07:29 cheapie     Huh, so I have some mesecons SR latches made from 2 NAND gates, and while they're usually fine, it seems that too short of a pulse on /S is making them sometimes oscillate...
07:29 cheapie     "Fun".
10:28 CWz         i wonder why "noobs" say there usernames in chat
14:16 germanuel24 Help I'm trying to compile minetest ona  server WITHOUT desktop...at the end of the compile process it said 2016-04-27 16:15:20: ERROR[Main]: Irrlicht: Error: Need running XServer to start Irrlicht Engine. 2016-04-27 16:15:20: ERROR[Main]: Irrlicht: Could not open display, set DISPLAY variable 2016-04-27 16:15:20: ERROR[Main]: Could not initialize game engine.
14:17 germanuel24 Will the game still work??
14:21 germanuel24 Oh i just saw the error is from minetest itself...so any way to run it without UI?
14:22 germanuel24 Never mind error disappeared after setting --server as option
14:26 sfan5       ideally you just build minetest without a client
14:26 LazyJ       germanuel24, when you compiled the MT engine did you make sure to have "-DBUILD_SERVER=1" as part of the CMake?
14:27 germanuel24 No..i just used the one-liner by Calinou
14:27 LazyJ       Ah.
14:27 sfan5       that compiles the client
14:27 germanuel24 Is that a problem?
14:28 LazyJ       I do not know about what setup script Calinou has.
14:28 germanuel24 cmake . -DENABLE_GETTEXT=1 -DENABLE_FREETYPE=1 -DENABLE_LEVELDB=1;
14:30 germanuel24 So will that be a problem that I used client instead of server?
14:30 sfan5       no it will also work
14:31 LazyJ       What is the advantage of compiling MT as a server vs as a client?
14:32 sfan5       you dont actually need to install irrlicht for the server
14:33 Asuran      it could get performancei mprovements
14:33 Asuran      so you should avoid using client server as server
14:34 Asuran      and use dedicated if possible
14:35 LazyJ       Might be helpful if the README.txt split the CMake options into Client, Server, Both, and explain things like Irrlicht not being needed on a server compile.
16:05 germanuel24 Everything works on the new server except generateImage() errors when someone joins... is there a conf setting that disables Errors in the chat?

16:13 dr4Ke       Hi folks. I have a question about the VoxelManip object. The lua api says that "A VoxelManip object can be created any time using either: VoxelManip([p1, p2]), or minetest.get_voxel_manip([p1, p2])" but it doesn't work for me. Always give me a nil.
16:14 dr4Ke       Is it actually possible to get a VoxelManip outside any callback function? ie: at the mod initialisation
16:14 sfan5       the world is probably not loaded at the mod init time
16:16 dr4Ke       so that would explain why i can't get a VoxelManip. Is there a way to execute a function of the mod once after the world has been created?
16:16 sfan5       minetest.after
16:19 dr4Ke       interresting. I'll try that, thanks.
16:22 germanuel24 I see a discussion about errors in chat...has such an option been implemented yet? To disable them?
16:23 est31       no germanuel24 there is no such option
16:24 germanuel24 Then what could cause a generateImage() error on one server while it works on another? permission issues maybe?
17:07 Telesight   Hello all .. what is the way to place screenshots in forumposts ?
17:07 kaadmy      Telesight: most people use forum attachments
17:09 Telesight   kaadmy; ok, do you know how large they might be?
17:09 kaadmy      i think the limit, if there is one, is pretty big
17:09 kaadmy      i've seen 1920x1080 screens on there
17:10 Telesight   Ok, mine are that size ....
17:11 Telesight   Let me try ...;-)
17:11 kaadmy      3 attachments max though iirc
17:13 Telesight   kaadmy: 413 Request Entity Too Large ;-(
17:14 Calinou     the nginx on server must be wrongly configured then
17:14 Calinou     too low client_max_body_size
17:14 Calinou     Telesight: try https://lut.im
19:22 dr4Ke       Is there a way to know the limits of the current world in each direction, from lua?
19:22 PilzAdam    there is a setting to limit mapgen; you could read that
19:24 dr4Ke       I know about "map_generation_limit" but the real limits of the world seems to be less than this number. For example, when set to 300, the world goes from -272 to 287. I'd like to get these values, or I'll calculate them if that's not possible.
20:11 sfan5       dr4Ke: what do you need those exact values for?
20:12 dr4Ke       I want to create a (possibly) very big structure, and I want it to be inside the world. I have a formula to calculate these limits now.
20:12 dr4Ke       This structure will be at a random place.
