01:10 * RealBadAngel kicks NekoGloop back
01:11 * NekoGloop punches rba's jaw
01:11 * RealBadAngel takes the jaw, fixes it back, and bites poor kitty
01:12 RealBadAngel WOOF
01:12 OldCoder RealBadAngel, be nice
01:12 OldCoder Do chew on the kitty
01:12 OldCoder No
01:12 OldCoder I mean!
01:12 OldCoder DON'T
01:12 OldCoder chew on the kitty
01:12 * OldCoder laughs
01:12 * NekoGloop teleports away
01:12 * OldCoder offers virtual chew toy instead
01:12 RealBadAngel hehehe
01:13 OldCoder I miss my dog and my cat
01:13 OldCoder both
01:13 OldCoder they got along together
01:13 OldCoder dog can have chew toy instead of chew
01:13 OldCoder more durable
01:13 OldCoder kitty won't last as long
01:14 RealBadAngel my kitty is sleepin rite now on my bed
01:15 OldCoder Very well
01:15 * NekoGloop cautiously pets RealBadAngel
01:15 RealBadAngel woof?
01:15 * NekoGloop cuddles puppy~ :3
01:16 OldCoder Might be pushing it
01:16 RealBadAngel wheres the bone you kitty you
01:16 OldCoder Well
01:16 * NekoGloop takes out the bone he was hiding in his back pocket and puts it in front of RealBadAngel
01:16 * mrtux peeks through the ceiling
01:16 RealBadAngel now better
01:17 * RealBadAngel takes the bon
01:17 RealBadAngel e
01:17 RealBadAngel btw im not quite sure ive hit a bug in inv or it is just me tired
01:18 RealBadAngel if not inv:is_empty("slot1") then
01:18 RealBadAngel stack1=inv:get_list("slot1")
01:18 RealBadAngel print(dump(stack1:get_name()))
01:18 RealBadAngel node_to_be_placed={name=stack1:get_name(), param1=0, param2=node.param2}
01:18 * NekoGloop wonders if RealBadAngel is partly human like me?
01:18 RealBadAngel it throws me an error when tryin to call get_name()
01:19 OldCoder No idea but worth noting
01:19 NekoGloop joined #minetest
01:19 * NekoGloop wonders if realbadangel is partly human, like me?
01:19 RealBadAngel im a cyborg you miserably mammal :P
01:19 NekoGloop Haha.
01:20 NekoGloop No wonder you can fuck with lua so well
01:20 RealBadAngel lol
01:20 RealBadAngel my kitty just woke up
01:21 RealBadAngel and "meow meow", she want to get out for a walk
01:21 NekoGloop Meow meow~
01:21 RealBadAngel shes insane, 3:20 am
01:21 OldCoder Cats are flexible about things
01:21 RealBadAngel i have to let her out
01:21 OldCoder Like human time conventions
01:22 NekoGloop Cats tend to not care about whether it is dark or light.
01:22 OldCoder Indeed
01:22 NekoGloop Due to the way their eyes work.
01:22 OldCoder They don't know you can't see them
01:22 OldCoder So possible to trip over cat at night
01:22 RealBadAngel shes out
01:23 NekoGloop Also they dont care about temperature. Only what we call extremes are even an effect on a cat's behaviour.
01:25 RealBadAngel joined #minetest
01:26 RealBadAngel i known the cat that used to sleep in the archaic coal driven furnace
01:26 RealBadAngel it was cooked once by accident
01:27 RealBadAngel neighbours have once forgotten he used to hide there
01:27 RealBadAngel started to cook something
01:27 RealBadAngel and cooked the cat at the same time
01:33 RealBadAngel i hate the lua
01:33 RealBadAngel it had to be indexed lol
01:33 RealBadAngel one element table had to be indexed
01:34 RealBadAngel what moron made it???
01:35 RealBadAngel shit, ive spent 2 hours chasing why it wont work
01:36 RealBadAngel LUA, if you had an ass, i would like to kick it badly
01:42 anunakki joined #minetest
01:45 RealBadAngel it looks like learning LUA nuances is a neverending process
01:45 RealBadAngel more i know, more "flowers" i find
01:48 OldCoder flowers are colorful
01:50 RealBadAngel at least when you find out the solution it gives you nice feeling
01:50 RealBadAngel named "i got ya, you bastard!"
01:51 RealBadAngel rest of coding the constructor is easy
01:51 RealBadAngel now im just copy/pasting the sections
01:52 RealBadAngel and thinkin bout possible usage for it
01:53 RealBadAngel huge doors i knew
01:54 RealBadAngel one constructor can deploy 3 nodes in front of it, at least MK3 model
01:56 RealBadAngel push up bridges can be possible then also
01:56 RealBadAngel pair of constructors can build 6 nodes wide
01:57 RealBadAngel enough to make bridge over the lava lake for example
02:03 RealBadAngel im goin afk
02:03 RealBadAngel need to sleep a bit
02:03 RealBadAngel cya gys
02:03 RealBadAngel *guys
02:05 Muadtralk joined #minetest
02:17 jordan4ibanez joined #minetest
02:19 T_A_N_K should i continue fancy game mode?
02:26 Octupus joined #minetest
02:27 Muadtralk yes
02:27 Muadtralk a thousand times yes
02:28 T_A_N_K minetest just has some severe limitations, like for instance, i cannot even create custom placenode sounds in lua, because i read the c++ and it is set to use the default_place_node.ogg file instead of from the lua
02:28 T_A_N_K okay, finally someone seems interested in it
02:29 T_A_N_K I have a work around for it, but being the one who knows how it works, it just seems..cheap
02:33 OldCoder Octupus, T_A_N_K, Muadtralk wb
02:33 T_A_N_K ty
02:35 harrison http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb-vocFjsqE&feature=youtu.be
02:37 harrison voxel raytracer film
02:39 harrison http://spasim.org/wordpress/?page_id=17
02:45 T_A_N_K also why does only +1 on the y axis contain inertia?
02:45 T_A_N_K It should be the same for + and - on the x and y too
02:45 T_A_N_K x and z*
02:46 T_A_N_K It just makes the game feel very static
02:50 harrison you are speaking of the film? i used the word "inertia" incorrectly
02:50 harrison i meant "friction" or such - i.e. one slows down
02:50 T_A_N_K I'm talking about minetest
02:51 harrison nvm then
02:51 harrison srry please continue
02:53 T_A_N_K Like, why are commits not getting pushed? This game can be so much more polished than minecraft and i actually just stopped playing technic to come play minecraft and this game feels and performs very unpolished
02:57 T_A_N_K There should be an api for entities to be mounted to a single point
02:57 T_A_N_K like have an entity in the middle, which acts as the physical point of a mob, or car, or train or whatever, then mount entities which are not physical to that point, this could create animated mobs.
03:04 NakedFury technic fan?
03:04 T_A_N_K yes, i've already created trains and breeded horses and a lot of other things
03:05 NakedFury relabadangel is making a minetest technic
03:05 NekoGloop He knows this?
03:06 T_A_N_K technic is already in my fancy game mode
03:09 OldCoder T_A_N_K, I am merging patches now but that is just a stopgap measure
03:09 Octupus joined #minetest
03:13 NakedFury who uses ipad irc? can you tell me the name?
03:13 T_A_N_K ipad irc
03:13 NekoGloop Colloquy
03:13 T_A_N_K LOL
03:13 NekoGloop Using it right now
03:14 NakedFury colloquy, paid??
03:14 NekoGloop No?
03:15 NakedFury I downloaded irc999 but that damn thing only gives a real_client_error
03:15 NekoGloop Yup.
03:15 NekoGloop Because it's not a real client
03:16 NakedFury do you have a browser that plays flash videos too?
03:16 NekoGloop Safari.
03:18 NakedFury the stock browser?????????
03:18 NekoGloop Yes.
03:22 NakedFury that browser sucks. cant watch flash videos on it
03:22 NakedFury cant wait for jailbrake of v6
03:22 NekoGloop Try google
03:27 NakedFury need 3 monitors: 1 game, 1 irc, 1 hulu/netflix/videos
03:37 NekoGloop I smell like charcoal
03:40 NekoGloop I went to a bonfire earlier

10:10 PilzAdam how hard would it be to change the mapgen so that you can define different aliases for different biomes in lua?
10:10 banlieue joined #minetest
10:12 Taoki PilzAdam: Unfortunately that's not possible yet. I'm still eagerly waiting for it too
10:12 Taoki Biomes and some blocks like dirt, sand, etc. are still hard-coded, and eventually all will become LUA
10:13 PilzAdam thats why im asking how hard would it be to code
10:13 Calinou Taoki: lua mapgen is slow
10:13 Taoki Don't know sadly. I'm kinda bad with the code
10:13 Taoki Calinou: Can't anything be done about it though? It's still much better than leaving hard coded biomes inside
10:13 Calinou the mapgen's "core" needs to be done in C++, while the "details" should be done in lua (already done!), but minetest.conf should be able to tweak "core" mapgen settings (not done)
10:13 Taoki oh nice
10:13 Calinou sea level, lava level, noise intensity and so on
10:14 Taoki Yes, I didn't mean to fully code all of the mapgen in LUA. But not leave any blocks, shapes or biomes hard coded
10:14 Calinou only two blocks are hardcoded: air and ignore
10:14 PilzAdam Taoki, its Lua not LUA
10:14 Taoki Sory, bad habbit
10:14 Jordach i'd have minetest.register_biome("<surface_block>", "<type_of_stone>", "tree_types")
10:14 Taoki Calinou: Really? So biomes are already Lua-side?
