Celestia 1.5.1 and sockets?

[Stuffer]

Hi!

Does Celestia 1.5.1 work with sockets somehow?

I tried the same approach as I did with Cel 1.6 where I simply copied the folders "lua", "mime" and "socket" into the Celestia root folder.
But with a celx script there's always the error "attempt to call global 'require' (a nil value)"

the script is

Code: Select all

require "socket"

local socket = socket.tcp()
...


Is there sth. else that has to be done to be able to use the socket library in Cel 1.5.1?
I use the socket lib 2....
I also tried copying the lua folder into the extras folder. Didn't work either.
I want to provide an add-on but it works only for Cel 1.6 yet.

Thanks for every hint on this

The problem is that in Celestia 1.5.1 'require' was only permitted in hook scripts by default. But, if you change ScriptSystemAccessPolicy to 'Allow', it should work in 1.5.1 as well

Thanks Chris,

hm, actually I already changed systemaccesspolicy.

But I can try the hook script. If it works there it would be sufficient for my purposes.

EDIT: seems to work. Thanks Chris
