Time Nick Message 01:00 Natechip pls see what I said in #minetest-dev 01:01 Shara Natechip: Even I won't try compiling on Windows anymore 01:01 Shara I've done it before, but the headaches... 01:02 Natechip Shara: im just stuck on LIB /DEF:sqlite3.def /OUT:sqlite3.lib 01:02 Natechip it says LIB isnt a command 01:03 Shara Hmm, I don't remember seeing anything like that 01:03 Shara But it's been a while since I tried 01:04 Natechip Shara: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/tree/stable-0.4 01:04 Shara If I need to compile, I switch to Linux 01:05 Shara Sorry, but I won't even try it again after the last time. 01:05 Natechip what happened? 01:05 Shara Just kept running into problem after problem 01:05 Shara I can't spend hours compiling if I want to test something 01:05 Shara Linux = minutes 01:05 Natechip all I need is sqlite3.lib XD I wonder if someone can somehow get it for me 01:07 Natechip Shara: it would probably help if I knew what visual studio thing im suppose to install :/ 01:07 Shara I used 2013, but not sure if it makes a difference 01:07 Shara It just happened to be what I had here 01:08 Shara It might now, since things were updated 01:08 Natechip well do I get community or what 01:08 Shara I have no idea 01:09 Natechip what did u get when u tried 01:09 Shara I just told you what I used 01:09 Shara VS 2013 01:09 Natechip it just says Visual Studio 2017... 01:09 Shara Then yours is more recent, and should be better than what I had 01:10 ThomasMonroe community would work 01:10 Natechip all I see is one for VS Code, VS Community, VS Pro, VS Entr. 01:10 ThomasMonroe community 01:10 Natechip k 01:10 Natechip thx 01:10 ThomasMonroe though after 30 days youre going to need to sign up to keep working in it 01:10 Natechip meh 01:11 ThomasMonroe its still free, but they want to make sure you are serious about it XD 01:11 Natechip lol 01:12 Natechip watch soon enough your going to need to sign up to play minetest and have a registered account name XD 01:12 Shara I wonder if compiling on WIndows is worse than fighting formspecs... I actually realised I'm not sure. 01:13 Natechip Shara: a new thing that would be good is a easier way to compile on windows 01:13 Shara Agreed, it would be very good. But not something I'd know how to do 01:13 Shara I mostly just write mods and run servers 01:14 Natechip Shara: u think I would be able to make a simple bat file to do all this? 01:16 Natechip might take some work... 01:16 Natechip anyway 01:16 Natechip Im ganna restart one sec 01:22 Shara Welcome back Natechip 01:22 Natechip thx 01:24 Natechip why isnt LIB working O_O 01:28 * Natechip claps 01:28 Natechip lib.exe is missing from VS 2017 01:28 Natechip -_- 01:38 Natechip oh 01:38 Natechip I got it 01:43 ThomasMonroe is it working for you now? 01:55 Natechip ThomasMonroe: sloooowwwlllyyy downloading VS 2015 01:55 ThomasMonroe heh, yeah it takes a while 02:13 Natechip ThomasMonroe: connection problems? 02:24 ThomasMonroe nope, just trying out soe things 02:24 ThomasMonroe some* 02:54 Natechip Shara: this is harder than I thought 02:54 Natechip ive got a work around though... 02:55 Natechip im hoping I can create something to make this easier for the others 05:21 lordfingle Greetings Minetenticles! 08:50 CWz anyone know anything about FGH, a griefer. 08:52 CWz anyone know anything about FGH and AngelX007GR, griefers. 08:53 Raven262 Under those names, nope. 08:53 Raven262 Might be anyone though. 09:18 Megaf Greetings 09:19 Megaf Hi shivajiva Raven262 09:20 Raven262 Hi Megaf 09:41 shivajiva Hiya Megaf, Raven o/ 09:46 CWz I know that this might come off as reverse-assed question but, is it possible to change my server to a lower postion of the public serverlist? 