At least that has been my experience. 15:19 LazyJ Players like to decorate with plants as well, so Plant Life has been requested a number of times. 15:19 LazyJ I've held back from installing Plant Life just because of the extra burden it would impose on processing. 15:20 LazyJ I was reluctant to install MoreTrees years ago; warned players that it would increase lag; the regulars were willing to trade lag for the tree varieties. 15:21 LazyJ Creating a mapgen specific version for each of these mods may be the way to go eventually. 15:21 paramat mapgen does need some more decorations and we are working on it, but it needs to be done well. it's unfortunate that technic depends on those, what it needs could be provided another way 15:23 LazyJ From what I have observed over the years is that players don't pay much attention to biome details, particularly young players. 15:24 LazyJ While biome-correct flora does make a difference to the mapgen, over time, players have their own ideas and make what ever fancies them where ever they can. 15:24 paramat yes this is the issue, lack of design taste 15:25 LazyJ Heh. Three year olds haven't developed design tastes yet. :0) 15:25 LazyJ And a few thirty year olds too. 15:26 paramat allowing these as placable decorations is fine 15:26 LazyJ Usually it comes down to how much time and effort the player is willing to invest. 15:27 LazyJ Kids less so than adults 15:27 LazyJ Another part of the game play is clearing the land of *all* flora before building. 15:28 LazyJ Some will even build 1 layer, perfectly flat platforms of dirt over water just as a matter of pragmatic farming. 15:28 paramat but the trees are still too big for the scale of the terrain, even in mgv7. anyway, i'm an adult designer with high standards so most servers will horrify me :] 15:29 LazyJ Water sources under to wet the soil, access to infinite water, or just because the notion of creating a flat island appealed to them. 15:29 LazyJ Aye. Most servers would horrify any mapgen designer. 15:30 LazyJ But one of the principal elements of games like Minetest is the ability to change the landscape. 15:30 LazyJ Be it Nyan Cat and diamond block shacks or castles in the middle of the sea. 15:31 benrob0329 Underwater cities :P 15:31 LazyJ MoreTrees are definitely over-sized, which creates a few problems, but when used by builders of big things, their scale comes in a bit better. 15:32 LazyJ Underwater cities (Atlantis), and for a time underground, "dwarven cities" where all the rage. 15:33 LazyJ Trends come and go, that is about the only thing that remains consistent. :)- 15:34 LazyJ Anyway, MoreTrees, Plant Life, Biome Lib... if players didn't want them, the mods would have not become MT standards. 15:34 LazyJ Not "standards" as in policy but "standards" in that most sought after. 15:48 paramat so i guess i'm the person who should make these more lightweight, maybe i will 15:49 paramat the MTG trees need to be removed by the mod to avoid the inconsistency of scale 15:49 benrob0329 moretrees_rewrite 15:50 paramat and to actually provide some space for the mod trees 15:50 paramat but that might mean losing certain nodes, hmm 15:51 paramat it might be a nightmare i best avoid 15:51 LazyJ My suggestion would be to leave the default MTG trees and keep the mapgen version specific MoreTrees as a separate mod. 15:53 LazyJ Keeping MT light on resources and letting players and servers choose to what degree they want to load-up is a good thing. 15:53 LazyJ Servers that cater to small devices will prefer the lighter, initial setup. 15:54 LazyJ Players and servers with beefier setups can grow into more mods by adding one at a time and keeping an eye on how the load affects things on the server. 15:55 LazyJ There will always be newbie server-ops out there that will try to be *the* server with the most mods installed. 15:56 LazyJ Another problem with removing established default trees is it will affect any mods that depend on the nodes provided by those trees. 