Im wondering where the lua's go for when you join a gmod server does it go in with all the others or is it in a special spot?

Can we write a song about this? Where did all the luas go~~~ Where did the luas goooooooo~~~ let my luas gooooooo~~~~ That's all I have so far

No, you can't steal other server's code. Sorry.
Also this is the wrong section. I'd say enjoy your ban for posting in the wrong section but the reigning mod rarely bans people despite the sticky at the top of this section stating "YOU WILL BE BANNED" (Hi sarge, I seeee you)

[QUOTE=411owen411;45111026]Is it possible for me to locate it?[/QUOTE] In memory? I doubt it. You could hook the function that runs the lua (assuming you know how to reverse engineer) or you can download a program that dumps gmod's cache (I believe Handsome Matt has one he posted on facepunch). If you want to do it manually, the cache is compressed with LMZA. Remove the first 4 bytes from the file with a hex editor or notepad (first 4 characters), and then decompress.

Sticky implies "you do this shit, you get banned". This guy did this shit (it's a "HALP ME" thread) so he should be banned. Plus, he's most likely wanting to hack his way into a server to steal addons.

Also, we really have no proof as to what this person wants to know about this stuff for. He might just be a curious person like me.

It is the type of thing that belongs in the Help & Support section. And again, read the title of the sticky at the top of this section: [quote]This isn't the place for [b]Help & Support[/b] threads or Server advertising threads. [b]YOU WILL BE BANNED IF YOU DO.[/b][/quote] Again, this is a "help" thread. He's looking for [b]help[/b] in locating LUA scripts from a server when you join a server. To me, that sounds like "where does gmod store lua scripts from addons a server uses. i totally don't want to steal someone's private addons".
[QUOTE=UserNotFound;45116957]Again, this is a "help" thread. He's looking for [b]help[/b] in locating LUA scripts from a server when you join a server.[/QUOTE] How is asking a question about gmod's internal working a question for help and support? Read over exactly what he posted. He didn't once ask anyone to help him locate the Lua; I posted how to do it because I wanted to fully answer any further curiosity he might have. Even if he did, that's not really a support-related question.
