11:19 * PilzAdam is away: Busy
11:33 * PilzAdam is back (gone 00:14:09)
11:40 celeron55 PilzAdam: kill your away messages
11:41 celeron55 that is abuse of IRC
11:42 PilzAdam sry
11:43 VanessaE celeron55: your input is needed here:  http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=39678
11:44 VanessaE (namely, if you can explain what was "ugly" as mentioned in the source code)
11:44 thexyz VanessaE: just make it optionable
11:45 VanessaE thexyz: um.
11:45 VanessaE dod YOU read the whole thread?
11:45 VanessaE did*
11:45 thexyz yes, i did
11:45 thexyz now make it and send the patch
11:45 thexyz somewhere…
11:45 VanessaE then you should know that "make it optional" has already been discussed, and a patch already exists there in the first post.
11:46 VanessaE but c55's input is not requested for the patch - it is requested for a subjective comment he left in the original source code.  What in particular was ugly, so that we can work to avoid it?
11:47 thexyz that's not the patch what will be accepted
11:47 thexyz which*
11:48 VanessaE let's let celeron55 decide what will or won't be accepted.
11:48 VanessaE and besides, again, we just want to know what "ugly" meant.
11:48 thexyz ok, just guessing
11:50 VanessaE and knowing how c55 is trying to take a break from the game, I simply would not have asked the question here, but he is the only one who can answer it - lest we all learn to both time travel and read minds.
12:03 celeron55 the problem with mipmaps is when you use them at the regular 16x textures
12:03 celeron55 they start to downscale the resolution too early
12:04 celeron55 you can see "borders" at where the scaling changes
12:04 celeron55 try rails for example
12:04 celeron55 (because they have clear single pixel detail)
12:05 VanessaE right, we've seen that happen in our tests
12:05 celeron55 that is what the ugly refers to; and it was not initiated by me but rather somebody else and i just threw the code in
12:05 VanessaE however, that isn't happening with AF+MM alone, at least on my box.  Add in bi-/tri-linear filtering and it does.
12:05 celeron55 go blame whoever that was
12:05 VanessaE not blaming you :-)  just trying to understand the comment :-)
12:06 VanessaE celeron55: at any rate the intent is to turn that 3 line change into a patch that we can submit to you later via github or so.
12:07 VanessaE (with options to turn it all off, etc)
12:14 Calinou "you can see "borders" at where the scaling changes" < and this is why we have linear mipmapping
12:14 Calinou minetest used "nearest" mipmapping prior to 0.3; the mipmapping can be smoothed by using "linear" mipmapping
12:14 celeron55 i guess that is the default of irrlicht
12:15 VanessaE celeron55: also, on my system, fwiw, AF+MM, with or without bi-/trilinear has no effect on performance.
12:35 VanessaE I have added excerpts of the above discussion to the forum thread managing this.

18:26 sapier1 hello, is anyone here who knows how collision handling is done and supposed to behave?
