LunaLua not working

[Shadowblitz16]

hello I recently installed the vcredist_x86.exe

however when I follow the instructions on how to use the SMB3 overhaul nothing happens

I included LuaWorld.lua both in..
"SMBX 2.0 Open Beta-Release 2\worlds\SMB3" and
"SMBX 2.0 Open Beta-Release 2\worlds\SMB3\Level1"
and inside it put...

Code: Select all

_smb3overhaul = loadAPI("smb3overhaul");

onLoad()
{
	_smb3overhaul.setSecondsLeft(100);
	_smb3overhaul.setTimerState(true);
	_smb3overhaul.usesPBar(true);
	_smb3overhaul.useEasyMode(false);
	_smb3overhaul.usesCard(true);
	_smb3overhaul.disableSpinJump(true);
}

however it doesn't work it the SMBX legacy editor when I test my level
I am using the SMBX launcher so idk

onLoad() won't do anything. It's function onLoad(). There's also no reason to have table brackets. I have no idea why those are there. loadAPI() is also deprecated; use API.load() instead. It should also be local _smb3overhaul in the first line. You seem to have no idea what you're writing from what I see here

do I use the "LuaWold.lua" file in my level's folder or in my episode's folder?

[Yoshi021]

Its "lunaworld.lua" not "LuaWold.lua". You want to use "lunaworld.lua" when you want scripts to affect every level in an episode. You place "lunaworld.lua" in the episode folder.

[Shadowblitz16]

do I need to include it in lunadll.lua?
if so what do I write?

[Yoshi021]

If you write code on the "lunaworld.lua" it will affect the entire episode automatically.

[Shadowblitz16]

ok so I got my file lunaworld.lua
however I get an error of "unexpected symbol near '.' "

Code: Select all

local _smb3overhaul = API.load("smb3overhaul");
local _smb3goalcard = API.load("smb3goalcard");
local _smb3inventory = API.load("sbm3inventory");

function onLoad()

	--SMB3 OverHaul--
	local _smb3overhaul.setSecondsLeft(100);
	local _smb3overhaul.setTimerState(true);
	local _smb3overhaul.usesPBar(true);
	local _smb3overhaul.useEasyMode(false);
	local _smb3overhaul.usesCard(true);
	local _smb3overhaul.disableSpinJump(true);
	
	--SMB3 GoalCard--
	smb3card.usesCard(true)
	
	--SMB3 Inventory--
end

Don't put local when editing elements of an already existing table.

Also, you define API.load("smb3goalcard") as "_smb3goalcard" but then use it as "smb3card" later on.

[Shadowblitz16]

ok now it says
on line 1 attempt to index global 'API' (a nil value)

Your LunaLua is outdated.

so I got it working however only fonts are showing
there seems to be the p meter working too kinda..
once the pmeter graphics are drawn they don't go away

[Shadowblitz16]

does anybody know why SMB3_Overhaul is not drawing and updating the graphics properly?

Pretty sure that's because the API is pretty outdated.

nope I updated to the most recent version of lunalua
I downloaded it from http://wohlsoft.ru/LunaLua/

[Emral]

The API is outdated, it wasn't updated in ages. It was not made by the people who update LunaLua itself. Updating lunalua won't provide a nonexistent update to the API.

oh I thought you guys meant lunalua when you your referred to "API"

how do I update this API you guys are talking about

[PixelPest]

You don't. Or you could rewrite/update it yourself, but that would probably be quite a bit of work
