Mod inter-compatibility list - what mods should implement

[orwell]

This thread is intended to make all minetest mods better working together. It is thought of as a reference for mod developers on what to do to make his/her mod friend with others. This mainly includes:
- groups
- methods / procedures to call
Developers can look up in this thread what to do to make the mod compatible/better working with other mods.
If advising groups, tell the group name and when it should be set to what value. If advising method calls, tell when and how it should be or should not be called.
Moderators, please pin this post if you find it useful.

advtrains:
- Set group not_blocking_trains=1 when a node you defined is walkable and may stand at a place where a train passes by and shouldn't block it. Examples: platforms, signs, signals, carpets (why ever).

tyrant:
When you are writing mob spawning code for hostile mobs, include/adapt this code:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

if minetest.get_modpath("tyrant") and not tyrant.check_hostile_mobs_allowed(pos) then
  return
end


elevator:
- Set group not_blocking_elevators=1 when a node you defined may be inside an elevator shaft without blocking the elevator (regardless of 'walkable' state). Examples: signs, torches.

Have you taken a look at viewtopic.php?f=47&t=15202 and http://dev.minetest.net/Mod_interoperability?

This is not exactly what i want to achieve. This is for inter-operatability with not so common mods.
