00:08 nolsen :(
00:11 nolsen Finally, My server is online after I was too lazy to run it.
00:13 nolsen Does anyone find annoying that people join your server, and not say a word?
00:14 nolsen I was going to teleport someone out of an spawn glitch, but decided to leave before I fix the privs
00:15 nolsen !mod android ban
00:15 MinetestBot nolsen: Could not find anything.
00:16 nolsen Would like to find a way to ban android clients because all they do is time out.
00:22 bobomb is it possible to read_from_map(p1,p2) and then load set_data() and then alter the emin and emax while preserving the data?
00:23 jordan4ibanez Can I modify tool defs while the game is running?

00:33 Sokomine Taoki: that's not very diffrent from mg_villages. you could just feed it your list of structures
00:35 Jousway joined #minetest
00:35 Sokomine Taoki: are you able to produce a table which contains a list of all structures your town will consist of, complete with start position and orientation and type of building?

00:44 nolsen For some reason, static_spawn won't work

01:12 MinetestBot [git] paramat -> minetest/minetest: Biome API: Enable biome generation to lower world limit 38482d2 http://git.io/vLUJG (2015-06-15T02:07:38+01:00)
01:14 Taoki Sokomine: I am, that's how it currently works
01:18 Sokomine Taoki: ok. where is that list generated? which format does it have?
01:19 Taoki Sokomine: From on_generated. The format is a table of sub-tables of the type: {"file.mts", position, scale, rotation}
01:20 nolsen Can anyone help me? static_spawnpoint won't work.
01:22 Taoki Sorry, I'm not familiar with that :(
01:23 Sokomine ah, that sounds fine
01:23 Sokomine nolsen: perhaps you've got a mod that interprets it diffrently?
01:23 Sokomine Taoki: what does "scale" mean?
01:24 nolsen Sokomine: nope.
01:24 nolsen Because it never done this before.
01:24 Taoki Ah... I think it's the starting and ending point. My code was built that way
01:24 Taoki Need to go in a minute tho
01:25 Sokomine Taoki: can you export that list? make it available? i'd love to spawn your towns with my code
01:25 Sokomine which ought to work, providing a bit of interfacing takes place
01:26 Taoki Sokomine: The functions that generate towns and roads are located in their own files. Theoretically you can just include them and easily use the two functions :)
01:27 Sokomine got any image uploading platform at hand?
01:28 Sokomine wait a minute, please...
01:28 Sokomine uploading an image
01:29 Taoki ok.
01:29 Sokomine Taoki: see http://postimg.org/image/geelswu1p/full/    of course that "town" is cut off. that's due to there beeing a limit for village checks
01:30 Taoki You can find the code here BTW: https://github.com/MirceaKitsune/minetest_mods_structures/tree/distributed_mapgen
01:30 Sokomine the village is just larger than the range the function checks for...
01:30 Taoki Sokomine: Very nice! I like how that looks
01:30 Sokomine and how do you spawn your towns? i've downloaded your code already but didn't get a town
01:31 Sokomine Taoki: that's just a tiny tweaking of mg_villages. basicly, i let the first village be of type "taoki" (yes, a village type is named after you :-)) and made it 200 nodes in radius
01:31 Sokomine the trouble with that is that it's tricky to get that much land loaded all at once
01:31 Taoki Fly around till it eventually happens.
01:31 Taoki Time to go now, night
01:31 Sokomine sleep well

