00:02 Hijiri (? what's (wrong (with (Scheme))))
00:02 Sketch2 lmao, you get it
00:04 Hijiri imo scheme should replace lua as MT's scripting language
00:05 Hijiri I would say Haskell if it was lighter-weight
00:06 Sketch2 scheme's actually kinda cool, but having to sort everything by heads:tails might throw some for a loop
00:07 Hijiri what do you mean by heads:tails?
00:07 Sketch2 oh how do they prase it cat and car
00:07 Sketch2 something like that
00:08 Hijiri I don't know if people would normally use cons-lists for too many things
00:08 Hijiri Scheme does provide vector types
00:12 nowhereman_ joined #minetest
00:12 Hijiri not that I have used Scheme much
00:13 Sketch2 me neither, just a few gimp scripts

00:42 Lone-Star VanessaE: apparently, AbeEzekowitz tried to pm last night as well. I have umode +g, so nobody can pm me ;) just saw the server message
00:43 clavi I got this Abe thing too
00:43 clavi some incoherent drivel
00:43 VanessaE it's just OC's usual bullshit
00:43 Sketch2 it takes a special kinda messed up to do that
00:43 red-001 Lone-Star, +R is enough
00:44 Lymkwi joined #minetest
00:44 red-001 seems OC isn't smart enough to setup accounts with fake emails
00:44 VanessaE yep.
00:44 clavi how do I +R myself?
00:44 Billre joined #minetest
00:44 red-001 /umode +R
00:45 Lone-Star red-001: yeah, but I already had it +g for another chan, so that's where I left it
00:45 clavi are /umode and /mode the same?
00:45 Lone-Star no
00:45 red-001 no
00:46 red-001 /umode is a alais for /mode <nick>
00:46 clavi because this says it's /mode https://freenode.net/kb/answer/usermodes
00:46 red-001 alias*
00:46 clavi ah I see, thanks
00:46 Travankor joined #minetest
00:47 Lone-Star depending on your irc client, you can add that command to the startup commands so you dont have to type it in every time you connect
00:48 red-001 I think you might be able to also config ZNC to set it
00:48 red-001 you could use "perform"
00:51 clavi done

03:05 honeybooboochild hi vanessa sup
03:06 honeybooboochild it early to me
03:06 VanessaE that's just how IRC and chat rooms are..  slow some days, busy other days, but this time of day/night tends to be slow, it's 10:06pm EST
03:07 honeybooboochild can somebody host a server for me?
03:07 VanessaE look up minetesthosting.com
03:08 honeybooboochild shoot, y'all look on youtube " honey booboo gogo juice"
03:08 honeybooboochild no sleep then , it like meth but legal
03:08 VanessaE meh
03:08 epoch not sure what people expect when they complain about a slow channel.
03:08 VanessaE couldn't care less about stuff to do with honey booboo
03:09 honeybooboochild wha?!
03:09 epoch two or more humans to be on and talking about something at all times of the day?
03:09 honeybooboochild yes
03:09 VanessaE nope.
03:09 VanessaE doesn't work that way heree.
03:09 VanessaE during peak times, this place gets too busy to keep up with anyway
03:09 epoch maybe with a looser topic, but topic-specific channels, nah.
03:10 honeybooboochild i need y'all to code 2 mods for me and server with em
03:10 epoch good luck
03:10 VanessaE do it yourself
03:11 honeybooboochild 1 mod called "sgetti" for full health and "gogo juice" make ya fast for a few
03:11 VanessaE we ain't your personal code monkeys, write them yourself :P
03:11 epoch if you aren't motivated enough to put more effort into it than that I don't know why you expect others to care about it more than you. :)
03:12 honeybooboochild i ain't no programmer i'm a diva, that why i askin y'all
03:12 * epoch grabs some more food for the trolls
03:12 VanessaE doesn't work that way here.
03:12 * VanessaE grabs a banhammer out of the bag
03:13 honeybooboochild y'all aint gotta get mad, i only askin
03:13 VanessaE not madd.
03:13 epoch honeybooboochild: hey, I want you to do something for me.
03:13 * red-001 gets some typewritters
03:13 red-001 hey epoch don't feed them, they are like ducks
03:14 honeybooboochild maybe someone wanna help me
03:14 epoch they'll follow me around and quack?
03:14 red-001 yes
03:14 red-001 and bread is bad for them
03:14 honeybooboochild wht can i do for you ep
03:15 epoch I want a mod made for gogo juice. and sgetti.
03:15 epoch think you could do that for me? :>
03:15 blaise wtf, lol
03:15 honeybooboochild cool do it
03:15 red-001 and I want a duck the size of a horse
03:15 epoch that'd be swell
03:15 blaise red-001: how about one the size of a house?
03:15 red-001 could work
03:15 blaise I want people to play on my server.. :G
03:16 honeybooboochild i ain't no programmer, i wish but...
03:16 red-001 wouldn't want to fight 1000 duck sized houses
03:16 blaise how about 1 house sized duck?
03:16 epoch alright. I'm done feeding.
03:16 * epoch wanders off again
03:16 red-001 well I think it would be slow
03:16 red-001 so I could try and out manuver it
03:16 honeybooboochild i aun't no troll
03:17 honeybooboochild i really want server called honey booboos and it will be #1 i bet in 2 weeks
03:18 blaise red-001: http://www.metronews.ca/content/dam/thestar/uploads/2017/6/29/rubber-duck.jpg.size.xxlarge.promo.jpg
03:18 VanessaE then go set one up, honeybooboochild.
03:18 blaise honeybooboochild: or a server called blockchain?
03:18 epoch left #minetest
03:18 red-001 I'm not clicking that link, not with that URL
03:18 blaise oh, you could always wget the jpeg
03:18 blaise lol
03:18 VanessaE red-001: click it, it's SFW, and funny :)
03:19 * red-001 doesn't regreat it
03:19 red-001 regrete*?
03:19 red-001 night
03:19 VanessaE heh
03:19 blaise that's why I pasted the direct url to the image and not to the article with all the click bait and adds and javascript
03:19 blaise I try to avoid luring people into stuff like that if possible
03:21 blaise "Because it's a maritime vessel, the duck receives "she" or "her" pronouns."
03:21 blaise She, is spectacular
03:22 blaise maybe I need to construct a massive duck on my server
03:22 blaise maybe that will draw more users...
03:23 blaise hrmmmm.....

