07:57 RealBadAngel i have fixed cracks missing for meshnodes
07:57 RealBadAngel now im thinking what to do with collision boxes
07:58 RealBadAngel atm collsion box is taken from nodebox def or set to full node size in case of every other node
07:58 RealBadAngel so meshnodes get the last
07:59 RealBadAngel imho we should add ability to define collision boxes for nodes the same way we have for entities
08:01 RealBadAngel but im not sure if that should be added together with meshnodes or be a subject for separate pull
08:02 RealBadAngel hmmmm, kahrl, sfan5, ShadowNinja ? ^^
08:07 Taoki[mobile]_1 joined #minetest-dev
08:15 sfan5 RealBadAngel: seperate pull
08:15 RealBadAngel i just figured out that API says we do have selection_box for nodes
08:16 RealBadAngel selection_box = {type="regular"}, -- See "Node boxes"
08:16 RealBadAngel but contentfeatures does not have such property
08:18 RealBadAngel wtf? somebody forget to implement it but put that in docs?
08:19 Zeno` it's like an Easter egg I suppose
08:21 RealBadAngel very funny :)
08:22 RealBadAngel damn, i must be blind
08:22 RealBadAngel those are selection boxes not the collision ones lmao
08:22 RealBadAngel i think i need a nap ;)

14:36 RealBadAngel if we agree that collision have to be a separate pull then https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1738 is complete and rdy
14:36 RealBadAngel i will just squash it
14:36 RealBadAngel with docs i will wait a bit for native speaker to verify it
14:38 shadowzone joined #minetest-dev
14:54 VanessaE seems to behave as intended
14:55 VanessaE including cracks on meshes.  see?  told you it would work :D
14:57 VanessaE also, re: collision boxes... separate pull.

15:44 luizrpgluiz joined #minetest-dev
15:45 luizrpgluiz hi
15:45 PenguinDad joined #minetest-dev
15:46 luizrpgluiz would be too complicated to open a server to change the skins as in Minecraft?
15:47 rubenwardy luizrpgluiz, new textures require a server restart
15:48 rubenwardy Like new texture files / skins to the server
15:48 rubenwardy However you can change the player's skin without a restart
15:48 rubenwardy Are you asking about a website where you set your skin globally, or changing skin in day?
15:48 rubenwardy in game
15:49 zat joined #minetest-dev
16:05 Megaf joined #minetest-dev
16:07 Calinou joined #minetest-dev
16:15 rubenwardy Can we use https:// on wiki and minetest.net please? Passwords aren't secure otherwise.
16:15 rubenwardy At least when logging in
16:17 ShadowNinja rubenwardy: For wiki see xyz, for main site see celeron55.
16:19 celeron55 not going to happen on the main site
16:20 proller joined #minetest-dev
16:21 rubenwardy Ok. My password for the main site is unique anyway.
16:29 celeron55 i recommend for the few people who have an account there to just use a random string and write/type it down somewhere
16:29 celeron55 (if not using a password manager of some sort)
16:35 rubenwardy Confusing debug options such as camera update should be disabled by default, lots of people accidentally press it
16:35 rubenwardy Or at least have a more obscure key shortcut. Can you do Ctrl+F4?
16:53 Krock joined #minetest-dev
16:54 PenguinDad joined #minetest-dev
16:55 Calinou I've suggested removing F4 entirely (comment out the code that does it)
16:55 Calinou it's used for cheating
16:56 Calinou not being affected by opaque or near-opaque post-process, seeing through walls…
16:58 shadowzone joined #minetest-dev
17:01 exio4 if you are removing a feature, just remove the code, don't leave commented and dead code around :(
17:03 PenguinDad joined #minetest-dev
17:04 Calinou what if someone wants it back?
17:04 Calinou mostly developers
17:04 Calinou it's like quicktune
17:04 Calinou a feature that is completely useless unless you change a few things to implement it
17:04 Calinou (quicktune lets you change variables while playing)
17:05 exio4 Calinou: git is there
17:05 rubenwardy Only set the camera update keymap when using a debug build - https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1744
17:05 Calinou not everyone wants to dig through hundreds of commits :/
17:06 Calinou good idea
17:06 Calinou I doubt people will build debug builds just to cheat
17:06 Calinou (it's way slower)
17:06 exio4 Calinou: stop using git, and stop removing code and only comment old code, here, no more commits
17:06 rubenwardy Calinou: they can still change the keymap in minetest.conf to use it again
17:06 Calinou rubenwardy, but, if you use a non-debug build and add keymap_toggle_update_camera = KEY_F4, you can use it?