06:40 RealBadAngel technomancy, im developing rather heavy gfx effects with 4gb of ram
06:42 technomancy RealBadAngel: oh yeah, it runs fine on 2GB too; I'm wondering about 1 and under
06:42 RealBadAngel depends on texture packs mainly
06:43 technomancy RealBadAngel: makes sense
06:43 RealBadAngel dreambuilder with hdx can pump it up to 14-15 gb
06:43 technomancy RealBadAngel: at least for running the client alone
06:44 RealBadAngel mt game with 256x texture pack and parallax + bumpmapping runs here fine, 40-60fps
06:44 RealBadAngel depending on how many leaves around
06:45 technomancy anyone tried it on half a gig?
06:52 Haudegen joined #minetest
07:07 technomancy everyone is speechless at my outrageous suggestion; I see how it is =)
07:08 RealBadAngel 512mb? oh cmon, ram is cheap nowadays
07:08 Trustable joined #minetest
07:09 RealBadAngel do you expect mt to run on watches? there was a vid on that
07:09 technomancy I'm working on setting up a lab for teaching kids, and I'm working with donated equipment. not sure this mobo will hold more.
07:09 technomancy if it does, it'll be some ancient form factor that's a huge pain to track down =\
07:10 RealBadAngel if you would like to set up a box with 0,5gb of ram you will have to search lotsa of trash cans
07:10 RealBadAngel because you wont find neihter ram modules of such size or mobos to support them
07:11 RealBadAngel or youre planning to open a museum, that could be another story
07:11 RealBadAngel but why involve mt in that? ;)
07:11 technomancy very funny. =) anyway, I live in rural thailand, so I understand it's like a different world to most people.
07:16 CWz joined #minetest
07:20 RealBadAngel technomancy, when you will use minimal settings, default textures mt wont need that much

07:22 technomancy cool. I need to figure out the OS first since it's too old to boot over USB, but hopefully I can get it all sorted.
07:26 technomancy how do you fake out a rightclick? I see there's a way once you have an ObjectRef, (http://dev.minetest.net/ObjectRef_methods) but I only have a pos
07:39 technomancy hm; that probably doesn't work on nodes

09:15 Trustable joined #minetest
09:18 technomancy is there a way to fake a rightclick on a node such that it opens a formspec with the proper callbacks? minetest.show_formspec doesn't trigger the on_receive_fields callback correctly
09:18 Trustable joined #minetest
09:18 kilbith what do you mean by "doesn't trigger correctly" ?
09:19 kilbith it's kind of slow because it's server-side step, yeah

09:59 technomancy kilbith: sorry, I mean that it triggers a different callback from the one I want
09:59 technomancy it triggers a player-specific callback instead of the node-specific callback
10:00 technomancy I would rather not use `register_on_player_receive_fields`
10:01 technomancy but it seems like there is no way to use the one I want
10:02 air does minetest.get_player_by_name() return nil if player is not connected to server?
10:04 air technomancy: you can store the formspec in the metadata, then it calls on_receive_fields
10:05 technomancy air: I know
10:05 technomancy air: I want to trigger the formspec programmatically
10:05 technomancy I want to know if there's a way to do this that will work with the callbacks I've already written
10:05 air I just spent the last hour figuring that out, had to use the method your don't want to use
10:05 technomancy OK, so there is no way around registering redundant callbacks
10:06 technomancy good to know
10:06 air could be, but I didn't find them
10:06 technomancy also: daaaaamn it would be nice if this were documented =(
10:06 air what is wrong with the register_on_player_receive_fields, besides located outside the register_node?
10:06 technomancy overall my experience with minetest has been extremely positive, but formspecs are the one place where everything is just a complete mess =\
10:07 technomancy air: it's just redundant. I don't like having to do the same thing two different ways.
10:07 air agreed
10:08 technomancy formspecs: http://p.hagelb.org/chair.gif
10:09 kilbith PR welcome if you don't like it
10:10 technomancy well I don't dislike it enough to learn C++ =)
10:12 kilbith there was a PR that made the formspec in table form instead of string
10:12 technomancy TBH that was a compliment; most software I use has many more things to complain about!
10:12 technomancy kilbith: afaict it didn't change the underlying mechanism, just the declaration syntax
10:13 kilbith ofc but that'd be an improvement
10:13 technomancy the syntax is annoying but easy to work around; the underlying limitations are much more troublesome
10:13 kilbith also tables are faster than strings
10:14 technomancy the current system is enough of a mess that personally I don't think it's worth spending more time improving; it needs to be nuked from orbit and started from scratch
10:14 technomancy not that I'm telling other people what to spend their time on

