About me

Mudlet user and script developer, hailing from MorgenGrauen (German).

Projects

User:Kebap/documentation-in-wiki - currently on hold
- Standardize layout of Manual:Lua_Functions in Area 51

Establish translation-infrastructure for Mudlet universe
- Create PR to clean up feedback from Crowdin - see issue 1802
- Improve documentation for translators
  - How to translate plural forms in crowdin
- Improve documentation for developers
  - How to handle special characters at start or end of translateable text

Learn how to write working i18n style code for English hacks like "next %n time(s)"
- QT documentation thereof: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/i18n-source-translation.html#handling-plurals

New structure for wiki manual

Graphical overview of Release dates

Add MorgenGrauen to Mudlet MUDs
- review recommendations from Listing_Your_MUD

~~Enable Discord group "Testers" to (de-)register themselves via Discord reactions~~ done! :)

Create PR to clean up texts in source - see github issue 1801

~~Learn how to make small PR like above with Smart Git instead of github web interface~~ done! :)

Me with a few buddies

Improve Mudlet documentation, which is not interesting for Mudlet users, but only for (some) developers.
- Including definitions on internal functions,
- discussions and decisions on coding style conventions,
- standard procedures like Release Checklist, update lua function list for autocompletion,
- This is done by adding Categories like "Mudlet Developer Manual" or "Mudlet Admin Manual"
- etc.

Look into improving a11y (accessibility) of Mudlet client and website, etc.

Learn more git commands

Examples for formatting

API documentation

Examples and description moved to Area 51 plus template linked from there

Standardized error messages in code

Old style, not very informative:

    if (!lua_isnumber(L, 1)) {
        lua_pushstring(L, "createMapLabel: wrong argument type");
        return lua_error(L);
    }
    int area = lua_isnumber(L, 1);

New style with additional information:

    if (!lua_isnumber(L, 1)) {
        lua_pushfstring(L,
                "createMapLabel: bad argument #1 type (areaID as number expected, got %s!)",
                luaL_typename(L, 1));
        return lua_error(L);
    }
    int area = lua_tointeger(L, 1);
