a) Not a big deal

b) Still available on server

Stop whining about it, please.

this slightly annoys me actually, it was very useful in admin commands since you could run whatever you like to debug or fix stuff without worrying about infinite loop crashing the whole server

but yeah its not that big of a deal, everything else should keep working, if anything that isnt admin commands or script builder breaks its shameful scripting and shouldnt have been allowed on this planet anyways

Mind if I ask how SBs are shameful scripting? You should really elaborate before saying things that are completely untrue, asshat.

Or maybe you should read more closely before calling someone an asshat ._.
He didn't say script builders are shameful scripting, he said anything that _is not_ a script builder or admin command script that uses client loadstring is shameful scripting

@Filip

I think I read quite closely; it's blatant that he was making fun of my friend, Kohl, a famous DLL creator, who made an epic admin command script. So why don't you get off your alt, and talk to me face to face?

or that ...

not that I don't hate SBs, but I can see why people use loadstring() there

Couldn't you just use another method of parsing strings?

Just look at Databrain's admin commands script, specifically ;s and ;ls.

@Coolio
Speaking of that, im making a Lua Interpreter right now.
Wich is using string parsing to create a custom loadstring.

Eww, don't use Lua string matching to make a loadstring function.

Just port Lua's C code to Lua. (That sounds amazingly awesome.)

Port Lua's C code to Lua? I doubt it's that simple. Lua's C implementation likely makes use of low-level features that Lua doesn't have (and permissions RBX.Lua will never see). A Lua implementation would be very different, and if you just translated the C, a lot of it would be unnecessary since you already have all the Lua features in Lua (well duh)

well

it was already ported to C#, and C# is one step closer to Lua from C, sooo...

I suppose it's possible.

Not to mention you'd also have to rewrite any Lua standard library thingys you want to use in Lua


so yea not gonna happen but you can try

But C# has a lot that Lua (especially RBX.Lua) doesn't

(btw: I'm not saying it's hard to implement a Lua interpreter in Lua, I'm saying you're better off doing something other than a direct translation of C)

If you -really- want to do that... just make an interpreter for the bytecode, because I mean, we can just ask the server to return the compiled form of it (use HttpService to ask some server to compile it and return the resultant bytecode). You now do not have to write the parser at all, just the interpreter.

@LuaWeaver

Okay - lemme look at how Lua compiles without interpreter support, so you can only use compiled lua files.

With a shell, it should be really easy. Here's a simple example.

cat - > example.lua
luac -o example.luac example.lua

That'll read from stdin and put it into example.lua, then compile example.lua and spit the output straight to example.luac. You could of course directly compile stdin.

luac -o example.luac -

But for whatever reason, it's not working for me.
