09:44.16tynodyHi guys :P
09:45.35tynodyHey Computerpunk, i posted onto your thread about apprentices and i was curious if you could stear me into the correct direct to learning LUA.

23:10.21tynodyhey :P
23:11.13tynodyanyone alive? :P
23:13.38ComputerpunkHey.
23:13.39ComputerpunkI am.
23:13.41ComputerpunkBut going off soon.
23:13.46tynodyOh alright
23:13.47ComputerpunkSorry for earlier, meant to respond, but was AFK.
23:13.52ComputerpunkRegarding that post, I know.
23:13.53tynody:P no problem
23:13.53Computerpunk:D
23:14.22ComputerpunkDo you have any programming experience?
23:14.50tynodyvisual basic from a college class, but i dont remember too much other then how if elseif else works lol
23:15.14tynodyiv read over some LUA stuff and it looks similar in the syntax
23:15.31ComputerpunkLua has the most simple syntax (as far as I know).
23:15.44tynodywell thats great :) easier to understand
23:15.45ComputerpunkAnd it's pretty basic.
23:15.48ComputerpunkYep.
23:15.51ComputerpunkReally easy to understand
23:16.15ComputerpunkHaven't fiddled with lua for about a month, been focusing on C++ for national contests and shit.
23:16.55tynodySo where do i go to adapt LUA to WAR addon creation? i dont know where to go to find how to like, lets say create a unit frame for my player. Basic HP/AP bars. Where would i go to find how to create one?
23:17.40Computerpunkwww.thewarwiki.com
23:17.44Computerpunksomewhere in API
23:17.45Computerpunklemme link
23:17.56tynodyyeah the API thing is confusing as hell to me
23:18.00Computerpunkhttp://www.thewarwiki.com/wiki/WAR_API
23:18.01ComputerpunkThis.
23:18.06ComputerpunkThat's how it should be, lol.
23:18.14tynodylol
23:18.35ComputerpunkSo, creating bars.
23:18.54ComputerpunkWell, looking at other Unit Frame code isn't too useful, but looking at the EA one should be.
23:19.06tynodyOh where can i see that?
23:19.07Computerpunkhttp://code.google.com/p/easymyp/
23:19.08ComputerpunkThis.
23:19.24ComputerpunkUse it to open interface.myp
23:19.32ComputerpunkAnd extract the files within.,
23:19.54tynodyalright hold on a sec let me extract it :P
23:19.55ComputerpunkAnother way would be using: http://code.google.com/p/war-diff/source/browse/trunk
23:20.23ComputerpunkOr using Tortoise SVN to browse that repo.
23:20.28tynodyuh oh. does this work on 64bit vista? lol
23:20.32ComputerpunkOr any other SVN.
23:20.41ComputerpunkDunno about the tool
23:20.46ComputerpunkBut get some SVN tool and browse that code.
23:20.53ComputerpunkThat repo*
23:21.07ComputerpunkYou need help with that?:D
23:21.20tynodyIm running compatability mode, hopefully this works lol
23:22.02ComputerpunkLet's hope so.
23:22.10tynodyoh god its just a bunch of random numbers and letters lol
23:22.17tynodyinside the interface.myp i mean
23:22.20ComputerpunkShit.
23:22.24ComputerpunkIt's not updated for 1.3.2.
23:22.28Computerpunkjust remembered
23:22.36tynodyahh darn
23:22.42ComputerpunkSo then.
23:22.47ComputerpunkGot some SVN tool?
23:22.53tynodyAVN?
23:22.55tynodySVN*
23:22.59ComputerpunkSubversion.
23:23.05tynodyno idea what that is lol
23:23.20Computerpunkhttp://tortoisesvn.net/downloads
23:23.21ComputerpunkGet this.
23:23.30ComputerpunkInstall it.
23:23.35ComputerpunkRestart and shit.
23:23.50ComputerpunkSelect a folder, right click and SVN Checkout:
23:23.51tynodygonna need to restart my PC?
23:23.57ComputerpunkType in the following link: http://war-diff.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
23:24.00ComputerpunkYeah..
23:24.04tynodydamn lol
23:24.10Computerpunk<.<
23:24.20ComputerpunkIt integrates with the Explorer.
23:24.40tynodyoh i see
23:24.50tynodyi cant just restart explorer.exe?
23:25.04ComputerpunkDon't think it'll work that way.
23:25.24tynodyoh alright
23:25.59Computerpunkhttp://code.google.com/p/war-diff/downloads/list
23:25.59ComputerpunkLOL
23:26.00ComputerpunkNVM
23:26.03ComputerpunkDownload that.
23:26.06Computerpunkt.t
23:26.17ComputerpunkI failed.
23:26.22ComputerpunkDidn't see that.
