01:33 OldCoder Hello. Has the core been changed to access player files differently?
01:34 OldCoder For example, is any sort of readdir loop used?
01:38 kahrl joined #minetest-dev
01:42 ShadowNinja OldCoder: No, not recently.  The way it does it is very ugly though (it involves loading every file at startup and for each player on each save).
01:42 OldCoder ShadowNinja, behavior seems to have changed very oddly. No request for investigation but comment on the following...
01:42 OldCoder I had backup copies of the player files named bacon.old in the same folder
01:43 OldCoder So MissMarple was backed up to MissMarple.old etc.
01:43 OldCoder Starting recently, changes made in-game were written to the *.old files instead of the main player files
01:43 OldCoder Is this comprehensible?
01:44 ShadowNinja OldCoder: Yes.  It doesn't care about the file name.  It checks all files for their name= line.  (Because some OSes have case-insensitive filesystems and player names are case-sensitive)
01:44 OldCoder Ah!!
01:44 OldCoder Very well
01:45 OldCoder For some reason this didn't cause problems before
01:45 OldCoder Thanks
01:45 ShadowNinja OldCoder: Must have randomly stumbled on the other file first before.
01:45 OldCoder Yep
01:45 ShadowNinja (The correct one that it)
01:45 OldCoder I added safety code to my startup scripts
01:46 OldCoder If the player files seem to have been corrupted due to crashes, they get reset using the backups
01:46 OldCoder I'll just move the backups to another folder

12:41 Megaf I'm quite happy with it
12:48 proller__ 0 players and 0 mods ?
12:50 * Megaf gets a pile of Raspberry Pis an throws at proller__
12:51 * proller__ defends with odroid
12:51 * sfan5 meows at proller__
12:53 * Megaf gets his ODroid U3 and throws at proller__
12:54 proller__ you can serve 30-40 players on odroid without lags and with mods on <censored> ;)
12:55 Megaf proller__: are you sure?
12:55 proller__ yes
12:56 Megaf My ODroid start to lag with 9+ players
12:56 proller__ yes
12:56 proller__ my works with 20 players ok
12:56 proller__ but your faster
12:57 Megaf I absolutely hate this 09:56:29: ERROR[ServerThread]: Server::ProcessData(): Cancelling: No player for peer_id=76

15:57 proller sapier, you wrote code without trying to run it
15:57 sapier blahblahblah
15:57 sapier I wrote code for a server not for a pocket calculator like pi true ;-P
15:57 proller you dont know what you doing
15:58 sapier but you the one saving 16 bit in a 8 bit variable do? ;)
15:59 proller wat?
15:59 sapier check commit logs a few weeks ago
15:59 proller only one way to save minetest - remove commit priv from you
16:00 proller show line
16:00 sapier to get a lot of prolerish while ( x < 10 ) commits which fix it for exactly your machine?
16:01 proller what?
16:06 Calinou “// If node blocks camera position don't move y to heigh” in camera.cpp. WTF? two typos in one line?

16:23 rubenwardy Any reason why "minetest.exe --worldname nbe_test --name player1 --password pass --go" won't load the nbe_test world, and instead loads the first world alphabetically?
16:23 Bhima_ joined #minetest-dev
16:31 sapier rba is the pull request it's latest version?
16:31 sapier rubenwardy: I guess that's not gonna be very helpfull but I'd bet on a bug ;-)
16:31 rubenwardy Can someone try to reproduce?
16:33 RealBadAngel sapier, https://github.com/minetest-technic/item_tweaks
16:34 sapier rubenwardy: can you post a console log somewhere?
16:34 ShadowNinja rubenwardy: --worldname is server-only.
16:35 rubenwardy so there is no way to do it
16:36 sapier ShadowNinja: I don't think so, at least the parameter itself isn't
16:37 kaeza using an old build, but can reproduce it
16:37 kaeza it loads whatever is in `world' setting
16:38 rubenwardy selected_world_path  ?
16:38 kaeza err... `selected_world_path'
16:38 rubenwardy inb4 XD
16:38 kaeza ninja'd :P
16:39 sapier well if the gui is shown that will override it of course
16:40 kaeza does --go count as "showing the GUI"?
16:40 rubenwardy --go skips the main menu
16:40 sapier hmm I don't know I usually either use minetestserver OR gui (minetest)
16:41 rubenwardy I want to start a singleplayer game from the command line
16:41 rubenwardy I guess I should just start a server client pair for now
16:42 sapier well I guess I didn't know about that usecase on switching mainmenu to lua, I'm gonna fix it
16:42 kaeza rubenwardy, coding some kind of frontend?
