09:05 celeron55  i have an idea: let's switch to the "auto" function syntax of C++11, completely, just for the sake of it
09:07 Krock      auto ohyay = 10; networkpkt << ohyay;
09:10 celeron55  what?
09:12 Krock      I tried to express the bad use of auto in a single line of code. We should not switch completely as it 1) makes the code harder to read and 2) finding problems in the networking code will be a pain
09:13 Krock      but to replace the usually used, iterator for() loops, it's a good idea
09:14 celeron55  that's not what the idea was, not even close
09:15 celeron55  (2) here: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/auto
09:15 celeron55  auto Metadata::resolveString(const std::string &str, u16 recursion) const -> const std::string&
09:15 celeron55  you can write functions like that in C++11
09:16 celeron55  it's stupid and fun at the same time
09:16 celeron55  and harmless
09:17 celeron55  i like funk, and it's funky
09:36 nerzhul    celeron55, auto should never be used for trivial types
09:36 nerzhul    but iterator and heap object construction are good candidates
09:36 nerzhul    (rencommended by clang)
09:36 celeron55  you're still speaking of a different thing
09:36 celeron55  come on guys
09:36 nerzhul    if i remember you cannot set auto in a function definition
09:37 nerzhul    maybe in C++
09:37 nerzhul    C++14

15:50 juhdanad   Hi everybody!
15:50 Dumbeldor  Hi juhdanad
15:51 juhdanad   I set up a freenode account, but I still couldn't write there from the freenode webchat.
15:52 paramat    you mean 'write here'?
15:52 juhdanad   Yes, in this channel.
15:55 sfan5      webchat is muted here
15:55 juhdanad   I see.
16:07 paramat    please could devs go through and consider what i linked to yesterday from http://irc.minetest.net/minetest-dev/2017-08-24#i_5053618 onwards?
16:13 juhdanad   About #6194: what should be the drawtype's name?
16:13 ShadowBot  https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/6194 -- Feature Request: simple color facedir
16:15 juhdanad   *paramtype
16:22 paramat    erm ..
16:25 paramat    colorsimpledir, color4dir ..
16:26 paramat    maybe the first one or something similar
16:33 VanessaE   simplefacedir/colorsimplefacedir
16:33 VanessaE   may as well keep it similar to the others
16:37 juhdanad   Some recent changes made my Eclipse IDK not recognize Irrlicht types.
16:37 paramat    colorsimpledir is good. 'simplefacedir' is a contradiction as 'facedir' means the 24 rotation system
16:37 juhdanad   I like colorsimpledir!
16:39 VanessaE   paramat: well to be fair, "facedir" used to only mean 6 orientations
16:39 VanessaE   but fair enough.
16:40 VanessaE   simpledir/colorsimpledir makes sense enough.
16:41 juhdanad   Does anyone use Eclipse here?
16:42 rubenwardy I use CLion, basically intellij
16:42 rubenwardy Not that that helps you
16:42 paramat    oh ok
16:43 paramat    hmm #6309 would volumetric lighting require a complete new lighting system?
16:43 ShadowBot  https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/6309 -- Volumetric lighting support?
16:44 paramat    i can see this request hanging around for 5-10 years :]
16:46 VanessaE   yay for Dreambuilder! :D
16:48 juhdanad   What is volumetric lighting? Rendering light cones?
16:52 juhdanad   The main problem is that the current lighting system does not handle directional light.
16:52 juhdanad   In Minetest light has no direction, only intensity.
16:52 VanessaE   so spotlights et al..  there are a couple of old mods that can "fake" that
16:53 juhdanad   I'm just saying that if you want a light cone that can be stopped by nodes, you have to change the lighting system.
16:55 paramat    ah beams of light illuminating paticles
16:56 VanessaE   that could be nice to have
16:56 VanessaE   suddenly, shark mobs with visible laser beams :P
16:56 paramat    i think kilbith's fork has some kind of rays, but probably done by some simple method
16:57 VanessaE   haven't played with it, but I've seen a video or two.  even a "simple" method may be "good enough"?
17:05 paramat    well you can guess my opinion :]
17:18 VanessaE   actually I can't :P
17:18 paramat    lol
17:18 VanessaE   you, sir, are difficult to gauge :P
21:03 paramat    game#1860 is good but i prefer minp.y -1 not -2 any opinions?

21:05 Krock      1860 LGTM
21:05 paramat    -1 or -2?
21:06 Krock      -1, as-is.
21:06 Krock      err * -2, can't type
21:06 paramat    meh ok :]
21:07 paramat    can't see the point of only y being -2 though
21:07 Krock      gravity. makes it easier to spread
21:07 paramat    heh ok will merge as is
21:28 paramat    here's a challenge, stay below 1000 issues, if we go above we force ourselves to close an old one :]
21:29 Fixer      stay above 10 000 issues
22:01 paramat    will merge game#1844 game#1860 now