17:06 Calinou :/
17:06 Calinou that's a problem
17:07 Calinou I didn't know you could change these keys
17:07 rubenwardy Shall I make it so it disables entirely if it is not a debug build?
17:07 rubenwardy As a different pull
17:07 Calinou wait for core developer's input
17:15 Krock rubenwardy, do only "as debug" compiled builds contain this "feature" with your commit?
17:16 rubenwardy If you use a normal build, hitting F4 does nothing. If you use a debug build, it toggles camera updates. You can still set F4 to toggle camera updates in minetest.conf
17:19 Krock rubenwardy, oke.
17:19 Krock +1 from my side
17:19 PilzAdam #1744 is good
17:19 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/1744 -- Only set the camera update keymap when using a debug build by rubenwardy
17:19 Krock o.o
17:20 PilzAdam Calinou, your "anti-cheat" argument is weird
17:20 Nitori joined #minetest-dev
17:21 Calinou most people wanting to cheat don't bother recompiling the game
17:22 PilzAdam client-side anti-cheat is basically useless in an open source game
17:27 Calinou it's about not tempting people to cheat
17:27 Calinou if you let everyone fly by default, do you think most people will never use flight?
17:28 Calinou social experiment: grant fast and fly by default but tell people not to use it
17:28 Calinou after 15 minutes, at least half of the players use it :P
17:28 Calinou this was frequent on 0.3.x
17:29 rubenwardy celeron55, changed my password on minetest.net to a random string. I will aim to change it maybe once a month.
17:29 rubenwardy XD
17:31 Calinou hunter2, then hunter3, then hunter4…
17:35 proller joined #minetest-dev
18:02 dhasenan_ joined #minetest-dev
18:06 celeron55 well changing it doesn't really matter
18:07 celeron55 if someone sniffs the password, he probably won't wait for very long until using it
18:12 rubenwardy How can I get the texture id which is being pointed to by PointedThing? Like// 0     1     2     3     4     5
18:12 rubenwardy // up    down  right left  back  front
18:12 rubenwardy s/texture/tile
18:15 Calinou you want a number or texture name?
18:17 rubenwardy latter
18:17 rubenwardy but I can get the texture name from the number
18:18 rubenwardy https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/87c69a95e01a5a314b8e7e75c539ddd25468c5f5#diff-18513665750ef5adf42b5ec29e14162eR3317
18:19 Nitori joined #minetest-dev
18:21 rubenwardy Add name of node pointed at to debug - https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1677
18:25 VanessaE oh THAT is handy rubenwardy
18:25 shadowzone joined #minetest-dev
18:25 rubenwardy XD
18:26 Calinou I have the Infotool for that
18:26 VanessaE rubenwardy: does it work on undefined nodes? (e.g. from a mod that's since been deleted)
18:26 Calinou https://gitorious.org/calinou/carbone/source/f71432d1335bc2edbc8b18dbdb5464ce1bfa69bc:mods/default/commands.lua#L4
18:26 Calinou :-)
18:27 Nitori joined #minetest-dev
18:27 rubenwardy Not sure
18:27 rubenwardy Will try
18:30 rubenwardy Says (pointing_to = unknown - )
18:30 OldCoder I am away today but continue to welcome RE-SEND RELIABLE thoughts
18:31 geever joined #minetest-dev
18:31 Calinou https://github.com/freeminer/freeminer/commit/b6f639f77e910aff387ed3fda0c174b4dd9eb130
18:31 rubenwardy For nodes with no tiles it is poining_to = mod:name
18:31 Calinou we should do the same thing to Minetest (remove only_peaceful_mobs stuff)
18:31 Calinou it's deprecated
18:31 geever hi
18:31 Calinou hi geever
18:31 VanessaE rubenwardy: might be a good idea to fix that :)
18:31 rubenwardy For unknown?
