Supporting Subtitles in Your Mod

There are two ways a mod can support subtitles.

You can associate a description with a sound name using subtitles.register_description(sound_name, description):

subtitles.register_description('default_dig_metal', S'Metal clangs');

Alternatively, you can specify a description by setting description or subtitle in either the sound spec or the parameters when playing a sound:

minetest.sound_play('default_dig_metal', {gain = 0.5, description = S'Metal clangs'});
minetest.sound_play({name = 'default_dig_metal', description = S'Metal clangs'}, {gain = 0.5});

This also works in node definitions:

minetest.register_node('foomod:foobarium',
{
    description = S'Foobarium';
    sounds =
    {
        dig      = {name = 'default_dig_metal', description = S'Foobarium breaks'};
        footstep = {name = 'default_dig_metal', description = S'Footsteps on foobarium'};
    };
});

You can specify how long to display the subtitle by setting duration on either the spec or the parameters.

You can disable the subtitle for a sound by setting no_subtitle = true on the spec or parameters, or by setting the description to an empty string.
