I have made a tutorial on how to install Lua binaries for people who want to use the "Papyrus Source code Beautifier" on the Creation Kit wiki. Of course these instruction will work for any other use of Lua. http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1391150-tutorial-how-to-manually-set-up-lua-binaries-manually-on-windows/

Oops, can a mod please edit the title so it reads : Tutorial : How to manually set up Lua binaries on Windows Thanks!

I posted these instructions on the Notepad++ page of the Creation Kit wiki, but for some reason I don't think it will ever be published. So I am posting them here (modified a bit) so anyone who has trouble setting it up may Google and find this page, or so people can link to it. There are 2 ways to install Lua binaries (executables). One is the full installer that can be found here. However even when unchecking unneeded elements during the installation, unneeded elements will be installed. I like to install only what I need on my computer, so I wanted to install only the binaries required to run Lua scripts. Note : Remember that the directory paths in this tutorial may be different on your computer. Modify them accordingly. Download Java binaries here : http://sourceforge.net/projects/luabinaries/files/5.2.1/Executables/ Download the appropriate binaries, depending on whether you are running Windows 32 bits or 64 bits. Extract the binaries. Keep the binaries in their directory. Optional : You can delete "luac52.exe" and "wlua52.exe" if what you want is only to run Lua scripts that other people have made. However, if you plan to write and compile Lua scripts in the future, you will need "luac52.exe", which is the Lua compiler. Rename "lua52.exe" to "lua.exe" (do NOT rename "lua52.dll"). This is for convenience, so you can type "lua" in the console to run a script and use the command lines in various tutorials without having to modify them. Otherwise, you would have to modify anything that says "lua" for "lua52" and type "lua52" in the console to run it. Optional, but recommended : Rename the directory to something more simple like "lua-5.2.1" or "Lua". "lua-5.2.1" will be used here. Move the "lua-5.2.1" directory to "C:\Program Files". Optional, but recommended : Open the "lua-5.2.1" directory and click an empty space in the address bar at the top of the window (which is next to the "Back" arrow button). The full path to the directory should appear. Copy it, you will need it for the next steps.To add Lua to the environment path (required to be able to easily run it from the console and use it in applications like Notepad++) : Right click on "Computer" (from the Start menu or elsewhere) and select "Properties".In the left panel, click "Advanced system settings".Click on "Environment Variables" at the bottom.Under "User variables for [your username]" (NOT "System Variables". Do not touch that), there may or may not be a "PATH" variable listed. a) If there isn't one, click on "New...". In "Variable name", type "PATH" without quotes. In "Variable value", type "C:\Program Files\lua-5.2.1" without quotes. b) If there is one, double-click it and at the very end, add ";C:\Program Files\lua-5.2.1" without quotes. You HAVE to include the semicolon ( ; ).Click "OK" on everything.You should be set up. To test whether it works, type open the Start menu and type "cmd" in the search field. A console window should pop up. Type "lua" and hit enter. You should see ''Lua 5.2.1 Copyright © 1994-2012 Lua-org, PUC-Rio" appear. If you see "'lua' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.", then you did something wrong. Possible sources of the problem are : You did not rename "lua52.exe" to "lua.exe". Try typing "lua52" in the console window. If it works, then you did not rename the executable properly.You did not type the path properly in the environment variable.You forgot the semicolon ( ; ) at step 4.b.If everything else fails, you can always use the automated installer I linked above.

Oops! I have no idea how it happened.

I messaged the author after I posted this. Glad to see that the problem isn't on my side. Thanks!

This mod : http://nmm.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/2666/? All I get when clicking the different tabs is "E". I can see the description when I originally load the page but if I click another tab then click on the Desc tab again, it doesn't load and it only shows the letter "E". I logged out, cleared cache and everything. Didn't work. It only started happening today.

That's odd, because I distinctly remember using a mod over a year ago allowing me to select with a slider how many of a potion or an item I wanted to craft. I've been trying trying to find it again but I can't.

Do any of you know how to read? "I want a mod so I don't have to mash anything" "Easy! The solution is to mash everything!" I'm also looking for a mod that would allow me to select with a slider how many of an item I want to craft.

I had a mod over a year ago that allowed me to craft several items, brew several potions and enchant several items of the same kind without having to reselect the ingredients every time. There was a slider would allow me to select the specific amount that I wanted to craft/brew/enchant. I don't remember if it applied to smelting ore, but a mod that does it for ore would be nice too. Thanks for your help!

Eeeeh... yeah. I totally agree with this. I want a mod for that too. I think you should change the title of your thread for something more appropriate like "Enchanting many of the same item with the same enchantment".
