Mod Documentation

I think that all mods should contain it's own documentation inside the mod. Like html files and pictures.
Then add a feature in the game which allows the player to view a list of all the mods installed which allows the player to select a mod and open it's documentation inside the game. That way, instead of having to check a server's website or forum page and then look up all the mods it uses, the player can find all the information they need in one location all while playing the game and not having to open a browser and switch back and forth from the game and the browser.

Then... do it? 8)
Ingame mod documentation would be great, yeah, but it's (probably) hard to code.

NAH!
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
- Code: Select all
minetest.register_on_chat_message(function(name, message, playername, player)
local cmd = "/modhelp"
if message:sub(0, #cmd) == cmd then
if message == '"/modhelp' then
local player = minetest.env:get_player_by_name(name)
minetest.chat_send_player(player:get_player_name(), "put your documentation on your mods commands/abilities/features here \n -BLAH \n BLAH \n BLAH")
return true
end
end
end)

That modhelp command should probably have sub-sections:
- /modhelp moreores items > would print info about items for "moreores" (if there is an "items" category).
- /modhelp moreblocks > prints all categories of help for "moreblocks".

Yes that would be very good!

what about:
/modlist for showing a complete list of all mods you have installed.
