Time Nick Message 05:46 Neirdan To understand how minetest work, is it better to read an old version of the source file with less "added" code? 12:44 Neirdan Any dev here willing to answer my dumb questions? 12:45 PilzAdam c++ or lua? 12:45 Neirdan minetest related. 12:45 Neirdan Not just c++ 12:45 PilzAdam go to #minetest 12:45 Neirdan Minetest code related. 12:45 PilzAdam ask in #minetest 12:46 Neirdan I've heard that #minetest is for minetest (game) and here it's for dev part. 12:46 PilzAdam #minetest is for everything 12:46 PilzAdam and -delta is only for dev 12:47 Neirdan Well, I'm trying to understand the minetest code so, I guess here is the right place, is it? 12:47 PilzAdam you can ask here 12:48 PilzAdam but no questions like "How do i dig a node?" 12:48 Neirdan Nah, it's more like "what's the difference between a mapblock and a mapnode ?" 12:48 Neirdan I mean, I tried to dig game.cpp to find the part where it displays blocks but I can't find it. 12:49 PilzAdam a block is 72*72*72 nodes 12:49 Neirdan So it's a sector. 12:49 PilzAdam yes 12:49 Neirdan And from what I've understood, game displays map by sectors/blocks 12:50 PilzAdam dunno, im not a c++ coder 12:51 Neirdan Lua coder? 12:51 PilzAdam yes 12:51 PilzAdam and java 12:51 PilzAdam but thats not MT ;-) 12:52 Neirdan I downloaded the oldest version available (0.2) and there isn't Lua in it. 12:55 Neirdan So I don't know why there are bits of lua and what's their use in minetest. 12:55 PilzAdam do you play the game? 12:56 Neirdan Yep, I've checked it 12:56 PilzAdam only 0.2? 12:56 Neirdan Nah, 0.4 12:57 PilzAdam the API to add nodes and entities is in lua 12:57 PilzAdam in previous versions it was in c++ 12:57 Neirdan Performance issue? 12:57 PilzAdam modding; it is realy easy to create mods 12:58 Neirdan Okay, I see. 12:58 Neirdan Thanks for your anwsers, it helped a bit. 12:59 PilzAdam look at the forum 12:59 PilzAdam there are hundreds of mods 12:59 Neirdan I'm not interested in modding actually. 13:00 Neirdan I don't want to create another minecraft clone nor mod minetest.
