How can I compile a lua script.

[Anderl]

Use Lua compiler, it comes in Lua for Windows.

The fact that people are getting more blind every day just makes me crazy. People think everything is magically thrown towards them. Don't bother starting to program or script if you don't give a single duck about it.

Open your script with notepad++ and go to "Encoding" tab, set the encoding to "UTF-8 without BOM".

If it still doesn't compile, check if your script has syntax errors.

Ok, it should work fine. What doesn't work exactly?

[cs8898]

The script dosnt load

[Anderl]

Any errors?

[cs8898]

No, nothing

[Anderl]

You must have did something wrong.. It's all okay.

Open your script with notepad++ and go to "Encoding" tab, set the encoding to "UTF-8 without BOM".

If it still doesn't compile, check if your script has syntax errors.

I have one tab called "codering", for me it is not encoding(dutch version but it should not really matter..). In that tab there is UTF-8 without BOM converting.

When I set him to "UTF-8 without BOM converting", nothing happend, the script does not have any errors.

Do you have some plugins or?

[Castillo]

I set the encoding, then save the script, then compile.

[Anderl]

I don't know why is compilling needed anyway, you can simply load client files into memory only.

[IIYAMA]

But why this encoding? I won't see the difference.

[Castillo]

You can't compile a file with UTF-8 encoding.

[IIYAMA]

ok, which encoder do you use?

[Castillo]

I use notepad++.
