04:35	nolsen	Welp, My place got damaged by the sons of satan that roams the internet, trolling.
04:36		ajaypay joined #minetest
04:36	nolsen	Anyone who get in their path will get hear or feel the biggest rage they have ever heard of felt.
04:36	nolsen	Beware of them!
04:36	nolsen	Expect them!
04:36	ajaypay	wha?
04:36	nolsen	And watch out for the MLG ones, they think they are the king of quicksc0ping nonsense.
04:37	ajaypay	griefers path?
04:37	ajaypay	oh no
04:38	nolsen	I think someone needs to write a new mod, where instead of banning/jailing griefers, troll them.
04:39	ajaypay	how can the take my MLG(minegeld notes???)
04:39	nolsen	I love trolling little kids, and watch them rage.
04:39	nolsen	ajaypay: That's not what MLG stands for.
04:39	nolsen	MLG = Massive League Gaming, or Men lacking Girlfriends.
04:39	ajaypay	what is it?
04:40	ajaypay	oh um ok?
04:40	nolsen	I always wanted to find a little kid that does MLG nonsense and troll the hell out of it.
04:40	ajaypay	was the last one a joke?
04:40	nolsen	Sorta.
04:40	nolsen	MLG does stand for Massive League Gaming
04:41	nolsen	but Men lacking Girlfriends part is true.
04:41	nolsen	Because anyone who isin MLG is lacking a girlfriend :P
04:41	ajaypay	yeah
04:41	ajaypay	whait what?
04:42	nolsen	I need to get on CoD one day, and find an MLG kid, and troll it out, and grab some snacks and enjoy the music (which is rage).
04:42	ajaypay	dont need a girlfriend,never had one
04:43	nolsen	ajaypay: Perhaps you need to use your brain a bit more and stop asking what? what? what?
04:43	nolsen	I one time ban a kid who kept saying how on minecraft.
04:44	nolsen	He probably how'd at the ban screen.

04:46	nolsen	Welp, time for me to go now.
04:47	ajaypay	welp?more like burnt up guy in his bed trying to go to sleep.

06:31	bobomb	is there a way to force flush the map each time you start a map in singleplayer mode so that you can develop mapgen mods without starting a new game each time?
06:32	VanessaE	just rm map.sqlite or map.db
06:32	VanessaE	put it in a script - minetest ; rm mapfile

06:48	hoodedice	it is?

07:20	VanessaE	show him my nixie tubes mod :)
07:20	VanessaE	(it works with LuaC's + Digilines)
07:22	technomancy	will have to check that out
07:23	technomancy	is there a way to mass-program luacontrollers?
07:23	VanessaE	not really
07:23	VanessaE	just copy&paste
07:26	technomancy	could really use an I/O expander =)

07:28	VanessaE	this for example
07:28	VanessaE	that LuaC is sending messages to each of the tubes shown there, by using a different "channel" (like a device address) for each one.

08:36	VanessaE	this is 43.0.2357.81 as included in xubuntu.
08:36	VanessaE	turns out the dev who maintains this package disabled gl accel.
08:36	VanessaE	something about it being the main cause of desktop crashes in X or some such
08:36	hoodedice	hehe too bad VanessaE, working in default browser included in xubuntu =P
08:37	VanessaE	hoodedice: it usually works fine for me. this is new in *ubuntu 15.04
08:37	hoodedice	things breaking in a new ubuntu release is new? That's new to me

16:13	rubenwardy	It's interesting. It looks like Terraria, but you build castles and do PvP fighting. Most of the emphasis is on PvP fighting though; singleplayer is boring (there are no attackers)

17:06	CWz	what would be a good way to make a mod that prevents player from digging those annoying vertical 1x1 shafts
17:09	Jordach	/ban?
17:14	rubenwardy	You use /rollback_check to see who did it
17:15	rubenwardy	You could write a mod yourself
17:15	rubenwardy	Just check on place if there are more than 4 in a stack below the player, if so then delete
17:15	rubenwardy	Would involve checking 4 * 9 blocks, and then removing 4.
17:16	rubenwardy	40 node get / sets. Might be an idea to use LVM

