Oops, I copy/pasted wrong then, sorry. Fixed now

Um. I can't compile because apparently MWin32Window.cpp is full of chinese... but MScript compiled fine... so I'll just submit anyway?

Does long change in length based on architecture? I think that pushPointer is probably a better solution as it's more obvious what it takes

void MScript::pushPointer(void* value){
        lua_pushinteger(m_state, (lua_Integer)value);
}

the size of void* definitely changes based on architecture, and it reads quite nicely. I'll make the change and submit during my lunch break (in 30 mins)

That looks great!

Is it possible for you to come on IRC at some point today? I can sort out access to dropbox, and can set you up with access to the project at github. (don't expect me online in the next ~hour, I'm on a train)

If you can't come online, just fire me off an email and we can set it all up over that

Build 3.1 Bug #1 Apparently I forgot to package the shader directory I'll fix this and submit it tomorrow

I've just done a quick test

    const char* params[10];
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
        params\[i\] = script->getString((unsigned int)(i - 5));

Wow. lua is weird. Both positive and negative work :S Weird. I wonder why all lua docs I've read would take negative numbers

Yeah, I've been trying for a couple of days to get it running. Usually it loaded, but my behaviour names were garbage (which caused segfaults when trying to select/load them) even though, under Linux, it worked perfectly. I just tried another compile now and it just worked. No code changes. Nothing. Weird. My guess is that Visual Studio was playing silly and decided not to recompile some objects for some reason before, then realised just now that something had, in fact, changed...

The live screen thing is awesome! I have no idea what I can use it for... but I want to!

Nice! So the post processing can be sorted from lua?

Looking forward to the builds

I'm having trouble with the Windows version of the game.dll right now, for some reason it doesn't seem to want to load properly, I'm not sure why

EDIT: scratch that. Windows is working now

I haven't seen much missing in the script. To be honest, I think the only way that anyone can find these is to just use the system in anger and come up with things.

BitPuffin has been looking at the scripting a good deal more than me recently, so he might be able to tell you some more.

The build would be great. Obviously no rush, as I know what it's like to be busy (I still can barely do any personal dev work apart from during my commute. Even today, I'm at work... meh!)

With regards to the documentation, I think that is really a community effort. No one person, even yourself, who wrote the system, can know all the perculiarities with everything. I'm not sure how to best promote the wiki and get people to contribute. If the community was a little larger, I'd suggest maybe something like a points system where new pages got X points and then edits that get voted as being good get Y points... When I get some time (with or without points) I will do what I can to fill in the wiki.

That's awesome! Thanks

The way I've seen it done in the past is to get a callback every (say) 100 bytes that are read. As you have things like the mesh loader which does a lot of stuff that isn't just reading, you get a reasonable feedback of how much is happening by how quick things are animating. I don't think there's a major issue with 3rd party libraries, because I think most of them are tied into the MFile wrapper. Having had a look, libsndfile uses MFile directly, so M_fread wouldn't necessarily make sense, maybe moving it into MFile might...

You're right, this wouldn't work for a loading bar. I can't think of a nice way at this point of making a loading bar work though. Potentially you could have a count of the objects in the scene, calculate a percentage for each of them, then say 50% of the object is mesh loading, 50% is texture loading. As it loads the objects into the scene, it sends a callback for every 1% or something.