09:47 * shivajiva polishes his handrolled auth handler 09:47 shivajiva CWz turn it off for a bit, that will drop you in the ranks 09:48 shivajiva or get a hoard of mobile users playing, that will affect it :) 09:52 Raven262 Hi shivajiva 10:01 CWz Will have to figure out how to setup sban without luarocks. hopefully won't be too difficult 10:06 Krock CWz, reset the age, compile the binary so it announces a higher ping or player count 10:06 Krock or even report an old protocol version, which will definitely make yours as one of the most lowest servers 10:10 sfan5 Krock: ping is determined by the server list 10:10 sfan5 announcing a lower player count does not matter either as you'd need to actually omit players from your list 10:10 sfan5 simplest way is to reset the age of your world 10:12 Krock sfan5, eh, I meant "lag", not ping :3 10:13 sfan5 *checks code* 10:13 Krock https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/src/serverlist.cpp#L225 10:13 sfan5 Krock: that value does not matter actually 10:14 sfan5 probably because nobody really understood what it was supposed to mean 10:14 Krock hehe :) 10:14 sfan5 (matter = have any effect on serverlist placement) 10:15 sfan5 wait you linked the game_time value, now i'm confused 10:20 IhrFussel Hi there, I'll try again: How can I make the face of the node rotate to the PLAYER on_place? place_param2 and minetest.rotate_node seem to be wrong 10:22 IhrFussel I looked at the default:chest code and cannot find the parameter or function that makes this possible 10:22 sfan5 paramtype2 = "facedir", legacy_facedir_simple = true, seems to work just fine (default:furnace from minimal) 10:23 IhrFussel Oh so it's the legacy_facedir_simple = true bit? 10:25 IhrFussel The name of that parameter doesn't sound THAT inviting cause it says "legacy" which many see as "deprecated" 10:26 shivajiva hmm legacy and deprecated are not the same 10:27 IhrFussel No but you gotta admit the name of this parameter doesn't make it sound like "current way to rotate the node to the player" 10:27 sfan5 i think that param just switches from the "new" 6dir facedir to 4dir facedir 10:27 sfan5 it shouldn't affect placing the node 10:27 shivajiva a legacy implies support, deprecated implies desist from using it 10:28 shivajiva imho :) 10:31 IhrFussel shivajiva, yes you're right and sfan5 that parameter really doesn't turn the node by any means...so I'm not sure what I'm missing I got paramtype2 = "facedir" in the definition 10:32 sfan5 IhrFussel: here's code that definitely works http://sprunge.us/IAjW?lua 10:35 shivajiva looking at my code I seem to use legacy_facedir_simple = true for chests to get the orientation correct 10:36 IhrFussel sfan5, why wouldn't this work then :/ https://pastebin.com/R8TZL0Ei 10:36 shivajiva which clearly matches what sfan5 stated 10:38 shivajiva https://pastebin.com/CVrMnmT1 10:39 shivajiva see what I mean 10:40 shivajiva o/ 10:40 Krock o/ 10:41 IhrFussel Okay I think the problem was that the front tile wasn't the last specified 10:41 shivajiva :) 10:51 IhrFussel So legacy_facedir_simple = true is only required if I want my nodes to work on maps that were created <= 2012 ? 10:52 paramat IhrFussel you didn't clearly specify what rotation behaviour you wanted. good question about how chests rotate, i can't see how they rotate to face the player yet 10:52 paramat oh and yes, facedir simple is very old stuff 10:52 IhrFussel paramat, paramtype2 = "facedir" does rotate them to the player, but I misplaced the tiles 10:53 paramat ahh i was wondering if it did 10:54 IhrFussel I didn't know that the front tile HAS TO be the last one specified 11:01 shivajiva if you are using more than a single image I believe the order must be followed for the node to tile correctly 11:11 IhrFussel I'll kepp that in mind now^^ ... another question: does the post_effect_color parameter of a node only apply when the head is inside the node? 11:11 IhrFussel keep* 11:12 IhrFussel I'm guessing it's like water/lava 11:17 sfan5 indeed, i think