Lua Patcher

Developer Note: If you want to just hide the error pop-up, follow this guide. This addon focuses more on fixing broken code.

This is basically only the Lua Error Fixer part of my old Lua and Model Error Fixers addon I made a while back as some people have requested me to separate the Lua Error Fixer from the Model Error Fixer.

The addon attempts to redefine Lua rules to prevent Lua errors from showing up by other addons. It does this by having certain Lua operations return an appropriate value instead of throwing an error.

You can think of this addon as providing a set of rules to the interpreter on how to deal with Lua errors before they even happen. As a plus, this sometimes allows broken addons to become functional again!

This addon does not fix model and texture errors. Try using the !*$%? ERRORS addon for fixing those.

This addon can only fix compiled Lua code. The script file itself must not have any syntax errors or it won't compile and will be invisible to this addon. I can't do anything to fix these, sorry.

Lua Repair also cannot fix errors that contain the phrase "attempt to compare X with number" or "attempt to compare X with string" due to how number and string comparisons are implemented in Lua 5.1. If Garry ever allows __lt and __le metamethods to be invoked for mixed types, this error will become fixed.

Other than the above, there will exist a way for this addon to deal with the error.

Sadly, each illegal Lua operation must be redefined one by one. If this happens, give me the first line of the error message as well as which addon did it so that I can see what operation Lua was trying to do.

Note that if you don't give me enough information about the error, I might not be able to fix it!

The chatbox addon seen in the screenshots is the old SChat: 3D Chat Addon.

Maybe. This addon uses unavoidable getmetatable and debug.setmetatable calls for its operations. If the DRM detects the use of these functions then it will be triggered.

You can find / download it on my GitHub page[github.com]. You can also download this whole addon from GitHub instead of here if you're crafty enough.



If you like my work, you now have the option to donate on Ko-fi[ko-fi.com] so that I can keep working for another day. Every little bit helps!
