Hello everyone! I'm very obviously new to Love and programming in general, so try not to be too offended as I get my bearings.

Simply put I guess, when I try to run my project I'm getting an error

boot.lua:339 conf.lua:2: attempt to index field 'module' (a nil value)

Traceback

[C]: in function 'error'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

I recently installed the engine and am creating a test project to see that I understand how to create and compile a blank game. So, I created a folder with the following files: TestGame => conf.lua; main.lua;

Code: Select all

function love.conf(t)
	t.module.joystick = false
	t.modules.audio = false
	t.modules.keyboard = true
	t.modules.event = true
	t.modules.image = true
	t.modules.graphics = true
	t.modules.timer = true
	t.modules.mouse = true
	t.modules.sound = true
	t.modules.threading = true
	t.modules.physics = true
	t.console = true 
	
	t.title = "TestGame"
	t.author = "BrokenEye"
	t.window.fullscreen = false
	t.window.vsync = false
	t.window.fsaa = 0
	t.window.height = 600
	t.window.width = 800
end

I'm sure this is a simple mistake, so apologies if I missed something. Thanks for looking.

The first line underneath the love.conf declaration is 't.module.joystick = false' but it should be 't.modules.joystick = false' (plural modules.) Easy thing to miss.

Ah! So that's it. I eventually got angry and pasted a config from some game I found online.
I guess that's what happens when you try to do things yourself the first time. ha

Hello, recently I have been having the same problem while I was making a pong game. These are the 2 scripts that I have:

Code: Select all

WINDOW_WIDTH = 1280
WINDOW_HEIGHT = 720

function love.load()
    love.window.setMode(WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT,{
        fullscreen = false,
        resizable = false,
        vsync = true
    })
end

function love.draw()
    love.graphics.printf(
        'PONG!',       
        0,                    
        WINDOW_HEIGHT / 2 - 6,  
        WINDOW_WIDTH,          
        'center')               
end

AND THIS IS THE SECOND SCRIPT

Code: Select all

push = require 'push'

WINDOW_WIDTH = 1280
WINDOW_HEIGHT = 720

VIRTUAL_WIDTH = 432
VIRTUAL_HEIGHT = 243

function love.load()
    love.graphics.setDefaultFilter('nearest', 'nearest')
    push:setupScreen(VIRTUAL_WIDTH, VIRTUAL_HEIGHT, WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT, {
        fullscreen = false,
        resizable = false,
        vsync = true
    })
end

function love.keypressed(key)
    if key == 'escape' then
        love.event.quit()
    end
end

function love.draw()
     push:apply('start')
  love.graphics.printf('PONG', 0, VIRTUAL_HEIGHT / 2 - 6, VIRTUAL_WIDTH, 'center')
push:apply('end')
end

For the past 2 days, I have been stuck with this

You've had literally the same problem as in the 5 year old post you replied to? Then can't you just solve it the same way as stated above?

I'm not sure what to make of the code you posted, it doesn't show your conf.lua and they seem to be two separate games since they both have a love.load and love.draw defined.

You should probably make a new thread with your problem, where you post your actual error message.
