I did a few searches, nothing much came up. I want to find out if there are any good scripting language for blitz that are currently out. I seen gamescript (which is amazing)....i heard there was a lua one but couldnt find it. I am looking for scripting language for a little experiment hhaa...free or commerical....any ideas? nack

AFAIK, all the Lua implementations are in BlitzMax. Blitz3D isn't really cut out for conventional scripting options as the language lacks the basic requirements ( function pointers are the biggy. ) Koriolis's BVM is probably your best bet. He seems to have worked around most of B3D's limitations. http://koriolis.free.fr/bvm/index.html

Very soon. This time I can tell for sure because I'm currently working on the installers, and making sure nothing crucial is missing.

oh how much would BVM2 cost approximately?

I'm aiming for the same kind of licenses as for BVM 1: 15 euros for the independent developper license 50 euros for the commercial license.
