it tell me that I don't have the permission

Don't put your Minetest folder in Program Files, if you're on Windows.
If you're on Linux, if you use a packaged version, put the mods in .minetest (in your home folder, you might have to create the folder) then in "mods" folder.

i can find the mod folder in .minetest

i create the folder , put a door mod , but i don't work
any suggestion ?

There are already doors in the official game.
Also, I wasn't specific enough (sorry) - mods should be in "~/.minetest/mods/minetest", then you put the mod folders there (they should contain init.lua and all that stuff).

it still not work
and everything is done like you said

Access permission errors are the video driver. Try editing you .conf with a open gl as your selected driver. This error has nothing to do with mod or modding.

i don't understand
can you explain

by **Menche** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 21:52

Uh, a permission error could be related to trying to install a mod where you don't have write privilege, for example /usr where the game is installed.

Every time I've encountered it that was the problem.

ok , and what must I do ?

by **Death Dealer** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 13:23

try putting this into your minetest.conf file

video_driver = opengl

by **fullbuster93** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 22:34

done , but nothing change

can someone who use ubuntu make a video to show how to add mod ? ( prefering ubuntu 12.04 or 11.10 )

...are you using a packaged, or self-compiled version?
On a packaged version, put the mods in (you may have to create folders):
~/.minetest/mods/minetest/mod_folder_here/init.lua

I put the init.lua so you know where the mod files should be - they must be directly inside the mod folder..

by **fullbuster93** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 09:15

ok , i found it
its because i play in minimal and not in minetest

now , have someone a good mod for animals or mobs that work correctlly ?

by **Death Dealer** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 13:10

Yep Enderfreak works pretty well:D I like it because it's only one animal ATM.
