Introduction
-------------
+
The main menu is defined as a formspec by Lua in builtin/mainmenu/
Description of formspec language to show your menu is in lua_api.txt
+
Callbacks
---------
+
core.buttonhandler(fields): called when a button is pressed.
^ fields = {name1 = value1, name2 = value2, ...}
core.event_handler(event)
^ event: "MenuQuit", "KeyEnter", "ExitButton" or "EditBoxEnter"
+
Gamedata
--------
+
The "gamedata" table is read when calling core.start(). It should contain:
{
- playername = <name>,
- password = <password>,
- address = <IP/adress>,
- port = <port>,
- selected_world = <index>, -- 0 for client mode
- singleplayer = <true/false>,
+ playername = <name>,
+ password = <password>,
+ address = <IP/adress>,
+ port = <port>,
+ selected_world = <index>, -- 0 for client mode
+ singleplayer = <true/false>,
}
+

+HTTP Requests
+-------------
+
+* core.download_file(url, target) (possible in async calls)
+ * url to download, and target to store to
+ * returns true/false
+* `minetest.get_http_api()` (possible in async calls)

+ `fetch_async_get` described below.
+ * Function only exists if minetest server was built with cURL support.
+* `HTTPApiTable.fetch_sync(HTTPRequest req)`: returns HTTPRequestResult
+ * Performs given request synchronously
+* `HTTPApiTable.fetch_async(HTTPRequest req)`: returns handle
+ * Performs given request asynchronously and returns handle for
+ `HTTPApiTable.fetch_async_get`

+ * Return response data for given asynchronous HTTP request
+
+### `HTTPRequest` definition

Limitations of Async operations
-No access to global lua variables, don't even try
-Limited set of available functions
- e.g. No access to functions modifying menu like core.start,core.close,
- core.show_path_select_dialog
+ e.g. No access to functions modifying menu like core.start,core.close,
+ core.show_path_select_dialog
+
Background music
----------------
+
The main menu supports background music.
It looks for a `main_menu` sound in `$USER_PATH/sounds`. The same naming
conventions as for normal sounds apply.
