03:36 oil_boi       Hey sfan5 when you get the chance can you see if the capes flow better on your end, I just rewrote the skins mod which has the capes in it along with the new pr you merged for dynamic media loading. Also thanks for that, you did a great job!
03:38 oil_boi       Also, I am testing a new method where entities all use the same memory object for variables and it seems to insanely increase performance
04:22 dennisjenkins I've written a mod that works.  Following thr example in Ruben Wardy's modding book, I'm refactoring the code into testable units.  I repeated, the mod works.  However, the unit tests fail because when my mod calls "string.split", "string" is nil inside 'busted' (yet it is a valid table and string.split is a function inside Minetest).
04:22 dennisjenkins Also "print(dump(foo))" fail when ran under 'busted', as 'dump' is nil (works fine in minetest though).
04:23 dennisjenkins I assume that I need some magic lua incantation at the top of my mod source, but not knowing Lua well, I'm not sure.
04:55 dennisjenkins Ah, I see.  "string:split" is added my minetest; it does not exist in normal lua.  Then how are we supposed to unit test mods that use such helpers?
05:26 dennisjenkins I fixed the issue by doing a conditional import of "/usr/share/minetest/builtin/common/misc_helpers.lua" inside my "api.lua".  I'm now trying to handle the import inside "tests/api_spec.lua" instead, so I don't polute the API itself.
07:52 hecks         Tried compiling the server's scripts to speed up loading; minetest complains about "incompatible bytecode"
07:54 hecks         alright, never mind, I guess the version did change
09:37 hecks         Is it possible to make a world from the commandline?
09:42 hecks         what the actual fuck
09:43 hecks         whoops wrong window
09:44 sfan5         ?
19:10 oil_boi       How's that for optimized :D https://github.com/oilboi/Crafter/blob/master/mods/player_mechanics/eating_mechanics.lua
19:14 sfan5         i've seen people inline lots of function but I'm not sure it's really necessary
19:23 Krock         if you're already making them local, use direct functions rather than a table lookup in between
19:24 Krock         food_class.copy  vs  table.copy is negligible, if it even improves anything
19:29 oil_boi       Ohhh but I can keep all the food_class other stuff though correct? Since I need key look ups per player
19:30 oil_boi       When I run local test = data does that create new objects in memory then terminate them every step?
19:32 Krock         tables and functions will be copied by reference only
19:32 Krock         GC must clean them up afterwards, yes.
19:34 oil_boi       So if I assign a local variable before the scope of the function is defined "ie above" every step it will work from that same memory value over and over and not have to create-terminate?
19:34 oil_boi       Ie the same memory block in ram
19:37 Krock         that's called "scope", so yes.
19:37 Krock         same applies for basically all other sane languages
19:37 oil_boi       I can work with that
19:37 oil_boi       Let me see..
19:38 sfan5         ironically python has somewhat broken scoping despite being a good language other than that
19:45 thefamilygrog Hi, is it possible to modify something so that players are able to right-click on a protected node?
19:46 Krock         they can already do that when "interact" is granted
19:46 Krock         if it works for owners, then change the mods so that it fits
19:47 thefamilygrog Ah, okay. I'll have to look at that -- it's been a few years since I ran my last server. Hope you're doing well, Krock
19:47 thefamilygrog Thanks
19:49 Krock         np
19:49 Krock         !next
19:49 MinetestBot   Another satisfied customer. Next!
19:51 oil_boi       Ok how about this https://github.com/oilboi/Crafter/blob/master/mods/player_mechanics/eating_mechanics.lua
20:00 Krock         yes, that'll now save you 1us of execution time
20:00 thefamilygrog @Krock it looks like the protection mod I'm using is out of date
20:01 thefamilygrog It interprets every right-click as the player trying to place something, even if their hand is empty
20:02 thefamilygrog Sorry, spoke to soon, ignore that
20:07 ajonen8940    what is the other in game channel again?
20:07 ajonen8940    wrong chan. nvmd
