15:33 paramat    simple PR #7293
15:33 ShadowBot  https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/7293 -- Cavegen: Allow small RandomWalk caves to generate beyond mapchunk border by paramat
15:52 Krock      it's checked whether the coordinate is still within the area, so I guess that's fine
15:52 Krock      paramat, did you check what happens when bordering an old generated map to a new one?
15:58 paramat    no, erm ..
15:59 paramat    i think the small caves would overgenerate into the old mapchunk instead of creating a flat wall
16:00 paramat    fairly sure
16:01 paramat    but then ..
16:03 Krock      well, this could destroy user builds on the limited map border after the limit was raised
16:03 paramat    i think the way the code is currently already causes small caves to create flat walls, because the allowed volume for cave centres is the same for large an small caves, but small caves are chopped off whereever ignore is
16:03 Krock      but maybe I'm just too worried :)
16:03 paramat    ah erm ..
16:04 paramat    overgenerating large caves also could destroy user builds, it's always been that way
16:06 paramat    also, if a player builds in mapchunk 'A', any neighbouring mapchunk will generate as soon as they enter mapchunk 'A'
16:06 paramat    it's good you are careful
16:07 Krock      I see. if caves already generated into existing terrain before then it's ok - it's rather now that we have map limits where it's not guaranteed that the next mapblock will be generated after the player arrives near to it
16:12 paramat    well meh, that's the danger of changing mapgen limit
17:00 paramat    .. and that happens with large caves already
17:00 paramat    game#2073 is ready

17:01 paramat    Krock is that a +1 for #7293 ?

17:11 Shara      Will take a look at the tundra/permafrost PR either tonight or over the weekend
17:11 Shara      The newest screenshots look a lot more promising for it than the previous ones
17:18 paramat    wooo, merging #7293 in 5 mins
17:18 ShadowBot  https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/7293 -- Cavegen: Allow small RandomWalk caves to generate beyond mapchunk border by paramat
17:22 paramat    doing ..
17:24 paramat    done
19:31 paramat    rubenwardy 'WARNING[Main]: invalid use of background without a size[] element' does this need an issue?
19:31 rubenwardy already has one
19:31 rubenwardy I'll be able to fix that in a few days
19:40 paramat    ok great
19:52 Krock      This might be a stupid question - but how do we update the translations? Especially for the backport branch, so in the end we don't have delays when we want to release 0.4.17
19:55 paramat    i don't know either. isn't that done shortly before freeze?
19:57 paramat    closed game#889 no support

21:56 paramat    i bumped all feature request issues over 2 years old with no core dev support, for consideration

22:05 paramat    merging
22:07 paramat    done. 4 PRs!
22:07 paramat    and 1 is backport
22:09 paramat    i considered that 2 years is a 'fairly long time' in MT dev. we're quite slow so 1 year really isn't :]
22:10 paramat    now tundra is done i'll add vertical biome blends next
22:34 sfan5      man, sorcerykid really manages to piss me off
22:34 sfan5      "this is bad" "that is inefficient" "that change only made things worse"
22:34 sfan5      combines with the constant rambling about "crticial bug" "fatal flaw"
22:35 sfan5      oh and don't forget the "look how performant my own code is!!!!" sections in benchmarks
22:35 nerzhul    sfan5, maybe he is a friend of Dirk :p
22:35 sfan5      actual contributions? fucking nothing
22:35 sfan5      posts an issue with a link to some garbage .zip file you're supposed to take apart yourself
22:36 sfan5      he's not wrong but his attitude is completely ass
22:36 sfan5      </rant>
22:39 sofar      scroll back a few months and I said the exact same thing, almost verbatim
22:41 paramat    (me too)
22:50 sofar      I don't get mad if people just don't have time
22:51 sofar      I get mad because sorcerykid continues to make terrible decisions on how to open source contributions
22:52 sfan5      clearly you should be happy that mr. god programmer has graced you with his presence at all
22:53 sofar      https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=19303 is the evidence
22:54 sofar      I'm fairly sure that "Leslie" and the github emo image are completely creepy as well
22:55 sofar      https://github.com/sorcerykid ... scary
22:55 sofar      I'm not helping your </rant>, sorry :o
23:03 * sofar    backs away from the keyboard and decides it's time to turn off the internet
23:09 Fixer      but maybe his code is good, sorcerykid server has very little lag, I can confirm that
23:10 Fixer      even with huge auth file
