[Request] Custom drawtypes (as fencelike)

[lord_james]

I know we have xfences and xpanes connect nodes, but I think thi way use a lot of resources and code. A good feature for mods It could be a new class of drawtype in c++ where you can determinate the rules to change this node to another shape like fences and panes. Also could add rules to connect with anothers nodes, etc. What dou you think?

I have this branch flying arround that changes the behaviour of fencelike drawtype: https://github.com/PilzAdam/minetest/commits/fencelike
Maybe it helps a bit.

I know PilzAdam, But I wants to mean a new drawtype (custom drawtype) where I can write all the nodes changes a C++ change it automatically without use more lua code. For example: instead of the new mesecon wires who use a lot of nodes, I define the rules of how work nodes and they place it correctly like fences.

Yeah, it would be nice if that was a drawtype. It would be helpful for decor mods.
