What snow mod? 05:36 Cornelia blaise: ??? 05:37 blaise weather 05:37 blaise https://github.com/Jeija/minetest-mod-weather 05:38 blaise i need to remove all instances of weather:snow_cover from my map 05:38 blaise Cornelia: is there a way to do this from within the client while logged in? 05:40 blaise deleteblocks and clearobjects don't seem to be what I'm looking for 05:47 Cornelia You could write a simple mod to do it. 05:48 Cornelia A Loading Block Modifier that removes the snow_cover nodes 05:48 Cornelia I'm looking into the mod, though, to see if there's some way to stop it from snowing on your tracks. :P 05:52 Cornelia Blaise: did you enable the ABM in the snow.lua file? 05:52 blaise idk what you're talking about 05:53 Cornelia https://github.com/Jeija/minetest-mod-weather/blob/master/weather/snow.lua 05:53 blaise yes 05:53 Cornelia Halfway down, there's commented code. 05:53 Cornelia Did you uncomment? 05:53 blaise i totally did 05:53 Cornelia I thought so.. 05:54 Cornelia Um.. I can't do it tonight... 05:54 blaise lol 05:54 blaise do what? 05:54 Cornelia But I could write some code so that it can blacklist the tiles 05:54 Cornelia To keep the snow off your tracks 05:54 Cornelia I just need to know what the other mod is. :P 05:55 Cornelia Advanced trains or something. 05:55 blaise what version of worldedit works with 0.4.16 05:55 blaise yes, that's it 05:55 Cornelia I have no idea. :P 05:55 Cornelia I don't even know what mods there are off the top of my head. 05:55 blaise worldedit crashes my server... 05:55 Cornelia But I could do this code for you if you'd like. 05:56 Cornelia Blaise: look in the debug.txt file and see what the crash was. 05:56 Cornelia It might say something useful. 05:56 blaise it was world edit... I just said it was 05:56 Cornelia Like "need newer thing" or "error loading function" etc. (Fake examples :p) 05:56 Cornelia Yea, But the debug.txt will tell you exactly why world edit crashed the server. 05:56 blaise yeah, mentions that current git of world edit needs current git of minetest dev 05:57 Cornelia *shrug* try older versions until you find one that works. 05:57 blaise hence me asking what version of world edit is for 0.4.16 stable minetest release 05:57 blaise lol 05:58 blaise there are plenty of mods that will remove unknown blocks but they all require a working implementation of worldedit 05:59 blaise "weather:snow_cover" is what I want tossed from my map 06:03 lumberJ just write an lbm replaceing the item with "air" 06:03 Cornelia ^ 06:03 lumberJ no worldedit needed 06:03 Cornelia I mentioned that earlier. 06:03 lumberJ ah, sorry :) 06:04 Cornelia No problem. :P 06:04 lumberJ i second your idea then 06:04 blaise lol 06:04 Cornelia I also offered to address the root of the problem where snow builds up on tracks in the first place. :P 06:04 blaise what is this lbm you speak of? 06:04 lumberJ http://dev.minetest.net/minetest.register_lbm 06:05 blaise Cornelia: but you don't have time to mess with this currently, no? 06:05 Cornelia Not tonight, no. :P 06:06 blaise see, the main problem with the "weather:snow_cover", and the advanced trains, are that the trains themselves require atleast a 3*3 area of clearence from the base of the rails.. 06:07 blaise what complicates this is the fact that the rails make a 30% curve and not 90% like the original minetest carts.. 06:07 lumberJ the lbm you need is about 7 lines of easy coding. 06:07 blaise so you end up with blocks partially covered and uncovered 06:09 Cornelia https://pastebin.com/WsSAcpcE 06:09 Cornelia Save that as ./minetest/mods/Blaise/init.lua 06:09 Cornelia And play the game. :P 06:10 Cornelia It will remove weather:snow_cover 06:16 blaise nice 06:47 blaise Cornelia: thank you 06:47 Cornelia You are welcome.. but I just copied the example from lumberJ 's link and changed a few values :p 06:53 blaise │2018-01-17 06:53:21: WARNING[Server]: Assignment to undeclared global "srcstack" inside a function at ...t/mods/technic/technic/machines/register/battery_box.lua:454. 