I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe. Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow, away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

Invalid gamespec?

by RAPHAEL » Wed Mar 21, 2012 00:16

Well I'm "trying" to bring my updated server online but whenever I try to use minetestserver I get this:
ERROR[main]: Invalid gamespec. (world_gameid=)

minetest.conf
address = 192.168.1.100
creative_mode = 0
enable_3d_clouds = 0
enable_damage = 1
name = RAPHAEL
new_style_leaves = 0
opaque_water = 0
port = 50000
smooth_lighting = 0
max_users = 5
default_privs = shout
motd = no hostile mobs, yet
only_peaceful_mobs = true
time_speed = 1
free_move = true
fast_move = false
selected_mainmenu_tab = 1
selected_world_path = /home/user/minetestlatest/worlds/meow


I tried putting in default_game = mesetint but it didn't work either. I'm out of ideas to try to bring it up.

Can anyone confirm if this is a bug or just me? If you can get a server running with minetestserver please let me know "how".

The process I took:
* compiled minetest to run in place
* fired up minetest and created a world
* closed it and tried to run minetestserver
* got error in first post

I've tried a few things so far but nothing seems to work.

EDIT:
./minetestserver
21:22:23: ACTION[main]: minetest with SER_FMT_VER_HIGHEST=22, VER=0.4.dev-20120320 RUN_IN_PLACE=1 USE_GETTEXT=1 INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local BUILD_TYPE=Release
21:22:23: ERROR[main]: Invalid gamespec. (world_gameid=)

Well I FINALLY figured it out. Apparently you must call ./minetestserver --gameid mesetint

That's new...
