Would someone please fix the lube docs?

http://love2d.org/wiki/ClientObject

Connect to server is the description of ClientObject:send and downward. And all of those pages have the same content as ClientObject:Init...

(Also, I know I said I quit, but that does not mean I quit using love... Just the forums. And I'm coming back now because I'm stuck. >_<)

(And I had to ask someone with a faster computer to find the snow script so I could block it. It crashed the tab. T_T)

You said you quit? I thought it was your cousin.

I think the snowflake javascript that you have to block is http://uapps.org/snowstorm-min.js

I don't use lube, good luck on that one.

Well, whoever was transcribing it to the wiki either stopped early, or missed those functions. Regardless they can be found in the docs found with LUBE. Which I will possibly illegally post here:

Code: Select all

lube.server (...) 	Creates a server object
lube.server.tcp:acceptAll () 	Accepts connecting clients (TCP only)
lube.server:Init (port, socktype) 	Initializes the server
lube.server:checkPing (dt) 	Check for ping messages If clients are timed out, disconnect them
lube.server:receive () 	Receive data from clients
lube.server:respondToServBrowser (active, info) 	Sets if the server should respond to Server Browser requests
lube.server:send (data, rcpt) 	Send data to clients
lube.server:setCallback (recv, connect, disconnect) 	Sets the callbacks
lube.server:setHandshake (hshake) 	Sets a handshake
lube.server:setPing (enabled, time, msg) 	Set ping
lube.server:startserver (port) 	Start the server Sets the server, is normally called by init
lube.server:update (dt) 	Update the server Checks for incoming messages, and classifies as ping, connect, disconnect and raw data Also checks ping (since 0.6)

Yeah. I started getting weird errors.
Then I used LuaSocket directly, and got REALLY weird errors.
How do you receive data from the buffer, and not block the script until new data is received? :/

My script is weird: If you print data out every frame, it will work, but otherwise it doesn't. I think data isn't getting through the message queue system in threads. :/

Try doing luasocket in a love.thread and passing it back and forward to your application. I'm just guessing here. LUBE could probably do with a big love-thread overhaul.

As to non-blocking receive, LUBE does that out-of-the-box, doesn't it? Anyway, there's the receive callback as well.

If using LuaSocket you can use socket:settimeout(0).
