I wrote own class
CLua
that contains all required functions for config file loading.
class CLua

}
~CLua()
{
// Close Lua state
lua_close(m_pLua);
}

In class constructor we create Lua object. In class destructor we close this.
CLua ()
{
// Open Lua
m_pLua = lua_open();
luaopen_base(m_pLua);
luaopen_io(m_pLua);
luaopen_string(m_pLua);
luaopen_math(m_pLua);
}
~CLua()
{
// Close Lua state
lua_close(m_pLua);
}
In class
COptions
we will call
CLua
functions
Load file
K3dEngine.lua
/// \brief Load file by Lua
/// \param _strFileName Filename
/// \retval bool True if file correctly loaded
inline bool COptions::LoadFile(CString& _strFileName)
{
if (LuaLoadFile(_strFileName.GetString().c_str()) || LuaPCall(0 ,0 ,0 ))
{
LuaError("cannot run configuration file: %s" , LuaToString(-1 ));
return false ;
}
return true ;
}
Open table
Graphics
and load for example bool a int values
LuaGetGlobal("Graphics" );
if (!LuaIsTable(-1 ))
{
LuaError(" is not a valid graphics table" );
}
bool bFullscreen = LuaGetFieldBool("FullScreen" );
int iWidth = (int ) LuaGetFieldNumber("ScreenWidth" );
Open table
Texture
and load for example float value
LuaGetGlobal("Texture" );
if (!LuaIsTable(-1 ))
{
LuaError(" is not a valid texture table" );
}
float fGamma = (float )LuaGetFieldNumber("Gamma" );
Open table
FontBmp
and load for example string value
LuaGetGlobal("FontBmp" );
if (!LuaIsTable(-1 ))
{
LuaError(" is not a valid bmp font table" );
}
const char * strFont = LuaGetFieldString("Font" );
