[TFS (any)] Lib folder loader (libs like 0.4)

[zbizu]

warning: if your libs contain syntax errors, it won't load global.lua
potential fixes are welcome

with this configuration, it will load all files from data/lib/files folder

add to global.lua:

dofile('data/lib/loader.lua')

create file loader.lua in data/lib folder:

------------------------------
-- Loader config
------------------------------
local modDir = "data/lib"
local modOutput = true
local folders = {'files'} -- folders to include
------------------------------
-- Loader
------------------------------
local dirCommand = {'find ', ' -maxdepth 1 -type f'}

-- Windows compability
local platform_windows = false
if io.popen("ver"):read("*all"):find("Windows") then
	dirCommand = {'dir "', '" /b /aa'}
	platform_windows = true
end

-- lua files loader
local filesCount = 0
for i = 1, #folders do
	if modOutput then
		io.write('>> Loading ' .. folders[i] .. '... ')
	end

	for dir in io.popen(dirCommand[1] .. modDir .. folders[i] .. '/' .. dirCommand[2]):lines() do
		filesCount = filesCount + 1
		local dirstr = (platform_windows and modDir .. folders[i] .. '/' .. dir or dir)
		dofile(dirstr)
	end

	if modOutput then
		print(filesCount .. ' file(s) loaded')
	end
	
	filesCount = 0
end
