I've got a question for whomever did those changes to the forum, I don't remember who it was.

What did you do to make it responsive? I.e what do I have to do to make my (standard mybb theme based) theme responsive?

I believe it was @Mathias: https://forum.cuberite.org/thread-434-po...l#pid26045

Should cMonster:StringToMobType return only a number or is there a missing return value in the api doc?

Code:

print(cMonster:StringToMobType("creeper"))
50      creeper  -- result
50  -- expected

That's a general problem with ToLua++, whenever there's an API function that takes a "const AString &" parameter, ToLua++ generates bindings that return the string parameter as an extra return value. The proper way to fix it is to export the function manually.

Valgrind doesn't like cuberite

Code:

==3093== More than 10000000 total errors detected.  I'm not reporting any more.
==3093== Final error counts will be inaccurate.  Go fix your program!
==3093== Rerun with --error-limit=no to disable this cutoff.  Note
==3093== that errors may occur in your program without prior warning from
==3093== Valgrind, because errors are no longer being displayed.

Wanted to combine my plugin APIFuzzing with valgrind, but with that many errors already reported... 
Testing clang now 

Edit: Did only a basic run, maybe I need to add flags and use a config file, hehe

I used to be able to run Cuberite with Valgrind's MemCheck tool (Server/vg) and HelGrind tool (Server/hg) rather normally.

Tested it with the file and it gather's all the errors into groups in the log file. I see there still over 10.000.000 errors, but now I can see better, if there is a error from my functions calls.

Found a much better one https://github.com/DynamoRIO/drmemory/

Shows 1 leak on shutdown on normal run.

Code:

Want to create a thread and publish my plugin APIFuzzing 
Is the section "Plugin Releases" a good place for it? Because it's a plugin for developer and not for player

[xoft]

How about the general Development section? I think it might be even worth moving that plugin to the Cuberite repo on GitHub
