Could you build this?
Partial The Lua/options-menu layer is vibe-codeable, but injecting a Lua 5.1 runtime into a game process and hooking its scripting system requires reverse engineering the game's internals and maintaining it across patches.
What it would actually take: The core would be a DLL or native injector that loads the game's Lua environment, hooks its engine functions, and sandboxes multiple addons with crash guards. Finding stable hook points requires reverse engineering the game binary with tools like Ghidra and debuggers, and it breaks with every game update. The work needs native systems programming, Windows injection techniques, and ongoing reverse engineering skills.