11:08 Sketch2 hiya
11:09 Sketch2 wonder why, when you build VICE from source, it doesn't give you the title-bar menu
11:10 Sketch2 I wouldn't mind, except that's where the save-state entries are
11:10 Sketch2 and I need screenshots of a couple of the highest level bots to extract for my little minetest subgame
11:11 Sketch2 I can get there, but I'm likely to die a few times on the way.  savestates make it easier
11:12 lumberJ joined #minetest
11:13 Sketch2 Guess I'll install the one from the repos as well
11:14 Sketch2 Just not fond of having multiple copies around, having to keep track of which one's which
11:15 fireglow wow yeah, 138.68.26.27 was one of the IPs where bots came from
11:16 Sketch2 bots in here, or in-game?
11:17 fireglow in-game, map bloating
11:17 Sketch2 oh, trying to copy a map or something?
11:17 fireglow no, just increasing the maps size
11:18 fireglow real scumbag way of saying "I'm an idiot"

11:59 Sketch2 woo doggy, did it, 999
12:19 fireglow Sketch2: what happened?
12:21 Sketch2 oh, nothing major.  just happened to win a game against the 999 in Paradroid, so I was able to take it over
12:21 Sketch2 it's tough to do, and you gotta level up a few times to get enough tokens to achieve it
12:21 Sketch2 but it's needed so you can scan the computer for details about lower-level bots
12:22 Sketch2 and that way I could get screenshots of 'em to render in Blender
12:22 fireglow oh hmm right
12:23 Sketch2 lols, I know
12:23 Sketch2 It'll make sense later on
12:23 fireglow alright :)
12:24 Sketch2 it's one of those 'how long can you survive' kinda games
12:24 Sketch2 that everyone seens to be a fan of these days
12:24 Sketch2 *seems