10:14 PilzAdam Calinou, wrong
10:14 Calinou Jordach: how do you define the location where the biome will be generated?
10:15 Calinou PilzAdam: not really actually, yes
10:15 Jordach Calinou, the engine will work it out
10:15 Calinou Taoki: no
10:15 Calinou you can use aliases to override mapgen stuff
10:15 Calinou eg. replace all water with lava
10:15 Calinou mapgen.lua in default mod :)
10:15 Taoki I am a bit confused
10:15 Taoki Calinou: But doesn't a lua script itself decide where wated appears?
10:16 Calinou nope, it's all C++, because mapgen needs to be fast
10:16 Calinou and it still needs to be optimized, too :P
10:16 Taoki ok.
10:16 PilzAdam Calinou, saplings, tree, leaves, dirt and dirt_with grass are not defined in the engine but the amb's for growing etc. read them
10:16 PilzAdam thats why i had to code them in my minimal game
10:16 Taoki That's the type of behavior I'm hoping will be de-hardcoded. So Lua decides where water spawns for instance, but C++ decides on the patterns and whatever needs to be fast
10:17 jin_xi actually they are in mapgen cpp but #if 0 'ed out
10:17 Calinou grass growth is in C++ apparently
10:17 Calinou I wonder how it works since dirt and grass are defined with lua
10:17 PilzAdam also sapling growing
10:17 PilzAdam they use default:dirt
10:17 Calinou these both need to be re-made in lua
10:17 PilzAdam thats why minimal:dirt doesnt worl
10:17 PilzAdam *work
10:18 PilzAdam https://github.com/PilzAdam/minimal/blob/master/mods/minimal/init.lua#L354
10:18 PilzAdam https://github.com/PilzAdam/minimal/blob/master/mods/minimal/init.lua#L983
10:18 Taoki Calinou: What I'm unclear about is. Firstly, are the nodes / block types for dirt, water and all these defined in LUA? Can users already create their own custom types of dirt, sand, water, lava, anything?
10:18 PilzAdam and
10:18 PilzAdam https://github.com/PilzAdam/minimal/blob/master/mods/minimal/init.lua#L860
10:18 Calinou all the nodes are defined in lua
10:18 Calinou Taoki: yes you can
10:18 Taoki Oh, that's a good part then
10:19 PilzAdam IMO the best solution is: define different aliases for different biomes in lua
10:19 Jordach Taoki, minetest-delta is long dead
10:19 PilzAdam so the engine still creates the biomes
10:19 Taoki Calinou: So, if only the patterns and mapgen code are C++ (which makes most sense I believe), why can't users make their own biomes yet? Can't they define different block types and areas, and have the mapgen handle it?
10:19 PilzAdam but lua can set the biomes
10:19 Taoki PilzAdam: Agreed
10:20 Jordach wait wait wait
10:20 Taoki As in, just hard-code the code to generate the patterns and all, but let LUA define the biomes and patterrn properties
10:20 Jordach what if we want a snow biome with snow layers?
10:20 Taoki That too
10:21 PilzAdam Jordach, the engine could define a node above grass level and the default biome sets it to air?
10:21 Jordach it should be: minetest.register_biome("<above_grass>", "<grass>", "<dirt>", "<stone>", "<liquid>")
10:22 PilzAdam + "tree", "leaves")
10:22 Calinou Jordach: there's a snow mod already
10:22 Taoki Yeah, looking in mapgen.lua I'm seeing an issue. Biomes are indeed hard-coded. You just define aliases as block replacements
10:22 Calinou Jordach: biome name is needed too
10:22 Calinou eg. you want to generate something other than clay in that biome and no cactus
10:22 PilzAdam Jordach, + "above water")
10:22 Taoki desert_sand and desert_stone even are aliases. Not a good idea at all UMO
10:22 Taoki *IMO
10:22 Jordach PilzAdam, you can develop on that
10:22 Jordach Calinou, didnt think of that
10:23 PilzAdam Jordach, i dont know c++, only c
10:23 Taoki I'd rather the user defines a world generator node, and patterns of how and where it spawns. Then the c++ code makes use of that.
10:23 PilzAdam i can only read it
10:23 Jordach PilzAdam, most of minetest is c anyway
10:23 Calinou what Jordach said
10:23 Calinou and C++ is an extension of C
10:24 Calinou somehow
10:24 Jordach LUA is the OOP side anyway
10:24 Calinou since when lua is OOP?
10:24 Jordach because interpreted
10:24 PilzAdam btw: it is Lua and not Lua or lua
10:24 Calinou read OOP backwards
10:24 Jordach POOP#
10:24 Calinou PilzAdam: lua is better than LUA
10:24 PilzAdam but Lua is best
10:30 Taoki Yeah, hope someone can tweak the biome code a bit and de-hardcode all those aliases, so users can choose the generation pattern and their own biomes
10:30 Taoki While indeed keeping the code C++
10:33 Taoki Anyway, isn't there any large server at all for MineTest? I can't find one in the slightest
10:34 Jordach minetest.org : 30000
10:35 Taoki Tried that one, barely downloading any of the media data
10:35 Taoki Also set a bad password at first login and now I can't change it any more
10:36 Jordach ask OldCoder to remove your player file
10:45 RealBadAngel_ Taoki if youre from europe then try europe.minetest.org:30000
10:45 Taoki RealBadAngel_: I am. Thanks, will try that
10:45 RealBadAngel_ be patient when loading for the 1st time
10:45 RealBadAngel_ ambience mod is here
10:45 Taoki ok. What's that mod do BTW?
10:46 RealBadAngel_ music and sounds
10:46 Taoki wonderful :D
10:46 RealBadAngel_ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHXfBM3M4Yw&amp;feature=youtu.be
10:46 Taoki Nice, I can also use a good password again
10:46 * Jordach suggests Taoki is English
10:47 RealBadAngel_ ive finished coding Constructor
10:47 Taoki I'm from Romania
10:47 Jordach your English says otherwise
10:47 Taoki RealBadAngel_: Ah yes, mesecons :) I think that mod should also be merged
10:47 Taoki Jordach: Thanks :D I'm not that good at voice talking but I guess I can write well enough
10:48 Jordach if i end up hosting a minetest mumble, then ill start doing english classes
10:49 * Taoki is totally suggesting OldCoder to add the mesecons mod to his version
10:50 Taoki RealBadAngel_: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p35e3ZCdDVU Really love this! About time... hope it's one of the first changes to bet merged
10:51 BartoCH joined #minetest
10:51 RealBadAngel_ theres a build already with it
10:52 RealBadAngel_ http://sfan.sf.funpic.de/minetest-builds/c55/minetest-0.4.3-25cf375-extrafilters_chkbox-win32.7z
10:52 Taoki nice
10:55 Taoki ok, connected. The minetest.org server is pretty fantastic :)
11:32 Taoki Trying out the europe.minetest.org server. The mods there are plainly awesome! I hope someone makes a custom MineTest game with this
11:38 Jordach Taoki, the build OldCoder produces has those mods pre-installed as minetest_game
11:38 * Taoki totally approves
11:38 * Jordach heads off into Aperture Science
12:14 khor joined #minetest
12:20 * Jordach is bored
12:24 Jordach sfan5, this should be merged into his other thread: http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3457

12:26 Jordach anyone playing on europe.minetest.org right now>
12:28 Jordach Taoki, are you signed into minetest.org atm?

13:04 Jordach RealBadAngel_, i just found 16 diamonds in 6 chunks and died due to lava
13:04 RealBadAngel_ nice :)
13:05 RealBadAngel_ and im sitting and doing textures for constructors
13:11 shadowjay1 joined #minetest
13:21 RealBadAngel_ 15 textures ready, 10 more to make
13:26 Taoki RealBadAngel_: Where can I build a house around your area? Would rather not make it far cuz there are few people as is and it gets boring :P
13:26 RealBadAngel_ Taoki, hold on, i will connect in a few minutes
13:27 Taoki ok
13:27 * Jordach has 31 diamonds
13:30 Taoki Also, is there some menu or command to see a list of all active players?
13:30 Jordach ./status
13:32 OldCoder Hello
13:32 Jordach hello OldCoder
13:32 Taoki hiii
13:32 OldCoder Taoki, Jordach, RealBadAngel_ A new Debian DEB for Wheezy is posted
13:32 Taoki OldCoder: Just logged into your minecraft.org server today. It's truly awesome :D
13:32 OldCoder Oh
13:32 OldCoder ty
13:32 OldCoder Try the DEB as I need to test it
13:33 Taoki OldCoder: NP. Please delete my user file on minecraft.org however (NOT europe.minecraft.org). I wrote a bad password at login and need to change it
13:33 Taoki OldCoder: Link?
