00:22 kaeza no idea about that, sorry
00:24 kaeza lel 48 tabs in chromium
00:24 kaeza err, chrome
00:25 shadowzone I see it
00:25 shadowzone stormchaser3000, the development build's hud is bigger than normal.
00:26 stormchaser3000 shadowzone: i can see that
00:27 stormchaser3000 but when i reduce the formspec size
00:27 shadowzone just letting kaeza know
00:27 stormchaser3000 the items are slightly distorted

01:15 Lugal hi
01:16 Lugal how can I deactivate the debugging info  ingame?
01:16 VanessaE f5
01:16 VanessaE that's the main debug display
01:16 VanessaE f6 has several pages of performance stuff also
01:17 Lugal but still there is the verson name and 1 error
01:17 VanessaE beyond that, increase your debug log level also
01:17 Lugal how can I make there be nothing?
01:17 VanessaE oh DEactivate
01:17 VanessaE what is the error?
01:17 Lugal yes^^
01:18 Lugal lol the error disappeared now^^. it was a missing dependency. so I can deactivate this error view?
01:18 Lugal and the version name?
01:19 VanessaE you can hide the HUD and chat with F1 and F2 but those won't stop the error from happening of course
01:19 VanessaE however neither of those controls will hide the version number
01:20 Lugal thanks
01:21 Lugal it stopped the version number from being shown
01:22 Valley_Cat joined #minetest
01:28 kaeza is it right that errors are output to regular chat?
01:29 kaeza it feels somewhat wrong...
01:29 VanessaE frankly I hate it.
01:29 VanessaE we have a debug log and a terminal for a reason
01:29 kaeza at least from an end-user perspective

04:32 paramat LazyJ, if you have updated MT with hmmmmm's recent commit: 'Noise: Don't assume Noise is used for 2D unless gradientMap2D is actually called' watershed will be fixed and you can start /regen-ing your buggy terrain. also i have now updated watershed to run faster
04:38 stormchaser3000 joined #minetest
04:40 DevilRomeo2 joined #minetest
04:40 DevilRomeo2 Good Morning guys
04:43 LazyJ Ok! Thanks, paramat.  \o/
04:44 paramat remember i doubled biome size on Aug 21st, do you use the old smaller biome size?
04:45 paramat i'm keen to hear if your regenning works
04:46 paramat it seems to run maybe 200ms faster per chunk
04:47 LazyJ I've been using the 2014_08_20 release of "Watershed".
04:47 LazyJ I just woke up, so I've missed most of the day's events.
04:49 paramat hm a day before biomes doubled in size? remember to change your spreads then
04:50 paramat in fact you don't need to update watershed at all, hmmmmm's commit fixed it
04:50 LazyJ It was the last update you made before this recent round.
04:51 LazyJ Umm.... commit 7f28c5b
04:51 paramat ah okay you have the large biomes then
04:51 paramat yep
04:52 LazyJ It will take me awhile to work-in the changes to the code that you've just accomplished.
04:53 paramat the 3D map should work for you then https://github.com/paramat/watershedmini
04:53 paramat okay
04:53 LazyJ I run PlantLife, MoreTrees, Trees, Farming, Farming Plus, and an old Berry Bush mod.
04:54 LazyJ To get all of those to work in Watershed, I've had to switch a lot of nodes out. Things like Watershed's dirt for default dirt.
04:54 paramat yeah
04:55 LazyJ So, I'll get myself a cup of coffee and start working on merging the code.
04:56 LazyJ As for the world itself, I only have a couple builds in it that are worth keeping, and I've learned a few things since, so I'm planning on using WorldEdit to save those few builds, and starting the world over.
04:57 DevilRomeo2 joined #minetest
04:57 DevilRomeo2 Is Calinou online
04:57 DevilRomeo2 Nvm she's not online
04:58 paramat i see
04:58 LazyJ Most of my Minetest time is spent on Wazuland2 related business.
04:58 DevilRomeo2 i am pretty sad
04:58 DevilRomeo2 i have 2 bugs on my mod
04:59 DevilRomeo2 first i have to change zangetsu texture and 2nd why do i crash on creative whenever i open the creative menu using this mod it works fine on survival
05:00 LazyJ Between Wazuland2 matters and touring and observing other servers, I putter on my long-term Watershed world.
05:02 LazyJ My latest efforts haven't been building new stuff, but finding and settling-in some of my better builds from my many other, old builds.
05:03 DevilRomeo2 O/O
05:03 LazyJ *many other, old worlds.
05:03 DevilRomeo2 Can somewone help me fixing this weird bug for my mod
05:05 Wuzzy2 joined #minetest
05:06 LazyJ DevilRomeo2, it's probably very early, Monday morning for most of the experts. They may still be asleep and most will either have class or work to get to after they wake up.
05:07 LazyJ What helps me, when I'm stuck on a mod, is to take a break from it for a while.
05:08 LazyJ Then I try to think of other mods that may be similar, try them out, look through their code, and see if they might do whatever it is I'm trying to accomplish.
05:09 LazyJ If so, then I study those parts and take another crack at my mod.
05:09 LazyJ I spent most of my weekend trying do just that.
05:09 DevilRomeo2 i have school holiday for 2 months hehe that ussaly on malaysia november until december
05:13 Miner_48er joined #minetest
05:17 paramat best thing to do is post your code and the error message in the forum
05:18 DevilRomeo2 hmmmm
05:20 LazyJ DevilRomeo2, This is a link dedicated to modding questions:   http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=4668
05:21 DevilRomeo2 wait
05:21 DevilRomeo2 how do i enable my mods for creative
05:21 DevilRomeo2 i have init.lua had the modpath tools.lua the tool section swords and crafting.lua

