Hi all,

 

I would like to try modding a few lua scripts in AI folder, but I see they are compiled. I tried decompiling them, using luaDec and unluac, both complain that they do not have the signature of a valid lua file. For what version of lua were these sripts compiled? Better yet, is there a way to get the source files?

 

Thank you.

I'm not sure if PR wants to provide his Lua scripts decompiled, but if you want to mod the default AI Lua scripts from the base game, you need to install the map editor which comes with the uncompiled source Lua script. The reason your decompilers didn't work is because EaW uses its own Lua format called Lup which changes the header file; they are otherwise indistinguishable from normal Lua. Bear in mind that you need to put the Lua scripts (compiled or not) into a .meg file for the game to read them properly.

Thanks a lot for the fast response! Well, I'll see what I can do with the default scripts in map editor.

While you're tinkering with it, see if you can find out why pathfinding is so absolute shit in the game.

That's not related to Lua unfortunately. It's quite hardcoded, though there are some variables in GameConstants.xml that can be fiddled with.

I just might do that.
