Lua Linker

Brief overview

As the description says, this is a lightweight lua linker made for merging code from multiple files into one. Useful for mod/hack development for roblox games where you can typically only inject a single script.

Usage

Open the latest build here and download the lua_linker.exe file. Place it in a directory of your choice and double click to run.

The main.lua file is where the program starts merging code. You can include other .lua files inside the same directory by writing -- include filename.lua in the main.lua file. The program will grab the contents of any included files and drop them into the main file. The merged code will be placed into the final.lua file.

Example

main.lua

-- include linkTest.lua

print("Hello from the main.lua file")
-- You can use the main file for staging and move other code into the included files

linkTest.lua

print("Hello from the linkTest.lua file")
-- You can write extra functions, variables, and anything else in the other files

and lastly the resulting final.lua file after the program is run

print("Hello from the linkTest.lua file")
-- You can write extra functions, variables, and anything else in the other files

print("Hello from the main.lua file")
-- You can use the main file for staging and move other code into the included files
