LuaPluginLib (Beta)

Note: This mod does not change game behavior at all, but enables Modders more safely change vanilla scripts. If you don't have another mod that depends on this one, you probably don't need to subscribe to it by itself.

Improves compatability between mods by creating a system of plugins for vanilla modules


Many mods want to update the code in weapon.lua or player_primary.lua, and doing so risks incompatibilities with other mods.

Whoever loads last, gets to keep their code! That's not great.


This mod offers a simple interface for loading "plugins" on top of your lua, and modifies vanilla lua to use its mechanisms.

With LuaPluginLib, you can add a reference to your "plugin" to a local .config or .config.patch file and supported scripts will layer your code on top of their own.

LuaPluginLib also adds utilties for adding hooks to functions, which allows you to execute your code BEFORE a function or AFTER that function is called.

Not all vanilla scripts are currently supported. Please take a look at the README on GitHub[github.com] for details.

While the mod is still "beta", the API may still change. When a majority of the base asset Lua supports the library, we'll go to 1.0 and the API will be locked to maintain support for all consumers.
