Time Nick Message 00:03 rubenwardy I should add a warning about that 00:06 rajmahal Another question, does fly mode exist as default mod, or is it built in to mt.modbase.mtgame? 00:08 rajmahal I have looked in mods, but do not see. 00:11 nephele either it's in builtin or the engine 00:11 nephele but i highly suspect it is the engine 01:03 jonadab Hmm, I wish we could get more of the mod authors/maintainers onto freenode. Having conversations on the forum is awkward when it's down so much. 01:03 jonadab Though I do appreciate the value of being indexed by Google. 01:06 Lone_Wolf Which authors are you talking with? 01:25 cheapie Would anything Really Bad™ happen if I was to allow players to set any formspec they wanted on a particular node, possibly with a length limit? It's more or less my understanding here that malformed formspecs shouldn't crash anything. 01:31 Lone_Wolf I think malformed formspecs to crash things 03:05 tf2ftw_ hi 03:06 tf2ftw_ I'm trying to craft a tnt stick but its not working. I've followed the recipe in the wiki and I have TNT enabled but nothing.. any ideas? 03:48 tf2ftw_ I tried installing TNT from the mt_game repo and still the same issue. 03:48 tf2ftw_ Anyone else having that problem? 03:54 VanessaE you have to enable it in your minetest.conf 03:55 VanessaE i.e. in the "Settings" tab, as well as in the world "Configuration" tab (which you did) 03:56 VanessaE it'll be in "All Settings"; search for "tnt" 03:56 VanessaE https://imgur.com/X4c4yvs.png 03:59 tf2ftw_ VanessaE, ahh thanks. I'm running MT server and didn't think to look in the conf. I thought the base mods where enabled by default. 04:00 tf2ftw_ VanessaE, hmm, I'm not seeing it in mintest.conf on my server 04:00 VanessaE :) 04:00 VanessaE it won't be in there by default 04:00 VanessaE just write it inb 04:00 VanessaE -b 04:00 Guest41637 tnt and fire are disabled when in server mode 04:00 VanessaE ^ but they can be explicitly re-enabled. 04:00 Guest41637 ywa 04:00 Guest41637 yes 04:01 tf2ftw_ I see. Sorry I missed that in the docs.. Is that doc-ed someplace? 04:01 VanessaE yes, but don't ask me where, all you'll get is a lie, or a vague handwave at best :) 04:01 tf2ftw_ ha 04:02 tf2ftw_ so the setting should be enable_tnt = true \n enable_fire = true 04:02 tf2ftw_ ? 04:02 VanessaE well..for tnt yeah 04:02 VanessaE but you don't want fire. 04:02 tf2ftw_ no? 04:02 VanessaE unless you don't mind burning down entire continents :P 04:03 VanessaE (Unless the mtg devs have since limited the spread of a fire that is) 04:03 Guest41637 I think the options in the config are enable_tnt and enable_fire but Im not sure atm 04:03 tf2ftw_ haha. 04:04 Guest41637 haha, yes I burned entire forests in singleplayer, that's why they are disabled by default in server mdoe 04:05 tf2ftw_ ah that makes sense 04:05 tf2ftw_ I got the it working. Thanks!

Or does that require modifying the game's code? 11:15 rubenwardy Myron: who's controller who? 11:15 rubenwardy player-controlling bot: yes, attach the player to an entity and move the entity 11:15 rubenwardy player controlling a bot: yes, use an entity as normal 11:17 Myron Player-controllong bot. 11:20 Myron Baritone is a pathfinding bot - you can type a coord and it will control the player to walk there. So theoretically something like that is possible with minetest mods? 11:20 rubenwardy yes 11:20 Myron I see 11:36 appguru So how long are the forums expected to stay down? 11:36 heavygale until it's done - i guess 11:36 appguru Why didn't I think of that! 11:36 heavygale can't tell that :D 12:04 Danil_Dm Hello from Russia 12:05 Ingar with love 14:19 tf2ftw Hi 14:19 heavygale hi 14:41 ANAND hI 14:42 appguru HI 14:44 ANAND You noticed :D 14:45 orbea how would I tell if a player is underground? And say not just in a big hole (With sky access)? 14:46 ANAND You could perform a raycast up to a certain high y-limit and check for non-air nodes 14:46 rubenwardy the light level won't be 15 14:46 rubenwardy daylight 15 = exposed to the sun 14:46 orbea but that wouldnt work at night? 14:46 ANAND Even if a solid node is way above? 14:47 rubenwardy you can get the daylight during node 14:47 rubenwardy and no, it doesn't work with a solid node above but neither day a raycas 14:48 celeron55 the forum is up now and should work 14:48 ANAND The raycast would work with the assumption that there wouldn't be any nodes above the given y-value - not particularly accurate, but should work most of the time 14:48 ANAND Oh nice 14:48 ANAND Glad to know the problem's solved 14:49 orbea the raycast seems like a potentially good idea, thanks 14:49 rubenwardy the raycast is much worse than checking for sunlight 14:49 rubenwardy it has no benefit and is much much slower 14:49 orbea but I need it to work at night 14:49 rubenwardy orbea: daylight exists during night 14:50 rubenwardy it doesn't forget the daylight 14:50 ANAND Really? 