01:59 paramat new system is near ready for merge, you can test it by running my 'newbiomes' mod

02:30 paramat i wonder if it's acceptable to have dry shrubs growing on the sandstone of sandstone desert ..
03:12 MrIbby joined #minetest-dev
03:13 Wayward_One Perhaps they could be growing through cracks/crevices in the sandstone
03:14 paramat it might be reasonable, perhaps some shrubs can live on stony surfaces
03:22 paramat testing carts on a long upward slope, continuous power rails, i'm finding sometimes the cart will stop and go down again
03:24 paramat if 'jiggles' and slows down, then reverses direction
03:33 paramat sound level is ok
03:36 paramat climbing bug seems worse at low speeds
03:40 paramat setting power rail to acc 9 seems to help. maybe the problem is the interaction betweem gravity acc and power rail acc
03:55 paramat anyway, accelerating the cart to max speed before hitting the base of the climb seems to help
03:58 paramat .. which is what you would want anyway as speed at base = climb speed
04:05 Sokomine joined #minetest-dev
04:16 Void7 joined #minetest-dev
04:16 paramat each jiggle slows the cart on a climb. because power rail acc = gravity acc the lost speed is not recovered, it may be necessary to raise power rail acc to 5 to help with this bug

15:26 rubenwardy What is the opinion on variable initialisation inside if statements? I know nrzkt is in favour. I don't like them as they're easy to confuse with equivalence
15:27 Zeno` example?
15:27 rubenwardy https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/2827/files#diff-da1e28445fc732755d2b64683bd94ee4R1284
15:28 rubenwardy I'm probably closer to neutral than against really
15:32 rubenwardy if think lines like if (variable = getVariable()) should be banned, however if (Type variable = getVariable()) isn't so bad
15:40 nrzkt in fact having it permit to affect + check the null directly + limit the scope of the variable and it doesn't affect C++ code readers :)
15:41 hmmmm very bad
15:41 hmmmm in fact i think it's banned
15:41 sfan5 ^ same
15:42 sfan5 !tell paramat please re-review https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/4774
15:42 ShadowBot sfan5: O.K.
15:42 hmmmm nrzkt keeps trying to insert it into his PRs
15:42 hmmmm he's the only one i know who does this
15:42 crazyR joined #minetest-dev
15:42 sfan5 i didnt even know you could do that
15:43 sfan5 is that a recent addition to some standard?
15:45 hmmmm http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/if
15:46 hmmmm it appears to have been there for some length of time
15:46 nrzkt sfan5: no you can do this since a very very very long time, you can do this in pure C too
15:47 nrzkt oh we can do if constexpr too, interesting :)
15:47 nrzkt (for C++11 and more)
15:51 lumidify joined #minetest-dev
15:52 Zeno` you mean "if (Inventory *inv = getInventory()) {" ?
15:52 Zeno` there is no point to doing that
15:53 Zeno` if (variable = getVariable())       is actually more acceptable in my book
15:53 sfan5 both are horrible
15:53 Zeno` (with proper parenthesis
15:53 Zeno` yeah they are
15:53 Zeno` there is no point to either of them
15:55 Zeno` although (var = func()) is pretty common and accepted
15:55 hmmmm more acceptable for while statements i'd argue
15:56 Zeno` e.g. if ((fp = fopen(SKJFKSJFKSJFKSJF)) != NULL)
15:56 Zeno` I can't say I'd argue with code like that
15:57 Zeno` s/with/about
15:57 troller joined #minetest-dev
15:58 Zeno` or malloc() etc etc etc etc
15:59 hmmmm yeah but you can do it just as cleanly with foobar = malloc();
15:59 hmmmm if (foobar == blah) { ...
