Time Nick Message 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? 01:33 cimbakahn This is in my single player world. 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? 01:44 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 02:08 cimbakahn Could it be called "default:dirt_with_grass_footsteps" ? 02:50 cimbakahn Are you sure i don't have to just rename default_grass_footsteps.png to dirt_with_grass_footsteps.png ? 03:00 swift110-phone Hey all 03:31 cimbakahn Thank you paramat! I believe i have figured it out and the errors are gone. 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 .

I have to get up in 6 hrs, so I'm going /away :) 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) 08:33 JamesTait Good morning all; happy Tuesday, and happy Physical Therapy Day! 😃 08:36 waressearcher2 isn't today a labour day ? 08:44 * JamesTait labours every day. 09:25 rubenwardyy spam: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=190361#p190361 09:58 waressearcher2 are there any statistic how many people actively developed minetest and how much lines of code added per month and all that kind of statistics ? 10:48 gorilla Hi I recently joined VanessaE's server and was wondering whhere I can find papyrus? 11:20 RealBadAngel waressearcher2, such stats are aviable on github i think 11:51 gorilla why do people remove the trunks of trees but leave the top block?

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 17:47 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?
