Hi, again! I'm trying to set up LuaVerge on a Windows 7 (64 bit) machine, complete with vx. So far, what I have is as follows:

tools folder | vx folder | fmod.dll | a hello world file (helloworld.lua)
system.lua | system.vc | system.xvc | verge.cfg | verge.exe

All that happens when I double-click the verge.exe is the standard window saying "You have successfully run V3." blah blah blah.

The helloworld.lua is just as it was from banana attack, so I don't know what the problem could be at all.

Hmm, where did you find this helloworld.lua file? Was it a copy of the script on this page? That was meant to be run as a system.lua script. system.lua being the script that is run first when Verge starts, from which all other non-map scripts start.

Anyway, it's very likely you're getting this error because you haven't modified your system.lua, or helloworld.lua is defining an autoexec and so is system.lua, but helloworld.lua is require'd before system.lua defines autoexec.

Anyway, in Lua, it is not an error to "redefine" an existing function, because this

function autoexec()
    -- ...
end

is just syntax sugar for this

autoexec = function()
    -- ...
end

where autoexec is a variable holding the function value.

Hope that helps.

EDIT: modified the vx hello world page to tell people to save it as system.lua.
