Minetest Lua Modding API Reference 0.4.dev
==========================================
More information at http://c55.me/minetest/
Introduction
-------------
Content and functionality can be added to Minetest 0.4 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.
Mods are contained and ran solely on the server side. Definitions and media
files are automatically transferred to the client.
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 to <celeron55@gmail.com>.
Programming in Lua
-------------------
If you have any difficulty in understanding this, please read:
http://www.lua.org/pil/
Startup
--------
Mods are loaded during server startup from the mod load paths by running
the init.lua scripts.
Mod load path
-------------
Generic:
$path_share/games/gameid/mods/
$path_share/mods/gameid/
$path_user/games/gameid/mods/
$path_user/mods/gameid/ <-- User-installed mods
$worldpath/worldmods/
In a run-in-place version (eg. the distributed windows version):
minetest-0.4.x/games/gameid/mods/
minetest-0.4.x/mods/gameid/ <-- User-installed mods
minetest-0.4.x/worlds/worldname/worldmods/
On an installed version on linux:
/usr/share/minetest/games/gameid/mods/
~/.minetest/mods/gameid/ <-- User-installed mods
~/.minetest/worlds/worldname/worldmods
Mod directory structure
------------------------
mods
|-- modname
| |-- depends.txt
| |-- init.lua
| |-- textures
| | |-- modname_stuff.png
| | `-- modname_something_else.png
| |-- sounds
| |-- media
| `-- <custom data>
`-- another
modname:
The location of this directory can be fetched by using
minetest.get_modpath(modname)
depends.txt:
List of mods that have to be loaded before loading this mod.
A single line contains a single modname.
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.
minetest.setting_get(name) and minetest.setting_getbool(name) can be used
to read custom or existing settings at load time, if necessary.
textures, sounds, media:
Media files (textures, sounds, whatever) that will be transferred to the
client and will be available for use by the mod.
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: mod "experimental", ideal item/node/entity name "tnt":
-> 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.
Aliases
-------
Aliases can be added by using minetest.register_alias(name, convert_to)
This will make Minetest to convert things called name to things called
convert_to.
This can be used for maintaining backwards compatibility.
This can be also used for setting quick access names for things, eg. if
you have an item called epiclylongmodname:stuff, you could do
minetest.register_alias("stuff", "epiclylongmodname:stuff")
and be able to use "/giveme stuff".
Textures
--------
Mods should generally prefix their textures with modname_, eg. given
the mod name "foomod", a texture could be called
"foomod_foothing.png"
Textures are referred to by their complete name, or alternatively by
stripping out the file extension:
eg. foomod_foothing.png
eg. foomod_foothing
Sounds
-------
Only OGG 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_, eg. 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 on all clients
{
gain = 1.0, -- default
}
-- Play locationless to a player
{
to_player = name,
gain = 1.0, -- default
}
-- Play in a location
{
pos = {x=1,y=2,z=3},
gain = 1.0, -- default
max_hear_distance = 32, -- default
}
-- Play connected to an object, looped
{
object = <an ObjectRef>,
gain = 1.0, -- default
max_hear_distance = 32, -- default
loop = true, -- only sounds connected to objects can be looped
}
Representations of simple things
--------------------------------
MapNode representation:
{name="name", param1=num, param2=num}
MapNodes do not directly have any other data associated with them.
If you want to access the definition of the node, you access
minetest.registered_nodes[node.name]
param1 and param2 are 8 bit and 4 bit integers, respectively. They
are reserved for certain automated functions. If you don't use these
functions, you can use them to store arbitrary values.
param1 is reserved for the engine when:
paramtype != "none"
param2 is reserved for the engine when any of these are used:
liquidtype == "flowing"
drawtype == "flowingliquid"
drawtype == "torchlike"
drawtype == "signlike"
Position/vector:
{x=num, y=num, z=num}
Currently the API does not provide any helper functions for addition,
subtraction and whatever; you can define those that you need yourself.
stackstring/itemstring: A stack of items in serialized format.
eg. 'default:dirt 5'
eg. 'default:pick_wood 21323'
eg. 'default:apple'
item: A stack of items in Lua table format.
eg. {name="default:dirt", count=5, wear=0, metadata=""}
^ 5 dirt nodes
eg. {name="default:pick_wood", count=1, wear=21323, metadata=""}
^ a wooden pick about 1/3 weared out
eg. {name="default:apple", count=1, wear=0, metadata=""}
^ an apple.
Any time an item must be passed to a function, it can be an
ItemStack (see below), an itemstring or a table in the above format.
