Servers: Passwords and Texture Packs

by xenix » Post

Hi all, I'm relatively new to MT and I have a couple questions about server config.
  1. I've read all that I can find about servers and passwords, but I can't find anything about password-protecting a server such that you must enter the server password to connect. Can this be done? (I realize you can simply not advertise the server, but port-scanning and dumb luck are both real things.)
  2. Is there any way to 'force' a particular texture pack for a server?
Sorry if these are dumb newbie questions, I really did try to find answers before posting but couldn't turn up anything.

maybe this:

Code: Select all

disallow_empty_password = true
default_password = Siam
I used it, and works

No, the client is in full control of everything visible.

Na, that's a bit far around the table,
but if you have changed EVERY texture name, and your own texture pack fixed for this - then all other free packs wouldn't work as they don't fix to this strange new names ...

Thank you both. :)

One more question, is there a "complete" list of all possible settings / value enumerations that can go into minetest.conf?

The included example file that ships with the download, while large, is incomplete; there is no mention of "enable_tnt" even though that is a valid entry. The Wiki also seems to not list all possible entries.

Yes. Here is an example for current master:

This is the example for current stable:

no, and can't be as the biggest one I know is also not actual,
and of more and more new options come even with new engine (as 'abm_time_budged') or even also inside mods ..
that guy might make this full list would have a full time never ending job ...

To use a texture pack server-side, place the texture pack you want in the textures folder of your .minetest folder and rename the folder of the texture pack itself to "server" without the quotes.