it was made specifically for liquids 11:50 CWz rubenwardy, congrats on being upgraded to gold 11:53 Krock ^ not gold, just yellow. gold would have some nice 2000-style blinky animations 12:00 sfan5 Minetest Forums™ gold membership© 12:01 IhrFussel What does the engine do if a Japanese app let's players enter a Japanese name? Does the server reject the name? 12:01 IhrFussel lets* 12:02 sfan5 yes 12:03 IhrFussel Is the name check only server-side? Like if the server owner was a pro in c++ and changes the engine to accept Japanese characters for names would it work? 12:04 sfan5 yes 12:04 sfan5 however it's very likely that doing so will cause random problems to crop up anywhere 12:05 Calinou I wonder if compiling on WIndows is worse than fighting formspecs... I actually realised I'm not sure. 12:05 Calinou Shara: it would be much easier if it worked out of the box with MSYS2 12:06 Calinou I think I'll open an issue about this, but it's probably CMake's fault (or the Minetest CMake files) 12:06 Shara I still haven't decided which is worse here. Formspecs do not like me. 12:07 Calinou with MSYS2, I can compile ioquake3, Yamagi Quake 2, gifsicle, Urho3D… pretty easily 12:07 Calinou you just install dependencies using pacman (like on Arch Linux, but the package names are different) then you can use `make` or whatever is needed 12:09 Shara Something to simplify it all would be nice, though I moved over to using Linux any time I wanted to compile it myself quite a long time back. 12:10 Calinou MSYS2 makes it easy, without needing to use the WSL to cross-compile to Windows (or a virtual machine) 12:10 Fixer Calinou: minetest is easily done too, just replace make with mingw-make 12:11 Fixer in buildbot 12:11 Fixer i wonder if i need to update my msys2 12:13 IhrFussel I find nerzhul's network PR very interesting... seems like the code using ASIO is much more tiny 12:13 sfan5 IhrFussel: that's because asio is a 2 megabyte librarys 12:13 sfan5 s/s$// 12:13 Calinou Fixer: yeah but I don't want to use buildbot 12:13 Calinou just manual git clone + cmake + make 12:13 Calinou it's simpler, and allows me to use the MSYS2 packages 12:14 Fixer yes 12:14 Calinou this works for other software, it ought to work for Minetest :P 12:14 Fixer minetest hates to work 12:14 IhrFussel sfan5, I see...did you agree to using it before he opened the PR? 12:15 Fixer mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc-7.2.0-1 12:15 Fixer .____. 12:15 sfan5 no, why would i need to agree to something he works on himself 12:15 IhrFussel Cause I imagine it to be extremely frustrating to edit thousands of lines of code just to be potentially rejected 12:16 sfan5 just because i dislike it doesn't have to mean it can't get merged 12:17 IhrFussel I didn't say you won't merge it...I thought he talked to the other core devs beforehand and that you basically gave him green light 12:17 sfan5 nah, however he did announce that he wanted to rewrite the networking stack before 12:18 IhrFussel And you dislike the whole idea of rewriting? Or just using ASIO? 12:19 sfan5 i prefer not adding another external library for what is essentially bind()+accept()+epoll() and send()/recv() 12:21 IhrFussel I guess the real question is if it significantly increases the performance of the network stack... and if that increase is enough to justify such a big library 12:23 IhrFussel I looked at the "projects that use ASIO" page and wasn't able to recognize any "big players" 12:25 sfan5 that's not what counts really 12:26 IhrFussel sfan5, of course not but to see that big companies use a certain library makes it somewhat more reliable...or not? 12:27 sfan5 mmm a little maybe 12:28 IhrFussel Well if we merge it we can add Minetest to that list xP 13:27 ThomasMonroe wb Raven 13:57 Krock The background story of how privileges multiply: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=18574 13:58 Krock oh well my bitchange mod hasn't got a much better name either :P 13:58 Calinou are there issues on GitHub about making privilege management easier? 