Hallo!
I want to test lua scripts and I have installed fullmoon.dll in Moray
plugins folder, but Moray crashes while trying to use the plugin, with a
general protection fault error.
Have you any suggestion?
Thank you in advance,
;-)
Paolo

If you are trying to test your own plugin when you get this error message,
make sure you've correctly used the UID number. It's not enough to randomly
change some of the numbers from a sample plugin (like I first tried to do).

If this is not the problem then a little more information would be useful.

The problem is different.
The error comes at Moray startup while loading fullmoon.dll, i.e. I cannot
start Moray with this dll in plugins directory.
My OS is Windows 2000, Moray version is 3.5 and lua interpreter dll is the
latest I've found.
Thnak you,
;-)

When developing new plugins I sometimes get errors at two different times.
One can be at startup. When Moray loads the fullmoon.dll, fullmoon checks
for files with the (.lua) file extension. Plugins with missing or
incorrectly implemented functions can fall here. The other time they can
fail is when you try to create the object (result of the plugin code) in
Moray. The second one is usually with an error code from Lua.

Try removing all .lua plugins, but keep the fullmoon.dll

If that works, put your Lua plugin in the same folder as fullmoon.dll and
try again. If that also works, try to put other Lua plugins one by one,
testing if Moray crashes. Maybe there's some kind of conflict. Did you
generate a UID for it?

I did it!
Sorry for the late reply, but I was ill for the whole week...
Removing and re-storing all .lua files I've identified two corrupted files
and now Moray works correctly with fullmoon plugin.
Thank you very much for the support and have a nice day!

Which two .lua files were causing Moray to crash? I'd like to take a look
and see if there is something wrong with them or if it's something inside
FullMoon.

One of the file was related to shells.
Tomorrow I'll post you both.

A quick look shows that the your copy of Parkett.lua has an incomplete
"function Parkett:getProperties()", it's missing the UID number. I haven't
had time to look further.

The plugin parkett.lua is missing the UID in function
Parkett:getProperties(), this can cause Moray to crash. Did you try the
files one at a time or the files already tested were being left in the
plugins directory?

This plugin (AFAIK) has never worked and it crashes Moray indeed. Years ago
I mentioned this somewhere but no action was taken (?)

Perhaps you have a more recent version? My original message dates from
January 11, 2003 and was answered by Stephen. here it is:

My message:
....
- the karpett.lua plugin does not work (neither in version 3.3). There is an
error message at startup (hidden behind the Moray start screen, and thus not
readable)
 ....

Stephen's answer:

After looking at the plugins listed with the Winpov editor:
parkett.lua Suffers from what looks like a word warp problem. Line 186 needs
to be
restored to its original length.
For this plugin I think the next line (187) should be the
   pov:write(" translate <-.5,-.5,0> ")
I will send the author an email.
....

So there it is, as far as my information goes. Unfortunately, I do not
remember where I downloaded the plugin. If it has been corrected, I would
like to download it again...

I thought I had dumped the parkett.lua plugin, but I found a copy at last. I
had forgotten the message of StephenS, so now I corrected the line wrap,
and..... the plugin works!

Thanks, Arne, for reminding me that the world is (sometimes) less complex
than it looks like  ;-)

The files already tested were being left in plugin directory.
It could be a UID problem
Thank you,
;-)