15:59 hmmmm even cleaner because there's less stuff going on in the same line
15:59 rubenwardy joined #minetest-dev
16:00 rubenwardy hmmmm, it's not currently explicitly disallowed in the code guidelines wiki or kernel code style
16:00 rubenwardy I'm glad I'm not the only one that dislikes it
16:00 milllersman joined #minetest-dev
16:01 milllersman joined #minetest-dev
16:02 Zeno` hmmmm, yeah, of course. But the idiom for malloc and fopen etc is pretty widespread and common
16:02 Zeno` nearly every single C and C++ book will use that form as well (e.g. K&R)
16:03 Zeno` I rarely, if ever, see if (int a = ...
16:04 Zeno` declaration within the expression is a whole different ballgame to assignment imo
16:04 rubenwardy I suggest discouraging it, but allowing it if you surround it with    (  ) != null
16:04 MrIbby joined #minetest-dev
16:05 Zeno` rubenwardy, in the case of assignment but not declaration it's pretty hard to say "nah" because that is what textbooks use
16:05 rubenwardy *at the very least
16:06 rubenwardy It's still too easy to miss the `=` not `==`. Text books don't necessarily define the best way
16:06 proller joined #minetest-dev
16:07 Zeno` if there parenthesis are there then there is no problem. And every single compiler since about 1989 has warned if the parenthesis are not there anyway :)
16:07 Zeno` "suggest parenthesis" warning
16:08 Zeno` but if someone were to write what hmmm wrote, I would not object either
16:08 Zeno` it's the declaration of an object within an expression I dislike
16:11 Zeno` The C and C++ standards have examples of assignment within an expression!
16:11 Void7 joined #minetest-dev
16:11 Zeno` it's kinda hard to say it's bad when the practice for some functions (fopen, malloc, etc) is so widespread
16:12 Zeno` and has been since 1972
16:14 milllersman joined #minetest-dev
16:15 Zeno` anyway, I'm fine with those common usages. nrzkt: I'm not fine with a declaration in an expression
16:15 Zeno` mainly because it makes no sense to me
16:16 Zeno` I mean I understand it, but it's not something with a history as long and established as the fopen/malloc practices
16:17 Zeno` I'm not even sure if scope is changed
16:17 Zeno` but I'd have to look that up
16:17 Zeno` surely "if (const InventoryList *hlist = inv->getList("hand"))" emits a warning anyway
16:17 Zeno` and we avoid warnings
16:18 milllersman joined #minetest-dev
16:18 Zeno` maybe it doesn't because I've never written code like that hehe
16:21 milllersman joined #minetest-dev
16:23 milllersman joined #minetest-dev
16:24 asl97 3 1a
16:24 Zeno` ohhhh a code!
16:24 * Zeno` loves codes
16:24 * Zeno` tries to crack it
16:25 Zeno` it's a tough one :/
16:26 Zeno` I've decoded it, asl97!
16:26 Zeno` "HODOR"
16:26 asl97 wat
16:26 milllersman joined #minetest-dev
16:26 Zeno` is that not correct?
16:27 Zeno` maybe I forgot to carry the zero
16:27 asl97 uh... must have accidentlly hit some key when i place my tablet on the keyboard >.>
16:27 Zeno` if I carry the zero I get "ROGER"
16:29 Zeno` you'd think that with simple arithmetic I'd remember to carry the zero, but often I forget :(

16:46 milllersman a good use case for declaration in if is: } else if(YetAnotherType *yat = dynamic_cast<YetAnotherType*>(ptr)) {
16:47 milllersman this allows to keep alternative tests flat, otherwise either all dynamic_casts have to be done before the if-else-if block or there is deep nesting
16:47 KaadmY joined #minetest-dev
16:48 milllersman but it's the only use-case i know
16:49 milllersman not to speak about the evilness of dynamic_cast

