00:10 mtvisitor   Just a reminder:
00:10 mtvisitor   If there is some good practice(not best practice yet) of mod development from the luanti game engine development's perspective, please also add some unittest if possible.
00:11 mtvisitor   This will be helpful for some other mod developers with good or positive content. thanks.
00:11 * mtvisitor made 2 Refrigerators near his house on "Out Here" test game server. (one is for food, and another is for drinks)

00:13 mtvisitor   Every day is a fresh start. Enjoy the moment and relax!
17:29 crazylad    does anyone know where the engine parses the Lua node def?
18:16 Krock       crazylad: yeah well the thing is
18:17 Krock       https://i.imgflip.com/45jzj6.jpg
18:20 user333_    (nobody knows ig :P)
18:20 jonadab     warnock applies
18:20 Krock       well it's trivial to find out, but they left.
18:21 user333_    time to go digging through 300 files to find out!
18:22 jonadab     There's this thing called grep.
18:23 user333_    yeah but how do you even know what to grep for?
18:23 jonadab     Look for a string that consistently always has to be there in every node def.
18:24 Krock       register_node would be a good start
18:25 Krock       then you'll find register_item_raw and the C++ function related to parsing the item def fields
18:27 user333_    i ran 'grep -r register_node' in src/ and it found only 1 thing, a comment in src/script/common/c_content.cpp
18:28 Krock       I meant register_node as in core.register_node, which is present in register.lua
18:29 Krock       in this regard, the Lua side provides a wrapper for the C++ implementation to make things mod-friendly.
18:29 user333_    err... builtin/game/register.lua:core.register_node = make_register_item_wrapper("node")
18:30 user333_    basically, a node is a type of item when in inventory?
18:33 user333_    i only found register_node 3 times in builtin/game/register.lua; core.register_node = make_register_item_wrapper("node"), core.register_node(":air", {, and core.register_node(":ignore", {
18:34 user333_    mostly unrelated, i assume register_item parses it
19:41 jonadab     So you look up make_register_item_wrapper ...
19:41 jonadab     This is not rocket surgery.\
23:07 user333_    who named default:stonebrick and default:stone_block... why not default:stone_brick and default:stone_block / default:stonebrick and default:stoneblock
23:08 user333_    (i know MTG is maintenance-only, this is not a request to change it)
23:15 luatic      consistency aliases could be considered