14:38 hoodedice What is print() in minetest?
14:38 kaeza a function
14:39 hoodedice haha
14:39 kaeza more specifically, a five-letter named identifier which holds a reference to a function as a value
14:39 hoodedice How do I use print in minetest to get something in either my chatbox or the console
14:39 hoodedice What is the equivalent of print() in the minetest engine?
14:40 hoodedice ...
14:40 kaeza uhh... minetest.chat_send_all?
14:41 hoodedice Minetest.log() found it.
14:41 hoodedice and thanks

15:13 msanchez hi, just noticed through minetest that the program's name does not show up in the taskbar, but a "Unknown" string instead
15:13 msanchez does anyone knows whether this is an issue in MT? or maybe the Irrlicht engine ?
15:13 hoodedice which OS?
15:13 msanchez Linux
15:14 hoodedice umm, which distro?
15:14 msanchez I'm seeing something similar to this: https://libgdx.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=10790000000&name=noappname.png&token=ABZ6GAc4IWJ_pSvPGcgFejivOuB3XiF0Yw%3A1418655468973&inline=1
15:14 msanchez Fedora 20 and Ubuntu Trusty
15:14 msanchez although I just built the code from sources and can see it anyway
15:14 hoodedice Can you please get a screenshot of the problem?
15:14 msanchez sure, let me get one
15:14 hoodedice does it happen in both distros?
15:15 msanchez yes
15:15 msanchez I'm using gnome-shell in both, btw
15:16 john_minetest joined #minetest
15:16 hoodedice I'm just logging a bug report for you, I can't help you out atm actually
15:16 hoodedice hey john_minetest
15:17 msanchez https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1381586/minetest-issue.png
15:18 msanchez hoodedice: thanks, please share the link to the bug report when you're done (and apologies, I probably should have done that myself first)
15:18 hoodedice hmm, that is quite weird
15:18 hoodedice no, it is alright
15:18 kaeza I recall that happening when using Unity, but not with Xfce
15:18 hoodedice Actually, I think this might be a gnome bug for all we know
15:18 msanchez ah, sorry about the window title
15:18 msanchez that was me messing with the code :)
15:18 msanchez It should say "Minetest"
15:19 hoodedice ah, could that be the problem? =)
15:19 hoodedice did you compile it anytime as is it, and it still had this problem?
15:19 msanchez nope, I just changed that text string because I just wanted to check whether that was actually the text in the window
15:19 hoodedice okay
15:19 msanchez yes, it still hast the problem
15:20 msanchez let me git clean -fdx and will refresh that screenshot
15:20 hoodedice I suggest you also check this with the gnome-shell IRC
15:21 msanchez updated
15:21 msanchez ok, I'll do. Thanks!
15:23 hoodedice oh dear, your Intel is a Haswell?
15:23 n4x rich guy ;_;
15:23 hoodedice And you're getting OpenGL 1.2?
15:23 hoodedice I feel sad for you
15:23 n4x that shouldn't happen
15:23 hoodedice Hey, even I have a Haswell
15:23 hoodedice Tagline: Celeron.
15:23 msanchez yes, it's haswell
15:24 hoodedice msanchez: you must check your intel repos, 1.2 is too old
15:24 hoodedice oops, misread
15:24 hoodedice they're getting 3.0
15:24 hoodedice still old
15:24 msanchez yes, I was not understanding the comment actually :)
15:25 n4x 3.0 is new, I would say?
15:25 msanchez I'm kind of locked in this old driver due to an issue with MTP in my laptop
15:25 n4x for opensource drivers, that is
15:27 hoodedice AFAIK, intel open sources all their drivers
15:27 SylvieLorxu joined #minetest
15:27 hoodedice I remember getting 4.0 in Xubuntu
15:28 msanchez yes, that's actually the reason why I always go for laptops with intel cards (I don't usually do gaming)
15:31 hoodedice meh, my 2500 is fast enough for LoL at 60 fps
15:31 hoodedice medium settings
15:31 realtinymonster joined #minetest
15:31 msanchez anyway, this does not seem to be related to the problem with the taskbar, right?
15:31 hoodedice no, your graphics is not related to the taskbar
15:31 hoodedice have you checked with gnome?
15:33 msanchez not yet, but I will
15:34 kaeza IIRC, it was something about Minetest not setting the window class name properly or something
15:34 kaeza can't find the bug report
15:34 Yellowberry good morning
15:35 msanchez kaeza: that was my guessing too. I was actually suspecting that the problem might be in the Irrlicht GE
15:35 msanchez as there is indeed a call to setWindowCaption()
15:35 hoodedice hello Yellowberry
15:35 kaeza yes, but window caption is not the same as window name
15:37 kaeza the former is for display purposes only; the latter is for identification purposes, and may be for visuals (e.g. window grouping in the same taskbar/launcher button)
15:38 kaeza or something like that. if it is wrong, I blame the internet and my failing memory
15:39 hoodedice Internet: lies, lies everywhere
15:42 Viper168_ not it isn't here's a perfect example of how accurate it can be http://dump.bitcheese.net/images/idegara/newisisflag.jpeg