12:32 Taoki Hi. I noticed there is a way to use minetest.get_perlin and get2d / get3d to read it. Isn't there also a minetest.set_perlin? So the perlin noise can be modified in an area that hasn't generated yet, to influence the results it will give when it does generate
12:41 Taoki If not, could someone please explain me how I can use perlin:get2d to determine the average height of an area? That's kinda what I would like to do.
12:41 Taoki Like basically, I give it an area defined by two corners. In that area, I need to know what is the lowest node and what is the highest node. From what the mapgen will generate of course, decorations not included.
12:54 Taoki Apparently the get_perlin function wants some noise parameters. But I need it to return the exact noise of the world, not generate some random perlin map
12:56 air for your own custom noise map, not the one used to gen the world
12:58 Taoki I need the perlin map to know the average height of an area, before it is generated
12:58 Taoki So I need the exact perlin map of the world
12:59 Taoki Apparently however, I don't get any complaints if I use get_perlin_map() without any parameters. So I assume this does what I want?
12:59 air probably not
13:00 air it most likely just uses default values for the function
13:01 Taoki Ok. How do I get the world perlin noise then?
13:01 air and a single perlin map isn't used to generate the terrain
13:01 air there are usually many maps to carve it
13:01 Taoki I need the main terrain map
13:03 Taoki Like the one that generates basic hills, caves ignored
13:12 Haudegen joined #minetest
13:55 Taoki Ok. How do I get the scale, offset, spread, persist and octaves of the default mapgens (v6 / v7 / etc)? I have the seed, but I need to know these as well to generate the proper perlin map.
13:55 Taoki Any thoughts?

14:00 Amaz minetest.get_mapgen_params? (Almost entirely random, probably not what you're looking for...)
14:01 Amaz (By almost entirely random, I mean my posting of it, not the function itself ;))
14:01 Taoki Thanks, will take a look :)
14:02 Taoki Looking at it in the API. Not sure if it contains all the info for perlin map
14:05 Amaz Yeah... I suppose you've looked at minetest.get_perlin?
14:05 Amaz That seems to be a hopeful one.
14:05 Taoki Yeah... but it requires those parameters for some weird reason, nstead of just using the mapgen's
14:05 Amaz Ah

15:15 * DusXMT never really got the point of public mc/mt servers, personally
15:16 nolsen So you can play with other people?
15:16 nolsen And hope those "Other people" are not assholes, or little kids.
15:16 nolsen That's pretty much why I stay away from MC servers.
15:16 nolsen Unless I host my own.
15:17 nolsen I'm a dictator on my MC/MT servers. :D

18:47 nolsen Does anyone know a better weather mod that doesn't eat all your CPU?
18:47 nolsen not snowdrift, because snowdift sucks.
18:47 VanessaE not really, because particles currently suck
18:48 VanessaE (there is work going off and on to make them better, though)
18:48 VanessaE and besides, a weather mod would need client-side scripting
18:48 VanessaE (also coming some day)
18:50 nolsen Perhaps I could just have my max player limit to 10?
18:50 nolsen Which already is.
18:54 Taoki God... Lua suffers from some insane issues. I am trying to get a value from a table... and it returns me a value from another table x_x
18:54 Taoki Something that's virtually impossible
18:58 VanessaE taoki: pass-by-reference issue maybe?
19:00 Haudegen joined #minetest
19:01 Taoki VanessaE: Two tables are virtually being combined... without anyone issuing such a command.
19:01 VanessaE odd
19:01 Taoki yes. Must be a high level corruption somewhere in the code
19:02 CraigyDavi Hey, anyone know if using LevelDB reduces map file size?
19:02 VanessaE CraigyDavi: yes, by around 25 percent or so
19:03 VanessaE (or more)
19:03 CraigyDavi Oh cool, any other optimizations I can do to make it smaller on LevelDB?
19:03 VanessaE this is because leveldb employs a lightweight compression algo (but configured for speed, rather than size).
19:03 CraigyDavi sqlite can do VACCUUM iirc
19:03 VanessaE not sure really
19:04 CraigyDavi I see, I might try out leveldb sometime
19:04 OldCoder joined #minetest
19:07 Taoki It seems the table gets corrupted later, not right after it is created
19:12 nolsen O.O I have 121 mods loaded on my server: http://pastie.org/private/obnju782lzlbwoezvcomq
19:12 Sokomine hm, most of the time it's an error in the code if something goes wrong. it's very difficult to see one's own errors in that regard. a language like lua doesn't make it easy :-(