18:23	Taoki	Can anyone help me out a bit with this code please? https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=12659&p=182664#p182663 The person who posted the example I'm following isn't around it seems, and I'm trying to implement it, but don't understand the calculations
18:23	Taoki	(FOV for mobs basically)
18:25		ElectronLibre_ joined #minetest
18:28	Taoki	For one thing, I do not get how the dotproduct holds any information about angle and direction. It only seems to represent distance
18:39	nore	Taoki, the dot product of two vectors is equal to the product of their lengths and of the cosine of the angle between them
18:39	nore	so you can get that angle too
18:40	nore	(if you know their lengths)
18:40	Taoki	Still can't understand, trying for an hour to. What exactly do 'yaw2vec' and 'angle' return and represent in that example?
18:40	* nore	looks
18:40	Taoki	I get strange numbers I can't fully correlate
18:41	Taoki	Thanks :)
18:41	nore	yaw2vec takes the yaw of the entity, and returns an unit vector of the direction that entity is looking at
18:42	nore	and angle takes 2 vectors, and returns the angle between them (the inverse cosine of their dot product divided by their lengths)
18:43	Taoki	Ah... so yaw2vec is basically a virtual point on the 2D / 3D plane which indicates the direction?
18:43	nore	yes
18:43	nore	the point will look in a cone
18:44	nore	if you want to ignore the vertical angle, just set y to 0 in the calculations
18:44	Taoki	ok. As for angle, I noticed that it seems to depend on distance only. Even if I'm behind or in front of the mob, it's smaller or larger the closer or further I am. So I'm not sure how I get any useful info from it.
18:44	nore	(I mean, in the vector you give to it)
18:44	Taoki	It's not eg: Negative behind, positive in front
18:45	nore	the dot product should be
18:45	Taoki	Ah. I put a debug print, and it's not
18:46	nore	are you sure it is the dot product? another issue may also be that you mob is not looking in the expected direction
18:47		TenPlus1 joined #minetest
18:47	TenPlus1	hi folks
18:47	Taoki	Basically, the mob stands still. I go two blocks in front of it, the value is somewhere about 0.5. Then I go two blocks left, right, or behind the mob... without it moving. I still get the same value.
18:47	Taoki	hi
18:47	nore	hi
18:47	nore	hm...
18:47	Taoki	(left / right / back of the mob)
18:47	Taoki	So it only seems to represent distance, regardless of direction
18:48	nore	ah, I know
18:48	TenPlus1	Q. is there a way to have entities display within a certain range only ?
18:48	TenPlus1	say if player is within 10 blocks ???
18:48	nore	it's angle(yaw2vec(yaw, pitch), vector.subtract(pos1, pos2)) you want
18:48	Taoki	TenPlus1: Have the entity scan for players periodically, in a distance of 10. Not per player however
18:49	nore	TenPlus1: the closest I have for that is code that simulates entities in Lua and shows them only if a player in nearby
18:49		Shackra joined #minetest
18:49	nore	(used in pipeworks to get "entities" in unloaded blocks)
18:50	TenPlus1	will check pipeworks mod to see... so many problems with having too many entities in one active area... gotta limit it somehow
18:50	Taoki	Thanks, I will try that
18:50	nore	TenPlus1: it still simulates them
18:50	nore	and those entities need to be registered and created with special calls too
18:51	TenPlus1	sounds like a lot of work for a sign/itemframe
18:51	nore	ah, for that, you could have the node to check
18:51	nore	so much easier :)
18:51	TenPlus1	how u mean?
18:51	nore	put an abm in node
18:51	nore	that check if a player is nearby
18:51	TenPlus1	oh right... if player close by add item, if not remove it
18:51	Taoki	nore: That's close! However, if I stand in front of the mob or behind it, the value is 90* in both cases
18:52	nore	Taoki: then the mod is looking at 90Â° angle
18:52	nore	so one side will be 0 and the other 180
18:52	nore	you need to change yaw2vec by setting x -> z, and z -> -x
18:53	nore	should work
18:53	TenPlus1	is anyone experiencing the "std::bad_alloc" errors on servers ?
18:53		greenman_ joined #minetest
18:53	nore	TenPlus1: I don't remember experiencing it
18:54	Taoki	What does -> do, never used that or seen it in other mods
18:54	nore	however, I have often at startup a crash with "double free or corruption" :/
18:54	nore	that's not syntax
18:54	nore	I just meant: replace x by z in yaw2vec
18:55	Taoki	Oh, sorry... will try that
18:55	nore	and z = ... by x = -...
18:55	TenPlus1	the Xanadu map has grown over 60gb in size and from time to time it'll read a section of map with an error and crash server with "std::bad_alloc" error
18:55	TenPlus1	was hoping someone else may have a solution by now
18:56	nore	hm... maybe ask on -dev, I don't know the origin of the bug
18:56	nore	but I've seen a few comments about it IIRC
18:56	TenPlus1	lol, done that already... no answer as yet...
18:57	TenPlus1	the devs are working hard on something tho
18:57	Taoki	I seem to have 50* in front and 130* when behind. This might be it
18:57		phantombeta joined #minetest
18:57	nore	ok, then you just have one final change to do if you want to ignore pitch
18:57	nore	instead of using vector.subtract(pos1, pos2), use that vector with a 0 y coordinate
18:57	Taoki	Ah, it seems to depend on where the mob looks as well
18:58	Taoki	That part is ok, I want pitch as a parameter
18:58	nore	ok :)
18:58	TenPlus1	thanks nore, cya folks
18:58	nore	^ that's what the yaw2vec function is for :)
18:58	Taoki	What I mean is: If the mob looks toward one direction and I stand in front of it, I get one result. Then if the mob looks in another and I stand in front of it, I get another result
18:58	Taoki	Ah, so it's intentional
18:59	nore	ehm, what?
18:59	Taoki	I was expecting it to be relative, and like always get 50* when I'm standing in front of the mob
18:59	Taoki	No matter where the mob looks toward
18:59	nore	it should always be about the same (relative to 90Â°) when you are in front
18:59	nore	of the mob
18:59	Taoki	Ah. Doesn't seem to
18:59	nore	...
18:59	nore	are you sure you use the yaw of the mob?
19:00	Taoki	Yeah. I noticed that now I get 50* when behing the mob instead
19:00	nore	ah, there is a sign problem then
19:00	nore	try to put a "-" before the x coordinate
19:00	nore	(in yaw2vec)
19:01	Taoki	Aha... the problem is that it reverses
19:01	Taoki	If the mob's yaw goes past a certain point, I stop getting 50* in front of it and get 50* when back from it
19:01	Taoki	And vice versa with 130*
19:01	nore	yeah, that looks like a sign problem
19:01	Taoki	I'll try that
19:03	Taoki	x = -math.sin(yaw) * math.cos(pitch), ... ?
19:03	nore	yep
19:04	Taoki	Thanks, that solved it! I get 125* in front of the mob all the time now.
19:04	nore	good :)
19:05	Taoki	Need to figure out what exactly to check however, to tell if I'm within the FOV.
19:05	nore	you need to check 180 - angle <= fov
19:06	Taoki	Aha
19:06	Taoki	Yeah, I think I see now
19:06	nore	(you should set the fov to 80-85 or so)
19:06		CraigyDavi joined #minetest
19:08	Taoki	I wonder why I get a weird value like 125* Instead of 0* or 90* or 45*
19:08	Taoki	When right in front of the mob
19:08	Taoki	Also angle changes a lot with distance, even if I'm still right in front and parallel
19:09	Taoki	So if I move toward or away from the mob, while facing it parallel, the angle increases and decreases a lot
19:09	Taoki	From 124* to 160* in 3 nodes
19:10		CraigyDavi joined #minetest
19:11	Taoki	Huh... but on the sides of the mob this doesn't happen. And I get 90* on each side.
19:12	Taoki	Even if I step away or toward the mob, if I stay aligned with its side the angle remains 90. I could rotate it back, but since it's 90 on both sides that would re-add the issue of front and back being difficult to distinguish.

