does luarocks packages work with reaper? also debbuing in zero brain studio?

[deeb]

i wonder if it works, before start digging or if there are any limitations, but i got the feeling it wont. Also tried using Zerobrane Studio for debugging (Lua IDE) reaper scripts with no success. It won't work right?

Thanks!

3rd party binary Lua modules do not work with ReaScript unfortunately. (But I bet there's a good reason why Cockos does not provide the mechanism to make that work. In any case it could make things pretty annoying for script users too because they would need to have the required Lua modules installed. And then, maybe some modules don't exist for all platforms etc...)

Reaper scripts can't be debugged in external IDEs because they don't run in the Reaper process.

makes sense but probably a pitty or not! :/ anyway I would like to load an image in my script, but even if i could probably it would get slow.

ReaScript has built-in : gfx.loadimg(image,"filename") , doesn't that work?

That's what it is meant to be used for...Of course you will also have to draw the image after loading it...(With gfx.blit)

Here's a more complete example :

gfx.loadimg(0,"/Users/xenakios/Downloads/09052017/REAPER.jpg")
gfx.init("Test window",300,300)
gfx.blit(0,1.0,0.0)
gfx.update()
