How do I fill in the BabeLua settings?

Question

I want to be able to program LUA in Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. I have BabeLua to try to do this. In the program there is a tab called settings. Within that tab there are 5 textboxes that I do not understand

LUA Scripts Folder -

Folder where the files are stored? (Documents/Visual Studio 2013/ Projects)?

Lua exe Path

Working Path

Command line

Setting Name

Can someone give me an explanation to all of these Fields?

This prompt seems to be slightly different than the one I am seeing with the latest update of babelua, but regardless:

• Lua scripts folder: This should be the explicit path to some file folder where your script is located.
• Lua exe path: explicitly provide the path to your exe (which you can download from here.

Note: be sure to download the windows 32 Bit version, even if your machine happens to be 64 bit. There appears to be some sort of bug that prevents Babelua from running in debug mode with the 64 bit version.

• Working path: I just provide the same path to the folder containing the lua exe.
• Command line: This is where you provide the name of the script(s) you want to run. If you wrote a file in your project called "script.lua" you would provide the name of that file, with the extension, in this area.
• Lua project name: This is different than the "setting name" prompt you have, but its rather self-explanatory.

Example:

• Lua scripts folder: C:\Users\kevin1michael\Documents\LuaScripts
• Lua exe path: C:\Users\kevin1michael\Documents\Lua\32BitLua\lua5.1.exe
• Working path: C:\Users\kevin1michael\Documents\Lua\32BitLua
• Command line: script1.lua
• Lua project name: Project1