15:57 LazyJ I'm faced with a daunting task of converting StairsPlus nodes made from default and former MoreTrees-now-default trees. 15:57 paramat that's the problem i mean above 15:58 LazyJ A knod toward that problem, it's not limited to just the trees, also anything from MoreOres that may be merged into MTG. 15:58 LazyJ Or any old, established mod that is merged into MTG. 15:59 * twoelk looks out of his window and sees trees of many scales growing happily in chaotic harmony 16:00 paramat that's not the 'scale' i mean 16:00 LazyJ There is/was an old mod that was supposed to be a miniaturized version of MoreTrees - "Tiny Trees", I think it was called. 16:03 twoelk I must admit that moretrees was the single mod that got me interested in mt in the first place so I might be biased :-P 16:04 twoelk for a survival version moretrees are a little too difficult to harvest though 16:05 LazyJ mHmm. 16:05 LazyJ Floating trees is a common problem with MoreTrees in survival mode. 16:05 twoelk so are floating jungletrees in mtg 16:05 LazyJ But they do make for more pleasing scenes. 16:06 LazyJ Ahck... not the floating trees, I meant MoreTrees. 16:06 * twoelk has shitloads of pics of moretrees landscape 16:06 LazyJ I'm used to seeing tall pines and towering red woods. 16:08 LazyJ Another factor of my biased preference for MoreTrees stems from the fact that when I stared MT, mapgen v6 was the default but very vacant and mapgen v7 only made a barren stone world. 16:08 twoelk for simple survival gameplay I guess trees need not be higher than the player can reach 16:08 LazyJ Bingo. 16:08 paramat yes, for mapgen reasons MTG trees have to be <= 16 nodes tall 16:09 LazyJ Once I figured out how to add mods, I was able to make my worlds as fuzzy with plant stuff as I wanted. :) 16:09 paramat those mods are more for mgv6 and have not adapted to the new stuff 16:09 LazyJ My main singleplayer world is *very* fuzzy, but I would not attempt that in a server. 16:10 LazyJ mgv6 was the default for so long that it is not surprising if most mapgen altering mods are tuned specifically for it. 16:10 twoelk one of my first personal subgames I called included all plants I could find - lovely landscape and almost unplayable slow mapgen 16:11 LazyJ While the current mgv7 is much better than it used to be and far more interesting than mgv6, for light-weight startup on servers, mgv6 would be my recommendation. 16:11 twoelk I never solved some of the issues with plant decorations fighting each other and cavegen wreckeng all in the end 16:12 LazyJ Much like MTG, rather sparse and not much to work with by intent so users could customize to the extent they want to by adding mods. 16:13 twoelk btw paramat, any underground biome system in the works? 16:13 LazyJ I've learned to take the inconsistencies and irregularities of mapgen altering mods (and the clashes of different versions of mapgens) in stride. 16:14 paramat the bottleneck is in mesh generation, and core mapgen is in a separate thread, so using mgv7 does not slow anything down 16:14 paramat it's just a little more processing 16:15 paramat being able to place underground decorations will be done for 0.5 16:15 LazyJ I'd still recommend mgv6 for servers striving for light resource usage. 16:16 LazyJ Another facet to mgv6 appeal is that the terrain is not so extreme. 16:16 paramat hopefully we will have some actual decorations and biomes added too, but i will need help from others for that 16:16 twoelk I've played in some silver sand desert lately and have been wondering about that biome - it seems sort of unfinished 16:16 LazyJ I should mention that my main singleplayer world is based on paramat's Watershed mapgen so I'm not a flat map lover. 16:16 paramat mgv6 terrain is boring, it's not an appeal 16:17 paramat cold desert, it's a desert so i just added some dry shrubs 16:18 LazyJ Over the years I have observed players clearing and flattening the terrain in mgv6. 16:18 paramat like this SFW http://www.pakistantoursguide.pk/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Cold-desert-at-dusk.