Features

• Sets the language server to the correct Lua version used in the game
• Removes definitions of functions and modules from the standard library that are disabled in game

Installation

1. Install lua-language-server
2. Clone this repository or download it as a .zip and unzip it. Place it inside a folder for LuaLS addons (e.g. ~/documents/LuaAddons/)
3. Add the file path of the addons folder to the workspace.userThirdParty LuaLS setting
   • VSCode
     1. Open command palette (ctrl+shift+p) from your mods folder
     2. Select Preferences: Open workspace Settings
     3. Search for lua.workspace.userThirdParty
     4. Click "Add Item", enter the path of the addons folder, and click "Ok"
   • Other editors: set the value of the LuaLS setting Lua.workspace.userThirdParty to an array with the path of the addons folder. You might want to set this only in the workspace settings of your mods folder
4. After opening a lua file in the mods folder, you should be prompted to enable the addon. Select "Apply and modify settings". If you aren't prompted to enable the addon, verify that the LuaLS setting workspace.checkThirdParty is set to true
