Are there any limitations interms of what you can do with lua, and this game? If not, is it possible to rewrite key components of the program in lua and run that script to "Override" the games' internal code? For example, could I write an lua script re-doing the heat system?
What variables / classes / functions are not accesible to lua, but accessible to the internal code?
Then why post?!
I think you can, if you obtain the source code, and learn both C and Lua.
You should PM a developer to make sure.
the most freaking useful post i've ever seen.
i remember that you can control heat conductivity of the elements by overriding it in lua scripts.
also, you could override each element elem_func, while disabling heat sim, to "re-do" heat system.
if you want some more global-ish changes - you'd better go learn c.
That was a necro, so boo. And let the more advenced people actually answer your question because I don't know how to really explain it.