06:54 blaise :0 06:54 blaise wtf is dat? 08:11 lumberJ blaise, just a warning about a variable. shouldn't be a real issue 08:24 blaise lol 08:24 blaise it looks so angry though 10:38 blaise nice 10:38 blaise my server should be in pretty good shape for people to come create 10:38 blaise :D 10:39 blaise everyone should come check it out @ midnightsystems.net:30000 10:41 blaise I added a store at the spawn location, and there is initial stuffs now 10:42 blaise I spent way more time on this than I should have... but I got a lot done 13:57 MinetestBot deltasquared: Jan-08 19:04 UTC Forking sounds good. That's the first step to get PRs :D 13:58 deltasquared ok, more obscure questions that absolutely no-one ever has ever had (probably) 13:58 deltasquared can node / item metadata store arbitary binary strings in keys? like embedded NULs etc. 13:59 deltasquared (there's probably a size limit as well, not expecting to be able to shove gigabytes in there without explosions happening) 14:00 deltasquared it looks at least that e.g the file that stores e.g. player's inventory data encodes the metadata table as a lua fragment with unicode escapes anyway 14:01 deltasquared pretty sure sqlite will handle such non-printing strings just fine as well, within reason 14:01 deltasquared well, I guess there's only one way to find out... 14:28 deltasquared hmm, looks to be doing so just fine. 14:29 deltasquared also note to self, remember to actually generate the world before trying to forceload it with no players around >_> 16:49 red-001 hi Gael-de-Sailly 16:49 Gael-de-Sailly hey :) 17:09 shangul rubenwardy, Hello, may I pm you 17:52 swift110 So today I will try to play minetest on an core2duo laptop with 2 gb ram this will be fun for sure. Then I will compare that to my i7 laptop with 16 gb ram 17:53 t20kdc *cough* they put 16GB in laptops now??? 17:54 swift110 t20kdc, thats been done for a years now man 17:54 swift110 the laptop I am referring to is from 2012 17:55 jluc that should be ok, i do LAN parties with lots of old computers 17:55 jluc in case it's slow, there are some visual rendering options to uncheck 17:55 jluc when lubuntu runs, minetest runs ! 17:58 shangul swift110, even with 1GB minetest is fast 17:59 shangul I have experienced. but people say it's even fast with lower hardware 18:02 swift110 thats cool jluc and shangul. So it is lighter than Minecraft I presume? 18:02 shangul yes 18:02 shangul the goal of creating this was to run on old hardware 18:03 swift110 that's awesome are you one of the developers shangul 18:03 shangul no 18:04 shangul one the players! 18:04 shangul one of the players* 18:05 swift110 oh thats cool 18:07 shangul one of the players* 20:57 ericxdu[m] Elon_Satoshi: hey you 21:32 DabbaDabba nls 21:45 blaise hrmm 21:45 blaise I wonder if there is a guestbook mod for minetest 21:51 blaise is this something to be worried about? 2018-01-17 21:33:10: WARNING[Server]: active block modifiers took 246ms (longer than 200ms) 21:51 blaise there seems to be a rather large quantity of this warning in my server log 21:52 sfan5 it can indicate a performance problem 21:52 sfan5 as in your server being too low-spec to handle everything 21:52 sfan5 but if you don't notice anything ingame, don't worry 21:54 blaise it's a VM that has been allocated 6 cores on a xeon... 21:54 blaise it's been alocated 4GB of ram.. 21:55 blaise Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5670 @ 2.93GHz 21:55 blaise it's hardly a slow machine.... 21:56 blaise sfan5: I would like to mitigate as many preformance issues with my minetest server as possible... what would be the best course of action in investigating this issue? 21:56 sfan5 like I said, do you notice any issues ingame? 21:57 blaise sfan5: the server is midnightsystems.net:30000 if you care to check things out, as I'm not sure I would notice any preformance issues myself... 21:57 sfan5 also your Xeon is from 2010, has a low single thread rating and performs only as good as my mid-end i5 desktop cpu 21:58 sfan5 nah, you would notice performance issues during normal gameplay 21:58 blaise okay.. :) 21:58 blaise it's a funtoo container, I rent it.. 21:58 sfan5 so tl;dr just ignore these warnings 21:59 blaise my local machine is an amd A8-7410 22:00 blaise not great, but it runs minetest like a champ 22:00 blaise lmao 22:02 blaise sfan5: I get one of those warnings about every minute... at the moment I don't think it's an issue but I think it could become aliability as far as storage space goes
