Textures in Linux
Well, I read the previous post with a similar title, but it won't allow me to paste the images into the usr/share/minetest folder.

You need sudo access, if you are using nautilus, open a terminal then type, without the quotes:
"gksudo nautilus"
Important, you must use gksudo and not sudo. Then, navigate to /usr/share/minetest (or /usr/share/games/minetest, not sure), then go in the data folder, make a backup of the old textures, then replace them with the new ones.

This works pretty well. But you need a texture for everything to make it work. If some textures are not present it won't work.Menche wrote:You don't really have to replace the textures; you can put the texture pack anywhere and add "texture_path=(where you stored the pack)" to your minetest.conf, which should be in ~/.minetest if you installed the game.

When I switch packs this way and a texture isn't available, the game just uses the default for that texture.Maelstrom wrote:This works pretty well. But you need a texture for everything to make it work. If some textures are not present it won't work.
An innocent kitten dies every time you top-post.
Well I had a problem with a new created world, not showing any custom textures. After relogging in my local game the World was Black, showing every Tile was without any textures. Even the sky was not there.
Copying the missing texture Files in the custom Folder everything works fine.
It could be a problem with the stable build I am using but I doubt it would be any different.
I am using Linux Mint based on Natty and amd64. Installed the precompiled, stable .deb package available yesterday.
Edit: Nope. Something seems horribly wrong with my version. Maybe some sort of 3D bug. I will look into it.
Edit2: OK, I have found the Problem. I am spawning UNDERGROUND. Exactly 2 squares under my last visit. Nothing with the Textures. Sorry the bother.