15:46 hoodedice (Hint: hoodedice knows some amount of Arabic)
15:49 Viper168_ hah
15:49 Viper168_ is the translation good?
15:49 Viper168_ I used google because I don;t happen to know any arabic
15:50 hoodedice not so sure, donkey sex is more like donkey gender
15:51 hoodedice I'm not sure what the act of sex is called in arabic
15:51 Viper168_ hmm
15:51 Viper168_ oh well, doubt anyone will be able to tell
15:51 Viper168_ if not accurate
15:53 hoodedice I love how Battlefield 2 had this hotel in one of their Arab maps
15:53 hoodedice it had a big sign with Hotel written on it in Arabic
15:53 hoodedice Except, it was written as letoH, like, in reverse
15:54 marktraceur Lol internationalisation.
15:54 Viper168_ lol
15:54 hoodedice It was in left-to-right arabic lol
15:59 sol_invictus I've seen some games with left-to-right hebrew
16:00 hoodedice TIL Hebrew is read right-to-lieft

16:01 msanchez hoodedice: it seems the problem is that WM_CLASS is not set
16:02 hoodedice in Minetest code?
16:02 msanchez if I just run the following line, I can see the name and the icon in the taskbar:
16:02 msanchez xprop -name "Minetest [Main Menu]" -format WM_CLASS 8s -set WM_CLASS "Minetest"
16:02 msanchez I don't know if in minetest or in irrlicht
16:02 msanchez but it does look to me like the error is in that side
16:02 tpe joined #minetest
16:02 hoodedice alright
16:03 hoodedice how do you run that?
16:03 msanchez just in the terminal
16:03 msanchez while running minetest
16:03 hoodedice okay
16:03 msanchez the -name parameter is the selector,

18:47 rubenwardy hoodedice, Jekyll is awesome as a blog tool. Requires you to make your own HTML/CSS theme, of course.
18:47 rubenwardy https://github.com/rubenwardy/rubenwardy.github.io
18:47 hoodedice ruben, not enough time to write CSS code
18:47 hoodedice too busy trying to learn code
18:47 rubenwardy Lol.
18:47 rubenwardy CSS is a PITA most of the time.
18:47 Krock hoodedice, what are you learning?
18:48 hoodedice Hashes in Java
18:48 hoodedice also, lua tables
18:48 Krock oke

