01:11 VanessaE   paramat:  game 1220, -1
01:29 rubenwardy VanessaE, for maintenance reasons?
01:59 VanessaE   rubenwardy: for legacy reasons.  plus, well....why?
01:59 VanessaE   what's to be gained?
03:34 paramat    hi hmmmm please could you look at #4376 sometime? i'm trying to see how it fails the unit test

10:07 agaran     Hello
10:07 agaran     Is this a bug that you can't stop singleplayer if server thread is in infinite loop in lua?
10:12 nrzkt      no, if it's not due to minetest or minetest_game developments
10:15 celeron55  that's how it has always been; i guess there could be a dialog asking whether to kill it after an unreasonable time has passed
10:15 celeron55  it's not particularly simple to do
10:22 est31      MinetestOS
10:22 agaran     ok, kill does work on it, does not even require kill -9, but I wanted to be sure that it is not some unexpected feature
10:23 nrzkt      i propose: std::async([]{ system("pkill -9 minetest") });
10:24 nrzkt      :p
10:24 Krock      again a Linux-only feature
10:25 nrzkt      #ifdef WIN32
10:25 nrzkt      Player *player = nullptr; player->getName(); #endif
10:25 nrzkt      :D
10:26 nrzkt      killer feature , and portable on all OS :D
10:27 Krock      then why do you make it Win32-only?
10:27 Krock      android users may want to close it too
11:26 nrzkt      yes, remove the ifdef and the async, just keep the crashing code and that's good :D
11:27 nrzkt      Player *player = nullptr; player->getName(); is a portable crash closing :D
11:35 Krock      well, any nullptr can cause the same crash

15:08 Krock      est31, I wouldn't say this is trivial. Trivial are typos
15:08 est31      its just moving things
15:08 Krock      (speaking of 4381)
15:08 Krock      No, it adds the description for the special textuers
15:09 est31      the fact that 4377 is included makes it non trivial though
15:09 est31      agreed
15:09 Krock      thanks :)
20:25 Hijiri     where can I find a specification of itemstrings?
20:26 Hijiri     (not a list of examples)
20:32 Hijiri     actually, I mean the output of ItemStack:to_string
20:32 T4im       you want an ebnf? x)
20:32 Hijiri     If it can't be specified more simply
20:33 Hijiri     I'm assuming it can be
20:33 Hijiri     informal specification is fine if it covers all forms
20:33 T4im       name [amount]
20:34 T4im       not sure if you can add wear to the itemstring, never seen it
20:34 T4im       s/amount/count/
20:34 T4im       [] meaning optional
20:34 T4im       ash wait, it can, apparently, instead of count
20:34 T4im       ah*
20:35 Hijiri     is the output of to_string an itemstring?
20:35 T4im       "Returns the stack in itemstring form."
20:35 Hijiri     oh
20:35 T4im       yes
20:35 Hijiri     I was looking at the c++ and the format looked different
20:36 Hijiri     I'm not sure where metadata goes in the itemstring but I probably won't be dealing with it
20:37 Hijiri     actually I was looking at obsoleted code
20:37 Hijiri     thanks T4im

20:42 ShadowBot  https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/4372 -- Disallow registering users with the same name by SmallJoker
20:43 nolsen     I have an urge to copy the changes and apply it to my server
20:43 nolsen     Because this is a must have change.
20:43 Krock      it's a shame that I haven't made this pull earlier
21:02 nolsen     I noticed minetest doesn't use my wireless headphones, but instead uses my speakers, is this a known issue?
21:02 nolsen     It's the same on Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.10
21:02 nolsen     While my other applications use the headphones.
21:17 paramat    nore sofar any opinion on game#1220 ?

21:19 Calinou    nolsen: not sure if you can tell Minetest to use a specific audio device
21:19 Calinou    open an issue
21:19 Calinou    my USB headset works with Minetest, but I have HDMI audio and speakers off
21:21 nolsen     #4386
21:21 ShadowBot  https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/4386 -- Minetest is not using wireless speakers (or headphones)
21:23 nolsen     Hm, strange.
21:24 nolsen     It's working fine now on Windows 10, but ubuntu 16.10 isn't.
21:24 nolsen     Lemme test again.
21:25 paramat    possibly a hardware config issue?
21:26 paramat    i mean, a sound channel / driver issue
21:29 nolsen     paramat: Either that, or I'm going crazy.
21:29 nolsen     because ubuntu 16.10 works fine
21:30 nolsen     I closed the issue, I'll reopen if it happens again.
21:30 paramat    ok
21:30 nolsen     I might be hearing things
21:36 T4im       using headphones instead of speakers is something the operating system is responsible for, usually
21:37 T4im       or some daemon running there
21:37 T4im       at least under linux you'd usually have pulseaudio or jack or something manage that
21:44 paramat    oh man 6 new issues
21:50 Krock      paramat, I thought I finally had solved some by making pull requests but the issue spawner is faster than me :<
21:51 paramat    i see 2 per day, 700 soon! :]
21:51 paramat    luckily most are feature requests
