Creating a Lua file from an MFK requires a Few things
- All "\" need to be "\\"
- All Commands need to have "Game." before them
- You cant have ":" at the end of a line
- All comments ("//") must be ("--")
Now you could do that all manually, but that would be a waste of time and silly wouldnt it...
I am aware that this is possible through NP++ and LUA-ify but this is just a nice little alternative i thought
This program will take an MFK file and Add a LUA file of the same name in the same direcotry it came from. Its Easy to use since it only has one button.
To run it open the download folder and run mfk2lua.exe. Also FYI this was created in python3 and then converted into a .exe which is why there are other files.
If you have any problems just tell me
Bug Fix Log v1.01
- I have fixed a bug where in some scenarios a function might have two "Game."'s before it, for example ("Game.Game.AddStageWaypoint"). This problem was caused by me not being specific enough when searching for functions and it saw the AddStage Function inside of the AddStageWaypoint Function . However this is now fixed
- Added Comment Feature
- Added the Python source code at the bottom of this thread :)
Bug Fix Log v1.03
- Gave it a niver GUI
- Includes all game commands including ASF now
Python download -- Smaller file size and more reccomended to download however you will need to install the latest version of python 3 or atleast python 3.7.4 onwards
