ESP8266 ESP01 Init.lua not loading on startup

I have a makerfire esp8266 esp-01 which i flashed a custom build firmware. i was having trouble with the ft232r usb-serial module. it woud not flash the firmware. and would fail halfway. i ordered a pl2303 and i was able to flash the firmware with no problem whatsoever.

now when i connect it to esplorer. it says it can't auto detect firmware.

then i send command dofile init.lua and it usually starts the program and starts working.

but then that means i have to connect my computer to start the porgram everytime to work.

i need to know what i am doing wrong.

i ahve tried baud rate 9600 and 115200 and its the same. i have flashed a master version, integer and float, as well as a dev version. always trying different baud rates, and still same.

the project i am trying to do is a https://hackaday.io/project/4562-esp8266-wifi-smart-garage-door

maybe someone can point me to a firmware that would work with what i am doing. or point out what i am doing wrong.
