00:39 Sokomine hm. where best to put the images that describe my mods now that viewskew's gone?
00:40 VanessaE imgur?
00:40 Sokomine hi vanessa :-)
00:40 Sokomine hm
00:42 Sokomine nothing happens if i click on "computer" there. perhaps the site requires javascript?

02:06 LazyJ VanessaE, Sokomine, is there a termninal command to shutdown the minetestserver gracefully?
02:06 LazyJ External command, not the ingame '/shutdown'.
02:10 dzho joined #minetest
02:12 VanessaE kill -INT (the process ID)
02:12 VanessaE :)
02:13 LazyJ Thanks, VanessaE. Will that allow MT to save all info before shutting down?
02:13 ImQ009 joined #minetest
02:13 VanessaE ye
02:13 VanessaE yep
02:13 LazyJ What about 'killall minetestserver'?
02:13 VanessaE killall -INT minetestserver
02:13 LazyJ The process ID probably changes after the shutdown/backup/restart script does it's thing.
02:15 LazyJ Ok, thanks. Reading the killall man page now.  Oh. Party.
02:17 LazyJ Hmm.... is '-INT' and option by itself or three options combined?
02:17 LazyJ I'm not seeing it in killall's man page.
02:19 Menche that's the signal to send?
02:19 Menche what about TERM? doesn't that allow the process to clean up before quitting?
02:19 Menche as opposed to KILL
02:19 LazyJ Currently the script uses 'killall -w minetestserver'. We have a few players whose inventories are getting cleared after the server restarts.
02:20 LazyJ So one of the things I'm looking at is if the server is being killed too abruptly and their inventories aren't being recorded properly.
02:21 Menche from killall manpage: "Signals can be specified either by name (e.g.  -HUP or -SIGHUP) or by number (e.g.  -1) or by option -s."
02:21 Menche SIGINT or INT should be equivalent to ^c
02:22 LazyJ Trying the commands now.
02:23 SirDigby joined #minetest
02:23 Menche Wikipedia says that SIGINT or INT is roughly equivalent to SIGTERM or TERM
02:24 LazyJ Hmm.... 'invalid option 'I'
02:24 LazyJ It doesn't like the '-INT' option.
02:24 Menche try -s SIGINT?
02:26 Sokomine or perhaps  kill -2 processid might work on linux
02:28 Menche to use kill rather than killall without knowing the PID, could try "for process in $(pidof dwb); do kill -s SIGTERM $process ; done"
02:28 Menche in case there're multiple processes
02:28 Menche err, s/dwb/minetest

