Decoda is designed to debug applications without requiring any modifications. It does however require some way of locating the Lua API functions within the application’s executable. If the application dynamically links with Lua (i.e. has a lua.dll file) then Decoda can use that to locate the Lua functions. If the application does not dynamically link with Lua, then you will need the symbolic information files (PDBs) for the application inorder to debug it with Decoda. We’re currently working with the developers of games that use Lua to give gamers the necessary PDBs to enable this. If you have developed a game that uses Lua and you would like to ensure that your players can use Decoda, contact us at decoda@unknownworlds.com.
