-Minetest Lua Client Modding API Reference 5.2.0
-================================================
-* More information at <http://www.minetest.net/>
-* Developer Wiki: <http://dev.minetest.net/>
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
-** WARNING: The client API is currently unstable, and may break/change without warning. **
-
-Content and functionality can be added to Minetest 0.4.15-dev+ by using Lua
-scripting in run-time loaded mods.
-
-A mod is a self-contained bunch of scripts, textures and other related
-things that is loaded by and interfaces with Minetest.
-
-Transferring client-sided mods from the server to the client is planned, but not implemented yet.
-
-If you see a deficiency in the API, feel free to attempt to add the
-functionality in the engine and API. You can send such improvements as
-source code patches on GitHub (https://github.com/minetest/minetest).
-
-Programming in Lua
-------------------
-If you have any difficulty in understanding this, please read
-[Programming in Lua](http://www.lua.org/pil/).
-
-Startup
--------
-Mods are loaded during client startup from the mod load paths by running
-the `init.lua` scripts in a shared environment.
-
-In order to load client-side mods, the following conditions need to be satisfied:
-
-1) `$path_user/minetest.conf` contains the setting `enable_client_modding = true`
-
-2) The client-side mod located in `$path_user/clientmods/<modname>` is added to
- `$path_user/clientmods/mods.conf` as `load_mod_<modname> = true`.
-
-Note: Depending on the remote server's settings, client-side mods might not
-be loaded or have limited functionality. See setting `csm_restriction_flags` for reference.
-
-Paths
------
-* `RUN_IN_PLACE=1` (Windows release, local build)
- * `$path_user`: `<build directory>`
- * `$path_share`: `<build directory>`
-* `RUN_IN_PLACE=0`: (Linux release)
- * `$path_share`:
- * Linux: `/usr/share/minetest`
- * Windows: `<install directory>/minetest-0.4.x`
- * `$path_user`:
- * Linux: `$HOME/.minetest`
- * Windows: `C:/users/<user>/AppData/minetest` (maybe)
-
-Mod load path
--------------
-Generic:
-
-* `$path_share/clientmods/`
-* `$path_user/clientmods/` (User-installed mods)
-
-In a run-in-place version (e.g. the distributed windows version):
-
-* `minetest-0.4.x/clientmods/` (User-installed mods)
-
-On an installed version on Linux:
-
-* `/usr/share/minetest/clientmods/`
-* `$HOME/.minetest/clientmods/` (User-installed mods)
-
-Modpack support
-----------------
-
-Mods can be put in a subdirectory, if the parent directory, which otherwise
-should be a mod, contains a file named `modpack.conf`.
-The file is a key-value store of modpack details.
-
-* `name`: The modpack name.
-* `description`: Description of mod to be shown in the Mods tab of the main
- menu.
-
-Mod directory structure
-------------------------
-
- clientmods
- ├── modname
- │   ├── mod.conf
- │   ├── init.lua
- └── another
-
-### modname
-
-The location of this directory.
-
-### mod.conf
-
-An (optional) settings file that provides meta information about the mod.
-
-* `name`: The mod name. Allows Minetest to determine the mod name even if the
- folder is wrongly named.
-* `description`: Description of mod to be shown in the Mods tab of the main
- menu.
-* `depends`: A comma separated list of dependencies. These are mods that must be
- loaded before this mod.
-* `optional_depends`: A comma separated list of optional dependencies.
- Like a dependency, but no error if the mod doesn't exist.
-
-### `init.lua`
-
-The main Lua script. Running this script should register everything it
-wants to register. Subsequent execution depends on minetest calling the
-registered callbacks.
-
-**NOTE**: Client mods currently can't provide and textures, sounds or models by
-themselves. Any media referenced in function calls must already be loaded
-(provided by mods that exist on the server).
-
-Naming convention for registered textual names
-----------------------------------------------
-Registered names should generally be in this format:
-
- "modname:<whatever>" (<whatever> can have characters a-zA-Z0-9_)
-
-This is to prevent conflicting names from corrupting maps and is
-enforced by the mod loader.
-
-### Example
-In the mod `experimental`, there is the ideal item/node/entity name `tnt`.
-So the name should be `experimental:tnt`.
-
-Enforcement can be overridden by prefixing the name with `:`. This can
-be used for overriding the registrations of some other mod.
-
-Example: Any mod can redefine `experimental:tnt` by using the name
-
- :experimental:tnt
-
-when registering it.
