16:27 Traxie21 Quick question
16:28 Traxie21 Are all default lua functions written in the C++ engine?
16:28 Traxie21 Or is it possible to copy/modify a default function
16:28 Traxie21 with lua
16:28 PilzAdam depends on the functions
16:28 PilzAdam some are defined in builtin/ (Lua), others are defined in scriptapi.cpp
16:29 Traxie21 ok.
16:29 Traxie21 Let me go check
16:31 Traxie21 minetest.setting.set
16:32 Traxie21 It would be nice to right configuration values to files other than minetest.conf
16:32 Traxie21 *write
16:32 PilzAdam the API doesnt have functions for that, but you can use the io functions of Lua
16:33 Traxie21 Right
16:33 Traxie21 Have you ever administered a Bukkit server?
16:34 PilzAdam no
16:34 Traxie21 I want to do something like the YAML files that can be edited both by hand and by commands
16:34 Traxie21 the problem with what I know about file.io is that it's hard to read in english
16:34 Traxie21 I obviously don't know much
16:34 PilzAdam ummm
16:35 PilzAdam you can write everything into files
16:35 PilzAdam you can make it readable
16:38 Traxie21 Alright. It's time for me to be a big girl and not ask for code, gonna go look it up
16:44 Traxie21 Ahh
16:44 Traxie21 Feels great to have minetest start without errors when I wrote a piece of code without copying it :3
16:50 Traxie21 PilzAdam: Thanks a heap for all your help, I know I have trouble understanding instructions, your patience means a lot ot me. Sorry if I seem like pest, I talk too much.
20:14 Traxie21 quick question
20:15 Traxie21 how does one find the current modpath if the file they are using is not init.lua?
20:15 Jordach  minetest.get_modpath
20:15 Traxie21 returns nil
20:16 Traxie21 im running it inside here though:  /mods/minetest/[modname]/[folder]/lua.lua
20:19 Traxie21 nvm
