flyc0r 2551ddbf1d Add changes from waspsaliva initial commit

This commit contains changes best credited to flyc0r
<flyc0r@localhost.localdomain>, although the changes were separated
out from waspsaliva's original initial commit rev. 0e9e1f352, which
added the files from DFC work tree, and squashed in numerous additions
by flyc0r and collaborators.  That commit log:

    commit 0e9e1f3528c3d2fa1f1e9a79d4a00576be8552f5
    Author: flyc0r <flyc0r@localhost.localdomain>
    Date:   Sun Oct 4 03:37:08 2020 +0200

        init

This rebase had the effect of griefing the git history xD, so
for example `git blame` of DFC and even upstream Minetest sources
appear to be originally authored by `flyc0r` in that commit.

To fix this, I will recommit only the changes onto the appropriate
commit in DFC, and recreate the following git history (incl. merges).
After this, the git history will be at least visually the same as the
original Waspsaliva, even if commit sha1sums have changed.

AFAICT, the closest commit from DFC was af085acbd.  That commit was
found simply by running `git diff wsc-master <some_DFC_rev>`, and
locating the commit with the smallest number of differences.

This commit was then created as follows:

    # Check out the DFC base commit
    git checkout af085acbd
    # Check out the *files* from WSC's initial commit
    git checkout 0e9e1f352 -- .
    # Make sure everything is added and commit the changes
    git add -A
    git commit

CSM DTE

Client Side Mod Designing & Testing Environment

An advanced, ingame lua and formspec editor for minetest.

This can be used for creating, testing and using CSMs without reloading the game, and without the game crashing. This is also the easiest way to create advanced formspecs. It was tested with multiple CSMs from the minetest forums, and they all worked. (actually in the current version, a few things might not work, but they will be fixed in the future)

CSMs can be created, or pasted in, and they should work the same as they would normaly, except errors won't crash the game!

functions that are registered with minetest can be put in a function safe(func) to output errors to the UI when minetest calls them

scripts can be put in startup to run them automatically when the game loads. errors are also put in the UI

FEATURES:

lua editor:

print function
coloured error output
multiple files
file creation and deletion
safe function execution
automatically run files at startup

formspec editor:

every widget is available
widgets are easy to edit
formspec preview, shows what it will look like
export as a function with parameters
export as a string
and a whole bunch of fancy stuff

To Use:

use the command .dte to open the editor
select the lua editor tab to run and edit CSMs
select the formspec editor tab to create a formspec
select the files tab to open, create, and delete files
select the startup tab to select lua files to run when the game loads

How to install

make sure you have client modding enabled (search for client modding in advanced settings, and set it to true)
download and extract the zip file into clientmods\csm_dte or paste the init.lua file into it.
add load_mod_csm_dte = true to the clientmods\mods.conf file
join a game or server, and it should work!

Editing the files

- if you do not wan't to edit the program, the `development` folder can be deleted!

when editing the program, it is easier to edit the smaller files found inside the development folder. these can be run as seperate CSMs for testing (I recomend disabling csm_dte) to join the together, copy the lua editor into csm_dte/init.lua and copy the formspec editor (from EDITOR START to EDITOR END) into the "PASTE FORMSPEC EDITOR HERE" section

TODO:

make all functions work after the game has been loaded
add a UI to unregister functions which were registered from a program
add a lua console
import ui strings into the editor (?)
