10:32 Beton joined #minetest-dev
10:36 nerzhul sfan5 did you take a second time to review my PR on prom please ?
10:36 sfan5 yes I'll look at it later
10:39 Krock sfan5: why is Mapgen::setDefaultSettings(m_map_settings); in makeMapgenParams() not enough?
10:40 Krock checking differences...
10:41 sfan5 Krock: that would be equivalent to what we had before, still broken
10:42 sfan5 the problem is that if map_settings["mgv7_spflags"] exists, it will always overwrite user_settings["mgv7_spflags"]
10:43 Krock after some testing I found that  Settings::clearDefaultsNoLock()  lacks of a m_flags.clear()
10:43 Krock map_settings is map_meta.txt so that's intended
10:44 Krock default settings -> game/minetest.conf -> global minetest.conf -> map_meta.txt
10:44 sfan5 I know
10:44 sfan5 but if you put the default value into map_settings, the default will overwrite anything from user_settings
10:45 nerzhul i will publish postgres auth backend this weekend :)
10:47 Krock defaults should never overwrite regular setting values
10:47 sfan5 they don't, but they do the way it's done here
10:49 Krock sounds like a bug within Settings
10:50 sfan5 no
10:53 sfan5 Krock: this is the situation http://sprunge.us/plxE3C?c
10:54 sfan5 should be s/user_settings/map_settings/ on line 9
10:55 Krock thank you. now it makes sense
10:56 Krock I'll work on another PR though, trying to clean up the mess a bit
10:57 sfan5 Settings should have "layered" defaults that can be independently (re-)set
10:57 sfan5 this would also allow adding per-world configs
10:58 Krock I'd rather have a Settings *defaults  pointer which can be used as a daisy-chain of default values
10:58 Krock that would make it layered, as you said
10:59 Krock (*defaults ptr in place of m_defaults)
10:59 sfan5 how would a remove a specific layer if I don't know how often to do g_settings->defaults->defaults->... ?
11:00 Krock it would remove the setting that is defined first
11:00 Krock go deeper if none is defined
11:01 Krock and for writing it's pretty much clear how to deal with it. core.settings is minetest.conf, game/minetest.conf is not written to, neither are the default settings
11:01 Krock and map_meta.txt is exposed using core.get_mapgen_setting
11:02 Krock assuming the defaults are always on the bottom of the chain, it'll have a write-lock for removing settings
11:03 Krock looking into implementing this
11:03 Krock unless .. are there logic errors or edge cases I missed?
11:07 erlehmann joined #minetest-dev
11:11 Wuzzy joined #minetest-dev
11:18 sfan5 I prefer replacing "SettingEntries m_defaults" with "std::map<int, SettingEntries> m_defaults"
11:18 Krock rc/client/mapblock_mesh.cpp:926:6: warning: ‘waving’ may be used uninitialized
11:18 sfan5 then you can explicitly put defaultsettings into m_defaults[0], game settings into [1], world settings into [2]
11:19 sfan5 and also clear them independently when unload a game/world
11:20 Krock I see
11:21 Krock or even..  "std::map<some_enum, Settings*> m_defaults"
11:22 Krock where all active settings are self-contained within the map
11:22 Krock could be a global map
11:23 sfan5 an entire Settings object is kinda more than what would be necessary, but they do need to get loaded from file somehow (which only `Settings` can do)...
11:23 sfan5 why global? every settings object (including g_settings) can have this priority-based layers of defaults
11:27 Krock global would ensure the priorities are always the same
11:27 sfan5 hm
11:27 Krock say, if we used a global map + enum, settings could be addressed as follows:  g_settings[SETTINGS_WORLD]   and modify settings there
11:27 sfan5 if MapSettingsManager were to use this system it might need different priority values
11:28 sfan5 so it would suffice to just say that g_settings always has a specific set of priorities
11:28 Krock MapSettingsManager would be the top most priority, although core.settings would only read the setting values from lower priorities
11:28 Krock *starting from lower priorities
11:29 sfan5 there's no need to modify and/or write the world settings is there? like I said before you don't really need a Settings object, SettingsEntires would be enough
11:30 Krock it would be good to have fallbacks there, and to have core.set_mapgen_setting()  working
11:30 Krock or do you mean a potential world/minetest.conf ?
11:31 sfan5 yes
11:31 sfan5 you wouldn't need a "full" Settings object there, because you would never write it
11:31 sfan5 same with the game config, it's loaded once and read-only from there
11:33 Krock I'm pretty sure there will be mods that want to write to world/minetest.conf quite fast
11:34 Krock -quite fast
11:34 Krock as for default settings and game/minetest.conf - yes, those may not be written to
11:38 Wuzzy I can't seem to get minetest.get_translated_string() to work. it always returns the untranslated string, no matter what i do
11:39 Krock oh, it's merged already?
11:40 Wuzzy yes
11:40 Wuzzy but maybe its related to the fact that translations are currently broken on linux
11:40 sfan5 works for me
11:40 Wuzzy what's your OS?
11:41 sfan5 do you expect me to say "Linux"
11:41 Wuzzy I expect you to say the truth ?
11:42 sfan5 well it's Linux
11:42 sfan5 "Stroh"
11:42 sfan5 2020-04-25 13:41:58: ACTION[Server]: singleplayer executed print(dump(core.get_translated_string("de", core.registered_items["farming:straw"].description)))
11:42 Wuzzy I type in '/lua minetest.get_translated_string("de", "Dirt")' but get "Dirt" ?
11:42 Wuzzy ohhhh
11:43 Wuzzy does this function expect me to input the S()'ed string???
11:43 sfan5 of course
11:43 Wuzzy that's a surprise
11:43 sfan5 how else would it know what "Dirt" means?
11:43 Krock well, it could add S() automatically
11:43 sfan5 no
11:43 Wuzzy because of the context, i guess
11:43 sfan5 it doesn't know the textdomain you want
11:43 Wuzzy i see
11:44 Krock ESC(t@textdomain) or something like that. indeed, S() also contains the textdomain info :3
11:44 Wuzzy i see
11:44 sfan5 the documentation could be improved, I guess
11:44 Wuzzy okay, but this is definitely a stumbling stone for modders, as you can clearly see
11:45 Wuzzy aha! I got it
11:45 Wuzzy it works now. cool
11:46 Wuzzy so it boils down to modder error, lol. and bad docs ?
11:46 sfan5 I wonder, does it also remove coloring sequences?
11:46 Wuzzy thanks
11:46 sfan5 that could be considered a feature, or a bug
11:46 Wuzzy good question ?
11:46 Wuzzy well we do have an utility function to remove color codes
11:46 Krock that would break languages that are based on colors rather than words /s
11:46 sfan5 do we?
11:46 Krock separate in Lua and C++, yes
11:47 Krock unescape_enriched
11:47 sfan5 ah yes minetest.strip_colors
11:47 sfan5 didn't save me from writing this code though https://github.com/Uberi/Minetest-WorldEdit/blob/master/worldedit_commands/init.lua#L127
11:49 Wuzzy sfan5: I never pass color codes into S(). I apply colorization *after* translation
11:49 Wuzzy works 100%
11:49 sfan5 the other way around would be wrong, yes
11:51 proller joined #minetest-dev
11:57 Krock would be great to forbid string concat or string.format within S()... that's also common modder errors
11:57 Krock although concat is needed to break lines too

