Hey guys,

Well, i've got a verrrrrrry buggy version of the PSP application store released, which still doesnt work as it is required to.. DOWNLOADING APPLICATIONS. The region im Failing misreably is in the Reading from a text files called info.txt, which loads the HOMEBREW names, and the HOMEBREW QJ Id's. Now i need some one to(preferablly a programmer) to check my code especially around line 102. It's all coded in PGE lua.

You can Download the Zip file here, the src is Script.lua . And to see the error message just run the eboot.pbp on your psp.
Direct link is also available
HERE-638kb.

Thanks!

Hi!

So this is a BETA release which doesen't even work and you're asking someone to fix your code?
You can't read a text file? Why are you developing a "complex" application then?
First learn LUA and then develop an application...

I don't want to start a flame or insult you, but it seems pointless to me to start developing an application without even be capable of reading a text file.
What should I expect from this homebrew?

EDIT: And why should someone donate $2.45 for a script of about 120 lines (and I also counted the blank lines)?

Ciaooo

Oh yes, I'm sure you can fix those 120 lines of code in a few days.

I didn't want to stop you...do what you want, just asking what's the point.

**Zack_PSP** · 09-22-2009, 03:05 AM

I have to agree with the other two guys here.

Manaxed I really would recommend taking a step back and learning more about lua (in private), then when you have made something that works and is a worthwhile download then release it to the public.

The days of releasing unfinished, not working programs has gone in the PSP scene. The bar has been raised.

This isn't meant as an insult man, just advice.

Best of luck to you.

**elite999** · 09-22-2009, 03:27 AM

Guys, calm down.

@manaxed, don't take anything as a negative here. Everything has its good side. We all here want to help you. Take the advice of the elders, which don't want you to step in through a hole that they experienced in their developing journey.

**manaxed** · 09-22-2009, 04:29 AM

k but any one seen what i'm doin wrong in file reading.
-manaxed

**FaT3oYCG** · 09-22-2009, 07:28 AM

i didnt look at the code but im going to hazzard a guess that you failed epicly at the stage where you attempt to learn how to do it and practice?

dont take this offensively i havent read your code i made this based on the direction of the thread, ill take a look in a bit and fix it or teach you or something, do you want a tutor? im not going to code anything for you as im sick of people getting me to do that etc. etc. etc.

**manaxed** · 09-22-2009, 07:53 AM

yes please!!!!!

and could you tell me why it is not possible to download files from qj using this script.

if pge.net.isconnected() then
pge.net.postform("http://dl.qj.net/dl.php", "fid="..fid, 4096)
pge.net.getfile("http://dl.qj.net/dl.php?fid="..fid, name..".zip")
end

Thanks,

-Manaxed

**FaT3oYCG** · 09-22-2009, 08:39 AM

because you have to dl the file and not dl the the php file that generates the dl link

**manaxed** · 09-22-2009, 05:15 PM

@FaT3oyCG- YOU ROCK!

Then what do i put into the code to download, from dl link, cuz actually when i link to the php page, it should automatically redirect me to the download.

-Manaxed

**cmbeke** · 09-22-2009, 07:42 PM

to get the download you can use a download manager, contact qj for all dl links, or you can set up a server that hosts all your files so you get a direct download. If you do set up a server, one great idea would be to have it when you unzip a file you can play it right away, and have the downloading and unzipping to game directory. an example of what i mean, the game boxdestoryer, but in rar format http://homebrewnetwork.webs.com/PSP/...oyer%202.3.rar

Seriously, how did you make Dev Status?

This is why QJ sucks now. Too many noobs. You want to make QJ better? Get rid of the noobs and bring the vets back.

**manaxed** · 09-22-2009, 11:51 PM

Why does every one have a problem with me?
So what if i'm learning eh? These aren't YOUR forums.

-Manaxed

**FaT3oYCG** · 09-23-2009, 12:01 AM

yeah although you may be able to simply join the dev group only real devs have a black name as the dev group is their main group.

Aslo I think QJ needs the noobs but it also needs the vets back, noobs are fine as long as there are people here to teach them, many vets could never be bothered but that was ok because there were so many.

**elite999** · 09-23-2009, 02:16 AM

@Access_Denied, a_noob, a_noob. You can't anymore, haven't you seen the news lately of the site?

Gotta agree with a_noob, when i think dev staus, i'd say respected devs, released good homebrews more importantly they EARNED it.
Vets are either banned or just cba logging on anymore. I can't see hardly anymore returning.

**elite999** · 09-23-2009, 02:22 AM

Okay guys, remain on-topic.

**manaxed** · 09-24-2009, 08:03 AM

*sigh* I suck.. Well, i've moved to something easier. A drum kit, which allows people to create there own drumsets and load em into.

Why not make something easy & fun, like a simple game? A shooter isn't hard at all imo (atleast a basic one).
Make something useful, that people can enjoy for a couple of minutes.

**manaxed** · 09-24-2009, 05:50 PM

im working on A music homebrew.. it lets you create sound sets. So you could actually play basically every instrument off your psp as long as you have all sound..

-Manaxed.

**slasher101** · 09-24-2009, 06:38 PM

Want me to change the thread name and clean it up?

like i said theres loads of them, make something different & unique.

**FaT3oYCG** · 09-25-2009, 12:06 AM

I agree.

**manaxed** · 09-26-2009, 03:18 AM

Any Suggestions?

**FaT3oYCG** · 09-26-2009, 04:05 AM

I'd suggest you make a turn based strategy game which is what I plan to make after I have finished all of the tutorials that I'm writing.

lol have you noticed we are telling him to compete with us, that will never turn out well :P.

**elite999** · 09-26-2009, 01:38 PM

dan369, don't indirectly advertise your game. :P Kidding, well it is awesome.

I agree with FaT3oYCG.