-(also that mod is required to have `experimental` as a dependency)
-
-The `:` prefix can also be used for maintaining backwards compatibility.
-
-Sounds
-------
-**NOTE: Connecting sounds to objects is not implemented.**
-
-Only Ogg Vorbis files are supported.
-
-For positional playing of sounds, only single-channel (mono) files are
-supported. Otherwise OpenAL will play them non-positionally.
-
-Mods should generally prefix their sounds with `modname_`, e.g. given
-the mod name "`foomod`", a sound could be called:
-
- foomod_foosound.ogg
-
-Sounds are referred to by their name with a dot, a single digit and the
-file extension stripped out. When a sound is played, the actual sound file
-is chosen randomly from the matching sounds.
-
-When playing the sound `foomod_foosound`, the sound is chosen randomly
-from the available ones of the following files:
-
-* `foomod_foosound.ogg`
-* `foomod_foosound.0.ogg`
-* `foomod_foosound.1.ogg`
-* (...)
-* `foomod_foosound.9.ogg`
-
-Examples of sound parameter tables:
-
- -- Play locationless
- {
- gain = 1.0, -- default
- }
- -- Play locationless, looped
- {
- gain = 1.0, -- default
- loop = true,
- }
- -- Play in a location
- {
- pos = {x = 1, y = 2, z = 3},
- gain = 1.0, -- default
- }
- -- Play connected to an object, looped
- {
- object = <an ObjectRef>,
- gain = 1.0, -- default
- loop = true,
- }
-
-Looped sounds must either be connected to an object or played locationless.
-
-### SimpleSoundSpec
-* e.g. `""`
-* e.g. `"default_place_node"`
-* e.g. `{}`
-* e.g. `{name = "default_place_node"}`
-* e.g. `{name = "default_place_node", gain = 1.0}`
-
-Representations of simple things
---------------------------------
-
-### Position/vector
-
- {x=num, y=num, z=num}
-
-For helper functions see "Vector helpers".
-
-### pointed_thing
-* `{type="nothing"}`
-* `{type="node", under=pos, above=pos}`
-* `{type="object", id=ObjectID}`
-
-Flag Specifier Format
----------------------
-Flags using the standardized flag specifier format can be specified in either of
-two ways, by string or table.
-
-The string format is a comma-delimited set of flag names; whitespace and
-unrecognized flag fields are ignored. Specifying a flag in the string sets the
-flag, and specifying a flag prefixed by the string `"no"` explicitly
-clears the flag from whatever the default may be.
-
-In addition to the standard string flag format, the schematic flags field can
-also be a table of flag names to boolean values representing whether or not the
-flag is set. Additionally, if a field with the flag name prefixed with `"no"`
-is present, mapped to a boolean of any value, the specified flag is unset.
-
-E.g. A flag field of value
-
- {place_center_x = true, place_center_y=false, place_center_z=true}
-
-is equivalent to
-
- {place_center_x = true, noplace_center_y=true, place_center_z=true}
-
-which is equivalent to
-
- "place_center_x, noplace_center_y, place_center_z"
-
-or even
-
- "place_center_x, place_center_z"
-
-since, by default, no schematic attributes are set.
-
-Formspec
---------
-Formspec defines a menu. It is a string, with a somewhat strange format.
-
-Spaces and newlines can be inserted between the blocks, as is used in the
-examples.
-

-* `vector.subtract(v, x)`: returns a vector
-* `vector.multiply(v, x)`: returns a scaled vector or Schur product
-* `vector.divide(v, x)`: returns a scaled vector or Schur quotient
-
-Helper functions
-----------------

-### Utilities
-
-* `minetest.get_current_modname()`: returns the currently loading mod's name, when we are loading a mod
-* `minetest.get_modpath(modname)`: returns virtual path of given mod including
- the trailing separator. This is useful to load additional Lua files
- contained in your mod:
- e.g. `dofile(minetest.get_modpath(minetest.get_current_modname()) .. "stuff.lua")`
-* `minetest.get_language()`: returns two strings
- * the current gettext locale
- * the current language code (the same as used for client-side translations)

- Use this for informational purposes only. The information in the returned
- table does not represent the capabilities of the engine, nor is it
- reliable or verifiable. Compatible forks will have a different name and
- version entirely. To check for the presence of engine features, test
- whether the functions exported by the wanted features exist. For example:
- `if minetest.check_for_falling then ... end`.

