    Liquidfun... or is it?

    totebototebo Member
    in Bugs and issues
    I'm back!

    Attempting to resurrect a game from 2018 called Zomball. It exports fine, but for some reason I can't seem to run it in the local player. How do I set up the local player with Liquidfun again? My memory appears terribly short.

    This is the error:
    Libs/Rube.lua:55: module 'liquidfun' not found:
	no field package.preload['liquidfun']
	no file './liquidfun.lua'
	no file './liquidfun/init.lua'
	no file './_LuaPlugins_/liquidfun.lua'
	no file './_LuaPlugins_/liquidfun/init.lua'

      I have
      require "liquidfun"
      Followed by...
      local world=b2.World.new(0,9.8)
      etc...

      Welcome back btw! :)

      Hey, thanks! :)

      Yeah, that's what I thought. For some reason the require doesn't work, but only when testing in the player. When exporting as HTML5 everything works as it should and the game starts fine.

      This is an old codebase, so I'm just trying to run the game locally, without any code changes (for now).

      I should add that I'm testing on the latest version of Gideros.

      Check if you have the Liquidfun plugin enabled

      Maybe you have a different liquidfun in the user plugins folder? It may have been that long ago that it was experimental?

      Cheers guys. The plugin seemed right, but to make sure I removed it and added it again. The main mystery here is why it works when exported as HMTL! I can export the project as a player and test it in a browser. Miight just go down that route. But - strange!

      Edit: Now this IS strange. I get the same issue with this setup:

      - Vanilla Gideros 2021.2 on macOS Big Sur
      - An empty project with one line of code in it to require "liquidfun" (uploaded here, couldn't attach it to this message for some reason).




      There must be something I'm doing wrong?

      Maybe its "LiquidFun" ? :D
      Anyways, you can print all available plugins and check if it exists:
      for k in pairs(package.preload) do print(k) end

      I actually tried all sorts of variations, no luck!

      Handy! This is what it spits back. Remember, this is a vanilla project only with Liquidfun added as a plugin (see above).

      Or according to this: https://github.com/gideros/gideros/blob/d109048583a8e43fa295ef739c53523f989df187/plugins/liquidfun/source/common/liquidfunbinder.cpp#L87
      you can try
      require "box2d"

      try to uninstall gideros and delete manually if anything is left in the folder. then reinstall. should not take much time and worth a shot.

      Do you have access to Windows - see if that gives that same result for you?

      Sorry, I am late to the party, but not too late fortunately. I just tried on my Mac and yes, none of liquidfun projects work, the same error is reported.
      On further look, the Dylib are there but the entry point is wrongly named. And liquidfun is not the only plug-in affected, others are microphone, gsfxr, harfbuzz, ogg, and threads.
      The problem is certainly a bad definition in the binding file, I fix that

      Hey @hgy29, did you have a chance to look at this? In the meantime, is there a temporary fix I could do myself to be able to test locally?

      Yes, it has been fixed, and furthermore integrated in the 2021.3 release I have uploaded this morning. I left it in pre-release though, as it wasn't tested much

      Testing 2021.3 now, so far it works! The error is gone and things seem to be running smoothly. Thanks!
