vscode-glua-enhanced ★ 514 14 APPLICATION

This is a Visual Studio Code extension providing comprehensive language support for Garry's Mod Lua (GLua). It delivers syntax highlighting, autocompletion, hover documentation, signature help, go-to-definition, find references, color picker, type hints, file previews (VTF/PNG), workspace scanning, global variable optimization, and a bytecode heatmap generator. The extension is built as a single Node.js process using the VS Code API, with a custom Lua parser (gluaparse) for AST analysis and a bundled gluac binary for LuaJIT bytecode manipulation. It downloads wiki data from a remote server and caches it locally. The codebase is well-organized into providers and commands, but is tightly coupled to the VS Code extension model and Garry's Mod-specific data sources, limiting direct reuse outside this context. A Python-based generator script for scraping the Facepunch wiki is also included as a separate tool.
