Can you post the error message in debug.txt? Also post this in the Towntest thread.

Sure. I wasn't sure what part so I got the part that I thought would be helpfull:

RockerGirl4Eva, don't extract as a new folder with WinRAR, open the archive (double clicking) and drag "towntest" into the mods directory, the git folder:

cornernote-minetest-towntest-7d37654

is irrelevant.

This seems to be a bug in the towntest mod.

I extract all my mods right to the minetest mods minetest folder and they all seem to work just fine the way ive been doing that...so why would this one be any different?

PilzAdam:

So i'm not doing anything wrong?

Minetest can't detect two folders in a mod.

Like /mods/lol-a3gds43/lol/init.lua that will cause an error.

This: /mods/lol/init.lua won't.

You have a folder that needs to be removed.

Thats wrong. There is a modpack.txt file in towntest folder.

So PilzAdam am I doing anything wrong with this mod? I wanna make sure it's not me...cause if Jordach is right wich I can't figure out what he's talking about (sorry) I want to do it right...is it the mod or me?

Alright thanks......

Other people have got this error(including me) and apparently the onlt way to fix it is opening \cornernote-minetest-towntest-7d37654\towntest\init.lua and changing thw 100000000 (or something) to a lower number, like 10000. Not sure how this impacts the mod.

I just tried wat you said, when I went to open init.lua it said this page couldn't be found...could that be my problem?

by **qwrwed** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 20:42

What did you open it with? Did it not actually open? notepad and notepad++ can both be used to open .lua documents.

That line used to be used to cleanup stray npcs, but it's not used now.

by **cornernote** » Sat Oct 13, 2012 01:05

I removed the line and comited the change.

Right click it and click "Open with" and then select "Notepad".
