"Fetch Libraries" not working with some of them (SOLVED)

[Ragetto]

Hi everyone!

Some libraries work fine while some others don’t, but I can’t figure out why.

I followed these instructions…

Working with library projects in Defold

…to install this library (debug-draw by ross.grams) - and it works like a charm! (so useful)

Debug-Draw - Lines, boxes, circles, etc

I made a little module of convenience functions to help draw lines, shapes, and text for visual debugging. The render “draw_line” and “draw_text” messages are really long and cumbersome to type, so this wraps them up and makes things simple. It’s not an exhaustive shape-drawing library, just enough to draw a few different kinds of indicators and things. [debug-draw_rabid-robots_screenshot] You can use it as a library dependency with the following link, or just grab the lua file and drop it in…

Then I found this topic containing tons of amazing Lua resources:

Big List of Lua Resources!

Post links and I may add to the main list. Admins feel free to edit directly to modify and add links. Learn Lua Defold uses Lua 5.1 http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/ Progamming in Lua (best Lua book - buy a physical copy of latest edition) Learn Lua in a Single Video + Related Cheat Sheet Official Lua Language Reference Learn X in Y Minutes Where X=Lua Lua Short Reference A Functional Introduction to Lua Lua Users Wiki https://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/Lua_Programming http://stackoverflow.com/q…

And picked the following ones (that look really convenient too):
Lume => GitHub - rxi/lume: Lua functions geared towards gamedev
Vivid => GitHub - WetDesertRock/vivid: Vivid is a simple lua library for dealing with simple color math.

I added both URL to the game.project, just like I did with debug-draw:

(this is where I got the URL)

But when fetching the libraries… nothing happened:

(should be displayed here, right?)

I desperately decided to close & open Defold, just in case, but…

I’m asked to Fetch Libraries, but I already did it…

Questions:
1/ Is there something specific I missed in the process?
2/ Is there a “manual” way to add libraries? (if the method mentioned above -which is great though- doesn’t work) I mean, directly in Defold’s directory or something…

Thanks!
(and Merry Christmas )

These are not the Defold libs. You can only use fetch method for Defold Native Extensions/Assets.

You can use Lume & Vivid(.lua files) by just putting them in a folder and require it. Paths are relative to the project folder. If you put those files in project_path/modules/lume.lua then you can require it by lume = require "modules.lume"

Oh ok, thank you for the explanation! Before your message, there was no clear difference in my mind between Defold and non-Defold extensions, but it’s clear now.

Just installed and required both libraries, it works fine

Thanks for the link too!
