'doors' is a separate mod under "minetest_game/mods", so you miss it there or you are playing "minimal", which hasn't got a 'doors' mod.

This is a mineTEST forum not a mineCRAFT forum. :-)

YES, I know that. I went onto minetest wiki, and it said for me to build a door with 6 wood on one side.

I was just joking. Look at the smiley face.

Have a nice rest of the year.

Redownload the game or open minetest the games then minetest then mods and see if you have doors installed

another question: if I remove minetest from my computer, will I lose any of my data?? I will try that.

Like worlds? Just copy your worlds into your new minetest

um, ok. I have linux- will that make a difference?? I installed it using Ubuntu Software Center.

Not sure as I use windows and have never used Linux you have foldersyes?

idk. im new to linux./

Well this might be a problem gimme a sec

Why does Linux have to be so much more complicated? Anyway I suggest you redownload the game

The package on Ubuntu Software Center is very old.
You should get someone to create a more recent package, or compile it yourself.

I don't know if your saying its for work or calling me lazy

Why are you forced to use Linux? I use windows just fine

See this if you want to easily compile the latest Minetest version: http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3837

0.3 (from the software center) doesn't allow the use of mods. I think you can also use software center to remove that minetest. You can also keep it, it doesn't take much space and doesn't harm new installations.


You could/should try Calinou's solution. If it doens't work you can also try one of the following.

http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=54188#p54188

or this:
http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=51939#p51939
!!! cd celeron55-minetest-1db0334 ---> Look in your homefolder (filemanager) what the latest name is and use that name!!!

plz, just nvm.

All right

If you follow Calinou's link you need to open your terminal (under accessoires), copy the whole line from Calinou and paste it the terminal. Fill in your password and it will automatically install the latest minetest in your homefolder.

I most of the times use the latest version, most popular mods are frequently updated/based on the latest minetest version.

Edit: The latest version is 0.4.4 (and then the latest version of the 0.4.4 series). You can see it here:

https://github.com/celeron55/minetest

As you can see half an hour ago was the latest change.

Mods need to be in this folder, where topywo is your name, maybe 2232 (edit1) and 0f1d2c1 is also different for you):

/home/topywo/celeron55-minetest-0f1d2c1/mods/minetest

There must be a txt file in it like this:

mods_here.txt

How? --> like this:

Download the mods from the forum. They will appear, in a zipped form, here:

/home/topywo/Downloads

Double click them to extract them. You need to browse to the folder:

/home/topywo/celeron55-minetest-0f1d2c1/mods/minetest

and then leftclick on extract.

If the mod (folder) name you extracted has numbers/author names in it, rename them (rightclicking, select rename), to the 'simple/short mod name'.

If you have problems with a mod, post the error in the mod topic on the forum. The errors appear in the file debug.txt in your homefolder (for me). Copy and paste only the lines with ERROR in them (bottom part of the file). If debug.txt is too long, delete it, restart minetest and then copy paste the ERROR:

/home/topywo

Good luck!


Edit:
- to delete this version of minetest, just delete the folder (you will still have the libraries, but they can be usefull for newer versions of minetest).

Go to:

/home/topywo/celeron55-minetest-0f1d2c1/bin

and doubleclick minetest

But when I did that, it said 4.3. Should I uninstall 4.3 first??

I got it open :) Just gotta be smarter than the computer ._.

How many celeron55-minetest----- do you have in your /home/2232 folder?

If only one and if you used Calinous way of installing, it might only install 0.4.3. I didn't know that. I'll look into that.

edit: Calinous version doesn't look like it makes you install an older version.

edit1: Tried Calinous version out, it installs 0.4.4. It makes a 'minetest'-folder wihtout serial numbers.

edit2: typo

No, its worked. Its fine :)

Great, enjoy!

If you get bored, there are almost 600 (most still working) mods out here :-)

Actually, Windows is WAY more complicated that Linux. And Windows is buggy and virus-prone.

Don't use the version in the software center. Download and install one from the downloads page.
