FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hello! This mod adds an API for world-specific settings so that your worlds folder is not filled with 10 or so configuration files that contain only one setting!

This mod is for 0.4.14 because I made it in that version.

Nice for modders!

Ummm, this is something which belongs to core Minetest or builtin.

This is a typical “no-brainer” feature which users/server operators would always want. There is no good reason to not have this feature. Therefore: core feature.

Well, one of the reasons for this mod is because I have a private whitelisted server and I heavily mod it. I found about 10 .conf files that only had 1 or 2 settings. As a bonus, I found it in Nore's personal to-do list and I wanted to test the feature before it was added.

EDIT: Could this be added? and how?

It could be added by changing the core to make it write the settngs in world.mt or world.conf in the worlds folder instead of a general minetest.conf file. also the engine of the game should have a basic minetest.conf only used if no conf is present in the world folder. The subgame should also be able to have his own minetest conf. Like that, a game which gives privs to player at start could override the basic settings of the world.conf.

um what does it really do

What does it do?

example: you want to have a special player property or a particular mapgen for a world, with the actual minetest.conf, this will be modified for every world you create, and if you delete the setting, you will have to reselect it for the special world. With the WWsettings you can add a special feature for every world, every time you play them.
