Questions about the lib folder

[Ovnyx]

hi people, i have working some time with my server, using tfs 1.0, and i wanted to know what did the "lib" folder purpose, because it is not in TFS 1.0, so i was reading in forum, and saw some interesting scripts that have code in some files placed in the lib folder, so i was wondering whats the function of that files located there. so i can use this in 1.0

thanks in advice, Bless

lib stands for library
you can think of the lib folder as an actual library, some books you don't want to read but you're looking for something that suits your needs and wants
same thing with functions inside a lib folder, there may be things you don't need or want to use, but there's extra functions for you to use to suit what you need to script
if you're using 1.0 i don't think you can use it since it doesn't have support for a lib folder

wow!!
1. thanks for your answer it was exactly what i was looking for!
2. is there a way to use a "lib" in 1.0 even if it is another filetype?

because i was looking darkhaos pet system and it looks interest how he used the lib file to write there and define a lot of things like using OOP(object oriented programming) look like a awesome way to create the scripts

thanks in advice!!

i'm not really sure if you could, since even if you put it in another file it might not be global
my recommendation is that you move to 1.2 if you like the OOP style

hmm sounds great, but isnt it unstable?

 

[Infernum]

where did you get that information lol
it's not unstable, it wouldn't have been officially released if it wasn't stable

It's not unsafe at all, it's just as safe / unsafe as the shovel script.
It's a Lua file that you add ex variables, functions etc etc that you can either make global (using dofile(...) in global.lua) or make it local, use dofile in the file(s) you wanna use ex the shovel script.
So no there is no need to change your SQL schema because you added a lib file.

Configuration - Ubuntu - From nothing to complete server (TFS, ModernAAC, MySQL, Lighttpd)!
Check the last part of the first part, should work for Arch aswell.
