Re: Default file format for screenshots
If you want some background, jpeg is a lossy format; it means that to achieve better compression, it removes some information from your image, based on the fact that human eye does not react to every colors in the same way. That kind of compression can create "artifacts" in the image, that...

Re: how to?
If you just want to get the default items in your inventory while using minetes game, you just need to add the following line in your`minetest.conf file:
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Re: Loading media takes forever
I guess if it works on lan, but not outside lan, there is probably some filtering issue; firewall or router.
Are you using remote media server or only minetest listening on the default 30000 port ?

Re: How to disable lava and water source?
Yes, that's exactly what I do (In fact, I wrote some scripts that does this for me). The trick is: when a new version of minetest_game is out, create a diff between the old version and your subgame. Then, apply that diff to the new minetest_game, and you have your new game version. Do not try to cre...

Re: How to disable lava and water source?
Yes you can do that; just copy /usr/share/games/minetest/games/minetest_game to your own folder (like .minetest/games/manglefox). Then, in that folder, locate the game.conf file and change the name to whatever you want. You can also change the menu/header.png and menu/icon.png files. Those are used ...

If your server is based on minetest_game, there should be a bucket folder in the games/minetest_game/mods/ folder. This should remove buckets for everyone.

Re: help Server wont start
EnvArgsEnd is a classic error when a server crashes.
Just removing the env_meta.txt file in your world's folder will solve the issue.
This file just contains the time of day (and game time), and it will be recreated on next start.

Re: [Modpack] Display Modpack
@LazerRay , maybe a copy of the error message will help the mod developer to find the problem.
minetest outputs somewhere a debug.txt file that contains all those errors messages. Just copy here the relevant part (Iike 15 lines before and after the error).

If it's installed in /usr, I suppose, you did it as root.
And if you try to run it as a user, can you verify you have enough permissions to access the mod files ? (Read for files and read + execute for directories)

Re: impossible de rejoindre un monde
Dans le répertoire "worlds" tu devrait trouver un répertoire avec le nom de ton monde. Et dans ce répertoire là, un fichier nommé "env_meta.txt".
C'est ce fichier qui est erroné. En général, simplement le supprimer (ou renommer) suffit à faire redémarrer le monde.
