02:08 [][][][] joined #minetest
02:25 swift110-pi joined #minetest
03:03 epoch joined #minetest
03:04 epoch just noticed it looks like minetest5 is the default version in debian/sid now
03:04 swift110-pi oh
03:04 epoch guess I can't rely on debian to keep legacy versions around. :P
03:04 swift110-pi yeah
03:05 epoch I'll build my own 0.4 for the old servers I still need to connect to.
03:05 swift110-pi you would think they would be the main ones to do it
03:05 fenirskunk joined #minetest
03:06 fenirskunk Uhm which is better minetest.org or minetest.net and is there really a diff?
03:06 epoch there's a difference.
03:09 epoch .org is a version that has some extra patches on it
03:10 epoch but its base is probably a few commits behind .net's version
03:10 swift110-pi oh
03:10 epoch .net is the "official" version I guess
03:11 fenirskunk And this mintest old 5 they talk about is i guess old and not around?
03:11 fenirskunk It,s so confusing
03:11 epoch 5 is the current version for .net's minetest
03:11 fenirskunk Oh
03:11 epoch .org just calls their version 6 to appear ahead of 5 I think
03:12 epoch they're pretty much just parallel development afaict
03:12 fenirskunk Oh so can I use mods with either one then i hope!
03:13 TGS I didn't even know there was an .org lol. I'm gonna have to take a look at that now I think.
03:14 fenirskunk Eh i'll try both then if they are safe.
03:16 epoch are you using windows or linux?
03:16 fenirskunk Funny story I had this idea about using nasa's moon lidar scans as a map gen...like in 2014 never did it but someone got that same idea and did it in mintest. I wanna see it now.
03:17 TGS I prefer Linux myself, but as a gamer I have to use Windows for many of my games.
03:19 fenirskunk I'm using a toaster
03:19 fenirskunk With templeOS
03:20 epoch does it print out toast with Jesus on it?
03:22 TGS templeOS... isn't that the Christian/bible one?
03:23 fenirskunk I'm joking
03:25 TGS Damn, I was hoping I'd actually met someone that used that so I could ask them why lol.
03:25 epoch I've poked at it a couple times. It has some neat stuff in it.
03:25 epoch but it isn't a daily-driver
03:28 epoch the canonical version doesn't have any networking support
03:28 TGS Personally I use Fatdog 64 for workstation stuff, PuppyLinux (Of which Fatdog is a variant) for broader non-workstation usage such as Linux gaming and stuff. Then I use Windows for the games that simply have no Linux compatibility.
03:29 NathanS21 You probably want to avoid the .org site all together.
03:29 NathanS21 .net is the official site.
03:30 mransom joined #minetest
03:30 NathanS21 Unless you like getting nonsense spam email with threats and stuff.
03:31 TGS Eh?
03:32 epoch There's been drama between people on .net and .org
03:32 NathanS21 Ya, the guy that runs the .org site has a chip on his shoulder.
03:32 NathanS21 I've gotten death threats from him.
03:33 NathanS21 They don't bother me, as he has no idea where I live. He also doesn't know how to use BCC when emailing.
03:33 TGS That seems like a perfectly reasonable reaction lol. /s
03:33 NathanS21 So when he sends out his massive emails he shares everybody's email with everybody that gets the email.
03:34 fenirskunk Uhm pippylimux is the bain of my existence...it promises so much and then kinda messes it self after a few weeks of hard use idk why. I gave up went back to win7
03:35 NathanS21 He claims to have a better version of Minetest, but I doubt if that's the case. Look at the Git repo, I don't think he ever made a single commit to the engine. Just makes it hard to believe that now suddenly he'd be writing good code.
03:35 fenirskunk Old people....use ccn
03:36 NathanS21 Make your own decisions, but you've been warned. :)
03:36 NathanS21 Anyway I gotta run.
03:36 epoch I checked a specific bit of code for comparison
03:36 fenirskunk Eh nerds vs nerds..can't trust any nerds so meh i'll try both.
03:36 epoch he had an extra line that version 5 didn't have where a file got closed
03:36 epoch instead of left open
03:37 epoch so, there's at least *one* commit that changed something
03:37 fenirskunk I was wondering more about mod compatibly
03:37 TGS This is one of the things with open source though. Some asshat will take the public code, slap a few minor changes in it then call it a new "better" product.
03:38 fenirskunk Yeah mint is just Debian how darw they
03:39 TGS Just because there are differences doesn't necessarily mean he's personally made any commits. Could be other people contributing. Or could just be differences between versions. I've seen forks that stayed a few versions behind just to maintain compatibility with some separate aspect.
03:41 fenirskunk Maybe  they use svn
03:42 fenirskunk Anyhow i was just curious but two versions of the same thing
03:45 VanessaE no, it isnt like mint vs debian.  to be more accurate, more like debian "testing" versus a rebadged "oldstable" passed off as newer than "testing"
03:45 VanessaE that's the closest anaolgy I can think of
03:46 VanessaE analogy *
03:47 VanessaE (leaving aside maintainer personality/hostility)
03:48 VanessaE fenirskunk, you'd be well-advised to simply ignore the .org fork and its miantainer
03:51 VanessaE epoch, its base is *way* behind.  like over hundred commits behind master, by now, as .org's fork is just 0.4.17 or so, rebadged, with some stale pull requests merged in.
03:52 VanessaE (I don't know the exact numbers, so look 'em up if you're so inclined)
03:52 Nezrok joined #minetest
03:55 epoch I hadn't checked recently so I didn't know if .org had been merging .net's commits
03:55 epoch since not, then yeah, go with .org :P
03:56 epoch did any of the .net changes get put into the .org version?
03:56 VanessaE I doubt any new code from upstream will be merged.
03:56 VanessaE .org is old by intent, obsolete.
03:57 VanessaE Incompatible
03:57 epoch derp. I got .net and .org backwards
03:57 epoch swap them in the last like, 4 sentences I said.
03:57 VanessaE right.
03:58 VanessaE .org is out, use. net/upstream
04:03 fenirskunk Well if i say i should hate it...I guess I will.'idk
04:05 fenirskunk There needs to be a svn version of minetest then, svn stuff is aways stable compared to git projects...don't know why
04:05 fenirskunk So what mods are you all into? What,s a must have mod?
04:06 fenirskunk I hit mods on the site (.net) and i just get a googplex of mods in a database
04:06 VanessaE svn is no more stable than girl hg
04:06 VanessaE udhdududjdififirjenfud
04:06 VanessaE ...no more stable than git, cvs, hg....
04:07 VanessaE and yes ive used all four of those...
04:08 VanessaE if you want stable use the stable branch or a suitable tag
04:08 epoch try out some of the multiplayer servers
04:08 VanessaE I run 7 servers.....
04:08 epoch then press F5 and point at things to see what mods provide those things
04:08 fenirskunk Nah i'm a single Player. No thanks
04:08 epoch like, technic:concrete or something
04:08 epoch would be technic mod
04:09 epoch you can also see the list of mods a server has
04:09 fenirskunk ok ok technic mod, sounds neat
04:10 VanessaE but anyway, just get MT 5.whatever and Dreambuilder and all will be right with the world
04:10 epoch mesecons, digilines, pipeworks...
04:10 VanessaE Dreambuilder has it all.
04:10 VanessaE all the must-have mods.
04:10 epoch oh dang. that's a shitload.
04:11 VanessaE yep.
04:11 VanessaE :)
04:12 VanessaE and with that, I'm off.  bbl, maybe I'll sleep
04:12 epoch does it have a digiline keyboard?
04:12 epoch oh. g'night

