Making lfs and io available in ME Script Environment

[Igneous01]

I'm trying to figure out how to make lfs and io available to my mission.

 

I saw this link in mist:

 

http://wiki.hoggit.us/view/Dump_G

 

For functions mist.debug.dump_G, mist.debug.writeData, and mist.debug.dumpDBs, you must (temporarily!) unprotect the Lua environment and enable the io and lfs libraries. You do this by commenting out the sanitizeModule calls in <DCS main directory>/Scripts/MissionScripting.lua. Just be sure to re-protect yourself later when you run missions from untrusted sources.

 

So I followed those instructions and commented out the sanitizeModule calls in the MissionScripting.lua file (for all the apis). I saved it and restarted DCS.

 

When I go back into mission and try something like env.info(lfs.writedir() or _G["lfs"] or lfs == nil it's always telling me lfs is nil. When I try using lfs = require ("lfs") it tells me require is nil. I made sure to comment out those things so that loadlib and require are available, but everything is still nil in ME environment.

 

How do I get access to these libraries?

Have a look here, in chapter 1.8

Are you running any mods, specifically slmod? I used slmod as an example because it modifies missionscripting.lua which would overwrite any changes you made.

I found the problem - my 1.5 dcs created a seperate install inside of my existing DCS World\bin directory, so I was editing a file that wasn't being loaded by the game. Reinstalled and fixed the path issues and now I can use io and lfs. Thanks guys!
