[Initial release] lua2lub

[iwillnot]

A newbie-friendly Lua to Lub compiler for folders!

What

This program allows you to compile a whole "lua files" folder's LUA files into LUB files.

I found it annoying that I'd need to do it manually for each file (Or maybe there is a simpler way, I just didn't know how).

I know not every file needs to be protected since not all LUA files are customized by most RO server owners but oh well.

The files are saved in their corresponding folders.

How to use

1. Save the RAR file in a simple directory like C:/lua2lub/ or D:/lua2lub/.
   
2. Extract in the same folder so that the 2 applications and the lua files folder are in the D:/lua2lub/ folder.
   
   
3. Run lua2lub.exe
   
4. Set the directory path ( option 2 )
   
   
5. Start compiling ( option 1 )
   
   
6. Exit ( option 4 )

Thanks for the clarification.

Another note that may interest,

It is not required to compile the lua, a simple rename to .lub and the client can read it without problem

Compiled lua is harder to read, but anybody with common sense can decompile

I feel immensely dumb now. lol.

Can I take a guess? We decompiled Gravity's LUB into LUA, which we now use. So... it's kinda pointless to turn it back into LUB?
