So what future holds for LUA Scripting clientside ?
Posted: 18 Aug 2010, 18:29
Thought i do an article about lua scripting clientside
we all know that scripting clientside has never been a huge popular thing to do compared to hubside scripting since there is so much more you can do but times are changing and recently we been talking about a plugin interface for DC++ that has not yet been made into reality since arnetheduck hasnt given his consent to us implementing it but it has heavy support in DCDev.
I proposed a script manager that could connect to a central repository that allows the user to download scripts that the user wants kinda like Greasemonkey addon for firefox this could boost number of scripts that gets submitted also Thor proposed an improvment of startup.lua for clients.
For the BCDC++ startup.lua v3 visit: http://dcpp.hu/BCDCLuaAPI.html
also we would like to open the floor and get more input from the lua community what we can improve in the lua clientside api (if any) that way we can get rolling with more scripts for clientside and also decide who can host the repository and where probably gonna end up on sf but under whos command if a central repo was added since that is a nice idea
ideas, thoughts, criticism is welcomed
