01:22 lucas__ hi
01:31 cimbakahn I am confused.  I keep getting this error message twice in a row: Could not load image 'default_grass_footsteps.png' while building texture
01:31 cimbakahn Creating a dummy image for 'default_grass_footsteps.png'
01:31 cimbakahn I used catfish file search to see if it was on my computer.  I typed default_grass_footsteps.png and the results read that it is at /usr/share/minetest/games/minimal/mods/default/textures  I even went to the file manually, and it is there.
01:31 cimbakahn It seems to me that minetest doesn't see that file, but it is there.  Could it be that the file is in the wrong location?  Or is a minetest file in need of editing?

01:38 paramat minimal is a separate subgame. maybe you have a mod or subgame looking fir that texture? in mtgame 0.4.13 that node uses default_grass with an overlay texture default_footprint
01:39 paramat (for)
01:39 paramat so your mod/subgame needs it's tiles definition updating
01:41 cimbakahn Here is a screenshot of my mods ----> http://imgur.com/iNsqDwE
01:43 paramat not sure, search through the mod's node definitions, contact the author, and update the 'tiles' definition of 'grass with footsteps' to that in mtgame 0.4.13
01:43 cimbakahn paramat.  How do i do that?
01:43 Player_2 joined #minetest
01:44 cimbakahn ok.
01:45 paramat open the mod files in a text editor, edit and save. node definitions are usually in a file called 'nodes.lua'
01:46 paramat replace the definition with this (line 286) https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/blob/master/mods/default/nodes.lua#L286
01:50 cimbakahn ok.
01:50 cimbakahn Still looking.
01:57 paramat a mod may have it's own version of a 'grass with footsteps' node, so it's best to just replace the 'tiles = ' lines

03:48 midnight does anyone now how to install mods
03:50 midnight i've never played minetest on linux
03:57 midnight before
04:10 RealBadAngel put unzipped mods in your /mods
04:11 RealBadAngel then enable them ingame
04:12 swift110-phone Hmm
04:12 swift110-phone Do u need the internet to really play the game?
04:15 freelikegnu nope
04:16 swift110-phone Ok
04:16 swift110-phone Ill play it some tonight
04:16 swift110-phone Anyone play it on Windows
04:20 midnight were is /mods
04:21 DusXMT midnight: Depends on how you installed it, for a global installation, ~/.minetest/mods
04:22 DusXMT (where ~ is your home directory)
04:26 swift110-phone What specs do I need for the game?
04:29 midnight could i send a screen shot
04:30 swift110-phone Sure
04:36 midnight i found /.minetest but there is no mod folder
04:43 RealBadAngel then make that folder

04:45 chainsaw20 swift110-phone: I've played minetest on a four year old non-gaming desktop with integrated graphics, and it was playable :D, so not many.
04:46 swift110-phone Cool thanks chainsaw
04:46 chainsaw20 np
04:46 swift110-phone Ill try it on a core2duo
04:47 chainsaw20 If you press F5 while in-game, it will give you the FPS counter (You have to press it twice to turn it off, it's a 3-mode toggle, if you will
04:47 chainsaw20 )
04:49 swift110-phone Ok
04:49 swift110-phone Ive played before but all i did was walk around
04:50 swift110-phone Jump
04:50 swift110-phone I went to the top of the mountain and had no idea what to do next
04:52 chainsaw10 Sorry to send you this link again (IIRC I sent it to you a while ago?), but I'd suggest going thru this article here: http://wiki.minetest.net/How_to_build_your_first_house . It'll show you how crafting works.
04:53 chainsaw10 After that, I like to think of it as legos, you just build stuff.
04:54 chainsaw10 Anyway, good luck/have fun. I have to get up in 6 hrs, so I'm going /away :)
04:57 gau_veldt joined #minetest
04:59 OldCoder joined #minetest
05:00 swift110-phone Ok goodnight
05:00 gau_veldt anyone here familiar with the rendering code in minecraft/minetest et al?  specifically the algorithm used to determine what blocks in a chunk are to be triangulated to the GPU
05:01 gau_veldt a description or suitably annotated source would work as well (or at least what files to look for in minetest's code)
05:03 gau_veldt does it do something like raycast every screen pixel to find out the nearest non-air block surface?
05:04 gau_veldt then add triangles to a todo list in non-duplicating fashion?
05:05 gau_veldt and does such an algorithm go every frame or does it cache in some way (which I see failing any time the camera moves or rotates which is rather often)