12:39 sfan5 Wuzzy: if you start with "minetest --verbose" what does the log say about gettext or locales?
12:41 Wuzzy 2020-04-25 14:40:53: INFO[Main]: Message locale is now set to: LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=de_DE.UTF-8;LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8;LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.UTF-8;LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8;LC_NAME=de_DE.UTF-8;LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8;LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8;LC_MEASUREME
12:41 Wuzzy 2020-04-25 14:40:53: INFO[Main]: NT=de_DE.UTF-8;LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE.UTF-8
12:42 sfan5 anything else?
12:42 Wuzzy 2020-04-25 14:40:53: INFO[Main]: USE_GETTEXT=1
12:42 Wuzzy I can't find any other info. too verbose ?
12:43 Wuzzy What do I have to look for?
12:44 sfan5 an error message maybe, but there isn't one
12:44 Wuzzy there's also 2020-04-25 14:44:27: INFO[Main]: Using in-place locale directory /home/wuzzy/src/minetest/git-master/bin/../locale even though a static one was provided (RUN_IN_PLACE or CUSTOM_LOCALEDIR).
12:45 Wuzzy but I always had this (and locales worked back then), shouldnt be a problem
12:48 sfan5 Wuzzy: run "strace -o trace.txt -e open,openat ./bin/minetest", exit from the mainmenu again
12:48 sfan5 then open trace.txt and search the output for minetest.mo
12:53 Wuzzy ah
12:53 Wuzzy openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/local/share/locale/de_DE.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/minetest.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden)

12:53 Wuzzy openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/local/share/locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/minetest.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden)

12:53 Wuzzy openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/local/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/minetest.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden)
12:53 Wuzzy looks into /usr/local/share ...
12:54 Wuzzy but in 5.2.0 (the working version), it looks into my local src directory, where the file is found
12:55 sfan5 why would it look there when the log message says that it found an in-place directory?
12:57 Wuzzy i have no idea
12:58 Wuzzy RUN_IN_PLACE=0 btw
12:58 Wuzzy but the weird thing is. it worked with RUN_IN_PLACE=0 in 5.2.0 for some reason o_O
12:59 sfan5 https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/src/porting.cpp#L601
12:59 sfan5 it makes sense that this is broken now, but it should be printing "Using locale directory ...", not the other message
13:01 Wuzzy bad/confusing log message?
13:01 Wuzzy this explains stuff
13:04 sfan5 what is STATIC_LOCALEDIR in your cmake_config.h?
13:04 Wuzzy sfan5: does 8b45f6a5f3eac7030cdc12d729066ccef4794502 fix hudbars as well? or is this unrelated?
13:05 sfan5 I don't know what's wrong with hudbars in the first place so I can't answer that
13:05 Wuzzy "/usr/local/share/locale"
13:06 sfan5 yeah, then the code should be printing "Using locale directory /usr/local/share/locale" and will use that directory (as you can see in strace output)
13:06 sfan5 but if it prints "Using in-place locale directory ..." that means it should work correctly

19:14 Zughy joined #minetest-dev
19:23 Zughy hey there, a question about collisions: I was having a look at Irrlicht and I seem to understand it manages collisions by default. So I was wondering, why exactly Minetest doesn't? I mean, in Lua, particles aside
19:24 rubenwardy Minetest handles collisions itself
19:25 Zughy I'm talking about something like "player.is_colliding"
19:26 rubenwardy Irrlicht doesn't know how to do it well with voxel geometry
19:26 rubenwardy player collision is client-side not server-side, but the server can recalculate it
19:26 rubenwardy in 5.3.0-dev, entity collisions will be exposed to Lua
19:27 Zughy so we will be able to actually check them somehow?
19:28 nephele rubenwardy, also entity physics? :)
19:34 Krock Zughy: the server also doesn't know when free_move is enabled, or noclip
