Scripting support for HeXHub.

Hex Script

Is a plugin for HeXHub 5.01j or newer (it will not load on older versions!).
Currently you can write Lua 5.1.3 scripts that can interact with the NMDC interface of the hub.
The plugin can be configured from the HeXHub GUI under the 'extra' section. If you found a bug please report it to me in hex admins hub.
If you are a Lua scripter you might want to check out the Hex Script NMDC Lua scripting reference
