Some mods like RealTerrain need to manipulate images. The modders have to put a Lua library inside of the mod, and call minetest.require_insecure_environment, or implement a method for reading the bytes of the file. In both cases that's very hacky and buggy. So I think we need a proper imaging library.
Considering what MT's core does, I'm sure that it uses an image library, even if I've not read the code. Is that possible to share these functions with Lua ? The C++ can give many functions to the Lua environment. Why not providing the core's image library (or some C++ functions made from this library) ?

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

Image manipulation library for Lua
Very busy this year too, so do not expect me to be very active on the forum or in game. But I'm not about to drop Minetest forever :)
