Introduction

LuaUI widgets are files containing Lua code that you can run while playing a Spring game in order to assist you with unit management, provide you with valuable information, or otherwise supplement the basic Spring user interface. They are easy to install, easy to run and manage ingame, and relatively easy to write should you choose to learn how to do so.

Getting Widgets

Widget code and files are quite often released as posts in the Spring Lua Forum. In addition, they are also mirrored at popular Spring file sites such as JobJol.

It is also highly recommended that you visit the wiki's LuaUI Widget Directory, which contains a list of many widgets, along with mod compatibility information and possible additional installation instructions.
