Hi everybody!
Please help me - is there any trick to select game mode(creative/survival) when launch server form command line?
Something like

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: minetestserver --worldname my --port 30000 [color=red]--mode creative[/color]

Systems are:
1) netbook - debian linux "Sid"
2) Desktop - windows 7

server is on netbook, controlling with ssh

first start the minetest.exe in the folder where your server is... then pick the mode... there is a checkbox callee creative mode... check that, start your world, close the game, start server, done... by checking the box, it sends the config a signal that will enable it...

Edit minetest.conf (command line tool to do this: "nano minetest.conf" in the Minetest server folder)
Put this at the end:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: creative_mode = 1/0

1 to enable, 0 to disable.

Press Ctrl+X to quit, then press Y to save, then press Enter to confirm saving. Then start the server (it must be stopped when you save it).