13:49 Sketch2 is it a luarocks v. luasocket issue?
13:49 Sketch2 you gotta make sure that's installed for the ver of lua you're using
13:49 fireglow oh hmm, could be :S
13:50 fireglow well it worked fine before, I only changed the server to not use luajit (because of OOM crashes)
13:50 fireglow using Lua 5.1
13:50 Sketch2 it might be that the one it was using is installed in a location that luajit's looking at, but lua doesn't know about
13:51 Sketch2 I don't recall the specifics on lua, if it shares that dir
13:53 fireglow http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2011-01/msg01165.html maybe I ought to try Lua 5.2
13:54 Sketch2 worth a try
13:58 Sketch2 it says on the git page-   https://github.com/minetest-mods/irc   -Debian/Ubuntu's LuaSocket packages are broken, so use LuaRocks.
13:58 Sketch2 if LuaSocket is installed through your package manager, you might disable it that way
13:59 Sketch2 then do the commandline thing-   sudo apt-get install luarocks && luarocks install luasocket
14:00 Sketch2 Still trying to get this player model to show up right
14:00 Sketch2 I've got it in-game, but it's floating too high
14:06 fireglow hmm! good find, thank you
14:07 Sketch2 right on
14:07 ThomasMonroe joined #minetest
14:09 bas080 joined #minetest
14:14 fireglow hmm, no luck. meh
14:17 Sketch2 on the luasocket thing?  does it give you any specifics in the error?
14:18 Sketch2 oh, sorry you posted it earlier, missed that
14:18 Sketch2 you know what it might be, uh how do they call it, like lua protection
14:19 Sketch2 there's a setting that disables external modules
14:20 Sketch2 secure.trusted_mods = irc
14:21 Sketch2 you wouldn't-a been able to run it in the first place tho, so that's 'prolly not it
14:24 Sketch2 the line about   "dynamic libraries not enabled"   has me wondering tho
14:26 Sketch2 you could straight up disable it for the time being for testing purposes-   secure.enable_security = false
14:27 Sketch2 in your minetest.conf
14:28 derixithy Anyone else got strange messages from this AbeEzeKowitz person? Whats his deal? Got dropped at birth or something?
14:29 Sketch2 quite a few have derixithy.  it's OldCoder being a pest
14:29 derixithy I could recommend him my therapist, shes awesome
14:30 Sketch2 I forget the ignore command   something like   /umode +R
14:30 Sketch2 I think that's it, but it might be lowercase
14:31 red-001 its uppercase for you humans
14:32 red-001 just lowercase for channels
14:32 Sketch2 ok, ty
14:32 Beton joined #minetest
14:33 red-001 derixithy, tell freenode staff if it happens again
14:33 derixithy Okay, will do that
14:33 red-001 oldcoder has a lifetime ban from freenode
14:33 red-001 or at least the closest to that freenode can give him
14:36 derixithy I get thorougly anoyed when getting unasked pm's so when i read parts of that rambling it didn't help
14:47 Sketch2 fireglow, try setting LUA_PATH and CPATH-  http://w3.impa.br/~diego/software/luasocket/installation.html
14:48 Sketch2 these both aim toward that solution as well-   https://stackoverflow.com/a/10358900/3342050   --   https://stackoverflow.com/a/21929456/3342050
14:56 Sketch2 k, think I got player model @ right height.  shower, coffee, then look into that formspec thing
14:56 Out`Of`Control hi
14:56 Sketch2 yo
14:57 Out`Of`Control server send to player only registred nodes textures?
14:57 Out`Of`Control or all textures in mods folder
14:59 Out`Of`Control player/client
14:59 fireglow hmm Sketch2 thank you so much :)
15:00 fireglow it'll be a tough nut to crack, I don't know what goes on..
15:10 whitephoenix joined #minetest
15:14 Sketch2 huh, uh did'ja get it fireglow?
15:15 fireglow hmm no, I think my best bet would be to try and compile LuaJIT in 64 bit mode, but I don't know how to do that or if it's even possible on FreeBSD
15:17 fireglow nvm, looks like it is 64 bit. No idea why my server is crashing due to OOM, then.

15:35 fireglow ERROR[Main]: ServerError: AsyncErr: ServerThread::run Lua: OOM error from mod '*builtin*' in callback on_joinplayer(): not enough memory
15:35 rubenwardy fancy mapgen mods, I'm guessin?
15:36 rubenwardy you'll have to fix the mod (probably hard), use plain Lua (slow), or use LuaJIT with GC64 (experimental)
15:39 Out`Of`Control rubenwardy: do you know maybe, server send to client all textures from mods or only registered nodes.
15:39 fireglow hmm, only ethereal, but with mapgen.lua disabled
15:39 rubenwardy Out`Of`Control: all textures

