Decompile Luac
You’ll need:
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
|---------|--------------|-----|
| unrecognized version | Wrong Lua version | Detect and use correct tool |
| no debug info | Stripped locals/names | Decompiled code has generic names (e.g., _1, _2) |
| compressed luac | Stripped or pre-compressed | Try lua-lz or unluac --rawstring |
| invalid instruction | Corrupted file or encrypted | Check file header, XOR/obfuscation? |
| unluac fails on 5.4 | Newer opcodes | Use --rawstring or wait for updates | decompile luac
