ReaLua Alpha

1. There are nascent docs in skinny HTML. 2. There is source code and a VC solution file. 3. There is of course the plugin. Folks, I think we can call this an Alpha release! Party time! The documentation is focused towards using ReaLua, so there are no build tips in it. So here they are: If you want to compile it, you must get the lua5.1.lib file from It may work with others of the binaries but I don't know. Please note that Visual C++ is not my native environment, so I probably won't be able to help anyone compile it if there are problems. I may have used absolute paths or something just as bad. Sorry in advance, but if you're trying to compile it you probably have more VC-fu than I. And as always, use at your own risk. Back up everything and then backup the backups before downloading ReaLua.

Looks like quite a piece of work. It would be great to have some stock examples ready to run, downloadable with the plugin.

Alpha 2 

Briefly tried...I was able to succesfully run functions like PrintResampleModes() and PrintInputChannelNames() out of the examples. Function RandomPan() caused a message to appear that it tries to call a global GetNumTracks() which has value NIL. I am not that familiar how Lua works etc, so maybe that was a pilot error... ;) I am not a big fan of how the Lua console opens up as a new app type window. (Adds it to the Windows Taskbar.) Since you live in Reaper's process address space, I believe, could you not make the window live completely inside Reaper?

Thanks a lot for your efforts! :) While I haven't been playing around with ReaLua much myself (too deep in my own C++ stuffs to learn Lua and ReaLua well now), I hope other people have found about it's potential and are just too busy hacking around with it to reply and thank you here! ;)
