[RELEASE][UPDATE] G-Pack v2 now with shell and new games!
Hey,
So finally this beautiful day with the next version of our PSPLua Game Pack is here. Notice how we have changed the name to G-Pack. Yes, i have had a huge problem with keeping the dev team alive and with my exams. So to make a long story short, i kept on delaying the release. In fact, i promised i would release it on Sunday to some people. However, i now realize delaying my work helped, now that v.2 is a shell! Yes, this is a shell. Read the README for more instructions. Remember, being the leader isn't always easy, and sometimes it makes less time for developing. However, another important thing to know is that this release does include a project from another dev team: HazedMirror (this beta was made the by following hazedmirror members: Xploren, ZereoX, and SuperbatXS). Another thing to note is that the G-Pack contains 8 new games. Finally, what are the changes? Here is the spoiler for the UPDATED README:
Spoiler for README:
----Readme of G-Pack v.2----

This G-Pack now works on OE firmwares. The eboot has also been updated.

-SuperbatXS- organizer/leader of this dev team; helped make shell (battery part); developed Hedgehog Apocalypse; made options menu (not used by this release due to shell); added pics to eboot

---Installation---
1) Simply Put "Lua G-Pack v.2" into GAME folder of psp and run the eboot
2) If you would like to add your own lua game/app, simply put the folder of the game/app you wish to run into the "Games" folder (inside the "Lua G-Pack v.2"). The folder must have an index.lua inside in order to run properly. Also note some games may not work due to how they were developed. Games with a primary .lua file besides index.lua will not work. To make these games run, rename script.lua or whatever the main lua script of it is to index.lua
---Controls---
Analog stick: Move cursor
Cross: Open a menu
Up/down: Change selection in menu
Circle: Make selection in menu
Square: Stop Mp3
Triangle: Exit from photo view
Select: Restart
L: Toggle USB
R: View battery information
---Changes---
-Made this version a shell, which was intended for v.3
-Changed eboot to a custom one to play Mp3s
-The code was optimized, made more organized, and cleaned
-Removed ButtonTester (developed by SuperbatXS)
-Removed all apps developed by Xandu (because of his desire)
-It is now possible for you to add a lua game/app of your desire to the G-Pack
-G-Pack contains 8 new games:
1) Be Thou for the People BETA- developed by SG57 an amazing game based off of Fullmetal Alchemist; intense gfx and amazing gameplay with a beautiful menu. Note: This game is still in; Beta and is not a full release,little gameplay

3) Defend your PSP- developed by TacticalPinguin

Notes:
-You may play MP3's while playing a game or viewing images.
-Mp3 may (probably WILL) get skippy when playing games due to cpu usage
-If it crashes (comes up with an error) press start to restart the shell
-Mp3 may skip when opening/closing menus
-Names of pictures, games, and songs longer than 12 characters will not display the full name
-Only can play/view the first 21 photos/games/music because menus do not have scrolling
I never bribed him into including it... He asked me and I said fine with me, but itd be more of a tech demo... It has everything done but AI for the enemy and the special skills for Ed... I need help with the AI though as my implementation of it only has 1/2 of what I want it to do, work correctly... But feel free to run, jump, kick and whatnot between platforms and the ground, w/e suits you want I should just make it a beat em up where enemy after enemy comes at you, like a survival thing. Id change the storyline a bit, wouldnt be as hard as doing the story. It could open up a possibility for me to have little terrain morphers so the background changes and the platforms move... Ill think about it.
P.S. Does this version have the gfx in it?

Well, i hope you make a cool game too for v.3. I can't wait till i see what you will have included for next release! Also, i am actually going to get to program much better for the next release. Since the team is a bit more stable now, and now that the g-pack is organized much much more, it is much easier to simply add a game to it.
Did you put in santa's present quest, or is that too 'christmassy'?
And i have no idea what to make PM me some suggestions and ill have a go
..73%...74%...75%
Lol, yea the download speed is pretty fast. But yea, most of us will have to give you some suggestions for your game. You can mention them here too, since this is on-topic. Also, if you already finished the code for the santa's presents game, you can just change images and theme.
Yoyomacy- I was really confused with your situation. First you didn't want to be in team before, now you do. But obviously, you are angry that i didn't put luaairforce, but i promise i will put it in for v.3. However, there is a catch, you MUST update it to whatever. You have to add new features or bug fixes or whatever, but like i said. You have to update. This rule applies to everyone now: For every release, you must update your game/app or make a new one (including me).
Ever noticed how ALL the people that replied is the dev team members?
Anyways, I'm still kind of sad that all of my GFX is thrown away, but, nice job...
Well you were right, but we have someone else who posted above me. Anyways, my hard work was blown out also. I mean i was optimizing the code and adding features to TP's menu snippet. But, now that TP made the shell, my hard work is gone. However, i don't feel very sad b/c TP made an amazing shell!
Wow....it's taking a while for this to be front paged...
