upb Lua Loader

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

    For Mod Creators:
    x4 version 6.xx and 7 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>

Yes, it's really great that sirNuke solved the problem. I use it for other mods too.

But it uses the upb loader to load my mods in lua. Either way, my mods should work.

the acutall version of SirNukes API also fixed the issue with menue not shown. @netupb: Great Mods, I had removed all other stuff but not your mods, works all fine with new version.

Fixed, switched to Mod Support APIs Community Edition on nexus
seems API 1.92 is buggy

Same issue, @netupb
no main menu (Esc pause in game screen)
bug appeared with game version 8.00
if you turn off upb Lua Loader then everything is fine

@Barok, It seems to be caused by SN mod support API 1.92. Try reverting to 1.90. This issue is not related to my mods.
netupb  [author] Sep 13 @ 3:53am 
@Barok, My apps do not use the mod support API. My mods use the upb loader mod.
Barok Sep 13 @ 3:42am 
In 8.0, the main menu does not open when pressing the Esc key when you are in the game. I don't know if it affects it, but I've installed an updated one Mod Support APIs v1.92.

@netupb, still thx for taking time to look at it.

@QuietMan, I tested SN Community edition alone but it has problems with multiple lua loads. So for now you have to use the original SN mod or the upb loader.
QuietMan Jun 6 @ 3:02am 
PS: I did a small test it seems your mods do not work with the new version of the API mod. So one has to use either the old SN API mod or your loader.
