Interstellar

[elfin inlet]

what's the point of debug.global() is there ever a time where _G isn't the "true" global table?

[spare cradle]

local env = {}
env._G = env

setmetatable(env, { __index = _G })
setfenv(func, env)()

Something like that

[elfin inlet]

ah yeah in a specific env

[full fable]

This is epic

[stiff sonnet]

one might say its interstellar even

[ebon frigate]

thx to srlion I've recently added a way to transfer functions with their upvalues cross-states, so... yea.
have fun with that now...

*just keep in mind transfering c-functions like player.GetAll may break, I noticed some state specific stuff in there for some reason.

interstellar lanes time

[limber root]

not without updating gmod's luajit

as threads are way more fun when you have ffi

[ebon frigate]

yea might be getting close to that...

[topaz shore]

sick

[ebon frigate]

@limber root do you know why all of gmod's functions for some reason, has this annoying call right before them, which makes them state-specific...

I am struggling to understand why its there and what purpose its for

[limber root]

which one exactly?

[ebon frigate]

Try moving MsgC cross-state, you will just crash

[limber root]

this one?

i have no idea why that would crash though

yeah, seems to be just that, i dont think it should crash, cause the functions just... Set L in LuaBase to whatever they just received

im not sure though why they would do that in the first place

unless it receives the wrong LuaState it should be good

[ebon frigate]

weird, its always the gmod funcs that crash however...

[ebon frigate]

wtf is that arg1 + 0x48 right above
thats pulling right off the lua state

L->luabase...?

[limber root]

yeah, its part of the lua state struct in gmod

[ebon frigate]

well I think thats the problem 😂

[limber root]

you didnt think it through did ya

xd

[ebon frigate]

fresh lua_State structs have that as nothing

what I have now works just have to supply that with something valid

other than that I am just ironing out bugs, works fine, lots of mutexes tho

[limber root]

god is that how addresses now look on x64?

the bitmask shit again lol

dont tell rubat we dont have the high 17 bits set in gcobj addresses

[ebon frigate]

yea they are long as fuck now

[ebon frigate]

@limber root the concept for thread isolated lua states https://github.com/eprosync/interstellar_gmod/releases/tag/v1.2.0-alpha
obviously nowhere near complete

[ebon frigate]

@limber root looks like you really can't call gmod's lua functions across threads without running into race conditions from CLuaInterface.
Only way is to create our own CLuaInterface which... is ultra geh.

[limber root]

this is a very bad idea either way

dont do that

[ebon frigate]

welp looks like we aren't getting gmod funcs cross state then

even if you make your own lua interface it still breaks due to some other setup missing

you get funny errors like this:

[string "test"]:2: bad argument #1 to 'test' (table expected, got table)
stack traceback:
        [C]: in function 'test'
        [string "test"]:2: in function <[string "test"]:1>
