Capture The Flag

Installation

Git

Capture the flag uses several submodules. Make sure to grab them all by cloning like this:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/MT-CTF/capturetheflag.git

(Using ssh to clone is recommended for developers/contributors)

ContentDB

Simply download the game with the ingame content browser. Note that this version may be slightly behind the git version, but it will be a little more stable.

Recommended Setup

• Hosting your server using the dummy backend.

For public servers:

• Storing rankings using the redis backend, all steps are required:
  • Install redis, luarocks, and luaredis (Ubuntu)
    • sudo apt install luarocks redis
    • sudo luarocks install luaredis
  • Add ctf_rankings to your secure.trusted_mods
    • Make sure you don't add any malicious mods to your server. It is possible they can breach the sandbox through ctf_rankings when it is a trusted mod
  • Run something like this when starting your server: (cd minetest/worlds/yourworld && redis-server) | <command to launch your minetest server>
    • If you run your Minetest server using a system service it is recommended to run redis-server on a seperate service, with the Minetest service depending upon it

Starting a game (GUI instructions)

• Create a new singlenode world
• Turn on Enable Damage and Host Server, turn off Creative Mode, memorize your port
• Click Host Game, a round should automatically start as soon as you join in
• Players on your LAN can join using your local IP and the port you memorized
