Added Event object: -- creating Event definition eventDef = { name = "My special event", eventLabel = "Handler object for my special event", -- this is ignored by the lean version, -- and can be omitted in full version (taken as "") code = function() echo("My speci...

I realized that I needed Event objects as well, so added it. Added Stopwatch for good measure, but not all of Mudlet API fits within the OO object structure (more comments in a second). Also improved on some logic details (a bit more assert()). Included both the debug and the lean version. Lean vers...

This was touched upon in another thread, which is why I ended up here. My first reaction to the suggestion that start of line/exact match is faster than regex was "Yeah, makes sense". But I am now wondering it's a bit more nuanced than that. Some second thoughts: 1) The basic algorithmic s...

I find object-oriented syntax to be oftentimes more readable, but the reason I ended up making this package is much more practical. When creating "temporary", i.e. dynamic Mudlet triggers and timers I found it very annoying that they keep hanging around even when I do not need them. I was ...

@demonnic Appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this. I am not discouraged in the least that this apparently was already discussed many times. I am not trying to drive Mudlet into certain direction. Presently, I can code anything I like as a require() library, and use it just fine, since I am not ...

.mpackage/.xml vs require() As I mentioned earlier, currently require() makes more sense to me as means for inclusion of the shared code. I do not think it's a radical notion, since require() was put in place by Lua developers specifically for code sharing and library creation. I am listing some ad...

> Deletion is necessary if the file is conflicting with another one, for example - or if the package was uninstalled. In case of de-installation of a package that uses a shared library, I think it's fine to leave shared library in place by default. I do not see a problem with that. Not sure what you...

>> Otherwise we could have been piggybacking off luarocks repository to distribute Mudlet shared code. >I don't think so - have you tried to install LuaRocks on Windows? You got me, I have no idea how easy/hard it is to use luarocks under Windows. Sounds like it's a pain. >> For Lua files it would m...

For sure, one can use require(). Just the other day I have installed a shared Lua library using luarocks, and there was zero problem using that library from within Mudlet using require(). That wasn't Mudlet specific code, just a general use library from luarocks. However, it doesn't seem like the be...

I thought some more about this, and I am somewhat amused that I realize this quite late into this discussion, that the things that make me unsure about using Mudlet module feature and Lua require feature are pretty much the same. It's the lack of convention on the location for these common library c...
