Lua variables unlocalizer

Intro

by demonized#1084

Lua variables unlocalizer is a part of modded exes repo, version 2023.03.09+

This addons allows to unlocalize variables for lua environment, making them global to the script namespace

Usage

  • In brackets you define the script file name as a section, without ".script" part

  • Under the section put all variables that should be unlocalized, just their names

  • Below is the example for actor_effects.script file. RENDERER and STATIC_LIGHT variables are local there, and this file will make them global

  • all unlocalizers .ltx files should be put into gamedata/configs/unlocalizers folder

  • unlocalizer .ltx'es can be named as you wish, there are no rules there

  • Supported local definitions (if local is declared like in the list below, it is possible to unlocalize it)

    • local = (will be transformed to = )
    • local (will be transformed to = nil)
    • local ,, (if any of name1, name2, name3 is in unlocalizers' lists, they all will be unlocalized) (will be transformed to ,, = nil)
    • local ,, = ,... (will be transformed to ,, = ,...)
    • local function <function_name>... (will be transformed to function <function_name>...)

  • Unsupported local definitions

    • local x; local y (will be ignored)
    • local x local y (will be ignored)
    • any variations of multiple local keywords on a single line (will be ignored)

Example in gamedata/configs/unlocalizers/unlocalizer_text.ltx
