This is an example of so-called conditioned code . The idea is to make it difficult to understand the algorithm when reading the source code or disassembling / decompiling the object code. It is used most often in malicious code, I would not be surprised if this is some kind of exploit.

Characters in quotes - indeed in ASCII, as suggested by @Asen . The first few characters: cmd("cl_down...

    So (and only this way - in Lua 5.1) you can specify character codes in lua strings - in decimal format. And in this case, these are really ASCII codes.

      No coding method has been applied here. This is a sequence of characters (most likely ASCII), each character of which is converted into a position corresponding to the sequence number in the table (ASCII, IMHO).

        This code is equivalent to the following:
