00:04 restcoser paramat: im perhaps a little late, but what is overgeneration?
00:04 restcoser (btw: I love your mapgens, much helpful for learning)

00:08 monkeycoder joined #minetest
00:08 Exio4 restcoser: he already answered what 'overgenerating' is
00:09 restcoser exio4: oh... i see... doesnt mean i understand it :D
00:09 restcoser i mean, how can one access the nodes outside of the current block?
00:10 restcoser and why would one do it in the first place?
00:13 us`0gb joined #minetest
00:16 Exio4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMIX
00:19 Exio4 i didn't know you had a backend w/ GCC
00:19 Exio4 you can make a distro that runs in non-existant hardware!

00:22 paramat oh hi
00:24 paramat it means, during mapgen, to generate a particular chunk, the math is done for the chunk but also the 16x16x16 mapblocks around it
00:24 restcoser but...
00:24 restcoser you dont have the data for chunk+1?
00:24 restcoser *block if talking of MT
00:25 paramat you just do the perlin noise math for the outside volumes too
00:25 restcoser so i guess one can't use voxelmanip then?
00:26 restcoser or...
00:26 paramat well im working on how to overgenerate perlinmaps
00:26 paramat the LVM itself isn't a problem
00:26 restcoser well, i guess i can instruct it to create a 110x110 map...
00:26 ibloat joined #minetest
00:27 restcoser well, the smoothing and chunkborder benefits are obvious, but lighting?
00:27 paramat yeah it helps lighting to know whats directly above a chunk
00:27 restcoser well, but you can't know if the "ceiling" is in 16 blocks or in 17
00:28 restcoser or there at all
00:28 restcoser do you just assume after this block + 16 blocks no ceiling is reached?
00:28 restcoser *nodes
00:33 paramat yeah indeed there's no way to detect a ceiling beyond 16 nodes so many lighting bugs remain
00:34 restcoser hmm... thered need to be a system that informs the generated blocks below if a overhang gets generated... probably too costy to be worthwhile though
00:34 paramat as i understand it overgeneration makes hmmm's intentions for mgv7 possible, but for biome reasons

01:18 hmmmm paramat, overgeneration will fix the "top node at y=47" problem but won't help lighting issues (it'd just make the lighting glitch at larger distances)
01:19 hmmmm but the thing is, i don't even really want to overgenerate in the y direction, only x and zd
01:19 hmmmm i may have to though, depends on how it turns out
01:21 paramat oh hi
01:22 hmmmm lighting problems would probably be fixed somewhat more (there will still be issues because solid nodes could be placed in the biome/vegetation phase) with y-direction overgeneration and light decay, however
01:22 paramat forest mod is better than the thread suggests http://i.imgur.com/tbd6CUy.png
01:22 hmmmm agh really need to get working on that darn light decay too
01:23 hmmmm i really love how there's that small band of grassy terrain sticking out into the beach biome
01:24 hmmmm i assume this is the 3d-noise based biome selection?
01:24 paramat ive been converting this to use perlin maps since the author has his computer time limited by his parents :P
01:24 paramat um, its mostly 2D noise
01:25 hmmmm agh i'd love to see some of those in the core
01:26 hmmmm you know, if you don't want to convert it to C++ there are people who would
01:26 paramat well maybe i'll convert one of mine to c++
01:26 paramat yeah i would probably want to do it myself hehe
01:29 paramat watershed mod is my best mapgen, ive described it in detail in the thread if you're interested in the use of noise https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=8609

02:23 paramat forest mod uses 17 perlin noises but i managed to get it down to 2-3 seconds per chunk for the mapgen loop itself. this is an impressive first mod by Gael de Sailly https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=8772
02:31 paramat ... theres even a squaring of elevation noise which creates pathways winding through the terrain

11:54 Crunchn Hello, I am using Windows, have updated video card drivers and I get 3-4 FPS in minetest, does anyone know of such an issue? I am using the newest release from the downloads page.
11:58 reactor john_minetest: hello every[CENSORED].
11:58 Crunchn ATI Radeon 4890. It plays BF3 at 40 fps on medium. I think it's pretty good.
12:01 Crunchn I tried turning everything off so lowest settings to see if it made a difference. It didn't. I am downloading the build you sent me now.
12:03 Crunchn A bit more bearable on the build you sent. I get 10 FPS. :D
12:03 Crunchn With all the visual settings off.

19:52 Sokomine hi kahrl. those tables for formspecs are really great! what i found also intresting was that "brighten" option in your example. is there a list somewhere of all these options? a "darken" does not seem to exist?
19:52 Jordach Sokomine, tried negative brightness?
19:53 Sokomine oh. no. do these options support parameters? i found no documentation for them
19:54 Sokomine jordach: there's been some progress on the traders that wear your skin :-) the current version can be found under https://github.com/Sokomine/mobf_trader
19:54 Jordach >mobf
19:54 Sokomine no, it does not need mobf. it just looks a bit like the trader in mobf and was inspired by that one to a degree
19:54 Sokomine the mod has no dependencies at all. media data is only the skins
19:54 Jordach rename the repo then
19:55 Sokomine hmm. i considered that but was unsure
19:55 werwerwer_ joined #minetest
19:56 Sokomine i mean..would "trader" really be a better name? i've named the main lua file with the actual trading already mob_trading.lua ...
19:56 Sokomine good mod names are hard to come by
