInput():clear()
end

Really amazing work you're doing here, I can't wait to try this out. When the idea/creativity strikes. Btw I got a question from someone: Is this compatible with SMBX or just PGEG?

[Kevsoft]

This is compatible with the modificated version of SMBX.

[Sambo]

What version of LunaDLL does this work with?

[Wohlstand]

What version of LunaDLL does this work with?

LunaDLL 8, latest. Kil sending us fixes and updates of main LunaDLL module into our source repo, and we have fresh LunaDLL version which we building with LunaLUA support

[hacheipe399]

Can I use "ShowNPCLifeLeft" action with LUA?

[Sambo]

Is there a command I can use to hide the HUD, or has this not been implemented into lunaLUA yet?

[Kevsoft]

Is there a command I can use to hide the HUD, or has this not been implemented into lunaLUA yet?

Is not implmented yet, will be available in the next big lunalua update.

[Kevsoft]

v0.4 BETA is out.

Please read if you are an api-developer:

Spoiler

registerEvent has changed: The first argument has to be the api-table itself and not the api-string anymore!!!!

Code: Select all

registerEvent(table thisTable, string internalEventName, string functionToCall, boolean callBeforeMain)


This change is necessary to make a unique instance of a API.

In Addition for both api-developers and normal users:

Spoiler

* loadAPI is no longer using 'require'. I've writte my own loading function.
It will search in following paths for an API:
"{SMBXPath}\LuaScriptsLib\{apiName}.lua"
"{SMBXEpisodePath}\{apiName.lua}"
"{SMBXEpisodePath}\{CustomLevelFolder}\{apiName}.lua"
* loadSharedAPI added: Loads or gets (if already loaded) a shared instance of an API. (lunaworld.lua and lunadll.lua will reference the same API memory)
* hud(boolean displayHud) add: Toggle hud display on/off

Because there are lot of code changes I mark this version as "BETA". If there are any problems then please let me know!

[Sambo]

What is the "type" parameter of the placeSprite function for? I can't find any information about it anywhere.

It seems that your link still downloads v 0.3.4.2.

[Kevsoft]

What is the "type" parameter of the placeSprite function for? I can't find any information about it anywhere.

Unfortunatly I don't know much either. The only thing I can give over is that:

Code: Select all

////////////////////////////
/// BUILTIN SPRITE TYPES /// ****************************************************************************************************

   BST_Static = 1,
   BST_Normal = 2,
   BST_Item = 3,
   BST_Bar = 4,
   BST_Phanto
};


It seems that your link still downloads v 0.3.4.2.

Oh darn, fixed it.

[Sambo]

That actually made me understand it better, though I have no idea what placing a sprite as a Phanto would do...
It seems that the loadImage function does not work in LunaLUA. At first I thought it was something I was doing wrong, but I tried to do the same thing in Autocode and it works just fine.
LUA codes:

Code: Select all

function onLoad()
  loadImage ("hud.bmp", 1, 0xff00dc);
  loadImage ("dcind.bmp", 2, 0xff00dc);
  loadImage ("dcslot.bmp", 3, 0xff00dc);
  PlaceSprite (1, 1, 174, 8)
end
function onLoop()
  hud(false)
end

Autocode:

Code: Select all

#-1
// --> Load image into slot 1 with transparency color FF00DC (Pink)
LoadImage,1,0xDC00FF,0,0,0,hud.bmp
PlaceSprite,1,1,0,0,0,0
#0
LunaControl,2,1,0,0,0,0

[Kevsoft]

Very strange indeed... But the lua code does hide the hud, right?

[Sambo]

Yes, it still hides the HUD and I can get the PrintText function to work. But the image codes don't work.
