Re: Convert Minecraft maps to Minetest WorldEdit schematics
Does this filter work both sides? I'm looking for a method to export fragments of Minetest worlds to Blender. I thought I might import a .we file in MC's WorldEdit and then use the Mineblend filter to export. There is a minecraft to blender python script called mineblend, that might provide a start...

Re: [Mod] MapIt [1.2] [mapit] – another mapping mod
The mod expects mapittest2.png and mapittest2_thumb.png to be in the textures directory of the mod, but I'll come up with some debug code to see why it isn't recognising the directory properly.

Re: [Mod] MapIt [1.2] [mapit] – another mapping mod
Looks like it's not copying the files correctly. I've only ever tested with linux, but that part of the code should be os independent. I take it you've got a file called mapit.png in your textures folder (you should as it's in the git and I'd expect a different error if not). You could try commentin...

Re: Minecraft to Minetest Block Converter
Oh I get what you mean. The problem is that when converting a minecraft world, using minetest blocks doesn't necessarily work very well. Amongst others, problems were that doors didn't open correctly, rotation of blocks is very random and difficult to predict, even simple items such as the anvil don...

You don't need to use sudo, the terminal commands are:-
I can easily do it by opening terminals, but I want to do it automatically.
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: Database Backend Questions
Is there a mod (or some other way) to have minetest start up and shut down the redis server if it's not already been started?
It's a bit of a pain having to browse to a bash script every time I want to run one (having said that the speed does seem to be worth it)