13:33 Taoki Ah, and my user name is MirceaKitsune
13:33 OldCoder Taoki, proceeding to delete now. And link is:
13:34 OldCoder http://oldcoder.org/general/minetest/mineinfo.html
13:34 OldCoder See section 2
13:34 Taoki OldCoder: Got the file. Now, to remember how I unpack deb packages on a rpm-based distro...
13:34 OldCoder Oh
13:34 OldCoder Don't
13:34 OldCoder I will prepare a new RPM
13:35 Taoki ok, sure then
13:35 OldCoder What is your distro again, please?
13:35 Taoki openSUSE 12.2 64bit KDE 4.8.5
13:35 OldCoder k
13:35 OldCoder It may take a few days
13:35 Taoki eh... I'd rather unpack the deb until then
13:36 OldCoder OK If it works
13:36 OldCoder Taoki, in 30000 you are deleted but do I need to restart the server?
13:36 Taoki Dunno, I'll check soon
13:37 Taoki ok I don't have alien, and deb packages use debian binaries. So yeah, I have to wait
13:38 OldCoder Taoki, indicate if server needs to restart so you can get in
13:38 Taoki OldCoder: Still says my password is invalid, so i think restart is needed
13:38 OldCoder Restarting server
13:40 OldCoder Restarted
13:40 OldCoder Taoki, try now
13:40 Taoki Working, thanks
13:40 Taoki OldCoder: On that page I'm seeing a build for Fedora as well. Am I correct? Theoretically that one might and should work
13:41 OldCoder Taoki, One moment
13:41 Taoki As Fedora is RPM based like openSUSE
13:41 * OldCoder is writing
13:41 Taoki sure
13:43 OldCoder Taoki, you're invited to try that build now. However, RPM distros are very poor distros in general. No offense is intended. My notes show I had problems with that one and it predates recent changes. It may not be worth your time. Proceed but also do this:
13:43 OldCoder Give me a link to the ISO that you used to install your own distro.
13:43 Taoki OldCoder: That's ok. I'm still net wo Linux, but openSUSE is very good for me, and doesn't seem poor at all. IIRC it's actually one of the best distros, after Ubuntu
13:44 Taoki Just a sec
13:44 OldCoder Taoki, to be clear, poor from a structural perspective.
13:44 OldCoder Building and maintaining software.
13:44 Taoki I see. Compared to Windows, it's actually a lot easier for me. But I never tried any deb distros
13:44 Taoki And the link is: http://software.opensuse.org/122/en
13:44 Taoki Make sure to select the 64bit version, and bittorrent is best way to get
13:45 OldCoder Taoki, if you are curious, do this later: Compare the build instructions for CentOS and Debian
13:45 OldCoder Taoki, I don't have a 64 bit system
13:45 Taoki ok
13:45 Jordach Taoki, Ubuntu a GOOD Distro
13:45 Jordach pah#
13:45 OldCoder If I build this I may need to build 32 bit
13:45 Taoki I'm planning to learn Ubuntu as well for knowledge. But I'll only install it on a VM
13:45 OldCoder Taoki, try to log into server now
13:45 Taoki OldCoder: Already there
13:45 OldCoder Taoki, glad to hear it
13:46 Taoki yeah. Near spawn but not seeing much. I think europe.minetest.org is better for me, but I'm on both so it's all good
13:46 Jordach RealBadAngel_, how do we make red dye on europe.minetest.org
13:47 RealBadAngel_ have no glue :)
13:47 RealBadAngel_ for what you need it?
13:47 Jordach diamond DRILL HEAD CRAFTED
13:48 OldCoder
13:48 RealBadAngel_ use unified dyes red
13:48 OldCoder Taoki, would you like to build the latest MT yourself? I can write detailed instructions
13:48 RealBadAngel_ the recepture accepts both kind of dyes
13:48 Taoki OldCoder: I can try. I already build it fine from GIT, but setting up make and cmake can get difficult sometimes
13:49 OldCoder Taoki, If you are serious I will spend about half an hour now on the instructions
13:49 Taoki But sure, post the source and I can try. Just asking that it has cmakelists.txt ready please :P
13:49 Taoki I am interested in getting it to work, sure
13:49 OldCoder Taoki, this will take me half an hour or more. Are you serious, then?
13:49 OldCoder All right
13:49 Taoki Just afraid of a "build nightmare" is all
13:49 Taoki sure
13:49 OldCoder Taoki, I don't even have your distro so the nightmare is more on my side :-)
13:49 Taoki I still use MT primarily from GIT, but I would like to build and test from your source too
13:50 OldCoder Taoki, I will write instructions
13:50 Taoki OldCoder: If cmake is there, does the source need any special instructions for each distro?
13:50 OldCoder Yes
13:50 OldCoder Very much so
13:50 OldCoder Do as I suggested above...
13:50 Taoki Fir the GIt version, no distro-specific stuff was needed. Just ran cmake than make and it works
13:50 OldCoder Compare the CentOS and Debian instructions on my site
13:51 OldCoder I will write instructions for you now
13:51 Taoki Ah, I mistead that. I'll look for that
13:51 OldCoder Taoki, wait a while if you wish. I am proceeding now to write.
13:52 Taoki OldCoder: BTW: If it's instructions on how to get the packages, I don't need that here. If there are dependencies I only need to know the package names, Yast makes it very easy to install them
13:52 OldCoder Taoki, It is not that simple. Allow me to write now.
13:53 Taoki OldCoder: Also, when you have some free time, maybe you can try openSUSE out. I'm curious if you think it's bad after trying it out specifically. Since for me it's the only distro I like, and I consider it nearly as good as Windows in both terms of looks and functionality.
13:53 Taoki Sure, sorry if I'm highlighting you too much
13:54 OldCoder Taoki, I have used Linux since the start. I do not mind highlighting.
13:54 OldCoder Taoki, SUSE is MS-Linux
13:54 Calinou joined #minetest
13:54 Taoki ok. And nice :)
13:54 OldCoder Taoki, SUSE is Microsoft's attempt to destroy Open Source
13:54 Taoki oh?
13:54 OldCoder Yes
13:54 Taoki Never heard that story
13:54 OldCoder I have dealt with the issue for a a decade now
13:54 OldCoder They have an interesting plan
13:55 OldCoder I keep running into it
13:55 OldCoder *a decade now
13:55 Taoki openSUSE is community driven. Nothing related to Microsoft either
13:55 OldCoder They are doing an end run around everything
13:55 OldCoder Not actually true
13:55 OldCoder I repeat, I deal with this in real life
13:55 OldCoder It has affected my career
13:55 Taoki interesting
13:55 OldCoder Yes
13:55 OldCoder Writing instructions for you now
13:56 OldCoder This will take 30 to 60 minutes; possibly a bit longer
13:56 Taoki I hope nothing bad will happen x.x openSUSE is the only distro I like and I don't want to ever have to switch to another
13:56 Taoki ok
13:56 OldCoder Taoki, You do not need to switch
13:56 Taoki Yes, I mean if Microsoft does anything bad to it
13:56 OldCoder Distros are like text editors. A matter of personal preference
13:56 OldCoder MS intends it to be a success
13:57 OldCoder The commercial version at any rate
13:57 Taoki Ah yes, I don't use or care about SUSE, just openSUSE
13:57 OldCoder Taoki, I am writing now
13:57 Taoki They're two different projects. SUSE split into them some years ago
13:57 FreeFull Jordach: Can I have build privs then? =P
13:58 FreeFull Thanks
13:58 sonismcnx joined #minetest
13:58 OldCoder Taoki, Is there no feed from upstream?
13:58 Taoki OldCoder: If you meant the commerial SUSE, I can understand. If it's a commercial company project there's probably a lot of battle with Microsoft. openSUSE is a fully different story
13:58 Taoki OldCoder: What do you mean?
13:58 OldCoder Taoki, Is there no feed from upstream?
13:59 OldCoder Oh
13:59 OldCoder Are you saying there is no sync between the two projects?
13:59 Taoki Ah, that I don't know. No idea, never asked. But openSUSE only comes with free open-source software by default, that many distros do too I think
14:00 Taoki And Yast, which is the suse-specific system tool. Very very useful
14:00 OldCoder I see. There is probably some sync.
14:00 OldCoder Taoki, I am writing for you now
14:00 Taoki Otherwise I think openSUSE is like all other good distros. Just its own bundle with selected packages
14:00 OldCoder Give me a while
14:00 Taoki sure
14:01 Jordach apparently my ports wont work if minetest is open
14:02 Jordach omg, opera's web browser has silky smooth scrolling
14:08 Taoki OldCoder: BTW. Please no advanced system changes in those instructions. I'm still new to Linux and always worried about making my system no longer boot. Wouldn't want to play with overly advanced things if that's possible
14:08 Taoki New because for about 17 years I've used Windows, and a month ago I permanently switched to Linux for the first time :)
14:11 OldCoder Taoki, I am writing what is necessary
14:11 OldCoder Taoki, for anybody who wishes to try
14:11 Taoki But my system is dual-boot between Windows 7 and openSUSE for many years (also XP back when I was using that). I only logged in Linux occasionally though, and learned it
14:11 Taoki sure
14:11 anunakki joined #minetest
14:11 OldCoder You need not try. But Windows will not be affected at all.
