FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi,

I have runing a server in my network at home and I will start on this machine minetest as an server that I and my little son can build some thinks. I start the server from the command with minetest.exe --server --address 192.168.10.2 --dstream-on-stderr

The server starts, but I cant connect with the client.

Can anybody tell me what I do wront?

Thanks,

Windows Firewall?

yes thats right ... I'm so stupid :) Everyday I work with this, and than at home, I forget it :)

How I can save the server, the map?

The map will be saved automatically

thank you ... i have seen it :)

But notice that before stop the server , wait 1 or 2 minutes to let it save the map :) !

Or hit ctrl+c. I believe that is the normal way of shutting down a server. It makes sure that the map is saved.

Or you could just use the /shutdown command in-game ^_^

Are you all saying that the map isn't getting saved when the X button of the console window is clicked? If so, that would be a data loss bug... which could probably be fixed using a few SetConsoleCtrlHandler(...) calls.

Not sure I've just got into the habbit of using the command, although I have noticed if you close the game with the X of the client window to exit the game now and again it will cause you to spawn in the ground when you next login lol
