LuaInterface and 64Bit

Question

Ok i'm currently using LuaScript v5.1 in a Game engine i'm using. and the handy LuaInterface that comes along with it. i've tested it on a range of systems running a range of OS's. LuaInterface seems to fail on 64bit Operating Systems. Could anyone point me to a 64bit Compiled LuaInterface.dll, or is there any alternative to the LuaInterface that can be used, because LuaInterface is extremely useful and i dont think i would be able to write a more extensive interface by myself using lua51. (I'm not that good, sadly)

Any help or links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot guys!

Answer 1

You can check out the LuaInterface source code from the Subversion repository hosted on Google Code. It contains Visual Studio project files for building it yourself. Welcome to the world of open-source software!
