Minetest Split Screen Howto
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Want to run multiplayer split-screen Minetest on a single computer?
|
|
|
|
This repo shares our scripts for doing that as well as our controller setups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our Setup
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* A computer running Linux (we use Fedora).
|
|
* ... connected to television or other large screen.
|
|
* A standard keyboard/mouse setup (we use a Thinkpad bluetooth keyboard).
|
|
* A Logitech F310 wired game controller.
|
|
* A Logitech F710 wireless game controller.
|
|
|
|
(Other controllers should work too)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Brief Howto
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
1. Ensure controllers are in "X" mode (physical switch on the back).
|
|
2. Configure your controllers using xboxdrv (we do this at boot).
|
|
3. Log into IceWM desktop (Gnome, even on Xorg rather than Wayland does not work)
|
|
4. Run our `mt2.sh` script. It does the following:
|
|
* Launch two instances of minetest.
|
|
* Use "xinput" to configure a mouse/keyboard combo for each controller.
|
|
* Map each of the virual mouse/keyboards to one of the minetest windows.
|
|
* Resize the two windows side-by-side.
|
|
5. Use the regular keyboard/mouse to change usernames, select server, connect, etc.
