02:56 Wuzzy hello. There will be a small party on the JT2 server soon. feel free to join the fun! (requires 0.4.17 client) ?

04:38 MTDiscord </g/> lol
04:38 MTDiscord <srinivas> > (requires 0.4.17 client)  or you can use my mtlaucher, the worlds only (afaik) launcher for minetest that has support for both 4.x and 5.x servers
04:38 MTDiscord <srinivas> :p
04:38 MTDiscord </g/> people still use 0.4.17?
04:38 MTDiscord <srinivas> debian 9
04:38 MTDiscord <srinivas> without backports
04:39 MTDiscord <srinivas> centos 7
04:39 MTDiscord <srinivas> centos 8
04:39 MTDiscord </g/> Ah yes, distro shenanigans
04:39 MTDiscord <srinivas> a whole lot of fun
04:39 MTDiscord <srinivas> come use arch, we got 5.4 on the day it was released
04:40 MTDiscord <srinivas> npm 7 in testing repos, it released about 10 hours ago
04:41 MTDiscord <srinivas> kernel 5.11.1
04:41 MTDiscord <srinivas> python3.9
04:41 MTDiscord <srinivas> must i go on?
04:41 MTDiscord </g/> any luck compiling a version 5 client or Server?
04:41 MTDiscord <srinivas> on linux?
04:42 MTDiscord <srinivas> tis a breeze
04:42 MTDiscord <srinivas> however
04:42 MTDiscord <srinivas> there may be library issues
04:42 MTDiscord <srinivas> so that can theoretically complicate things
04:43 MTDiscord </g/> pain
04:43 MTDiscord <srinivas> but worst case, you will need to pull manually
04:43 MTDiscord <srinivas> and compile
04:43 MTDiscord <srinivas> so the only thing you really need is a recent enough libc
04:43 MTDiscord <srinivas> and a bit of elbow grease
04:44 MTDiscord <Jonathon> why doesnt jt2 upgrade to 5.x? ?
04:58 MTDiscord <Jordach> the elephant in the room
04:58 MTDiscord <Jordach> android
04:58 MTDiscord <Jordach> mobile clients ruined minetest
05:00 MTDiscord joined #minetest
05:18 swift110 joined #minetest
05:28 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Not mobile clients, just specifically the never-official iOS version
05:29 MTDiscord <Warr1024> At least android can keep up with the current version, even if the controls are awkward
05:41 Flabb joined #minetest
05:51 Conradish006 joined #minetest
06:02 MTDiscord </g/> well on the contrary, mobile clients helped expand our playerbase in a sense
06:03 MTDiscord </g/> it just needs more tinkering

08:59 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> AFAIK JT2 runs on a highly modified engine, so after upgrade they would've to incorporate their custom c++ changes again

15:37 Rowowan joined #minetest
15:37 Rowowan Does Minetest not have mobs?
15:37 sfan5 you can install mods for that
15:38 Rowowan What about hunger?
15:39 sfan5 same
15:39 Rowowan Pardon me for asking, but if the features are present, why aren't they in base?
15:43 sfan5 first there's a distinction to be made between Minetest (the engine) and Minetest Game, which is probably what you are looking at
15:43 IceDragon At the end of the day, minetest is but an engine and doesn't assume any defaults outside of the bare minimum (and to remain lightweight to download), I assume by base you mean minetest_game, most mods should be compatible with it, and sfan5 beat me to it...
15:43 sfan5 the engine only provides the possibilities the games decide what to add and provide the content. now for why Minetest Game has no mobs, that's a complicated story
15:44 IceDragon short answer: mobs are hard
15:44 sfan5 if you were to download e.g. MineClone2 (another game for the Minetest engine) you'd find that it does have mobs
15:45 Rowowan Ooooh.
15:45 Rowowan yeah, I meant Minetest_Game.
15:46 Rowowan So, which is the closest Minecraft clone?
15:46 sfan5 MineClone2 has that exact goal
15:46 MTDiscord <Jonathon> mineclone2, or crafter
15:47 MTDiscord <Jonathon> crafter is pretty much dead and the some parts of it have been merged/worked into mineclone2
15:50 Rowowan Okay, cool.
15:50 Rowowan So, what exactly does contributing to MineTest itself mean?
15:56 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Contributing to minetest would generally involve making and publishing mods, and eventually games, and/or making engine improvments.

16:55 adfeno Hi, how does strict_protocol_version_checking compare "old clients" ?
16:56 adfeno Is it using the full version number, major.middle.minor or does it let 5.x.x clients connect to 5.3.0 ?
16:57 erstazi joined #minetest
17:02 rubenwardy protocol numbers
17:04 adfeno Ah, OK
17:04 adfeno So it differs from version number
17:04 adfeno (I meant, it users protocol numbers instead)
17:04 adfeno Thank you ;)
17:10 tech_exorcist with some code editing, would it be possible to connect a 5.4.0 client to a (yes, this is oddly specific) 0.4.14-dev-719bd6b server? (which is actually a spheretest server; it turns out that you can connect 0.4.something stock clients to spheretest servers, and sphreretest clients to 0.4.the-same-something stock servers)
17:24 Conrad2 joined #minetest
17:28 delta23 joined #minetest
17:31 rubenwardy you'd need a lot of code editing, tech_exorcist, we intentionally broke network compat to simplify code
17:32 MTDiscord <Jonathon> 4x connecting to 5x has already been done
17:33 MTDiscord <Jonathon> Altho thats flip of what you want
17:34 Conradish006 joined #minetest
17:35 tech_exorcist rubenwardy, ok
17:35 tech_exorcist @Jonathon, how has it been done though?
17:36 MTDiscord <Jonathon> See any multicraft2.0 server on the serverlist
17:38 MTDiscord <Jonathon> Tbh, seems like it would be easier to make the sphere stuff work in 5x than trying to go backwards
17:38 MTDiscord <Jonathon> But im i dont know much about the sphere
17:39 MTDiscord <Jonathon> *but i
17:41 twoelk going forwards should be more rewarding than going backwards
17:52 Talkless joined #minetest
18:09 adfeno Hi there, which connections does servers.minetest.net make to announced servers?
18:09 adfeno (whether it's ICMP, UDP/TCP and port number)
18:12 sfan5 udp to the port your server is running on
18:14 adfeno Ah, thanks ;)

18:49 tech_exorcist I meant the part that contacts servers, sorry for misexplaining
18:49 tech_exorcist :-)