14:11 OldCoder anunakki, hi
14:11 Taoki I suspect I'll just configure cmake and it will work, but can't know
14:12 OldCoder Taoki, probably. But it can be much messier than that for some people. I am writing for everybody.
14:12 Taoki And, just found a tiny bug: Holding the sneak button (Left Shift) while sitting on a slab causes you to go a little bit up
14:12 OldCoder Taoki, please start a bug report file
14:13 Taoki OldCoder: True. I know from other projects... for some building has been a nightmare. Especially on Windows where I needed to get and link dozens of dependencies and compilers. Thank god those days are over :P
14:13 Taoki I probably will soon
14:13 OldCoder k

14:22 Calinou <Taoki> openSUSE is community driven. Nothing related to Microsoft either
14:22 Calinou opensuse
14:22 Calinou want a laugh?
14:22 Calinou opensuse is like mint and ubuntu: another edition of crapware. even less popular crapware this time
14:25 OldCoder Taoki, we will make a trade. I am writing general instructions. You will try them as far as you can and tell me what goes wrong.
14:25 Taoki Sure, if its not advanced system stuff I can't risk doing. Likely not so sure
14:25 OldCoder We'll see
14:26 Taoki Calinou: openSUSE is a great distro. Sad many people don't like it :(
14:26 OldCoder It is Microsoft
14:26 Taoki openSUSE is not
14:27 Taoki maybe the commercial SUSE
14:28 Calinou Taoki: it has the NoOneUsesIt label, like pclinuxos or slitaz or w/e
14:28 Calinou better use more popular distros
14:29 Calinou > more packages, > more support
14:29 Taoki Actually some sites say it's 2nd place after Ubuntu. To me it actually feels 1st place, but it depends on taste so that  doesn't cout
14:29 Calinou after ubuntu, in polls, arch is 2nd
14:29 Taoki openSUSE is very popular
14:29 Calinou peanut gallery syndrom
14:29 Calinou debian is more popular than people may think; it's the most used server distro :P
14:30 Taoki It also has Yast, a great tool nothing else does
14:30 Calinou yast is a random packaging tool noone uses?
14:30 Calinou this is what I hate about linux; the "split" of so much different package managers
14:30 Taoki It's a whole control panel with system settings, which also includes an install manager
14:30 Calinou while different DEs are fine, having 150 package managers isn't
14:30 Taoki Yeah, not a good thing generally
14:30 Calinou because they have no interoperability
14:30 Calinou who cares about GUIs
14:31 FreeFull How are you going to convince people to use the one package manager?
14:31 Calinou aunt tillie can't type apt-get install <w/e>? too bad
14:31 Calinou it's not that hard
14:31 Taoki GUI's are nicer. I like those
14:31 Jordach hmm
14:31 sfan5 idea: simply .7z packages      7z x $PACKAGE_NAME -o/
14:31 Calinou when I started using ubuntu, I discovered apt-get shortly after, I didn't use the software center at all :P
14:32 Taoki Yast has a very good repository and software manager. Only other I heard is as good is YUM, but for a gui you need YUM-extender
14:32 Taoki I suck more... I like a GUI for almost everything :P
14:33 Jordach okay
14:33 Jordach my pc is going somewhat crazy
14:33 Calinou RPM *laughs*
14:33 Calinou Taoki: using CLI can often be faster
14:34 Calinou eg. you want to install minetest dependencies required to compile it
14:34 Calinou have fun doing that through a GUI
14:34 Taoki I don't believe in this whole idea that RPM is worse than DEB. They're just different approaches
14:34 Calinou linux is different from windows; that'd a good thing
14:34 Taoki indeed
14:34 Jordach ^ incorrect
14:34 Calinou RPM = made by a commercial company
14:34 Calinou this is why it sucks :P
14:34 Calinou money corrupts everything
14:34 Jordach SINCE EVERYTHING IS DONE THROUGH THE WEB NOW; WE ARE ALMOST INDISTINGGUISHABLWE
14:34 Calinou ubuntu sucks now, guess why?
14:34 Jordach INDISTINGGUISHABLWE
14:35 Taoki I don't like stuff made by commercial companies. But if the code is free and open source and it works, I don't mind either
14:35 Jordach INDISTINGGUISHABLE**
14:35 Calinou Jordach: browser begs to differ
14:35 Calinou websites can know your OS :P
14:35 Taoki Unbuntu sucked for me because it comes with Gnome instead of KDE, first of all :P
14:35 Calinou KDE *laughs*
14:35 Jordach Calinou, my point is: OSes are useless since everything can be done through the net
14:35 Calinou KDE is even slower than gnome :P
14:35 sfan5 ^ i agree
14:35 Calinou Jordach: without an OS you can't do anything, only get system time
14:36 Taoki KDE is much better and prettier, for me at least. GNOME looks like windows 3.11
14:36 Jordach +1
14:36 Jordach brb
14:38 Calinou both suck; xfce FTW
14:38 Taoki I think the main issue with Linux are exactly discussions like this: People start arguing that packeges and distros around their area are better, and others suck. rpm versus deb, kde versus gnome, and so on. As far as I'm concerned, all of them are good... I try to keep away from the distro / package wars :P
14:38 Calinou yeah, wars are useless 8)
14:38 Calinou Taoki: xfce is usually the fastest when playing games, especially if you disable compositing
14:39 Calinou the DE _DOES_ matter when you play fullscreen, for now
14:39 Taoki Really, ALL are good and bad in their way. I just found something around my like, and openSUSE setup with KDE was it for me. I'm not the type of console person, or user who knows a lot of hacks and advanced features. openSUSE and KDE are a lot like Windows... very easy and usable once you learn a bit
14:39 Calinou although the nvidia proprietary driver supports direct stuff now, allowing for fast rendering regardless of the DE
14:39 Calinou GNOME has almost no advantage, regardless of shell/fallback
14:39 Taoki Others however need simpler functionality, and use consoles more. Ubuntu, gnome, etc. work better then
14:39 Calinou debian should've switched to xfce as default :p
14:39 Calinou it was a rumor, not an actual fact
14:40 * Taoki heard about xfce but never tried it
14:40 * Jordach summons #BSD
14:40 Calinou lolBSD
14:40 Calinou Taoki: XFCE is like windows xp
14:40 Calinou somehow :p
14:40 Taoki openSUSE comes with all of them. At least KDE and gnome, likely xfce too. You choose what you want at install time :)
14:40 Calinou while gnome 3 is windows 8
14:40 Calinou opensuse comes with crapware
14:40 Taoki Evenb etter: You can install both gnome and KDE and the rest, and you select which you want at login
14:40 Taoki I don'r agree
14:41 Taoki It comes with good software that most distros use too IIRC
14:42 Taoki As far as I'm concerned though, no distro comes with crapware. I have openSUSE on my system for years, even if I only now switched to it permanently. I've seen nothing to make me upset, except general linux problems
14:42 Calinou installing several DEs at once is quite bad; the applications get mixed up
14:43 Calinou Taoki: I know few distros which don't have crapware: debian, arch, crunchbang..
14:43 Taoki might try some on VM's out of curiosity to learn Linux eventually. But none of them seemed as nice for me
14:43 Taoki Thing is I've also been used to Woindows over the years. And I only fancy OS's that have good lucks, GUI's for every feature, so on
14:44 Taoki eg: I can't stand NOT using a transparent title bar with blur. oxygen-transparent has that
14:44 Taoki Cuz I dislike interfaces that don't have something like Windows's Aero
14:44 Taoki Plus Yast that handles everything so easily. But it's all a thing of taste
14:46 Taoki Really... there's no such thing as "your distro sucks this one is better". Unless that distro is completely unusable and will barely start up and work, which is far from the case. Diversity is nice, but sadly it causes such issues in Linux
14:49 Taoki Problem is that, software someone isn't used to tends to look as "very bad". It's normal, happened to me as well compared to Windows in many parts. If you're more used to something it will seem very stable and good, while other packages will seem horrible.
14:51 rubenwardy joined #minetest
14:58 OldCoder Taoki, I am still writing
14:58 Taoki sure
14:58 Taoki Hope it's of use for everyone and I didn't make you waste time for me
14:58 OldCoder It is necessary
14:58 OldCoder It may not be useful for you. We will see.
15:02 iqualfragile joined #minetest
15:04 Taoki Well, I trust my crap distribution ;)
15:05 OldCoder Taoki, you should do what seems right to you
15:05 Taoki Correct
15:06 Calinou <Taoki> eg: I can't stand NOT using a transparent title bar with blur. oxygen-transparent has that
15:06 Calinou suddenly: windows basic
15:06 Calinou Taoki: eye candy is not necessary as well as graphics; this is why most distros suck today
15:07 Taoki Calinou: Some of us want it and like it. Doesn't mean we suck or are weird, we just have different tastes
15:07 Calinou debian might be fugly (xfce's default theme + the default wallpaper looks simple but nice anyway) but it's crapware-free
15:07 Calinou it's the girl paradox(R)
15:07 Taoki Currently there is no reaon I know of why openSUSE has crapware
15:09 Taoki But, enough distro wars for now. Last thing the Linux community needs, especially newb users like me :P
15:10 Taoki Enough! My ship sails in the morning.