%E2%80%94-S.M.Bukhari.jpg 16:18 LazyJ The "appeal" of mgv6 is that of a blank canvas to an artist. 16:19 twoelk I hate it when lakes are built over - but then again Mexico City is a real life example of exactly that happening 16:20 LazyJ Another "appeal", if the server-op has enough past experience with MT, is that it does not have floatlands like mgv7. Not everyone is a fan of those. 16:20 paramat and https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TrDQakH1ZQM/maxresdefault.jpg 16:20 LazyJ Perhaps "appeal" isn't the right word but gets close to the idea. 16:21 twoelk the second pic is not a sand desert :-) 16:21 LazyJ More of a summary to my suggestions would be to have mapgens that range from Singlenode, to flat and plain to fully loaded and surreal. 16:22 twoelk actually rubble and rocky deserts are fare more often than pure sand deserts 16:23 LazyJ Ah-hah! Finally found that small tree mod: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5713 16:25 twoelk http://wiki.minetest.net/Mods:Nature <- the tree section might interest you 16:32 LazyJ Hmmm.... I see in my notes that there is/was a debate about removing the debug screen and/or altering it's composition and layout. 16:34 LazyJ Long rant short, keep the debug info, set it up as an option to enable or disable, add to the existing setup (toggling through F5) a step that draws from a specified list (Fixer's suggestion). 16:35 LazyJ I don't want to see yet another long established, useful feature removed for the sake of one person's mod. 17:17 Megaf where's 11? 17:20 Megaf Shara, I foresee a Roary Tiger joining a particular Minetest server 17:20 Shara >.> 17:20 Shara Well, hello there tiger 17:20 Shara Just as I got here as well 17:20 Shara Hi everyone 17:21 unk hi Shara 17:21 Shara Hi unk :) 17:22 Megaf Shara, you wrote that in the future 17:22 Megaf is 18:22 in my clock 17:23 Megaf 22:26 there in the sign 17:24 Shara >.> 17:41 Megaf I need to sleep 17:41 Megaf or drink coffee 17:41 Shara Or both? 17:41 Megaf have to go to the groceries to get coffee and milk 17:42 Megaf 20 minutes walk 17:42 Megaf water will do 17:49 Megaf Im ashamed of being a human https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As69HtwoMNo 17:49 Megaf this is video #14 on trending 17:49 Megaf so sad... 17:53 Megaf At least I wasn't born in USA 18:10 Megaf Cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrdYueB9pY4 - "Aluminum and Mercury" 18:10 Megaf "When mercury is added to aluminum, it forms an amalgam (a mercury alloy). 18:10 Megaf Aluminum is normally protected by a thick oxide layer, but the formation of the amalgam disrupts it.

I remember you saying that you use pidgin, and i'd be curious if there are enough bridges to do the trick 19:26 tenplus1 lolol, hi ruben 19:26 rubenwardy also, how does that compare to NGINX as a load balancer, Megaf 19:26 benrob0329 rubenwardy: http2 19:26 rubenwardy that too 19:26 Megaf rubenwardy, nginx is a web server 19:27 tenplus1 I only use Pidgin (irc, google chat, aol an duse to be yahoo also) 19:27 rubenwardy nginx is a load balancer and a web server 19:27 Megaf pound only takes care of sending the requests to a domain to the proper web server 19:27 Megaf it can do round robin and other stuff 19:27 rubenwardy so can NGINX 19:27 benrob0329 tenplus1: you use AOL??? 19:27 Megaf it can monitor your servers, if one go down, it will not use that anymore 19:27 rubenwardy so can NGINX 19:28 tenplus1 lol, many many years ago, yes... pidgin is setup for my aol account just incase of emergency :D 19:28 Megaf rubenwardy, but pound was designed for this functions, its nothing more than that 19:28 Megaf What I like about it, tiny use of resources and stupid simple configuration in a single file 19:29 benrob0329 tenplus1: do you use IQC as well :PP 19:29 Megaf ICQ 19:29 * Megaf uses 19:29 tenplus1 ehehe, I did have an icq account but forgot how to login :P 19:29 Megaf on my Pidgin often I have YIM, AIM, ICQ, Bonjour and XMPP 19:30 benrob0329 Eww, lots of old, closed chat services 19:30 tenplus1 surprisingly Yahoo chat was how we updated Xanadu server...

