Save game folder ?

Does Minetest have a save game folder where one's current inventory is saved?
I don't have a minest folder in my Document and settings directory anywhere?


Thanks.

The game saves are in your minetest folder under the worlds folder. Getting just to the inventory you need to go into your worlds folder, then the players folder and it is the singleplayer file (a text file). If you play on a server, you wont have these as they are saved on the server that you are playing on.

Thanks. I found that singleplayer files there before. one is singleplayer and the
other one has ~ symbol on it.

I'm just to diagnose why it doesn't save my inventory but still writes it to the save folder?
I guess it must have a problem reading from it.

Get a 0.4.9 in-developement version from yesterday or a 0.4.10 stable from - yesterday and it's fixed.
I had this problem too and the pull got merged some days ago.

the ~ one will be a temporary file. It is used to stop corrupting files.