15:42 Lymkwi joined #minetest
15:43 fireglow rubenwardy: is there a way to determine which mod(s) are the culprits?
15:43 rubenwardy unfortunately, no
15:43 rubenwardy does it tell you the memory in use at the crash?
15:44 Sketch2 what mods do you have running?
15:44 rubenwardy is it a public server?
15:45 Sketch2 I'd clone a copy of the world, disable half the mods, see if it happens.  if so, disable half of them, so on and so forth 'till you narrow it down
15:45 fireglow yes, public. memory: ERROR[Main]: Current Lua memory usage: 1800 MB
15:46 fireglow hm yeah it doesn't happen with all the mods disabled
15:47 fireglow Sketch2: rather a lot, I'm afraid: https://paste.firc.de/?ea4148c1a7706c26#4f+djzueNi3rSL9mbyZBuaX4IJE8sXqTNOlu98DkNOs=
15:47 Sketch2 possibly recursion issue
15:47 LaCosa joined #minetest
15:47 rubenwardy Check the size of the auth file
15:47 rubenwardy that is entirely loaded into memory during the server life
15:47 rubenwardy and is likely to be bloated
15:47 rubenwardy if it's more than like 5MB, then you have two options:
15:47 fireglow mmm
15:48 fireglow yeah I have scripts that weed out auth.txt
15:48 rubenwardy 1) remove all players without interact (if that's not in default_privs)
15:48 rubenwardy 2) use sban
15:48 rubenwardy *sauth
15:48 rubenwardy or right, cool
15:48 fireglow sauth, will look into that
15:48 rubenwardy sauth will stop the loss of data, but currently doesn't have all users in cache
15:48 Out`Of`Control rubenwardy: even if i unregister node, client get texture
15:49 rubenwardy which means it needs to load the player when logging in
15:49 rubenwardy but keeps it cached whilst they're logged in, luckily
15:49 rubenwardy this means it adds a bit of performance loss if you have lots of joining players
15:49 rubenwardy Out`Of`Control: yes
15:49 rubenwardy the media sending doesn't care about Lua at all
15:49 Out`Of`Control sounds like a bug, thanks
15:49 rubenwardy only about the textures folders
15:50 rubenwardy no, it's intentional
15:50 rubenwardy unless you have a texture missing
15:50 rubenwardy \o/
15:50 Out`Of`Control i have many disabled nodes tons of textures, have to delete them
15:51 Out`Of`Control anyone remember name of tool to check  craft conflicts
15:53 rubenwardy is there one?
15:53 rubenwardy I made one to detect missing ingredients or outputs
15:53 Out`Of`Control yes there was one
15:54 rubenwardy no idea then
15:54 rubenwardy this is the tool that checks for missing items in recipes: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=5831
15:55 rubenwardy found this: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=15488&amp;p=232945

16:10 Sketch2 Blender's got nice texture generation capabilities
16:11 Sketch2 pass two colors into a wave texture and give it some distortion.  gives it a good stripped wood effect
16:12 rubenwardy never used that, but I've done a lot with Maya's texture generation
16:12 rubenwardy it's pretty cool

16:21 fireglow looking good
16:22 fireglow rubenwardy: cheers, cleaning up auth.txt plus some huge advtrain file solved it!
16:22 rubenwardy nicee
16:22 fireglow probably all the advtrains track automation is gone now, but meh
16:23 fireglow 269K for advtrains_ndb2 is too large
16:26 rubenwardy advtrains needs more contributors, such potential
16:27 rubenwardy the code makes me sad though
16:27 fireglow mmm yeah hah
16:27 fireglow I was, and still am, very hesitant to convert rails-tracks to advtrains ones
16:27 fireglow but my users want all the features of advtrains :S

16:30 rubenwardy was gonna say same
16:30 rubenwardy but I at least write addons ;)
16:30 rubenwardy I wrote the whole flippin' subgame!

16:36 blaise should I be seeing this message when there are no users logged in for a very long time ? 2018-02-22 16:31:15: WARNING[Server]: active block modifiers took 338ms (longer than 200ms)
16:36 rubenwardy probably not
16:36 blaise seems like there shouldn't be any active blocks if no one has been on
16:38 blaise I sure hope my server isn't keeping the whole map active constantly
16:38 rubenwardy do you have technic?
16:38 Octupuslegs joined #minetest
16:41 Octupuslegs Hey whats up guys, Im back
16:41 blaise rubenwardy: yes
16:42 rubenwardy could be a forceload anchor from there, then
16:42 blaise rubenwardy: I haven't deployed any
16:42 blaise how can I list the active block modifiers?
16:43 rubenwardy the profiler will tell you
16:43 rubenwardy apart from that, not sure
16:46 blaise what's a profiler?
16:47 antims joined #minetest
16:48 rubenwardy something that measures the performance of code, and tells you how fast different things run
16:48 rubenwardy for example, it'll say how much time each ABM takes up on average and in total

