Re: New users to only login from same subnet
Thanks. I'll follow those suggestions up & see if I can get something working.

New users to only login from same subnet
Is it possible to tell the server that new users can only login if doing so from the same subnet? Once a user has logged in the first time, they would be allowed to connect from any ip address? If this isn't possible, are there any mods that do similar things, involving account creation and ip addre...

One thing that makes deployment difficult in a school environment is the location of the 'user data directory', an issue I raised in this thread:

Re: [Mod] basic_robot [basic_robot]
ok, but when a chunk reloads, any robot in that chunk should reappear where it last was?
It can't get somehow moved back to the robot spawner from which it came?

Re: [Mod] basic_robot [basic_robot]
Same problem as above : the robot got to an unloaded mapblock. When you are around, the server keeps loading them. Is is predictable what happens when that occurs? When I experimented (0.4.14) having a robot build a never ending column, sometimes the robot was paused at the top & resumed buildi...

Re: [Mod] basic_robot [basic_robot]
Do robots stop working when they get a certain distance away from their owner, or an observer?
The first thing I tried was just building an endless column. The robot seems to go up & then stop. However, If I fly up alongside it, the robot continues.

minetest in a school
Like other people here, we are using Minetest in an after school Code Club. Students, aged 11-16, are very keen to play the game, but our aim, as teachers, is to give them the experience of creating digital content rather than just being consumers. I'd be interested in hearing of activities other sc...

Re: How to use b3d in blender?
yep.. seems like a lot of trouble. Probably not worth it just to see what a few chickens look like.
Guess I'll just play with the other formats.

Thanks ExeterDad, surely they must be editable in something! It would seem odd for the minetest community to adopt a file format with no associated tooling.

Re: How to use b3d in blender?
assimp only works with one of the models in mobs redo. Thanks pithy. Using the models that come with mobs redo, I can open the *.x files in 'Open 3D Model Viewer' and from there save in .3ds or .ply formats, either of which I can then open in blender. However, I still can't open the .b3d files, 'Op...

How to use b3d in blender?
What's currently the best way to import b3d files into Blender? Looking at a previous post here, I've found: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minetest/B3DExport/master/B3DExport.py which exports as b3d from Blender, but what about importing into Blender?

Do you mean you can't ping it from another computer in the same house?
Or, that you can't ping it from another computer elsewhere on the Internet? This scenario requires opening ports on your firewall/router.

Re: objects from removed mod
Thanks ph8jPf9M.
Seems a bit expensive to me, checking every 10 seconds when all that's needed is to scan the entire map just once, when you have removed a mod.
I'll experiment with it.

Re: 64x32 player texture template
Thanks kaeza, just what I was looking for.
I'd already followed the thread krock links to, but couldn't find any templates in the MT-Skin database.

Thanks sfan5. I'm afraid compiling from the source is probably beyond my ability, I'm not a C programmer. As with the previous thread, I'm wondering if the game is playable in a school environment.

user data directory
I'm wanting to set up minetest for users of a windows network. The minetest folders would reside on a read-only server share, from which users can invoke minetest.exe. Problem is, I think minetest expects users to have write permission on the minetest folders and to be able to create a 'user data di...

However, putting serverlist_url = 0, suppresses the server list, but a 'Loading...' message is displayed there instead.
