___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Download | Github




How to install? - Easy
1. Download and install AutoHotkey
2. Add external_cmd mod to your server
3. Download minetest.ahk and edit path at 'minetest.ahk' F:\minetest\worlds\myworld\message >> D:\myserver\worlds\test\message
4. Start server and minetest.ahk

bingo!

P.S. To close script use 'escape' button

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_robot/tree/master/scripts/http/webcommands

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).

But that is the problem / that doesn't work (I had tested "/sd" and that doesn't work)

Use /shutdown

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

[Miniontoby]

That does I had done. And in world.mt do I have set external_cmd to true.

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

[Miniontoby]

I see that the program is does write to the file, but I'm hasn't checked of it is working in the server

It does work!!

[Miniontoby]

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

I do it on Windows 10 and it does work. If you need my code, I can send it to you

[bosapara]

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"