13:58 Calinou such as granting several privileges at once to a player 13:58 Calinou defining sets of privileges to grant/revoke them all at once 13:59 Calinou (eg. "moderator", granting "ban, give, basic_privs, rollback") 13:59 rubenwardy wat 13:59 rubenwardy privilege sex? 13:59 Calinou Krock: also, I'm having issues accessing to minetest.net and its subdomains, my ISP is having issues with the provider, someone who's using the same ISP as me has the same issue 13:59 rubenwardy privilege se 13:59 rubenwardy https://github.com/emperaormicah/privilegesex 14:00 Calinou celeron55: https://hastebin.com/sawosuvite.txt 14:00 rubenwardy at least put an underscore, com'on 14:00 rubenwardy urgh, why does a paste bin require JS 14:00 sfan5 Calinou: works for me 14:00 Calinou yeah, it's just my ISP apparently, also happens in 4G (whose network is owned by the same ISP) 14:12 nerzhul asio is header only 14:13 nerzhul but yes it's another dep, and it can be added to lib/ folder if needed to prevent boost installation on most systems (as asio can use boost or c++11 depending on ASIO_STANDALONE flag) 14:13 nerzhul sfan5, asio is not only bind + accept + epoll, it's portable accross all systems, and manage the MTU properly as it seems (in TCP mode) 14:14 sfan5 you don't need to manage mtu with tcp 14:14 sfan5 also i'm aware it does more but come on, portability isn't that hard 14:16 sfan5 wait does asio depend on boost? 14:16 nerzhul exact it's not hard, also i really like the asio interface, and i think if it's added asio interfaces can be used on non networking part when needed, for example to do defered packet compression + sending for mapblocks (outside of server loop) 14:16 nerzhul not for us 14:16 nerzhul ASIO_STANDALONE flag is set in cmakelists 14:16 sfan5 ah, ok 14:16 nerzhul but it has both for old systems compat 14:16 sfan5 we don't need support for symbian tho 14:17 nerzhul if you install asio it install boost, in archlinux too :), but just for non C++11 programs 14:17 nerzhul if we embed it in lib/ it should be sufficient 14:18 nerzhul this PR is not finished yet, it's mainly a PoC, i need to add UDP part for non reliable packets (more simple part than our current part). The current TCP part is correctly working 14:18 nerzhul i'm launching a MT server on my dedicated to ensure all works properly over wan 14:20 nerzhul wow 14:20 nerzhul it loads instanly in minimal over wan, imprssive :p 14:24 nerzhul same with MT_game but there is a mapblock loading issue it seems, i should verify if it's not due to the loading speed 14:26 nerzhul sfan5, i don't know if we can retrieve rtt/jitter in this model, i hope so 14:26 Calinou hmm 14:26 Calinou why are you rewriting the protocol to TCP? 14:26 Calinou that's just calling for repeating Minecraft's mistakes 14:26 nerzhul TCP + UDP using ASIO 14:26 Calinou (which still has lag spikes in 2017!) 14:26 Calinou why not UDP + ENet? 14:27 nerzhul enet has no IPv6 14:27 Calinou forks :) 14:27 nerzhul no 14:27 Calinou the fork in Godot has full IPv6 support 14:27 nerzhul i prefer production grade library, enet is not very used 14:27 nerzhul and has cons 14:27 Calinou it is production-grade, Godot and Cube/Cube 2 games use it 14:27 Calinou and some commercial games too 14:27 Calinou also, "this is a game, not a banking application" :) 14:27 nerzhul actually i just want to see if this implementation works as intended 14:27 sfan5 Calinou: hey that's my sentence 14:28 sfan5 i don't look forward to rewriting the server list pinging code if we switch to enet 14:28 nerzhul i don't care about game vs banking apps, banking apps are generally stack of shits which just work :p 14:28 nerzhul pinging my tcp implementation