You can use an iterator to iterate through the authentication data of all players, including offline players. for key, value in minetest.get_authentication_handler():iterate() do end You can't access actual player data like last known positions and meta, see the issue LinuxDirk linked for that

It's annoying how the buttons are cut off, and that they appear when nothing is selected. The X button is also nonstandard

In 5.0.0, yes

Player Attributes are deprecated in 5.0.0, which means that you are encouraged to not use them in mods. Player Attributes are replaced by player meta , which uses the same API as node and item meta, and mod storage. Player Attributes may be removed in the future, but removing deprecated functions on...

Any name that has "test" in it, unless it's about unit testing software, is a terrible, crappy name

Yes, entities can have all 3 degrees of rotation now.

You can't currently rotate players from mods except their look yaw, though

minetest.conf.example is documentation of available settings. The documentation is for when you can't use advanced settings To set a setting from this, you need to create a new file called minetest.conf if one doesn't already exist and then add settings based on the documentation, without prepended #

Part of my aims is to store the distances of edges to make things like Pipeworks and transport network work. It's fairly essential to me.

Things stored in item metadata aren't secure. This means that it's very easy to get the ID from an item stack, potentially without client-side modifications or scripts - just by looking in the console

- the function minetest.create_form isn't defined. Maybe it does not work in the newest Minetest version. minetest.create_form is not a Minetest API, it's a function which the formspecs mod by the same author pollutes into the minetest namespace: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1...

No artifacts on the Travis, oh my.

They'll be on gitlab

What exactly are the issues? Because there shouldn't be any API breakages apart from model changes and some really really old functions being removed

Skulls wrote:Need testers?

Always. It's as simple as using 5.0.0-dev, and reporting any issues you find with backtraces and instructions on reproducing

I see this as a dynamic connectivity problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_connectivity . Although these algorithms use quite complicated data structures, they allow updates and accesses to be done efficiently (in polylogarithmic time). However, to get the full benefit of them, it would pr...

All the files in builtin/mainmenu

Default inventory menu in MTG is here: https://github.com/rubenwardy/sfinv
Don't modify sfinv though, override or register pages instead

You shouldn't write to any globals which don't match your mod name. So you should either: ⋅ Rename the table to minetest_systemd ⋅ Change modname to minetestd . You can then change the topic title to this: [Mod] Minetest Systemd (API) [minetestd] This is mostly my OCD for consist...

According to the mod code, the name for this mod should be minetestd not minetest_systemd

Immunity ends as soon as they punch someone

Use this command to go to the mod installation dir: mkdir ~/.minetest/mods; xdg-open ~/.minetest/mods

Mods on Windows, Linux, Android, and macOS are all exactly the same

I was searching the api for the 'unregister' keyword.

It's called clear instead of register because it's possible to unregister more than one recipe with a single function call, because recipes don't have IDs

https://www.minetest.net/lua_api

Mods are found in ~/.minetest/mods/

You can unregister a craft using clear_craft * `minetest.clear_craft(recipe)` * Will erase existing craft based either on output item or on input recipe. * Specify either output or input only. If you specify both, input will be ignored. For input use the same recipe table syntax as for `minetest.reg...

A block is a singular entity. However entities can be combined to build even larger groups of objects (I'll call "Group Objects" [non-programming] for lack of a better word). These Group Objects can and should operate together as if they were a single object/block. Perhaps a key block is ...