17:39 Testman hi all
17:40 Krock hi there
17:42 Testman how are you doing today?
17:43 Testman is there a way to craft a master crafting guide on the lord of the test game?
17:43 Krock good, thanks.
17:44 Krock craft? would use much time, better get the unified_inventory or zeg's crafting guide
17:44 CraigyDavi joined #minetest
17:47 Sokomine Testman: yes, there is. afaik it takes all the other craft books to craft one. craft a book of "forbidden crafts" first
17:47 STHGOM ^
17:47 Testman ok,but it is on the lord of the test game,and so far i have not been able to craft it.
17:48 Testman ok how do i do that?
17:48 Sokomine Krock: the lott game has its own craft book mechanism. they come subdivided into normal crafts, cooking, brewing, potions, protection (armor) and...er...guess that was it
17:48 Sokomine have you crafted all the other books?
17:48 Krock Sokomine, quite unusual when you always work with one, huge dictionary
17:49 Testman i have all of those but the forbiden crafts book
17:49 Testman how do you make that one?
17:49 Sokomine Krock: yes, but it does fit to the game. lott is quite nice...comes with mobs (that even fight against monsters), some spawning structures and some nice nodes
17:50 Testman the server is especaily fun :D
17:51 Sokomine Testman: sourround a book of protection with gold ingots in your crafting grid. like a locked chest...only with gold ingots instead of wood and the book of protection instead of the steel ingot
17:52 Sokomine which one are you using?
17:53 Testman on the server my sisters cant make it
17:53 Testman yet though ill ask them to do it that way.
17:54 Testman Sokomine: "which one are you using" as in what?
17:57 Sokomine which server?
17:57 Sokomine oldcoder is running a fine lott server
17:57 Testman Yes that one!
17:58 Testman the oldcoder server is the server
17:59 Sokomine ah. seems you carry a diffrent name there? or are not online?
18:03 Testman well i havent been on there lately but my name is the same as here(i think)
18:04 STHGOM Testman, make all of the books you see crafts for in each one you make
18:04 Testman ok.
18:05 STHGOM you will need all of them to make a master book, anyway
18:06 Testman ok
18:07 Sokomine ah, ok
18:07 Sokomine when you join again, and havn't seen it, pay a visit to my dwarf city :-)
18:08 Testman yup
18:08 Testman my sister showed me it over her shoulder
18:08 Testman it looks pretty cool!
18:16 Testman Sokomine: are there any dimonds in the mine?
18:22 Testman okay thanks Sokomine ill tell my sisters.
18:22 Testman bye all
18:22 Testman :)

18:28 STHGOM how would one add a sleep() like command to a mesecon luacontroller
18:28 STHGOM ?
18:31 T4im interrupts: http://mesecons.net/luacontroller/
18:37 STHGOM this looks more like something to repeat
18:37 STHGOM not pause for a moment
18:38 est31 joined #minetest
18:39 STHGOM i am using digilines, and i want to make the signal one way by pushing the wire away from the controller then sending it along
18:40 STHGOM so port.a = true (new line) digiline_send (new line) port.a = false

18:58 T4im so you can use it to simulate a sleep
18:58 T4im its not beautiful, but sufficent
18:58 T4im sufficient*

23:28 sofar turn down gfx settings if it's not performing well
23:28 sofar lowering desktop resolution may help as well
