logf("hello world") not writing to grimext.txt

he got it working

Anyone ever hear of this prob? A friend of mine has been trying to get Lua working =).

This script runs in a blank map, no syntax errors etc

//! externalblock extension=lua FileExporter $FILENAME$
    //! i logf("Hello World")
//! endexternalblock

But grimext.txt doesn't even get generated in the logs folder.

I'm at a loss as to what could possibly be wrong with his installation. Everything is working but Lua ;p, and Lua is running but not doing anything o-o.

He has all of the latest stuff, the installation looked totally fine, and all of the options in NewGen WE are correct (totally match mine).

Check firewall/AV, maybe it's blocking something or deleted a necessary dll.

I don't think that that's the case considering he got a syntax error on a //! import for a file that didn't exist.

Also consider the facts that I mentioned that the Lua stuff ran and that his installation was fine ; p.

Any other ideas? This one really boggles my mind =o.


Also, I did ask him to check to see if a simple Hello World displays in-game. I'll be hearing from him in the next couple of hours hopefully.
