Welcome to the OpenLuaTools wiki.

OpenLuaTools is a Millennium plugin for OpenSteamTool. It is an OpenSteamTool-compatible continuation of the LuaTools-style plugin workflow and uses the openluatools Millennium plugin namespace.

What OpenLuaTools does

OpenLuaTools adds a Steam client interface for managing OpenSteamTool Lua scripts and related helper files from inside the Millennium plugin environment.

The OpenSteamTool-specific changes are:

• Lua scripts are installed, listed, and removed from <Steam>/config/lua.
• OpenSteamTool-compatible Lua files keep setManifestid(...) lines intact.
• Updates point to ToxcGang/OpenSteamToolPlugin.
• Downloaded archives are extracted to a temporary plugin folder and validated before files are copied.
• The plugin does not automatically migrate legacy SteamTools stplug-in scripts.
