07:35 sfan5     guess what i'm working on: http://i.imgur.com/XSp5D.png
14:06 celeron55 http://c55.me/random/2012-09/screenshot_2786899803.png https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/tree/meta_set_nodedef http://minetest.net/packages/nightly/minetest-0.4.3-4a11323-meta_set_nodedef-win32.zip
14:50 Calinou   nyancat stairs!
14:51 Calinou   btw: in the minimal warning you should probably add a shortened link to minetest_game's github
14:55 thexyz    Calinou: well, you should know, that's more than "nyancat stairs!"
14:56 Calinou   yeah... some kind of technical modding stuff; what can it actually do? can it "edit" the properties of an already placed node?
14:56 thexyz    yes
14:56 thexyz    you can minetest.env:set_node_with_def
14:56 Calinou   could be useful
14:57 thexyz    in meta_set_nodedef branch there's an example of tool which converts any placed node to stairs
15:15 celeron55 and yes, *any* node 8D
15:16 * Calinou converts all air blocks to dirt
15:16 celeron55 leaf stairs pipe stairs? DOOR STAIRS? no problem!
15:16 celeron55 they'll just look really funky
15:16 Calinou   AIR STAIRS
15:17 celeron55 somebody put that in a sepearate mod so it can be used easier with minetest_game
15:17 celeron55 8)
15:18 VanessaE  pipe stairs?  haha
15:29 Anchakor  how about lava stairs?
15:30 celeron55 should work
15:31 celeron55 or fire stairs
15:31 celeron55 hmm, but you can't make them
15:31 celeron55 you can't point at lava 8)
15:32 Calinou   with a bucket :D
15:33 VanessaE  celeron55: so did you settle on the idea that redefining a node creates a new node entirely (i.e. as register_node() does)?
15:35 celeron55 of course it creates
15:35 VanessaE  ok, just making sure
15:36 celeron55 and the definition is stored in the node instance itself, as metadata
15:36 VanessaE  You can be unpredictable at times ;)
15:36 Calinou   the current node definition limit is 65534, right?
15:36 Calinou   since there are "air" and "ignore"
15:42 celeron55 actually it's 4096 due to a leftover constant 8)
15:42 celeron55 it should be changed some day
15:46 VanessaE  well if you change it, go for overkill :-)
15:46 VanessaE  (so we can abuse the engine more :D _)
15:52 Calinou   thought 0.4.2 pushed the limit to 65534...
15:52 Calinou   since the node ID thingie was changed from 12 to 16 bits
15:52 celeron55 yes but there is a static table of node definitions, the size of which is 4096
15:52 celeron55 go over that and get a segfault
15:53 celeron55 i saw that only when i started to experiemnt with that branch
15:53 celeron55 ment*
15:53 celeron55 by the way, if the size of that static table is set to 65536, it will always consume at least 50MB of RAM
15:53 celeron55 maybe it should be dynamic 8)
15:54 VanessaE  agreed, then you can get insane with the actual limit :D
15:54 Calinou   how do you know it's 50MB? :P
15:55 Calinou   VanessaE, why does the unifiedbricks mod only work with 0.4.2 and not 0.4.1 then?
15:55 thexyz    Calinou: learn math
15:55 VanessaE  celeron55:  maybe it uses too many nodes?  dunno, I didn't write it :-)
15:56 celeron55 0.4.1's maximum is roughly 2000
15:57 VanessaE  GAH!
15:57 VanessaE  that was directed at Calinou.
15:58 VanessaE  stupid tab complete
16:02 Calinou   so it was doubled.. ok
19:50 VanessaE  celeron55: are you here?
19:52 sfan5     no
19:52 VanessaE  celeron55: please download http://digitalaudioconcepts.com/vanessa/hobbies/minetest/nc.zip and use those images to replace the existing nyancat.  changes:  rainbow has been recolored slightly - all pure saturation now.  All other colors adjusted.  Tweaks to tail section.  Newly-drawn face (still looks similar to the original, but clearly isn't).
19:53 VanessaE  license: WTFPL.
19:53 VanessaE  plus I think it looks "cuter" than the original :D
19:54 sfan5     nice textures
19:54 sfan5     i like the face :3
19:54 VanessaE  thanks :-)
20:18 M13       hello
20:34 Kray      VanessaE: celeron55: remember that there is no need to change the name
20:34 Kray      the author itself calls it "poptart cat"
20:49 celeron55 i know it
