Minetest Mod: allows players to send email like messages to each other.

Hi, I'm rubenwardy 👋

I’m a graduate from the University of Bristol and a core developer for Minetest, an open source voxel game engine.

I have a diverse range of interests, both technical and non-technical. Examples include full-stack development, game dev, and Android development. I've recently been spending a lot of time learning how to cook new things 🍝🔥.

Note that I mostly use GitLab these days.

Make sure to take a look at my website, blog, or Mastodon!

email's Issues

Add group mail facility

Request from co-administrator

It would be really handy to have the possibility to send group mails. I feel this should only be available to basic_privs holders - unless you prefer to create a specific priv for this, which is probably the WTG.

Not quite sure how to do this - it probably requires the ability to create mail groups, so the command would be something like /group_mail <mailgroup> <msg> and some way of administering the groups - a subcommand would be cleanest, so /group_mail add|remove <mailgroup> <playername> or whatever syntax you prefer.

Put icon in less annoying place

This seems to clear most of the other screen furniture on PC and android. It needs a bit of fine tuning. Didn't bother with a PR as this seems so trivial.

function email.update_hud(player)
    local name = player:get_player_name()
    local inbox = email.get_inbox(name)

    if inbox and #inbox > 0 then
        if email.hud:exists(player, "email:text") then
            email.hud:change(player, "email:text", "text", #inbox .. " /inbox")
        else
            email.hud:add(player, "email:icon", {
                hud_elem_type = "image",
                name = "MailIcon",
                position = {x=0.49, y=0.83},
                text="email_mail.png",
                scale = {x=1,y=1},
                alignment = {x=0.5, y=0.5},
            })

            email.hud:add(player, "email:text", {
                hud_elem_type = "text",
                name = "MailText",
                position = {x=0.48, y=0.85},
                text= #inbox .. " /inbox",
                scale = {x=1,y=1},
                alignment = {x=0.5, y=0.5},
            })
        end
    else
        email.hud:remove(player, "email:icon")
        email.hud:remove(player, "email:text")
    end
end
