[MOON/MoonLoader] Load Scripts from Mod Loader

08 Ago 2020, 20:30

Note: If not working with AutoID3000 3002 or later, refer to here.

This is my first script demonstrating the usage of ___SearchModLoaderLog.

Description:
This is a lua script that searches inside Mod Loader for any lua scripts and loads them into MoonLoader.

Requirements:
___SearchModLoaderLog (for 2.0 or below)
AutoID3000 3002 or later (for 3.0 or above)

Download:
1.0 (VERY old and outdated, do not use)
2.0
3.0

Note:
Please read the Drawbacks.

Note: The script file is intentionally named with two underscores so that it is loaded before other scripts. Changing the file name may result in errors.

Usage:
To be loaded, the lua script must have the extension lua or luac, and be inside a subfolder named moonloader\.
Here are some examples:
modloader\lua mods\my mod.lua => wrong
modloader\lua mods\moonloader\my mod\my mod.lua => wrong
modloader\moonloader\my mod\my mod.lua => wrong

modloader\moonloader\my mod.lua => correct
modloader\lua mods\moonloader\my mod.lua => correct
modloader\lua mods\moonloader\moonloader mods\subfolder\moonloader\my mod.lua => correct

Drawbacks:

Libraries do not work in Mod Loader. It only works for simple scripts that require libraries installed in MoonLoader. (i.e., MoonAdditions and ImGui work if installed in MoonLoader).
Most modmakers use MoonLoader directory instead of script directory to look for files, so their scripts are not compatible.
Imports do not work

I am trying to solve these problems, but the solution only generates more problems. If anyone can contribute, please help:

Note: This method requires AutoID3000 3002 or later.

As of AutoID3000 3002 or later, this mod no longer works because of ___SearchModLoaderLog not working. Follow these steps to make it work again:

Go to MoonLoader's scripts folder and delete ___SearchModLoaderLog.lua.
Download the latest version of this mod from the main post of this topic.
Go to MoonLoader's scripts folder and put __LoadScriptsFromModLoader.lua there. Confirm replacement if asked.
Optional: Undo the steps done here.
