02:42 fling Hello!
02:44 kaeza Greetings!
02:47 swift110 hey kaeza
02:47 kaeza Heyo swift110
02:48 kaeza How's it going?
02:50 swift110 kaeza: pretty good and you?
02:51 kaeza It's going. Thanks. And good to hear :-)
02:58 scr267a joined #minetest
03:02 swift110 good to hear kaeza how long you been playing minetest?
03:04 kaeza I joined the forums on October 2012 IIRC, so from around that time.
03:07 kaeza I think it was 0.4.3 back then.
03:10 kaeza Player avatars we still 2D :P
03:11 * kaeza remembers the green wizard guy.
03:12 kaeza s/we/were/
03:20 argyle77 So I made this mod, https://github.com/argyle77/borders, which is not 100% original (so see the credits), and I'm gonna make a forum post.  It is more appropriate under Mod Releases, or WIP mods?
03:21 MinetestBot [git] rubenwardy -> minetest/minetest: Content store: Ignore '_game' in game names in ID generation (#8270) 85389ad https://git.io/fhFoa (2019-02-22T03:19:52Z)
03:23 milkt joined #minetest
03:23 kaeza argyle77: you post on WIP, then a moderator moves it if it's correctly formatted.
03:23 argyle77 Ok thanks kaeza!
03:24 kaeza Just ping me when it's ready.
03:26 argyle77 Thanks.  Never done this before.
03:30 swift110 oh wow cool kaeza
03:30 swift110 I havent played minetest in months

04:03 argyle77 Okay (cc: kaeza), there's the forum posting: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=22176
04:15 fling I've not played it for years!
04:15 fling Should I try? Any significant changes since old versions?
04:31 AceNovo https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=22173#
04:31 AceNovo but libpng12-dev -> libpng-dev; at least on recent Ubuntu
04:33 AceNovo Building on my SBC and converted cloudbook RN
04:33 kaeza argyle77: moved!
04:33 kaeza I edited a bit the title.
04:35 kaeza fling: lots of things, both large and small.
04:36 argyle77 Thank you much kaeza!

04:42 kaeza You are quite welcome :-)
04:44 kaeza In the future, use https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=10418
04:48 argyle77 Ok, thank you.  I will look into it.
04:53 fling kaeza: tell me more please :P
04:56 kaeza fling: start here https://dev.minetest.net/Changelog
05:07 AceNovo joined #minetest
05:11 fling kaeza: this is great!!
05:14 kaeza You will see some breakage during the transition to 5.0, though.
05:15 fling I've been writing eclass and ebuilds for installing 0.4 on gentoo
05:15 fling But my overlay is offline since then
05:15 fling And looks like now it is not needed anymore yay!
05:17 fling Can different mapgens be used in different areas?
05:17 sec^nd joined #minetest
05:18 fling Is there a good online map generator?
05:19 kaeza My guess is no, but ask paramat for a definitive answer.
05:20 kaeza There are several on the forums IIRC.
05:22 kaeza You could use <https://github.com/minetest/minetestmapper> and host the output images somewhere.
05:22 fling I always wanted something like dynmap -> https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/dynmap
05:23 fling kaeza: minetestmapper is not creating a proper js map for web usage. It is doing a single file.
05:26 kaeza There's some here https://wiki.minetest.net/Programs_and_Editors
05:27 fling kaeza: awesome!
05:28 kaeza Also this https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=14&amp;t=2896&amp;p=344092#p343997

09:24 milkt joined #minetest
09:25 TheDcoder nevermind, searched for full screen in the advanced settings :)
09:27 TheDcoder Hmmm... this is problematic, the game isn't fully full screen :-/
09:27 TheDcoder Maybe it is due to display scaling

11:39 slamvzla hello, is there's a form to teleport a mob if this one is some nodes away? (in code)
11:40 sfan5 if you have an entity reference in Lua you can just ent:set_pos(...) to move it somewhere else
11:41 rubenwardy ent.object:set_pos()
11:41 rubenwardy set_pos should be on the object, not the LuaEntity table
11:41 rubenwardy (which is what he meant anyway, just to clarify)
11:41 rubenwardy !book entit

19:13 lumberJ entuland, retesting rhotator. it makes so much sense and yet i'm so used to the default screwdriver mod :D
19:14 lumberJ nice work though. really should be the default
19:15 entuland eheheh
19:15 entuland I know, years of default screwdriver aren't easy to overcome :P
19:15 lumberJ i still remember the first time i was learning to use the screwdriver
19:16 lumberJ i got good advice to try it on a chair
19:16 entuland thanks for having a look into it, with a bit of practice it should come natural, although I admit there are some things that are tricky with the rhotator - in particular, pushing non-full blocks
19:16 lumberJ but its not logical at all
19:16 lumberJ entuland, yes, been using it on a one pixel thick wallmounded node
19:16 entuland in the latest version you have the option to use two variants, if you prefer the mouse button swapped
19:17 lumberJ its a bit tricky in that case, but its an edge case
19:17 entuland and there is a multitool where you can customize both the buttons and the action of the sneak key
19:17 lumberJ multitool to do what for example?
19:18 entuland it incorporates pushing, rotating, copying rotation and cycling memory modes
19:18 entuland the multitool ^
19:18 lumberJ nice
19:19 entuland just craft or give yourself one, then run /rhotator in the chat and see the options
19:19 entuland I don't recall the chat commands off the top of my head
19:19 lumberJ will do
19:19 entuland nice
19:20 lumberJ making a space colonization game
19:20 entuland advices, bug reports and considerations are all more than welcome
19:20 entuland interesting!
19:20 lumberJ yeah, will definitely consult with you if i come up with any changes that you might be interested in
19:20 entuland are you already sharing your repo with your ongoing work?
19:20 lumberJ no, its pretty barebones still
19:20 entuland okay
19:21 entuland hope you'll come up with something to share soon, so that you can also get other people testing it
19:21 lumberJ but i'll put it up in a git repo online once i have something worth sharking
19:21 lumberJ sharing*
19:21 entuland great
19:21 lumberJ just figure i might as well build everything from the ground up
19:22 lumberJ with the pending 5.0.0 release, theres never been a better time to build unique minetest games
19:22 lumberJ a lot of good mods to choose from to make something unique from minetest_game but still not having to do everything from scratch
19:37 benrob0329 lumberJ, YES, please make an original game. Do something different, do something new, take a chance!
19:37 lumberJ thats the idea
19:37 lumberJ certainly there is some inspiration/borrowing from other games
19:37 lumberJ but nothing based on a particular other game/movie
19:38 benrob0329 I'd say reuse existing modules, but don't just fork MTG
19:38 benrob0329 git submodules are beautiful for doing this.
19:41 lumberJ yeah, what is done well in mtg will be borrowed if needed, but i'm building everything up mod for mod/line for line
19:41 lumberJ being set in space, the game will be significantly different enough that forking mtg and adapting would probably be more work than just gathering the mods/sections of code i need
