Re: [Mod] Land Rush [landrush]
Yes there is a /shareall command. That will share all of a users existing land claims with another user. If they add more claims later on that they want to share with everybody they'll have to use the /shareall command again.

Would minetest.line_of_site be too expensive? Maybe use line_of_site in combination with the light method for more accuracy.

Re: Why client-sided scripting?

Re: io.lines() seems not longer to work
You can open the file and then use filehandle:lines(). I fixed the io violations in some mods on my server but then I got tired of tracking down security violations and just turned it off. In minetest.conf secure.enable_security = false https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/minetest.conf....

Re: Why client-sided scripting?
I think the main goal is better client side prediction. This would help with things like doors being slow to open / close, lag essentially bypassing protection.

Re: Server Authority (Privs) Bug
It is really annoying. Maybe we should suggest that the client and the server not use the same config variable. Maybe they should add 'admin_name' for server use and then the client can still use 'name' for the last user that used the client.

Re: Server Authority (Privs) Bug
Look at minetest.conf and whatever player the 'name' setting is set to will have irrevocable full privs. That is most likely what is happening.

Re: [floodable nodes] drop items on flood
As far as I can tell when you register a node as floodable it is considered the same as air by the engine when liquid spreads. If you want it to drop nodes you'll have to change the engine (which would be a bit of work) or do like taikedz said and write your own flooding system using an abm which wo...

Re: get_objects_inside_radius returns objects with no name
get_objects_inside_radius also gets players, dropped items, etc... so you'll need to check for obj:is_player in the for loop and check that .name ~= nil or some other property that will help you identify whether it's actually a mob or not.