should be easy, it's open/close or open/init/response/close in tcp 14:28 rubenwardy Monzo is good 14:28 rubenwardy 14:29 Calinou pinging with ENet is definitely possible 14:29 Calinou (and getting server info) 14:29 Calinou (that's what Cube/Cube 2 does, it doesn't use HTTP for the master server) 14:30 nerzhul let me finish this PoC, if not viable i will re-study enet, but really i don't like their implementation :p 14:30 sfan5 Calinou: i wasn't saying it's not possible, i just would prefer not being forced to adjust the code in the server list 14:31 nerzhul the current rewrite permits to understand what MT really needs for an event based proper network protocol, enet is like that too, then this poc can be re-used, you just need to change interfaces 14:32 Calinou if there's no lag spikes, then I'm ok with it 14:33 Calinou but lag spikes shouldn't happen in any case, not even on intercontinental gameplay 14:33 Calinou (US <-> EU) 14:34 nerzhul i understand, world of warcraft uses TCP + UDP (mainly TCP) and there is no lag, except when servers are overheated :p 14:34 nerzhul in singleplayer mapblock loading from mtg are as fast as in UDP (mapgen performance 15:24 * Krock wonders why the locally saved map from a doesn't work 15:24 * Krock sets backend = sqlite3 after the failure of mintestmapper 15:25 Krock well yeah, there's not much to read from the disk when there's "dummy" 17:21 shivajiva https://github.com/shivajiva101/sauth 17:27 paramat mgv7 seed 0 has a good spawn on an island with 2 nice stone arches 17:30 Shara paramat: just checked it quickly.. would be rather hard to play from. No trees anywhere :P 17:31 paramat heh yes. 3 arches actually 17:31 rdococ heh 17:31 paramat one of which looks like a big zero 17:31 rdococ "dummy" 17:32 Shara It would be nice if you started in a biome that has trees 17:32 Natechip seed 0 has lots of water :P 17:32 * Shara goes to spy at sauth instead 17:36 nerzhul i fixed my asio packet orderning issue :) i haven't followed example implementation on writing and there was data race issue betwee nasio threads and MT threads, now it works perfect :D 17:37 nerzhul if somes want to test network rewrite PR (https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/6485) go to unix-experience.fr port 30001 17:39 paramat i found a single bush on the island! .. 1 wood plank 17:39 Krock Robinson, you're rescued! 17:39 shivajiva lol hard times for a survival map 17:40 Shara Seems normal for 7 17:41 Shara I always seem to get stuck in endless snow/desert/silver sand 17:41 sfan5 am i still the only one frequently confusing silver sand and snow? 17:41 Shara The colours are very different to me 17:43 paramat "Zero Island" 17:43 Natechip sfan5: Never confuses me, pretty different colors 17:43 sfan5 :/ 17:44 Natechip sfan5: you could change the texture if u need to be more dark 17:46 paramat anyway there are surrounding islands a short swim away 17:53 paramat the ripples of silver sand might be a little snowlike, but it's a little too grey for snow 17:58 Natechip paramat: I saw trees in the distance 18:00 Natechip ugh I need to reinstall gimp 18:00 Natechip :/ 18:00 Natechip maybe ill try https://www.gimp.org/downloads/devel/ :D 18:16 IhrFussel Regarding the network PR: Please do NOT make a mistake where we will have to SPLIT the MT userbase yet AGAIN ... the 0.5.0 split is critical enough, so I suggest you to add whatever breaking features you want to add to 0.5.0 and maybe delay the release instead 18:17 IhrFussel Don't think about yourselves core devs, think about the server owners for once! 18:20 paramat this network work is for the far future, maybe even 0.6.0 18:20 paramat well maybe not 'far' 18:21 IhrFussel It will be difficult enough to make the players switch to 0.5.0 sometime soon when it's readily available for several platforms 18:21 paramat this won't be for 0.5.0 18:21 IhrFussel nerzhul seemed to want to add it to 0.5.0 through...it's still 2 months 18:21 IhrFussel though* 18:22 paramat maybe i misunderstood 18:22 IhrFussel Why won't you just add everything necessary to ONE combined version instead of splitting the community every 2 years?? 