14:50 orbea oh, i misunderstood 14:50 rubenwardy it just doesn't render it 14:50 ANAND o_O 14:50 rubenwardy forgetting it would be incredibly wasteful 14:50 orbea given that then I guess I'll try light level :) 15:02 p_gimeno do you need it to distinguish being inside a building from being underground? 15:04 orbea no 15:23 Lone_Wolf https://i.imgur.com/X2RyQSE.png 15:24 rubenwardy I have also been banned 15:25 * behalebabo is b& 15:25 Lone_Wolf lol 15:27 Wuzzy what' the timezone for the forums? 15:28 sfan5 probably UTC 15:28 Lone_Wolf You banned too? 15:28 Wuzzy yes ? 15:29 Wuzzy spam database 15:29 Wuzzy at least we know the reason for the forum slowdown now 15:30 Wuzzy apparently some crawler from China accessed a very high number of random urls, keeping the server busy 15:30 Wuzzy must be a pretty large ip range too 15:30 rubenwardy it was a big subnet 15:31 appguru glad it's fixed now :) 15:31 appguru although the new "modern" forum theme doesn't look too well 15:32 rubenwardy the padding seems off to me 15:32 appguru yes 15:32 appguru so much wasted space 15:32 appguru was far more compact before 15:33 appguru that space would be better used for an acceptable font size 15:33 Lone_Wolf Can't make a Stylus theme to change that? 15:33 freelikegnu wow the forum is bonkers: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YxR8WmTnvh/ 15:33 rubenwardy I think there isn't enough space 15:33 rubenwardy the header is too big and the space around posts isn't enough 15:34 appguru both header & footer are too big 15:36 Wuzzy Btw I agree that CloudFlare is the pest. it seems they are everywhere in the WWW right now, it's very scary 15:36 Wuzzy nobody should have that much power over the net 15:36 appguru lol 15:36 Pest what 15:37 texmex I’m banned too xD 15:37 appguru you should probably get another nick Pest 15:37 Pest no 15:37 appguru well, then expect some mentions... 15:37 Wuzzy LOL 15:37 freelikegnu are we going to be banned every time we vist the forum? 15:37 Walker "You have been banned from this board until Wed Apr 29, 2020 16:21." ... wait what !? 15:37 Pest should i prepare for unforseen consequences? 15:38 Wuzzy no 15:38 Walker what can i have done WHILE THE FORUM WAS OFFLINE !?! 15:38 Walker lol 15:38 Wuzzy don't worry 15:38 rubenwardy malfunctioning software meaning that everyone has been baned 15:38 Wuzzy it seems celeron55 has banned a very large ip range 15:38 Walker ok i see 15:38 Lone_Wolf I always knew you two were the people spamming the forums >:( 15:38 * Lone_Wolf was also banned 15:38 Walker everyone is banned xD 15:38 appguru probably just celeron55 banning *.*.*.* 15:38 Wuzzy the reason for the forum slowness was apparetly a rogue cralwer from china which made a very high amount of requets in a short time 15:39 Wuzzy i guess c55 is busy fixing it right now 15:39 appguru most likely 15:39 appguru is crawler really the right term for that? shouldn't it be called botnet? 15:39 appguru or ddos? 15:40 heavygale uh, no longer banned 15:40 appguru apparently it's 15:40 UTC rn 15:40 appguru oh yay unbanned as well 15:40 appguru thought I'd have to wait another 40 mins 15:41 Lone_Wolf I'll let you update the Discord ruben lol 15:42 Walker yay, it works now ^^ 15:42 Walker thanks c55 ^^ 15:42 Walker but th enew theme ... 15:42 Walker is not "so nice" 15:42 Walker xD 15:42 Lone_Wolf ~~Imagine not having a custom theme~~ 15:43 appguru Lone_Wolf: expects Markdown to work on IRC 15:43 appguru I actually once wanted to make an IRC client supporting MD 15:43 Wuzzy in b4 soeone writes "# trololo" 15:43 appguru Walker: set the size to 120%, then it looks acceptable 15:44 appguru or probably 110%, 120 is a bit large 15:45 ANAND I notice some extra polish in the UI 15:46 ANAND But GD's dark theme seems to be broken 15:49 freelikegnu long live the minetest forum! 15:50 Lone_Wolf GD isn't up yet. Gonna roll my own dark-green theme 16:16 orbea so instead of just checking the light level, I need to check it for every position within a range of positions and only return early from a function if not a single node within that range has a light level of 15 (sunlight).
