Slinky:
With gamecycle.lua and elminatio.lua int he same directory, and using dofile(), I get that error.  However, when I change it to loadfile(), I no longer get a "no such file or directory" error.  However:

Previously when Think() ran, it said that it had a problem trying to call a nil value, with no additional details.
Now it throws an error when calling think():  'attempt to call global TestFunc: a nil value'.  So that says to me that loadfile() may still be failing, but silently.  This happens when gamecycle.lua is in the other two directories you named as well.

Slinky:
I've just verified- I removed gamecycle.lua from my steam folders completely and it's still doing the same thing, so probably not reading gamecycle.lua successfully.

Slinky:
Was there ever an answer discovered for this?

killermonkey:
Awesome, here's a reference i just found:

http://www.lua.org/pil/8.1.html

It uses the LUA command require <filename>, where require actually lets you specify a path to search on.

You can set that path by setting the global variable: LUA_PATH to a string and thats it.

I have added direct support for this newly found feature in Beta 4 where the LUA_PATH global variable will be defined based on the full path to gesource/scripts/gameplay  so future use of "require" will be meaningful without declaring your own variable

Slinky:
Awesome, thank you.
