02:50 DogHackit Hi, everyone. Is "realtest" still a valid mod?
02:51 DogHackit I am trying to figure out if it is still maintained and worth pursuing. Thank you!
02:56 DogHackit Another question. What sould I pursue in minetest? Are there any mods that are suggested?

05:18 olliy joined #minetest
05:18 Emerald2 Yes.
05:19 Emerald2 I'm not familiar with Realtest, so can't help with that.
05:21 Emerald2 As for mods, DogHackit, it depends what kind of gameplay you're wanting.
05:21 Emerald2 When I play minetest, it's mainly on servers unless I'm testing a game.

07:19 DogHackit Emerald2: Thank you! I am basically looking for a Mincreaft clone that is maintained.
07:20 Emerald2 https://content.minetest.net/packages/Wuzzy/mineclone2/ might interest you.
07:21 Emerald2 That's a game for minetest.
07:22 DogHackit Thank you! Wuzzy made the Realtest one too. I wasn't sure if they were retired.
07:22 Emerald2 He's still actively working on things.
07:22 Emerald2 If you want mods and server suggestions, we got those too. :)
07:22 DogHackit OK. So, maube he s still working on Rrealtest too.
07:23 DogHackit Thank you again!
07:24 Emerald2 He will probably be in this channel in some hours.
07:25 DogHackit Right on. Thanks!
07:26 DogHackit It mmight be noce to get his rocammendation fo which one of his games is better to play :)

07:27 DogHackit I do enjoy realtest, but starting out is a pretty steep curve.
07:27 Emerald2 Mineclone 2 is the one I hear get recommended. I haven't any experience with it myself.
07:27 Emerald2 I prefer to play on servers. Singleplayer is boring. :)
07:29 DogHackit Yeah, but I am a n00b to this type of game play. Pretty casual. Just trying to learn the ropes before I go stomping into pub servers
07:30 gry yes, minetest is maintained
07:30 gry it does help to have someone helping you out; my relative shows me how to do things
07:31 gry but I don't remember having a particular 'game', we just use whatever the default is
07:31 Emerald2 Servers are usually minetest with mods. Some do run particular 'games' though, like there are Mineclone servers.
07:32 Emerald2 Mine stuff. Build stuff. Fight monsters (maybe, depends on server). Make machines on some.
07:32 DogHackit Yeah, I guess a "game" is considered, very basically, a collection of mods
07:33 Emerald2 'Game' tends to be more specific. Like Exile game isn't like a mod collection. It's about surviving through seasons, weather, monsters, exploring to find treasures.
07:34 Emerald2 Games tend to have a lot of their own code written for them, instead of just sticking together a bunch of already existing mods.
07:35 est31 joined #minetest
07:39 DogHackit Emerald2: Good point. I guess I oversimplified the idea. There are also objectives to most of the games, not just styles. Like I said, I am a n00b :)
07:40 Emerald2 We were all n00bs once lol.

15:08 Corey[m] @specing: Short answer, yes kinda, you'll actually composite several images together to form one using the ^ operator thingy, as for pixel perfect manipulation, you're tough out of luck
15:08 Corey[m] Unless we can suddenly ship server generated textures over the network

15:48 SwissalpS joined #minetest
15:53 Kimapr[m] as for pixel perfect manipulation you can use dirty hacks like using a white-pixel-texture and things like [combine and [multiply
15:55 Kimapr[m] actually there IS a way to dynamically send textures now, but i think you have to create new texture files on the server
15:55 sfan5 Corey[m]: you can actually https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/9961
15:55 Kimapr[m] and there is no way to unload or edit them (as previously)
15:56 Corey[m] ah so we can load additional media
15:57 begui joined #minetest
15:58 Corey[m] But, is there anyway to tell a client to unload a media file, otherwise I feel you could just keep sending files until you flood the client
