Re: minetest needs an RPC api

folding@home works because the folding solutions are verifiable / scorable without having to find the solution again. It would be difficult to verify something like a weather simulation without running it yourself.

I think another criterion should be added: the functionality should be something that doesn't belong in the engine.

No, I don't think so. At least without override on_use in the hand item definition, which would break digging.

Re: [Mod] Ray-traced explosion library/API [explosions]

What if you used perlin noise to assign varying strengths to each direction? Probably 3D noise since that may be the easiest way to make the strength continuous.

Re: [Mod] Ray-traced explosion library/API [explosions]

For entity damage couldn't you calculate a non-sampled approximation based on entity size and distance from the explosion? Then you wouldn:'t have to add more rays, most of which won't be hitting any entities.

Re: Post your mod requests/ideas here

Voxel games don't need to have static sizes for players and entities, in fact you can change the size of non-player entities. You can't do it with players, but that's just because such a feature is not implemented in Minetest, not because it's a voxelgame.

You could make batteries be more expensive and degrade, like in real life. This would make the solar generator's intermittent power generation a bigger disadvantage (also like real life).

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [1.13]

A simple hack would be to place invisible light-emitting nodes that decay when there's no train on top of them. Though that could be expensive due to modifying the world and triggering lighting calculations.

Re: [Mod] bank_sell_protector -- Sell your protectors

IMO the mod should just have a different name with different nodes. It's not really the same thing as protector. (Assuming the thing that changed is you can right click on a protector to buy its space, it's not clear from the OP)

Note the use of local. Defining classes as global variable has the same problems as any other global variable and should be avoided in mods.

Why does this need to be a fork as opposed to a separate mod that lets you sell protectors?
