Here is an installer i have made for ubuntu:
Here are the sources for each file

launcher.sh: http://pastebin.com/veCsaYVt

fresh.sh: http://pastebin.com/2jqGnELd

modremove.sh: http://pastebin.com/tyS8pGGP

worldbackup.sh: http://pastebin.com/UggTSjRr

worldrestore.sh: http://pastebin.com/KbhNXFfg

confstore.sh: http://pastebin.com/CATeRuVs

confrestore.sh: http://pastebin.com/G4LjRvjj

Features

-A simple text main launcher menu better than minecrafts
-Simple Debug.txt reader in terminal
-Automate most things (currently installs packages, downloads source, unpacks, makes dir, and then builds with automatic cpu core detection)
-Can play game and host server from launcher
-Backs up and restore worlds
-Can back up and restore configuration files
-Can remove all mods that aren't default
-Will (try) to include mod repo from sfan5's mod repository that can automatically install mods with a simple 1,3, 4, 5 type of format input
-Will try to make it so there is a front end for this (gtk/cgi)

~THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE:

-figure out a way to use double digits for input/until then stuck with using letters after the number 9
-automated .conf creator
-create desktop icon on install
-mod repo/cache STARTED
-fresh install needs to detect if there is directory; if there is delete and reinstall
-able to delete backed up worlds
-able delete world in minetest directory
-mod pack downloads (github?) STARTED
-patch download and make the game patch for you

it is basic..but i will soon make it fail safe

Known issues:
-100% cpu usage

Nice

jordan4ibanez wrote:fresh installer (deletes everything but map)

I have a process (not script) that I'm tinkering with and it I have the following steps

1) Back up the current entire directory
2) Rename the current directory
3) Install the package
4) copy world & data from the previous install into new directory (carries world and mods over)
5) copy minetest.conf from previous install into new directory
5) Run bin/minetestserver and verify all the mods work correctly

Looks cool! I think it would work also with other debian based distros too.

Maybe you could use

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: cp $HOME/minetest/misc/minetest.desktop $HOME/Desktop/Minetest.desktop

or even

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: test -f ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/user-dirs.dirs && source ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/user-dirs.dirs ... cp $HOME/minetest/misc/Minetest.desktop ${XDG_DESKTOP_DIR:-$HOME/Desktop}/Minetest.desktop

will hopefully be making one for python so i can include gtk :)

by **jordan4ibanez** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 21:43

should i keep this as bash?

by **cosarara97** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 22:00

I think python is better

by **JSonic** » Sun Mar 04, 2012 08:49

Python. GUI would be good and (almost) every linux user has it preinstalled, so that's not a problem.

by **Hackeridze** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 09:17

Python sucks. GUI sucks. It's should be simple(like now).

by **Hackeridze** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 09:23

Maybe you should remove "-DRUN_IN_PLACE=1" and compile minetest in ~/.minetest/sources and copy(after compiling) game and server binaries into ~/.minetest/bin.

Also add "Run game" and "Run server" lines in menu.

I didn't try your Installer, but I'm thinking the two latest builds might require some shifting of things due to the new directory structure. I've outlined my changes in another thread and it took a few minutes to migrate to the latest build once I determined the differences.