16:51 sfan5 fireglow: what do you need
16:52 fireglow sfan5: mm I was going to ask you something related to serverenvironment.cpp, but the 0.4 backports version is still the same, only in master has it changed a bit
16:52 fireglow sorry :S
16:53 fireglow so let me just say: hi, hope you are doing well :)
16:53 sfan5 i may have touched that
16:53 sfan5 so ask away
16:53 fireglow it was just that little snippet in https://dev.firc.de/wiki/Games/MinetestAdmin ("Debugging log messages
16:54 fireglow the function has changed a bit, I think, in master
16:54 Krock fireglow, that patch should actually be a PR so it's known what entity is deleted
16:55 fireglow Krock: I agree, it's really useful
16:56 Krock I provided xerox123 a chat command combination to execute Lua code to do the same without having to modify the source code
16:56 Krock but it's very annoying and not user-friendly
16:56 sfan5 fireglow: you can pretty much paste the lines from that patch into saveStaticToBlock()
16:57 fireglow oo
17:01 fireglow sfan5: like that? https://paste.firc.de/?3162d88d98a7783f#z8Bde5wXXd763inoGixdSDLpX5VTGcZ1YafYEpCwpGg=
17:02 sfan5 yes

18:12 blaise so not blocks but plain obsidian?
18:12 Krock what? wasn't it a 4x5 frame of obsidian?
18:12 Krock plain obisian
18:12 Sketch2 it might be Krock

18:18 blaise RLE ?
18:18 Sketch2 Run Length Encoding
18:18 Sketch2 'cuz that's what it looks like it's doing to me
18:20 Sketch2 It was just a cursory glance, but it looks like it packs 100 of an object in a single slot
18:20 twoelk joined #minetest
18:20 blaise it seemed like a good solution to mass node storage
18:21 Sketch2 yea, I know I ran into that quite a few times
18:21 blaise I got the nether portal open but it doesn't seem to transport anywhere
18:21 Sketch2 chest upon chest filled w/ cobble
18:22 Sketch2 I'd place fridges full of the stuff and just give it away to newbies
18:22 blaise oh, I see.. you have to stand in the purple light
18:22 blaise lol
18:22 Sketch2 nether is trippy
18:23 Sketch2 is that the one that has the shroomy caves?
18:26 blaise eh, no

18:26 blaise I don't have mobs enabled currently but it looks like it would be a problem

18:54 Sketch2 on_use(pointed_thing)   returns   {ref = <userdata>, type = "object"}
18:54 Sketch2 so is <userdata> stored in a C++ format?
18:55 sfan5 ref will be an ObjectRef
18:59 Krock also yes, you will call C++ functions using that like ref:set_hp()
18:59 xerox123 what are the possible reasons for player name tags being half way through people's chests, and the player model being one nodes up
19:00 Sketch2 oh, ok.  that's what I was missing.  instead of   pointed_thing.ref.get_hp()
19:00 Sketch2 you gotta do   pointed_thing.ref:get_hp()
19:00 sfan5 xerox123: if you're running 0.5-dev, it's a mod incompatiblity
19:01 xerox123 running 0.4.16. however I was given the world to host from 0.4.15
19:04 Krock Sketch2, you can also do your method but it'll be undesirable long: pointed_thing.ref.get_hp(pointed_thing.ref),  as :function  will pass the own reference as argument #|
19:04 Krock #1 *
19:05 Sketch2 guess that makes sense
19:09 ThomasMonroe how does one do a time-limited ban?
19:09 ThomasMonroe I keep forgetting, I should write it down sometime
19:09 Shara Check instructions in mod repo?
19:09 Shara Depending on mod you use
19:10 SonosFuer joined #minetest
19:10 Krock xban(2) does that for you, ThomasMonroe
19:10 Shara I assume that's what he uses, but sban does it too
19:11 Shara And who knows what else
19:11 ThomasMonroe xban2 is installed, but it says that xtempban is not a command
19:12 Shara Maybe xtemp_ban?
19:12 Shara Just check the repo
19:12 Shara Or the mod if you have it locally
19:12 Shara It should have a readme with commands
19:12 blaise lol
19:12 Shara Or do /help all in game and read
19:12 ThomasMonroe **Usage:** `/xtempban <player_or_ip> <time> <reason>`
19:12 blaise should being the key word
19:13 Shara Pretty sure it does since I remember looking it up before
19:13 Shara ThomasMonroe: maybe you are entering the time incorrectly?
19:13 blaise should what though, work?
19:13 Shara blaise: throw parties, obviously
19:13 blaise maybe he doesn't have load_mod_xban2 = true ?
19:14 Shara It wouldn't show in /help all if the mod wasn't running
19:14 blaise is it though?
19:14 Sketch2 time in seconds
19:15 Sketch2 you have the 'ban' priv on your current char?
19:15 ThomasMonroe ok it works
19:15 Sketch2 cool

