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.
* see also EnlivenMinetest/etc/game-install-enliven-testing.sh

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.

The installer script (in the "etc/change_world_name_manually_first" folder) downloads the git versions of all of the mods to the ENLIVEN folder which will be placed in your minetest games folder (one of the two folders listed below, otherwise fails)--but change the world name to the name of your world first.
* (optionally) place the ENLIVEN folder in the games folder here into the games folder on your server such as:
/usr/local/share/minetest/games/
(If you're not using the git version of Minetest on Ubuntu Server, try something like:
/usr/share/games/minetest/games/ )
(If you're not using the git version of Minetest on Ubuntu Server, try something like:
/usr/share/games/minetest/games/ )
although the installer script should create the initial version of the minetest.conf in there (NOTE: there is a different version of minetest.conf for clients, as described below)
* BEFORE running game-install-enliven.sh, make sure you FIRST CHANGE the value after "MT_MYWORLD_NAME="
Do not expect the mods from game-install-enliven-testing.sh to work. Also, do not run the file directly -- instead, paste the variables (before backup process) in game-install-enliven.sh into a terminal window, then paste the contents of game-install-enliven-test.sh

* 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 :)

* (2017-02-06) Added optional mods for migrating from cme and from tsm_pyramids to spawners (should allow mods that depend on cme to be installed, and use mobs instead, though no mods in ENLIVEN are known to require cme currently)

* The network folder contains some stuff for networks, which is usually only useful for using Minetest in a network cafe or school.
(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.)

* LICENSE.txt should note correct author of header and anything else specified
* Mods in Mods,WIP need LICENSE and README with author, and removal of default in depends.txt where not dependent on default
* Preciousness in trm_compassgps has not been audited
* Installer script does not copy certain stuff to the config files due to permissions unless runs as root (the rest is designed to run as sudoer, and use sudo only as needed)
* 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 )
* add https://github.com/minetest-mods/smartfs ?
* Do not allow teleporting to travelnet teleporters in an area protected from you by protection mod (even if the source teleporter is yours), but allow teleporting to areas where you cannot modify (such as advanced area protection areas where, by default, use is allowed and modify is not). Locked travelnet will not be used by this mod--instead, this less-cumbersome change is planned.
