Modding Devtool Console for Total War games as a Desktop application

TW Modding Devtool Console

An electron application for Total War games that lets you execute LUA code while the game is running.

It aims to provide a basic REPL (read eval print loop) to assist in mod scripting.

Supports Troy and Warhammer 2.

Install

Windows 7+ platforms are supported (64-bit only).

Windows

Download the .exe file.

Features

This application is basically an enhanced version of the Modding DevTool Console mod for Warhammer 2

• Better editing with syntax highlighting and proper multiline support (Press Enter to execute, Shift+Enter to insert a new line)
• History of commands (navigate through them with Up / Down arrow while on the command prompt)
• _0 special variable is a reference to the last UIComponent clicked within the game
• Use print() to debug variables
• Implicit return on the last statement
• Inspect variables and tables like cm or core

Possible improvements: auto-completion, log files panel, support for more games (Three Kingdoms, Thrones of Britannia, ...)
