| 22:06.43 | AuntieEm | Anyone around ot answer a few basic questions (no actual code questions) |
| 22:07.12 | Imhothar | if its not code questions you're in the wrong room ;) |
| 22:07.33 | AuntieEm | Actaully, I think I am despite that :) |
| 22:08.15 | AuntieEm | What I'd like to know, is hwo to get started, but I'll give a bit of background first. Iv'e coded for decades (c/c++/tcl/js/java/VN/c#/etc) |
| 22:08.29 | AuntieEm | Iv'e got an IDE for Lua |
| 22:09.15 | AuntieEm | so waht I mostly don't know is A) Lua (But nto the question here) B) How do I take the script, adn get to laoding it into Rift? |
| 22:09.28 | AuntieEm | Is there a good FAQ for that? |
| 22:09.58 | AuntieEm | (for example, Imaintainesd a5k+ line eggdrop for may years on undernet) |
| 22:09.59 | Imhothar | riftui has a wiki, not sure how up to date it is |
| 22:10.32 | AuntieEm | And that's the one in the /topic, right? |
| 22:11.08 | ZorbaBeta | auntie, there's a forum for addon development. in that forum is an example addon or two - you can grab that, explore the files to see how it works, and understand the basic layout |
| 22:11.30 | AuntieEm | Excellent, thanks :) Sure I'll be back later with atual code questions, lol. |
| 22:11.37 | ZorbaBeta | also on the forum is a full API reference guide, though there's also a fantastic addon called ApiBrowser that includes all the documentation ingame |
| 22:11.50 | ZorbaBeta | as well as a few HTML-formatted versions you can find, though I think they're slightly out of date |
| 22:12.05 | AuntieEm | I'm looking at simle stuff, so those hould be sufficient |
| 22:12.14 | AuntieEm | simple* |
| 22:12.21 | ZorbaBeta | excellent :) |
| 22:12.32 | ZorbaBeta | this IRC channel isn't super-busy but you'll get answers in here eventually (most of the time) |
| 22:13.26 | AuntieEm | I'm used to lurking on channels, measured in decades, wont' be a problem. May even ahve to reinstall XChat |
| 22:13.35 | ZorbaBeta | that's what I'm using :V |
| 22:15.37 | AuntieEm | I've been off IRC for like 18 months now, after 20 years, so jsut use dhte web client for a wuick and dirty connection |
