04:16 khonkhortisan what's CONTENT_IGNORE?
04:18 marktraceur khonkhortisan: Something that isn't rendered
04:18 marktraceur IIRC, used to signify nodes that aren't loaded yet
04:18 khonkhortisan I guess I should register_abms after registering_nodes

19:11 khonkhortisan this can't really be the right syntax? player.get_player_name(player)
19:11 khonkhortisan I have to give it itself in its own function?
19:11 marktraceur khonkhortisan: You're right, that makes very little sense
19:12 khonkhortisan it also doesn't agree with doc/lua_api.txt
19:12 marktraceur lua_api is usually the authority, where are you seeing something different?
19:12 khonkhortisan "- get_player_name(): returns "" if is not a player"
19:13 khonkhortisan line 1002
19:13 khonkhortisan it doesn't mention any arguments
19:13 marktraceur Right, why do you think there's a contradiction? What source gave you player.get_player_name(player)?
19:14 khonkhortisan get_player_name(player) and player.get_player_name() don't work
19:14 marktraceur Answer the question, please.
19:16 khonkhortisan player.get_player_name() gives me "bad argument #1 to 'get_player_name''. get_player_name(player) gives me "attempt to call global 'get_player_name' (a nil value)". player.get_player_name(player) gives me the name of the player.
19:16 marktraceur Answer the question, please.
19:16 khonkhortisan I have no source other than the errors minetest gives me
19:16 marktraceur Then why did you think "player.get_player_name(player)" would work?
19:17 marktraceur Oh, you just tried it?
19:17 marktraceur And it did work?
19:17 khonkhortisan bad argument #1 to 'get_player_name' if I use player.get_player_name()
19:17 marktraceur Hm.
19:17 khonkhortisan so I put in an argument
19:17 marktraceur Try player:get_player_name()
19:18 marktraceur (I'm really not sure how that works, but if it's anything like Python, it might)
19:18 khonkhortisan hey, it works!
19:18 marktraceur Sweeeet
19:18 khonkhortisan Is there something I missed in lua_api?
19:19 marktraceur khonkhortisan: No, probably just "something you have to know"
19:19 marktraceur Which sucks
19:19 marktraceur But now we know for next time, eh? Spread the word.
19:19 khonkhortisan that's very common
19:19 khonkhortisan okay
19:19 marktraceur 'cause knowledge is power!
19:19 * marktraceur jumps and punches the air above him
