Hello, wonderful people (and bots) of the Luanti community<br><br>Since hosting 49 luati servers, a Discord server, a Let's Play channel, working as an administrator at a Berlin university, and doom-scrolling on YouTube aren't keeping me busy enough, I've decided to create and moderate an official YouTube channel for Luanti.<br><br>Of course, I need videos for this!<br><br>What kind of videos? ... Trailers!<br><br>Please send me (in this thread) links to your(!) copyleft(!) videos so that I can re-upload them to this channel, or send me the videos via mega.nz, for example.<br><br>We (hopefully a few moderators here and c55 in particular) will then decide by majority vote whether the videos should be made public or not!<br><br>So, what's important:<br>- Video link to the video (or to mega.nz, then I'll upload the video as “unlisted” for now and share the link here.)<br>- Content (subgame, mod, server, Luanti itself and its features)<br>- License (very important!)<br>- Video title (well... usually just the name of the mod, feature, server, or something like that)<br>- Video description for YouTube (author, important information, license)<br><br>The videos can be landscape or portrait format, should not be much longer than a minute (trailer!), and should also be viewable mute.<br><br>What videos are NOT meant:<br>- Explanatory videos (where you talk about a mod or a server for hours)<br>- Entire letsplays/letsshows (much too long as trailers)<br>- Videos like my own LetsPlay videos (who the hell uploads uncut 30-minute videos and calls that “content” !?)<br><br>What I have in mind (just as an idea):<br>- Short, snappy videos with a soundtrack as background music (license!)<br>- A few short texts as text overlays (can also be voiced over, but in such a way that you don't HAVE to listen to the videos with sound to understand what they're about)<br>- Exciting editing (we want to excite people, not bore them away!)<br><br>It doesn't matter if you already have videos that fit here or if you make new ones (which would be awesome, of course)... the main thing is that they are good, short, crisp, and exciting... just like a trailer!<br><br>Link to the YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Luanti-org" class="postlink" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@Luanti-org</a><p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="https://forum.luanti.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=21985">Walker</a> — Thu Jan 29, 2026 04:40</p><hr />

@sfan5: The first thing I did was to verify that nothing has been commented out and that the settings had not been tweaked by mistake.

The "race condition" here is that any other mod could be doing the same ore registration trick in <span style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font:0.9em Monaco,'Andale Mono','Courier New',Courier,mono;border:1px solid #d8d8d8">register_on_mods_loaded</span> and you can't really ensure that your mod is the last one.<br><br>This is relevant for the functioning of your idea generally, but not the problem you described, since you're printing the ores right after registering them (nothing else can happen by then).<br>Did you check that you're not accidentally excluding too many ores in your code?

Did you try printing the tables just before registration?<br><br>BTW: The engine indeed places ores in the order of registration, but I don't think this is formally guaranteed anywhere.<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="https://forum.luanti.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=239">sfan5</a> — Wed Jan 28, 2026 13:43</p><hr />

Forgive my previous post, I<br><br>(1) Forgot there is no way to unregister ores - I was going to suggest unregistering a mod's ores after it loads in each submodule in your pack<br>(2) Forgot that you can actually still register ores in the on mods loaded callback<br><br>..which I remember now after revisiting <a href="https://forum.luanti.org/viewtopic.php?t=31331" class="postlink" rel="nofollow">"Changing registered ores after load-time"</a>. Now, the author of that thread was writing a Lua mapgen anyway, so that was the solution in that case. I'm afraid I have no ideas at present for this thread.<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="https://forum.luanti.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=24958">Blockhead</a> — Wed Jan 28, 2026 13:39</p><hr />

Alright now I'm really confused. I've read the thread you posted, and the only meaningful thing I got from it (in this situation) is that register_on_mods_loaded() "creates a terrible race condition", which I'm sure I could understand if I really thought about how or why that might happen. In this case though, I'm not facing a dependency issue in the conventional sense. Rather I'm simply trying to ensure a stratum ore is placed in the world before a bunch of clusters that are otherwise placed in default stone just like that stratum. Otherwise the stratum will just replace the surrounding default stone wherever those clusters appear (as it does with my current "working" version of things).<br><br>I had no reason to believe that changing the order in which the ores are registered would make any difference since I don't know how the engine is processing the list of ores, but with the Simple X-Ray mod I can see huge voids where the strata have been placed before other ores, which tells me something is working as I had hoped with that new init.lua file. I really can't see how this would be an example of a race condition unless I understand what happens just before and after core.register_on_mods_loaded() is actually called, though I suppose it might explain why only some ores are registered while others in the same file are not.<br><br>I cannot imagine how splitting the mod into mod packs would solve this issue since it would actually reinforce the requirement that those other ores be registered before the stones in which they should not appear... The only solution I can think of is to just add supported mods as optional dependencies, remove the register_on_mods_loaded callback and leave everything else as it is, then add new files to the "Support" section to re-register any ores which would be supported. I know this works because that's what I was doing before I figured out how to copy the ores table before clearing it. It's a terrible solution though because it only works for mods which are listed as optional dependencies and leads to otherwise needless code copying...<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="https://forum.luanti.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=49614">rg19</a> — Wed Jan 28, 2026 11:05</p><hr />
