13:36 TenPlus1  Hi folks
13:48 Krock     hi TenPlus1
13:48 TenPlus1  Hi ninja Krock :) how's you ?
13:48 Krock     fine, thanks. how about you?
13:48 TenPlus1  got some days off, chilling mostly :)
13:49 TenPlus1  about to add AFK mod to server
13:49 Krock     also add an Idle RPG mod to the server
13:49 TenPlus1  idle RPG ?
13:50 Krock     TenPlus1: you gain points by not doing anything
13:50 Krock     leaving the server or moving at all counts as action, hence no longer idle
13:50 TenPlus1  lol, +10 patience points added :P
13:51 Krock     also no chatting is allowed
13:51 TenPlus1  heh, will stick with a 15 minute afk warning before kicking :)
13:53 TenPlus1  server has been up for well over a week now and no issue :) just players complaining about afk stuff
13:54 TenPlus1  you been up to much this week ?
13:57 Krock     yes, was kinda busy
13:58 TenPlus1  keeps ya going :) been testing Kubuntu 20.10 lately
13:59 TenPlus1  tried quite a few IDE's for mod work and couldn't find one I really liked... settled with FeatherPad instead
14:00 TenPlus1  what do you use for programming ?
14:02 Krock     kDevelop + CudaText
14:04 TenPlus1  ooh, tried kdevelop but not cudatext :) will give that a try... thx
14:05 shivajiva hiya ten+
14:05 TenPlus1  hey Shiva, how's you dude ?
14:06 shivajiva same shit, different day xD
14:06 TenPlus1  haha, I hear ya :P
14:06 shivajiva good to hear you have some time off
14:07 TenPlus1  was trying to psyche myself up to do some painting, but it hasn't happened :(
14:07 shivajiva all work n no play stinks
14:08 TenPlus1  got a question for ya, I added a meat block to mobs, can be crafted with any 9x group:food_meat, just wondering about backwards cfrafting back into meat
14:09 shivajiva did some of that couple of weeks ago, it's quite therapeutic making a room look super clean again
14:10 shivajiva hmm that's awkward, player will end up with something they didn't start with potentially
14:11 TenPlus1  trying to add a way to craft block back into meat, but dont want it too cheaty e.g. 9x chicken going in, 9x meat coming out etc.
14:12 shivajiva wouldn't it make sense to have as many types of meat block as input so it can be managed
14:13 TenPlus1  ideally yes, but I dont want too many non-mob blocks, this was added to use up extra meat
14:15 TenPlus1  or I can just have players eat the whole block and gain 20 hp :)lol
14:15 shivajiva would solve the problem lol
14:16 TenPlus1  hehe, will do that :P
14:17 shivajiva I'm looking at playertag and wondering if I should step away from a monotype font and use a lookup table for the width :D
14:18 TenPlus1  would be nice if engine had facility for fixed and mixed width fonts for use in all aspects of the game
14:19 shivajiva monotype looks ugly no matter what the font to me, to retro imo
14:20 shivajiva especially as a nametag
14:20 TenPlus1  so long as it's readable it's all good :)
14:21 TenPlus1  I know a few players want a working sneak mode in-game thathides nametag also
14:22 shivajiva sounds easy, check for keypress sequence and zero the alpha, returning to original when key sequence is not present
14:23 TenPlus1  thinking of a mod that adds letter/number blocks that can be coloured with dye after placing
14:24 shivajiva that would be nice, less actions for a change
14:24 TenPlus1  yeah, just gotta figure param2 for rotation and colours now :D hehe
14:26 TenPlus1  saves on recipes, punch with dye, boom red, dig and get back normal letter and red dye..
14:26 TenPlus1  what you changing nametag fonts for ?
14:27 shivajiva eggwars, so players can't be targeted by nametag, just don't like how it looks, even as liberation mono
14:28 TenPlus1  ahh, good idea
14:30 shivajiva it's rubenwardy's idea, uses it in CTF, just looking to modify it for my use, i.e. coloured entity nametags and a font that doesn't look wrong within the context
14:31 TenPlus1  *cough* comic sams
14:31 shivajiva Ikr
14:31 TenPlus1  lololol
14:32 shivajiva same font as mt would be fine, it's the shift that makes it seem odd
14:32 TenPlus1  hrm
14:34 shivajiva then again I'm using ethnocentric as the hud game event font and then doesn't look out of place in the context
14:35 TenPlus1  ooh, strangely that's almost the kind of font I'musing for letter nodes :P hah
14:35 TenPlus1  very readable
14:35 shivajiva hehehe
14:36 TenPlus1  I really do wish that nodes had the ability to draw text on their faces with colour/font/size selection
14:36 TenPlus1  would solve soooo many issues
14:37 shivajiva we await your pr =)
14:37 TenPlus1  on it :) lol... if only I knew more c+
14:45 TenPlus1  tidied my spare room last week and found so much old tech, am wondering how old a pc I could build that woudl still run minetest :D
14:49 Krock     well, if you have an OS with an C++11-capable compiler, you're pretty safe
14:50 TenPlus1  lol, foudn some 386/386/pentium cpu's, might be too old :P
14:50 TenPlus1  if am very lucky I'll get 0.5 fps :D
14:53 Krock     I'm proud of having a Cyrix 6x86MX PR200 # 150MHz
14:54 TenPlus1  nice, I have an IBM  Blue Lightning cpu, oooooold
14:54 Krock     inded
14:54 TenPlus1  it's amazing how far tech has come from the good old 286 days :D
14:55 TenPlus1  yet still, Doom running on a 486 33mhz was still amazing
14:56 shivajiva limited resources produced some very creative ideas that pushed the boundaries
14:56 shivajiva isn't the src code available for doom now
14:57 TenPlus1  oh yes, in the Amiga days it was amazing what could be done on a 7mhz system, even some of the c64 demos and games now are amazing for what it runs on
15:00 TenPlus1  I feel that games now are too big for what they are, and optimization an after thought if any...
15:00 shivajiva yup the 60GB update before the game runs is a bitch too
15:01 TenPlus1  ouch! I would give up on any games which did that
15:01 shivajiva heh don't get an Epic account and take the free games then xD
15:01 TenPlus1  they really gotta split game installs/updates into chunks to minimize download size and isntall time
15:02 TenPlus1  same way linux packaga managers work I'd suppose
15:02 shivajiva xbox Forza was just the same
15:02 TenPlus1  yeah, shinji loves that game but so many issues getting it to run
15:02 shivajiva the update to run it was 10x the size of the dvd
15:03 shivajiva it's a piss take
15:03 TenPlus1  that's unacceptable, devs should be ashamed
15:04 TenPlus1  somethign that huge should be split into engine, game, sound pack, textures... each smaller for update/fixes
15:04 shivajiva yup and it's elitist, 3rd world won't be playing anything like that
15:05 TenPlus1  they just see huge spec pc's and console and think they dont need to do anything apart from a huge blob file
15:07 TenPlus1  I like how the indie devs are doing games now :P played a few smaller games for ages :)
15:20 shivajiva MT uses Arimo font as default, right?
15:20 TenPlus1  think so, yeah
15:20 TenPlus1  am gonna go make foody, here's a little something for you guys to play with https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=concentration+programming+music
15:20 shivajiva then I'll start from there and see how it looks
15:20 TenPlus1  :) good luck dude
15:21 shivajiva enjoy your food
15:21 TenPlus1  :P thx     laters all /o
15:21 shivajiva o/
15:21 Krock     cya
