10:31 PilzAdam  hi
14:27 PilzAdam  celeron55, i was trying to add a function that register on node rightclick. But there isnt any function that does so. Can you add something like this?
14:28 PilzAdam  - first add +find
14:43 celeron55 hmm...
14:43 PilzAdam  its for the beds mod
16:07 PilzAdam  celeron55, what do you think about a lua function for the api like minetest.env:set_node_in_area(minp, maxp, node) that sets all nodes in the area to the node; if it was programmed in c++ it would run faster than lua loops
16:12 celeron55 PilzAdam: maybe, but probably needs a bit more consideration
16:14 PilzAdam  it would be realy helpful for magpen mods
16:16 celeron55 i don't think so; making large cubes doesn't make good maps
16:17 celeron55 really the only kind of map it'd be useful for is flatland 8)
16:17 PilzAdam  i was thinking of this...
16:19 MiJyn     celeron55, I sorry for the change of topic here, but I just want to let you know that I'm still working on the APIs :)
16:20 celeron55 APIs... umm... for what?
16:21 MiJyn     BTtoArch told you about the Mob API? I'm also making a blender exporter for that (so people can make a model in blender and export to .lua)
16:22 MiJyn     I'm also working on some other APIs (such as vehicles)
16:22 celeron55 well, i can only hope they're good :P
16:23 MiJyn     Relatively flexible :)
16:24 MiJyn     relatively=reasonably. It's not like as if you can make a mob that teleports you somewhere :P
16:24 celeron55 well i am pretty sure that is possible if the API is reasonable at all
16:26 MiJyn     well not now
16:26 MiJyn     it's still quite in alpha
16:27 MiJyn     I'll distribute it once I have it stable :)
16:27 celeron55 what do you aim for with it?
16:27 MiJyn     well, one will be able to create the MC mobs with it
16:27 MiJyn     plus the MC vehicles
16:27 MiJyn     and, of course, you could make an airplane
16:27 MiJyn     or a car
16:28 MiJyn     I'm making it so that a player can sit down (for now, it just "folds" the player image so that the bottom half of it is on X/Z and not on Y)
16:28 MiJyn     so people can make _real_ chairs
16:28 MiJyn     :P
16:29 PilzAdam  MiJyn, can i get pre alpha access to see the code?
16:29 celeron55 MiJyn: i am mostly interested in what *else* one can make with it, then
16:30 celeron55 "minecraft mobs" doesn't get any praise from me by itself
16:30 MiJyn     PilzAdam, no, it's private (you know, since (IMHO) it's a good idea, people are likely to steal it, etc... I had that happen to me many times)
16:30 MiJyn     I'll release it once it's working (and maybe make a teaser-video somewhere before :)
16:31 MiJyn     c55, It'll have LUA hooks so that people can make customized ABMs with them
16:32 Anchakor  steal an API? lol
16:32 celeron55 ABMs? lol what
16:38 MiJyn     Anchakor, people do that (at least they did that to me)
16:39 celeron55 but what can they do with the "stolen" code?
16:39 MiJyn     just pretend like as if _they_ did it
16:39 celeron55 people all the time "steal" minetest from me like that and make websites for their forks
16:39 MiJyn     and anyways, I want it to be private until I release it :)
16:39 celeron55 but i couldn't care less, because they never succeed
16:39 MiJyn     yeah
16:40 MiJyn     because minetest is already big
16:40 celeron55 and even if they succeeded, i would just happily retire
16:40 celeron55 altough i would make a fuss about they not crediting me...
16:46 NakedFury a mob api would be appreciated if we could make mobs not from mc
16:47 MiJyn     yeah
17:35 PilzAdam  celeron55, if you set damage_per_second in a node (like fire) and the player is with his feet in the node he gets damaged; but if hes with his head in the node he doesnt.
17:38 Calinou   IMO, the parts that damage you should be configurable
17:38 Calinou   10,0 = deal damage 5 hearts/sec, feet only, 10,1 = 5hearts/sec, head only, 10,2 = 5hearts/sec, both
17:39 PilzAdam  i dont like this idea
17:39 Calinou   why?
17:39 PilzAdam  if you have a block like fire or lava why should only parts of the player get damage?
17:40 Calinou   could be useful
17:40 Calinou   what about toxic smoke?
17:41 PilzAdam  okay, it would be useful in this case
17:42 NakedFury only parts getting damaged is useful for armor later
17:43 PilzAdam  but thats mostly damage caused by an entity
17:43 PilzAdam  and not a block
17:45 NakedFury also damage feet can slow your speed or ability to jump
17:45 NakedFury damage head can black out the screen
21:29 celeron55 thexyz: http://irc.minetest.ru/text.pl seems to be broken
