Changes to existing LUA scripts

[Rob H]

Now that we're on LUA 5 what are the changes that are required to existing scripts?

Most of them should be fairly obvious e.g. strfind -> string.find etc.

Anything else that might be tricky?

Just wondering if it's worth writing a script that transforms a LUA 4 script into LUA 5. While I'm still developing LDJ for LUA4 I don't really want to maintain two different versions - that way madness lies.

The Girder functions are moving to 'gir.' too. Other than that I think most of the scripts should translate fine. But don't quote me on this.

That would be awesome, I could then keep all my old dirties!
