07:29 rdococ Welcome to the silent ghost town of Minetestia
07:30 rdococ Seriously, nobody's talked in ages. probably people's sleeptimes :P
07:30 ANAND Mid-day for me :)
07:31 * ANAND eats Meseconium for lunch
07:33 rdococ I think mesecons are made of mese, and the -con is because it adds wires that -connect things
07:33 ANAND quite possible
07:34 rdococ Evidence: Mese block is made of mese, not mesecons, conducts like mesecon wire, and neither one needs special preparation or conversion into meseconium
07:34 ANAND true

11:39 dustfinger I am brand new and am just working through the minetest.conf. how does rollback work? If I sent enable_rollback_recording to true and one of the players accidentally ruins one of their creations how would I roll back that creat? Do you specify an amount of time to rollback and then it just puts the whole world back say 10 min?
11:40 lumberJ joined #minetest
11:44 sfan5 you can roll back actions of a specific player until a specific point the past
11:50 troller joined #minetest
11:51 dustfinger sfan5: And that point is picked by specifying a time I assume? That sounds like it is worth enabling then.
11:53 dustfinger The minetest.conf has a name for an admin user. If I played with that user all of the time will I still be able to play normally, or will the admin features affect the gameplay? In other words, can i just always run as an admin so that when I need to use those features I don't have to sign out first, or should I have a seperate user for admin that I would not normally play as?
11:53 ANAND dustfinger: here's the syntax: /rollback <player> [seconds]
11:54 ANAND where the time is assumed to be 60 seconds if not explicitly specified
11:56 dustfinger ANAND: thanks.
11:56 ANAND happy to help

12:20 dustfinger I am running ubuntu as the server. I downloaded a minetest game (lord of the test) and decompressed it in /usr/share/games/minetest/games/. minetestserver is not in roots path. I guess it is not recommended to run minetestserver as root? When I try to run it as my minetest user it can't open /var/log/minetest/minetest.log do to permission denied: https://pastebin.com/ByQsxTuW. How should I be running mintetest? Was
12:20 dustfinger /usr/share/games/minetest/games the correct place to put my chosen game?
12:22 coyote yes, it's not recommended to run minetest as root because 3th-party mods can contains viruses.
12:27 FabulousKana joined #minetest
12:27 dustfinger coyote: Good to know. so how do I run the server on ubuntu as none root? Should I just update the log so that it is owned by the minetest group I created?
12:27 dustfinger Then run as minetest user?
12:27 coyote $ adduser minetest
12:28 coyote minetest games and mods can be also placed in ~/.minetest
12:28 dustfinger coyote: Ahh, okay I will do that.
12:30 dustfinger coyote: The folder is empty, should I just create ~/.minetest/games/ to palce the games in?
12:30 coyote yes
12:30 coyote just create it
12:30 dustfinger Will I need to create other sub directories other than games? or will the server just create what is needed after that?
12:31 coyote no, not necessarily
