Need help with Lua 5.0.3 game script

Hi, I’m trying to reverse a mobile game that uses Lua 5.0.3 scripts. I’ve extracted the .luac files and decompiled them, but the code is messy with obfuscated names like L0_1, etc.

Can anyone share tools, tips, or scripts to clean up and understand these better? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

( if script is needed let me know.)

Haha, good one. But seriously — I’m just trying to understand how Shiva3D handles its Lua script structure. Any real insight or pointers would be appreciated.

Sorry, i threw in a joke just to have a post to hopefully show yours and get more responses. I stopped trying to learn lua scripting a while ago. I pay people to do roblox stuff now XD
I wish you the best

Try this tool https://frida.re/ it allows you to hook and inject functions in realtime, it might allow you to see how Lua script runs in the game

I had a feeling that is why you said that lol. Everyone hates on LUA 😭 it was the first language I ever played with though.

@OP I haven't used it in many years and when I did it was for World of Warcraft private server development based on ArcEmu but if you want to send me a PM sometime maybe I can try to help out although never used LUA for Roblox which is mainly the only thing I even see LUA being affiliated with these days.
