RELEASE: LuaDevKit R2 BETA! A whole host of new features await.

Cool, its nice to see an Public ALPHA be released, a lot of hard beta testing went into this btw :p

I know ;)
Look forward to an update in the next few days
-= Double Post =-
I'll give you a hint, theres a new website up, with its own address.
You'll get the details after propagation
-= Double Post =-
OK, propagation has finished for me at least

visit:
www.luadevkit.com and see

I believe i found a bug. The 'save file' dialoge appears every (some number of line) if you hold the enter key in, while in the code window.

Its called autosave.
You can turn it off in the settings menu.
By default it happens every 45characters, but it can be any number (go to file, settings)

Teehee you included my clock snippet! BTW great work!

lolz, tactical- that snippet was convenient, i should hae used mine :p

Thanks!
-= Double Post =-
Uploaded the official readme and documentation.
www.luadevkit.com/documentation

This is great! Makes coding so much easier. I havent found any bugs yet, so well done beta testers (and Glynnder, of course).

Thanks!
Nice posts thing you got there too lol :p

Expect alpha release 5 or 6 to come out tonight by the way ;)

I don't understand how to open this on a windows, do I just click on LDK.jar and let it execute or edit the test.cmd.

just click LDK.jar and let it execute
-= Double Post =-
Although I'd just wait until beta 5/6 comes out
-= Double Post =-
Expect an alpha coming tonight, allowing you to preview any file on your computer!

glyndder go on msn or aim :)

ok, on.

No offence to you Glynnder, or anyone who likes this app, but this just takes the experience out of coding, it's lua, they should learn to code it, not just click buttons :(

They dont.
To be honest, I made it so they can't- thats basically the main reason I havent and maybe wont implement drag-n-drop

Couple things...

One: You might want to mention somewhere thats very easy to notice (not embedded into a license since most do not read them completely) that you have to run the JAR file, as I have WinRAR setup to open them, and I did. I can see all your code and what not but i dont use Java nor know its syntax..
Two: Turn OFF word wrap... Or atleast have a setting for such.

Three: The Auto-Save... keeps popping that save file dialog - when it should just save to the current LUA script, and not ask for where it is (especially since its already open)

Four: Also on Auto-Save, put a switch so you can choose for characters, or a timer of some sort (like every 1 minute itll save).

Five: On the Extended Details page, please fix your grammar mistake - it says something like: #letters until autosave. There should be a space between the # and Character... Simple fix Im sure

Six: Make the Preview box always-on-top or have an option for such... I would really like a full screen code editor, but since I cant see the preview thing, I get lost on what to correct and whatnot, so i go back and forth...

Seven: Make an error dialog window so itll print out what is wrong in your script, and possibly go to that line indicated (if you can read from a CMD prompt with java...)

Eight: Might want to fix the Msg Dialog thing where it says #letters until autosave... Last time I checked, a symbol ($%^&*@) and a number (123456) arent letters, rather characters. So, change it to # characters until autosave ;)



So an Always On Top option for the Preview window and all the above will make this an app Ill use as my PSP Lua IDE ;)

P.S. Sorry for the criticism... Just what I thought would make this a very handy app.

One more thing... I cant seem to get a Preview of a script running.... Any idea as to why? Is it cause its not implemented or just something im doing wrong..

Couple things...

One: You might want to mention somewhere thats very easy to notice (not embedded into a license since most do not read them completely) that you have to run the JAR file, as I have WinRAR setup to open them, and I did. I can see all your code and what not but i dont use Java nor know its syntax..

Thats in the documentation, and you can't see the code, if you have any .java files then there's something wrong with eclipse ;)

Two: Turn OFF word wrap... Or atleast have a setting for such.

I know, I was meananing to do that since day one, I'll do that.

Three: The Auto-Save... keeps popping that save file dialog - when it should just save to the current LUA script, and not ask for where it is (especially since its already open)

If you have saved it then a dialog box shouldnt pop up

Four: Also on Auto-Save, put a switch so you can choose for characters, or a timer of some sort (like every 1 minute itll save).

I have, go to File > Settings

Five: On the Extended Details page, please fix your grammar mistake - it says something like: #letters until autosave. There should be a space between the # and Character... Simple fix Im sure

Yep ;)

Six: Make the Preview box always-on-top or have an option for such... I would really like a full screen code editor, but since I cant see the preview thing, I get lost on what to correct and whatnot, so i go back and forth...

That I can't do, as the preview box is actually another application NOT made by me...

Seven: Make an error dialog window so itll print out what is wrong in your script, and possibly go to that line indicated (if you can read from a CMD prompt with java...)

Made that now, its porving hard, and is only going to the system at the moment

Eight: Might want to fix the Msg Dialog thing where it says #letters until autosave... Last time I checked, a symbol ($%^&*@) and a number (123456) arent letters, rather characters. So, change it to # characters until autosave

lol, ok (in fact i'll make it keys)....

So an Always On Top option for the Preview window and all the above will make this an app Ill use as my PSP Lua IDE
I guess it wont quite be then :(
-= Double Post =-
oh ok, i see what you mean about the timer thing, i wont be doing that at the moment. i cba to add a timer
-= Double Post =-
gah- line wrapping cannot be changed

Glynnder sorry I have'nt been able to give you any feedback about it yet. I've been very busey this week and have'nt had time and I also had to reinstall windows so I need do download JRE again.

Then the boot you get ;)

I'll let him stay, see what kind of feedback he does give ;)

GUYS: BETA VERSION RELEASED WITH- YOU'VE GUESSED IT- ERROR NOTIFICATION

Seriously? Does that mean we can break into the code and manually step through the script?

What LDKs code?

Or your lua script?

OK, i havent actually got debugging- I only have error notification, but its better than nothing?

thanks for implementing debugging, thats pretty much the last thing i needed (other than 3d) awesome1!!!!11!1

no problem, hope ya like it ;)

Ah, slight letdown then :(. That is the sole one feature that would make me instantly switch editors.

there is no other editors with such features as this one..... suit youreself

There are only two features here that I haven't seen in other editors.

1. Preview
2. A function tree list that inserts code (eg screen:print( ) ).

These two alone are not enough to make switch from an editor that I am used to.

All the other code editors that I use have code completion (to a degree), function parameter prompts, project explorers via individual projects, code block folding and various others.

As soon as runtime debugging is in, that's when I will definitely switch editors.

At the moment, I am looking at getting LuaEdit working with LuaPlayer Windows for debugging purposes.

May i ask what editor you currently use?

A little help every time that I try to run the Alpha or the Beta it keeps giving me an error the says Could not find the main class. Program will exit. I'm sure what the cause of that could be.

AHH! I Cant get this to run...

Are you having the same error?

When i try to run it, It doesnt run and a text file is made...

That seems even more complicated than mine.

Yes it is, xploren had the same problem before
xploren's post
But i was able to run the first version.But not this version?

I ran the pre-alpha fine but that was before I had install windows over again. I'm thinking it has to do with how I installed JRE.

hawk, that error means basically you have the wrong download.
There was one download going around that had no main class- this one DEFINITELY does

@Anti-QJ- That is either:
a) Security settings blocking LDK
b) dodgey install of JRE
