[mod] Minetest Systemd (API) [minetest_systemd]

[Linuxdirk]

What trolling? Linuxdirk only posted a silly image,

Which is btw. absolutely correct according to one of systemd’s manpages.

This just show the complexity of systemd and that is is not a good idea to copy a system like this for Minetest.

I seriously doubt anyone's going to get mad about it.

Ok, please, stop. There's a place for fun here, and it's this board.

Any comments not about the API will be ignored by me, and possibly dealt with by the moderators.

Update

• minetestd.utils.check_item_match now understands minetest:node, which matches all nodes.
• Added minetestd.register_on_teleportplayer(function(player, old_pos, new_pos)). If the function returns true (er, technically, non-nil), then the teleport fails.
• Moved some code around in playerctl.lua. Tell me if I broke something.

Unfortunately, this update does require a full restart.

Update

• GravityCTL has become deprecated in favor of PhysicsCTL, which now handles speed, jump, gravity, and more if you desire.
• Added minetestd.utils.get_light_info(pos), which returns a table with useful info about the light at the current position.
• Added minetestd.playerctl.register_metatable_change(name, doChange(metatable)), which can be used to queue changes to the player metatable once it's available.
• Added chat commands to change default gravity, speed and jump server-wide (need privilege: setphysics)
• Added nearly-complete documentation

A restart is required for this update

Update

• Improved dependency handling and service start/stop behavior
• Fixed a few bugs
• minetestd.tables.merge_tables can now be passed a third parameter, a function that will determine what to do when a key is shared by both tables.
• Added minetestd.tables.smart_merge_values, a function designed for use with minetestd.tables.merge_tables, that will "intelligently" add two values of nearly any type.
• Added a utility for converting position vectors to short, filename-friendly strings containing only characters [0-9_]

A restart is required for this update.
