RELEASED LuaPluginLib beta.33

shawntruesdell submitted a new mod:

LuaPluginLib - Utilities and base asset Lua script support for smarter Lua script patching

Mod authors want to be able to modify base asset Lua scripts, but doing so runs the risk of collisions with other mods.

The alternative of adding "hooks" by injecting new scripts into config files works in some cases, but it's not very intuitive and is still prone to mod conflicts.

LuaPluginLib adds some utilities to better manage these "hooks" and adds a config-driven "plugin" system for loading modifications to a lua file without needing to patch every config where it's referenced...

shawntruesdell updated LuaPluginLib with a new update entry:

Beta.30 - Important hotfixes for after_hooks

There were a couple of issues in the after_hooks handling. A typo, and something more sinister:

Because I was concatenating the `results` packed table with the `pargs` packed table, after_hooks receive (results, ...) as expected... unless results is nil. Then after_hooks receive only the args. Often this means that where the result was expected, the hook receives `self`. That's a problem, and caused me many crashes in testing.

It's fixed now!

shawntruesdell updated LuaPluginLib with a new update entry:

Beta.33 - Adds support for files that don't have a discreet entry point

This is a big one (no breaking changes still):

Prior to this commit, we didn't have a way to apply config based plugins to a
large portion of the codebase because those scripts didn't have a local `init`
or `new` method from which to trigger the loader.

I've defined a new mechanism to allow for loading plugins in these modules:

-- Set a global table so that we can detect modules that are loaded and need
-- plugin patching but which do not have an init method for hooks....
