Mod Configuration Reader (modconf) mod for Minetest

---

Description:

A Minetest mod that reads data from mod.conf & settingtypes.txt files.

NOTE: This mod is a work-in-progress but is functional. Currently, in order to use modconf.getModMetaData, key-value instances in mod.conf must be delimited by an equals symbol with one whitespace on both sides (e.g. " = "). In the future, trimming out whitespace will be done automatically.

---

Example Usage:

depends.txt:

modconf?

init.lua (read mod.conf file using modconf.getModMetaData):

-- Main global object table
mymod = {}

-- Create settings object from core function
if minetest.global_exists('modconf') then
	modconf.getModMetaData(mymod)
end

-- Alternatively can be called in this manner
mymod = modconf.getModMetaData()

minetest.log('action', 'Loading ' .. mymod.name .. ' version ' .. mymod.version)

init.lua (reading settingtypes.txt file with modconf.getModDefaults):

-- Table object to read fields into
local defaults = {}

-- Read fields into table from 'settingtypes.txt'
if minetest.get_modpath('modconf') then
    modconf.getModDefaults(defaults)
end

-- Alternatively can be called in this manner
local defaults = modconf.getModDefaults()
