In the help for the Wireshark Lua API base for ProtoField.uint* is stated as:

base (optional)

    One of base.DEC, base.HEX or base.OCT 


where it should state:

base (optional)

    One of base_DEC, base_HEX or base_OCT


i.e. the . should be an underscore, otherwise it is not possible to load the
.lua file and an error such as:

Lua: Error during loading:
 [string "myluafile.lua"]:xxxx: attempt to index global 'base' (a nil value)

is returned