19:26	CoolantDragon	Thanks
19:30	nore	<Taoki> So if I move toward or away from the mob, while facing it parallel, the angle increases and decreases a lot <-- that's the pitch thing
19:31	nore	shouldn't happen if you ignore pitch by setting all y coordinates to 0
19:31	Taoki	nore: Pitch is already 0. So I'm walking along the axis if the cone.
19:31	nore	yes, but you need to set the y coordinate of the vector subtraction to 0 too
19:31	Taoki	nore: But that is solved if I replace sin with cos for x and z again. Problem is that this re-introduces not being able to tell between front and back again
19:33	nore	does setting it to 0 work better?
19:33	Taoki	Pitch is 0 already.
19:34	Taoki	If I fly up or down, the value barely changes by any amount though. So not sure if pitch fully works anyway
19:35	Taoki	I assume 0 is fully horizontal... should be
19:39	nore	^ it is
19:39	nore	did you try flying up & down very close to the mob?
19:40	Taoki	Both closer and a bit further. Pitch doesn't seem to do much though
19:40	Taoki	Doesn't have the same influence as horizontal movement by far, just a few decimals
19:40	Taoki	So something must be wrong
19:41	Taoki	http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=nZsMSxpp This is what I have now
19:42	Taoki	^ works perfectly when it comes to yaw, and returns 0 when standing right in front of the mob's face (at any distance). But it also does the same when behind the mob, plus pitch doesn't seem to do enough
19:43	nore	hm...
19:43	nore	try swapping x and z again :) (and negate one of them)
19:45	Taoki	nore: Didn't work too well. If I swap sin and cos between x and z, the cone starts ranging between the mob's sides, which is incorrect
19:46	nore	hm... it's quite strange that 0 is in front though
19:46	nore	it should be closer to 90/-90 with what I see from your code
19:46	Taoki	Normally, 90 is in front. I did 90 - calculation to undo that
19:46	Taoki	Which is indeed strange

