Subject: Initialize facedir and wallmounted tables only once.
X-Git-Tag: 0.4.14~273
X-Git-Url: https://git.librecmc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=13dd7959dbb62ca9327062181d7c4f04b469c38c;p=oweals%2Fminetest.git

Initialize facedir and wallmounted tables only once.

This makes the functions a bit faster since they don't
have to recreate the tables every invocation, and makes
the code more readable.

Also, document `wallmounted_to_dir`.

The function was implemented but not documented in `lua_api.txt`.