16:42 werwerwer joined #minetest-dev
16:43 rubenwardy Adding a button in NBE to run the mod in Minetest
16:43 kaeza ah, useful :)
16:43 rubenwardy The folder creation support in C++ is a bit crap
16:43 rubenwardy this is my current code: https://gist.github.com/rubenwardy/c5c91429110e7d63bdf7
16:44 rubenwardy I don't want to use boost
16:45 kaeza and not portable from what I can see
16:45 rubenwardy It works on Linux and Windows
16:46 kaeza >mkdir.append("\\worlds\\");
16:46 rubenwardy \ (ie directory\path.txt) works in Windows and Linux
16:46 rubenwardy / (ie directory/path.txt) only works in Linux
16:50 ShadowNinja sapier: I believe it's only used with --server.
16:50 ShadowNinja sapier: It should probably be read always though.
16:50 ShadowNinja sapier: Or whenever --go is passed.
16:51 rubenwardy I hate \ in file systems. It is SO ugly
16:54 BlockMen joined #minetest-dev
16:58 sapier ShadowNinja: I think it's a minor change, even if it did never work that way it's worth adding give me a few minutes
17:06 sapier rubenwardy: could you check #1319 works for you too?
17:06 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/1319 -- Add support for directly starting a world by name from command line by sapier

17:18 sapier1 joined #minetest-dev
17:34 RealBadAngel farming mod's bread texture has 1 semi transparent pixel in it, so it is broken while wielded or used in item entity
17:34 RealBadAngel should i make a pull for it or i can just commit a fix?
17:38 ShadowNinja RealBadAngel: Just push a fix, no need for review as long as it only changes that one pixel and is a bug.
17:46 BlockMen https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=9229
17:46 BlockMen ^ maybe we should move it to the bottom again?
17:46 RealBadAngel also screwdriver is using hacky_swap_node instead of core.swap_node
17:46 RealBadAngel can i push that too?
17:47 BlockMen RealBadAngel, sure
17:48 lolol joined #minetest-dev
17:58 ShadowNinja Is it?  I thought I fixed that.
17:59 ShadowNinja RealBadAngel: https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/blob/master/mods/screwdriver/init.lua#L119
18:05 RealBadAngel ah yes, i have it fixed on my copy, havent noticed you already did the same
18:05 RealBadAngel so ok
18:18 rubenwardy Another bug: if you start a client with --worldname world --go, it doesn't work. You have to supply --user --password as well
18:19 sapier1 if this wasn't different anytime before I'd not consider this to be a bug
18:30 sapier1 left #minetest-dev
18:33 sapier joined #minetest-dev
18:35 ShadowNinja sapier: Wouldn't "singleplayer" and "" make most sense?
18:37 sapier I'm not sure, next time someone complains why doesn't server start
18:37 rubenwardy I hate it when software tells me that my name is Rubenwardy not rubenwardy
18:37 sapier but if there's a majority for using it the change is minor
18:37 rubenwardy woops

19:23 scientistnik joined #minetest-dev
19:25 sapier RealBadAngel: I tried https://github.com/minetest-technic/item_tweaks I like it. What about adding it to minimal and default? (at least if we can't get it to builtin)
19:26 VanessaE I told him he should do that
19:37 dsimon RealBadAngel, minor indentation problem on https://github.com/minetest-technic/item_tweaks/blob/master/item_drop.lua#L420
19:37 Bhima__ joined #minetest-dev
19:55 diemartin joined #minetest-dev
20:01 BlockMen "default" is frozen, sapier
20:03 proller joined #minetest-dev
20:03 sapier if it's added to minimal default has to follow ;-)
20:05 BlockMen no? minimal is not frozen, default is
20:05 BlockMen *minetest_game
20:06 sapier everything beeing frozen can be unfrozen in case there's will to do
20:06 VanessaE put it in builtin
20:06 VanessaE it's too useful a feature not to give to everyone
20:07 VanessaE on a different note:
20:07 BlockMen sapier, so we gonna freeze and unfreeze things daily now?
20:07 VanessaE is there some way yet to force one mapgen-based mod to always run before another?
20:07 BlockMen or just depending on mood?
20:07 VanessaE have we not fixed that yet?
20:08 BlockMen VanessaE, doesnt it work with soft depending?
20:08 sapier BlockMen: we haven't done a feature freeze for core for about half a year now how do you think we freeze daily?
20:09 VanessaE BlockMen: nope.
