FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi everyone,
i need your help for two problem i have with the game :
first, i have a problem to fly, on the 0.4.9, when i push on the flying key, the console say : "Not fly privilege".

Second, i wanted a map clean, juste with one block (or more but without island or other) because i want make tutorial on the pixel arts.

Sory for my bad English (i'm french)

And ty for answers :)

Gives you all privs.
Competed.

To your flat map, simply edit the "minetest.conf" file.
First, close minetest.
Then, set the following value (or add it, when not exists):

After this, create a new world and Oh-wow! it's - flat!

Sory but i don't find the file "minetest.conf".
Can you say where is this file ?

Welcome to Minetest forums!

On windows, your minetest.conf is in your minetest root folder, or the folder which is one folder up the bin folder.

Keep minetest closed while you are editing it

Sory i'm on Linux ^^. On the first minetest's folder i've :"minetest.conf.example" but it isn't ok .. :(

But ty for fly :)

On Linux, minetest.conf is in the hidden ".minetest" directory in your home directory. So you get there with "cd ~/.minetest" in a terminal. In Dolphin or other graphical file managers you normally have to type in the directory because all files starting with a "." are normally hidden under Linux.

btw, ctrl+h shows hidden files in linux

Ty for your help

Also, ls -a in the terminal.

In Dolphin and Konqueror file managers it is alt+.

For an absolutly clean map with nothing in it but you, you may want to try the "mapgen" called "singlenode".

I suggest that you start such a map in creative mode because you may be surprised that "nothing" does indeed mean nothing as in nothing there but you. As you fall you can press F5 to watch the numbers change and watch the nyancats fly by. You can enter "/grant singleplayer all", start flying and add some blocks to the next best nyancat for a start.

Or if you have the "WorldEdit" mod installed you can place some blocks at any position of your choice or import a minetest schematics file or do what ever you like.
