00:01 VanessaE oil_boi_minetest: very nicd
00:01 VanessaE oil_boi_minetest: very nice
00:01 oil_boi_minetest VanessaE, Thank you :D
00:02 VanessaE next up, make them able to link together :)
00:04 oil_boi_minetest That's the idea! I'm going to be adding in a furnace minecart and chest minecart, which you can fill the chest with coal and it'll keep running
00:05 oil_boi_minetest But I have to work out the bugs first before I can even move onto that, also I have to make the staircase style rails for carts to roll up and down on!
00:06 VanessaE why not use the existing rails?
00:07 oil_boi_minetest Well this game is built from the ground up. But also they're boring and too glitchy, also I can't make elevator rails with them that go straight up
00:09 oil_boi_minetest But I miust go now, goodnight :D
00:09 p_gimeno oil_boi_minetest: very cool
00:09 VanessaE well, I suggest making it a mod that can work in minetest_game
00:09 VanessaE a LOT of people will want it
00:09 oil_boi_minetest Oh I'm sure I'll make a minetest_game version of it when I'm happy with it
00:10 VanessaE :)
00:10 p_gimeno oil_boi_minetest: have you considered that automatic_face_movement_dir is not working for you because they are constrained and can't rotate?
00:10 p_gimeno aww
00:10 p_gimeno !tell oil_boi_minetest have you considered that automatic_face_movement_dir is not working for you because they are constrained and can't rotate?
00:10 MinetestBot p_gimeno: I'll pass that on when oil_boi_minetest is around
00:31 p_gimeno yeah it's working fine here

02:40 Emerald2 Paramat sure likes wackadoo mountains. :P
02:43 Emerald2 Friend rolled up a new map. Carpathian. Has 'paramat' written alllllll over it.
02:49 paramat =) actually carpathian was written by someone else
03:01 Emerald2 Oh yeah? Who wrote it?

03:18 nonoesimposible joined #minetest
03:18 nonoesimposible joined #minetest
03:18 nonoesimposible I wonder if it has something to do with v6 vs v7 mapgen
03:19 nonoesimposible Because I made a new v6 map and found iron ores easily
03:19 nonoesimposible That said, I don't think I went below -50 in v7
03:21 paramat yes ores are shallower in mgv6
03:21 nonoesimposible that would explain it then
03:23 paramat Emerald2 see https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/6015 'vlapsley'
03:24 Emerald2 Thanks. :)
03:24 paramat the mountains inspired me to rethink how i generate mountains, i'm no longer so keen on insane 3D noise mountains like in mgv7
03:26 paramat carpathian mountains are mostly 2D noise with just a little 3D noise added to create occasional overhangs and holes, and very few floaty bits
03:27 Emerald2 Snowdrift is cool. :D

10:59 p_gimeno oil_boi_minetest: I tested and it was working, so that's likely the explanation
11:00 oil_boi_minetest p_gimeno, what is the exact code you used for your entity? Maybe I'm missing an initial variable needed for it??

11:30 p_gimeno oil_boi_minetest: I tested with mobf_core. The mobs rotate to face the direction they're going. I then edited it, forcing the setting to false, and they no longer rotate.
11:31 p_gimeno oil_boi_minetest: maybe you also need to set automatic_face_movement_max_rotation_per_sec
11:36 oil_boi_minetest p_gimeno, damn I thought that would have worked. Maybe it's just that I'm using a b3d model :T
11:42 p_gimeno I'm pretty sure the model type has no influence on the setting
11:47 oil_boi_minetest p_gimeno, I've tried everything but I dunno https://github.com/oilboi/alpha/blob/master/mods/minecart/init.lua ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
11:48 oil_boi_minetest I don't see what I'm doing wrong
11:49 p_gimeno there's no automatic_face_movement_dir there
11:53 oil_boi_minetest p_gimeno, oh right I forgot to push the testing to github my bad

12:09 p_gimeno ok, I've made my own tests, setting this helped:

12:10 nowhereman joined #minetest
12:12 p_gimeno it seems to me that THAT setting is broken
12:12 JDCodeIt I saw some talk long ago about improving the networking part of MT - going to a library that supports compressible packets, reliably delivery. Is there anything on the roadmap in this area?
12:19 p_gimeno yeah, that setting is broken, just checked

16:43 trom_ Still messing with recolor nodes. Is it enough ?-  minetest.override_item("default:dirt", {palette = "mypalette.png",paramtype = "light",paramtype2 = "color"})
16:44 trom_ Then minetest.swap_node(pos, {name = "default:dirt", param2 = 155})
16:44 trom_ where 155 is color
16:46 p_gimeno sounds correct
16:52 p_gimeno strictly speaking, you don't need to override paramtype but it's OK either way

18:27 Wuzzy Where do the people live that have control over the minetest.net website, the Content DB and the forums.minetest.net?
18:27 Wuzzy Because if any of those live in the EU, the new EU Copyright Directive means serious trouble for you.

