14:23 rubenwardy @theidealist only if your mod loads first
17:02 MTDiscord <theidealist> minetest should have reverse dependencies
17:02 MTDiscord <theidealist> like "the following mods must be loaded after this"
17:06 Krock there's an issue for that, something like "allow games to specify mods to load first or last"
17:07 Krock !title https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8934
17:07 MinetestBot Krock: Support for mod that is loaded before any other mod · Issue #8934 · minetest/minetest · GitHub
17:07 Krock Implemented in 5.9.0-dev
17:25 Desour but you can just choose one mod to be loaded first, afaik.
17:30 Krock yes. loading multiple mods simultaneously isn't possible 8)
17:40 Desour yes, but that's not what I meant, and I'm pretty sure you know that <(`-´)>
17:42 Desour it would be useful if *any* mod could list mods that should be loaded only after it, if they're there (i.e. reverse optional dependencies)
17:43 Krock then you might end up listing all mods in existence to ensure the mod is loaded as soon as possible
18:01 rubenwardy Krock: relevant https://content.minetest.net/packages/SingleDigitIQ/cozylights/
18:01 rubenwardy 749 optional dependencies
18:02 Krock just a few
18:03 Krock I suppose they'd be surprised to learn that """ newline notation also works on "depends"
18:03 Krock optional_depend, respectively.
18:03 rubenwardy that's certainly a long line#
18:03 Krock https://github.com/SingleDigitIQ/cozylights/blob/master/mod.conf
18:03 rubenwardy @SingleDigitIQ why no """"
18:03 Krock wdym only 9940 characters
18:03 Krock triple quotes, not 4.
18:03 MTDiscord <rubenwardy> @single_digit_iq
18:04 Desour minetest conf files have """ multiline string syntax?
18:04 MTDiscord <rubenwardy> yeah
18:04 Krock Desour: welcome to 2013
18:04 Krock maybe even earlier
18:04 Desour huuuuuh
18:06 Krock lua_api.md L8709
18:06 Desour and settings.cpp:1015
18:08 Desour https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/175b7a28e5f82bd6da9f4c3e22ce6493c05f4f09
18:08 Desour !title
18:08 MinetestBot Desour: settings: Add setting groups and multiline entries · minetest/minetest@175b7a2 · GitHub
18:08 Desour nov 2014, not 2013
18:08 Krock sorry
18:08 Desour but still :O
18:09 Desour anyway, mods wanting to be loaded first or last, and mods wanting to be loaded before one or two other mods is a different use-case, I guess
18:23 MTDiscord <luatic> indeed
18:24 rubenwardy Improving our API to avoid load order constraints will reduce the risk of cyclic dependencies
