The game directory can contain the following files:
* `game.conf`, with the following keys:
- * `name`: Required, a human readable title to address the game, e.g. `name = Minetest`.
+ * `title`: Required, a human-readable title to address the game, e.g. `title = Minetest Game`.
+ * `name`: (Deprecated) same as title.
* `description`: Short description to be shown in the content tab
* `allowed_mapgens = <comma-separated mapgens>`
e.g. `allowed_mapgens = v5,v6,flat`
max_drop_level=1,
groupcaps={
crumbly={maxlevel=2, uses=20, times={[1]=1.60, [2]=1.20, [3]=0.80}}
- }
+ },
damage_groups = {fleshy=2},
}
`#RRGGBBAA` defines a color in hexadecimal format and alpha channel.
Named colors are also supported and are equivalent to
-[CSS Color Module Level 4](http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-color/#named-colors).
+[CSS Color Module Level 4](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-4/#named-color).
To specify the value of the alpha channel, append `#A` or `#AA` to the end of
the color name (e.g. `colorname#08`).
* `vector.apply(v, func)`:
* Returns a vector where the function `func` has been applied to each
component.
+* `vector.combine(v, w, func)`:
+ * Returns a vector where the function `func` has combined both components of `v` and `w`
+ for each component
* `vector.equals(v1, v2)`:
* Returns a boolean, `true` if the vectors are identical.
* `vector.sort(v1, v2)`:
* Returns the cross product of `v1` and `v2`.
* `vector.offset(v, x, y, z)`:
* Returns the sum of the vectors `v` and `(x, y, z)`.
-* `vector.check()`:
+* `vector.check(v)`:
* Returns a boolean value indicating whether `v` is a real vector, eg. created
by a `vector.*` function.
* Returns `false` for anything else, including tables like `{x=3,y=1,z=4}`.
* `minetest.string_to_pos(string)`: returns a position or `nil`
* Same but in reverse.
* If the string can't be parsed to a position, nothing is returned.
-* `minetest.string_to_area("(X1, Y1, Z1) (X2, Y2, Z2)")`: returns two positions
+* `minetest.string_to_area("(X1, Y1, Z1) (X2, Y2, Z2)", relative_to)`:
+ * returns two positions
* Converts a string representing an area box into two positions
+ * X1, Y1, ... Z2 are coordinates
+ * `relative_to`: Optional. If set to a position, each coordinate
+ can use the tilde notation for relative positions
+ * Tilde notation: "~": Relative coordinate
+ "~<number>": Relative coordinate plus <number>
+ * Example: `minetest.string_to_area("(1,2,3) (~5,~-5,~)", {x=10,y=10,z=10})`
+ returns `{x=1,y=2,z=3}, {x=15,y=5,z=10}`
* `minetest.formspec_escape(string)`: returns a string
* escapes the characters "[", "]", "\", "," and ";", which can not be used
in formspecs.
* `job:cancel()`
* Cancels the job function from being called
+Async environment
+-----------------
+
+The engine allows you to submit jobs to be ran in an isolated environment
+concurrently with normal server operation.
+A job consists of a function to be ran in the async environment, any amount of
+arguments (will be serialized) and a callback that will be called with the return
+value of the job function once it is finished.
+
+The async environment does *not* have access to the map, entities, players or any
+globals defined in the 'usual' environment. Consequently, functions like
+`minetest.get_node()` or `minetest.get_player_by_name()` simply do not exist in it.
+
+Arguments and return values passed through this can contain certain userdata
+objects that will be seamlessly copied (not shared) to the async environment.
+This allows you easy interoperability for delegating work to jobs.
+
+* `minetest.handle_async(func, callback, ...)`:
+ * Queue the function `func` to be ran in an async environment.
+ Note that there are multiple persistent workers and any of them may
+ end up running a given job. The engine will scale the amount of
+ worker threads automatically.
+ * When `func` returns the callback is called (in the normal environment)
+ with all of the return values as arguments.
+ * Optional: Variable number of arguments that are passed to `func`
+* `minetest.register_async_dofile(path)`:
+ * Register a path to a Lua file to be imported when an async environment
+ is initialized. You can use this to preload code which you can then call
+ later using `minetest.handle_async()`.
+
+### List of APIs available in an async environment
+
+Classes:
+* `ItemStack`
+* `PerlinNoise`
+* `PerlinNoiseMap`
+* `PseudoRandom`
+* `PcgRandom`
+* `SecureRandom`
+* `VoxelArea`
+* `VoxelManip`
+ * only if transferred into environment; can't read/write to map
+* `Settings`
+
+Class instances that can be transferred between environments:
+* `ItemStack`
+* `PerlinNoise`
+* `PerlinNoiseMap`
+* `VoxelManip`
+
+Functions:
+* Standalone helpers such as logging, filesystem, encoding,
+ hashing or compression APIs
+* `minetest.request_insecure_environment` (same restrictions apply)
+
+Variables:
+* `minetest.settings`
+* `minetest.registered_items`, `registered_nodes`, `registered_tools`,
+ `registered_craftitems` and `registered_aliases`
+ * with all functions and userdata values replaced by `true`, calling any
+ callbacks here is obviously not possible