16:56 kurtzmusch why chiantos deleted all his stuff from the forum?

17:01 jluc_ joined #minetest
17:18 codic 5.1.0 released on Sunday?
17:19 sfan5 possibly
17:21 codic Any other possible dates?
17:21 codic Is there a beta build for Manjaro?
17:21 codic If you dont wanna compile from source
17:21 codic sfan5:
17:21 sfan5 we only release RC builds for windows
17:23 codic Oh
17:23 codic Would anyone mid compiling for arch/manjaro?
17:24 codic sfan5: Or should I just compile from source?
17:24 codic I'd prefer a precompiled freeze build
17:24 sfan5 compiling from source is easy, so just do that
17:25 jluc__ joined #minetest
17:26 codic I've done it before
17:26 codic But on my relatively slow pc
17:26 codic It takes time
17:26 codic And I really want to try it
17:27 codic So...
17:27 codic compiled on any distro will work
17:38 kurtzmusch cmon it doesnt take long to compile
17:39 kurtzmusch why there is onlt release candidate 1 on the forums?
17:39 kurtzmusch obly*
17:39 kurtzmusch only*
17:40 rubenwardy Because it's not something that should be pushed to repos
17:41 kurtzmusch doesnt the title imply there are multiple candidates?
17:43 sfan5 helps telling them apart in case we have multiple
17:43 sfan5 but this time, we don't
17:44 kurtzmusch oh, i see

20:59 aldum hey guys
21:00 aldum any particular reason the water downward flow boost value is hardcoded?
21:21 codic aldum: Ok
21:23 sfan5 is it not changeable via physics overrides?
21:23 sfan5 or rather should't it depend on the gravity?
21:25 aldum bear with me, I'm new to this, but I found that liquid max_height and viscosity is definable in mods, but when it travels a strep down, this constant gets added to it, and that determines how far it will flow after that
21:25 aldum and every subsequent step down
21:26 sfan5 oh you're talking about something else
21:26 aldum I'm gonna take a step back: we had a problem with water
21:27 aldum it flows for 7 block
21:27 aldum s
21:27 aldum but if it flow down a step, it'll only flow for 5 after that
21:28 aldum I tracked it down to map.cpp:479 #define WATER_DROP_BOOST 4
21:30 aldum modified that to 6, rolled my own, and now water behaves consistently
21:33 sfan5 hm that should probably be configurable
21:33 aldum that's what I thought
21:34 sfan5 I don't get the described problem though https://0x0.st/zwK-.png
21:36 aldum this is the fixed one: https://i.gyazo.com/9a54f7bb29bd8753392438102ce58a61.png
21:38 aldum here's a closeup with a param2=5 https://i.gyazo.com/e45585ce76964567567a49d5464e0b99.png
21:41 sfan5 oh I think I get it
21:41 sfan5 anyway you should open an issue on github so that property can some day be made configurable
21:45 nepugia Is there some way for the register_ore call to specify ores in relation to the ground height? to make it spawn atleast say 10 blocks below the ground
21:59 aldum I'm gonna make a PR about it
