Wouldn't say competing -- more like supplementary to each other. Mine only deals with restoring the game into vanilla state, and then getting modded files in. Extra lua features (like the modding API) can then be added as separate mods, loaded before all others that depend on those extra features.

My mod loader (viewtopic.php?f=26&t=32833) takes better advantage of the use of lua (imo), and thanks to AUTOMATIC helping me with UI stuff it will soon be possible to configure mods from inside the game, no external programs or moving of files required.

Fair! I was not aware you had in-game UI in the works. Guess I should have followed the discord more closely (I joined a few days ago, but didn't actively participate)
