Is there Lua modding for hoi4?

[Glorval]

I've seen some lua scripts in the game's folder and was wondering if there was a way to expand on that, even if there wasn't anything that couldn't be done with regular hoi4 scripting.

No LUA can't really be used to mod the game, it's functions are very much legacy and not used in modern titles

Damn, it'd be cool to know how to do what little there is, though.

the little that is there is really legacy, pretty sure it doesn't do anything. Without going into great detail, the decision to not port some of the AI to lua, as was done with HOI3, was made early on and so the lua binds were never added to the code.

Much to several of us that loved moding hoi3's lua, dismay.

I was mostly asking because, if file read/write was still possible with it, I'd be able to do some extra fanci stuff with modding : p
