Lua Compilation for Super Mario 64 Coop Deluxe

A full tutorial on how to compile Lua files to 64-bit for sm64coopdx

Although this is a resource specifically for compiling for sm64coopdx, it should work for any other games that use lua files.

Initial Compilation

1. Download and Extract lua-compiler.zip into any folder.
2. (Optional) To remove debugging data, create a shortcut the extracted luac.exe with the flag -s at the end of the shortcut properties
3. Drag and Drop your Lua file of choice onto luac.exe (or it's shortcut)
4. In the directory you dragged the Lua file from, you should see luac.out. Rename luac.out to it's original filename ([file-name].lua)

32-bit Compatibility (Optional)

Note that 32-bit is no longer standard and is likely depricated on most machines, only compile if you know you require it

5. Go to https://lua-bytecode.github.io/ and insert your compiled file ([file-name]-64.lua)
6. In the Dropdown labeled "Convert to another EnBi", Select "L4488 (x86 default)"
7. Save/Rename the Outputted file to [file-name]-32.lua
