Where can i download the port?
take a look at https://github.com/red-001/ambience or https://github.com/red-001/MinetestAmbience. Copy the files in /sounds to your soundpack. I'm not really happy with either. I tried to write an ambience mod designed for CSM but due to some strange issues I ran into I put that project on halt.

Could I have a CSM that shows how many nodes/punches a tool has left (Shown in description and/or/not in the name?
For example: Diamond sword [7] (About to break)
Maybe support for stu's 3d_armor mod also? Showing how many hits it has left before breaking?

That's a good idea! But the information can only be shown in chat yet.

It can be done in an ordinary mod using an override.

Ok I'll ask the server admin and see if he'd like that too

Could someone make a clientmod that allows you to search for itemstrings? For example:
.search:mese
This cmd would print out a list of all itemstrings with the word: 'mese' in it.
This would be VERY useful for anyone with the 'give' priv who wants to get a special itemstring or something. Like In a server with jp's xdecor mod it took me FOREVER to find the itemstring for an enchanted sword xD (I was thinking I could make it sharper than 8% Guess you can't)
EDIT: It's possible to list the itemstrings from other mods right?

You can´t do this because you didn´t get the wear of an item with the CSM api. :)
There is a chest_inspect CSM, how about a player inspect? So I can see what a player has on them.
You can´t get an other player inventory with the CSM api.

What do you mean by: didn't get the wear of an item? The inspect CSM tells you the percentage of a tools' wear.

Can you tell me the exact api, how to do this?

Yes, I have looked for the API. It isn´t doable.

I knew that already xD
The inspect cmd is good enough for me and I've asked the admin of the server I frequent to make the change. Haven't got an answer yet but I know he read it xD

CSM requests
1. A clientmod that converts all foreign languages into english/your selected language (Example: .language english).

2. A clientmod that allows you to copy & select chat from the console window (f10).

3. This mod turned into a csm?

That will be possible when #6067 is merged.

Though I've posted about this elsewhere, I would like to develop a client side mod that can call os.events - or - basically, I want to embed http links into signs and/or node (when punched) that will open the default browser of the computer and take the player to a specific site/page.

I want to do this to assist in creating a viable function for an educational version of Minetest. While educational software is always weighed down by requirements to be - well - educational... it is easier to run a student through a few paragraphs of text, followed by a quick quiz - all of which can be tracked with the right management (google suites for example) - give them a password for a locked door or chest - and return them to the game - then it is to build all that into a minetest mod...

What other uses could there be? Servers could link directly to forums for feedback... quest makers could incorporate story telling using other technologies like flash... and once its started, the possibilities are endless.

There may be security concerns - and they may be justified - but there's gotta be a way to make it all happen. :)

Is that possible as a CSM? Or did I misread?

It is not. Whole os module is blacklisted.

I don't see how the two are related. That is a simple web portal connected to mod; it opens no webpages clientside.

But if it has two way communication to a website I was thinking that might give me a clue. I am still very green at all of this.

There is a wiki-mod, that allows ingame webpages (kind of - it supports only text).

To give/share/exchange private infos, use mailboxes (eg. from xdecor) and books / keys.

Also, there is a display-modpack that gives you posters to put longer texts on walls,
as well as roadsigns and ingame clocks.

Seen on the 'swiss' servers.

Those aren't webpages; they are simple text files. "A web page, or webpage, is a document that is suitable for the World Wide Web and web browsers.".
