You can try "^([a-z])%1" and "([a-z])%1$", or simply "^[xX][xX]+.-[xX][xX]+$" or such.

This deserves a big Thank You, and probably made a forum-wide sticky post.

No necesitas ningún mod.

Si juegas en la versión de PC, presiona F7. Si juegas en Android presiona el icono de configuración (engranaje), luego el icono de vista (ojo).

Re: What exactly is this mese stuff anyway?

Hello and welcome! 0.4.13 is really old. You should update to 0.4.16. The packages provided by the Ubuntu repositories may be out of date; using the PPA is the easiest option.

Use `register_globalstep` or `after`. To get the players currently online, use `get_connected_players`, then do whatever you need: minetest.register_globalstep(function(dtime) for _, p in ipairs(minetest.get_connected_players()) do -- Do something with `p`. end end) `dtime` is the time since last st...

Re: [Mod] Internationalization Library [intllib]

The boilerplate was split for that very reason: so in case it needs to be updated (it probably won't be anytime soon), all you have to do is download the file from the repo which can be done from a shell script with `wget` or `curl` (the raw URL is at the top of the file). The fact that `.txt` trans...

Yes it is. The database has no circular references or anything hidden, so simply removing a name or IP from an entry disassociates it from the "user".

Re: [RANT]Why do people not read my messages properly???!

I can't say anything about your other points, but regarding the birthday topic, it does not belong here. It used bad language, lots of it; it started to attract low quality posts; it touches a sensitive topic not suitable for the audience here. So it was trashed. Take that kind of stuff elsewhere.

You can get the "name" of an object with `object:get_luaentity().name`. You can check if a pointed thing is for an object by checking its `type`, and then get the object with the `ref` field: if pointed_thing.type == "object" then local obj = pointed_thing.ref local name = obj:ge...

You can set a per-player textured skybox, but that requires Lua. I don't recall if you can edit the default sky via textures (you can override sun.png and moon.png).

There's also the minetestdevs/daily-builds PPA if you are feeling like it, but do note that it may be unstable.