18:22 paramat but i doubt it would be ready and tested for 0.5.0 18:23 paramat 'obviously we never think of server owners' ;) 18:23 IhrFussel We server owners need ONE basic version with no breakages later on where we can just freely add more features onto the existing code 18:24 nerzhul IhrFussel, 0.5 already split the user base protocol is bumped to last version 18:24 nerzhul changing transport doesn't change anything 18:24 IhrFussel nerzhul, I was talking about a stupid 0.6 breakage in the future 18:24 nerzhul it depend on the contract with user base 18:25 paramat 0.4.0 was 5 years ago 18:25 nerzhul it's the problem with MT community, we have strong user base, and volatile userbase but second is the most important 18:25 IhrFussel You make servers lose players with breakages that's why I suggest break everything NOW and don't break anything later on 18:25 nerzhul paramat, yeah it was in the early MT stage 18:25 * rdococ spontaneously explodes, being volatile. 18:26 nerzhul IhrFussel, and i agree with you on that point 18:26 paramat we're moving to a new major version, it's not something that can be avoided, otherwise you'd be stuck with 0.3 and no modding 18:26 nerzhul 0.5 was done massively to cleanup & do the breakage we need, i don't think a 0.6 can happen soon as many many points in MT are now fixed, only network part is for me the remaining point 18:26 paramat no breakages == no progress 18:26 nerzhul it's why i'm working on this now 18:26 rdococ I mean, it's not like the majority of servers are going to update to 0.5.0 until it's released. 18:26 nerzhul paramat, it's wrong, breakage = fix hardcore unmaintainable part 18:27 IhrFussel I'm not against a 0.5.0 ... but I would rather want to have a delayed 0.5.0 with all breakages necessary for the future instead of having a breaking 0.6 in 1-2 years 18:27 nerzhul except network and server scripting/server loop contension we don't have anymoer difficult point 18:27 rdococ So I don't think breakages are that much of a problem. 18:27 nerzhul IhrFussel, the date is not fixed 18:27 IhrFussel 0.6.0* 18:27 nerzhul we have a 0.4.17 planned for bugfixed at a point, maybe in november, we should decide on an exact date and take 1 Month to prepare the commits to stable-0.4 18:28 paramat breakages mean players shift to other servers, MT doesn't lose them, no bad thing 18:28 nerzhul 0.5 should be released when done, if we loose a little bit time but we have an intermediate 0.4.17 it's not so important 18:28 nerzhul my ASIO PR is nearly complete i think, i need the UDP part for unreliable trafic like player movements and we will be nice 18:30 IhrFussel I was talking about the future though...IMO it is WRONG to even think about a 0.6.0 already cause that implies "oh there are some features that will break compat again sometime in thr future" 18:30 IhrFussel Why not implement them into 0.5.0 if you already plan them?? 18:30 nerzhul IhrFussel, yeah, and i doesn't want to wait X years to make network rework happen :p 18:30 rubenwardy time 18:30 paramat sorry me mentioning 0.6 was a misunderstanding 18:30 rubenwardy we could delay by a few more months to properly test 18:31 paramat we don't even want to think about it 18:31 nerzhul rubenwardy, i think it's more reasonable 18:31 rubenwardy I'd be happy with the PR if it was sufficiently tested 18:31 paramat i'm happy to delay 0.5.0 as long as needed 18:32 IhrFussel Yes please just delay 0.5.0 if necessary...it will take LOTS of months for most servers to upgrade anyway cause iOS users will have a bad time 18:32 paramat i didn't realise this network