20:50 Fixer Fixer: Little update re 0,0,0: TPS Lego is now definitely experiencing it as well. I get about 20 seconds delay and others are reporting it too. Seems no server is safe now :(
20:50 Fixer can anyone look at this bullshit?
20:50 Fixer at least 3 servers experience it
20:51 Shara Certainly more than three.
20:52 milllersman joined #minetest-dev
20:52 Shara VE servers, RedCat, Xanadu, TPS, ...got report from TenPlus1 yesterday that DarkLands (my non-public server on latest dev) also had it for him.
20:53 asl97 you quote yourself xD
20:53 asl97 what delay are we talking about?  is it #2832
20:53 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2832 -- Client desync
20:53 Shara Fixer quoted me, but without the bit to show it was me :)
20:53 Fixer https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/4403 this one
20:53 Shara Fixer: It seems like there are actually two seperate issues with this bug?
20:54 asl97 oh, that old spawn bug
20:54 milllersman joined #minetest-dev
20:54 Shara One that locks up privs/chat/everything and one that is simple failure to get coords.
20:54 Fixer Shara: one issue was present in -dev for week or more and was fixed, this one is much older
20:54 Fixer Shara: right
20:55 Shara Didn't test much in past week, but I know Xanadu seemed to have both a little while back... (wait long enough and you could /spawn to get out, but initially that wouldn't work... wait even longer and it would teleport you)
20:55 Shara Xanadu still has at least one of them since.. I think whatever was meant to fix it.
20:56 Shara But Xanadu had no issues at all until the past month maybe.
20:56 milllersman joined #minetest-dev
20:56 Fixer i think Xanadu one was coord bug, that was fixed recently
20:56 Shara So it was present in stable release... then skipped for a while, then came back?
20:56 Fixer your bug is not fixed
20:56 Shara No, Xanadu still had this issue last night anyway.
20:56 Shara They tested fix after updating... didn't work
20:57 Fixer i had no problems with 0 0 0 on xanadu, but on vanessas and redcat - for sure
20:57 Fixer up to 15 minutes wait time
20:57 Shara I still don't ever go to 0,0,0 on RC myself, but on Xanadu I am there for 10+ seconds every time. Some people (Sokomine for example) have had it much worse
20:58 Shara Who gets it on which servers doesn't seem to make any sense :(
20:58 Fixer ok
20:58 milllersman joined #minetest-dev
20:58 Fixer i think we motivated devs enough /me hides

21:09 paramat hi milllersman can you fix the join / leave spam from your connection? perhaps disable auto-join?
21:10 milllersman paramat: sorry, my problem is the very unstable WLAN connection on windows systems, which results in a minute-long disconnects every few minutes
21:11 paramat ok :)
21:12 milllersman is there a good web-irc tool? maybe this would be more stable under this cirumstances
21:13 asl97 milllersman: there is the irccloud service, if you have a server, you can use a irc bouncer like znc
21:13 milllersman joined #minetest-dev
21:13 asl97 milllersman: there is the irccloud service, if you have a server, you can use a irc bouncer like znc
21:14 milllersman asl97: no need to repost, i'll follow the discussion in the log ^^... unfortunately i don't have a server :(
21:15 millersman joined #minetest-dev
21:16 millersman trying kiwiirc.com... hopefully this is more stable
21:17 asl97 isn't kiwiirc just a web irc client?  i am pretty sure they will disconect you from the network when you disconnect from them
21:22 millersman asl97: i hope that the http-protocol hides the disconnects from the server, it's just a wlan internal issue, all systems (including mobile) except for linux get extremely often disconnected by the router
21:23 sfan5 you should buy a new routers
21:26 millersman and also switch the dsl provider

21:43 garywhite I dunno if something is in development, but I think this needs to become some kind of priority cause it seems to be getting worse
21:43 paramat 3D noise mountains have always been in mgv5 and mgv7

22:00 paramat lovely
22:01 FirePowi joined #minetest-dev
22:01 rubenwardy looks good, paramat. I like all the biomes I've seen so far
22:02 millersman found a few smaller issues in utility functions like Map::isValidPosition throwing an exception instead of returning false for invalid ones
22:02 paramat cool
22:03 millersman should i create a separate PR or just include it in the reflow fix, i only use it for debugging and it won't be called in the final version
22:03 paramat separate commit, but can be the same PR
22:05 millersman ok
22:07 paramat i'll add news in the forum of a forthcoming change in biomes, it will cause straight-edged biome borders
22:07 millersman i'll also found a strange behavior in transformLiquid: it looks like flowing liquids with level 0 above other flowing liquids prevents proper flowing away of the column
22:08 millersman will try to find the reason for this, otherwise reflow should be fixed... this was the only issue i could find
22:08 garywhite Does anyone remember the code for sending text from a luacontroller to a digilines LCD?