Was nice to look at what you changed :) 20:01 Shara Any thoughts about making max breath settable as well? 20:02 tenplus1 would be good for player stats... the more time you spend underwater the longer you can hold breath :) 20:02 Shara Yea, that's what I'm thinking 20:03 Shara Also possible to have basic diving gear that extends it then 20:03 Krock well, it could be made settable yes, but the magic number "11" for full breath is used in the source code and in several mods 20:03 tenplus1 yeh, if it were to change NOW is the time since compatibility is breaking all over 20:03 Shara Eww magic numbers :P 20:04 Krock -1 would be a way better value to indicate full breath, as the max breath can change dynamically in this case 20:04 Shara I didn't even start looking at breath, but had originally planned to look at both 20:04 * rubenwardy was wondering why he couldn't set a player's max hp 20:04 * rubenwardy hadn't done git pull upstream master 20:04 Shara tenplus1: it also needs to be possible to set max stamina in stamina mod :P 20:04 Krock rubenwardy, heh :P 20:04 tenplus1 the foody part, yeah 20:05 Shara I checked for that a while back too when looking at all of these 20:05 tenplus1 gonna have to find a way to WRAP icons on multiple lines for that one 20:05 Shara Since I wanted my cursed armour mod to be able to adjust all of them 20:05 Shara Yea, the icons was the part that I figured would get complicated 20:06 rubenwardy damnit nerzhul 20:07 rubenwardy I basically have to recompile from scratch 20:07 tenplus1 HUD could use a width/wrap function 20:08 Shara Well, to vary how much of something a player has, you either need to add more of the something, or a way to reduce how quickly it gets removed 20:08 Shara But having more/less of it is easier for the player to understand 20:09 rubenwardy Krock, I'm setting a higher hp after increasing the max hp, however it's not displaying 20:09 tenplus1 unless you use wuzzy's idea of bars with number stats 20:09 rubenwardy get_hp returns the correct hp 20:09 rubenwardy but the hot bar is still the old one 20:09 rubenwardy is the property not synced? 20:09 Shara I wonder about that too, but couldn't test yet 20:09 Shara wondered* 20:12 RobbieF Any chance anyone can look at this? https://github.com/minetest-mods/moretrees/issues/37 20:12 RobbieF it's very serious... servers crash many times per day because of it. 20:12 tenplus1 hi robbie 20:12 RobbieF hey buddy! 20:12 RobbieF how are ya 20:12 tenplus1 tired but okie, clicking link 20:13 RobbieF thanks dude 20:13 RobbieF see my accidental dupe as well - https://github.com/minetest-mods/moretrees/issues/39 20:13 tenplus1 lol 20:23 tenplus1 hi sniper 20:23 Krock RobbieF, hint: use ``` multiline here ``` for the debug.txt output 20:25 RobbieF thanks Krock.. I seem to recall you telling me that about 16 years ago. 20:25 tenplus1 robbie, if you change the config file for moretrees and reduce the moretrees.dates_pollination_distance value right down it shouldnt error 20:26 Krock RobbieF, all 16 years and the issue descriptions will be easier to read somewhen ;) 20:26 RobbieF thanks tenplus1 - what is the conf setting I should place? 20:26 rubenwardy Krock, code you can reproduce with: https://github.com/rubenwardy/hearts 20:26 RobbieF like just moretrees.dates_pollination_distance = 20000; ? 20:27 tenplus1 checking for setting 20:27 RobbieF k thank you 20:27 RobbieF you should comment on the issue too... others having this problem 20:27 tenplus1 default_settings.txt file has it on line 108... 