18:33 Andrey01 joined #minetest
18:33 Andrey01 hi, where can i find info about 'vector' table methods?
18:34 sfan5 in the documentation
18:34 Andrey01 what?
18:34 Unarelith joined #minetest
18:34 Andrey01 link please
18:35 p_gimeno Wuzzy: I don't think it matters where it's hosted, anyway: github already posted a warning many months ago because it is also affected
18:37 Andrey01 what`s a documentation?
18:37 p_gimeno Andrey01: lua_api.txt
18:37 Wuzzy p_gimeno: thats why i specificially asked WHO is hosting minetest.net :)
18:37 Wuzzy and not WHERE
18:37 p_gimeno Wuzzy: fair point :)
18:37 Wuzzy p_gimeno: actually, GitHub is out. they managed to get an exception for them
18:38 Andrey01 i did not find anything about that there
18:38 Wuzzy there are a few silly exceptions, like "code sharing platforms", "non-commercial online encyclopedias" (as if there would be thausands of them! XD)
18:38 sfan5 Wuzzy: github is not hosted inside the EU, nor by EU citizens; so by your logic, why would they be affected?
18:39 Fuchs joined #minetest
18:39 sfan5 Andrey01: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L2377
18:39 Wuzzy it is p_gimeno who started claiming that GitHub would be affected -_-
18:39 Andrey01 i`ve found it now
18:39 sfan5 well
18:39 Wuzzy i was just saying even IF GitHub would be on EU soil, they would not be affected anyway, as long they limit themselves to only "code hosting"
18:40 sfan5 the point I was trying to make is: it does not matter *where* or *who* hosts it, what matters is that the website/service (also) targets EU users
18:40 sfan5 though, if it's additionally hosted inside the EU/by an EU citizen that could mean even more rules to account for
18:40 Wuzzy well... if an American hosts a website, I doubt that Germany has the power to prosecute you for violating EU copyright
18:41 Wuzzy unless you believe in a world government ;)
18:41 sfan5 never heard of countries blocking pirate sites?
18:41 p_gimeno there are international laws
18:41 Wuzzy the copyright directive is EU-only
18:41 Wuzzy EU copyright directive*
18:42 sfan5 either way, what was the "serious trouble" you envision for Minetest websites due to the copyright directive?
18:42 Wuzzy that you are liable for the copyright violations of your users
18:43 Wuzzy you = whoever hosts it
18:43 Wuzzy the old method was notice and takedown. this era is now (almost) over
18:43 rubenwardy Wuzzy: contentdb is hosted in Canada, I'm in the UK
18:43 sfan5 weren't there exceptions for small and/or non-profit platforms?
18:44 Wuzzy yes, but minetest.net falls out of them :-D
18:44 Wuzzy if you are older than 3 years, the fulll force of the directive hits you
18:45 Fuchs joined #minetest
18:45 Wuzzy that's not the exact rule, but it boils down to this
18:46 sfan5 " The services covered by this Directive are those services, the main or one of the main purposes of which is to store and enable users to upload and share a large amount of copyright protected content with the purpose of obtaining profit therefrom, either directly or indirectly, by organising it and promoting it in order to attract a larger audience, including by categorising it and using targeted promotion within it. "
18:46 sfan5 i'm pretty sure a forum is none of that
18:47 Wuzzy look up "online content sharing service providers" in the directive under Definitions
18:47 Wuzzy that's the central definition
18:48 Wuzzy then, article 13) 4aa. https://juliareda.eu/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Copyright_Final_compromise.pdf
18:48 Wuzzy "whose
18:48 Wuzzy services have been available to the public in the Union for less than three years and which
18:48 Wuzzy have an annual turnover below EUR 10 million with
18:48 Wuzzy in the meaning of the Commission
18:48 Wuzzy Recommendation 2003/361/EC, the conditions applicable to them under the liability regime
18:48 Wuzzy set out in paragraph 4 are limited to the compliance with the
18:48 Wuzzy point (a) of paragraph 4
18:48 Wuzzy and to
18:48 Wuzzy acting expeditiously, upon receiving a s
18:48 Wuzzy ufficiently substantiated notice, to remove the notified
18:48 Wuzzy works and subject matters from its website or to disable access to them."
18:48 err404 joined #minetest
18:49 Wuzzy notice the "and"
18:49 sfan5 " ‘online content sharing service provider’ means a provider [...] whose main or one of the main purposes is to [..] give [...] access to a large amount of copyright protected works [...] for profit-making purposes. "
18:49 Wuzzy it's not enough if you make less than 10 million euros/year
18:49 sfan5 wish I could get a cut of this profit we're apparently making
18:51 sfan5 I know that 13) 4aa would include the Minetest project, but nothing we have even qualifies as "online content sharing service provider", so the rest is entirely irrelevant
18:52 rubenwardy ContentDB?
18:52 Wuzzy now the question remains what is a "profit-making purpose"...
18:53 sfan5 "not-for profiteducational and scientific repositories,open source software developing and sharing platforms" are excepted, rubenwardy
18:53 rubenwardy oh nice
18:53 sofar neat
18:54 Cornelia joined #minetest
18:55 twoelk left #minetest
18:56 Wuzzy well i would not trust these exceptions as they are very narrow
18:56 Wuzzy for example, what about texture packs which are clearly not "open source software"?
18:57 sfan5 well the whole idea is that you (as a "content sharing provider") have to get a license for the stuff you're hosting, otherwise you're liable
18:57 sfan5 if an user uploads something with an explicit (FOSS) license, what is there left to do?
18:58 Wuzzy i keep wondering, are you actually in favor of the directive?
18:59 sofar I keep wondering, are you actually in favor of debating everything? :)
18:59 Wuzzy what is that supposed to mean? o_O
18:59 sfan5 no, I am not in favor of the directive, however I think the turmoil around this directive is often overblown, panic-inducing and misleading
19:00 Wuzzy are you a lawyer?
19:00 sfan5 I don't know, are you?
19:00 Wuzzy you don't know??? XD
19:00 Wuzzy no, but i listened to other lawyers and academics, and the vast majority is opposed
19:00 sfan5 "assume everything is on fire until a lawyer says it isn't" is not a reasonable position either, if you ask me
19:01 Wuzzy i dont assume that everything is on fire...
19:01 Wuzzy Minetest doesn't make a single penny in revenue, doesn't it?
19:01 sfan5 correct
19:01 Wuzzy hmmm i wonder if that's enough of an excuse...
19:02 sofar it justs costs
19:04 Wuzzy do you speak German?
19:05 Wuzzy sfan5: do you speak German?

