So it would be best to concatenate minetest.get_current_modname() as the prefix to all of the ids in all of the registry function calls.
This is what I meant to suggest, sorry for being vague.

Re: Wrapping minetest.register_*() Functions w/ other Functi
Wrapping functions is powerful, but this is not a good use-case for it. Wrapping functions that are facing other modules that expect a certain interface should be done only if you keep the interface the same. If you change the interface then you might as well expose a new function for mods to use, b...

Re: Why client-sided scripting?
I think it could have applications in GUI stuff that doesn't have to go to the server and back for a response. You also wouldn't have to worry about the definition being serializable, so you could have callbacks and things as part of the core GUI API.

If your OS is supposed to be sandboxed, don't try to access the environment from it. If you want to provide some limited access to it, then you can put a function for doing that in the environment you pass (you will want to "localize" any global variables you use in the function): local fu...

Re: [Mod / Library] Multinode Structure Matching [multiblock
Ok, just updated it so that captures include node params (and thus can be used like a node argument). I've tested it and it appears to work with both torches and stairs, which I am pretty sure use param2 for facedir.

Re: [Mod / Library] Multinode Structure Matching [multiblock
The crash I would consider a bug with the test script, but it's true that the mod could have better support for facedir. I might as well just make captures be the standard node table format + position field, which would fix this. I won't have time for a few hours, though.
