LuaCreator version 0.3

[RudolfJan]

Hi,

I just published an update for the LuaCreator tool. Download it here:https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5xmS3GoYKV1UjBJeHhIOFlOSzQ

LuaCreator is a toolkit for scenario authors,focussing on creating LUA scripts, but it can do a lot of other things as well. Highlights for this version:

List all routes and scenarios, NEW: including routes/scenarios packed in .ap files
View route- and scenario properties
Access to route/scenario folders
Create LUA scripts from script snippets and compile them
NEW: A Trainsimulator launcher that allows you to set debugging options.
NEW: Consist manager, providing information on used and missing rolling stock for scenarios.
Access to the Scenario Authors Guide (included in the installer)

In the next version I continue working on new LUA script snippets and will continue to explore rolling stock asset management. For the long term, swapping rolling stock should work as well.

IMPORTANT: If you experience any problems with virus scanners during download, please let me know which virus scanner you use. I can ask the anti-virus provider to stop reporting false. Send me a PM in this case.

Thank you!

Is it possible for this tool to decompile an .out file?

EDIT: And is it possible to use it for locomotive and other rolling stock scripting?

I focus on scenario scripting, so at the moment it is not supported. It is possible to decompile out scripts, but not all of them. I tried using luadec and .luac script files.This works fine and you can use this from the command line interface (which you don't like nowadays I guess). I may add these features when I have done some more work on rolling stock management. Once you can get access to asset files, you can do essentially the same tricks I do now for scenarios. It is not much work, so be patient, maybe in the next release...
