  • 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"

• Learn more git commands

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);
