Here's a summary of what I've been up to in the Luanti world since the last time.

• Mod list_to_file updates

  I have a branch of my own mod list_to_file, that adds in features from other mods. I needed only certain features, and sometimes with my own modifications. Branch dev/add_list_items_to_file adds some of those.

  And I tried adding an all-lua implementation to generate a colors.txt for projects minetest-mapper and mapserver. It technically works, as long as you ignore certain images like aspen leaves and everything from mod streets. See my branch. I was hoping to get an all-lua png implementation (from MIT-licensed gim913/pngLua: A pure lua implementation of a PNG decoder) so we didn't need the generate_colorstxt.py separate utility. But I suppose since setting up a map server is a complex topic, a passing familiarity with server-side tasks is already required, so running a python script would be easy.

  I also updated branch add_list_items_to_file (which is really main branch now) to add commands /whatispointed and /clonepointed.

• Sent pull requests to mod sickles from my code

  • fix sickle-collected items so they can grow too by bgstack15 · Pull Request #10 · t-affeldt/sickles
  • Add compatibility for mineclonia by bgstack15 · Pull Request #11 · t-affeldt/sickles
  • I even sent it to a fork! fix sickle-collected items so they can grow too (!1) · Merge requests · validandloved / Sickles · GitLab

  I was so excited to add scythes to Mineclonia. I realize it takes the game away from the vanilla feeling, but scythes and sickles are such a good idea, and it was also good practice (and fun) to adapt a mod across a second game in Luanti!

• Added applesauce to mod mcl_morefood for myself. I didn't submit a merge request because it's small and was at the request of my own users.

• I forked project serverlist that powers the public instance for myself. Read about it on that post.

• Added mineclonia signs (mcl_signs) support to mapserver!