19:32 Ethernity-1 joined #minetest
19:33 Ethernity-1 Hello. I was wondering if ther is a common 'superpack' of mods and tweaks on github.. somethings that combines  mods into a single download.
19:34 rubenwardy dreambuilder
19:34 rubenwardy warning: will slow minetest down a lot
19:34 rubenwardy not for the faint hearted
19:34 sfan5 modpacks do indeed exist, the question is what exactly you want
19:34 Wuzzy sfan5: und selbst wenn die EU-Urheberrecthsreform doch noch scheitern sollte, der EU-Terrorfilter ist schon auf dem weg...
19:35 Ethernity-1 Thanks for the quick response. Do the combine similar functions or is it just multiple code packs?
19:35 sfan5 nri: are there any mods that might influence spawning?
19:36 sfan5 Wuzzy: Die Entwicklung bzgl. Internet"regulierung" von sowohl Seite der Bundesregierung als auch der EU ist besorgniserregend, ja
19:37 Wuzzy ich halte es ehrlichgesagt auch für ein bisschen naiv, dass minetest.net "shcon nichts" passieren wird. immer wachsam bleiben. :)
19:37 nri sfan5: spawnpoint is one but that is set to 2027,17,179 and it works
19:38 galaxie ls
19:38 Wuzzy minetest.net ist auch mittlerweile eine seltenheit mit der totalen werbefreiheit. ein werbebanner und zack, trifft dich garantiert die ganze härte des gesetzes
19:38 sfan5 nri: and which mod provides /spawn?
19:38 Ethernity-1 Im actually kinda interested in a modpack that influences  adventure and creativity in younger children.
19:39 nri sfan5: spawnpoint provides /spawn
19:39 sfan5 oh

23:06 VanessaE a separate "animation" segment maybe?
23:07 p_gimeno looks like that's right, thanks!
23:08 VanessaE cheers :)

23:40 Fixer p_gimeno: does it mean stairs now rotate correctly?
23:43 BillyS Is there a "register_on_oldplayer" function so to speak?
23:43 BillyS register_on_joinplayer can't distinguish between new players and old players
23:43 BillyS (I already know about register_on_newplayer; it doesn't fix the issue)
23:45 p_gimeno Fixer: if you mean with worldedit, yes
23:45 Fixer p_gimeno: yes, nice!
23:45 p_gimeno Fixer: but only when using //orient, so if you want to rotate 90° horizontally, you need to //rotate y 90 then //orient 90
23:47 p_gimeno not sure why but these are separate commands
