Bug with `setting_getbool` and `register_alias_force` when trying to install

alcalyn commented 6 years ago

I tried to install this mod. I first got a bug with setting_getbool. So I looked into https://minetest.org/modbook/lua_api.html#initlua and I hot fixed the bug in this PR.

But I still have another bug that trash at the beginning when starting my server:

Error from Lua:
...u/.minetest/mods/moreblocks/stairsplus/registrations.lua:73: attempt to call field 'register_alias_force' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
    ...u/.minetest/mods/moreblocks/stairsplus/registrations.lua:73: in main chunk
    [C]: in function 'dofile'
    /home/ju/.minetest/mods/moreblocks/stairsplus/init.lua:93: in main chunk
    [C]: in function 'dofile'
    /home/ju/.minetest/mods/moreblocks/init.lua:29: in main chunk
Abandon (core dumped)

When looking into the mod API, it seems that it should works...

I have Minetest 0.4.13

To reproduce it, I just install this mod on a fresh install of Minetest 0.4.13, by git clone in mods/ folder, then set load_mod_moreblocks = true in world.mt

At the moment, this mod works with 0.4.16+ and is not backwards compatible with 0.4.13. Maybe it should be, or maybe there should be a legacy fork. This pull request however, doesn't do either.

oh ok so I'll just get the latest version of Minetest and try again

This mod is newer than your Minetest installation.
