00:19 swift110 hey all
00:20 swift110 long time sice I have had the chance to play but hopefully I can change that soon
00:27 * itsonlybinary waves to rubenwardy from an anonymous bristol hotel
00:27 itsonlybinary :P
00:27 rubenwardy o/
00:27 itsonlybinary sucks #live is over
00:27 rubenwardy yeah :(
00:27 GreenDimond Speaking of, when do we get the report/summary, rubenwardy?
00:28 Jordach itsonlybinary: greetings
00:28 rubenwardy \o/
00:29 rubenwardy GreenDimond: well, we ran out of stickers (we brought 50). We think it was better/more successful than last year
00:29 swift110 how are you rubenwardy
00:29 rubenwardy good thanks
00:29 GreenDimond Cool. But like are you gonna do a comprehensive forum post like last year? :0
00:30 rubenwardy maybe, but not today :D
00:30 GreenDimond works for me
00:30 Jordach GreenDimond: my code is entirely powered by monster energy at this point
00:30 GreenDimond rofl
00:30 Jordach and coke, lots of coke
00:31 itsonlybinary ^^^ you did read that back right?
00:31 Jordach i mean the drink
00:31 rubenwardy I can confirm, Jordach drinks those
00:31 Jordach if i was doing coke i'd have legit finished SP by now
00:32 rubenwardy there wouldn't be much difference in quality, either!
00:32 itsonlybinary i wanted cola all weekend but annoyed tesco do the sneaky smaller bottles because of sugar tax
00:32 itsonlybinary so been drink dr pepper instead
00:32 itsonlybinary +ing
00:33 Jordach drpepp has lost its magic in recent years for me
00:33 Jordach something about the taste changed ever so slightly, but my hypersensitivity gave it away
00:34 itsonlybinary can i reverse my mouse axis?
00:34 rubenwardy yes
00:35 rubenwardy main menu -> settings -> advanced -> search "invert" -> double click entry to toggle
00:35 itsonlybinary ah thanks i was looking while in game
00:35 Knight_Of_Wars-m lol
00:37 Jordach what mad person uses inverted axis
00:38 itsonlybinary old people?
00:38 itsonlybinary i think its an age range thing tbh
00:39 itsonlybinary a lot of games i played early in my life must have been inverted by default

08:55 mrchiantos Hello
08:56 mrchiantos By default, mods are disabled in all worlds, if they are not in / games, but in / mods. Would it be possible for me to indicate the part of the code that makes them disabled, I would need for my project to activate them by default. To avoid duplicating mods that would be used by all / games ... Its mods would be used by default for / games.
08:58 mrchiantos I have found to add the load mod automatically directly to the world creation world.mt, but how to go from "false" to "true".
09:12 jas_ joined #minetest
09:13 rubenwardy The better way to do this would be to not do it, and use submodules instead
09:18 mrchiantos It is therefore not possible to force the load mod to be in "true"?

16:00 mars joined #minetest
16:04 mars @sfan5, leaving this here in case you can do something with it. I tried rebooting the machine last night, still nothing. https://pastebin.com/raw/LcfhbPKX
16:05 sfan5 have you configured ipv6 on your domain yet?
16:05 mars I'm not sure what that means. The IPv6 addressing seems to work ...
16:06 mars what does "domain" mean in this context?
16:07 rubenwardy DNS
16:07 rubenwardy ie, have you added a AAA/CNAME6 record
16:07 sfan5 mars: this one -> arklegacy.duckdns.org
16:08 mars I don't think I did anything with name records. I got "arklegacy.duckdns.org" from Amazon's free nameserver service.
16:08 mars I just told them my IP and let them deal with it.
16:08 sfan5 yes, you'll need to add the IPv6 there too
16:09 mars Ah. I will see what they got on their control panel.
16:17 mars I've added my IPv6 in their control panel, I guess it should take a while to disseminate.
16:18 sfan5 a few minutes, yes
16:19 mmuller Can anybody tell me about minetest.settings?  It's currently documented, and I'm running a build off of latest github/master, but mobs_redo doesn't seem to be finding it.
16:20 p_gimeno joined #minetest
16:20 rubenwardy huh
16:21 rubenwardy minetest.settings is an object to interact with the settings, it should just work
16:21 rubenwardy are you sure you're running 5.0-dev?
16:21 rubenwardy have you recompiled?
16:21 mmuller not sure about 5.0-dev, though I have recompiled
16:22 rubenwardy it's also possible it's using the old built-in if you haven't `sudo make install`'d if using RUN_IN_PLACE=1
16:22 rubenwardy oops
16:22 rubenwardy RUN_IN_PLACE=0
16:22 nisa joined #minetest
16:22 rubenwardy so: did you change RUN_IN_PLACE to 1 in cmake? If not, have you ever installed MT globally?
