[Lua] Fighting include to import the socket extension

[croxis]

I'm quite new to lua (but I have some experience with python and java) and I am having issues importing the lua socket extension. It is being imported as nil.

I was wondering if someone could take a look at the project to see where I am I going wrong.

Here is the github repo, the main lua file, and the project file.

Thank you for any help!

I believe the CivV lua implementation is sandboxed in such a way that it doesn't allow you to include the default lua sockets implementation. (Security concerns)

Bah! Is a tcp socket so hard to ask for

Something that could then be used to construct an in game UI that phishes for personal details?

Yes, certainly too much to ask Firaxis for.

They were planning on it.

They were planning a lot of things ...
