For completeness...
Lua 5 and Lua 4 follow completely different concepts under the hood. Lua 5 is register-based while Lua 4 is stack-based. My library only supports the stack-based approach.

Good thing that you found a solution  ;)

The BAD_AL tool did the trick! Thanks much!

BAD_AL has a version in his toolkit that is a little bit easier to handle than working with luac -l

I have one that works for simple lua 4.0 scripts and works well for BF1 on my Github as well that was mentioned early in the thread.

For SWBF2?

If so, you're in luck, santisurf936made a Triton squad mod for SWBF2 just last year:

I'm pretty sure giftheck did something like it for SWBF1 once upon a time.

Sorry for the bump, but how difficult would this be to convert into LUA5? I was trying to use it to access some LUA scripts for Battlefront 2 Addon maps, but it told me 5 was out of range.

Yes, as I understand it the point of the program is to "preserve" the game as is, not fix it. Which is why I don't think we will really see anything happen until we see further changes to Windows (perhaps the next OS after WIN11). I'm sure it would have to be something that would actually break the game.

 :XD:  :XD: I do not think they work on improvements, only making sure game "works". If it doesn't restart.