20:02 Sketch2 It really is.  You don't ever punch anybody in minetest
20:02 Sketch2 you tell them to punch themselves
20:03 Sketch2 and they do it
20:03 Sketch2 puncher:punch(puncher, time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, direction)
20:04 Sketch2 there is no 'punchee' in the command
20:04 sfan5 why would there be?
20:04 Sketch2 Guess it's not needed, but it seems backwards
20:05 Sketch2 hey sfan5, go punch yourself
20:05 Sketch2 it that point it seems entirely optional
20:06 sfan5 ?????
20:06 sfan5 it's punchee:punch(puncher, ...)

20:07 Sketch2 That's what you'd think, but I just coded it
20:08 red-001 ...
20:08 Sketch2 maybe that's how it's supposed to be, I just did it wrong
20:08 Sketch2 lemme try it with a punchee, see if it makes a diff
20:10 Sketch2 nah, that crashes it
20:11 Sketch2 local punchee  = user.ref     local puncher  = pointed_thing.ref
20:11 Sketch2 this works-   puncher:punch(puncher, time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, direction)
20:12 Sketch2 this doesn't-   punchee:punch(puncher, time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, direction)
20:15 blaise lol
20:15 Sketch2 found it from tnt line 188   https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/blob/master/mods/tnt/init.lua
20:17 raymoo[m] What is user
20:18 Sketch2 on_use  = function(itemstack, user, pointed_thing) -- Left click attack
20:19 Sketch2 user of the tool, so player
20:20 raymoo[m] user can be a non-player ObjevtRef or nil too btw
20:20 raymoo[m] Are you trying to punch the tool user?
20:20 CWz joined #minetest
20:20 Sketch2 no, punch with the tool
20:22 raymoo[m] thing:punch(bob, ...) will have bob punch thing
20:22 raymoo[m] Also user is either nil or an ObjectRef, so it won't have a ref field
20:28 Sketch2 ok, so this sorta works    local punchee = user     local puncher = pointed_thing.ref
20:29 Sketch2 but it sometimes ends in-   bad argument #1 to 'punch' (userdata expected, got nil)
20:31 Sketch2 the TNT way of doing things seems to be safer
20:33 raymoo[m] Shouldn't puncher be user and  the punchee be the pointed thing?
20:33 Sketch2 oh wait, you're right
20:33 Sketch2 thing:punch(bob, ...) will have bob punch thing
20:35 raymoo[m] Assuming you are doing punchee:punch(puncher)
20:35 raymoo[m] Assuming you are doing punchee:punch(puncher)
20:35 raymoo[m] You will also want to make sure thing is not nil
20:35 raymoo[m] Because it could be if the pointed_thing does not point to an object
20:35 Sketch2 puncher:punch(punchee)   k, can test for it
20:36 Sketch2 it reads right in the output, and the mouse dies that way
20:36 blaise so, apparently there is https://github.com/cx384/storage_interface.git
20:36 blaise I had no idea

20:45 blaise maybe even a few

20:55 Sketch2 oh, raymoo, again you're right.  I had these backwards-  local puncher = user   local punchee = pointed_thing.ref
20:57 Sketch2 makes a million times more sense now
20:59 Sketch2 maybe the TNT thing was to bypass any limitations on distance from placer
20:59 Krock idea: dirt + clay + straw = cheap wall material
21:00 Krock back to the dark age!
21:00 raymoo[m] I think it was to avoid needing an object
21:11 Sketch2 hmm,  on_place()  only seems to run when you rightclick on nodes
21:12 Sketch2 that makes sence, but I thought it was for all rightclicks
21:12 Krock on_secondary_use
21:12 Krock err.. that's for punching, the other mouse button..
