I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.
hello! I am starting to play with this mod, is awesome, I would like to add buildings, but I don't know what are and how to create those .we files mentioned in the doc. may someone please direct me to some documentation about that? thanks!
thks, looks like the right approach is to use text files. I already had tried that but with a fixed filename, and then I thought it was bad because the file is unique for all players. the solutions I see in your posts uses files, but with the player name as name of the file. clever.
I want to store some status (coin counter) per player. my first attempt was player:getpos followed by minetest.get_meta, but that seems to be stored the info at the current player position, not in the player itself.
is possible to store meta data in a player? if not, what is the suggested approach?

hi! really nice mod! I would like to try to make NPC's to manage state, you know, talk to the user when clicked instead of the default behaviour of receiving damage. Wonder if there are some guidelines around that, perhaps a forked version of this mod?

PD: anoth...
I wonder if it is possible to configure a minetest server to perform authentication using some external system, like a BD or a REST endpoint instead of the auth file?

@lag01: thank you for the detailed description! I am new to minetest and had been playing for a couple of days with a amazon ec2 instance and this info is really useful!
hello, I successfully ran a minetest server in a ubuntu Amazon ec2 micro instance, by downloading the source code with git, and the default game content. I build the game using the flag for running on place. the docs says that a conf file will be created the first time I run the game, but it is not ...
