Simply add lines if you need to set them and they are not there yet.

what i mean is could you provide the line or give a example so i may just oaste in and type the path it needs to go to

Look in minetest.conf.example for a full list of settings.

this didnt help so much as i did add the path as this

trilinear_filter = 1
noclip = true
Texture_path = /home/kah/.minetest/Textures/Minetoon 0.4


then whne i loaeded a new single player map it was exactly the same default texture

I guess its best if you give the full path (starting at the root directory (/))

Remember that file and directory names in Linux are *case sensitive*.
Maybe you meant /home/kah/.minetest/textures instead of /home/kah/.minetest/Textures. Also, I'm not sure, but I think config variables are case sensitive too, so "Texture_path" is not the same as "texture_path".

thanks for the info then mate and does anyone no why mobs arent spawning in single anymore i cant seem to find any in it and its not so fun i liked the constants of enemeys following waiting till you had to respawn. and i got the pilzadams mobs 0.4 and i wanted to install as well thanks chaps Kevin.

EDIT: i tried doing as you instructed as it didnt do anything saddens me so yet im going to keep searching and when i get it right im making a video and putting it on youtube on my channel for those that have linux. Later Kevin

Try JBR's texture pack program... it is an exe so you will probably need Win to run it... But you can select your texture pack with ease.

i am also having a difficult time installing texture packs, i have searched the web but get the same install instructions that don't work.

i've tried editing the .conf removing the # and placing the correct path file. i've also tried deletiing the texure <dir> and copying over it. i'ev looked at youtube videos, read all the readme files that looked like they might be related (also read some that weren't)
read the forums and basicly did all the leg work i can think of but still no dice.

the ver no. is 0.4.7 installed from the one line install forum on ubuntu linux disto 12.04 LTS

even when deleteing the default texture path = /home/danny/minetest/textures minetest sill used default textures. perhapps, this is not the default texture path?

any info or step by step would be greatly appreciated, and thank-you in advance

Did you unpack the textures directly in `textures/', or created a sub-directory for the pack?

Texture paths should be sub-directories of `<minetest>/textures'. As an example, I have HDX 64px as `minetest/textures/hdx-64', MineToon as `minetest/textures/MineToon', etc. If you install packs that way, you can change textures on-the-fly from the main menu ("Texture Packs" tab).

i did unpack and place them in sub <dir>
here's my texture path: texture_path = /home/danny/minetest/textures/sortex-minetest-04

and my .confg texture_path = /home/danny/minetest/textures/sortex-minetest-04 still no joy checked the mod tabs and the texture.
also tried reinstalling minetest, again.
im just doomed to vinilla textures i guess.
thanks for the reply though
