SSCSM

Server-Sent Client-Side Mods

Usage (Mods)

1. Add sscsm to your mod depends
2. Place CSM files in a client directory in your mod directory
3. sscsm.register_mod(modname)

The server must have enable_mod_channels = true in the minetest.conf for this mod to work.

Example

File structure:

mods/
    ├── mymod/
    │   ├── init.lua
    │   ├── mod.conf
    │   ├── README.md
    │   ├── client/   <-- SSCSM
    │   │   ├── init.lua
    │   │   └── stuff.lua
	│   └── textures/
    │       ├── image.png
    │       └── ...

/mymod/mod.conf:

name = mymod
description = Does stuff
depends = sscsm

/mymod/init.lua:

minetest.register_node("mymod:foo", {
	description = "Foo",
	tiles = {"bar.png"},
})

sscsm.register_mod("mymod")

/mymod/client/init.lua:

minetest.register_chatcommand("foo", {
	func = function()
		minetest.display_chat_message("bar")
	end,
})

Client-Side Counterpart

Clients must have the client-side mod installed in order to receive sent mods.

Users will be prompted to install the client-side mod on join (if needed). Add sscsm.prompt = false to your minetest.conf to disable this.

It is recommended that you design your mods in a way that makes SSCSM optional. However, you may add sscsm.force = true to your minetest.conf to deny users that do not have the CSM installed.
