I added support to make using LuaRocks easier. You just have to point your luarocks tree or w/e they call it to the lua_modules folder and make sure the server and luarocks are using the same version of lua.

I generally use IDA to analyze the client and then will usually prototype in lua (if it isn't easier to do in server code.) I will also sometimes do packet captures on live and try to find similar functions in older client and see how it has changed, again with IDA.
