They aren't loaded, simple as that. ns2/lua/entry/readme.txt is still there so presumably this is a mistake.

    I assume that the code that loads the files was missed in the conversion? Shouldn't take long to fix.
    @IronHorse I TOLD you there'd be a hotfix!

    There was a problem where the modding framework was being loaded by NS2 when the mod is supposed to be the one loading the framework.

    You will need to add Script.Load("lua/PreLoadMod.lua") and Script.Load("lua/PostLoadMod.lua") to your mod's entry files defined in game_setup.xml.

    NOPE!
    No hotfix incoming.
    This was not a result of luajit, and was a change Brian had made to fix a problem, but as a byproduct it caused a problem for some mods.
    So some mods will have to adjust - its nothing drastic - just a pain for some.

    All is fine, cancel the air sirens. :-P

    I don't understand. The whole point of the entry file system was to avoid messing with game_setup.xml.

    My entry file (lua/entry/teaminfohud.entry) currently looks like this:
    DebugPrint("TEAMINFOHUD")

Script.Load("lua/PreLoadMod.lua")

modEntry = [[
Client: lua/TeamInfoHUD_Client.lua,
Server: lua/TeamInfoHUD_Server.lua,
Shared: lua/TeamInfoHUD_Shared.lua,
Priority: 5
]]

Script.Load("lua/PostLoadMod.lua")

    Nothing appears in the console and breakpoints in the file aren't hit in Decoda.

    I'm glad I'm not the only pissed about this because the change makes zero sense.

    Had a word with Sewlek, this has been an internal misunderstanding that will be fixed in the next patch.

    In the meantime, I've edited Client.lua and Server.lua to load mods and that has revealed that Class_Reload() no longer (successfully) edits network tables. All of my mod's variables are nil on the client! Any ideas @Sewlek?

    Edit: aha, PreLoadMod.lua needs to be called at the top of the file. PostLoadMod.lua goes at the bottom.
