This is a tutorial on how to install .lua mods in the regular windows binary (.exe). The files probably work the same, but I don't know a 7zip equivalent for Mac or Linux.
You will need:
7-zip
How To
First, you need a LUA version of the mod. Not a .love file. Now, right click on the Mari0.exe, select the 7-zip sub menu, and click "Open Archive". A 7zip window will open up. Drag the .lua file in the window and then close 7zip. Now launch Mari0. The mod is installed!

I was trying to do more or less the same thing on my Mac, which would be unzipping the .love, replacing/editing proper files, and rezipping to a .love (I even followed this tutorial instead of just changing extension) but I keep getting the error:
Error
boot.lua:335: No code to run
Your game might be packaged incorrectly
Make sure main.lua is at the top level of the zip
Traceback
[C]: in function 'error'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'
DarkEdit: This happens even if I don't replace a single file, it appears to be rezipping that is the problem. I should note that my Mac lists the rezipped version as a Document rather than a Unix Executable File.

Right clicked Mari0.exe
Opened with 7-Zip
7-Zip window displaying the contents of the .exe opened up
Dragged game.lua into this new window
"Are you sure you want to copy files to archive"
Selected "Yes"
Received an error in 7-Zip that said "Not implemented"
Your problem is that you're zipping the folder. Zip te contents instead.Darkness1000 wrote:I was trying to do more or less the same thing on my Mac, which would be unzipping the .love, replacing/editing proper files, and rezipping to a .love (I even followed this tutorial instead of just changing extension) but I keep getting the error:

I've been trying to open the exe file in 7zip but I always get Not Implemented too. I tried Winrar, but I don't think it allows you to open EXE files.