18:31 VanessaE yeah
18:31 VanessaE unknown nodes still have names, they can for example be aliased in Lua
18:33 proller Calinou, you cant copy things from freeminer! ;)
18:33 VanessaE proller: "clean-room implementation"
18:35 Calinou we can certainly remove cruft like that by ourselves
18:35 sol_invictus joined #minetest-dev
18:35 Calinou it's good to remove on_step stuff to reduce lag
18:38 rubenwardy VanessaE, fixed
18:38 VanessaE rubenwardy: ah, good

19:06 Calinou joined #minetest-dev
19:07 iqualfragile how do you fake server anouncements? does the masterserver check the agent?
19:07 iqualfragile because simply using the json i intercepted did not work
19:21 sfan5 iqualfragile: the server list checks that 1) the announcement is coming from the server IP and 2) the server is up
19:21 iqualfragile how often does it check that sfan5?
19:21 sfan5 when you announce
19:22 iqualfragile ok, thats acceptable
19:22 iqualfragile my plan is to have socket activated servers
19:22 Naked joined #minetest-dev
19:22 iqualfragile that whole checking buisnes is making that a bit hard
19:23 sfan5 iqualfragile: please direct further questions to https://github.com/minetest/master-server/blob/master/server.py
19:23 sfan5 ;-)
19:23 iqualfragile oh… ok...

22:23 RealBadAngel https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1738
22:23 RealBadAngel ive updated the pull with a bit of docs and rebased it
22:24 VanessaE meshes respond to the visual_scale argument?
22:26 PenguinDad VanessaE: they do
22:26 RealBadAngel yes
22:26 VanessaE interesting.  that could be rather useful.
22:27 RealBadAngel http://i.imgur.com/eKgfuns.png
22:27 RealBadAngel same model, different visual_scale
22:27 VanessaE ah indeed
22:33 PilzAdam RealBadAngel, what formats are supported for models?
22:33 PilzAdam could you add that to the docs?
22:34 RealBadAngel all that irrlicht is supporting
22:34 RealBadAngel this is engine feature not our game
22:35 PilzAdam has the number of supported formats changed between our supported irrlicht versions?
22:35 RealBadAngel no idea
22:36 PilzAdam if yes then add only the formats that are supported by all versions to lua_api.txt to make sure that mods only use formats that are supported by all Minetest clients
22:38 RealBadAngel http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/features/#supportedformats
22:38 VanessaE PilzAdam: to the best of my knowledge, no significant changes in supported models have occurred between 1.7.x and 1.8 that we actually care about here
22:39 VanessaE RealBadAngel: it would be best to mention that only static/non-animated models will work, btw
22:39 RealBadAngel VanessaE, indeed
22:49 RealBadAngel updated the docs
22:53 VanessaE seems good
22:58 VanessaE there is one caveat:  on a mesh node, the crack animation seems to be scaled WAY too big in some cases
22:58 VanessaE e.g. dig one of the smaller of the two mushrooms in the test mod, using a slow tool like a stone pick.
22:58 VanessaE not that this causes an actual problem, per se, but it looks weird graphically.
22:59 VanessaE seems to be scaled up by about 3x on that particular node
22:59 VanessaE 4x actually
23:00 alexxs joined #minetest-dev
23:03 RealBadAngel i said that cracks wont work on meshes
23:03 RealBadAngel theres no way to achive that
23:04 RealBadAngel theyre meant to be displayed on flat surfaces
23:04 VanessaE simple solution:  reduce their scale manually by 4x before applying to the mesh? :)
23:04 VanessaE anyway they DO work
23:04 VanessaE they just look a little weird
23:04 darkrose joined #minetest-dev
23:05 RealBadAngel VanessaE, meshes can use just a bit of a texture
23:05 RealBadAngel ie one texture can hold parts for different mesh elements
23:06 RealBadAngel see player model textures
23:06 VanessaE oh ok
23:06 VanessaE well at least it works enough for us luddites ;)
23:06 RealBadAngel thats why i want cracks to be optional
23:07 RealBadAngel particles are nicer, work faster and better with any kind of node
23:18 RealBadAngel anyway i will try to make cracks look a bit better when moving cracked (or highlighted) node into separate scene node
