[WARNING]: What is Luadebug and Why You Should be Wary of it?
This mod, and some others, request you to use luadebug as a requirement but what is it really and does it do?
What is Luadebug?
Luadebug unlocks many of the modding api limitations, which is good, but some of those limitations (like unrestricted file/internet access) are there to protect your PC from malicious attacks from mods. What does this mean?, essentially, it means your PC is vulnerable to attacks from any mods you may have enabled.
"I know this mods creator and Mod, I know it's safe!"
This is the main excuse I often hear, why is this flawed?, because, on Steam, mods can update at any given time, without your permission...any mod on your mods list could add a malware any day and you wont even notice. In other words, a mod can be safe on the day you download it but become unsafe any day after that.
What Can I do about it?
The safest way to run luadbeug mods is to isolate them, so you make sure that only the mod that requires luadebug is enabled and the rest are disabled....and that after you finish playing with the luadebug mod, you remove the lua debug launch parameter before enabling any of the other mods.
Now, ofc, the author of the luamod requirement mod can also ♥♥♥♥ you up, so make sure you trust said creator before enabling luadebug and even take a look at the mods files if you can and/or know how to do it.

If you got any questions just toss them in this thread if you want.

Yes, that's exactly what happened.

I've open sourced this mod, to prove it's safe, but there may be other malicious mods. In short, this mod allows other mods to have the ability to modify game logic(not only internal data but also the program) if player gives premission(--luadebug), which is currently not possible with the Lua interface. Everything in the mod is open source.

Yea, thats neat and certainly will make people more open to using this one....however, the biggest misunderstanding, that I usually put emphasis on, is that ALL mods can use luadebug when its on and not just the mod that requires it....so any mod on the workshop could be a sleeper bomb or turn into a bomb at any given time. Another good practice with luadebug is to simply download the mods you think may ♥♥♥♥ you instead of subbing to them, that way, you wont get automatic updates and they will be as safe as they were when you downloaded them.
