Implementing Lua into the source engine is not a trivial task. My mod team is on our second incarnation of it, and we have been working on it for 2years.
If you cannot get past the build stage, then perhaps you should not be trying to implement lua into source. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Secretive Loon" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 1:04 AM To: <[email protected]> Subject: [hlcoders] Implementing LuaBind in a Clean Orange Box Mod > I don't think this email got through the first time so I'm resending.