20:27 tenplus1 set from 120 down to say 50 20:28 Krock rubenwardy, if the HP is max_hp, then it'll show 10 hearth icons. scaled on 20 HP nominal 20:28 rubenwardy ah 20:28 RobbieF great thank you tenplus1! I'd never have thought of that. 20:28 rubenwardy so the HUD is done separately 20:28 RobbieF changed to 50 20:28 tenplus1 :) 20:28 Krock see PR comments for the reason why it's "downscaled" 20:28 RobbieF please comment on the issue in case it helps others 20:29 tenplus1 and on that note I sleep now :) nite all 20:29 tenplus1 o/ 20:29 RobbieF night bro 21:08 Fixer maaan 21:08 Fixer those people are so damn annoying on server I joined 21:08 Fixer second I joined those mobile players started to follow me no matter what 23:12 rubenwardy Would anyone be able to travel to Bristol on the 28th of October? 23:12 rubenwardy Freenode is hosting an conference, and I've been invited to exhibit for Minetest 23:12 rubenwardy https://freenode.live/ 23:14 Shara rubenwardy: So you are definitely doing it? 23:15 rubenwardy I'm still not totally decided 23:15 rubenwardy I probably won't do it by myself, idk 23:15 Shara Would you aim for one day or both days? (I think it was running for two?) 23:16 rubenwardy it depends on how much help I'd get, and how I was feeling 23:16 rubenwardy people are welcome just to join for one, however 23:26 rubenwardy oh, and something important I forgot to mention: there's free food for exhibitors 23:32 LazyJ rubenwardy, Bristol is too far of a walk for me. Free food is very tempting but having this growly old man grumbling and muttering in the corner may not be a good image for Minetest. :0)- 23:32 rubenwardy ha lol 23:42 Fixer rubenwardy: nice 23:44 paramat cool, but i'm not keen on attending, sorry :] 23:47 paramat i remember c55 saying that such MT presentations are best done with a stand-up comedian :D 23:47 IhrFussel Are "movement_acceleration_fast = 10" and "movement_speed_fast = 20" still used? And if yes are these the default values? (found in conf example file) 23:47 rubenwardy probably, paramat 23:48 rubenwardy keeping it light is good. But you do also need people that are enthusiastic and can answer questions 23:49 rubenwardy so, a balance :D 23:49 LazyJ Presenting Minetest in a positive light to the public, in person, face-to-face, would be a good thing. 23:49 Shara The hardest part, to begin with, will just be getting people :P 23:49 rubenwardy this sort of conference is developer facing too 23:50 LazyJ A hand shake and warm smile may bolster more interest than a man page. 23:50 rubenwardy and I'm more suited to that than players 23:50 Shara I'd imagine dev interest would be the primary aim 23:50 rubenwardy it is an open source conference 23:50 rubenwardy extra better quality players would be great though 23:51 LazyJ Have some YouTube videos looping on extra monitors. 23:52 LazyJ Demos attendees can play, show casing vanilla MT, modded MT, and source/mod code fiddling. 23:53 LazyJ Where and why MT got started and how it has progressed since and where it is planned to be in the future. 23:53 rubenwardy that's the plan 23:53 rubenwardy not sure how I'm going to lug monitors there though 23:54 LazyJ Got any young relatives that will work for junk food to do the lifting? 23:54 rubenwardy not near me 23:54 rubenwardy and none I'd trust with my monitors 23:54 LazyJ Any family with mini-vans or a pickup for transporting hardware? 23:55 LazyJ "Pickup"... American for a truck. "Lorie"... UK term? 23:56 rubenwardy we don't really have pick ups 23:56 rubenwardy I don't think I've ever seen one, actually 23:56 rubenwardy well, not that I remember 23:56 Fixer maybe they will have monitors anyway? 23:56 LazyJ Another twist, we yankees use "pickup" as both verb and noun. 23:56 rubenwardy we mostly use vans and cars with trailers 23:57 Fixer americans pick ups are big abd overblown, here they are mostly tiny cars compared to us 23:58 LazyJ https://ixquick-proxy.com/do/spg/show_picture.pl?l=english&rais=1&oiu=https%3A%2F%2Fs.aolcdn.com%2Fcommerce%2Fautodata%2Fimages%2FCAB00FOT111B0101.jpg&sp=928fd7da520151261b9609d0f4160a69 23:58 Fixer to US* 23:59 Fixer i have not seen this at all here (or it is ultra-rare), of much smaller size - yes, like usual small car but pickup 23:59 paramat yeah UK has pickups, rare, but they're just small cars chopped
