### Lib Userdata

Source: https://github.com/benhall-7/paracobnet/blob/master/prcScriptOld/LuaAPI.txt

Provides methods for interacting with parameters, including directory management and saving/opening parameters.

```APIDOC
## Lib Userdata

### Description
Provides methods for interacting with parameters, including directory management and saving/opening parameters.

### Properties
- **open_dir** : string
  - Gets or sets the directory root for opening parameters.
- **save_dir** : string
  - Gets or sets the directory root for saving parameters.

### Methods
- **open** : function(string)
  - Returns a param object using the given relative path.
- **save** : function(param)
  - Saves a param object, assumes the last relative open path.
- **save** : function(param, string)
  - Saves a param object using the given relative path.
- **table2param** : function(table)
  - Converts a Lua table to param userdata.
  - You can convert params to tables through param methods.

### Modify Fighter Parameters with prcScript

Source: https://github.com/benhall-7/paracobnet/wiki/prcScript

Use this script to open, modify, and save fighter parameters in PRC files. Ensure Lib.open_dir and Lib.save_dir are set correctly before execution. This script demonstrates how to scale fighters and adjust their jump counts.

```lua
Lib.open_dir = "Path/To/Root/Folder/of/Game/Files"
Lib.save_dir = "mods" -- can specify absolute or relative paths

local start = clock()

do
    local root = assert(Lib:open("fighter/common/param/fighter_param.prc"))
    -- "t" here means a table containing each fighter param struct
    local t = assert(root:by_hash(hash("fighter_param_table'))):to_table()

    local mods = {
        mario = {
            scale = 2,
            jostle_weight = 0,
        },
        pikachu = {
            scale = 0.1,
            jump_count_max = 3,
            landing_attack_air_frame_n = 1
        }
    }

    do
        --convert the indeces of the table from strings to their hash
        local _mods = {}
        for name, t in pairs(mods) do
            _mods[hash("fighter_kind_"..name)] = t
        end
        mods = _mods
    end

    for _, p in ipairs(t) do
        local ft_kind_hash = assert(p:by_hash(hash("fighter_kind"))).value
        local mod_table = mods[ft_kind_hash]

        if mod_table then
            for param_name, value in pairs(mod_table) do
                assert(p:by_hash(hash(param_name))).value = value
            end
        end
    end

    Lib:save(root) -- saves to "mods/fighter/common/param/fighter_param.prc"
end

print("elapsed: "..clock() - start)
```

### Param Userdata

Source: https://github.com/benhall-7/paracobnet/blob/master/prcScriptOld/LuaAPI.txt

Represents a parameter and provides methods to access and manipulate its type, value, and children.

```APIDOC
## Param Userdata

### Description
Represents a parameter and provides methods to access and manipulate its type, value, and children.

### Properties
- **type** : string
  - Gets the ParamType name of the associated param.
- **value** : any
  - Gets or sets the value of the param. Does nothing if the param type is not a value.
- **value_string** : string
  - Gets or sets the value of the param, using strings. For hash40s, if labels are loaded, this means the result is either a formatted hex number or the hash's associated label.

### Methods
- **by_hash** : function(ulong)
  - Returns a struct's child param using the provided hash.
- **by_label** : function(string)
  - Returns a struct's child param using the string label.
- **by_index** : function(number)
  - Returns a struct's or list's child using the index.
- **to_table** : function
  - Converts the param to table format.
  - Values: contains "type" and "value" keys.
  - Lists: contains "type" and indexed params.
  - Structs: contains "type" and indexed {hash, param} tables.
- **clone** : function
  - Returns a deep copy of the param.
