08:40 JamesTait       Good morning all!  Happy Tuesday, and happy Raspberry Cake Day! 😃
08:47 Krock           Yay, the PI day came
09:18 agaran          Good morning
12:54 hisforever      I just got a skin mod and enabled it. I don't see it in inventory, and no errore are showing?
12:55 ElectronLibre   Are you sure all dependencies of the mod are fulfilled?
12:56 ElectronLibre   If a dependency of your skin mod isn't enabled you will only see it in the logs, and it won't catch your gaze in the game
12:56 hisforever      humm how do I chack that?
12:59 ElectronLibre   hisforever: Try using /mods and see if your skin mod's name is in the output
13:00 hisforever      in configering on the left side under dependency its showing inventory_plus
13:01 yusf            then you need inventory_plus
14:20 Fixer           sorry for reconnects, crappy wiring, hope i fixed it at least for 80%
14:52 argent0         Hi, how can I see, quickly, if a mod is working. I cloned the 'moreblocks' mod into my ~/.minetest/mods folder, but i can't do "/giveme moreblocks:coalglass" for example
14:53 argent0         It doesn't show up in '/mods'
14:54 argent0         nevermind It works now. I had not confiugred it in the world
14:54 argent0         :p
14:54 Krock           did you enable it in your world?
14:54 Krock           ah
14:54 argent0         Krock: Just in time
16:02 mmmmhack        howdy
16:10 mmmmhack        anyone have tips for tracing lua code execution on minetest server?
16:12 thefamilygrog66 mmmmhack, if I'm unsure of a variable's value, I'll send a message to myself with it, while testing a mod. That's probably a bit more simplistic than what you're looking for, but it's helped me understand lua a bit more.
16:13 mmmmhack        k
16:14 mmmmhack        I've used a lua script, simple_debugger, to set breakpoints and step through lua code in minetest, but I'm trying to find a way to automaticaly step through the code and save that to a trace file or something.
16:14 thefamilygrog66 also, you can compile minetest in debugging mode, which gives a much more verbose log
16:14 thefamilygrog66 that sorta thing?
16:15 mmmmhack        yes, I have compiled and run debug mode a bunch. sometimes, I step through the C++ code in gdb, but it's very difficult to debug across the C++/Lua boundary that way
16:16 thefamilygrog66 ah, ok
16:16 mmmmhack        I'm thinking there might be functions in the minetest lua_api for tracing lua code execution, but haven't found it yet
16:17 mmmmhack        i'm too lazy to read all the source code :p
16:20 Krock           mmmmhack, http://www.lua.org/pil/23.2.html
16:20 Krock           but it doesn't work well in LuaJIT
16:22 mmmmhack        thx krock, that is a real simple trace function! I will try it in a non-jit build :)
16:22 Out`Of`Control  hi
16:22 mmmmhack        howdy
16:23 Krock           hi
16:24 thefamilygrog66 hello
16:25 LazyJ           Howdy grog ;)
16:26 Krock           Hi NotLazyAnymoreJ
16:26 Krock           tome to bring up some motivation
16:26 Krock           *time
16:36 Out`Of`Control  how do i create only snow bioms?
16:37 Megaf           LazyJ: heya
16:39 LazyJ           o/ Megaf ;)
16:39 Megaf           we will be building a new village on my server in a crazy topography land
16:39 Megaf           we are finishing the road to there nwo
16:39 LazyJ           Cool ;)
16:40 Megaf           any news from your server?
16:40 LazyJ           Much the same as before: quiet and killer lag.
16:41 LazyJ           Looking to move to Linode with the hopes that puts an end to the lag spikes.
17:12 argent0         How do I change player skin?
17:17 thefamilygrog66 argent0: you need a skins mod on your server (e.g. u_skins)
17:42 Calinou         sofar: https://github.com/minetest-mods/moreblocks/issues/50 -> what's your opinion on this?
17:42 Calinou         should we use semantic versioning or something on Minetest mods?
17:42 Calinou         I don't think mods are big enough to warrant this, but the trend these days seems to be to version everything...
17:43 sofar           Calinou: I usually just tag them "1", "2". .... etc.
17:43 sofar           that way they don't mean something specific
17:45 sofar           I'd just throw a quick tag on a commit that you think is OK
17:46 Calinou         for me, all commits are good ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
17:46 Calinou         I'd use semantic versioning in case compatibility is ever broken
17:46 Calinou         so, I'd probably tag v1.0.0
17:47 Calinou         (GitHub suggests "v" prefix for versions)
17:47 Calinou         sounds good?
