hopefully posted in correct section and hopefully not considered as spam if the question has been up already. sorry if so but its really confusing out there at the moment.
hi all, i hope for some feed-back regarding the fact that old scripts from the ptokax software 0.3.2.6 can't be used in the above mentioned version.
is this something us deadly lurkers can do ourselfs, the changes i mean, or is it just to wait until the scripters make lua 5 compatible versions? or have i maybe missunderstod the entire thing and they are working in 0.3.2.6? mine does not.
thanks for any reply.
have a nice evening all!
Well, old sripts are not compatible with this px. You can try to convert the scripts or ask others here to do it for you. You will be welcome whichever way you choose.

I'm no scriptor, but i can copy, paste and edit a little bit. Don't forget the
IF statement is your friend. :D
This does most of it :)

This shows what DataArrival may need changing to. Or you could use this lump of code in your script.

These show how to do the rest

Pay perticular attention to
File handling and
Load and Save Tables as these are used the most. :)

... and they are a right pain in the @$$ to convert 8o :P
good evening again ba,
first of all thanks for your feed-back. i tried the links and also the convereter and it did changes to the script i'm talking about, FDB Database V.0.11 by c h i l l a, but once in ptokax the software replied "Syntax ... 0.3.3.0.b16.05.nt.dgb\scripts\F-Database-V-0.11.lua:19: F.DataBase/FDB1.ini for F-DataBase-V-0.1.lua not found".
to ask for a scripters help with the convertion would be to push my luck too far i think and i'm happy as it is for the feed-back. maybe something like this script will come sooner or later anyway. its a good feature to have, specially in a small and file specialised hub like mine.
once again cheers guys and have a nice evening and weekend!
For a guess it cannot find F.DataBase/FDB1.ini
