Saving problem

[Goulash]

I have got a problem with saving maps, it isnt soooo complicated problem but, WHERES the save buton???

[Menche]

The map is saved automatically. As for switching maps, currently there is no real management of maps, so to switch maps you have to manually rename or move the world folder.

this is what i do
main ALLWORLDS(folder)- and then i name folders in the subdirectory decribing the map or something ive built, this is as good as it gets for now.

so
ALLWORLDS/
(subdirectory)
mountain/world
gainthotdog/world
squidmonster/world

this is just an example.

and your "save" is of coarse your world folder.
no save button, automatically saves on exit.

You could make different .desktop files, er, different shortcuts for the different worlds. Pass the --map-dir option:
minetest --map-dir /home/.../some/world
or on windows
minetest.exe --map-dir c:\...\some\world

shortcuts would'nt work, there has to be one "world" file inside of the game, you would still have to go back to the folder, this would only really help if you didnt have your worlds folder in the mineteset folder. it would be like either choosing to click on the actual file or a shortcutXD

That should work, its not shortcuts to the world folder, its shortcuts that launch the game with an option selecting the different world folder.

oh ok, its not that big of a game i could see having a couple copys of it.

The executable can be the same, only the world dirs have to be different.