15:10 Taoki I wonder what's for dinner...
15:15 OldCoder Taoki, one minute
15:15 Taoki sure, no hurry
15:15 Calinou no furry
15:16 Taoki OldCoder: I need to go in about 30 minutes. Will be back after an hour or two, and I will try it then
15:16 NekoGloop joined #minetest
15:16 OldCoder Taoki, one minute
15:16 Taoki Nuuuuu
15:16 OldCoder Taoki, one minute
15:16 Taoki yes
15:16 NekoGloop Meow.
15:16 OldCoder NekoGloop, hi
15:16 OldCoder http://oldcoder.org/general/minetest/mtbuildlinux.html
15:16 OldCoder Taoki, This needs a lot of work
15:17 OldCoder But there is a rough draft
15:17 OldCoder Of my general Linux build instructions for both RPM and Debian distros
15:17 OldCoder The code
15:17 Taoki OldCoder: Why is it so much harder than the minetest GIT?
15:17 Taoki ok
15:17 OldCoder Because those instructions are 95% incomplete
15:17 Taoki will check it out when im back, finishing a house on the server for now
15:17 OldCoder <--- prefers complete instructions
15:17 OldCoder Taoki, misunderstanding
15:18 OldCoder <OldCoder> Taoki, This needs a lot of work
15:18 OldCoder I meant...
15:18 OldCoder I need to work on the documentation
15:18 Taoki Yes, that is a good idea. Documentation is always good
15:18 OldCoder The build procedure is not very difficult
15:18 OldCoder Except for some RPM distros where it is almost impossible
15:18 OldCoder Because Red Hat hates Open Source
15:19 Calinou why would you want to use a VM?
15:19 OldCoder Calinou, because I do not actually have large numbers of machines sitting around
15:19 Taoki From what I know. RPM is just a different implementation of deb. More of a structure. The actual distro differences are what package comes with each
15:19 Calinou still
15:19 Calinou there's no reason to use VMs
15:19 OldCoder Taoki, that is not the issue at all. It is not true.
15:19 OldCoder Calinou, Oh? More power to you and your large stack of PCs then
15:19 OldCoder <--- Does not possess a large stack of PCs
15:20 Taoki What are the main differences between Linux distros? IIRC distros are group of packages under a brand. And the main difference are some settings plus what packages each has
15:20 Taoki So distros are more of a bundle of packages to install a Linux system with, from what I know
15:20 OldCoder Taoki, Uh huh. "Some" settings. As in hours of work and things that do not work.
15:21 OldCoder Taoki, different distros are often entirely different worlds.
15:21 OldCoder They are not
15:21 Taoki I meant Linux distros in general
15:21 OldCoder Just different branding
15:21 Taoki I understand
15:21 OldCoder Go on
15:21 Taoki Sorry, I am new so I'm likely to be wrong
15:21 OldCoder It is fine
15:21 OldCoder Ask your question again
15:21 OldCoder Calinou if you have dozens of PCs your home must be crowded
15:22 OldCoder Taoki, almost everything that matters to a developer can change radically from distro to distro. There is often little similarity at all.
15:22 OldCoder In the case of RPM distros...
15:22 ttk2 joined #minetest
15:22 OldCoder Some of them make it nearly impossible to use git
15:22 OldCoder At least for novices
15:23 OldCoder Taoki, ^
15:23 Calinou OldCoder: what does this have to do with several computers?
15:23 Taoki OldCoder: What is the difference between Linux distributions then? I used to think different distributions are different DVD bundles to install a Linux system. Like "this one has KDE and uses Pulseaudio, this one has Gnome and doesn't, but it has this and that instead" and so on
15:23 Calinou if you want to run "several things at once" use something like screen
15:23 Taoki I understand
15:23 Calinou VMs aren't for that kind of stuff
15:23 Taoki It's good to know this
15:23 OldCoder Calinou, VMs are needed to build for different distros
15:23 OldCoder That is the issue
15:23 Taoki Yes, different distros would have different settings too
15:23 Calinou a linux binary works on all linuxes
15:23 Calinou always
15:23 Calinou it's not windows
15:23 OldCoder Calinou, Nope
15:23 Calinou you mean packages?
15:23 Calinou pfft, packages for games
15:23 Calinou always outdated
15:24 OldCoder Calinou, No
15:24 OldCoder <Taoki> OldCoder: What is the difference between Linux distributions then? I used to think different distributions are different DVD bundles to install a Linux system. Like "this one has KDE and uses Pulseaudio, this one has Gnome and doesn't, but it has this and that instead" and so on
15:24 OldCoder Taoki I am reviewing this
15:25 nyuszika7h left #minetest
15:26 OldCoder Taoki: Depending on various factors, different distros can be entirely different OSes at the component level. It is not about branding. NekoLinux with Kitty Cat wallpaper. BaconOS with platters of tasty food. Nope. Or about packaging. The libraries are different. The rules are different. There may be little connection from the developer's perspective.
15:26 OldCoder Taoki, answer ^
15:26 Taoki I still know little about Linux. But I think I know enough to say there's no distribution that is crap, unless it's outright broken in all ways
15:26 Taoki Thanks *reads
15:27 NekoGloop Who the fuck added "nekolinux" as a HL of mine.
15:27 Taoki Yes, different libraries are true. And different settings also. Thinking about it, each distro would heavily customize its rules of basic libraries
15:27 OldCoder Yes
15:28 Calinou OldCoder: you're being wrong; binaries run with any distro
15:28 OldCoder Taoki, Even the kernels are different. Even kernels with the same release number
15:28 nyuszika7h joined #minetest
15:28 Calinou I can run sauerbraten from the official source in ubuntu, mint and debian just fine
15:28 OldCoder Calinou, you know perfectly well that is not true at all
15:28 OldCoder Ha
15:28 OldCoder Calinou, those are all
15:28 OldCoder the same distro
15:28 OldCoder to some extent
15:28 Calinou different kernels
15:28 OldCoder Now... take them to CentOS
15:28 Taoki That I didn't know. I saw a kernel branding package though
15:28 Calinou ubuntu with kernel 2.6.32, 2.6.35, 2.6.38, 3.0, 3.2
15:28 OldCoder Yes
15:29 OldCoder Now... take them to CentOS
15:29 OldCoder I dare you :p
15:29 Calinou OldCoder: run sauerbraten from official source and tell me what happens
15:29 Calinou http://sauerbraten.org/
15:29 OldCoder Calinou, you are not being specific
15:29 OldCoder Now... take them to CentOS
15:29 OldCoder I dare you :p
15:29 Calinou see the linux download. it has precompiled binaries
15:29 Calinou run them, get the dependencies first, it will work
15:29 OldCoder Calinou, Ubuntu, Mint, and Debian Community Edition etc. are largely the same distro
15:30 OldCoder Statically linked binaries are reasonably portable
15:30 OldCoder But even they
15:30 OldCoder Will not work in many cases
15:30 OldCoder And Minetest is not statically linked
15:30 OldCoder To address the issue...
15:31 OldCoder I have started to statically link parts of Minetest. See my latest instructions.
15:31 OldCoder But even the statically linked version will not work across the entire range.
15:31 OldCoder Calinou, how many distros have *you* built MT or other FOSS in general for?
15:31 OldCoder I have been doing this for 20 years
15:31 OldCoder
15:31 * OldCoder is AFK for a few minutes
15:32 OldCoder Taoki, your questions are sensible. We will talk further if you wish.
15:32 * Taoki has so far found openSUSE is stable and functional with almost any other program, so I'm not worrying
15:32 Taoki OldCoder: Sure. I'd like that :) I like Linux and those matters
15:32 * OldCoder has not said to worry. All will be well.
15:32 Calinou and this is why different kinds of packaging hurts
15:33 Taoki OldCoder: I can also easily tell you're an experienced coder and very interested in those things too. Really nice to meet someone like that!
15:33 Calinou distros are getting more and more distro-specific
15:33 Calinou see fedora
15:33 Taoki yeah
15:33 Calinou oh we have /bin? LETS PUT EVERYTHING TO /sbin OR I DONT REMEMBER IT WAS /sbin INTO /bin
15:33 Taoki IIRC Fedora is most close to openSUSE. I tried it but it simply seemed like a simpler version of it
15:33 OldCoder Taoki, Calinou thank both of you for your points. They are interesting. Calinou I have talked to Gentoo about starting OpenLinux to fight this. RedHat is proposing changes that the smaller distros dislike.
15:33 Taoki I have /bin, never heard of sbin
15:33 Calinou gentoo *laughs*
15:34 Calinou thexyz: ^
15:34 OldCoder Google for the systemd debate
15:34 * OldCoder will return
15:34 Taoki Fight what?
15:34 OldCoder RedHat
15:34 Calinou Taoki: /sbin stores binaries run in root space iirc
15:34 OldCoder Moving to take over Linux
15:34 Calinou systemd is fine; upstart sucks
15:34 Taoki ok
15:34 Calinou debian uses the good old init and it's faster to boot than ubuntu
15:34 Calinou who said upstart solved things? :3
15:35 Taoki Great... actual wars betweel Linux distributions. Just when I tought I';; find peace leaving Windows behind :D
15:35 Taoki *between
15:36 NekoGloop Leaving windows behind isnt the answer.
