Minetest Forums

I'm trying to implement one way doors in a server. Initially I put a steel door (so that only I could open it) and in front of it a pressure plate. So when I stepped on the plate the door will open. But the door will only open for me, not for other players. How can I have that any player that steps...

It is impossible to illuminate rooms more than 9 blocks high with ceiling mounted lights. Is there any way to change this ? The experts told me that non natural sun light is limited to 16 nodes. The only way to expand non natural light is to manipulate the air nodes. This is the only mod I've found...

Nice! But as I see there is no 5.4.0-package for Ubuntu yet. When will it be come out?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:minetestdevs/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install minetest


This gave me 5.4 about 8 hiours ago from time of this post

also be sure you're not deleting the cache

Yeah, only for people with local network logins to be able to access it. The one that I remember didn't require any specific minetest login for users, it just logged them straight in and their screen name above their head in game was their network username That sysadmin editied minetest to run via ...

Yeah since ver 5 gama no longer works and caves are 100% dark beyond a few nodes of a torch. Give these mods a try. I edit mini_suns init.lua top line "range = 40" will light up a fairly large cave without crashing on my old desktop. Bright nights ( won't brighten caves) https://forum.mine...

I apologize if this is a dumb question, but in one post it says "EdgyNet is testing beta software." but then in another post it's confirmed that the software is only on the developer's PC for testing purposes and is not distributed in binary form anywhere. Does this mean EdgyNet is using ...

Minetest Game's TNT depends on fire nodes (fire:basic_flame) being available.
Do you happen to have replaced that mod with a different one?

Yes, I replaced default fire with a non spreading mod.
Thanks for the quick reply.

Multicraft 2.0 is not yet released to the public, EdgyNet is testing beta software. When will they release it for the public because we have the right to request for the source code as per GNU LGPL,right? This will happen sooner or later, but you have no right to request the code, which I use for t...

I've played other games with this feature and learned that it's far less reliable. Some players can join while others can't
You can learn a little by checking out https://wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php has this feature, it's called "STUN"

We just did a test. Indeed, all the clients are ejected but the Minetest server didn't really crash. We must shut down it before launch again. After, the clients ca come back.

Maybe the router overloads? Probably if it only happens when a higher number of players connect.

Yeah I think I'll blow away configs, purge every Minetest thing and try again. freshreplicant mentioned https://content.minetest.net/packages/TenPlus1/mobs/ I think you need this to be installed in minetests' default mod directory. (the directory with beds,flowers ect.) My guess is the subgame is l...

restrict water while you're at it because the same ploblem.

Ok, I vote for the Tech Age Survival server :-)

How do I find answers for /exam ? Also, can't read (right click) to read signs with no interact priv.

Another player told me to clikc a sign to join games but that only teleported me infront of the sign. Tried to change skin but ran into same icon of a hat? Plus having to guess a word to join makes what should be simple hard. Quit without playing a game.

This installed Minetest 5.1.1, created a new user for minetest (Debian-minetest), made a That's a older version. Retry Rubenwardys instructions. Add the PPA first , then sudo apt update, then install. sudo apt install minetest 2. The correct folder for mods for every ubunti install I've done comes ...

and third; ill probably want to upload a game in the minetest folder so server can run it on the server, so i need some kind of access to the minetest game files directory on the server what should i do? I wouldn't grant a stranger access to my hardware to try stuff. My best advice is show proof th...

holding the mouse button will attack repeatedly and results in minimal damage. fewer focused attacks are usually more effective.

moving sidewards can throw-off the opponents aim.

On more than 1 server I've been killed by a obvious hack that allows full damage with rapid blows.

i found one minetest.conf in the minetestgame of usr/share/minetest but its empty. This must not be the correct one because it should have key assignments, world path and other settings. My folder with the correct mintest.conf also contains forlders to the worlds. So i assume the folder your worlds...

I cant really find the minetest.conf that the game is really using. i would like to grant the players the run privileg On my Ubuntu ppa install minetest.conf is in a hidden folder .minetest in my home directory. when you find it default_privs = fast also you can adjust the speed of fast. example mo...

You can add to your minetest.conf
default_privs = interact, shout, fast, home, blahblahblah

note, all new players will start with these privs. old accounts you'll have to do the grant me thing.
