03:22 LazyJ       Which version of lua does Minetest work best with, 5.1 or 5.2 or does it matter?
03:23 * LazyJ     breaks the long silence of the channel ;)-
03:23 ShadowNinja LazyJ: Only 5.1 is supported.  Although LuaJIT has a number of 5.2 features.
03:24 LazyJ       Ok, thanks, ShadowNinja ;)
03:24 ShadowNinja Minetest actually includes and exclusively uses (when LuaJIT isn't available)na copy of Lua 5.1.
03:24 ShadowNinja s/)na/) a/
03:24 ShadowNinja YW.
03:25 LazyJ       Does LuaJit help or get in the way?
03:26 LazyJ       ... if both 5.1, 5.2, and LuaJit are available on the system.
03:26 LazyJ       Do they step on each others toes?
03:26 LazyJ       Really high-tech terms, I know but I'm a layman.
03:40 LazyJ       I've seen that type of phrasing in chat before: "<ShadowNinja> s/)na/) a/". What does that mean?
03:41 LazyJ       I'm still learning chat shorthand.
03:41 LazyJ       Since I don't "text" I'll probably always be behind the curve on that subject. :p
19:33 asie        i just had a glorious idea
19:33 asie        advanced_player_textures, hooks into a database of available skins and lets you pick one
19:33 asie        as in with a GUI
19:35 Zefram_Fysh well volunteered!
19:44 CiaranG     asie: already exists
19:48 ShadowNinja !tell LazyJ Minetest ignores system-wide installations of Lua.  And it uses only system-wide installations of LuaJIT.  s/foo/bar/ means "replace the first occurance of 'foo' with'bar'".  Putting a g after it means to replace all ocurances.
19:48 ShadowBot   ShadowNinja: O.K.
