upb Lua Loader

You may need to disable UI Protection mode ("Settings" -> "Extensions" -> "Protected UI Mode") before use.

For Mod Creators:

x4 version 6.xx, 7xx, 8. 00 are also suitable for use.

Example from MD:

<cue name="Load_Lua_Files" instantiate="true">

<conditions>

<event_ui_triggered screen="'Upb_Lua_Loader'" control="'Ready'" />

</conditions>

<actions>

<raise_lua_event name="'Upb_Lua_Loader. Load'"

param="'extensions.folder_named_pipes_api. Named_Pipes'"/>

</actions>

</cue>

Here, the cue name can be anything, and the param is the specific

path to the lua file to load, without extension.

The file extension may be ".lua" or ".txt", where the latter may be

needed to distribute lua files through steam workshop.

The lua file needs to be loose, not packed in a cat/dat.

When a loading is complete, a message is printed to the debuglog, and

a ui signal is raised. The "control" field will be "Loaded " followed

by the original file_path. This can be used to set up loading

dependencies, so that one lua file only loads after a prior one.

Example dependency condition:

<conditions>

<event_ui_triggered screen="'Upb_Lua_Loader'"

control="'Loaded extensions.folder_named_pipes_api. Named_Pipes'" />

</conditions>
