Hi,

I notice that in the config file there is a line where you can specify a URL for media delivery over HTTP as an alternative to UDP.

Is there any documentation on this feature especially where you find the media and how the directory structure should work. I can see this being very useful to me as I would like to deliver the media to my server clients over a CDN which would significantly reduce load times.

Thanks.

Just throw all of the .png .ogg .x .blend files from the mods on your server into an http accessible folder, then put the appropriate web address to that folder in the remote_media setting in your config file.

I dont think any mods use .blend files.
The setting only has to be set in the server.
Clients without cURL support will still download from the Minetest server.

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

mkdir media

python -m SimpleHTTPServer <port>


Thank you, they were very useful.

blend files can not be read by Irrlicht and can therefore not be of any use for something.

I wasn't aware, I just know some of the mods have .blend files included so I uploaded them. Didn't know the engine couldn't use them.

Cool! I've been using HFS from rejetto, but I'm always out to test stuff!

http://powtils.googlecode.com/svn/dev/tools/lightwebserver/

its multithreaded and uses a white list where you add files that can be downloaded one by one to a list. i believe this is safer...

i dont remember if there is a compiled version, if not, i can upload a binary.

Cool!
