Collects media files from mods/games and puts them in a media directory, also creates an index.mth file in the MTHS format

collectstatic.sh

#!/bin/bash

###### Options ######
MINETESTDIR=/home/username/minetest
GAMENAME=minetest_game
WORLDDIR=none
MEDIADIR=./media
LEGACY_SYMLINKS=0

# When settings this up be aware that the Minetest client
# will send a POST request to index.mth. You need to configure
# your web server to serve the file on POST requests for this to work.

Depends on which cache I put it on, but the one I would like to use requires extensions as that's how it determines the cache policy to use.

Is it possible to have the hashed file + the index.mth on different servers? Or does the mht file have to be located in the same folder as all the files? This is also a problem since the ideal cache server doesn't allow POST operations (static file serving only).

Nope, both files need to be at the same path.

K thanks sfan5. Not perfect, but still will help offload the game server itself.

I made this as an alternative: https://github.com/ShadowNinja/mt_media_collector

I'd like to edit this a little and share - what license do you wish to detail please?
