Lua Libraries

Lua libraries

This page lists all common Lua libraries that can be used in Spring game and map archives.

If you want to extend this page, please only add working, well-documented libraries and frameworks, and their official links. It's possible to add early work, but try to make sure it has some documentation, and keep it in its separate repository.

Libraries:

• analytics: Usage analytics reporting
• ChiliUI: UI framework docs
• ChiliFX: Chili effects
• Chotify: Notification library in Chili
• Custom Unit Shader Framework: Unit rendering with shaders
• i18n: Translations library
• LibLobby: Spring Lobby protocol library
• LCS: OOP (classes) in Lua
• LUPS: Lua Particle System for Spring docs
• springmon: Spring file monitor and autoreloader
• spring-wrapper-connector: Wrapper program communication provider

Single file libraries

There is also a number of single file libraries that don't have their own repository but can technically still be considered libraries.

Library files:

• Vector: Small utility for vector operations
• JSON: Serializing to the JSON format
• Delay: Delaying gadget calls
• Network: Delta compression for binary strings
• Camera: Camera state serialization
• Deferred rendering Shader & Widget: Deferred rendering (projectile) based lights
