Mod authors want to be able to modify base asset Lua scripts, but doing so runs the risk of collisions with other mods.
The alternative of adding "hooks" by injecting new scripts into config files works in some cases, but it's not very intuitive and is still prone to mod conflicts.
LuaPluginLib adds some utilities to better manage these "hooks" and adds a config-driven "plugin" system for loading modifications to a lua file without needing to patch every config where it's referenced to stack your hook.
With LuaPluginLib, add one JSON patch to reference your plugin, define your hooks with add_before_hook(<function>, <your hook>), and if necessary define requirements/load-order expectations relative to other plugins.
NOTE: This is still an in-development Beta release. Not all vanilla scripts are currently supported, but the list is growing every day.