-Escape sequences
-----------------
-Most text can contain escape sequences, that can for example color the text.
-There are a few exceptions: tab headers, dropdowns and vertical labels can't.
-The following functions provide escape sequences:
-* `minetest.get_color_escape_sequence(color)`:
- * `color` is a [ColorString](#colorstring)
- * The escape sequence sets the text color to `color`
-* `minetest.colorize(color, message)`:
- * Equivalent to:
- `minetest.get_color_escape_sequence(color) ..
- message ..
- minetest.get_color_escape_sequence("#ffffff")`
-* `minetest.get_background_escape_sequence(color)`
- * `color` is a [ColorString](#colorstring)
- * The escape sequence sets the background of the whole text element to
- `color`. Only defined for item descriptions and tooltips.
-* `minetest.strip_foreground_colors(str)`
- * Removes foreground colors added by `get_color_escape_sequence`.
-* `minetest.strip_background_colors(str)`
- * Removes background colors added by `get_background_escape_sequence`.
-* `minetest.strip_colors(str)`
- * Removes all color escape sequences.
-
-`ColorString`
--------------
-`#RGB` defines a color in hexadecimal format.
-
-`#RGBA` defines a color in hexadecimal format and alpha channel.
-
-`#RRGGBB` defines a color in hexadecimal format.
-
-`#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).
-To specify the value of the alpha channel, append `#AA` to the end of the color name
-(e.g. `colorname#08`). For named colors the hexadecimal string representing the alpha
-value must (always) be two hexadecimal digits.
-
-`Color`
--------------
-`{a = alpha, r = red, g = green, b = blue}` defines an ARGB8 color.
-
-HUD element types
------------------
-The position field is used for all element types.
-
-To account for differing resolutions, the position coordinates are the percentage
-of the screen, ranging in value from `0` to `1`.
-
-The name field is not yet used, but should contain a description of what the
-HUD element represents. The direction field is the direction in which something
-is drawn.
-
-`0` draws from left to right, `1` draws from right to left, `2` draws from
-top to bottom, and `3` draws from bottom to top.
-
-The `alignment` field specifies how the item will be aligned. It ranges from `-1` to `1`,
-with `0` being the center, `-1` is moved to the left/up, and `1` is to the right/down.
-Fractional values can be used.
-
-The `offset` field specifies a pixel offset from the position. Contrary to position,
-the offset is not scaled to screen size. This allows for some precisely-positioned
-items in the HUD.
-
-**Note**: `offset` _will_ adapt to screen DPI as well as user defined scaling factor!
-
-Below are the specific uses for fields in each type; fields not listed for that type are ignored.
-
-**Note**: Future revisions to the HUD API may be incompatible; the HUD API is still
-in the experimental stages.
-
-### `image`
-Displays an image on the HUD.
-
-* `scale`: The scale of the image, with 1 being the original texture size.
- Only the X coordinate scale is used (positive values).
- Negative values represent that percentage of the screen it
- should take; e.g. `x=-100` means 100% (width).
-* `text`: The name of the texture that is displayed.
-* `alignment`: The alignment of the image.
-* `offset`: offset in pixels from position.
-
-### `text`
-Displays text on the HUD.
-
-* `scale`: Defines the bounding rectangle of the text.
- A value such as `{x=100, y=100}` should work.
-* `text`: The text to be displayed in the HUD element.
-* `number`: An integer containing the RGB value of the color used to draw the text.
- Specify `0xFFFFFF` for white text, `0xFF0000` for red, and so on.
-* `alignment`: The alignment of the text.
-* `offset`: offset in pixels from position.
-
-### `statbar`
-Displays a horizontal bar made up of half-images.
-
-* `text`: The name of the texture that is used.
-* `number`: The number of half-textures that are displayed.
- If odd, will end with a vertically center-split texture.
-* `direction`
-* `offset`: offset in pixels from position.
-* `size`: If used, will force full-image size to this value (override texture pack image size)
-
-### `inventory`
-* `text`: The name of the inventory list to be displayed.
-* `number`: Number of items in the inventory to be displayed.
-* `item`: Position of item that is selected.
-* `direction`
-* `offset`: offset in pixels from position.
-
-### `waypoint`
-Displays distance to selected world position.
-
-* `name`: The name of the waypoint.
-* `text`: Distance suffix. Can be blank.
-* `number:` An integer containing the RGB value of the color used to draw the text.
-* `world_pos`: World position of the waypoint.
-
