Re: problems while using my loader function?

[lj_enjoylife <lslj0516@...>]

first
just replace the loader_lua loader.
and also it works.

second
i`m not using LUA_ENVIRONINDEX. I operate the "package" table directly.
What i was confused by is that i couldn`t get the "path" from the table(LUA_ENVIRONINDEX).

Hello!

Are you sure you want to be replacing the Lua loader entirely?  If all
you want to do is load packed Lua files, the loader mechanism falls
back to other loaders until one succeeds.

I also noticed you're using LUA_ENVIRONINDEX.  If you're trying to
mimic the behavior of the Lua loader, you need to actually set the
function environment for my_module_loader in order for that to work.
Either that, or use an upvalue.
