Suggestion: Automatic Script Loading

[ikarius]

Hello,

I don't know if it exist yet, but it would be nice to have a "automatic script" loading feature so people don't have to browse for the Lua file. If it exist, I am sorry if I didn't notice it.

Thanks !

I think Zhen asked for the same feature as well.  I am working on something related, so this will definitely be the way in the future.  It will not be in version 0.5, maybe 0.6.  It will definitely be possible when I release the source code and then every one can just do their own build.

Have fun!

Hi waruwaru,

If you need help in developping Lua player, I can always help. I can code in C/C++ and I even tried doing modification to the PSP lua player, but the environment for the compile never worked for me for some reason I don't know, not that I really cared because I knew shine was working on the same thing. If you want to contact me, feel free to do it by msn at ikarius@dancerebirth.com

When we have the "automatic script" feature, it can be possible to create an User Distribution with several of the apps. So that more people can play with it.

It would be even better if this idea could be taken a step further, and allow for a "compile" feature.

I know that this goes slightly against the grain for a scripting system, but the ability to create a single NDS rom file for distribution to other homebrew users would be great.

Failing that, having an "autorun" script would be great.

Well, the GBFS flavour have a compile-esque behaviour, the PACK.BAT. It generates one single rom file.

when is 0.6 coming out? 

And I hope this is in 0.6 -- it is a big must-have.

HAHAHAHAHA! NEAT! The coder sypherce has struck again! I came to him with this request, and already he has finished it! It too will be released in the 0.6 bundle! (Lovin' it!)