15:36 Taoki Well, I mainly wanted Linux for two large reason (alongside the small ones). 1 - It's free and open source, 2 - It has software repositories, and I can keep my system updated and installations easily, rather than going to 1000 websites to look "for the latest setup.exe"
15:37 Calinou windows sucks and unfortunately it's sold with all computers
15:37 Calinou can't stand governments accepting this
15:37 Calinou some french guy said "we cannot guarantee installing an alternative operating system, so selling the computer with windows is fine"
15:37 Calinou <_<
15:37 Taoki Calinou: Windows kinda sucked. But since Windows 8, which now requires a Microsoft account to even log in, yes... it does
15:37 Calinou linux hardware compat is fine now; just get a nvidia GPU :P
15:37 Taoki Really though, Windows 7 is very good. So was XP. Others sucked badly, like Vista
15:38 Calinou Taoki: and it'll be sold with all computers
15:38 Calinou windows 7 is DECENT, it's not GOOD
15:38 Calinou barely
15:38 Taoki I stick with ATI thanks. But there are ATI drivers for Linux too, as hard as they are to find
15:38 Calinou ati *laughs
15:38 Taoki And most of my other hardware works. Some even out of the box, which it wouldn't on Windows
15:38 Taoki Oh come on, you hate those too :P
15:38 Calinou Taoki: basically, if you like win7 and XP but hate vista, why do you use KDE?
15:38 Calinou :>
15:38 Taoki KDE is close to Windows 7 desktop
15:38 Calinou nvidia is just faster anyway; it is more expensive but it's definitely worth it
15:38 Taoki And very customizable and modern overall
15:39 Calinou the free drivers let me play games
15:39 NekoGloop Calinou: Hates anything that isnt what he's used.
15:39 Calinou (even though nouveau sucks on fermi/kepler)
15:39 NekoGloop The traditional asshole.
15:39 Calinou no u
15:39 Taoki Calinou: ATI is much closer to the open source communities. Nvidia are the big corporations that restrict and patent everything
15:39 Calinou NekoGloop: true, that's what everyone does. :)
15:40 Calinou Taoki: nvidia is actually faster with free drivers
15:40 * Taoki puts NekoGloop in a more gentle way. Then again we all make mistakes and see things the way we're used to them being
15:40 Calinou - ATI free drivers require non-free firmware, so they're not 100% free
15:40 Calinou - the "ratio" free-to-proprietary driver is better for ATI, but actually nvidia is still faster
15:40 Calinou Taoki: you'll want to buy that random OpenGPU I seen on wikipedia then
15:40 Taoki I heard ATI is working on the open source linux driver together with the community, and might move to that sometime. nvidia doesn't like even hearing about it
15:40 Calinou as powerful as a nvidia 8xxx
15:40 Calinou $5000
15:41 Taoki Never heard of that, sounds interesting
15:41 Calinou I said the price
15:41 Taoki Thats probably whe I never even heard of it :P
15:41 Jordach lemme restart my pc
15:41 Taoki What does it do? Can it cook or fly you like an airplane
15:41 Taoki Or make coffee
15:43 Calinou ati's free drivers: slow and buggy
15:43 Calinou ati's proprietary driver: even slower and more buggy and hard to install
15:43 Taoki I agree
15:43 Taoki Calinou: The issue is a different one. There are no open-source Linux drivers that can run 3D games at any acceptable performance
15:43 NekoGloop Calinou: stupid and idiotic
15:43 Taoki For either card
15:44 Taoki The ATI driver included with openSUSE works very well for desktop effects, 2D and that sort of thing. The moment you start a 3D game all hell breaks lose
15:44 Calinou Taoki: nouveau lets me run 95% of games I play playably with decent settings
15:44 Taoki IIRC it's the same for the nvidia one
15:44 Calinou openarena, sauerbraten, minetest, red eclipse, xonotic
15:44 Taoki hmm...
15:44 Jordach joined #minetest
15:44 Taoki Is that an FOSS video driver?
15:44 Calinou yes
15:44 Taoki interesting
15:44 Calinou openarena even runs on llvmpipe with an i7 at 50FPS :P
15:44 Calinou this means no GPU used at all
15:44 OldCoder Back
15:44 Calinou (640x480)
15:44 Taoki Is it as fast as the proprietary one? All rendering settings working? Do WINE games run on it too (like Need For Speed or UT)
15:45 OldCoder <Taoki> Calinou: The issue is a different one. There are no open-source Linux drivers that can run 3D games at any acceptable performance
15:45 OldCoder Not quite true...
15:45 OldCoder The latest NVidia support seems all right
15:46 Taoki that's interesting then, didn't know that
15:46 Taoki That open-source nvidia drivers can run games
15:46 Jordach this is not #linux
15:46 OldCoder Jordach, it is about games including MT
15:46 Taoki Jordach: Nothing better being talked about ATM
15:47 Jordach i also rebooted since OpenAL clapped out my sound driver
15:47 OldCoder Nouveau drivers
15:47 mrtux joined #minetest
15:51 Calinou Taoki: on a nvidia 8600gt (quite old I know), playing openarena with free driver gets you 108FPS, proprietary one 104FPS
15:51 Taoki Calinou: That's nice :)
15:51 Calinou reverse engineering never means "worse" :P
15:51 Calinou it's not because you have the specs the thing will be better

17:10 OldCoder PilzAdam, Hi. May I PM?
17:11 Calinou OldCoder: don't ask to PM, it's pointless :P
17:11 Calinou gtg, dinner, bye
17:12 OldCoder Calinou is gone but it is not pointless
17:12 OldCoder It is required in some channels
17:12 PilzAdam it is
17:12 OldCoder So I am accustomed to it
17:12 OldCoder I am in channels where you are banned if you violate the rule
17:12 RealBadAngel_ calinou: lol
17:13 OldCoder PilzAdam, I suppose I could post that PM here
17:13 OldCoder a simple mod, shouldnt take long, something that doesnt allow the node lava_source to be placed above coord 0 on the y axis
17:13 ruskie OldCoder, I'm in to many channels to care for such unenforcable rules... but I find it polite in general to ask first
17:13 Jordach i see where OldCoder comes from
17:13 OldCoder That is a request from somebody who has been griefed
17:13 PilzAdam OldCoder, its easy; just define a on_place_node for lava_source
17:13 ruskie atleast if I didn't PM the person before
17:14 OldCoder PilzAdam, I have never written a mod. Though I plan to do so. rubenwardy Yep
17:14 Jordach OldCoder, which server has been griefed?
17:14 OldCoder Jordach, quite a few. If you mean that one I'll explain in PM
17:14 Jordach s/rubenwardy/ruskie

17:24 OldCoder Jordach, What am I to do with it?
17:24 Jordach delete and restart server
17:24 Jordach as with Taoki
17:24 OldCoder O.K.
17:24 Jordach (do this when updating technic)
17:24 OldCoder Also auth entry I assume
17:24 OldCoder k
17:25 OldCoder Is Technic ready?
17:25 ruskie can you confirm it was created during the last few days?
17:25 OldCoder Checking
17:25 ruskie I know there's atleast one other person using this same nick
17:25 ruskie so wouldn't want an issue there
17:25 OldCoder I can't confirm the date
17:26 OldCoder Deleting now though
17:26 OldCoder Is Technic ready?
17:26 OldCoder RealBadAngel_,
17:26 RealBadAngel_ puting final touches, in a few minutes
17:26 OldCoder k
17:26 OldCoder world down til then
17:27 Jordach >:(
17:27 OldCoder Jordach, patience
17:27 OldCoder I stopped to fix Ruskie
17:27 OldCoder No point in starting for 5 minutes
17:27 Jordach i finally got the final bits for my solar panels
17:27 OldCoder Sorry
17:27 ruskie are there any client mods that one should use? or are they all just server mods?
17:27 OldCoder ruskie, I have most of the mods
17:27 Jordach ruskie, all server side
17:27 OldCoder on the server
17:27 OldCoder You are set
17:27 ruskie ok
17:27 OldCoder ruskie, what is your OS?
17:27 ruskie debian
17:28 OldCoder Which Debian? How new?
17:28 ruskie I rolled my own version of minetest ;)
17:28 OldCoder k
17:28 ruskie 0.4.3
17:28 OldCoder All set then
17:28 ruskie is what I'm running
17:28 OldCoder ruskie, do you wish to try my version?
17:28 OldCoder With Jordach Vanessa Taoki patches?
17:28 ruskie what do they do?
17:29 Jordach adds: texture filters, 3d glasses mode, and apple tree generation
17:29 OldCoder Filters, anaglyphic, fewer crashes, apples but that is server side
17:29 ruskie hmm would be willing to give it a go
17:29 OldCoder http://oldcoder.org/general/minetest/mtbuildlinux.html
17:29 OldCoder All my sources and runtime scripts are there
17:29 OldCoder Latest mods etc.
17:30 OldCoder Feedback welcome
17:31 ruskie why separate build of irrlicht?