23:11 rubenwardy is it possible to programmically expand a tree list?
23:12 rubenwardy ah tableoptions[opendepth=<value>]
23:13 Fixer paramat: my guess is add more acceleration?
23:14 paramat yes
23:15 paramat after 1-2 hours of editing code that seems the best thing to do
23:16 rubenwardy opendepth=100 doesn't seem to work
23:16 rubenwardy maybe I should set selected_setting to the best match somehow
23:17 Fixer "The 'biome points' (heat point, humidity point) are being changed so on changeover you will get straight biome borders between old and new."
23:17 rubenwardy added screenshot to #4806

23:18 Fixer paramat: i'm not sure if it is clear enough about this biome borders
23:20 paramat will improve
23:26 paramat done

23:30 sofar boom, 3d torches, yall
23:30 * sofar merges
23:31 paramat good
23:32 Fixer btw
23:32 Fixer i've played on Liberty Land and it had like custom 0.4.12 game, and I can swore boat aligned with player at placing
23:33 Fixer so it was probably broken later and fixed again now
23:33 Fixer sofar: i've played with torches a bit, and they seem fine
23:36 est31 wohoo minetest has actual non broken torches now!

23:38 sofar now, for thanksgiving, I'm going to be really thankful for having Animated Particle spawners that can glow and are attached to objects!
23:38 sofar right!
23:38 sofar right?
23:39 sofar no?
23:39 sofar :/
23:39 kaeza rubenwardy, can you also search in the setting description? the setting (technical) name and (possibly localized) description may have nothing in common
23:39 kaeza other than that, looks excellent
23:39 rubenwardy descriptions :PO
23:39 rubenwardy * :O
23:40 rubenwardy ah, entry.comment
23:40 Void7 joined #minetest-dev
23:41 kaeza what I mean is, if say a spanish user searches for "pant[alla completa]" ("full screen"), it finds nothing
23:42 * kaeza 'd also like to suggest "category:graphics" :P
23:43 rubenwardy added
23:43 * kaeza tests
23:43 rubenwardy that would be nice - but quite harder
23:43 rubenwardy future pr? :P
23:45 est31 kaeza: welcome back btw
23:45 kaeza rubenwardy, does not seem to work :( http://imgur.com/a/DSDGZ
23:46 kaeza est31, thank you, but, did I go away?
23:46 kaeza maybe you meant kahrl?
23:46 est31 you were a bit less active, no?
23:47 rubenwardy kaeza: are you missing an accent or something? Does "pant" definitely exist?
23:47 rubenwardy ohhhhhh
23:47 kaeza est31, a bit yes. busy with IRL stuff
23:47 rubenwardy it needs to be fgettext(setting.name) not setting.name
23:47 rubenwardy to deal with translations
23:49 rubenwardy updated, kaeza
23:50 kaeza rubenwardy, now it works, but just noticed this: 2016-11-23 20:50:08: ERROR[Main]: MAINMENU ERROR: Runtime error from mod '' in callback handleMainMenuButtons(): ...netest/bin/../builtin/mainmenu/dlg_settings_advanced.lua:372: malformed pattern (missing ']')
23:50 kaeza input string is "[]"
23:51 kaeza you should probably call `string.find` with `pcall`
23:51 kaeza or just pass true as third arg to force plain substring search
23:52 kaeza eh, fourth arg, rather: string.find(haystack, needle, start_pos, plain)
23:54 rubenwardy why is lua so special
23:56 kaeza what? don't tell me setting global variables by default, string search using patterns by default, and lack of true integers aren't useful