SimpleSoundSpec:
eg. ""
eg. "default_place_node"
eg. {}
eg. {name="default_place_node"}
eg. {name="default_place_node", gain=1.0}
Items
------
Node (register_node):
A node from the world
Tool (register_tool):
A tool/weapon that can dig and damage things according to tool_capabilities
Craftitem (register_craftitem):
A miscellaneous item
Groups
-------
In a number of places, there is a group table. Groups define the
properties of a thing (item, node, armor of entity, capabilities of
tool) in such a way that the engine and other mods can can interact with
the thing without actually knowing what the thing is.
Usage:
- Groups are stored in a table, having the group names with keys and the
group ratings as values. For example:
groups = {crumbly=3, soil=1}
^ Default dirt (soil group actually currently not defined; TODO)
groups = {crumbly=2, soil=1, level=2, outerspace=1}
^ A more special dirt-kind of thing
- Groups always have a rating associated with them. If there is no
useful meaning for a rating for an enabled group, it shall be 1.
- When not defined, the rating of a group defaults to 0. Thus when you
read groups, you must interpret nil and 0 as the same value, 0.
Groups of items
----------------
Groups of items can define what kind of an item it is (eg. wool).
Groups of nodes
----------------
In addition to the general item things, groups are used to define whether
a node is destroyable and how long it takes to destroy by a tool.
Groups of entities
-------------------
For entities, groups are, as of now, used only for calculating damage.
object.get_armor_groups() -> a group-rating table (eg. {fleshy=3})
object.set_armor_groups({level=2, fleshy=2, cracky=2})
Groups of tools
----------------
Groups in tools define which groups of nodes and entities they are
effective towards.
Groups in crafting recipes
---------------------------
- Not implemented yet. (TODO)
- Will probably look like this:
{
output = 'food:meat_soup_raw',
recipe = {
{'group:meat'},
{'group:water'},
{'group:bowl'},
},
preserve = {'group:bowl'},
}
Special groups
---------------
- immortal: Disables the group damage system for an entity
- level: Can be used to give an additional sense of progression in the game.
- A larger level will cause eg. a weapon of a lower level make much less
damage, and get weared out much faster, or not be able to get drops
from destroyed nodes.
- 0 is something that is directly accessible at the start of gameplay
- There is no upper limit
- dig_immediate: (player can always pick up node without tool wear)
- 2: node is removed without tool wear after 0.5 seconds or so
(rail, sign)
- 3: node is removed without tool wear immediately (torch)
Known damage and digging time defining groups
----------------------------------------------
Valid ratings for these are 0, 1, 2 and 3, unless otherwise stated.
- crumbly: dirt, sand
- cracky: tough but crackable stuff like stone.
- snappy: something that can be cut using fine tools; eg. leaves, small
plants, wire, sheets of metal
- choppy: something that can be cut using force; eg. trees, wooden planks
- fleshy: Living things like animals and the player. This could imply
some blood effects when hitting.
- explody: Especially prone to explosions
- oddly_breakable_by_hand:
Can be added to nodes that shouldn't logically be breakable by the
hand but are. Somewhat similar to dig_immediate, but times are more
like {[1]=3.50,[2]=2.00,[3]=0.70} and this does not override the
speed of a tool if the tool can dig at a larger speed than this
suggests for the hand.
Examples of custom groups
--------------------------
Item groups are often used for defining, well, //groups of items//.
- meat: any meat-kind of a thing (rating might define the size or healing
ability or be irrelevant - it is not defined as of yet)
- eatable: anything that can be eaten. Rating might define HP gain in half
hearts.
- flammable: can be set on fire. Rating might define the intensity of the
fire, affecting eg. the speed of the spreading of an open fire.
- wool: any wool (any origin, any color)
- metal: any metal
- weapon: any weapon
- heavy: anything considerably heavy
Digging time calculation specifics
-----------------------------------
Groups such as **crumbly**, **cracky** and **snappy** are used for this
purpose. Rating is 1, 2 or 3. A higher rating for such a group implies
faster digging time.
The **level** group is used to limit the toughness of nodes a tool can dig
and to scale the digging times / damage to a greater extent.
^ PLEASE DO UNDERSTAND THIS, otherwise you cannot use the system to it's
full potential.
Tools define their properties by a list of parameters for groups. They
cannot dig other groups; thus it is important to use a standard bunch of
groups to enable interaction with tools.
**Tools define:**
* Full punch interval
* Maximum drop level
* For an arbitrary list of groups:
* Uses (until the tool breaks)
* Maximum level (usually 0, 1, 2 or 3)
* Digging times
**Full punch interval**:
When used as a weapon, the tool will do full damage if this time is spent
between punches. If eg. half the time is spent, the tool will do half
damage.
