PtokaX emulation script

[Sedulus]

at the request of arne I have tried to extend his PtokaX emulation scripts.
I feel somewhat confident that they work :)

I would like those of you who have some experience with PtokaX scripts to test these. if you stumble upon unexplained errors. please don't hesitate to contact me with the cause (or just the scripts and what exactly you did when the error occurred).

the current version can be found here:
http://wza.digitalbrains.com/DC/dchpp/.compat/v0.1/

please do not distribute these (this is a private forum, remember), they will be included with a release version of the dch++ hub when the time is right (if arne doesn't think they suck, that is ;) )

thank you for helping to make the transition to dch++ an easy one

Good work...Hm, do you reckon we should put all dchpp functions in a namespace? I'm considering it, and since the lua people have put their stuff, perhaps I should as well...

Oh, and send me a mail if you need something in the scripting language...(yes, I noted the user enumeration...)

NOTE
v0.1 won't work on DCH++0.16
I'll get v0.2 online asap.

v0.2 for DCH++0.16

I'll be away for the weekend, so here's 0.2 if you'd like to test it.
http://wza.digitalbrains.com/DC/dchpp/.compat/v0.2/

it should work, but I haven't tested it enough yet.

NOTE, load order:

dchpp016fix.lua
PtokaX-emu-pre.lua
compat.lua
<yourscript.lua>
PtokaX-emu-post.lua

v0.3
http://wza.digitalbrains.com/DC/dchpp/.compat/v0.3/

includes some vague timer support that needs a constant flow of data to the hub

[Sedulus]

not that anyone's testing this,
but ptokax seems to have included the lua socket library

I'll see what I will do with this
