I just need to know how to make a server public so it shows up in the *show public server* section

by **Menche** » Sun Jul 14, 2013 04:47

You need to add these settings to minetest.conf:

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: server_name = A Server! server_description = A more detailed description server_address = example.com server_url = http://forum.thread.or.website/ server_announce = 1

Server stuff
#

# Name of server
#server_name = nolans world
# Description of server
#server_description = freebuild
# Domain name of server
#server_address = 98.30.61.85 game.minetest.net
# Homepage of server
#server_url = http://minetest.net
# Automaticaly report to masterserver
#server_announce = 1
# Default game (default when creating a new world)
#default_game = minetest

Remove the # in front of the settings, also try leaving out server_address.
The server_address setting doesn't need to be used in the most cases

Most cases = If server only has forum post and no real homepage? (I'd like to know this cause I'm also planning a server)

by **sfan5** » Sun Jul 14, 2013 08:53

server_address is not for an url.
You can use that field to use a hostname you registered e.g. myawesomeserver.minetest.net(yes, you can register your own *.minetest.net subdomain) for your server address.
That only works if you have that domain pointing to the server IP

But then he needs to remove lines witout "=" cause then he would have comments which are commented out...

no matter what question i ask, i never get the correct help.., i still get error spam, and i dont know how to get rid of that, i still get kicked out for access violation constantly, and this is no help so far.

Try this:

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: # Name of server server_name = nolan's World # Description of server server_description = FreeBuild # Domain name of server #server_address = 98.30.61.85 game.minetest.net # Homepage of server #server_url = http://minetest.net # Automaticaly report to masterserver server_announce = 1 # Default game (default when creating a new world) #default_game = minetest

Okay i have it just like that, now what?

That should annouce your server to the server list

Is there a way i can tell?

by **tinoesroho** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 18:13

:-)

Yes: Open a new client, look on public servers list. Problem. Solved.

I tried that, still nothing in public list.

http://servers.minetest.net/
Take a look there

Edit: The Server should give you a message like "announcing to servers.minetest.net"

A stupid question, but have you forwarded your port (30000 by default)?

Making a MT server on a VPS IS AN EASY TASK.

Take one Debian 6.

git clone some shit.

cmake . -flags

make -jwhatever

Some bash to restart a dead server.

Install some mods.

Configure the conf.

Start server with tmux or screen.

Youre ready to go.

Im not sure you understand, im 14, I don't know what debian 6 is i don't know how to install mods i dont know how to do really ANYTHING u just said, and i don't run Vps, i run Windows.

I only understand the mod and the conf part

I wasn't familiar with "VPS", but Wikipedia gave me the answer: it stands for virtual private server.

Debian is an operating system, specifically a flavor of the GNU/Linux operating system, which is commonly used on servers. Debian 6 is an old stable release (the current stable release is Debian 7). A lot of the rest was just samples for the kinds of things you would type in the command line to compile Minetest.

You can find minetest.conf in the directory where you installed Minetest. Open it with any text editor.
