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
$ minetestserver --worldname [worldname]

defaults to port 30000. Can I change that without a GUI?

EDIT: I'm stupid, I can just open up the minetest.conf file and specify the default port, can't I?

You can either set the 'port' value in minetest.conf, or use the --port option to minetestserver.

This actually helps taking screenys of a player. So, like I could be Rhys, and can be taking screenys of Rhys2's skin. Pretty good info Menche. :)

Use the port forwarding method. It's really not as hard as you may think. I've done the same thing, and it works perfectly.

Ok, so you need to find your router. Look in your control panel under network and internet or whatever it is, and you'll need to look at your network map. Then you'll click on your router, and it will pull up router settings. Depending on your router, you'll either go to the port forwarding or gaming tab, then input the information like in this picture from the original post:

You will need to find your personal IP to input by running CMD and typing in ipconfig. It's the IP v4 address.

If I create a server following these steps, will my server show up in Minetest's public server list? Or will it only be accessible if people type my ip address into "Address/Port" under the "Client" tab (running minetest 4.8/4.9)?

Open Minetest.exe . Close it. Go to the minetest folder.
7:42 PM - Bauglio: I think if you go to staples you could steal firmware from a fax machine that would run better than win10 does on any platform
7:42 PM - Bauglio: so fudge the stable build
7:43 PM - Bauglio: get the staple build

GO TO THE MINETEST ROOT FOLDER, OR TO THE FOLDER WHERE THERE IS A GAMES FOLDER, A MODS FOLDER, AND A BUNCH OF OTHER FOLDERS

THERE WILL BE A MINETEST.CONF

No, you don't need an invite to use IRC. However, the IRC is not always active, you may have to idle for some minutes or even hours to hear anyone talking. Also, it's "freenode". :)

This guide is useful for start a private server right? I mean that if I created a server falling this guide then I can play with my friend if I send she the address (that corresponds to the number next to Ipv4 in ipconfig) of the server and the port, only she and I, right? This isn't a public server right?
In this guide viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8924 , in step 3, there are codes of configuration in Minetest.conf, should I configure this or no because is a simple server, where there are only I and my friend and this server don't appair in public servers?
When I create my server and my friend enter on this, she can fly, interact, move fast, give, teleport and other things or should I give her this privs because I am the creator of this server?When i'll create my server I'll can have all privs, right? Sorry if you don't understand me well I'm Italian... Sorry! :)

Hey, I have created a server to play with my friend. I have did the port forwarding, with my IP address (IPv4) and with port 30000. I have did this (port forwarding and creation of my server) while I have did videochat with the friend who should enter to my server. She has tried to write in Client, in Address my Ip Address, and in port 30000 (my port). She has writed in password the password default that I send to she (In minetest.conf I have setted a password that all players who would to connect in my server should write) and she has click connect. Nothing. Every time that she tries to connect in the server, loaded, loaded, loaded... she tries to connect 10 times, from 2 days, and waited, waited, also 15 minutes trying to connect but nothing.... Now, how can she connect?!!!

Yeah, I know, but "minetest --server" won't take my commands.
I mean, I can type in commands, but I get no response...

Nevermind, just figured out how to do it.
If anyone else is wondering about this (which I doubt), you need to set your privileges in the auth.txt file (in the folder of your world).
