Molvez Community Addon Wow

# Molvez_Addon

The first community addon !

Hello everyone! Welcome to the first community addon! Molvez

A UNIQUE addon that needs nothing but itself. An addon that takes everything into account: UI, collection, quests, details, chat, etc. etc... Here you can share your ideas, talk about anything and everything. My name is Pierre, and I'm pretty good at photo editing and I'm learning LUA Code, so I thought, why not practice on a wow addon. Might as well combine business with pleasure, right?

So I'm slowly learning, but even if I'm able to define frames graphically, I'm not yet at the level to create such a major addon on my own.

So I'm defining the addon's graphic approach, and if you'd like to take part in the coding, I'd be delighted to!

ZeroBrane Studio WX Error

WX doesn't exist for some reason when I try to use "require("wx")", it says the wx.dll and etc doesn't exist at all, and when I check, it's not there, how do I download it? Or is it an error that shouldn't happen.

It also doesn't work with Turtle.lua.

The error. .\\turtle.lua:9: module 'wx' not found:

I'm trying to convert markdown to pdf in lua but I have some questions about file systems

Hey, I want to make my own markdown to pdf convertor in lua, since I have a bunch of markdown in one of my qownnotes folders that is meant to be a book, and I want to learn how to generate files with lua. I know one could just read the files in the directory of wherever the lua noscript is, and be done with it, but how do I move to whatever directory the markdown folder is and then convert the files from there?

sorry if this doesn't make sense, I am a hobbyist coder just getting into it

Plume - A templating langage that transpile to lua

I had already posted here (with another account) about "Plume", a Lua-extensible template language. github

Since then, I've completely restarted the project from scratch, reaching a result that I find vastly better ^(')

Plume is a template language that transpiles to Lua. You can test it here. Except for function calls, which aren't yet optimized, I find the transpiled code to be rather clean and efficient!

The transpiler is also written in Lua, and Plume can contain arbitrary Lua expressions, making it very easy to include in an existing ecosystem.

If you want a glimpse of the language, think of it as a hybrid of YAML and Lua!

myTable =
key: value
- foo
- bar
- baz

My key is $(myTable.value)

for i, x in ipairs(myTable)
myTable item n°$i is $x!
The cos of $i is $(math.cos(i))

Personal beginner's project - looking for feedback on a Monopoly money counter

Hello all! I'm attempting to teach myself Lua, starting from a very limited knowledge of programming in general, and I decided to start off by writing a simple money counter for a game like Monopoly. For an added challenge, I attempted to add a layer of "idiot proofing": if you enter in a bad number or a wrong name, the program will prompt you to try again until you get it right.

Full Program in Pure Lua?

I want to make a simple, shippable program in pure Lua, but for the life of cannot find how to do it.

I'm new to Lua and have been loving it. I was introduced to it through the Love game framework and want to use it to make more little CLI apps, but I can't find how to package things into a single file executable that I could easily share. The only way I know how to run a Lua program is 'lua file.lua' How can I turn Lua files into a packaged and installable program?

Is luarocks my answer? It feels like a thing for libraries and not full programs, or do I misunderstand it?

Are pure Lua programs not really the language's intend use case?

Need an edit for a .lua folding function

Hello everyone,


I am currently working with a conky on my Linux box that employs .lua. Currently it takes a paragraph of weather conditions denoscription and splits it into 4 rows of text. It currently breaks at 20, 40, and 60 characters, but this causes words to be split into two rows of text. I have been working with chatGPT, asking it to edit so that the break occurs at the closes space to the 22nd character, but all its solutions do not work.

Best OpenGL binding for LuaJIT?

I'm looking to mess around with a simple 3D voxel renderer/engine in Lua, just for fun. My first step is to find an opengl binding, and so far I only found the following two:

https://github.com/nanoant/glua
https://github.com/sonoro1234/LuaJIT-GL

The first one seems a bit more involved but was last updated 12 years ago. The second was last updated about 6 months ago.

I currently have close to zero experience in OpenGL (hence, this learning excersive) so I'm not sure how to compare the two. Any pointers or guidance would be much appreciated!

1. Do you have an opengl Lua binding (that supports LuaJIT) which you would recommend?
2. If not, which of the two above would you recommend?
3. Or, if the two above are both for some critical reason unusuable, would you recommend I make my own FFI bindings instead?

Note that I do not care which OpenGL version it uses (so something above 1.x would be preferable), and that it needs to have LuaJIT support, not just PUC Lua (So moongl is out of the question).

Thanks!

First of all, what is "Workspace"?

Why the periods after some words, and why those words? (first pic)

Why do i have to make some words go under others? (check second pic for refrence)

i could go on, and on because there are so many random things in lua that i'm just supposed to know for some reason i guess.

Is lua good in 2025 for learning as new developer?

I have a solid understanding of golang and java and i have made couple of projects with it, recently i came across lua and everyone says that its so underrated and can be use in so many other things , but all i can find is people are using this mostly for game development , and i don't want to follow that track , so will it be good learning lua as a new developer for building different projects apart from game dev, Thanks! : )
