Re: Error executing minetest Segmentation fault ( core recor
gdb helps to find out the reason of the crash, it does not prevent it. Once the program is crashed, you have to enter "bt full" into the gdb console. It will show a backtrace, which developers need to find out what your crash is about.

Re: 0.4.13 server crash: assertion failed in serialize.h:265
zzantozz, Thanks for the backtrace, this helps alot. Krock, I don't think its a wrong yaw or something else, I think the call between the stack elements writeF1000 and gob_cmd_update_position is a writeV3F1000, and its an out of bounds position or velocity. But for the case its an invalid position, ...

Re: [0.4.13] Inventory movement using shift
How would I make it so input goes to player inventory? If you want that "A goes to B", you should specify the first occurence of A directly before (any occurence of) B. It seems you want a ring like: output -> player inventory -> input -> player inventory So that from output, it goes to t...

Re: How do I change the default "worlds" folder path?
So the only thing you'd need to do is to set up sharing of these roaming directories. This is specific to how the computers are set up, but if they are set up properly, it should work. Here some doc, quoting what the APPDATA env var does: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd560744%28v=ws.1...

Re: How do I change the default "worlds" folder path?
I don't think a setting is needed for the user path, just look here: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/2a9da62b21b5c509496b8fd42/src/porting.cpp#L356-L360 So in theory, it will store data into the folder specified by the appdata env var, which in theory should be the roaming user data: http:...

Re: 0.4.13 server crash: assertion failed in serialize.h:265
can you try to run minetest in gdb? e.g. gdb minetest --verbose? gdb has an according ubuntu package, just install it. If it crashes, you can type "bt" or "bt full", and it gives you a backtrace, which is very useful for development. You can quit gdb with "q"

Re: [0.4.12-dev] Mod security
Okay, this only works though if the evil mod gets loaded before the trusted mod, and the trusted mod uses that facility while loading(quite common). This seems to be a valid way to escape the sandbox, congratulations.

Re: [0.4.12-dev] Mod security
ArguablySane, lua security doesn't have the "state" approach. Instead, security is managed using functions. If you have no functions you can use to do evil stuff, you are in a sandbox. Trusted mods get a table with a set of "dangerous" functions. Now mod B can't do any evil thing...
