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)
