11:21:58 <Discord|> <12p​atrickm> what even is the typo
11:42:06 <Discord|> <10P​leasingFungus> we'll find out!
11:52:35 <Discord|> <12p​atrickm> suspense!
11:55:34 <advil> I found it
11:55:34 <advil> or at least, I found one type
12:05:47 <Discord|> <10P​leasingFungus> well, whatever you do, don’t touch it!
12:09:31 <gammafunk> I'm going to correct it just before neil pushes the commit, live during his class
12:12:57 <advil> *typo
12:23:33 <spicycebolla> make unrelated changes to the same line while the PR is unmerged
12:24:33 <spicycebolla> oh and fiddle with all the whitespace

18:47:23 <Aliscans_> Hi. Is there a way to convert a string to a boolean in Lua within Crawl?
18:47:27 <Aliscans_> I tried just setting an option 'foobar=false', but the lua console says that both "options.foobar" and "not options.foobar" are False.
19:38:56 <advil> what option is it?
19:39:40 <advil> also how exactly are you setting it?
19:48:24 <Aliscans_> I just started crawl with -extra-opt-first foobar=false.
19:49:20 <advil> which option though?
19:49:28 <Aliscans_> foobar
19:49:33 <advil> oh literally
19:49:38 <advil> heh
19:50:31 <Aliscans_> I'd use a more descriptive name if I could get it to work as a boolean.
19:55:06 <advil> I'm not sure that there's any way to do that from the command line for an option that does not have a type in initfile.cc
19:55:17 <advil> tbh I didn't even know you could do this with options that are not defined
19:56:38 <advil> if this is aimed at lua code in an rc file or the like, you can simply compare it to a designated string value though
19:56:56 <advil> e.g. `options.foobar == "false"` evaluates to true in that scenario
20:02:05 <Aliscans_> Thanks, that's an idea. There seem to be a few implementations of more general string=>boolean functions for Lua around, so it doesn't seem to be something the language provides itself.

20:56:16 <advil> Aliscans_ in lua to convert a string to bool you usually just compare with the empty string, but the problem here is really that anything passed on the command line that way is interpreted as a string unless the game knows otherwise (i.e. by it having a type set in initfile.cc)
20:57:48 <advil> an option that isn't set at all shows up in `options` as nil, and strings always evaluate to true, so you could treat it having any value at all as being set
21:00:46 <Aliscans_> I've actually done it as a function which returns something like "string.lower(value) == "true" or ...", to give an approximation of Crawl's usual boolean parsing.