16:22 mmuller I did sudo make install, what does RUN_IN_PLACE do?
16:22 rubenwardy oh right
16:22 rubenwardy should be working then
16:23 mmuller hmm, ok.  I'll dig around some more.
16:23 rubenwardy what's the exact error?
16:23 mmuller I'll pull it up, but roughly it's that settings is nil
16:23 mmuller "attempt to index field 'settings' (a nil value)"
16:25 mmuller hmm, substantial diffs with 0.5.0-dev
16:25 mmuller does development happen on master?
16:26 rubenwardy yes
16:26 rubenwardy maybe you haven't `git pull`'d from the current remote?
16:26 rubenwardy *correct
16:26 mmuller last log entry I saw was from February, which seems odd.
16:26 mmuller what is the current remote?
16:26 rubenwardy minetest.settings was added Dec 12, 2014
16:26 p_gimeno git remote -v
16:27 mmuller https://github.com/minetest/minetest.git
16:27 p_gimeno what does 'git br' say?
16:27 p_gimeno sorry, 'git branch'
16:27 rubenwardy should be right
16:27 mmuller ohhhhh.  Wait, I'm a dufus and forgot to merge.
16:27 rubenwardy lool
16:27 rubenwardy oops :P
16:28 p_gimeno I thought a pull did an automatic merge
16:28 p_gimeno (I never pull myself, I always fetch and then merge manually)
16:28 mmuller pull does, fetch doesn't.  fetch is generally prescribed
16:28 mmuller still if it was added in 2014...
16:28 mmuller but we'll see
16:29 p_gimeno the current branch is important
16:30 p_gimeno are you in master?
16:30 mmuller yes
16:30 mmuller (and also now see checkins as late as Nov 1)

17:50 p_gimeno I am getting too many giant caves (caves with enormous rooms where you typically don't see the other side), any idea what can cause them? I think it may have started happening after installing xtraores, does that mod generate giant caves?
17:50 Krock yes, there are mods which add more caves, others use existing ones
17:51 p_gimeno I want to stop having such giant caves, and trying to trace what is causing them
17:52 p_gimeno I'd like to know which mod can it be
17:54 Krock are you sure it's a mod? if so, grep for on_generate callbacks
17:54 p_gimeno Krock: no I'm not. It might also be the update to 0.4.16 which I believe is the version running on the server. Or the corresponding MTG update.
17:55 Krock I only remember of one change in the cave algorithm for mgv5,7? which was already 0.5.0-dev by that time
17:57 Krock if some mod makes use of the "large_cave_*" and "cave_*" gennotify flags, then it's generated by the engine
18:02 p_gimeno but triggered by the mod?
18:03 Krock no, the mod would then just use the flags to decorate/modify the cave
18:06 DI3HARD139 joined #minetest
18:10 p_gimeno glooptest, that's another suspect
18:10 p_gimeno disabling xtraores didn't seem to make a difference
18:43 troller joined #minetest
19:09 Fulgen joined #minetest
19:25 p_gimeno glooptest did seem to make a difference, except it doesn't make sense, there's nothing in on_generated that could cause such thing
19:25 jimvideo joined #minetest
19:26 p_gimeno if I'm looking for mods that change the mapgen parameters, what should I be looking for?
19:27 Krock the mapgen params would be changed persistently, so if you notice a difference by disabling a mod in the same world, then it can't be this case
19:29 crazyR I'm confused... im using a minetest 5.0.0 client to connect to my minetest 5.0.0 server but its kicking me for unsuported client
19:29 crazyR anyone got any ideas
19:29 GreenDimond Krock: Hey speaking of mapgen why cant I get register_decoration to work?
19:30 Krock GreenDimond: because you're using mgv6
19:30 GreenDimond Nope
19:30 GreenDimond Using v7
19:30 Krock crazyR: outdated server or client. there are several compat breaks
19:30 GreenDimond 5.0 client with v7 mapgen
19:30 GreenDimond and it isnt working
19:30 crazyR krock A mismatched client tried to connect from
19:31 Krock GreenDimond: try to use a very high density and then tweak the values down
19:31 GreenDimond Which one do I tweak to make it high density?
19:31 GreenDimond spread?
19:32 p_gimeno crazyR: you're not using 5.0.0, you're using 5.0.0-dev. That may change the format several times during development. Apparently the server and the client are using versions that differ in several commits, including one that breaks compatibility.
19:32 Krock offset = 1 should already spawn plenty of them
19:32 GreenDimond There is like zero doc on how the noise_params work btw
19:32 Krock noise_params are perlin noise parameters. they're the same everywhere
19:33 crazyR i didnt realise 5.0.0 and 5.0.0-dev had breaking changes....
