Settings prefix about item_drop HOT 3 CLOSED

l think using modname.setting_name looks better than modname_setting_name.

This would break that.

The original mod didn't have settings (except that strange item deletion setting) and doesn't work on current minetest.

I too am positive to this change for the reason you mention. However, I've tried to write the mod as a drop-in replacement of the original. This would break that. But maybe it's time to let go of the past and build the best possible mod according to best practices, of which this issue highlights one.

I'm for it but, and this should go for development of the mod in general, let's create a development or next branch for these additions or feature branches for larger ones, for the time being.

Your settingtypes.txt is one of the few examples I've seen using the xx.yy_zz convention whereas all other mods I've seen uses xx_yy_zz for setting vars. Who's right? :)

What about modname:setting?