**Maximum drop level**
Suggests the maximum level of node, when dug with the tool, that will drop
it's useful item. (eg. iron ore to drop a lump of iron).
- This is not automated; it is the responsibility of the node definition
to implement this
**Uses**
Determines how many uses the tool has when it is used for digging a node,
of this group, of the maximum level. For lower leveled nodes, the use count
is multiplied by 3^leveldiff.
- uses=10, leveldiff=0 -> actual_uses=10
- uses=10, leveldiff=1 -> actual_uses=30
- uses=10, leveldiff=2 -> actual_uses=90
**Maximum level**
Tells what is the maximum level of a node of this group that the tool will
be able to dig.
**Digging times**
List of digging times for different ratings of the group, for nodes of the
maximum level.
* For example, as a lua table, ''times={2=2.00, 3=0.70}''. This would
result the tool to be able to dig nodes that have a rating of 2 or 3
for this group, and unable to dig the rating 1, which is the toughest.
Unless there is a matching group that enables digging otherwise.
* For entities, damage equals the amount of nodes dug in the time spent
between hits, with a maximum time of ''full_punch_interval''.
Example definition of the capabilities of a tool
-------------------------------------------------
tool_capabilities = {
full_punch_interval=1.5,
max_drop_level=1,
groupcaps={
crumbly={maxlevel=2, uses=20, times={[1]=1.60, [2]=1.20, [3]=0.80}}
}
}
This makes the tool be able to dig nodes that fullfill both of these:
- Have the **crumbly** group
- Have a **level** group less or equal to 2
Table of resulting digging times:
crumbly 0 1 2 3 4 <- level
-> 0 - - - - -
1 0.80 1.60 1.60 - -
2 0.60 1.20 1.20 - -
3 0.40 0.80 0.80 - -
level diff: 2 1 0 -1 -2
Table of resulting tool uses:
-> 0 - - - - -
1 180 60 20 - -
2 180 60 20 - -
3 180 60 20 - -
Notes:
- At crumbly=0, the node is not diggable.
- At crumbly=3, the level difference digging time divider kicks in and makes
easy nodes to be quickly breakable.
- At level > 2, the node is not diggable, because it's level > maxlevel
Entity damage mechanism
------------------------
Damage calculation:
- Take the time spent after the last hit
- Limit time to full_punch_interval
- Take the damage groups, assume a node has them
- Damage in HP is the amount of nodes destroyed in this time.
Client predicts damage based on damage groups. Because of this, it is able to
give an immediate response when an entity is damaged or dies; the response is
pre-defined somehow (eg. by defining a sprite animation) (not implemented;
TODO).
- Currently a smoke puff will appear when an entity dies.
The group **immortal** will completely disable normal damage.
Entities can define a special armor group, which is **punch_operable**. This
group will disable the regular damage mechanism for players punching it by hand
or a non-tool item.
On the Lua side, every punch calls ''entity:on_punch(puncher,
time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, direction)''. This should never be
called directly, because damage is usually not handled by the entity itself.
* ''puncher'' is the object performing the punch. Can be nil. Should never be
accessed unless absolutely required.
* ''time_from_last_punch'' is time from last punch (by puncher) or nil.
* ''tool_capabilities'' can be nil.
* ''direction'' is a unit vector, pointing from the source of the punch to
the punched object.
To punch an entity/object in Lua, call ''object:punch(puncher, time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, direction)''.
* Return value is tool wear.
* Parameters are equal to the above callback.
* If ''direction'' is nil and ''puncher'' is not nil, ''direction'' will be
automatically filled in based on the location of ''puncher''.

(max - min) must be 32767 or <= 6553 due to the simple
implementation making bad distribution otherwise.
Registered entities
--------------------
- Functions receive a "luaentity" as self:
- It has the member .name, which is the registered name ("mod:thing")
- It has the member .object, which is an ObjectRef pointing to the object
- The original prototype stuff is visible directly via a metatable
- Callbacks:
- on_activate(self, staticdata)
^ Called when the object is instantiated.
- on_step(self, dtime)
^ Called on every server tick (dtime is usually 0.05 seconds)
- on_punch(self, puncher, time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, dir)
^ Called when somebody punches the object.
^ Note that you probably want to handle most punches using the
automatic armor group system.
^ puncher: ObjectRef (can be nil)
^ time_from_last_punch: Meant for disallowing spamming of clicks (can be nil)
^ tool_capabilities: capability table of used tool (can be nil)
^ dir: unit vector of direction of punch. Always defined. Points from
the puncher to the punched.
- on_rightclick(self, clicker)
- get_staticdata(self)
^ Should return a string that will be passed to on_activate when
the object is instantiated the next time.