13:01 basilgohar If I get a segmentation fault on a server built from git when a client (also builds from git), what information can/should I provide that will help in finding the problem?
13:07 proller joined #minetest
13:10 Krock basilgohar: use pastebin.com or paste.ubuntu.com to paste your errors in there, I can't help you, but maybe someone else might help you
13:13 Shardvex joined #minetest
13:15 Hirato joined #minetest
13:17 Hirato bout time the farmesh stuff got improved :D
13:18 proller joined #minetest
13:21 PilzAdam basilgohar, a gdb backtrace would be best
13:21 PilzAdam with debug symbols compiled in
13:24 VanessaE Hirato: if by "improved" you mean "removed"...  :P
13:24 Hirato VanessaE: proller's made it a "low-res" version of the actual geometry
13:25 VanessaE screenshot?
13:25 Hirato bit iffy at the moment, blocks render where they shouldn't, unstable
13:25 Hirato by unstable I mean the resollution constantly jumps
13:26 Hirato really needs a video mroe so than a screenshot
13:30 Hirato https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23891252/screenshot_2456635563.jpg
13:30 Hirato you can sort of see it obviously
13:30 Hirato left side of the screen
13:30 proller move more, fly higher!
13:30 proller show more area
13:33 NakedFury joined #minetest
13:34 VanessaE doesn't look much different than what I already see now with mipmap, Hirato
13:34 VanessaE or wait
13:34 Hirato https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23891252/screenshot_2456921925.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23891252/screenshot_2456925024.jpg this shows it much better with the "fly high" hint
13:35 VanessaE interesting.
13:35 RealBadAngel on the 1st screenshot i can see giant dirt and stone nodes?
13:35 VanessaE seems a bit like an idea I'd seen last year
13:35 RealBadAngel in the middle
13:35 VanessaE a guy was proposing a similar idea for MC
13:35 Hirato I would've done the same thing, try to merge a 2x2x2 area into a single cube :P
13:35 VanessaE distance-based scaling of node resolution or some such
13:36 Hirato and going larger for further way things
13:36 Hirato thing is, I would've made the view distance more 'static'
13:36 Hirato since I find dynamic scaling never works very well :P
13:37 smoke_fumus joined #minetest
13:37 Hirato I remember this one time with sauer mod, if you looked at a map at just the right angle, your performance would just tank, the reason was that it was turning off the water shaders due to bad performance, then the performance was good so ti turned them back on, and it was just an endless cycle of that
13:37 Hirato haha
13:38 Leoneof joined #minetest
13:38 Hirato which meant it did reflections/refractions afresh for all water surfaces, which are quite expensive and throttled to one surface per frame
13:39 Hirato proller: anyways, do the textures have to scale?
13:39 Hirato if you load the textures without clamping them, you can use coordinates outside the 0-1 range to have them tile automagically
13:41 Hirato as in, using GL_REPEAT for the GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T and GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_R parameters
13:42 Hirato oh well, work in progress, haha
13:43 proller some textures cant be scaled, like dirt
13:45 neelmux joined #minetest
13:45 Hirato I was suggesting more that you use GL_REPEAT to automatically tile apply the texture over (0, 0) to (2, 2) on each face
13:46 Hirato rather than stretching it as currently appears to be the case
13:47 neelmux joined #minetest
13:48 whiskers75 joined #minetest
13:50 Hirato but meh, it's not like it's a work in progress or anything! :P
13:51 proller 16x smaller scaled texture from far distance like one color
13:51 proller no need in texture, must be drawen as average color
13:52 basxto joined #minetest
13:52 Hirato for half-sized ones you're going to see it, and what of high-res texture mods?
13:53 proller not tested
13:53 hmmmm joined #minetest
13:53 proller if you want to make better - patches are welcome ;)
13:53 Hirato as with everything open source :P
13:55 proller and some rare blocks not rendered, need to find why
13:56 Hirato after a little while, everything here just disappears and goes weird
13:56 Hirato I'm getting mountains where there aren't any and stuff
13:58 proller in 0,0,0 node in block was something, need to calculate average node in block
13:59 neelmux joined #minetest
14:00 proller average visible

