• Add Lua script injection

• Post Code

UPDATE #1: progress on the GUI

Currently waiting on status of LuaRCON problem: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=93548

- Marked as Won't Implement - so, I'll make a patch myself.

cool project.

Patch is coming along. I am going between 3 different factorio projects right now. I've got this one, Clusterio and recursive blueprints.

Currently, the patch is officially written, however there isn't a client/client script written to work well with asynchronous RCON. That's the next step. I need to write a client script that can interface with the patch.

so is there a beta available to test?

Not yet. I'm going between 4 different projects right now. Right now my next goal is to get my recursive blueprints mod expansion out. Then wrap up my work for Clusterio. Then I'll return here. I'm waiting until Clusterio, because Clusterio also uses RCON and could potentially benefit from my patch. Right now the clusterio team has me working on their windows installer, then I'm gonna dig into their rcon ix. I'm also Active Duty mil, so free time is hard to come by.

Don't get me wrong though these projects are my babies

Actually if you want to follow my work, I'll be announcing when I intend to open it up for a public beta on my "todo" list - viewtopic.php?f=34&t=93708
