00:00 Mator_ proller__ I haven't run into a generation speed issue, tbh
00:00 Mator_ but I've also only generated a menger sponge so far
00:04 paramat c++ mapgen will be much faster and will not cause lua lag, but you're just starting with MT ..
00:05 Mator_ yuh, I'm planning on moving on to C++ mods with MT soon enough
00:05 Mator_ also, it seems like this FreeMiner thing is based off of MT
00:05 Mator_ or vice versa
00:06 Mator_ structure/design looks incredibly similar
00:06 paramat good, we don't have c++ mods, but you can write a new core fractal mapgen
00:06 Mator_ ^that's what I was thinking :)
00:06 paramat freeminer is a fork of MT
00:06 Mator_ ah, that's what I just saw
00:07 paramat it had a decent fractal mapgen first
00:08 paramat then i wrote our one
00:10 rubenwardy we used to have a math mapgen
00:10 rubenwardy but it was remove
00:10 rubenwardy *removed
00:10 rubenwardy proller wrote that too
00:13 Allonphone joined #minetest
00:15 paramat yes math mapgen had a not very good mandelbox

00:50 Mator_ hmm.  I'm going to have to come up with point tests for some difficult fractals...
00:50 Mator_ which I always did with recursion in the past

02:24 Mator_ mandelbulb generation is working
02:24 Mator_ but it's a bit slow on the interior
02:30 ThomasMonroe cool Mator_ is it a "mod", or is it still in developement
02:46 AntumDeluge joined #minetest
02:56 ThomasMonroe left #minetest
02:57 Mator_ @ThomasMonroe: Still developing, it's a mod for now
02:57 Mator_ kind of slow
02:58 Mator_ you can find mods for different fractal object generations here: https://github.com/matortheeternal/fractal-miner
02:58 Mator_ as I work on them
03:00 epoch does papyrus spread to good soil that's next to it?
03:02 Mator_ it doesn't in minecraft, so I doubt it would in Minetest
03:02 epoch http://wiki.minetest.net/Category:Flora looks like it isn't.
03:02 paramat no it doesn't
03:03 epoch dang.
03:04 paramat good to see a mandelbulb, i don't know how to code those
03:08 paramat hm it's simpler than i thought
03:08 paramat btw we have vector helper functions here https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/builtin/common/vector.lua
03:14 All|knowing joined #minetest
03:15 paramat nice colours, slow indeed :]
03:27 Mator_ paramat thanks
03:27 Mator_ The palette is configurable
03:27 Mator_ along with other things, per comments
03:28 Mator_ and yeah, it's not TOO complicated once you know the algorithms
03:28 Mator_ the thing is it's a PITA to figure out the code that is available
03:28 Mator_ at least, it was for me the first time
03:28 Mator_ from the code that is available*
03:29 Mator_ I'll probably tackle mandelboxes next
03:30 Mator_ they're pretty similar to mandelbulbs in formula