stuff might be for 0.5, good news 18:32 nerzhul paramat, i didn't realize it too, but i got some time and motivation to work on it, trashing the whole network stack and rewriting it from scratch with asio lib :p 18:33 paramat even mentioning MT 0.6 gives me that 'explody head' feeling *=/ 18:34 nerzhul i don't see any MT 0.6 interest if network is reworked 18:34 nerzhul another point which should be done is the CSM mod sending 18:34 nerzhul we need it for 0.5 18:34 nerzhul and some CSM pr should be reviewed and merge 18:34 nerzhul or adopted 18:34 rubenwardy CSM mod sending is fine for a 5.1 imo 18:35 nerzhul rubenwardy, there is not breakage for a such thing yes, but it's a soft breakage 18:35 nerzhul if a server wants to use CSM mod sending and 0.5.0 client connects it's a problem :) 18:35 nerzhul https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/6072 https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/6067 & https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/5797 18:35 nerzhul they need to be adopted and merged 18:35 paramat yeah server provided CSM is the more important part of CSM i feel 18:36 nerzhul i don't have the specs in my head, but i think we can use archives and some validation methods client side on the archive files for example 18:36 nerzhul i added my server informations on #6485 PR for testers 18:37 Megaf Welcome back myself! 18:40 IhrFussel rubenwardy, paramat nerzhul: I'm not trying to call you out on the "poor" work you've done to the engine/project ... you are doing it great, really. It's just not very motivating for a server owner to hear "hey by the way in X years you will lose some players for new features again" 18:42 IhrFussel To build a playerbase on a server takes hard work ... and these breakages just destroy and sh** all over that work 18:43 rubenwardy well, thanks for your feedback 18:46 Megaf :D 18:46 Megaf MATE Desktop 18:58 RoaryTiger Shara, \o/ 18:58 paramat so don't worry Ihr, it was a misunderstanding 18:59 Fixer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ6ZzJeWgpY 19:07 IhrFussel paramat, I know and I wouldn't criticize all those breakages as much if we could reliably say "players will always use the newest version" ... that is not the case cause (80?)% of mobile users use a 3rd-party-app which isn't up-to-date or have an iDevice 19:07 Krock Fixer, "If the playback doesn't start soon, then we recommend to restart your device." oh great, youtube 19:12 Fixer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxKOCmW-EiI this also damn good, blew my mind, made with open source 19:15 IhrFussel I log the protocol version for each joining player and 27,622(!) use version 27 19:16 tenplus1 hi folks 19:16 Krock hi tenplus1 19:16 tenplus1 o/ krock :) 19:18 IhrFussel Only 8K players who joined have 0.4.16 (prot vers 32) 19:18 tenplus1 hi fussel 19:18 IhrFussel Hey tenplus1 19:18 Krock IhrFussel, duh.. 0.4.13 19:19 Krock horribly outdated 19:19 Krock and 0 players with proto version >= 35 19:19 Krock * >= 36 19:19 tenplus1 I wonder why anyone would still use 0.4.13 19:19 IhrFussel 1K have version 26, 200 25, 300 24 19:19 Krock outdated mobile clients 19:20 sfan5 tenplus1: because it comes with their distro by default 19:20 tenplus1 gawd... also hi 19:20 Krock they bundle Minetest into linux distributions? Didn't know that 19:20 sfan5 well in the repos 19:21 sfan5 but there's actually one distro that bundles mt or something like that 19:21 IhrFussel 6 joined with version 31 so dev =P 19:22 IhrFussel Ubuntu 16.04 STILL ships 0.4.13 I think 19:23 tenplus1 another reason once minetest hits a state of stable'ness it NEEDS a loader to always update it 19:25 IhrFussel tenplus1, you mean a launcher? Like other MMOs? 19:25 rubenwardy tenplus1, that's only possible for Windows 19:25 rubenwardy linux distros won't allow it 19:25 rubenwardy same for Android 19:25 tenplus1 really ? damn 19:25 rubenwardy well, Android has auto updating 19:25 sfan5 rubenwardy: adding an update notice would be nice tho 19:25 sfan5 but i heard debian patches those out 19:26 tenplus1 I'd wanna know if I was running an older version at least... 