I can't config worlds and install mods

[vladimir37]

Under Ubuntu 14.04, this page doesn't allow me to install mods.
Clicking the "All activate" button doesn't change anything.

You don't have any mods installed properly, it seems - everything in blue text is in the default MT installation and can't be disabled.

Remember you must rename all extracted mod folders (remove -master) for MT to be able to use it.

It is getting all the odder.There is apparently a graphic bug because I miss a checkbox at the top and the the name of the world covers the "Select world".
In fact, all blue-written mods are installed.I can have added another one, the sea mod, but I can't activate any other ones and some already installed ones are idle like the "legacy " mod.I am clueless but I keep trying.

What OS are you using?

I think you are probably installing your mods inside the "minetest_game" (or any other game you are using) folder. Install them in /mods, not in /games/examplegame/mods.

If this is not the problem, mind giving us the folder tree of your minetest directory? Just post a screenshot or something.

How do you enable mods with the 'world.mt' files?What is the folder tree?What must be mentioned in it?

Should be ~/.minetest
. Means hidden

[vladimir37]

Problem solved.I just checked out the folder tree when I type the "minetest" command line so as to run minetest and installed mods in the right folder.I don't think it is meant to work this way but it does.

[benrob0329]

The correct path to the mods folder is

Code: Select all

~/.minetest/mods

You installed the mods in the subgame folder, which is not the correct way to do it.

I did that at the very beginning but it didn't work.
