Mods not showing up in world config?

[Warrior4Christ]

Greetings, people.
So, I've recently installed Minetest, version 4.10.0. It runs fine, except for when I open doors, then it lags for some weird reason. Anyway, so I'm trying to install mods. I downloaded the mod I want (which I downloaded here.) and extracted the packages to Home/minetest/mods, as I read to do. But when I run Minetest and choose to configure my world...it doesn't show up. The same thing happens with texture packs, actually; I extract the texture pack files to Home/minetest/texture and it doesn't pick those up.

Am I moving the files to the wrong places? I've also tried moving the mod to /Home/minetest/games/minetest_game/mods, but that doesn't work either. :\

Thanks

Which OS?

If on Linux, mods are installed into `~/.minetest/mods' (notice the dot in `.minetest').

^ If you use a non portable build

I'm running elementaryOS Luna, which is based off of Ubuntu. And it is a non-portable build.

I tried moving the mod to ~.minetest/Mods, and it still doesn't work.

EDIT: Wait, it wouldn't work because the Mods folder was capitalized...I made it lowercase and it solved it. :D Thanks for your help.

(another) EDIT: Well, now, when I try to run the mods, it says that it can't load them, and checking debug.txt, it says: ERROR[main]: cannot open /home/myusername/.minetest/mods/mobs/init.lua: No such file or directory

OK, I found out that I need to change the mod's folder name to just "mobs", and I did, but it still won't, and debug.txt reports:

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

attempt to concatenate a nil value

What does that even mean?

EDIT: I just re-downloaded and re-installed the mod and now it works. :P Thanks
