**API packages**
|
|
|
|
API packages provide functions that can be called by scripts. I.e. it is a script-to-engine interaction.
|
|
A package can be loaded with ``require('<package name>')``.
|
|
It can not be overloaded even if there is a lua file with the same name.
|
|
The list of available packages is different for global and for local scripts.
|
|
Player scripts are local scripts that are attached to a player.

|
**openmw_aux**
|
|
|
|
``openmw_aux.*`` are built-in libraries that are itself implemented in Lua. They can not do anything that is not possible with the basic API, they only make it more convenient.
|
|
Sources can be found in ``resources/vfs/openmw_aux``. In theory mods can override them, but it is not recommended.