18:48 Calinou http://csslint.net/
18:48 hoodedice I don't even CSS
18:48 hoodedice left the manual at home
18:50 rubenwardy The problem is not learning CSS, it's fairly easy to get going, it's learning how to web design, to make it look good. And how to do CSS right.
18:50 rubenwardy But prioritizing is good.
18:50 hoodedice lol, I wrote a line of CSS without looking at the dox

19:30 hoodedice seeing that I have no real code, that is an achievement
19:30 hoodedice for me
19:32 rubenwardy I admit, the folder structure chapter isn't as entry level as it could be. The first few chapter should be very specific - "this is what you need to do, follow these steps" - and the later chapters are more like - "here is the theory, here is some example code, how about you experiment".
19:33 rubenwardy The instructions for using Eclipse with Minetest modding would be good as part of getting started, providing they work. http://dev.minetest.net/Intro#Integrated_development_environments

19:39 rubenwardy What chapters could I combine it with?
19:40 rubenwardy I think I'll leave it on its own.
19:41 Calinou is an IDE for Minetest really useful?
19:41 Calinou instructions for setting up a linter plugin for some editor would be useful though
19:41 Calinou like in Atom
19:41 Calinou (I haven't got it to work)
19:41 Calinou there is a Lua linter package available
19:42 Yellowberry rubenwardy: I like your python noob generator
19:42 rubenwardy Lol
19:42 rubenwardy So old
19:42 rubenwardy I am not sure, Calinou.
19:42 Calinou well, keep the instructions for Eclipse
19:42 rubenwardy It was added to the Intro. Maybe it should be mentioned, and linked to a wiki article on IDEs.
19:42 Calinou I'd like instructions for Atom
19:43 Calinou could be worth a whole separate page
19:43 Krock rubenwardy, could you extend the noob generator with... uhm.. terrorism words?
19:43 rubenwardy Wow
19:43 rubenwardy I should allow seeds for noobs. We could all share our seeds, then.
19:44 rubenwardy Oh, that's a euphemism, I think.
19:44 Krock rubenwardy, amazing idea .D
19:44 Krock s/./:/
19:45 rubenwardy Someone could write a minetest linter that shows API suggestions. But not me.

19:47 Calinou use mouse wheel? PgUp / PgDn?
19:48 domtron joined #minetest
19:48 rubenwardy I want to drag as it is faster than mouse wheel. PgUp works, I guess. (But I have to train myself out of using the scroll bar.
19:50 Calinou you can change mose wheel speed
19:51 kaeza moose speed?
19:52 kaeza Atom uses ~50% of a CPU for me :(

19:52 rubenwardy Nevermind, I'll google
19:53 kaeza will keep using Geany, kthxbai
19:53 kaeza ZeroBrane Studio is excellent for Lua code, BTW
19:54 rubenwardy Atom is currently using < 1% for me
19:54 rubenwardy According to System Moniter
19:56 kaeza yes, it uses no CPU if idle, but just scrolling the view is taking 72% of CPU time here

