Minetest Startup Helper[abandoned]

I am making a helpful launcher that performs common tasks that new users may find hard to do (like running a server without being in the level) for Minetest. THIS WORKS BUT IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT.
Linux version is coming.

Simply save the file to the bin folder in your minetest directory and run it instead of minetest.exe.

Click your OS.
Windows: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?v1snp6bmbxzhy6h (0.2)
Linux (not finished)

Command-line, at first it seems like it is a GUI like MC.

Could you convert it to a bash file?

I am new to bash, but trying is the only to do things so maybe, have not decided, but I am busy with Marktraceur over setting a server up for something.

Okay, I tried to do it on my own but bash does not have redirections like

:loop
goto loop

so I am stuck for now.

...what does it do? You should really add a feature list.

Bash is not crappy Windows commands, (sorry about that, pardon my French) you have to learn it fully to understand it.

I am pretty sure that if you open up the Windows batch file in a linux text editor you can get the general gist of it. You have to remember that the linux version is being scripted on a Windows computer using notepad, I can not test the file and have no idea if it works.

You can use a while loop:
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
while [ condition ]
do
   command1
   command2
   command3
done

You can use true as condition if you want an infinite loop:
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
while [ true ]
do
   command1
   command2
   command3
done

If you want to learn more about bash, just google...