20:09 BlockMen sapier, im talking about minetest_game which is PERMANENTLY frozen
20:09 VanessaE BlockMen: that only ensures the mod is loaded first, but mapgen hooks are not re-ordered by that
20:09 BlockMen VanessaE, ic
20:10 sapier anything permanent is equivalent to dead ... well I'd not have a problem with declaring minetest_game dead and start a minetest_game2
20:10 sapier imho that'd be only a syntactical difference
20:11 VanessaE BlockMen: I need to ensure that snow biomes mod's mapgen hooks always run before mine, no matter what, no if's, and's or but's
20:11 sapier but I did only suggest to do it that way as a point to discuss about
20:11 BlockMen i was always against the death of minetest_game, but it was decided to be dead, so it should stay as that now
20:11 BlockMen if you want minetst_game2 use _next, it kinda is that
20:11 VanessaE sapier: can't we just agree that freezing minetest_game against any and all changes was a bad idea and open it up for further, light development and small improvements?
20:12 BlockMen no, lets it frozen for now. this opinion hpping around here sucks
20:14 VanessaE no.
20:14 VanessaE it was a stupid idea to freeze it.
20:14 sapier to be honest I don't really care how it's done but imho not having any evolving official game is a mistake ... if this is minetest_next or minetest_game or siegfriedotto_game isn't of any interest to me ;-)
20:15 BlockMen VanessaE, reread the locks WHY it was frozen
20:15 BlockMen *especially c55 thoughts on it
20:15 VanessaE BlockMen: it was frozen because of arguments and politics, nothing more
20:15 VanessaE I'm not gonna bullshit about it
20:15 sapier so blockmen if you get support for declaring minetest_next to be official I'd be fine with it too but you'll have to face same issues PIlzAdam had to
20:17 BlockMen minetest_game/an official game was dropped because there were too many opinion on what should be added an what not
20:17 BlockMen and that will not change if you call it _next,_game or _w/e
20:17 VanessaE likeI said, arguments and politics.
20:19 BlockMen why has everything be to discussed AFTER something has be done?
20:19 BlockMen when i tried to keep _game open nearly noone said anything
20:19 BlockMen and now everyone claims it has to be keept open
20:19 sapier BlockMen that's annoying I know but that's the usual way
20:19 VanessaE BlockMen: like I said twice now, let's just agree that freezing it was a stupid idea, un-freeze it, and resume developing on it
20:19 VanessaE slowly and gradually
20:19 VanessaE little things here and there.
20:19 BlockMen no, it has to stop
20:19 sapier It wont BlockMen
20:19 sapier no matter how I agree to you but it wont gonna happen
20:20 BlockMen sapier, you can help an let this down for now
20:20 BlockMen im not gonna do this discussion again
20:20 BlockMen im for keeping it frozen for now!
20:21 sapier and what's your suggestion how to continue?
20:21 sapier just saying no isn't an option
20:21 BlockMen as said now: including chosen games within next release
20:21 BlockMen https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&amp;t=9103
20:23 sapier Ok do you open a forum threat for games to apply for it? of course license of those mods has to be compatible to minetest so at least lgpl 2.1 compatible
20:23 sapier better wtfpl
20:23 sapier thread
20:23 cheapie joined #minetest-dev
20:23 sapier but a little bit of threat wouldn't harm too ;-)
20:24 BlockMen sapier, umm..."Declare your game to be ready to be bundled with Minetest"
20:24 sapier I suggest defining some minimum set of requirements for a game too, e.g. own icon, own background, significantly different
20:24 sapier we don't need hundreds of games with only one different node
20:25 BlockMen "We will find a way to pick a couple of games to the next Minetest release (or the one after that; soon anyway) and get all possible Minetest packages to include the recommended bunch of games in a default install option."
20:25 BlockMen that means chosen games are included
20:25 BlockMen so you example game not ;)
20:25 BlockMen *+r
20:26 sapier no if we do so we need a ruleset for everyone to be transparent why a mod was added and why not
20:26 sapier if we don't do it that way it's gonna end up in endless discussions without any result
20:26 dsimon terminology question
20:26 dsimon a "game" in this sense is a collection of mods?
20:26 dsimon plus an icon and some other meta?
20:27 BlockMen ask celeron55 how he wants to chose the games
20:28 BlockMen games should IMO be more than just collections of existing mods
20:28 BlockMen else you could drop games at all and publish modspacks
20:28 BlockMen *-s
20:29 dsimon hm
20:29 dsimon so are mods generally copied between repos?
20:29 dsimon e.g. common and minetest_game largely overlap
20:29 sapier yes
20:30 dsimon where does primary development of a given mod happen?
20:30 sapier because most game authors slightly modify mods
20:30 dsimon ah, hm
20:31 dsimon apologies for just jumping into the middle of this, I feel like Donny from The Big Lebowski :-)
20:31 dsimon has there been any thought to organizing game-specific mod changes in a more specific structure?
