12:33	Jordach	sup
12:34	VanessaE	hey
12:34	Jordach	decided to use a REAL client now
12:34	Jordach	adiIRC
12:55		PilzAdam joined #minetest-mods
13:40	Jordach	hello PilzAdam
13:40	PilzAdam	hi
13:40	Jordach	im trying to come up with a real quick lua interface with lua
13:40	Jordach	and functions are handy
13:51	Jordach	VanessaE, i am going to work on a simple mod that allows quick and simple mods to be made
13:51	Jordach	s/simple mod/difficult mod/
13:52	VanessaE	cool
13:58	Jordach	for now it will be fences, signs, chests, basic nodes (like sand) and basic drawtypes
13:58	Jordach	then i might start with a little more complicated
14:02	Jordach	https://github.com/Jordach/Simplistic_Minetest_Modding located here
14:02	Jordach	i lgpl'ed it
14:21	Jordach	rubenwardy updated my post a little
14:21	Jordach	http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2861
14:45	Jordach	VanessaE; can you quickly check this? https://github.com/Jordach/Simplistic_Minetest_Modding/blob/master/init.lua
14:46	Jordach	and no, ive comma'd correctly ;)
14:49	VanessaE	your sounds line needs brackets around it
14:49	VanessaE	you need to load the concatenated string as a variable name
14:50	VanessaE	I don't remember how it's done, something like ["default.node_sound_"..sound.."_defaults()"]
14:54	Jordach	http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1405583/concatenation-of-strings-in-lua
14:54	Jordach	filename = filename .. ".tmp"
14:55	Jordach	which should work
14:55	VanessaE	these aren't strings
14:55	VanessaE	per se
14:55	VanessaE	you're concatenating variables too
14:56	Jordach	damn it
14:56	VanessaE	so at the very least, do the above without the brackets
14:56	VanessaE	"default.node_sound_"..sound.."_defaults()"
14:56	Jordach	they went grey
14:56	Jordach	(n++)
14:57	Jordach	ill push it to git
14:57	Jordach	(faster)
14:57	VanessaE	have you seen my latest nodebox abuses? :-)
14:58	Jordach	nope
14:58	VanessaE	https://github.com/VanessaE/pipeworks
14:58	VanessaE	download and play around for a bit :-)
14:59	Jordach	im trying to make mods quickly and efficiently
14:59	Jordach	without copy and pasting
14:59	Jordach	think of it as http://scratch.mit.edu/ for minetest
15:01	Jordach	"this is the same for variables I think"
15:04	Jordach	yes it shoukld
15:05	* Jordach	sneezes
15:05	Jordach	i think its thundering
15:06	Jordach	PilzAdam, could you take a look at this: https://github.com/Jordach/Simplistic_Minetest_Modding/blob/master/init.lua
15:07	* PilzAdam	looks
15:07	Jordach	thanks
15:07	PilzAdam	minetest.register_node(MASTER_MODNAME..":"..nodename, {
15:08	PilzAdam	function un_natural_node(groups, texture, description, nodename, drawtype, sound)
15:09	PilzAdam	these two lines had errors (1st: the ".." have to be outside the " 2nd: there was a . instead of ,)
15:10	PilzAdam	is_ground_content has no effect
15:10	Jordach	its there because its for something
15:10	PilzAdam	https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L1325
15:11	Jordach	ill leave it nthere
15:11	PilzAdam	thats all (i think)
15:12	Jordach	re-pushing
15:14	PilzAdam	minetest.register_node(MASTER_MODNAME..":"..nodename, {
15:15	PilzAdam	only the : have to be in "
15:15	Jordach	minetest.register_node("MASTER_MODNAME"..:.."nodename", { is this legit?
15:16	PilzAdam	you put the names of the variables in "" ; thats wrong
15:16	PilzAdam	the : have to be in ""
15:17	Jordach	right
15:17	Jordach	repushing
15:19	VanessaE	minetest.register_node(MASTER_MODNAME..":"..nodename, {
15:19	VanessaE	that's what you shoulda used
15:20	* Jordach	slaps VanessaE with Windows Update
15:20	* VanessaE	falls over, dead
15:20	PilzAdam	yay
15:20	* Jordach	makes PilzAdam unstable with a 2.5 kernel
15:21	PilzAdam	:-(
15:21	* Jordach	runs loggingbot trough Autoconf version 2.13
15:22	Jordach	might disconnect my hard wired tower (this pc)
15:22	Jordach	i dont want to blow it up from the thunder
15:26	Jordach	my repos cleaned
15:29	Jordach	PilzAdam; for some reason, n++ does this: http://i.imgur.com/OD9RN.png
15:30	PilzAdam	put an "end" after the )}

18:59	Jordach	VanessaE; then i might work on some more decorative nodes
18:59	Jordach	like regal carpets
19:00	VanessaE	that would work
