ENLIVEN is a subgame for minetest with the goals of providing immersion and lessons for humanity.
The primary goals of the installer are to install ENLIVEN, and to automatically install Minetest with a usable minetest.conf (for improved graphics).
## Primary Features of EnlivenMinetest Project
* Server installer for ENLIVEN on linux server (Ubuntu so far)
* Client installer for single-player ENLIVEN, including on Windows
* automatically install Minetest client with a usable minetest.conf (for improved graphics)
The [ENLIVEN project](https://github.com/expertmm/EnlivenMinetest) (aka EnlivenMinetest) includes tools for installing and maintaining the server and client for internet and LAN use, and now includes the mtanalyze (formerly minetest-chunkymap) project which includes many tools including chunkymap. The server and client are just the Minetest server and client repackaged (or just web installer scripts in the case of the server), and therefore 100% compatible with other copies of Minetest server and client of the same version--including using other subgames, which client will download from servers as usual.

DISCLAIMERS:
* Please read the Sources and License section of this document. You must agree to the licenses mentioned in order to use and copy this program.
* Any script code related to redis has not been successfully tested.
* Make sure you convert your world to leveldb and place it in your server's worlds folder $HOME/.minetest/worlds/, as this set of scripts hasn't been tested with any other database nor worlds folder location, and nightly backup scripts cater to leveldb.
## How to use:
### Windows Client:
Click "Releases" for the installer, which has the singleplayer and multiplayer client for ENLIVEN.
* alternate download site is [axlemedia.net](http://www.axlemedia.net/index.php?htmlref=tutoring.html "Axle Media")

* is able to run ENLIVEN subgame in singleplayer mode without any changes
### Server:
EnlivenMinetest project assists you in setting up ENLIVEN subgame and provides scripts to run it on minetestserver as current user (must be sudoer).
Some of the included scripts help install and manage your git version of Minetest Server on Ubuntu Server or various *buntu flavors (a gui distro neither required nor recommended for minetestserver running ENLIVEN). See also https://github.com/expertmm/minetest-chunkymap for a map non-redis servers, and some offline minetest management tools.

* Recommend your users use the binary installer (Windows client) from "Releases" at https://github.com/expertmm/EnlivenMinetest/releases or the alternate site above to install, otherwise installation requires a good minetest.conf downloaded such as from the winclient/launcher folder and placed in their minetest folder. The one here has better graphics (opengl 3.0 shaders, smooth lighting).
### mtanalyze
* mtanalyze is a set of tools including a live map for Minetest servers and singleplayer if using LevelDB
* for more information, see README.md in mtanalyze folder.
* bump Python requirement to 3 (no more testing is planned to be done on python2) and use python3 binary when calling py files from scripts
* (chunkymap-generator.bat, pythoninfo.py) if using Windows, check for various versions of Python3 and warn if fails (no longer check for Python2)
* (minetestinfo.py) account for Minetest 0.4.16 arch naming difference: minetest_game (from minetest-data package) becomes minetest (still check for minetest_game if minetest not present in minetest/games since 0.4.16 repack 3 via deb from Debian via Ubuntu still uses the folder name minetest_game)

* added mock_tnt: doesn't destroy blocks, can coexist with regular tnt mod (all tnt is replaced with mock_tnt if tnt is disabled). This mod is helpful for when multiplayer servers have tnt disabled but players have acquired 'unknown item' (tnt:tnt) as loot. The Unknown Explosive says 'unknown item' on it, as a seemless replacement :)

(The purpose of minetest_userscript_localENLIVEN_server_only.vbs is to make sure the user only uses the hostname localENLIVEN, however this only changes the default, and cannot be enforced in any way as far as I know without recompiling the client.)
## Known issues:

* ENLIVEN Windows binary release installer should be signed via a code signing license to avoid browser warnings and possible issues with virus scanners (NOTE: Squirrel.Windows has signing available such as via:
* minetest_userscript_localENLIVEN_server_only.vbs logon script in network folder only works if you make C:\games\Minetest writable to Authenticated Users, in order for minetest.conf to be created via this script (feel free to offer comments on how to avoid making the entire Minetest folder writable to Authenticated Users [I haven't experimented with which of the files and subfolders can be set to do not inherit])
* minetest_userscript_localENLIVEN_server_only.vbs does not read the recommended minetest.conf, so it echoes the lines manually. Ideally it would analyze the recommended one and change the server settings.
* minetest_game mods and modpacks are owned by root in the end, for some reason. This may cause serious problems on your server. Change the owner to your current user.
* (minetestoffline.py) (status:closed reason:no solution) assumes name specified in file is same as id (filename)
## Planned Features
* add NPCs (possibly mobs via https://github.com/Bremaweb/adventuretest/tree/master/mods/mobs )