20:02	Taoki	Obviously, when pitch is 0, x and z are multiplied with 1, and y remains 0 (I think). So it's even more strange that this happens and pitch is ignored, since it means a virtual cone isn't being created.
20:02	Taoki	Rather a flat cone
20:02	Taoki	**a 3D cone

20:14	est31	tranquilliam, which machine?
20:18	Taoki	Yeah, I'll probably have to leave pitch out because it simply won't work :(

20:38	Taoki	TheWild: pos is the position of the mob, vec is the position of the target?
20:39	Taoki	Sorry, that's commented above
20:39	* Taoki	is pretty tired for some reason this night
20:40		Haudegen joined #minetest
20:43	Taoki	FYI: The problem might be with the yaw2vec, used to determine the vector direction. Namely all the sin and cos combinations which are very difficult to get right and test
20:46	Taoki	TheWild: The part you pastebinned works fine. Sadly, it replaces the other implementation which worked fine as well. The problem is yaw2vec, and the sin / cos combinations there
20:46	* TheWild	scratches on paper
20:47	Taoki	TheWild: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=S0SK0dBZ This is the version I got working best. It almost works but has two problems: 1 - If you stand behind or in front of the mob, it returns the same thing (90*). 2 - If pitch is a value other than 0, everything breaks... pitch is not being calculated properly.
20:49	TheWild	the same I wrote on paper... but...
20:50	Taoki	The normal result would be something like: If you're standing right in front of the mob (parallel to its face), the result should be 0. If from there you go a little to the left, the result should decrease (to something like -10), whereas if you go the same amount to the right it should increase (+10). Doesn't matter which is which of course... I will use math.abs anway since I only care for val
20:50	Taoki	However, pitch should also change the aim of the cone in height. So if you go above or below the mob, the angle difference increases on top of that. Still, going left and right should increase or decrease around the same vertical 0 the same way, if that makes sense.
20:51	TheWild	quick testing shows that Minetest assumes 0Â° being toward z positive
20:51	Taoki	Also, if you are right behing the mob, you should normally get an angle like 360. Straight to the left or right should be -180 and 180*
20:51	TheWild	and 90Â° toward z negative
20:52	Taoki	Ah
20:53	TheWild	try this: return {x = -math.sin(yaw) * math.cos(pitch), y = math.sin(pitch), z = math.cos(yaw) * math.cos(pitch)}
20:53	Taoki	I think I did, but will try it again
20:54	TheWild	<TheWild> and 90Â° toward z negative <- I meant: toward x negative

