15:03 Krock       #8641 feedbacks? From the normal user's perspective that's just a code cleanup

16:51 Krock       that should still be a global texture IMP
16:51 Krock       *IMO
16:52 Krock       the textures look good, though.
18:26 sfan5       paramat: agree with Krock that it should be a global texture
18:27 sfan5       mtg ought to make use of the engine features
18:29 Krock       thanks for the support :)  mapblock-aligned textures really make the landscape more interesting
18:29 Krock       logically, less repetitive
18:30 Krock       hmm.. packet sending should really be server-step independent
18:31 Krock       yet I wonder why RTT appears to be multiples of the server step
18:35 sfan5       only measured on server step?
18:41 Krock       measured in ConnectionReceiveThread::run()
18:43 Krock       but ServerThread calls to ConnectionReceiveThread::receive() and I have no clue how that's related to run()
18:44 Krock       apparently run() calls to receive() which fills the event queue of Connection, which is then processed by ServerThread
18:46 Krock       still no server step involved
19:30 Krock       DS-minetest, paramat: default:sand_with_kelp and register_sign() also use is_protected without the protection_bypass check
19:31 Krock       weird that nobody noticed that
19:32 DS-minetest yeah, I also only noticed because I saw how ANAND commented elsewhere when the change was still in my short-term memory
19:39 Krock       neither farming does these checks
19:39 Krock       maybe it's not required after all?
19:40 Krock       beds checks for the priv two times, but does not for on_rotate
19:41 DS-minetest I guess testing seldom shows problems as nearly nobody tests with protection and with that priv exactly
19:42 Krock       protector, landrush, areas and simple_protection all check for the privilege before continuing with is_protected()
19:42 DS-minetest ah, I see
19:42 DS-minetest and builtin checks, too
19:43 DS-minetest I guess it should be documented that protector mods should check for it (else it will be confusing as now)
19:44 Krock       that's what I'm going to do rn
19:48 paramat     it can't use a global texture, that would break texture packs and force the authors to create 128x128 textures. also see the many other reasons why it is very unsuitable for MTG in the thread
19:49 DS-minetest imo texturepacks should be able to specify with override.txt whether it is a global texture
19:50 paramat     MTG doesn't have to use an engine feature if that feature is not suitable for a game
19:52 paramat     anyway, let's get Shara 's opinion on it first
19:56 paramat     if grass is global then everything will have to be 128px textures, 16px is hard enough. if MTG is forced to use global textures i will no longer be able to use it and will be tempted to quit MTG. anyway, off for a walk now, bbl

20:29 Shara       I'm very undecided about global textures. I like that they are an option now, but I've always preferred the missing nodes approach instead (like tumeni commented on in one of the threads)
20:29 Shara       mixing*
20:29 Shara       I'm not sure how I'd feel about them in MTG to be honest