14:12 basilgohar How do I enable LevelDB for a world on a server?  I just finished compiling it in with the latest version of LevelDB, but when the server creates a new world, it still says it's using SQLite.
14:19 basilgohar Okay, no crash this time, but now the world is just grey.
14:19 Krock worlds\yourworld\world.mt change backend = sqlite3 to leveldb
14:19 basilgohar Okay, there's the crash.
14:22 VanessaE bear in mind that you can't run the minetest mapper on a leveldb world, you'll have to copy and migrate it back to sqlite to map it
14:22 VanessaE (I mean the mapper that creates the overview images)
14:23 * Krock wonders why FM is double as slow then MT
14:23 Hirato blame everything on weather
14:24 * Krock adds: same configuration xP
14:24 proller slow what?
14:25 Krock FM: 7 FPS, MT: 16 FPS, everything disabled except of the nicer lights
14:25 proller vrange = ?
14:25 Krock 16 on both, (maximal)
14:26 proller try to disable VBO
14:26 Krock VB what?
14:26 basilgohar Okay, here is the debug.txt when I run with --trace: http://fpaste.org/82582/
14:26 proller enable_vbo = false
14:26 basilgohar PilzAdam: How do I run minetestserver under gdb?
14:26 basilgohar Krock: Thanks for the LevelDB tip.
14:26 PilzAdam gdb minetestserver
14:27 PilzAdam and then run
14:27 Krock basilgohar, but also nitive wwhat VanessaE said
14:27 basilgohar PilzAdam: Okay, what if I want to pass some arguments, like --disable-unittests?
14:27 Krock *note
14:27 basilgohar VanessaE: Okay, thanks for the tip.
14:27 basilgohar It's okay, Iguess I don't need that.
14:27 PilzAdam basilgohar, gdb minetestserver --args --disable-unittests
14:27 basilgohar (The arguments point.)
14:27 basilgohar Ah, okay, easy enough.  Thanks.
14:28 Krock proller, wow, fps increased by 10
14:28 Krock *to 10
14:29 proller liquid finite ?
14:29 Krock infinite
14:29 proller FM have different defaults from MT
14:30 PilzAdam why cant I open map.sqlite with the command line sqlite? "Unable to open database "map.sqlite": file is encrypted or is not a database"
14:30 FreeFull joined #minetest
14:30 Krock proller, yes, made for faster computers :3
14:31 Krock PilzAdam, my browser-php-sqlite3-manager workd fine with it
14:32 basilgohar Apparently I need to install some debuginfos...
14:33 PilzAdam basilgohar, you need to compile with cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
14:35 PilzAdam oh, well, I feel dumb now
14:37 basilgohar PilzAdam: Yeah, I redid my compile with that setting.
14:38 basilgohar But thanks for pointing it out.
14:43 basilgohar PilzAdam: Here's the gdb output with the crash: http://fpaste.org/82593/
14:43 basilgohar I'm not sure if that's very useful.  Is there something more I should be doing?
14:43 PilzAdam do a  bt  after the crash
14:43 basilgohar Oh, okay.  Give me a minute.
14:44 basilgohar Here you go: http://fpaste.org/82594/
14:46 basilgohar If it's helpful at all, I don't see any textures loaded when I connect with the client.
14:46 basilgohar I just see some block outlines when my cursor goes over a block, and then just the sky.
14:46 basilgohar And then maybe some dark blocks toward the bottom.

17:13 sfan5 VanessaE: you may find this interesting: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?pid=132048#p132048
17:14 PilzAdam lets download one of VanessaE's maps to test it
17:14 sfan5 does she offer then via HTTP?
17:14 sfan5 them*
17:14 VanessaE be my guest
17:14 VanessaE http://digitalaudioconcepts.com/vanessa/hobbies/minetest/Survival-map.sqlite.bz2
17:15 PilzAdam Ill start with the 206 MiB one
17:15 VanessaE (it's just the map.sqlite file, it's up to the downloader to turn it into a usable world)
17:15 sfan5 1,9G
17:15 sfan5 pfffff
17:15 sfan5 lol
17:15 PilzAdam -i
17:15 sfan5 VanessaE: Y U NO xz?
17:15 VanessaE there are other world files there too, sfan5.
17:16 VanessaE because I don't know that tool? :)
17:16 PilzAdam the 2 GB one would take over 30 minutes
17:16 sfan5 VanessaE: why don't you know xz?
17:16 PilzAdam VanessaE, do you know the dimension of Nostalgia?
17:17 VanessaE sfan5: never used it.  gz, bz2, zip are the only ones I use with any frequency
17:17 VanessaE PilzAdam: not off the top of my head, no.  it doesn't get a lot of play these days, so it isn't all that large
17:17 VanessaE http://digitalaudioconcepts.com/vanessa/hobbies/minetest/worldmaps/Nostalgia_World.png
17:18 VanessaE well at least in the X direction anyway
17:18 VanessaE rather large in the Z direction though actually
17:18 sfan5 VanessaE: have you looked at the post I linked?
17:18 VanessaE sfan5: yes, I was just reading it
17:18 sfan5 VanessaE: shall I add leveldb support?
17:19 VanessaE sfan5: absolutely yes - especially since kahrl has decided that it's good to include the C++ mapper in the MT core distribution
17:19 Jordach intergrate the fucking mapper into the actual client
17:19 Jordach you'll solve so much shit that way
17:20 VanessaE Jordach: fucking mappers would only be useful for over-18 games wouldn't they?
17:20 Jordach oh for fuck sakes
17:20 VanessaE (and if you need a map to fuck, you're doing it wrong)
17:20 fluxbot VanessaE, I detect a stupidity virus through your connection. You want to turn your computer off, right now!

