Mods are loaded during server startup from the mod load paths by running
the init.lua scripts in a shared environment.
Paths
-----
RUN_IN_PLACE=1: (Windows release, local build)
$path_user: Linux: <build directory>
Windows: <build directory>
$path_share: Linux: <build directory>
Windows: <build directory>
RUN_IN_PLACE=0: (Linux release)
$path_share: Linux: /usr/share/minetest
Windows: <install directory>/minetest-0.4.x
$path_user: Linux: ~/.minetest
Windows: C:/users/<user>/AppData/minetest (maybe)
Games
-----
Games are looked up from:
$path_share/games/gameid/
$path_user/games/gameid/
where gameid is unique to each game.
The game directory contains the file game.conf, which contains these fields:
name = <Human-readable full name of the game>
common_mods = <Comma-separated list of common mods>
eg.
name = Minetest
common_mods = bucket, default, doors, fire, stairs
Common mods are loaded from the pseudo-game "common".
