Modular Multipurpose Minetest Modding Library
2b1c9cff7c
https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/10100 has introduced a few inconsistencies with the formats of previous texture modifiers: `[fill` is the first texture modifier to have a modifying and a generating variant. Thus `texmod` "constructors" and `texmod` "modifiers" / methods had to be separated; `texmod.fill` is not the same as `tm.fill` where `tm` is `texmod` instance. It is rather dirty that the generating variant would ignore extraneous parameters of the modifying variant, so this is not replicated by the parser. `[hsl`, `[colorizehsl`, `[contrast` and `[screen` are pretty standard texture modifiers as far as the DSL is concerned. `[hsl` and `[colorizehsl` are very similar. `[hardlight` is the first texture modifier to exist just for swapping the base and parameter. `a^[overlay:b` and `b^[hardlight:a` are both normalized to `b:[hardlight:a` by the DSL. `[overlay` (called "overlay blend" in the docs) creates a naming conflict with literal overlaying (`^`). This is resolved by renaming `:overlay` to `:blit`. |

Principles
- Game-agnostic: Modlib aims to provide nothing game-specific;
- Minimal invasiveness: Modlib should not disrupt other mods; even at the expense of syntactic sugar, changes to the global environment - apart from the addition of the modlib scope - are forbidden
- Architecture: Modlib is organized hierarchically
- Performance: Modlib tries to not compromise performance for convenience; modlib loads lazily
Tests
The tests are located in a different repo, modlib_test, as they are quite heavy due to testing the PNG reader using PngSuite. Reading the tests for examples of API usage is recommended.
API
(Incomplete) documentation resides in the doc folder; you'll have to dive into the code for everything else.
The mod namespace is modlib, containing all modules which in turn contain variables & functions.
Modules are lazily loaded by indexing the modlib table. Do _ = modlib.<module> to avoid file load spikes at run time.
Localizing modules (local <module> = modlib.<module>) is recommended.