21:06	TheWild	I found that yaw is flawed - it is not revelant to what is displayed on F5
21:07		blaise joined #minetest
21:08	Taoki	Ah. Might be... that is a pretty bad thing on the code side IMO
21:10	TheWild	whew... this one should be finally correct:
21:10	TheWild	return {x = math.cos(yaw) * math.cos(pitch), y = math.sin(pitch), z = math.sin(yaw) * math.cos(pitch)}
21:12	TheWild	hey, anyone read that? Player's yaw is not revelant to what is displayed on debug screen. When you turn to yaw=270, player:get_look_yaw() produces ~6.28, which is definitely PI/2
21:13	TheWild	s**t, I wrote PI/2?
21:13	TheWild	O_o
21:13	Taoki	Will try it as well
21:13	TheWild	I meant 2*PI
21:14	Taoki	TheWild: Works like my "best working example" I mentioned before, so it still has the two issues: Pitch is ignored, and I get 90* both in front of and behind the mob (I cannot separate the two)
21:16	TheWild	which function produces 90Â°?
21:18	Taoki	TheWild: The last one you linked. With the other hald from that pastebin you posted
21:18	Taoki	[00:07:13] <TheWild> return {x = math.cos(yaw) * math.cos(pitch), y = math.sin(pitch), z = math.sin(yaw) * math.cos(pitch)}
21:19	TheWild	ummm... you are passing of course mob looking vector, don't you?
21:20	Taoki	TheWild: self.object:get_yaw()
21:20	Taoki	pitch is 0, I manually set it to 45* only to test
21:21		Jordach joined #minetest
21:24	TheWild	the function I posted on pastebin produces only positive values
21:24	TheWild	you want to distinguish left and right?
21:25	TheWild	something on front of mob should be near 0Â°, while something behind should be near 180Â°
21:28	Taoki	TheWild: When standing right in front of the mob, the angle should be 0. If standing a little to the left or right, it should be -something or +something*.
21:28	TheWild	+something
21:28	Taoki	The one you posted does that, but both for the front and back. Also pitch doesn't seem to be accounted.
21:31	TheWild	that's weird.
21:32	TheWild	right now I'm testing my own yaw and pitch. yaw2vec works fine
21:32	TheWild	my function also
21:33	TheWild	check your yaw2vec once more. It should not have any '-' in it.
21:35	Taoki	I'm using the last one you pasted
21:35	Taoki	[00:07:13] <TheWild> return {x = math.cos(yaw) * math.cos(pitch), y = math.sin(pitch), z = math.sin(yaw) * math.cos(pitch)}

21:44	TheWild	return {x = -math.sin(yaw) * math.cos(pitch), y = math.sin(pitch), z = math.cos(yaw) * math.cos(pitch)}
21:44	Taoki	No worries, and sure.
21:44	Taoki	Will test it in a few minutes
21:45	TheWild	noone wants to hear my grumbling about bugs
21:48	Taoki	TheWild: That seems to only make the cone sideways, same issues apply
21:51	TheWild	ummm... hey, wait...

21:52	TheWild	great! Produces nil for me