17:20 VanessaE thank you.
17:20 fluxbot was kicked by Jordach: we don't need more botsd
17:21 VanessaE who added that anyway?
17:21 Jordach whiskers75
17:21 VanessaE ...
17:21 VanessaE you're right that the client needs some kind of integrated mapping support, but large-format overview mapping is also needed for websites/forum posts too
17:22 Jordach VanessaE, if the client made both a mini and giant map, it'd save so much effort
17:23 proller map.sqlite 3424M
17:23 VanessaE Jordach: indeed, but a client won't be able to generate an entire map for a server
17:23 Sokomine if you want a large world for testing, you can also try what i saved from redcrab. it's a small file (about 100 mb) but covers a large area with a lot of player built towns
17:23 VanessaE sfan5: I like these ideas that were proposed for the mapper.  especially the Y limits
17:23 Sokomine it's only a part of the map (what i saved with sfan5s modified client)
17:24 PilzAdam 97538 ms to generate VanessaE's map

17:24 Jordach RENDERS
17:25 VanessaE Jordach: to be fair, he does ...sorta...render them
17:25 Calinou joined #minetest
17:25 VanessaE just at a really REALLY low resolution :P
17:25 Jordach game render != render
17:25 VanessaE nono
17:25 VanessaE think of a node as a pixel
17:25 VanessaE brown -> dirt, green -> grass, etc.
17:25 Sokomine a less detailed overview map could be very helpful for a server
17:26 Sokomine yes. that's how the mapper does it
17:26 VanessaE so indeed, he is rendering, it's just extremely low-rez compared to what you do
17:26 VanessaE Sokomine: different (but related) subject :)_
17:26 Sokomine i think we'll only get further with real usable overview maps by adding abstraction
17:26 Sokomine guess so :-)
17:27 Sokomine that mapp mod is very nice - for floor plans of houses. for everything else, it shows too few area
17:27 Sokomine the overview map of a server is nice for some purposes - but mostly when you know already what's roughly there
17:27 VanessaE paramat's only problem with things like a Ringworld is that gravity doesn't follow the contour of the ring.  otherwise they're really neat
17:28 Sokomine for most players, a map where they can see where the spawn point is, where other players are, where major towns are and where roads/tunnels are would be more helpful i think
17:28 Sokomine home pos is important as well
17:28 VanessaE Sokomine: yeah
17:28 Tux[Qyou] joined #minetest
17:29 Sokomine kind of like...using maps which show roads instead of satellite images for large-scale navigation
17:29 rubenwardy joined #minetest
17:29 Sokomine paramat can't really emulate the ringworld :) that's far tooo large
17:30 Sokomine gravity's a problem as well, yes. except that with the scale of the "real" ringworld, it does not matter at all (similar to how it does not matter on a planet)
17:30 rubenwardy Hi all
17:31 VanessaE hi
17:32 SylvieLorxu joined #minetest
17:32 Sokomine hi rubenwardy
17:33 Sokomine i just see no way to detect the roads...towns may work to a degree
17:34 Jordach look for nodes such as stone brick, cobble
17:34 Jordach or gravel
17:34 Jordach and see if they link two points
17:36 rubenwardy Or use a special block to indicate roads?

