Compile lua file api

[DBY]

I want to compile a file using API mta. But there are two functions that do not exist in MTA (fileSave and fileLoad)

Any ideas?

https://luac.multitheftauto.com/api/

local FROM="example.lua" 
local TO="compiled.lua" 
fetchRemote( "https://luac.multitheftauto.com/?compile=1&debug=0&obfuscate=0", function(data) fileSave(TO,data) end, fileLoad(FROM), true )

You can write it...

function fileSave( File, Data ) 
    if( fileExists( File ) ) then 
        fileDelete( File ); 
    end 
  
    local File = fileCreate( File ); 
    fileWrite( File, Data ); 
    fileClose( File ); 
end 
  
function fileLoad( File ) 
    return fileRead( File, fileGetSize( File ) ); 
end

    fileWrite( File, Data ); 
    fileClose( File ); 
end 
  
function fileLoad( File ) 
    return fileRead( File, fileGetSize( File ) ); 
end 

That I had already tried, but still not working. (Now do not get errors in the debugscript)

Try

function fileSave( sFile, sData ) 
    if fileExists( sFile ) then 
        fileDelete( sFile ); 
    end 
  
    local pFile = fileCreate( sFile ); 
    fileWrite( pFile, sData ); 
    fileClose( pFile ); 
end 
  
function fileLoad( sFile ) 
    local pFile = fileOpen( sFile, true ); 
    
    local sData = fileRead( pFile, fileGetSize( pFile ) ); 
     
    fileClose( pFile ); 
     
    return sData; 
end 

[DBY]

Try

function fileSave( sFile, sData ) 
    if fileExists( sFile ) then 
        fileDelete( sFile ); 
    end 
  
    local pFile = fileCreate( sFile ); 
    fileWrite( pFile, sData ); 
    fileClose( pFile ); 
end 
  
function fileLoad( sFile ) 
    local pFile = fileOpen( sFile, true ); 
    
    local sData = fileRead( pFile, fileGetSize( pFile ) ); 
     
    fileClose( pFile ); 
     
    return sData; 
end 

Thank you very much for commenting, but these functions do the same thing that I've done.

PS: Still not working.

[Kenix]

Please show me full script.

[DBY]

function fileSave(filePath, fileContent) 
    if fileExists(filePath) then 
        fileDelete(filePath) 
    end 
    local file = fileCreate(filePath) 
    fileWrite(file, fileContent) 
    fileClose(file) 
end 
  
function fileLoad(filePath) 
    if fileExists(filePath) then 
        local file = fileOpen(filePath) 
        local fileContent = fileRead(file, fileGetSize(file)) 
        fileClose(file) 
        return fileContent 
    end 
end 
  
function fileCompile(FROM, TO) 
    if FROM and TO then 
            fetchRemote("https://luac.multitheftauto.com/?compile=1&debug=0&obfuscate=0", function(data) fileSave(TO, data) end, fileLoad(FROM), true) 
    end 
end 

The problem now is that it creates the file but the page returns "ERROR"

[N1kS]

Works for me:

function fileSave( sFile, sData ) 
    if fileExists( sFile ) then 
        fileDelete( sFile ); 
    end 
  
    local pFile = fileCreate( sFile ); 
    fileWrite( pFile, sData ); 
    fileClose( pFile ); 
end 
  
function fileLoad( sFile ) 
    local pFile = fileOpen( sFile, true ); 
    
    local sData = fileRead( pFile, fileGetSize( pFile ) ); 
    
    fileClose( pFile ); 
    
    return sData; 
end 
  
  
local FROM="example.lua" 
local TO="compiled.luac" 
fetchRemote( "https://luac.multitheftauto.com/?compile=1&debug=0&obfuscate=0",  
    function(data) 
        print( tostring( data ) ) 
        fileSave( TO, data )  
    end, fileLoad( FROM ), true );

Can be error from fileLoad.. not save..

[Noki]

The problem now is that it creates the file but the page returns "ERROR"

The page on a web browser displays "ERROR" when the uploaded file has a syntax error.

Or fileLoad or codification doesnt work

[Noki]

No, the file functions he is using return bools, file handlers or an integer representing a number of bytes either read or written. The only way "ERROR" could be returned is through fetchRemote.

[DBY]

The script creates the file, but inside it there is only "ERROR"

[UserToDelete]

function fileLoad(path) 
    local File = fileOpen(path, true) 
    if File then 
        local data = fileRead(File, fileGetSize(File)) 
        fileClose(File) 
        return data 
    end 
end 
  
function fileSave(path, data) 
    local File = fileCreate(path) 
    if File then 
        fileWrite(File, data) 
        fileClose(File) 
    end 
end 

[DBY]

function fileLoad(path) 
    local File = fileOpen(path, true) 
    if File then 
        local data = fileRead(File, fileGetSize(File)) 
        fileClose(File) 
        return data 
    end 
end 
  
function fileSave(path, data) 
    local File = fileCreate(path) 
    if File then 
        fileWrite(File, data) 
        fileClose(File) 
    end 
end 

Your code does the same job as my code. Still creates a file containing "ERROR".

[Noki]

If it throws an error when you try to compile the script on the website, then you have a syntax error in your script. It works fine for me and it throws "ERROR" when I try to compile a file with a syntax error.

I put "print()" into file i want compile. But still return "error"

Apparently, the problem is not the script, it's my localhost. FetchRemote not work, I tried some compilers and none worked for me.

Your comments are appreciated.

Lel, the test funct from getResourceScripts works perfectly for compiling

Just modify the funct.

Add xmlUnloadFile for meta xmlFile (or will keep opening files and stay loaded at memory).

Because you need to do port forwarding. Execute "openports" in your server console and it will you whether your ports are open or no. If no then do port forwarding.

Port forwarding (in regards to /openports) is for incoming connections, not outgoing. The API server already has the necessary ports open, and therefore connection should work (unless there's firewall the outgoing server)

I wonder why callRemote was not working for me when my ports were not open? Hmmm I think it was an year ago.
