Big file LUAC

[Jayceon]

Hello reader.

I tried today to compile one big lua file (2 to 5 MB) but every luac compiler return error.

I tried the https://luac.multitheftauto.com/ and the Windows batch file, but the result not changed.

 

Thanks any answer.

Are you sure that there are definitely no syntax errors or whatever in that file? The compiler will return an error if the code isn't correct, maybe you're missing an 'end' or something. Try loading the uncompiled file and see if it executes.

I'm pretty sure the compiler can process a lot larger files, larger than 5 MB.

No errors. I see other server compiled 5mb lua file (vehiclenodes).

The compiler gives this: ERROR Could not read file

what did you saved in it? You might want to consider splitting it up in multiple files even if it is a large table.

I'm tried to compile vehicle nodes because i'm curious.

Same happened to me, it was bcuz the script contained errors.

then you should be able to split the file, but indeed strange.

Probably because the process took to long to execute and got killed.