23:00 ciwolsey hey
23:00 ciwolsey theres no need for me to distribute mods to players? its done automatically right?
23:01 marktraceur Right, ciwolsey
23:01 kaeza ciwolsey, correct
23:01 ciwolsey amazing :)
23:01 marktraceur Or something.
23:01 kaeza actually, only media files and other small bits of metadata are transferred (i.e. the code proper remains on the server)
23:02 eeeeeta joined #minetest
23:02 ciwolsey i dont really understand.. but theres no need for people to get anything if they need to join my server?
23:02 marktraceur Exactly
23:02 marktraceur Well, Minetest.
23:02 marktraceur :)
23:03 kaeza I only point that, because as an user, you don't need to fear some server sending malicious code :)
23:03 VanessaE as long as they have a client that's up-to-date enough to handle the mods you use, that's all they need.
23:03 ciwolsey ahhh i see
23:04 ciwolsey so code from the mods is never actually run on the clients?
23:04 VanessaE right.
23:04 VanessaE not yet anyway.
23:05 ciwolsey i was trying out the mobs mod earlier..
23:05 ciwolsey it kept complaining about missing textures for the rats.. and something else
23:05 ciwolsey but the rats looked fine
23:06 VanessaE maybe a missing inventory image or something.
23:06 ciwolsey ah maybe
23:06 ciwolsey does minetest also deal with the removal of mods in a graceful way?
23:07 ciwolsey i mean if i have mod, and someone makes use of the stuff thats inside it.. then i remove it
23:07 kaeza depends on the mod
23:07 VanessaE it leaves "unknown node" in places where a previously-defined node had been placed.
23:07 kaeza or "unknown items" in inventories
23:07 VanessaE (or unknown items/entities in the....yeah, that)
23:07 ciwolsey the more i learn about minetest the more i am impressed
23:08 ciwolsey the only thing i dont like so far is the mobs
23:08 VanessaE if you later re-add the mod, the unknown nodes will become defined again.  also you can translate them with e.g. worldedit or by writing a mod that contains suitable aliases.
23:08 ciwolsey they are very simple.. and earlier the mobs started ignoring people completely
23:08 ciwolsey i had to restart the server to get the to 'see' people again
23:09 ciwolsey one thing i was wondering too
23:09 ciwolsey the way blocks pass data to each other
23:09 ciwolsey like for example pipes
23:09 ciwolsey they are passing say.. 'water' between nodes
23:09 ciwolsey is that done using the metadata stuff?
23:09 VanessaE that's an active routine that's moving those entities around or setting the pipes to "water"
23:10 VanessaE no, not with metadata in the case of pipes, but I have an ollllllllllld rewrite that was gonna do just that.
23:10 VanessaE (a pipe would have an actual quantity of water, almost like a pressure value)
23:10 ciwolsey ok so what part of the api do i need to use to hold state for nodes etc?
23:10 VanessaE it depends on the state you're trying to manage.
23:10 ciwolsey ok so in the pipe context
23:11 VanessaE some stuff can be done with just flags on the map, such as the node's facedir.  more complex stuff needs metadata, like a sign's text.
23:11 ciwolsey the way i would try to do it right now would be
23:12 ciwolsey just a "waterlevel" metadata
23:12 ciwolsey and as it flows to the next block add it, and subtract it from the current nodes meta data
23:12 ciwolsey is that wrong?
23:12 VanessaE nope, that's almost exactly what I coded in the alternate branch
23:13 ciwolsey but meta data is not attached to a node right?
23:13 ciwolsey but the location?
23:13 VanessaE https://github.com/VanessaE/pipeworks/commit/c3f3d15140f75c8cba4b88ffb70895864a16854f
23:13 ciwolsey so you have to deal with cleaning up the meta data when node is removed etc?
23:13 jojoa1997 joined #minetest
23:13 VanessaE metadata is attached to a location on the map, yes, but also to the node at that location - dig the node and the metadata is taken with it, usually destroyed unless your mod is coded to retain that data.
23:15 ciwolsey ah cool
23:15 VanessaE you can, for example, create a node that retains some flag or whatever in its meta, and that when dug continues to retain it.  the Memorandum mod works like that.
23:15 kaeza for an example of that, look at furnaces. they don't let the player dig the furnace if it has items
23:15 kaeza same with e.g. chests
23:15 VanessaE (you place paper, write on it, then you can dig the written paper and the message will be taken into your inventory with it)
23:15 VanessaE there's never anything left "in the map" to "clean up".
23:16 ciwolsey yes its cleaned up for me?
23:16 ciwolsey ok
23:16 kaeza (nodes can have inventories, and those inventories are part of that "metadata")
23:19 ciwolsey are there any tools i can use just to have a look at the meta data in a certain block?
23:19 ciwolsey node*
23:19 VanessaE um
23:19 VanessaE you know, I'm not exactly sure
23:20 ciwolsey i thought like a block you could put down and it would list whats in the block below it or something
23:20 ciwolsey i guess i could do that myself
23:20 kaeza it's impossible to do a "generic" tool like that, because you can't list which strings (fields) exist in the metadata
23:20 VanessaE kaeza: you sure about that?
23:21 kaeza but you can code a special tool to list get the fields you're interested in
23:21 kaeza VanessaE, there is one?
23:21 ciwolsey there might be a way to get all the fields or something
23:21 kaeza there wasn't last time I tried to do such a thing :P
23:21 ciwolsey thats what i was thinking
23:21 VanessaE kaeza: I don't know of one, but isn't the output from get-meta just a table anyway?
23:21 ciwolsey thats what i mean
23:21 ciwolsey surely theres some way to iterate over whats there
23:22 * kaeza looks at docs
23:22 VanessaE uh oh
23:22 VanessaE "Challenge accepted"
23:22 VanessaE ;)
23:22 ciwolsey :D
23:22 * VanessaE looks too
23:22 * ciwolsey three
23:22 ciwolsey even though i suck at lua
23:22 VanessaE https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L1008
23:22 VanessaE there.
23:23 ciwolsey table return?
23:23 kaeza oh nice
23:23 ciwolsey ohhh
23:23 ciwolsey :)
23:23 VanessaE so with that meta:to_table() method, you should be able to iterate over its contents
23:24 VanessaE the fun part will be interpreting the results :P
23:24 ciwolsey hmm yeah
23:24 ciwolsey the other thing i wondered is
23:24 ciwolsey is it possible from mods to use say...
23:24 ciwolsey ls
23:24 ciwolsey or ... system commands
23:25 VanessaE it was at one time, but that's since been locked down somewhat
23:25 ciwolsey thought it would be cool to grab things from the net and display them in the game
23:25 ciwolsey or something like that
23:25 VanessaE there's a pull request for that
23:25 VanessaE controversial
23:26 ciwolsey i know it probably would lead to some bad stuff
23:26 VanessaE https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1869
23:26 ciwolsey i mean stuff like that should be done async and stuff
23:26 VanessaE HTTP requests are async
23:26 VanessaE but what you get back from the request and what you do with it is what's making it so controversial
23:26 kaeza err... os.execute was locked down?
23:27 VanessaE some devs are paranoid that a mod author is gonna code some remote exploit
23:27 VanessaE kaeza: in SN's strict module, so I thought?
23:28 ciwolsey just make http optional?
23:28 ciwolsey like something you have to turn on
23:28 ciwolsey and is off by default
23:28 * VanessaE shrugs