23:26.25tynodyhehe
23:26.26ComputerpunkI'm rusty.
23:26.27ComputerpunkxD
23:26.50tynodyoh is this the extracted mythic code?
23:26.57ComputerpunkYeah.
23:27.02tynodyalright cool
23:27.05ComputerpunkThese are the Lua files which create the interface.
23:27.14ComputerpunkThis is where we got all the data until now about WAR.
23:27.18ComputerpunkAnd also testing. XD
23:27.24tynody:P
23:27.36tynodyso i dont need Tortoise?
23:27.41ComputerpunkAnyhow, scripting for private servers on WoW is giving me headaches.
23:27.44ComputerpunkNope, you don't need yet.
23:27.56ComputerpunkThat's for later usage
23:28.00ComputerpunkProbably when you use curseforge
23:28.21tynodyalright
23:28.38tynodyso i just look at that LUA and figure it out from there?
23:28.51ComputerpunkWell, mostly the functions.
23:28.54tynodyi dont need any other programs to test it right? i can just run it in WAR
23:29.00ComputerpunkYep.
23:29.14tynodyis there a quicker way then restarting WAR every time i make a change?
23:29.15ComputerpunkYou've got framework in .xml files too
23:29.20Computerpunk<PROTECTED>
23:29.32tynodythat reloads the files if they are changed?
23:29.50tynodybecause i know in wow it didnt like to read new files
23:29.54ComputerpunkOf lua I know.
23:29.59tynodyalright
23:30.00Computerpunk.mod and .xml I don't konw.
23:30.09ComputerpunkAnd in WoW it read changed Lua files.
23:30.11tynodythose shouldnt be changed much anyways i wouldnt think
23:30.17tynodyOh it did?
23:30.20ComputerpunkYeah.
23:30.27ComputerpunkJust not new ones because that required a new .toc reading.
23:30.30ComputerpunkWhich won't happen.
23:30.41ComputerpunkAnyhow, ummm.
23:30.55tynodyso i DLed LUA for windows, do i need this?
23:30.57ComputerpunkMake your own AddOn using the format from www.thewarwiki.com
23:31.06ComputerpunkWell, it's for testing out Lua chunks.
23:31.49ComputerpunkWithout having to go ingame and stuff.
23:31.49ComputerpunkLike
23:31.49tynodybut it wont show me if i did it correctly, becuase its just basic LUA, not LUA WAR or w/e right?
23:31.49tynodyseems easier to just use war
23:31.49Computerpunklua> string.gfind("myword", "word", "lol")
23:31.49lua_botComputerpunk: function: 0x98f2fe0
23:31.50Computerpunkwait
23:32.00Computerpunklua> a = string.gfind("myword", "word", "lol") print(a)
23:32.01lua_botComputerpunk: function: 0x83d3b88
23:32.04ComputerpunkHmmm.
23:32.05ComputerpunkI failed.
23:32.08tynodylol
23:32.09ComputerpunkLet's see where.
23:32.29tynodywhat does gfind do?
23:32.30ComputerpunkYeah, you don't have the WAR Lua implemented.
23:32.32Computerpunkglobalfind
23:32.51tynodyi dont have what?
23:33.16ComputerpunkWAR Api.
23:33.25ComputerpunkAs in the WAR functions you can use ingame
23:33.27ComputerpunkWritten by Mythic.
23:33.29tynodyya
23:33.44tynodyAlright thanks for the help, i dont want to hold you up
23:34.00Computerpunk^_^
23:34.02tynodythanks for the push in the right direction :P
23:34.06Computerpunkhttp://lua-users.org/wiki/StringLibraryTutorial
23:34.08ComputerpunkHere's some info
23:34.12ComputerpunkAbout string functions
23:34.26ComputerpunkLol, gfind = failure.
23:34.28Computerpunkgsub
23:34.29ComputerpunkxD
23:34.45tynodyno idea lol
23:34.50Computerpunklua> a=string.gsub("myword", "word", "otherword") print(a)
23:34.51lua_botComputerpunk: myotherword
23:34.53ComputerpunkxD
23:35.04ComputerpunkReplaces all instances of "word" with "otherword"
23:35.19tynodyoh neat
23:35.31Computerpunklua> a=string.gsub("abcdefghabcdefgh", "jklmnopqrstu", "abcdefgh") print(a)
23:35.31lua_botComputerpunk: abcdefghabcdefgh
23:35.40ComputerpunkLol
23:35.41Computerpunksec
23:35.51Computerpunklua> a=string.gsub("abcdefghabcdefgh", "abcdefgh", "jklmnopqrstu") print(a)
23:35.52tynodywelcome back
23:35.52lua_botComputerpunk: jklmnopqrstujklmnopqrstu
23:35.53ComputerpunkThis
23:35.54ComputerpunkxD
