FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I am running Ubuntu Linux and minetest 4.12. I setup a server using my console like:

minetest --server --world New_Server

I created the New_Server map prior to running this. The game works fine but I can't shut the server down or grant privs from the console. I used to be able to do this but now when I type "shutdown" or "/shutdown" in the console, nothing happens.

thanks

it's --worldname not --world.

thanks for the reply rubenwardy,

I got that fixed, but still can't shutdown the server from the terminal for some reason

tried the command shutdown and the command /shutdown and nothing happens, the server still is running.

thanks

Afaik, to stop the server from the terminal, you need to press Ctrl+C to stop it.

Dartmouth,
Thanks, that did the trick. I still can't do commands successfully from the command prompt. Should I be able to grant privs from the command line?

thanks

Yes you should be able to. It's not currently possible without using est31's minetest ncurses fork.