19:39 sfan5 abstraction is hard
19:39 Exio4 why?
19:39 Exio4 it is the way to go, man, don't you get it?
19:39 sfan5 I just spent like 1.5 hours on abstracting the map backend usage in C++ minetestmapper
19:40 Exio4 lol
19:41 sfan5 and it does not work
19:41 sfan5 what did I expect? :-(
19:45 sfan5 ok
19:45 sfan5 it managed to render some nodes
19:45 sfan5 better than nothing

20:30 Sokomine hm. i wonder weather it would be more practical to send players/moderators around with a tool and tell them to punch road blocks...as long as the road continues in one direction, it could be considered part of that road
20:31 Sokomine sfan5: sounds fine :-)
20:31 Sokomine sfan5: it would also be great if you could integrate the map-saving into a more recent version of mt. perhaps it could be a parameter...
20:32 sfan5 Sokomine: leveldb-support for minetestmapper C++ is on the way
20:33 Sokomine sfan5: that's good. i had to convert the saved map from redcrab to sqlite anyway due to more players having sqlite support than leveldb, but servers tend to migrate to leveldb, and they need the mapper most
20:33 Sokomine sfan5: with map-saving, i have that special client in mind that stores the mapblocks it receives to disk; not the minetestmapper as such :-)
20:34 sfan5 into a more recent version?
20:34 sfan5 I just rebased my saveToLocalMap branch to master
20:34 sfan5 I didn't test it yet though
20:34 sfan5 would you mind testing it?
20:36 iqualfragile sfan5: am i understanding this correctly? you continue the development of minetestmapper?
20:37 sfan5 iqualfragile: I guess so, repo's at https://github.com/sfan5/minetest-mapper-cpp
20:37 iqualfragile great!

20:38 sfan5 leveldb works, but is darn slow because I need to get blocks that are psMin < blocknum < psMax and you can't do that with strings that easily

20:43 Sokomine sfan5: for backups of maps, and also for other purposes, it might be intresting to save the date when a mapblock was created - and save that on sql level. that way, people could do incremental backups of their map data
20:49 sfan5 iqualfragile: merged them
20:50 sfan5 Sokomine: you could hash the mapblocks too

20:56 domtron joined #minetest
20:58 Sokomine sfan5: hm, perhaps. disadvantage of hashes is that you won't know which one represents which stage...you can only identify mapblocks that way. and even that might not work so well as only-air/only-water/only-whatever blocks might share the same hash
21:02 sfan5 !tell Krok minetestmapper c++ with leveldb support: https://github.com/sfan5/minetest-mapper-cpp
21:02 MinetestBot sfan5: yeah, yeah
21:02 sfan5 iqualfragile: it takes 7m24s to generate this small map: http://i.imgur.com/LxOgiN3.png ; leveldb really needs optimisations
21:04 theTroy joined #minetest
21:11 Sokomine what's the problem with leveldb, sfan5? from what you wrote it sounds as if it does not work well with indices on the sql level?
21:11 roboman2444 joined #minetest
21:12 Sokomine ok, such a small map ought to be generated much faster
21:13 Sokomine sfan5: while playing with the minetestmapper a while ago, i also tried to let it paint nodes below ground. for those, it would be intresting to skip solid nodes until air is found - and then start looking for ground. if no air is found, the mapper could place a black dot
21:13 Sokomine that way, it might be possible to paint underground tunnel systems. could be intresting to see how they look like :-)
21:24 sfan5 Sokomine: the problem is I need to get all blocks e.g. 1273545 < n < 1764525
21:24 sfan5 We use string indices in leveldb, because of that I need to probe for every index whether it is found

22:50 Sokomine perhaps even in a diffrent table.....

23:04 iqualfragile sfan5: as a long term goal: would be nice to have the mapper run in paralel and make some minetest-mod trigger a rerendering of a specific part of the map whenever something changes that part
23:04 iqualfragile wait
23:04 iqualfragile it is allready possible, isnt it?
23:05 iqualfragile minetestmapper can render only certrain regions
23:05 iqualfragile you can then mash them together using imagemagic or something
