Minetest Forums

Well, at least phpBB has a feature of "friends and foes". So good I have this useful feature. Especially the "foes" part.

How can I write to my in-game console (that appears by pressing [T] , [F10] or [/] ) some info from my mod? it is for the sake of debugging code. Commands print() , minetest.log() , minetest.debug() do not write to in-game console, but to debug.txt file. Command print() does not work all — it does n...

And how did name them? ore1, ore2, ... ore200?

Wuzzy, are you a competitor to MT and its developers?

Emotionally!

But I disagree about unimportance of coding standards. They are important. Otherwise you won't be able to understand your own code even month later, not to mention other people's code.

Yeah. So lets stop this religious war.

I thought it is just "author".

duane wrote:Then there's finishing any word (minetest function, variable name) with c-n. Typing the whole thing is for suckers.

Geany can do the same. Once you typed some variable or function name, later you can autocomplete it by typing three first letters of that name.

Who is OP?

It would be nice developers claim officially if they ever have a plan to change the name of the game/engine.
Until then all this fuss here is meaningless.

Notepad ++. It is a very good one, and it works on all operating systems, I believe. It is Windows only. From Notepad++ website: Based on the powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program ...

It means you can execute Lua statements right in your console window without being saved in lua script file and then executed.

Wherever you like. Even in notepad.

I agree. API is not well documented. Superficial description. Function is descibed in the middle of the document. Its parameters — at the bottom the document. Besides this is just plain text file with no navigation through document. API should be in form of detailed wiki (fo example, like this one)

... That's it..., just "ROAM"

I can suggest shorter variant — YAW
It reflects the point better. The player is not just roaming. He has a plan of some route to go but he deviates from it all the time going back and forth looking for something.

It means functionality is easy extendable with modules (mods, for short)

Nice layer cake! Looks tasty!

Nice pics. But why did you make another topic for that?

Wuzzy wrote:Here are some screenshots for you:

It is not for me. It is for the game. Once player select mapgen some screenshots should be displayed in window nearby.

Gerald wrote:Maybe it should be possible to assign a preview picture to the mapgens like the background pictures of the games.

I agree. Along with adequate and descriptive name some example screenshots should be supplied.

Using minetest.override_item method I don't have to redefine all properties of an item (node/tool) but only those properties that differ. Unlike minetest.register_tool where I have to set all necessary properties again if I want to redefine only few of them. BUT what if property I would like to chan...