19:30 Teckla Someone here invited me to their server
19:30 Teckla My daughter and I promptly fell into a pit from which we could not escape
19:30 Teckla Now we have nightmares about grues
19:31 Teckla Minetests causes PTSD
19:31 Sokomine Teckla: servers are supposed to have a /spawn command. type that in chat. if it doesn't work, tell the server owner to install a /spawn command
19:31 Calinou this is why it comes without warranty :)
19:31 Sokomine Teckla: there's usually also /sethome and /home. very useful commands
19:32 Sokomine Calinou: what, no warranty?
19:32 Teckla Sokomine: oh oh thanx  :)
19:32 Teckla I did not know about /spawn, I failed to rtfm  :(
19:32 * Sokomine stares at a cobble block that is partially defective!
19:33 Sokomine Teckla: it's sometimes written on signs around spawn. but not always. the server owner might be inexperienced and not even have a spawn command installed
19:33 * Sokomine complains to Calinou about that cobble block that turned out to be less durable than expected
19:35 Calinou I wish there was /spawn by default
19:35 Sokomine Calinou: good idea
19:36 Sokomine i'm afraid many many first-built-houses get lost after players die for the first time...
19:36 Sokomine perhaps they could find their way back if there'd be a spwan command
19:37 Taoki Found out the cause. Apparently, if I insert table1 into table3, then do a loop through each entry in table2 and also insert that in table3, table2 gets inserted into table1
19:37 Taoki Lua has a major bug somewhere
19:38 Taoki http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=FPQ5i57t
19:38 Taoki If someone wants to report that bug to Lua, feel free to. Too busy tonight
19:42 Sokomine Taoki: and if you use schematics[ #schematics+1 ] = road  ?
19:42 Taoki Thinking of using that, trying it now
19:42 est31 Taoki, can you provide a minimal example that works without minetest?
19:43 Taoki Perhaps another time, busy for tonight

20:50 Taoki It seems like minetest.get_mapgen_object should work, but I have no idea what the name of the object is

23:38 paramat Taoki "So the perlin noise can be modified in an area that hasn't generated yet" not possible
23:41 paramat to know terrain before it generates you need to use the basic terrain noiseparams in .conf.example and recreate mapgen in lua. use perlinmaps otherwise it will be very slow
23:42 paramat see my mod 'pathv6alt' it partially does this to get a smoothed surface that approximates v6 terrain
23:43 paramat such a surface could be used for a city groundlevel because it never exceeds a certain gradient, it's always 'drivable'

23:48 paramat to know biome in mgv6 use the noiseparams and recreate this in lua: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/src/mapgen_v6.cpp#L412
23:52 paramat Taoki ^
23:53 Taoki paramat: Yep. My mod now allows syncing the structure perlin map with that of the mapgen. Manually of course, you must define the same perlin noiseparms for the city as the biome it spawns in
23:53 Taoki Should work tho
23:55 paramat to recreate basic v6 terrain you need terrain base, terrain higher, steepness, height select
23:57 paramat although that could be simplified for a rough terrain level
