stdin:1: in main chunk
[C]: ?

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor - NOW FULLY WORKING
 

use relative paths without spaces.
use lua.exe that is bundled in the archive.
that should do it.

like this:
lua.exe decompile_levels.lua assets\data\levels\pack1\level1.lua

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor - NOW FULLY WORKING

and now it says stdin:1: '=' expected near 'assets'

please reply

are you sure that you are decompiling compiled level?
try this one:

(don't forget to rename it to describe.lua)

it outputs the contents of file to stdout, but you can redirect the output to a file.

lua.exe describe.lua path_to_level > path_to_new_decompiled_file

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor - NOW FULLY WORKING
 

you need to do it from command line.
copy Level1.lua to same dir where lua.exe, lublua51.dll and decompile_levels.lua are.
let's say it's c:\data\levels
then open cmd.exe and type:
Then, you should see the level1.lua.dec in the same directory, that's your decompiled level.

Sorry, I can't explain it easier than this.

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor - NOW FULLY WORKING
 

open http://acme.badboll.nu/able in your browser and paste contents of Level1.lua to text box on the page.
and press render. edit the level(help buton if you want to know how it works) and press save. then copy the text in textbox and paste it to level1.lua, replace level on your device and you can play it.

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor - NOW FULLY WORKING
 

so ok paste it into level1.lua.DEC or level1.lua

Re: [Maemo 5] Angry Birds Level Editor - NOW FULLY WORKING
 

level1.lua.dec -> acme.badboll.nu/able
edit, save
acme.badboll.nu -> (new file) level1.lua
level1.lua -> (your device)/assets/data/levels/pack1/level1.lua

get it?