17:26 Mator_ joined #minetest
17:30 Tre hey Mator_ have you tried Lyapunov fractals?
17:37 ssieb joined #minetest
17:48 Mator_ Tre Lyapunov?  No.  I'm looking into it now.  :o
17:48 Mator_ These look 2d, is there a 3d algorithm?
17:49 Szkod joined #minetest
17:53 Mator_ They sound interesting, but I don't think there'd be a good 3d volumetric analogue.  I could be wrong.
17:53 Mator_ I'm also not a mathematician, so figuring out how to implement that sort of fractal in 3d might be above my head.  :S
17:54 Mator_ Actually, found a render of Lyapunov fractals in 3d: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JFgkIvIxnM
17:55 nore Mator_: for fractals such as Mandelbrot, you can also make it 2D and use the number of iterations it takes to get out of the abs(z)<=2 disk to set the height
17:56 Mator_ nore in the case of the mandelbrot the 3d analogue is actually the Mandelbulb (sort of, it's not a direct analogue, technically)
17:56 nore (more precisely, I guess you would do that using a function such as tanh to set the number of iterations to some number between 0 and 1, and use 1 for those inside the set)
17:57 Mator_ I realize you can do things like that, but the visual result is important to me, not just the fact that it is fractal.  :)
17:57 nore yeah, I know that, I'm just saying that it can make some other iteresting fractals :)
17:57 Mator_ sure, there's TONS of algorithms and approaches out there
17:57 Mator_ I have barely scratched the surface :)
17:57 nore but it will clearly look very different, probably with some cliffs
17:57 nore anyway, just saying :)
17:57 Mator_ sure :)
17:57 Mator_ the issue I have with that sort of approach
17:58 Mator_ is you have low complexity on the height
17:58 nore yup
17:58 Mator_ which makes it more of a 2d fractal graphed on the y axis :P
17:58 Tre oh well, i just thought that they might be interesting
17:59 Mator_ Tre it's totally interesting! :)
17:59 nore (though, it might make worlds that could even be playable :))
17:59 Mator_ nore: any fractal world is playable!  so long as it's at least a little dense  :)
17:59 nore as I said, I have absolutely no idea what the result will be anyway :)
17:59 Mator_ I can smooth out the noise on the fractals I generate by using multisampling
17:59 nore Mator_: yeah, but some are more playable than others :p
18:00 Tre true, you couldalso try and implement a sort of psuedo-Lyapnov fractal by plotting one fractal against antoehr
18:00 DS-minetest I'm still wondering about the daily pps.
18:00 Mator_ Tre: That's still a 2d surface, I think
18:00 Mator_ just wibbly-wobbly
18:01 Mator_ :P
18:01 Tre no, use one fractal for the z-x and the other for the x-y, and then use some sort of algortihm to figure out the x-value
18:01 Mator_ yeah, I understand :)
18:02 Tre or use z as one of the parameters
18:02 Mator_ topographically it's still a 2d surface because you don't have more than one point given a coord
18:02 Tre scaled down of course
18:02 Mator_ so like, given a x,z coord, you'd have 1 y coord
18:02 Mator_ which has a point
18:03 Tre right
18:03 Mator_ that's great if you're generating a planar surface, like terrain
18:03 Mator_ but not if you want a volumetric object
18:03 Tre yeah touche
18:03 Tre it was a good idea though
18:03 Mator_ you can make it slightly more interesting if you use spherical coordinates though
18:04 Mator_ and stretch a 2d fractal across the surface of the sphere
18:04 Tre that would be cool, although a little slow on the generate
18:05 Mator_ eh, no slower than generating a mandelbulb
18:05 Mator_ mandelbulbs use spherical coordinates :)
18:05 Tre youknow someone ought to create a 4d minetest
18:05 Mator_ 4d? you mean transformation across time?
18:05 Tre no like fourth dimension
18:05 Mator_ or do you mean 4 spatial dimensions
18:05 Mator_ oh
18:06 Mator_ https://i.imgur.com/I1XBmEW.gifv
18:06 DS-minetest or change color of wool for 4th dir
18:06 Mator_ the issue with that is you have to morph the voxels
18:06 Mator_ which increases the cpu cost by a lot
18:06 Tre yeah
18:07 Tre it would still be awesome
18:07 Mator_ and voxel morphing/animation is actually a huge challenge in volumetric games
18:07 Krock perfect loop :D
18:07 DS-minetest cool
18:08 DS-minetest 19.7 MB O.o
18:08 ensonic joined #minetest
18:08 Mator_ honestly, I'll be happy if I can generate a giant mandelbox world in reasonable time
18:09 Mator_ lua is just a bit too slow
18:09 Mator_ :P
18:10 Mator_ if you guys like fractals, just watch some of these videos: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mandelbox
18:10 Tre ive seen most of them
18:10 Krock Mator_, well, if even LuaJIT is too slow only C++ code directly into the engine will help you
18:10 Mator_ Krock: I'm aware :)
18:10 Yst joined #minetest
18:11 Mator_ Tre have you see Julius Horsthuis's videos?
18:11 Mator_ https://vimeo.com/juliushorsthuis
18:20 nore Krock: Mator_: you can try to disable mod security and use LuaJIT's FFI
18:20 nore (I'm a bit less sure about linking with gmp though)
18:20 Krock disable? just add an exception for the mod
18:21 nore Krock: I'm not sure the ffi is in the secure environment
18:21 Krock indeed. it could be blocked there too
18:22 DS-minetest question: does this look useful: https://github.com/minetest-technic/technic/pull/343 ?
18:23 FreeFull joined #minetest
18:23 nore DS-minetest: interesting idea, need to think a bit about it
18:23 Mator_ nore Paramat has offered to help me incorporate it into the game's C++ code
18:23 Mator_ as a new world generation mode
18:23 nore Mator_: ooh, that's nice :)
18:23 nore there was a math mapgen once, which was removed due to a lot of glitches IIRC
18:24 Mator_ I've coded in C++ before, so I'm confident I can make it work.
18:26 DS-minetest I'm happy to have eye of gnome installed, it can fluently show the gif of https://i.imgur.com/I1XBmEW.gifv with only 60% of my cpu
18:29 DS-minetest bye
18:29 Krock replace .gifv with .mp4 and the file will be smaller and faster to render
18:29 Mator_ o/
18:29 DS-minetest Krock: interesting
18:29 DS-minetest (it was no irony what i wrote)
18:29 sfan5 Krock: no it will be literally the same
18:30 Krock sfan5, depending on the plugins/hw support
18:30 Mator_ https://vimeo.com/199433928
18:35 sfan5 Krock: no it's literally the same because .gifv is the page that embeds .mp4
18:35 Krock sfan5, 2.3 MiB vs 19.7 MiB. Almost literally the same, yes.
18:36 troller joined #minetest
18:36 Krock well, there's the raw gif and an mp4 file. not sure which one is played when calling gifv
18:37 sfan5 gifv is that thing imgur invented which is just a page embedding the .mp4
18:37 sfan5 "invented"
18:38 Mator_ https://blog.imgur.com/2014/10/09/introducing-gifv/
18:38 Krock apparently it also has a fallback to the raw gif, if mp4 fails
18:38 Krock "video to gif" converter. Seems legit. basically a "video to video" converter

21:02 IhrFussel Guys my log states "2017-04-03 19:52:09: [Main]: INFO: signal_handler(): got SIGTERM, shutting down." but I wasn't even connected to the machine at that time so what could've caused the SIGTERM?

21:03 Mator_ idk
21:03 Mator_ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

21:08 IhrFussel Right before the shutdown it says "user tried to connect but there are already max_users=40 players" ... now I cannot tell if my server really had 40 players but the log won't lie I guess
21:13 IhrFussel Ok...maybe the log does lie uh...I cannot find 40 connected players in the log...the last "List of players" before the shutdown contained 24
21:15 tokage joined #minetest
21:16 IhrFussel That must be a bug...the log is FULL of those errors even though my server never had 40 connected
21:19 kaeza joined #minetest
