08:23 ShadowBot      https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8397 -- WIP: Add hidden players and objects by luk3yx
10:39 BuckarooBanzai luk3yx: oh, nice..
11:08 IhrFussel      Does on_punch() of entities behave the same no matter if I just 'return' or 'return true'?
11:08 IhrFussel      The docs state it should return true or false but my code just uses 'return'
12:23 IhrFussel      If I make travelnet nodes unpointable can I still interact with them? The issue right now is that their selection box makes it impossible to interact with anything outside of the net when you stand inside one
12:26 IhrFussel      Or I try to make their selection box thinner
16:29 IhrFussel      time_from_last_punch is always the identical with a few options ... basically either server step or a multiple of the server step which makes me think that the server only checks the punches once per step
16:30 IhrFussel      And I guess the reason for the various values of server steps is network related
16:32 IhrFussel      To clarify: My server step is now at 0.12 secs and when I log the time_from_last_punch in the entity's on_punch() I get either 0.119... 0.239... 0.359... 0.479... etc and the number is always the EXACT same like

19:04 IhrFussel      Krock, is it intended that time_from_last_punch only tells exact server step times?
19:04 IhrFussel      I mean it is never something in between, always at least 1 server step but mostly 2
19:05 Krock          yes, because the time increases each step
19:05 Krock          I think I said that yesterday
19:05 Krock          fixing it would be easy though. getting the absolute time instead of waiting for :step()
19:08 IhrFussel      So is the skipping of steps likely network related?
19:09 Krock          yes. udp delays, causing the packet to arrive late
19:09 Krock          re-sent packets, for example
19:11 IhrFussel      Hm...cause currently I store the time_from_last_punch per player and only allow an actual hit when it exceeded 0.35 seconds ... but as you can see here it often only fires after 5 steps (server step set to 100ms now)
19:11 IhrFussel      2019-05-29 21:09:40: ACTION[Server]: PUNCH DEBUG: IhrFussel -> 0.50000001490116

19:13 IhrFussel      That makes punching mobs kinda inconsistent =/ but I guess there is not much I can do about it
19:13 Krock          well.. what's the tool punch interval?
19:18 IhrFussel      1.5 seconds but that is only for full punch... I allow mobs on my server to be spam punched but only want the hits to count every ~ 400ms
19:19 IhrFussel      If you hold the punch button all tools should constantly send packets or not?
19:23 Krock          depends on game.cpp, object_hit_delay
19:23 Krock          0.2s punch delay min
19:24 Krock          there won't be any punching shorter than that on objects
19:24 Krock          restricted client-side
19:26 IhrFussel      That could also explain the various values I get server side
19:28 IhrFussel      For example when the client reached the 0.2s and sends the packet to the server and the server JUST passed a step and receives the packet on the next step only
21:28 IhrFussel      Whenever a player decides to dig a deep deep hole into the ground and triggers map generation lag always jumps to 0.6 secs ... I think there is nothing I can about that
21:29 IhrFussel      I already use a SSD
22:09 paramat        mapgen mods can be very intensive
22:11 IhrFussel      I use nether and caverealms_lite
22:27 paramat        yes 0.6 gen time for a mapchunk is expected then
22:29 IhrFussel      Would it help if I set gen distance to something higher? Would it result in one larger lag spike but then be fine for a longer time?
