When I Try To Get Into Minetest It Wont Work. Here is a video showing what happens. i would love to play minetest so any help would be appreciated . http://youtu.be/uVO4aK9hDWM

We need some debug output. Either post the debug.txt as described here: http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=5073 or run minetest in cmd with --verbose and post the output here.

EDIT: oh, and maybe menu_clouds = false in minetest.conf helps, but thats just a workaround.

here is the contents of the debug.txt from my bin folder

Also i opened minetest.conf and there is no menu_clouds =

Yes, you need to add it yourself and set it to "false".

Ok, Thanks ill try that.

it didnt work

whoops. i think that is the debug from my other computer. the one from this computer is blank

Is there anything wrong with you OpenGL installation? Try running the program in Direct X instead. In the config file for Minetest, put the following line:
video_driver = direct3d9
Of course, shaders will not work with Direct X. That is a setback that will never be corrected.

Thanks, it worked. thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou.
now me and my brother can do 2 player on a home server.

NEW PROBLEM, when i run it in direct 3d it keeps crashing and saying (some exception: "Access violation". but when i run it in opengl i run into the same problem i had before and it wont open

Is your antivirus and/or firewall program blocking Minetest somehow? McAfee is capable of doing that.

thats not the problem INOCUDOM. i cant run it in opengl because my graphics card doesnt support it. and when i run it in direct 3d it says access violation. the games works for about 15 seconds before it crashes. also i forgot to mention earlier. when i go back to minetest 3.something it works fine

What version of Minetest are you using? You run Windows 7 64-Bit, so Fess's latest 64-bit build for Windows should work for you. The link to his latest build is below. Too bad nobody else is trying to help out here.

Fess's builds can use Direct X too, so in the config file for that Minetest build, put the following line:
video_driver = direct3d9
That should help you out.

Does anybody reading this know what an access violation is?

That works fine with windows (even in opengl). one problem though, all the sprites for the nodees show up incorrectly in my inventory. stone shows up as snow. wood shows up as water. if i have to i can go into the textures folder and redo everything but it would be extremely time consuming. i was just wondering if there is another 64 bit build for windows that would have all the textures fixed. thanks

Possible fix:
Open minetest.conf, add these lines:



Change 1920 and 1080 by your screen's width and height in pixels. This will set the game to use fullscreen, which fixed that bug for me on a netbook with Intel graphics on Windows 7.

Also, try updating your graphic drivers.

DID NOT WORK :(

also i just found out that when i am holding the object it shows up correctly when i place it it shows up correctly. but when it is in my inventory it does not work.

That is a glitch that will probably never be fixed. I have it too when I use Direct X.
