Minetest-c55
---------------
An InfiniMiner/Minecraft inspired game.
Copyright (c) 2010 Perttu Ahola <celeron55@gmail.com>
This is a development version:
------------------------------
- Don't expect it to work as well as a finished game will.
- Please report any bugs to me. That way I can fix them to the next release.
- debug.txt is useful when the game crashes.
Public servers:
---------------
kray.dy.fi :30000 (friend's server)
celeron.55.lt :30000 (my own server)
Controls:
---------
- See the in-game pause menu
Map directory:
--------------
- Map is stored in a directory, which can be removed to generate a new map.
- There is a command-line option for it: --map-dir
- As default, it is located in:
../map
- Otherwise something like this:
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\minetest\map
Linux: ~/.minetest/map
OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/minetest/map
Configuration file:
-------------------
- An optional configuration file can be used. See minetest.conf.example.
- Path to file can be passed as a parameter to the executable:
--config <path-to-file>
- Defaults:
- If built with -DRUN_IN_PLACE:
../minetest.conf
../../minetest.conf
- Otherwise something like this:
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\minetest\minetest.conf
Linux: ~/.minetest/minetest.conf
OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/minetest.conf
Command-line options:
---------------------
- Use --help
Compiling on GNU/Linux:
-----------------------
Install dependencies. Here's an example for Debian/Ubuntu:
$ apt-get install libirrlicht-dev cmake libbz2-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg8-dev libxxf86vm-dev
Download source, extract (this is the URL to the latest of source repository, which might not work at all times):
$ wget https://bitbucket.org/celeron55/minetest/get/tip.tar.gz
$ tar xf tip.tar.gz
$ cd minetest
Build a version that runs directly from the source directory:
$ cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1
$ make -j2
Run it:
$ cd bin
$ ./minetest
- Use cmake . -LH to see all CMake options and their current state
- If you want to install it system-wide (or are making a distribution package), you will want to use -DRUN_IN_PLACE=0
- You can build a bare server or a bare client by specifying -DBUILD_CLIENT=0 or -DBUILD_SERVER=0
- You can select between Release and Debug build by -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<Debug or Release>
- Note that the Debug build is considerably slower
Compiling on Windows:
- NOTE: Seems that the CMake build system produces executables that don't work
for many people. The old build system is still included, but it's not
documented anywhere.
- You need CMake, Irrlicht, Zlib and Visual Studio or MinGW
- you can get zlibwapi.lib from a file called zlib125dll.zip
- NOTE: Probably it will not work easily and you will need to fix some stuff.
- Steps:
- Start up the CMake GUI
- Select your compiler
- Hit "Configure"
- Set up some options and paths
- Hit "Configure"
- Hit "Generate"
- MSVC: Open the generated .sln and build it
MinGW: Browse to the build directory and run 'make'
