With the obvious disclaimer: User editing of game files is not currently supported by Gaslamp Games. We are unable to provide and answer questions about this as much as I love the idea of people playing with the toys I made. We use the latest build of luajit compiled with the 5.2 compatibility flag and the .go files are pre-processed to add extra magic to work with our internal message passing system. Certain inbuilt library functions have been replaced as well.
Understood, and thank you. I've tried to be careful not to ask Gaslamp for any help WRT the edits I've been trying out. Just wanted to know which version of Lua to go look for documentation online.