20:31 dsimon e.g. a game wanting to change some small part of a mod would only include that change in its repo, rather than the entire mod with the change applied
20:32 sapier BlockMen: celeron already specified some points games have to comply with but imho he's been a little bit unprecise ... no matter the direction is almost same. I suggest dropping minimal as well as minetest_game from release builds and only add the chosen mods
20:33 BlockMen sapier, i agree with you suggestion
20:33 BlockMen *+r
20:33 BlockMen damn ...always missing a letter
20:34 BlockMen *wait, what?
20:34 BlockMen mods?
20:34 sapier but there's another point we have to discuss, if we don't have an official game, we basically declare mods to be deprecated
20:34 BlockMen you mean games
20:34 sapier yes I meant games
20:34 sapier noone can create a mod without an official game
20:35 BlockMen hmm...but minimal should be droped for sure
20:35 sapier minimal is required for development, you can't do anything with it
20:35 BlockMen you can take minetest_game instead of minimal
20:36 BlockMen noone develops mods based on minimal
20:36 vifino joined #minetest-dev
20:36 sapier then minetest_game has to be merged to minetest
20:36 BlockMen yes
20:36 sfan5 no
20:36 sfan5 use submodules
20:37 sapier define "submodules"
20:37 sfan5 http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Tools-Submodules
20:37 sapier do I have to do two git clones using them?
20:37 sfan5 no
20:37 sfan5 do git clone --recursve
20:37 sfan5 recursive*
20:37 dsimon or run "git submodule update --init" after a clone
20:37 sapier well then it's not an option
20:38 sfan5 why not?
20:38 BlockMen so its not included in zip download then?
20:38 BlockMen as submodule
20:38 sfan5 I'm not sure
20:38 sapier because I already know how often I'm gonna be annoyed because of having forgotten to do so
20:38 dsimon sapier, how often do you make new clones?
20:39 sapier anytime I try a clean build ... at least once a week
20:39 dsimon though, otoh, one also has to do a submodule update after pulling or changing branches, potentially...
20:39 dsimon if the references change
20:39 proller lol
20:39 proller sapier, git clean -ffdx
20:40 sapier proller I'm usually very happy to have to do all the work again I forgot to merge because it's been hidden by some insane gitignore rule
20:40 werwerwer_ joined #minetest-dev
20:40 proller loosing your changes is good
20:41 sapier well loosing your useless comments would be to but that's wont gonna happen ... by the way did you find your missing 8 buts yet? ;-P
20:41 sapier sorry bits ;-)
20:41 dsimon hm
20:41 proller what bits??
20:42 sapier well I'm not talking about the alcoholic drink quite common in other parts of germany
20:42 dsimon any thoughts on, in the future, using a package management system? ala luarocks or luadist (or some fork thereof)
20:43 sapier not yet dsimon but the idea sounds interesting
20:44 proller sapier, show log about bits
20:44 sapier but as we didn't even manage to persuade mod authors to use online moddb I have doubts modders will use that
20:44 dsimon sapier, perhaps if it directly referenced github
20:44 proller or forgot your fantasy
20:44 dsimon that would exclude people who insist on the zip-uploaded-to-forum distribution "method"
20:45 sapier proller if you're really interested what you did wrong look your self, I already fixed this bug. As you always find my bugs you're gonna find yours without my help too ;-)
20:45 dsimon but anything with a real repo would still be indexable
20:45 sapier dsimon:  exclusion is not an option
20:46 proller sapier, your fixes lost in -2000 +3000 lines of shitcode
20:46 dsimon sapier, hm, so perhaps even just allow raw URLs pointing at zips?
20:47 dsimon and more generally: even if the package manager doesn't support a mod, doesn't mean the mod can't be installed
20:47 SoniEx2 make minetest.sound_play take a pitch from 0.5 to 2.0
20:48 sapier proller look for a small one, if you're right that's not gonna be difficult
20:48 proller in menu?
20:49 sapier no c++ code
20:50 sapier but proller to be honest I don't really care about that bug, ppl doing work will make mistakes that's pretty normal
20:51 sapier and there's nothing like a silly bug because if it wasn't silly it wouldn't be a bug
20:51 SoniEx2 wait let me rephrase
20:51 SoniEx2 could you make minetest.sound_play take a pitch from 0.5 to 2.0?
20:52 SoniEx2 (0.5 to 2.0 because of OpenAL limitations)
20:52 sapier I can't I don't know anything about openal
20:52 SoniEx2 also what does minetest use for sound?
20:53 sapier openal
20:53 SoniEx2 ok good
