Another thread about Lua scripting

[Nickmav1337]

Hello!

I'm someone who is interested in contributing to Dolphin.

Specifically I'd like to add support for Lua scripting so that external scripts could do things like control user input and read memory addresses etc.

I've already forked the project on GitHub and have created a Lua console and have made it so that Lua scripts can print values to this console.

The next thing I want to add are bindings so that Lua scripts can control user input, and while I've been able to discern how Dolphin works so far just by reading the source, I can't seem to figure out how Dolphin handles user input.

Can somebody please point me in the right direction? The code base is a little daunting.

Thank you.

A good place to ask would be #dolphin-dev on freenode.

I asked the question but was ignored. They seemed busy.

For input, this is a good place to start: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/tree/master/Source/Core/InputCommon
But this is for GC stuff, Wiimotes are a lot more ugly :/

Just stay on IRC, be a bit more noisy, and ask if you don't understand what other people are discussing.
