UltraEngine Premake Script

[reepblue]

This lua script will generate a working VS project with Premake. Replace "Game" with the title of your project. I store premake5.exe and this script in a "Tools" folder where my preprocessor also sits. 

I might make a git repo in the future depending how often this will change. 

-- Define Ultra Engine Paths
UltraEnginePath = os.getenv("ULTRAENGINE")
if UltraEnginePath==nil then return end

-- Define Game Directory (Relative to this premake script)
GameDir = path.getabsolute("..")

-- Define Root Source Directory
SourceDir = GameDir .. "/Source"

-- Define Soultion Directory
SoultionDir = GameDir

-- Define tools Directory
ToolsPath = GameDir .."/Tools"