19:26 rubenwardy https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2442 19:26 tenplus1 prolly why so many players are using 0.4.13 and .14 19:26 IhrFussel A simple info window after starting the game would be enough I think 19:26 sfan5 rubenwardy: why did you close that 19:26 sofar can I patch my server to (1) reject 0.4.13 clients on my 0.4.16 server, and (2) send notices to 0.4.15 clients? 19:26 sfan5 sofar: yes 19:27 Krock strict_protocol_checking = true 19:27 Krock or similar 19:27 sofar I don't want to do strict version checking? 19:27 sofar that just breaks all of them, afaics 19:27 sfan5 (1) raise min proto version (2) add custom denying code for certain proto versions 19:27 tenplus1 does it inform player WHY they cannot connect when using strict protocol checking ? 19:27 sofar ok, I figured as much 19:27 rubenwardy yes, tenplus1 19:27 sofar it does 19:27 Krock isn't that doable by mods? I believe we had a PR to get the protocol version once 19:28 tenplus1 so when 0.5.0 is release I can enable that and it'll let playersknow why they cannot join (gotta update) 19:28 IhrFussel Is the protocol version check even available in on_prejoinplayer()? 19:28 paramat IhrFussel the fact that the 0.5 breakage will clear out some mobile players using nasty apps is a good thing and why server owners should switch to 0.5.0 quickly, we intend to use it to encourage them to switch to the official app 19:28 sfan5 Krock: wasn't that only available in debug mode? 19:28 sfan5 paramat: the official app sux 19:28 Krock tenplus1, they won't be even be able to connect even if you allow that 19:29 Krock sfan5, until someone changed that https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L2342 19:29 sfan5 some PR made it available in non-debug then 19:30 IhrFussel The official app needs some work before players will choose it to play 19:30 paramat sfan i know, i'm trying to find people to work on it, but unofficial apps suk in different ways 19:30 tenplus1 what's the diff between official android mt and clones ???? 19:30 tenplus1 never actually used it 19:30 Krock the advertisements and cost 19:30 IhrFussel Mainly the virtual joystick most 3rd-party-clones offer for movement 19:31 tenplus1 and cant you add that ? 19:31 tenplus1 hi thomas 19:31 paramat i'm trying to find someone who will add the joystick 19:31 sofar we could but nobody is willing to do the work 19:31 IhrFussel The creator of Multicraft has been contacted I think 19:31 Shara tenplus1: sfan5 previously told us a dev could do it in their sleep, but since he doesn't want to, we're stuck 19:32 tenplus1 hi shara 19:32 Shara hi tenplus1. How's it going? 19:32 sfan5 you're taking that statement way too seriously 19:32 tenplus1 if controls on the official app are lacking and the virtual joystick helps improve this then priority goes to controls 19:32 Shara Actually, I'm just amused 19:32 tenplus1 tired but ok... looooong day 19:32 paramat i would do it if i had an android device. understandably most devs are uninterested, so i'm asking contributors 19:32 sfan5 i don't like working with android mt simply because the buildsystem is such a nightmare 19:33 rubenwardy i'm not sure how it even got merged 19:34 sfan5 "anything is better than nothing" 19:34 paramat obtw no reply from monte48 yet on the issue 19:34 paramat *btw 19:34 Shara okay, thanks for trying paramat 19:35 paramat oh just got a forum PM from lordfingle 19:36 paramat says he can work on adding joystick in jan/feb2018 :) 19:36 rubenwardy once we get the controls fixed, it may we worth getting a Minetest organisation on the play store.
