Dumb question : Love.config(t)

[SatoKato]

Hello, I created a config.lua with this code:

Code: Select all

function love.conf(t)
    t.window.width = 1280
    t.window.height = 720  
    t.modules.joystick = false
    end

Is there a way to call it in main.lua?

thanks for your times!

Not 100% sure on this, but I think you just need to call it conf.lua and have it in the same folder as main.lua and it should work without having to call require yourself.

lua also checks for a file named conf.lua, if that exists, lua will automatically run that. So no worries

Lua does not do that; LÖVE does. (Lua also doesn't automatically look for any file; that's still LÖVE.)

Since conf.lua is loaded before main.lua is (and by that time, the modules would have been loaded), you can't exactly define the conf function in main.lua... what you can do though, is defer window creation from conf.lua to somewhere else (like love.load in your main.lua or wherever):

Code: Select all

-- In conf.lua (I'm leaving out stuff...)

t.window = false -- Don't create a graphical window just yet...

-- In another file, let's say main.lua for example

function love.load(args)
    -- Create the window
    love.window.setMode(800, 600, {vsync=false})
end

This is neat if you need to parse stuff after conf.lua and only create the window after, based on that data... meaning it won't flash the window twice this way, which would be annoying.

Oh yeah, i mixed lua and love always. Thanks for clarifying
