This page is a guide for Lua compilation API.

Syntax

POST "http://luac.mtasa.com/index.php"

Parameters

  • luasource: type file the file content
  • compile: type value set to 1 to enable compilation
  • debug: type value set to 1 to enable debug information
  • obfuscate: type value
    • Set to 1 to enable some obfuscation
    • Set to 2 to enable more obfuscation (From 1.5.2-9.07903)
    • Set to 3 to enable even more obfuscation (From 1.5.6-9.18728)

Examples

Linux example using curl

FROM="example.lua"
TO="compiled.lua"
curl -s -X POST -F compile=1 -F debug=0 -F obfuscate=3 -F luasource=@$FROM http://luac.mtasa.com/ > $TO

Linux example using luac replacement

luac_mta -e3 -o compiled.lua example.lua
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
   echo "Error"
fi

Need luac_mta (R13 2019-07-12) for Linux 32 bit or Linux 64 bit

Windows batch file example using curl

set FROM="example.lua"
set TO="compiled.lua"
curl.exe -s -X POST -F compile=1 -F debug=0 -F obfuscate=3 -F luasource=@%FROM% http://luac.mtasa.com/ > %TO%

Get curl.exe
(Original from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html)

Windows example using luac.exe replacement

luac_mta.exe -e3 -o compiled.lua example.lua
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 goto lp1
   echo "Error"
:lp1

Get luac_mta.exe (R12 2019-07-12) only x86