17:32 OldCoder ruskie, following reasons:
17:32 OldCoder 1. Static better if you wish to package. 2. Distro version sometimes has errors. 3. But try distro version if you wish.
17:33 ruskie well already running distro version with: celeron55-minetest-9696ed3
17:33 OldCoder Fine
17:33 OldCoder And I assume you will not package
17:34 ruskie checkinstall does the job ;)
17:34 OldCoder No
17:34 ruskie but yeah other than my own use no I wont
17:34 OldCoder That is not the issue
17:34 OldCoder Library problems
17:34 OldCoder If you package...
17:34 OldCoder But some parts static if possible
17:35 OldCoder *Build
17:35 OldCoder Somebody page me when Technic is ready
17:35 ruskie I generally have no big issues with such
17:36 ruskie still do some work for source mage distro which is from sources so used to a lot of stuff with weild libs and so on
17:37 Jordach RealBadAngel_ = tekkie
17:39 RealBadAngel_ shit i just deleted somehow all grinder recipes
17:39 ruskie any good texture packs for clients or is everyone just using the default stuff?
17:42 Jordach https://github.com/RealBadAngel/technic/blob/master/grinder.lua#L12
17:42 Jordach nice and safer
17:43 * PilzAdam is back
17:45 OldCoder PilzAdam, the other person wanted to know if you'd do the mod. If the answer is no that is fine.
17:45 PilzAdam gimme a sec.
17:45 RealBadAngel_ OldCoder, update is ready
17:46 OldCoder k
17:46 RealBadAngel_ jordach: i deleted new ones
17:46 RealBadAngel_ you can check the link you given again
17:46 OldCoder EU restarted without ruskie and with new Technic
17:47 ruskie thank you

18:21 Taoki Sorry, I can't see it
18:22 Taoki Never mind
18:22 Taoki Downloading source now, will attempt to compile and see how it goes
18:23 Taoki Sadly I'm not familiar with those instructions. I don't even use YUM, just yast. But I can easily find any dependency package there so no problem.
18:24 * Taoki is also used to setting up projects via cmake-gui, which is how I get c55's minetest to compile. Will attempt this here as well at first, which should certainly work without problems
18:26 sfan5[iPod] joined #minetest

18:37 Taoki OldCoder: Done compiling the client and server (two times because I forgot the path and compiled c55's GIT at first). Going to start it up now and see how everything works
18:38 OldCoder k
18:39 Taoki OldCoder: I'm in a single player world. Looking good... mipmaps and anisotropic filtering working as well
18:39 Taoki OldCoder: Are there specific things I should try to do in-world and test what the result is? Like craft or use some items
18:40 OldCoder Taoki, on the phone ATM but bbiab
18:40 OldCoder Taoki, try your own change
18:40 Taoki sure
18:41 sfan5[iPod] joined #minetest
18:42 Jordach OldCoder, we found a bug in europe
18:42 OldCoder Jordach, Oh?
18:43 Jordach anunaki's bobblock lights in his ice house can be removed by fists but not placed
18:43 Taoki OldCoder: Anaglyph stereo works. Using 3D glasses now, looks as good as last time
18:43 OldCoder Conclusions
18:43 OldCoder k
18:43 Taoki So yes, it's all good. Only that the settings are still not in minetest.conf.example
18:44 Jordach OldCoder, RealBadAngel_ was notified
18:44 OldCoder Jordach, k
18:51 Taoki OldCoder: It's missing mods from minetest.org however, and the pack is called minetest_minimal. Is that intended?
18:51 OldCoder Hi
18:51 OldCoder Wait
18:52 Taoki ok. eg: There's no animated water... and it also doesn't have the nicer textures
18:53 Taoki Also, I get corrupt textures in inventory for some reason. Dunno why\
18:54 Taoki Yes, my bad, your source comes with the original minetest_minimal game. Your version with all the mods is probably separate. If you have a link to that as well please let me know
18:56 OldCoder Taoki, Hi
18:57 OldCoder Off the phone now
18:57 OldCoder Reviewing
18:58 OldCoder Taoki, I have not modified the example file yet. I need to study it regarding all the settings
18:58 FreeFull Anaglyph screws with your eyes
18:58 OldCoder Jordach, Europe bug is outside the level I work at. RBA would be the one I think.
18:58 Taoki ok
18:58 OldCoder FreeFull, It is optional.
18:59 OldCoder Taoki, My version with all the mods is linked on the page. Did you do the full procedure?
18:59 Taoki OldCoder: Ok, I'll look again. And I compiled the source you linked if you mean that. I didn't use the instructions there since I'm not familiar with those, and how I already did it worked perfectly fine here
19:00 cisoun joined #minetest
19:00 OldCoder Taoki, yes but you are asking more questions that are solved by that page. Go back and do it that way.
19:01 Taoki If you mean the data yeah, I'll look again now
19:01 OldCoder O.K. I have reviewed and I think I'm caught up. Thank you all plus Taoki FreeFull Jordach for your interest. Plans for adding patches will proceed.
19:02 OldCoder All: This has been interesting. I will put more stuff online over time.
19:02 OldCoder Patience is requested.
19:03 Taoki Yeah, it's really nice and fun to test and see how things advance
19:03 OldCoder I hereby request whatever patches people wish to give me; please put them in diff -ruN format.
19:03 OldCoder We will work out conf file settings and textures and so forth
19:03 OldCoder I will also...
19:03 OldCoder Make my entire structure FOSS over time
19:04 OldCoder So that if something happens to me, you can all continue with this project
19:04 Taoki Ah yes, the data is working. Really nice like on the minetest.org server
19:05 Taoki And don't worry, nothing will bad happen :) But I always appreciate how other developers care to make everything FOSS
19:05 Taoki Im the same way
19:08 OldCoder Good
19:09 Taoki OldCoder: Now that I compiled from your source, and got your game data, si there anything else you want me to test? All looks good to me, so if you want me to test crafting or using some specific stuff let me know
19:13 OldCoder
19:13 OldCoder Reviewing
19:14 OldCoder Taoki, are you using (a) my minetest_game (b) my minetest.conf (c) my server client code? If so you are good to go. Just play both single user and a network site. Have fun and let me know. Maybe do this...
19:14 OldCoder
19:14 OldCoder Taoki, this week work through my tutorial *exactly* and provide feedback please
19:14 OldCoder
19:14 Taoki OldCoder: Not your minetest.conf, but the code and data yes. I'll play then and let you know if i see anything bad
19:16 OldCoder Taoki, we are agreed. If you are willing, review the tutorial as well when you can. This will be helpful.
19:16 OldCoder Taoki, Not everybody is as educated as you are. You could be helpful.
19:16 OldCoder
19:16 OldCoder See if the procedure will actually work for you
19:17 OldCoder But it must be followed exactly
19:17 OldCoder
19:17 Taoki OldCoder: I already have the dependency packages installed, so using Yum (which I don't use) to re-install them would have the same effect at best. I could try setting up cmake from the console with those commands instead of the GUI like I do normally, maybe I'll look into it
19:18 OldCoder Taoki, whatever you think best
19:20 Taoki OldCoder: Probably going to play more on minetest.org for now. But There are some mods which I'm not sure about including, while others which I think are missed. Would you like to hear about it?
19:20 Taoki just what i think
19:24 arutr99 joined #minetest

19:29 OldCoder Hi
19:29 OldCoder arutr99, Hi
19:30 OldCoder Taoki, Yes I'd like to hear
19:30 Taoki ok
19:32 Taoki OldCoder: A mod I don't agree with is the timber one. It's nice and works, but if you cut down the bottom block of a tree all others fall. This makes it kinda pointless to harvest wood, and the axe an useless item (it's too easy to bring trees down). I'm also not sure if items like the laser gun are that fit for MineTest... especially when laser shots take out whole blocks
19:33 Taoki OldCoder: Mods I know of which are nice, which come to mind right now (but I haven't seen here) are the workbench and animals mod. Workbench is still buggy, so that one might be best to leave out until it's fixed. Animals worked nicely last time, it's a lot more fun and you might wanna consider it
19:35 OldCoder R == Reviewing
19:35 OldCoder Responses for Taoki:
19:35 nyuszika7h joined #minetest
19:35 OldCoder 1. Timber was suggested by others. Ask for consensus. If people don't wish it then it can go.
19:35 Exio joined #minetest
19:36 OldCoder 2. Laser is Technic, isn't it? Talk to RealBadAngel_ if so. Also others. Consensus please.
19:36 OldCoder 3. Workbench is interesting. Tell me when it's ready.
19:36 OldCoder 4. I'd be pleased to add animals. But I've been told they may lead to CPU or crash problems. Is this not true?
19:36 OldCoder Done. For Taoki ^
19:36 OldCoder
19:37 FreeFull Animals are rather resource-intensive
19:37 OldCoder FreeFull, go on. How much so?
19:37 Taoki OldCoder: About 4: I never had any CPU issues or crashes. Maybe someone else can confirm.
19:37 OldCoder All right. Listening with interest to FreeFull.
19:37 Taoki FreeFull: Ok then. Wonder why I never had issues if such. Hope it will get fixed
19:37 OldCoder I could add animals right now just to one world. 30000 possibly.
