Re: [Mod] Nether [nether]

Instead of polling the node name you could just use the callback function of emerge_area.

Re: [Mod] Nether [nether]

I have a suggestion to improve user experience, if someone wants to work on this: generate the terrain via minetest.emerge_area before teleporting the player. This way all these hacks with teleporting the player multiple times can be removed and players wouldn't get stuck in stone anymore.

Re: Client grey screen

Set debug_log_level to verbose in minetest.conf, this will generate more useful logs (on both, the server and client).

I use Ubuntu 12.04, so it is supported.

Also it is not out-of-date, it's an LTS version and supported until 2017.

Re: Where i can cut a fire which creating by lava?

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. Do you want to know how to modify lava so it doesn't create fire anymore? If so, then just remove the "igniter" group from the node definitions for lava_source and _flowing.

Re: default installation doesn't create necessary directory

You don't have a "run in place" version, since you installed Minetest properly with the package manager. The directory structure you quoted above is only like this in the run in place version.

Just create the mods folder in ~/.minetest and everything should work like expected.
