Re: Textures Issue
Often already existing textures from an other loaded mod are re-used for new nodes. So no textures folder is needed in this case.

Re: [Mod] Subspace Walker Tool (subspacewalker)
A gameplay related update: Added wear to the subspacewalker tool depending on transformation count. Now the tool transforms only 65535 nodes. On default size that are ~ 1000 steps (which have gone faster than you think). So the tool does not give persistent capability to the player in survival.

Re: Textures Issue
You need to create a "textures" folder in the mod folder and add your texture file to this folder. See http://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/chapters/folders.html To avoid conflicts to the other mods please rename your "texture.png" to "prc_texture.png" or somethi...

I don't see any issue with gameplay-relevant client<->server messaging since players can already send bad formspec submissions A client<->server / mod <-> mod messaging presupposes a mod at the server site provide an additional sender/receiver. Such sender/receiver is always an additional risk like...

Re: Decreasing load times
A newbie question/idea at this point: Are texture-packs client site or server site? If client site: will the client download textures even the pack contains them? Maybe that is a way to reduce the downloads. Could ogg-files be included to texture pack for delay reductions?

Re: [Mod] April Fools [WIP] [git] [april_fools]
Next idea (not checked if possible): If mobs_redo mod is installed, pick randomly a monster model+skin, apply them to a player and disable the nametag for ~2 minutes gameplay. Should be funny in multiplayer if anyone transforms to monster and you cannot see the difference.

As described in subject, is there a way implemented to show tool wear on formspec / item_image_button[]? (for armor in smart_inventory). I know, using list[] it works out of the box, but I like to see it on a button. In doc/lua_api.txt there is a "serialized itemstring" described with samp...
