Master Moose issue and the development environment?
Guys, I'm having an issue. I've not used Moose in a long time but decided to go back and take a look at it today. I downloaded the master from https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE (after a little digging for it). It says version 2.4.14. So I presume its the most up to date version.
I've followed the
to the letter to set up my Lua environment again and to get intellisense working. There are comments to the video regarding errors being received.
Error
[string
'C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\/DCS~mis000000920']:4: attempt to index 'EVENT' (a nil value) slack traceback:
[C]: ?
[string
'C:\users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS\/~mis000000920']:4: in main chunk
I also get that error when trying to load the Moose.lua, which incidentally is now in a different location to the video C:\MOOSE-master\Moose Development\Moose, which is different to the video, however. In the comments, someone helpfully instructs us to use the correct Lua and points to download file. I've done this and instead of placing it in the development folder I've placed it in C:\MOOSE-master and loaded that into my mission it's working brilliantly.
My questions are this though.
1. Is there an issue with the original Lua or is to something to do with the file structure?
2. What happens to future updates? Will I just download the lua file and overwrite the one I was supplied by the helpful youtube guy.
3. Is this having any effect on my development environment as I won't be using the same lua as the moose master. If I overwrite the moose file in the development folder with the 2.4.1 version won't it be an old version. Everything seems to be working fine but will I be using the correct version? If I use the one in the development folder I always get the above error.
4. Are the issues being caused because I'm a noob? Have I done something wrong in the installation? bearing in mind I have used this before with success so am not totally green. I also went back over all the setup videos and guides and followed them to what I thought was the letter.
Sorry but I'm a noob with this so please go steady with the replies lol. Just as a side note there are a few links in the documentation website that need to be updated to point to the correct files. eg. The documentation here supplies a link for the latest version of moose but it takes me to the moose patch files on GitHub. It looks as if the moose master file has the latest version rather than the patch files nor is it clear how to get from the patch files to the moose release for a GitHub noob like me. Perhaps the website start-up guide would be better pointing to the master repository and a version number could be included there in the guide as well so that we can ensure we are getting the correct version from GitHub. I appreciate this all takes time but I think a few people may be put off from using what is really a fantastic system for the sake of the instructions?
Apologies for the length of the post
