Simple mod Lua Script("Hello World")?

You're not doing it correctly. Do the following (Same code and folder structure, create them if they are not there already)

0.31/mods/unpacked/myMod/ <-- This is where your mods will go

lua/ge/extensions/ <-- The game uses a thing called "extensions", this is where your entry point will go

myMod.lua <-- Your magical file​

scripts/myMod/

modScript.lua <-- The game will look for this to determine what to load and how
​

In "myMod.lua", put the following:

Code:

local M = {} -- This is your module (hence the "M")

local function onExtensionLoaded()
    log('D', "onExtensionLoaded", "Called!")
end

M.onExtensionLoaded = onExtensionLoaded -- We want to expose this to the module so the game can call it

return M -- The game requires the module, so we must return it so the game can access it. That way it can call the "onExtensionLoaded" function

In "modScript.lua", put the following:

Code:

load("myMod") -- Load the mod
setExtensionUnloadMode("myMod", "manual") -- Set the unload mode to manual (This is very new, old function is deprecated)

Hopefully this helps, if not then oh well. Just take a look through the game's scripts to see how it all works

 

One of the developers, Stenyak, has done a really good job on this https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/programming/ so check it out when you have the time, it's got some really valuable information

 

Yeah, it was only recently added
