good. another way is to use 'custom web server' software to pass incoming message to minetest (easily written in any language c++, rust,.. or nodejs) using minetest http_api. I made an example using my 'basic_robot' mod - you can write text in browser like: "http://address/your command"
and this almost instantly shows up in game: https://github.com/ac-minetest/basic_ro ... ebcommands

I wonder if it might be possible to use IPC with a named pipe or a non-blocking socket on Linux to communicate with the Minetest mods. That would probably be the most seamless and efficient, since it doesn't require opening and closing temporary files (which works, but is kind of a kludge).

It doesn't work. And where do I need to put external_cmd mod exactly?

All works perfect, you do something wrong
"external_cmd" Install it as minetest mod

if it still doesn't work, check again path folder to world of "minetest.ahk", also check disk letter - C, D, F etc

D:\minetest\worlds\myworld\message

And can you make that it can do every command in minetest ("/grant <player> <priv>", "/kill <player>")

Miniontoby, about "/grant" command - for me it works good. Just add "admin" name to minetest.conf and start server

If you need "/kill" command add this code to external cmd or as different mod

Code: Select all

minetest.register_chatcommand("kill", {
	description = "Kill [player] or you",
	param = "[player]",
--	privs = {hp = true},
	func = function(name, param)
		local target
		local targetname
		if param == "" then
			target = minetest.get_player_by_name(name)
		else
			target = minetest.get_player_by_name(param)
		end
		
		local admin = minetest.setting_get("name")
		if admin == nil then admin = "SERVER" end
		if name ~= admin then
			return
		end		
		
		
		if target then
			targetname = target:get_player_name()
			target:set_hp(0)
			minetest.chat_send_player(name, "Killed " .. targetname .. ".")
			if minetest.setting_getbool("enable_command_feedback") then
				minetest.chat_send_all(minetest.colorize("#7F7F7F", "[".. name ..": Killed ".. targetname ..".]"))
			end
			if math.random(1, 5) == 1 and minetest.setting_getbool("morecommands_enable_particles") then
				easter_egg(targetname)
			end
		else
			minetest.chat_send_player(name, minetest.colorize("#FF0000", "Player not found: " .. param))		
		end
	end
})

arrangebizarre, do you had done this in your PowerShell (Use [windows_key] + "X" and click on "Windows PowerShell") echo [message] > "<dir of Minetest>\worlds\<worldname>\message"
