04:24 placeholder_name joined #minetest
04:28 placeholder_name So I've run into a wall, figuratively speaking. I've figured out how to change my character's skin, but not hand. How would I resolve this?
04:32 placeholder_name I know what file to replace, but I'm not certain as to how to make the hand match the look of the third person body.
04:53 MTDiscord <W​arr1024> If you have custom per-player skins then you'll probably need a coresponding custom per-player hand, which will also need to be registered at startup time
04:53 MTDiscord <W​arr1024> unlike player entities, nodes and wielditems have to be pre-registered
05:02 placeholder_name Yeah, unfortunately while I figured that out and found the hand skin, wieldhand.png, I don't know how to take the skin and make a hand matching in appearance.
05:05 placeholder_name Not sure the best way to phrase my problem, but in short, I'm not sure what the hand image should look like, where each pixel should go.
05:15 Menchers joined #minetest
05:20 MTDiscord <G​reenXenith> placeholder_name: If you use a mesh for the hand then you can just UV map the skin onto the hand mesh
05:21 MTDiscord <G​reenXenith> For my server I just used a cubic hand, similar to Minecraft .. easier to map
05:35 placeholder_name I think I figured it out and made it with GIMP, just need to load it up.
05:36 placeholder_name there was an attempt.
05:36 placeholder_name Can someone please show me an example 1st person hand? I can easily work from there.

15:24 specing Has anyone thought about a proper GUI library instead of the formspecs?
15:24 Taoki joined #minetest
15:24 specing something like SpringRTS's chiliui or freeorions libgigi?
15:25 specing the former is done in lua itself
15:25 rubenwardy none of the existing GUI libraries are any good
15:33 newbie joined #minetest
15:36 proller joined #minetest
15:37 specing rubenwardy: chili is not?
15:37 specing you've evaluated it?
15:38 rubenwardy I've evaluated quite a few, but not that one
15:38 rubenwardy it looks like it hasn't been updated since 2016
15:38 rubenwardy and there's only 16 stars
15:39 specing check gajop's repo
15:39 rubenwardy is this actually included in the spring sourcecode?
15:39 specing he's maintaining it
15:39 specing no
15:39 FeXoR1 joined #minetest
15:39 specing it's included in the game repos of the games that use it
15:41 rubenwardy there are two different problems that need to be solved - the API and the actual UI
15:41 rubenwardy formspecs are an API
15:41 rubenwardy they're currently implemented using the Irrlicht GUI library
15:41 rubenwardy a lot of the problem with formspecs is actually with formspecs and not Irrlicht GUI, although Irrlicht GUI isn't that great either
15:41 specing chili uses opengl api exported to lua
15:41 specing and provides an api of its own
15:41 rubenwardy yeah, but that only really helps on the client
15:42 specing hmm?
15:42 rubenwardy The Lua API almost definitely won't work over the net. That being said, it is good to have Lua bindings for the client - makes it easier to make custom components
15:43 rubenwardy I like the look of nanogui, I need to check it out some itme
15:45 rubenwardy if spring itself is still actively developed and they heavily depend on chiliui then that's good
15:48 rubenwardy The current plan is to pull in Irrlicht GUI into our code base - like supertuxkart
15:49 rubenwardy and have a Lua DSL API which uses JSON over the network
15:49 rubenwardy that would work best if we can pull in the work supertuxkart has done
15:56 specing rubenwardy: spring itself is just an engine. It provides a basic drawing API to games
15:56 rubenwardy So chiliui is a third-party library?
15:56 specing games ship chiliui/redui/... to provide a high-level widget api
15:56 specing yes, but no (it is developed by the same people that work on the engine and games)

19:49 MinetestBot Wuzzy: Sep-11 17:08 UTC <Krock> 2020-09-11 19:07:30: WARNING[Server]: Deprecated usage of statbar without size! (at minetest_hudbars/init.lua:232)
19:55 Wuzzy Krock: ?
19:56 Krock Wuzzy: ??
19:56 Wuzzy i hate this
19:57 Wuzzy Krock: also, can't reproduce. context?
19:57 Krock please give me your wayback time machine... I also need to figure out
19:57 Wuzzy lol
19:57 Taoki joined #minetest
19:59 Wuzzy i believe i already had this bug before, and fixed it since then. maybe u used an ancient version?
19:59 Wuzzy either that, or the bug crept back in
20:00 Krock clone up to date, commit 0684bac45b
20:00 Krock can reproduce with only hudbars enabled
20:02 Wuzzy thats not up-to-date ?
20:02 Wuzzy a250d2a350cbc20dac030437266ccb1f825d72c9
20:02 Wuzzy ↑ latest commit
20:02 Wuzzy latest version = 2.2.0
20:02 Wuzzy 2.2.2*
20:03 Krock Date:   Sat Jul 11 03:41:09 2020 +0200  Version 2.3.1
20:03 Krock the future is now
20:04 Krock v2.2.0 of hudbars was commit 2ffcd94
20:04 Wuzzy still not reproducible
20:04 Wuzzy mt 5.3.0, hb v2.3.1
20:05 Krock hudbars_bar_health.png  hudbars_bar_breath.png   are the images used for the HUDs.. probably a builtin problem then..
20:06 Krock no, "bar_size" is "Intentionally set to nil. For some reason, on some systems, the progress bar is displaced when the bar_size is set explicitly here. [...]"
20:06 Krock hmmm
20:07 Wuzzy well i DO set size to nil intentionally
20:07 Wuzzy 220 -- NOTE: Intentionally set to nil. For some reason, on some systems,
20:07 Wuzzy 221 -- the progress bar is displaced when the bar_size is set explicitly here.
20:07 Wuzzy 222 -- On the other hand, setting this to nil is deprecated in MT 5.0.0 due to
20:07 Wuzzy 223 -- a debug log warning, but nothing is explained in lua_api.txt.
20:07 Wuzzy 224 -- This section is a potential bug magnet, please watch with care!
20:07 Wuzzy 225 -- The size of the bar image is expected to be exactly 2×16 pixels.
20:07 Wuzzy 226
20:07 Krock yes thanks. I also found that. trying to figure out why that's a problem
20:08 Wuzzy so its an ugly workaround to an ugly minetest bug ? unless it got fixeed in 5.3....
20:09 Wuzzy i didnt get the warning tho
20:11 Wuzzy well the whole progress bar idea in hudbars is a giant hack anyway. I hope it can be moved to the engine one day. engine would be able to render progress bars much more accurately anyway
20:12 Krock except that the HUD API is a PITA too
20:15 Wuzzy haha.
20:15 Wuzzy what in Minetest is *NOT* a PITA?
20:15 Wuzzy ?
20:16 deltanedas joined #minetest
20:16 Krock player database migration
20:22 MTDiscord <J​ordach> Using mods that don’t sanity check for nil
20:22 MTDiscord <J​ordach> coughs in hud bars general direction
20:36 Wuzzy Jordach: I know. but i had no other choice in this case ?
20:37 Wuzzy I have the choice of either using a deprecated but functional mode, or a non-deprecated mode that is proven to break hudbars on Windows but not GNU/Linux...
20:38 Wuzzy i have long given up in finding a solution for that one, tbh
20:40 Jordach but windows dpi is now 9y
20:40 Jordach 96

21:05 Jordach yes
21:08 Wuzzy ohhhhhhhhhhh
21:08 Wuzzy thanks!!
21:08 Jordach what is reading the changelog
21:10 Wuzzy i did
21:10 Wuzzy but i must have forgotten about this
21:10 Wuzzy too many changes lol
