Lua For Barotrauma

This is a Barotrauma modification that adds Lua modding, this is not a direct replacement for xml, but works great in doing things that weren't possible in xml.

---

Since yall don't have workshop, you will have to install the mod manually.
Refer to this guide: https://evilfactory.github.io/LuaCsForBarotrauma/lua-docs/manual/installing-lua-for-barotrauma-manually

If you are running Linux, enable Lua For Barotrauma Linux instead.

MacOS currently requires you to manually install the mod, since I don't have a Mac to test the mod on, if you have a Mac and you want to help by testing it, feel free to contact me.
Refer to this guide: https://evilfactory.github.io/LuaCsForBarotrauma/lua-docs/manual/installing-lua-for-barotrauma-manually

Dedicated servers require you to manually install the mod.

Many Lua mods are server-side, meaning Lua is only required to work on the server for those mods to work, to enable the mod on the server-side simply select the Server Executable when in the hosting menu.
If you want to checkout if the mod is working properly on the server, open the debug console (F3) and run the command "reloadlua"

Note: This obviously doesn't work if you play on singleplayer, for that you will need to install Client-side Lua.



Client-side Lua is when the mod is running in your game client, many mods make use of it to either do more extensive changes to the game or to add singleplayer support.

For example Neurotrauma will work fine if you are playing multiplayer and only the server has Lua installed, but it wont work on singleplayer if you don't have Client-side Lua installed, while Movable and Sellable Wrecks (Another mod) requires both Server-side Lua and Client-side Lua to work on multiplayer, that means for this mod, everyone will need Client-side Lua installed for it to work properly. It depends on each mod, so consult the description/author of the mod to make sure.

If you want to checkout if the mod is working properly on the client, open the debug console (F3) and run the command "cl_reloadlua"

• Open hosting menu
  
• Select LuaForBarotrauma in ServerExecutable and host a server
  
• While hosting, open the console window (most commonly 'F3')
  
• Type in or copy, then execute the console command:
  install_cl_lua
• Restart the game

(Video if you don't understand the instructions above: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEeJ70vH1TM )

If you are having problems with the mod, always try doing these things before seeking for help:

- Go to the Barotrauma in game workshop menu, and click the reinstall button

- Delete this folder %LocalAppData%\Daedalic Entertainment GmbH\Barotrauma\WorkshopMods\Installed\2559634234 and restart the game

- Disable and Enable the mod and try again

Nothing worked? Feel free to seek for help, but please always try to provide as much information as possible, it's hard to solve a problem without much information.
