JSON library for Reddit?

I'm experimenting with API on Reddit and used dkjson, but I got parsing errors. I don't get any errors with Go's native equivalent, so I assume that the very long/complex Reddit response might trigger a bug in dkjson. What alternative do you recommend? (luarocks has tons of them)

How to deobfuscate an MLO mod from FiveM?

I recently purchased an MLO mod and tried to make it work in GTA V singleplayer (it is a house mod) And after doing research, found out that it is being obfuscated and encrypted.

these are the contents of the folder:

fxmanifest.lua

.fxap

-tream

From my research, i would want to decrypt the manifest.lua? But when i open it with notepad or visual code, it just says this:

fx\_version 'cerulean'

game "gta5"

author 'brofx'

denoscription 'brofx\_mansion\_20'

version '1.1.2'

this\_is\_a\_map "yes"

dependency '/assetpacks'

Visual code will open the .fxap into this:

# FXAP �����6����� ڝA� ��6ӵ Q^Iq� �B)�� �<���8U�~�T�œ}X���⚗U%1��A ,�    n_�S���|w�k�U52 �~��.���v [0�C�3��C� �� �mO _� ��׌'�?��ӽ���Y٫ �4

# M�� � l\�T ��Qs�"�����{󓧵ߤn<



any way i can decrypt this to work in singleplayer?

i really want to play this in singleplayer and it cost a lot so i would be bummed out that i would not be able to get this to work. thank you all.



UPDATE: I found out that in order to decrypt, i must decrypt the .YDR files, im not certain where i would start or how different it would be to decrypt these .YDR files.

Need advice for Windows + Busted + GitHub workflows

I'm trying to setup a test matrix for Windows + Linux + MacOS for lua unitests, using busted

My best attempt so far is viewable here, I got lua + luarocks installed, I'm installing the test dependencies from my .rockspec file. But it fails to build. The only error I see in the log is Error: test suite failed. The line is in the middle of a bunch of logs and the noscript keeps running but ultimately fails with exit code 1.

I have some questions about this

1. Which dependency failed to run the test suite? From the log it looks like it's a package called say. Just want to make sure I'm reading this correctly.
2. Is an error like that generally ignorable? I could completely silence the error because I could silence something important later.
3. If you know of a working "(Windows + Linux + MacOS) * Busted * GitHub" I would love to see a link to it!

Hi guys, I'm looking for a Lua library that can watch directory recursively as luv doesn't support that feature in Linux. Thank you so much!

I can't get this program to work

https://github.com/veethree/KDP this is a keyboard only pixel art editor that i have been trying to use but no matter what i do with Lua nothing happens, i installed Lua for windows with this: https://github.com/rjpcomputing/luaforwindows/releases/tag/v5.1.5-52 but no matter what i do i can't use any lua files in the folder, double clicking does nothing, using cmd, powershell, and the lua thing it gave me on the desktop does nothing, i don't know what to do

Alright, so this is the code I am using, I have added basic upgrades to the game that you get randomly after each wave. With my code currently as is shown here, whenever the createBullet() function is run it will not add to the bullets list, or maybe the bullets list is being cleared? Anyways if someone could tell me why it will not make any bullets, and maybe send an updated version of the code that would be great.

Any way to decompile .dll to .lua ?

I recently found a dll that was written in lua, but I have no idea to decompile it to readable source code or simmilar, I tried using IDA but I don't know anything about binary or hex codes so thats a no for me, I only found ways to compile lua code to executable .dll or .exe, but I want to decompile it from the alredy compiled code, is there a way to reverse engineer the .dll file?. I read that maybe lua code is compiled in C++

What programms do you recommend to decompile the dll with? (already tried dnSpy, but it doesnt work with lua)

Is there any way to make the .dll readable or useful? (making it runnable, readable or editable in .lua)



I appreciate any help or thoughts.

Is there a guide on installing luarocks for windows for a complete beginner?

I've been programming with lua for about 2 months now, I learned a lot and its my first language. Basically, I don't know anything about programming and I wanna get some extensions for lua, however, every installation guide for luarocks in windows is extremely complex and features incomprehensible terms for someone like me, I don't have any of the tools that I need and every guide mentions different tools that I dont wanna get in fear of polluting my new pc. Can someone who got it to work on their machine give me a short guide or direction on how to do it?

Lua 1 Con : 1 Pro

Hello! I started thinking about different programming languages, and their Pros and Cons (in general, not compared to each other). Each serious language has their advantages & disadvantages. I try to think about this in this format: I think of 1 Pro, something I really like about the language, and then think of 1 Con of the language, related or not to the Pro. I ask yall, Lua community, what do you think is one pro and one con of Lua as a language. I will begin:

Pro: Ik some people disagree, but I love objects being tables in Lua. It fits very well in the noscripting nature of Lua, as it's very easy to operate.

Con: I think that lack of arrays/lists is a bit annoying, and something like `array.append(...)` looks much cleaner than `array[#array+1\]=...`

Pro: I love the `:` operator, it's a nice distinguish between "non-static" and "static" function access.

Con: I feel like Lua's syntax is too simplistic. Ik it's one of the selling points, but lack of simple `+=` operators is... annoying and makes clean beautiful Lua look less clean. Ik it's hard to implement in the current parser, but it would be nice to have that.

Is pairs() compiled in luajit?

Can't find a reliable source about this. As I remember correctly in luajit 2.0 it can't be compiled and used in interpreter mode. What is the current state of pairs() in latest luajit?