19:38 Jordach OldCoder, NO!
19:38 OldCoder Jordach, speak!
19:38 * OldCoder listens
19:38 Jordach animals is horrible - and can hang the server
19:38 OldCoder No hangs please
19:38 OldCoder Perhaps somebody can start a lighter version
19:38 Jordach and i dont think the deadman will revive it
19:38 OldCoder Oops
19:39 OldCoder Taoki, if this is true...
19:39 Jordach since setvelocity will make it loop
19:39 OldCoder Perhaps a new mod is needed
19:39 Taoki Would make sense. Though I never had hangs with it IIRC
19:39 Taoki Jordach: Has anyone identified the exact codes and functions in LUA that cause that?
19:39 OldCoder Conclusions: 1. I will wait for consensus. 2. RBA will want to keep it. 3. Will wait for ready. 4. Nope.
19:39 OldCoder
19:40 Jordach <Taoki> Jordach: Has anyone identified the exact codes and functions in LUA that cause that? - no, animals has become so large no one has the time to
19:40 RealBadAngel_ of course i will :)
19:41 toniepeli joined #minetest
19:41 Jordach i might start working on making a nuclear reactor for technice
19:41 RealBadAngel_ tested all the dyes
19:41 Jordach WTF
19:41 Jordach i picked up the light block from the flashlight
19:41 Taoki OldCoder: Ok. One more thing I wanted to suggest: Now that dropped items are picked up automatically when walking over them (like in MC), could we make all blocks drop to the ground instead of going to inventory? More realistic and fun that way
19:42 RealBadAngel_ thanks to grinder we can have now both unified dyes and default
19:42 Jordach Taoki, probably modified for a reason
19:43 FreeFull Jordach: And add uranium ore?
19:43 Jordach there already is one
19:43 FreeFull Ok
19:43 beardy joined #minetest
19:43 Taoki OldCoder: Another small observation: The moreores mod adds too many useless ores IMO. I'd like to see it reduced a bit. If others agree of course
19:44 Taoki So many of them... not sure which are even used to craft something
19:45 Jordach they are all used by the technic mod
19:46 Taoki Ok, they are useful then. Disregard that
19:46 Taoki Still wish it didn't make so many :P
19:48 Taoki Jordach: About the animals mod bug with lag: Is it possible to create LUA mobs and creatures without it then? Or does any mob have such issues? Talking about simple entities that roam around and move, and can be harvested for items and the like
19:48 OldCoder Taoki, will you add to a text file with these points?
19:48 Jordach LUA entities are slow, ask pilzadam this
19:49 Taoki OldCoder: Only current one was making all mined blocks drop to the ground, now that items are automatically picked up
19:49 Taoki Jordach: Ok. So mobs / creatures can't be properly implemented yet?
19:49 Taoki I mean done at all for a mod
19:49 OldCoder Taoki, I am interested. I'd like you to edit what you can into a text file
19:49 OldCoder Get consensus if you can
19:49 mrtux_ joined #minetest
19:50 Taoki OldCoder: Perhaps I should post on the forum
19:51 Taoki Other than that: I'm seeing some issues with the ambience mod
19:52 Taoki Not sure if they're because better can't be done. Like eg: Lack of directional and distance-based sounds
19:52 Jordach OldCoder, building quick enough can override the node ownership
19:52 Jordach (i could build on rbas land.)
19:52 Jordach night all
19:53 Taoki night
19:54 OldCoder hmm
19:54 arutr99 who is xh?
19:54 OldCoder Taoki, I need text files. Post on forum to build consensus if you wish.
19:55 OldCoder arutr99, a coder
19:55 Taoki ok
19:55 Taoki Who made the ambience mod BTW?
19:55 arutr99 how old?
19:55 OldCoder Taoki, two people or groups. One moment.
19:56 arutr99 ?

20:43 OldCoder ERROR[ServerThread]: Item "technic:rubber_leaves" not defined
20:43 RealBadAngel_ so why it is down?
20:43 OldCoder It is not down
20:44 OldCoder Can't you connect?
20:44 RealBadAngel_ cant
20:44 OldCoder Hmm
20:44 ruskie btw happened somewhere betweeen: 22:27:22 and 22:39:48 CEST
20:44 OldCoder Is anybody else able to connect to EU?
20:44 OldCoder Let me try
20:44 ruskie I'm not
20:44 OldCoder Process is running
20:45 OldCoder Let me try
20:45 ruskie I was still connected to it but nothing was going on and I wasn't able to do anything as well
20:45 ruskie couldn't even open the door
20:45 RealBadAngel_ Oldcoder, restart it
20:45 OldCoder Sure
20:45 ruskie the reason I can narrow the time is because a friend of mine was connecting during that time
20:45 OldCoder But wait a moment
20:45 OldCoder ruskie, ty
20:45 OldCoder No signs of a problem
20:45 OldCoder Random glitch perhaps
20:46 OldCoder O.K. restarting
20:46 OldCoder Wait
20:46 OldCoder I had better check for database corruption
20:46 ruskie ahh
20:47 teknkik quality celeron55 code
20:47 OldCoder Wait
20:47 OldCoder still copying backup
20:47 OldCoder Nice large world

20:50 OldCoder This one is hosted by anunakki
20:50 OldCoder I have no funds I am afraid for more VPS ATM
20:51 OldCoder Wait
20:51 OldCoder Checking database and also cleaning it
20:51 OldCoder After any lockup crash this is a good idea
20:51 OldCoder We don't get too many of those fortunately
20:52 OldCoder No question; VPS is slow today
20:52 OldCoder No CPU load though
20:53 OldCoder
20:53 OldCoder RealBadAngel_, Looks like this may be a ten minute procedure
20:53 OldCoder I am working on it. Necessary to maintain health of world.
20:54 OldCoder RealBadAngel_, ruskie, anunakki and others: This world has grown to a very respectable size! I'd like another tour sometime
20:54 ruskie well I only have a tiny home in it so far
20:55 RealBadAngel_ today there was 6 folks online at the same time
20:55 ruskie but you're certainly welcome to drop by
20:55 ruskie couple of people already did today
20:55 iqualfragile well, i can compile your version of minetest
20:55 iqualfragile but it would be nice to have a good changelog
20:55 OldCoder iqualfragile, Of course

21:53 OldCoder Hi
21:53 RealBadAngel_ hi NakedFury
21:53 OldCoder Octupus wishes to know how to get Yaw to zero. He states it will not move past 1.6. I will suggest he stop by here.
21:54 Octupus joined #minetest
21:54 Octupus Hi
21:54 RealBadAngel_ NakedFury, 27 new textures today in technic ;)
21:54 OldCoder Octupus, Hi
21:54 OldCoder Octupus wishes to know how to get Yaw to zero. He states it will not move past 1.6.
21:54 OldCoder I am not an expert. Can anybody help?
21:54 OldCoder The goal is to use WorldEdit
21:55 OldCoder
21:55 OldCoder <OldCoder> Octupus, go to the world you are interested in
21:55 OldCoder <OldCoder> Rotate player until yaw is zero
21:55 OldCoder <OldCoder> Press F5 for info BTW
21:55 OldCoder <OldCoder> Find SW corner of region
21:55 OldCoder <OldCoder> Do //pos1
21:55 OldCoder <OldCoder> Find NE corner of region
21:55 OldCoder <OldCoder> Do //pos2
21:55 Octupus to copy my castle
21:55 OldCoder <OldCoder> Do //save baconworld
21:55 OldCoder
21:55 OldCoder Those are the instructions I have given him
21:55 OldCoder Can anybody comment on the proper way to get Yaw to zero so that SW and NE corners can be found?
21:56 OldCoder Octupus, If nobody answers I will copy your castle myself
21:56 Octupus k
21:56 OldCoder But I can't today
21:56 NakedFury dont really know
21:56 OldCoder I am elsewhere ATM but will return
21:56 OldCoder NakedFury, ty
21:56 NakedFury I guess a new command /yaw zero would be usefull for that
21:57 RealBadAngel_ NakedFury, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmMuDsHGAM0&amp;feature=plcp
21:59 NakedFury ok you bastard that was awesome. even more textures to make
22:00 RealBadAngel_ come to europe.minetest.org
22:00 RealBadAngel_ i will show you somethin
22:00 RealBadAngel_ the biggest door ever made in minetest :)
22:01 FreeFull Could be used for a castle
22:01 RealBadAngel_ or a bridge
22:02 NakedFury in a moment, got emails to destroy
22:09 NakedFury do you think it would be possible to put a constructor with a block inside a constructor so you make a flawless secret wall door?
22:10 NakedFury leave a space and place constructor. put a constructor infront of it looking to the space and a block infront/ press the button and the first constructor takes out the block then it goes inside the constructor
22:13 RealBadAngel_ simply to make
22:13 RealBadAngel_ use 2 nodes version
22:13 RealBadAngel_ block 1 of the slots
22:13 RealBadAngel_ with other kind of node
22:14 RealBadAngel_ so constructor wont be able to pick it up
22:14 RealBadAngel_ and allow only last one to be placed and taken
22:14 RealBadAngel_ so the constructor will be hidden
