* Save jpg or png named as player's index to the players folder of the world to change player's icon on map (index is a number assigned for use with ajax when $show_player_names_enable is false). The index can be found in the player's yml file generated by generator.py.
* Other programs (or echo command) can send signals to generator.py via signals.txt in same folder (which will be deleted after read, so must be created by same user/group)
* to maintain stability of your text editor, save the file, close it, then move/copy it to the directory (or save it as something else then rename it to signals.txt).

* Keep in mind that gameid (in game.conf in a subgame folder, and world.mt in a world folder) is NOT case-sensitive: for example, minetest_game has the gameid 'Minetest' (first letter capitalized) but the worlds generated by Minetest client have the gameid 'minetest' (lowercase) in their world.mt
Yet somehow for everything else, gameid in world.mt is the name of the game FOLDER (NOT the name variable in the folder's game.conf)

then switch user to the one that will run minetestserver