17:54 yusf            Hpw do people manage subgame repos? I want to use git submodules but that doesn't store those actual files in my repo…
17:56 KaadmY          yusf: submodules can be cloned alongside the main repo
17:57 yusf            KaadmY: Yes, but just as long as the remote repo is online?
17:58 KaadmY          probably
17:58 KaadmY          if you just have a copy of the repo, it won't be updated with the repo in question
17:58 yusf            KaadmY: Are you using submodules yourself, or how do you pull updates from individual mod repos?
17:59 KaadmY          yusf: never used submodules before
17:59 KaadmY          but with 'git clone', there's an option to clone submodules
18:01 yusf            So for your subgames you manually download the mods and put them into subgame repo?
18:02 agaran          anyone can point to some simple example for luacontroler programming? I mean how to access port values etc..
18:02 KaadmY          yusf: dunno
18:02 KaadmY          if the mod is part of the subgame only, make it local
18:02 KaadmY          otherwise making it a submodule might be better
18:03 yusf            Actually I'm compiling a modpack to be applied on top of a public subgame, so mods come from all over the place. :)
18:04 Void7           agaran: http://mesecons.net/luacontroller/
18:04 agaran          thx
18:04 argent0         thefamilygrog66: I'm on it (skin-mod)
19:48 Krock           !seen #minetest-dev kwolekr
19:48 MinetestBot     Krock: Sorry, I haven't seen #minetest-dev around.
20:23 agaran          is there any known issue with pipeworks that it throws/reverses direction of objects when piping is too large (ie larger than blocks kept in memory) ?
20:25 hisforever      I'm in singleplayer mode and need to flaten a track of land. How should I go about it? I don't want to clear land 1 node at a time
20:25 BrandonReese    There are issues with lag where something in a pipe will reverse back to the correct position.
20:27 hisforever      I'm in singleplayer mode and need to flaten a track of land. How should I go about it? I don't want to clear land 1 node at a time
20:27 BrandonReese    If the item in a pipe hits a dead end I believe it will also reverse and go back the way it came
20:27 BrandonReese    hisforever, look into the worldedit mod
20:28 hisforever      ty BrandonReese
20:30 agaran          BrandonReese ah, makes sense, changed some params and now I get flooded with active block mod took longer..
20:32 BrandonReese    agaran if the server is busy with ABMs or other lua code entities on the client keep going with the same velocity then when everything on the server gets caught up the client gets the correct position and things jump to the correct position.
20:32 agaran          yup saw that in world.. seems I overdone with tweaking or too much pipes with flying stuff
20:41 KaadmY          anybody here aware of http://www.moddb.com/games/minetest?
20:41 KaadmY          latest version seems to be 0.3.x
21:20 hisforever      I have a section of land thats black how do I clear this up?
21:37 hisforever      Do I use // clear node to clear a selected area of objects?
21:38 sfan5           hisforever: no, you use //clearobjects for that
21:39 hisforever      ty stan5
21:41 hisforever      sfan5 I have black fog it looks like that how do I clear out black from land?
21:41 sfan5           screenshot?
21:41 hisforever      ok brb
21:43 hisforever      http://imgur.com/pGHcwQi there's the screen shot
21:46 sfan5           //fixlight might help with that
21:47 sfan5           make sure to select a region bigger than the black "fog"
21:47 hisforever      will do ty
21:56 hisforever      sfan5: that did it tty
22:04 hisforever      when I creat a new world what do the seeds line mean?
22:12 ElectronLibre   It's the random number used by the map generation engine to generate the terrain randomly
22:19 hisforever      ElectronLibre: ty my friend
22:24 hisforever      ElectronLibre: is there a way to get a big land mass flat?
22:24 ElectronLibre   There's a config key for that in minetest.conf, let me find it
22:25 ElectronLibre   mg_name = flat
23:06 hisforever      How do I set time so I can have no night?
23:09 ElectronLibre   You can freeze to noon for all eternity
23:09 ElectronLibre   /set time_speed 0
23:09 ElectronLibre   then /time 12000
23:10 hisforever      ty
23:12 ElectronLibre   You'll have to do that every time you restart the server since it's impossible to write "time_speed = 0" in minetest.conf
23:12 ElectronLibre   Because stupid minetest thinks "0" is a boolean here and not the numeral value "0".
23:13 hisforever      ty I'll do that grin

23:55 hisforever      ty Paeamat
23:55 paramat         but also use the 'lakes' and 'hills' flags if you want to, to add those features, as here https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=225487#p225487
23:55 paramat         there are parameters to adjust the area of the lakes and hills
