• Various mods such as BetterHealthUI and Performance Fix work as Clientside additions which means you can use them between servers without the host needing them installed!

• Other mods such as Movable and Sellable Wrecks require both Serverside Lua (hosting with the Lua For Barotrauma - DedicatedServer server executable) and Clientside Lua in order to function stably and to mitigate desync problems.

Once you have downloaded the mod:

• Refresh your mods tab and you will see Lua for Barotrauma, you may need to close and reopen the mods tab for it to show up after installing.

• Drag it from your disabled packages list on the right-hand side to your enabled packages list on the left-hand side

• It is advised to disable all other content packages to make the next section quicker.

• Finally, press the apply button to save your changes and enable the mod.

• On the main menu, select Host Server.

• A new drop-down box will be visible underneath the password box called Server Executable. Select the drop-down and change it from Vanilla to Lua For Barotrauma - DedicatedServer.

• All other parameters of the server do not matter, but it is advised that you uncheck the public server setting so your server does not appear on the browser while installing.

• Press the Start button to begin hosting your server, this will take longer to load than the Vanilla executable and depends on your hardware as well as other enabled packages which will increase loading time depending on their size.

• In the server lobby, you will want to open your console. The default keybind for opening console is F3.

• Once the console box opens on the top left, click on the dialogue box and type install_cl_lua and then press enter.

• A pop-up will appear in the middle of your screen telling you that Clientside Lua has been successfully installed and that you must restart your game for any changes to take effect.

• Restart your Barotrauma if you have not done it in the previous section.

• On the main menu, you will see a red strip of text in the top left of your screen that should read something along the lines of:
Using LuaCsForBarotrauma revision [X] version [X]

• This can be used to keep track of what version of Clientside Lua you are using, it is recommended to overwrite your install by following the guide from the start to ensure you have the latest version.

• Underneath the red strip of text indicating your install revision and version, click on the button reading:
Open LuaCs Settings

• You will see a list of settings, as well as a button reading:
Remove Client-Side LuaCs

• After confirming the uninstall, you may restart your game to clear it of any residual files from the mod.
