00:12 lhofhansl   Here's another idea on occlusion culling: One of the problem is that the view-screen is not a point, it's plane. We should send rays from each corner of the plane to each corner of each block (so it's 4x the amount of work), only when all are occluded should we occlude the block. If we do that we should be able to require the count to be 1 only, and the nearby-hackiness can probably be removed. It should be possible to calculate
00:12 lhofhansl   e screen corners in 3D-space and send rays from there.
00:14 lhofhansl   The nearby hacks are due to the fact that we approximate the camera as a point... I think.
00:15 lhofhansl   (alas we do not know the screen dimension on the server)
00:29 lhofhansl   Or easier... Place the origin of the ray back from the camera in view-direction, so that it is as far away from the eye-position as the camera's view-pane is... I'd have to think about the math.

02:40 Dead_Man    Hey, what version of OpenGL does this use and is there a way to edit it?
02:51 Dead_Man    Um... are my messages sending or are people just busy?
03:06 Amaz        Dead_Man: Yep, they're sending, people are just busy/asleep now
03:07 Dead_Man    Okay, good to know.
03:39 Dead_Man    Is there a way to see or change the OpenGL version?
04:37 ShadowNinja Dead_Man: It will use whatever version your system is set up to use for your GPU.  You can have Minetest print out that information on startup (I think you have to pass the --info flag).
04:39 Dead_Man    Okay, so it's using 4.6.0. So why doesn't RenderDoc complain about it being less?
04:39 Dead_Man    Why does it, rather.
04:40 ShadowNinja Hmmm, I don't know.
04:44 ShadowNinja Maybe Irrlicht recognizes that the driver is 4.6 compatible but it's only designed to actually use older APIs?
04:44 Dead_Man    That's possible. I don't *need* to use RenderDoc but it'd be nice to understand what's going on.
04:55 Dead_Man    Well there's actually another error besides the version. "Context not created via CreateContextAttribs"
09:11 rubenwardy  !tell Dead_Man that RenderDoc doesn't work cause irrlicht uses compatibility profile OpenGL
09:11 ShadowBot   rubenwardy: O.K.
12:28 Krock       the lighting system is incorrect. if there are two light sources overlapping, the double-lit nodes aren't brighter
12:34 sfan5       but it was always like that, wasn't it?
12:37 Krock       yeah. overall issue, but a minor one
16:09 Krock       Occlusion PRs are now some instanceof(trend)
16:09 Krock       gladly the formspec ones are gone

16:57 Krock       actually
16:57 Krock       scratch that. including gettext.h is more reliable
16:59 Krock       needs_fallback_font translates to false, if there's no gettext available
16:59 Krock       correct behaviour
