05:25 Guest43986 has anybody tried to run minetest on raspberrypi
05:29 jyfl987 i think it might could
05:29 jyfl987 i have a ac100 smartbook, which have a tegra2 inside
05:29 jyfl987 will test if i could run minetest on it after work
05:30 CiaranG joined #minetest-delta
05:31 jyfl987 celeron55: could a linode 512mb ram vps run minetest server?
05:41 celeron55 if it has enough CPU power, easily
05:41 celeron55 the minetest server mostly just eats CPUs like some CPU-eating monster
05:43 celeron55 jyfl987: it'll likely work fairly well, but we'll see
05:43 celeron55 on the ac100 i mean
05:44 celeron55 (the two upper lines were about linode, the two lower were about ac100 :P)
05:44 jyfl987 celeron55: well i was thought that server would eat much more RAM
05:44 celeron55 it doesn't use much memory at all
05:45 jyfl987 celeron55: and i found that when clients network laag, like i am in china , and yesterday i connect to redcrab's server on amazon ec2
05:45 celeron55 i don't think it ever goes above 200M, barely 100
05:45 jyfl987 celeron55: i can see the block load and unload
05:45 jyfl987 celeron55: that's good
05:46 jyfl987 celeron55: i mean why not trigger the block load just before player enter to the block next to border?
05:46 celeron55 about the laptop with the tegra2 chip: it's GPU seems to be some OpenGL ES thing
05:46 celeron55 i have no idea what that means in terms of minetest and irrlicht
05:47 celeron55 i guess it can do regular opengl too with possibly the drivers doing the wrapping
05:47 jyfl987 yep, i can use SDL on that machine
05:47 jyfl987 so i think maybe irrlicht could work with opengl es
05:47 celeron55 ehm... SDL is mostly a software-only library
05:48 celeron55 minetest requires some actual 3D HW acceleration to work reasonably
05:48 jyfl987 sdl could use any possible hardware optimization
05:48 jyfl987 just use soft impl when it couldnt found the match library support
06:07 MiJyn lol yeah
06:08 MiJyn it'd be quite hard to write the 3D stuff though
06:08 MiJyn all kinds of raytracing
06:09 jyfl987 and the light system seems has bug
06:09 jyfl987 if you head downside, and quickly head upside, you'll found the light toggling
06:09 jyfl987 but in physic world, it should dont have differences
06:23 VanessaE that does raise a question - why DOES the game do that anyway?
06:28 jyfl987 when i head downsize, the light change which let me thought it turn to night
06:29 VanessaE yes, I've seen that effect
06:29 VanessaE oh well, I always assumed it was deliberate
06:29 jyfl987 VanessaE: and the block chunk loading effect, have you saw that?
06:29 VanessaE you mean where blocks change from dark <-> light if you suddenly spin around
06:29 VanessaE kinda randomly I mean
06:30 jyfl987 VanessaE: nope, i mean the loading
06:31 jyfl987 VanessaE: when you enter a border chunk, it will load the neighbor chunk on the forward
06:31 jyfl987 so you could see one chunk loaded while another chunk not load
06:31 VanessaE joined #minetest-delta
06:31 VanessaE oops
06:32 VanessaE I'm not sure I understand what you mean though
06:32 VanessaE no matter, I'm too tired to really grasp it now.  Good night.
06:32 VanessaE :-)
06:33 * VanessaE wanders off to bed
06:34 jyfl987 VanessaE: ok i'll gave a screenshot when i met that
06:36 celeron55 the light changes that way to make large caves dark on shorter rendering rnages
06:36 celeron55 ranges*
06:36 celeron55 or if world data hasn't been loaded yet
06:37 celeron55 it sometimes looks a bit silly, but it's kind of hard to guess what the background should look like
06:37 celeron55 minecraft does it even worse
06:38 celeron55 if you go in the shade of a tree, the sky turns darker
06:38 celeron55 at least when i last played it
06:39 Calinou joined #minetest-delta
06:40 celeron55 minetest basically tries to determine if you might see the sky through anywhere through the rendering limit where you're looking at, and if so, it'll make it look like sky; otherwise it will make it look like the background of a cave at the guessed light level
06:43 jyfl987 celeron55: what time do you last play minecraft?
06:43 celeron55 the algorithm in minetest is 100% independent on any map generator properties or anything, it's solely based on the downloaded world data as is
06:44 celeron55 jyfl987: dunno, at least roughly at the end of beta
06:44 jyfl987 celeron55: how about re-playing that to got a new experiences?
06:44 celeron55 altough i don't remember if it had that then
06:45 jyfl987 i didnt found minecraft has that problem , maybe i play the new version
06:45 celeron55 minecraft stopped working on my laptop sometime when it became beta
06:45 jyfl987 it might be the memory stuff :]
06:46 jyfl987 celeron55: and does minetest support to use minecraft's texure?
06:46 celeron55 i enjoyed it most a at the end times of alpha, after the summer of 2010
06:46 celeron55 and then i started minetest
06:46 jyfl987 there's so many good looking 3rd party texture for mc
06:46 Calinou jyfl987, he didn't even buy the game, iirc
06:46 celeron55 i have bought minecraft
06:46 jyfl987 Calinou: i didnt eigher
06:46 Calinou ah
06:46 celeron55 but didn't buy it back then
06:46 jyfl987 Calinou: i am a chinese, so you could guess
06:47 jyfl987 i was thinking if we could use the anti-alias tech to make the world looks more smooth?
06:48 celeron55 i bought it with donation money some time after it became beta as a thanks for the inspiration and the week of fun gaming
06:48 Calinou let's also use quantum computing to generate the world too
06:48 Calinou jyfl987, you mean, having a non-cube world? just no
06:48 Calinou having any kind of non-cube world is probably impossible - what when you want to build/mine?
06:49 celeron55 being all cubes is the point of minetest; nobody needs to worry or should wait for that to change
06:49 jyfl987 Calinou: nope just make some block looks more smooth
06:49 jyfl987 Calinou: its the looking effects
06:52 Calinou won't that slow the game down?
06:52 Calinou smoothing the blocks was proposed a while ago
06:52 celeron55 jyfl987: what kind of smoothing you are talking about; that isn't clear at all from what you've said
07:01 jyfl987 celeron55: the mountain look
07:01 jyfl987 celeron55: and the tree

17:56 jyf1987 VanessaE: remember the loading problem? i just got two screnshot http://imgur.com/a/XOVNB  cc celeron55
17:58 VanessaE I don't remember the content of that conversation actually.  What was he trying to point out in these images?
