Are all of the functions in _G\GameCore Accessible and useable by Mods?

[DeckerdJames]

I am using the Firetuner to browse _G.

I have included the contents of the _G\GameCore and _G\GameCore\Players as an example of what is in there. I do recognize functions in the Players table as functions a mod can use. Does anyone know if all of GameCore is useable?

There are also many other tables under _G and a few more are named as game related tables. There are the tables GameEventFactory, GameEvents, GameInfo, GameInfoData. Are these outside of the scope that a mod can use?

I assume that the entire LUA side of the game is in _G, but I am not sure about that. If it isn't the entire LUA engine, then it still appears to contain many functions.

I wanted to be able to browse through these files more easily so I started to make a browser. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make it.

I have attached the panel I created in the Firetuner. I need to coordinate the components together and I wanted to use them to navigate.

Spoiler Picture of the function browser :

The left group of controls are selection list controls. These controls separate the contents of the _G table into groups of pairs. The top, left control contains pairs which are neither table nor function. The two controls below that contain the tables and functions.

I want to be able to select either a table or a function of _G. If I select a table, it's contents would load in the same format (other files, tables, functions) into the middle panels which are empty at the moment. If I select a function, I was hoping to display the function body and the function's definition in the right most control (a Data View control, I think), so I could easily view the functions.

If I go deeper into the sub-tables, the middle set of controls would always show the deeper "directory" and the left set of controls would show the next level up. The back buttons would all do the same thing, which is to go up a level. I was just putting a bunch of the back buttons there so it would be easier to click to go back. I probably would want to add a control that displays the \path to the user.

I admit, I am in over my head. I don't know how to make these panels look at the same variable which would contain the \path. I don't know if the Data View control is the correct type of control for the function viewer control. I think I can use the "on selection" event to update the appropriate things, if I could make each panel coordinated to the current \path, for example "_G : GameCore : Player". However, I am not sure how to do that or whether I can access more that _G from a panel. My LUA skills are of a beginner level so I might even be using the wrong syntax to attempt to dereference sub-tables in _G.

I know it is probably a long shot to ask, but can anyone help me figure this out. I have attached the "panel file".

Out of curiousity have you looked at the Civ 6 Modding Companion?

No, I think I have the original version bookmarked, but it has been awhile since I looked at it. I play the game more than I ever tried to mod it, but I keep getting tempted to learn how to.

Yes, this 2.0 version is very nicely formatted. From the looks of what is in here, it probably contains everything. Certainly has a lot in it. Thanks for showing me that.

 

[Laurana Kanan]

No, I think I have the original version bookmarked, but it has been awhile since I looked at it.

There's been four different versions that I can recall, this just happens to be the latest that WildW expanded upon after Chimp left.

It turns out that they have a table viewer already built in. It appears to show the live data. That makes sense. So for anyone that didn't know, you can place this table viewer in a new panel and look straight at the tables. It doesn't show the functions in string form, though. I think it defaults to _G, but you can type a name into the box.

Spoiler Picture of Table Viewer :

edit: It may not have been live data. I think it was ENUMs I was seeing. I had to restart my game + tuner and now this table viewer doesn't seem to do anything. I am confused now. Right before it displayed the directory, I was playing with this code below. I copied something from the internet to try and parse out the function and I was just playing with the code and I don't even think the code made any sense and it didn't seem to do anything. I was learning that I could use the print command to print out to the main console. Then the table viewer started working, but I didn't think it was the code I was changing so I deleted it and I thought I had reopened the whole panel and it still worked. That is why I thought it was the default for the table viewer. I just happened to have this code still in the clipboard and it must be pretty close to what was in there when it the viewer started working.

function()
    local listItems = {};
    local myfunction = _G.GameCore.Map.IsPlot;
    local t = debug.getinfo (myfunction)
    print("Line");
         if t.linedefined >= 0 then
              local name = t.source:gsub("^@","")
              for line in io.lines(name) do
                 listItems[i] = line
              end
        end
  return listItems;
end
