📃 SLua Alpha

Possibly related to [ https://feedback.secondlife.com/scripting-bugs/p/script-suddently-losing-connetion-with-the-server-on-save ] A few times I've gotten the above error. Fixing the syntax error does not eliminate the message — it's as if the script inventory instance is permanently disabled. My workaround has been to copy the script text to a new inventory instance. I was able to reproduce this on SLua Tombolo. 1) Create a block and add a new SLua script to it. 2) Change line 1 to: `` xxx ll.Say(0, "Hello, Avatar!") `` 3) Save. See an expected, normal error message. 4) Clone the object. Edit the script in the clone. 5) Notice the cloned script is marked not-running. 6) Use the external editor button to edit the cloned script. See the dreaded (0,0) error.

The syntax highlighter indicates that math.isnan should exist. However an attempt to use it results in an Attempt To Call A Nil Value error. Image showing error and highlighting compared to both valid and invalid math.xx expressions: https://imgur.com/3xX9lNe I lean toward fixing this by implementing math.isnan on principle of luau compatibility, but I don't have strong feelings about it either way. The number of likely users of math.isnan is incredibly small ( laughs one?) and I'm perfectly comfortable with using v~=v. (It's more succinct!)

Slua viewer has a linux build: https://github.com/secondlife/viewer/releases/tag/Second_Life_Project%231bcae36f-SLua But it isn't listed on the release page: https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/viewer/26.1.0.21525310258.html

I've been porting a set of three scripts to the LSL on luavm 2025 and have run into an unexpected memory limit issue. As the script has grown by my enabling more of it by integrating the three scripts into one, the USED memory size has crossed the 64k boundary. This includes code and data, and because of a different bug that Harold Linden is aware of (code size greater than 64k triggers a constructor fault), I've been working to keep the code under 64k (just barely at this point). Today I started getting these kinds of runtime errors: PRIMA Femme Elite v1.9 [script:body_lsl] Script run-time error not enough memory not enough memory [C] function ListInsertList [C] function ListReplaceList lsl_script function _fupdate_link_alpha lsl_script function _fchange_piece_shape lsl_script function _e0/state_entry By commenting out other code that is not used during the state_entry logic, the code runs. I'm guessing it's because there are checks in the list code called to make sure the lists are inside the 64k boundaries of days of yore. I have some skid marks in my code and what I see are these two messages before the script fault occurs: state_entry 0 used 61241 free 69831 state_entry2 1 used 66745 free 64327 The first one is the first statement in state_entry(). The second one is down a ways after I've initialized a bunch of my global variables. The third one I added to the code never runs because of the error shown above.

The following code snippet generates a one and a zero for my "vis" value shown in the DBG_MSG0 call (is_visible is an argument to the function declared as integer): // force into a boolean 0/1 value integer b4 = is_visible; is_visible = is_visible != 0; DBG_MSG0(["S1: change_piece_vis", full_piece_id, "vis", is_visible, b4, "link_num", link_num]); b4 is printing out as zero, while is_visible ends up being one. The "skid marks" that are the result of this action in my scripts look like this: set_body_flags 8 0 NEW body_vis_flags 7 S1: change_piece_vis 25 vis 1 0 link_num 57 The first skid mark is shows that body flags was indeed updated to have a zero at the relevant position confirming that the change_piece_vis code should be getting a zero value which is what b4 has stored. So the "is_visible != 0" clause is not generating the right value.
