Linedef/sidedef text concatenation isn't working properly

Accessing the text field in line_t userdata is consistently returning nil, while doing the same for side_t userdata returns 0 instead, regardless of what is written across the texture fields. This seems to be an issue in next builds as well.

IIRC text is only used by certain linedef types?

MI has it, it's not automatic, support for it has to be added for that linedef type.

I see, I guess was under the impression all of them used the text since it's how the wiki describes the field. But now that you mention it, why is that not available for every linedef type?

It's really just to avoid unnecessary work in the map loading code. I guess nobody thought of possible Lua usages when implementing text.

Turns out that side_t in Lua wasn't updated properly when the line field was added, which explains the 0 thing for side_t

mentioned in merge request !1017 (merged)

The line_t part of this issue is not really a bug, while the side_t part has obviously just been fixed by !1017 (merged) so I'll close this issue now.