19:33 Krock > https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L2584
19:33 crazyR thanks
19:33 GreenDimond Krock: Changing scale to 1 did nothing.
19:33 Krock crazyR: depending on which major features will be merged, there might be yet another protocol version which drops old 5.0.0-dev clients
19:33 GreenDimond All I can find is kelp.
19:34 Krock GreenDimond: this means that your decoration is filled with invalid data (if the mod gets loaded at all)
19:34 Krock ensure the node exists when you're registereing it
19:34 Krock i.e. depend on "default"
19:34 GreenDimond Wait
19:34 GreenDimond what
19:34 GreenDimond Why do I need default
19:34 GreenDimond Also, gist https://gist.github.com/GreenXenith/d61bb7a37718ae4895dd0abb9f2d42a8
19:34 Krock and register the decoration after the node definition
19:34 GreenDimond Yes I moved it to after the node def
19:34 GreenDimond Did nothing
19:35 GreenDimond And yes the mod is loaded
19:35 GreenDimond I can place the node manually
19:35 Krock depend on default because > default:sand < cannot be resolved otherwise
19:35 GreenDimond ahhhhhh
19:35 Krock 50% chance that it will solve your issue
19:36 GreenDimond Ayy
19:36 GreenDimond now it works
19:36 Krock lmao
19:36 Krock dat alien
19:36 Krock !next
19:36 MinetestBot Another satisfied customer. Next!
19:36 GreenDimond Ok new question
19:36 GreenDimond Is there any way to make a plantlike_rooted node have a texture spanning 2 nodes (tall)
19:37 Krock https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L1144
19:37 Krock no, you can't
19:37 Krock cube is a cube. 1x1x1 m
19:37 GreenDimond Yes, but the plant itself.
19:37 GreenDimond I want the plant on top to be 2 nodes tall
19:37 GreenDimond but have a single texture
19:37 GreenDimond unlike kelp
19:38 nowhereman joined #minetest
19:38 Krock ehm.. why don't you set param2 to 32?
19:39 GreenDimond because then that just tiles the texture
19:39 GreenDimond I want it 2 nodes tall with a single texture spanning both
19:39 GreenDimond imagine tall grass but plantlike_rooted
19:39 Krock then try > tileable_vertical = false
19:39 Krock in special_tiles
19:39 Krock otherwise I have no ideas
19:40 GreenDimond hm
19:40 GreenDimond that produces
19:40 GreenDimond an.. interesting
19:40 GreenDimond result?
19:40 GreenDimond Certainly not the behavior I expected
19:40 Fulgen- joined #minetest
19:41 GreenDimond it stretches the bottom pixel all the way up
19:41 Krock probably also not the intended use for this drawtype
19:42 crazyR anyone able to help me work out how to clone/downgrade to this commit: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/tree/81c06dea9b6b863e0c8f6a9c052a5cea3a130eab
19:42 crazyR git fetch origin 81c06dea9b6b863e0c8f6a9c052a5cea3a130eab   <-- ive tried that but guthub doesnt allow it
19:42 sfan5 you need git reset for that
19:43 Krock git reset --hard DESTINATION_COMMIT
19:43 Krock and 000000 might wipe your clone
19:46 Fulgen- left #minetest
19:47 Fulgen joined #minetest
19:47 crazyR git reset --hard 81c06dea9b6b863e0c8f6a9c052a5cea3a130eab   <-- this? says it could not parse object
19:48 crazyR am i right in thinking that the hash is the long string in the url?
19:48 puzzlecube joined #minetest
19:49 blaise interesting
19:49 crazyR hey puzzlecube.... my server will be back shortly. been doing some maintainance. and made a little bit of a mistake lol
19:50 sfan5 crazyR: try git fetch origin first, then git reset again
19:51 crazyR nope no luck :/
19:51 Krock it's just 30 commits but if you've got a really shallow clone, then you'll need to re-clone
19:53 crazyR it was a fresh clone....
19:53 crazyR il remove and try again.
19:54 puzzlecube I am guessing you must have run git pull and then been confronted with the protocol version having been changed. If not then I am telling you that is my situation and initiative to come onto this.
19:56 GreenDimond Krock: So Minetest segfaults without an error when I try to place a node with plantlike_rooted and an animation with an aspect of 1:16 and a 256x image..
19:56 Krock ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
19:57 crazyR \o/ fresh clone allows me to do it :D thanks guys
19:59 GreenDimond ok so apparently minetest doesnt like w < h aspects when using huge images
20:00 Krock !next
20:00 MinetestBot Another satisfied customer. Next!
20:03 puzzlecube um, never mind my issue, seems that minetest didn't like running in the repository directory but upon switching directories it has fixed itself, weird.
20:07 Krock well, if builtin changes, but the binary doesn't then it's easily possible to get breakages
20:07 Krock they must be kept in sync
