VCMP Lua Plugin

As the name suggests, this plugin provides a scripting API for VCMP in Lua (yay!). Please check out the WIKI to learn about the structure of the plugin (its quite easy!)

Purpose of this project

The purpose of this project is mainly that I love Lua, and I also love C++, therefore to keep my practice in C++ I decided to work on this plugin with one of my favorite scripting languages (Lua).

The Lua config file

In your server directory you should place a luaconfig.ini file which will allow you to specify some settings the plugin can use. Some of these settings are optional while some (like specifying atleast 1 script file) is compulsory.

The file structure is as of right now very simple:

[config]
# Sets experimental mode ON (1) or OFF (0) | Intended for beta-testing and development only. Do not rely for stability
#experimental=1
# Sets the log level, See the Logger page on Wiki for more information
loglevel=0
# Sets the log file. This log file will be used to create daily logs and it will log everything logged by Logger class, regardless of level
logfile=DailyLogs.logs

[modules]
# This is the modules section, here you can opt in to use external modules that the plugin provides. They can be listed and toggled by setting them to a boolean

#moduleName=[true/false]
lanes=false

[scripts]
# This is the scripts section, here you can specify all your script files that you want to run.

# script=path/to/file.lua
script=lua/script.lua

Building the plugin

Windows

To build on Windows, just download the repository and run the win-build.bat file in the premake folder. You should be getting a Visual Studio 2019 solution file

NOTE: You can only build x64 of Lua plugin on Windows for now. Why? Cuz I'm too lazy to setup my environment to compile mariadb for x32 :D

Linux

To build on Linux:

• Download/Clone the repository
• Download premake and build it
• Inside the repository, call premake: path/to/premake5 gmake
• Now use make with your desired config: make config=release OR make config=release32