23:30 kaeza VanessaE, io.popen still works
23:30 VanessaE hm
23:31 VanessaE guess that part wasn't touched then
23:32 kaeza local f = io.popen"cowsay"; for line in f:lines() do minetest.chat_send_all(line) end f:close()
23:32 kaeza :>
23:32 ciwolsey what can you  use to create the .x files?
23:33 ciwolsey (models)
23:33 kaeza most people use blender
23:33 ciwolsey ah i love blender
23:33 ciwolsey so thats good
23:33 VanessaE and don't use .x
23:33 VanessaE use .obj
23:34 ciwolsey oh nice
23:34 kaeza isn't .obj static?
23:34 VanessaE yeah
23:34 VanessaE use .b3d for animated then :)
23:34 VanessaE either way, don't use .x, it's bloated.
23:34 kaeza ^
23:34 ciwolsey ok
23:35 ciwolsey .obj is more common anyway
23:35 VanessaE irrlicht (the graphics engine Minetest uses) accepts several formats
23:35 ciwolsey ahhh

23:36 ciwolsey what ive seen of mobs so far theyre quite simple
23:37 ciwolsey whats limiting them? the people who write the mobs mods or the engines?
23:37 ciwolsey engine*
23:37 VanessaE yeah, MOBs have to be, because they run on the server (not the client), so complex actions would introduce more CPU load and more lag
23:37 VanessaE visible lag*
23:37 VanessaE that and, well, AI is hard.
23:38 ciwolsey dont they run on the server in minecraft?
23:38 VanessaE no
23:38 VanessaE afaik Minecraft runs a lot of mod/game code on the client
23:38 VanessaE that's part of why clients have to download the same mods as are used on a given server
23:38 ciwolsey ah
23:46 kaeza for anyone interested: https://gist.github.com/kaeza/3ff0042f0459560e0722
23:47 ciwolsey oooh
23:47 ciwolsey it works?

23:47 VanessaE heh
23:47 VanessaE leave it to kaeza :)
23:48 ciwolsey does the tiles table allow you to specify a texture for each side?
23:49 ciwolsey dont knwo if table is the right term.. maybe array
23:49 ciwolsey tiles = {"tutorial_decowood.png"},
23:49 ciwolsey this thing
23:49 kaeza https://mediacru.sh/pYZSCSddM8rK
23:49 ciwolsey very nice, ill try that in a bit
23:50 kaeza to use: create dir mods/metaspy, and save the text as mods/metaspy/init.lua
23:50 ciwolsey ok
23:55 kaeza I can code, but my creativity plain sucks

23:58 Tesseract ~tell Krock I have this nick because Tesseracts/HyperCubes are awesome!  And I'm still using it because I got disconnected and auto-reconnected with this alt nick and I haven't bothered changing it.
23:58 ShadowBot Tesseract: O.K.
