17:36 mitori    is MT being developed by anyone (community) and has regular updates (between a month and three periods) or is it only celeron who makes significant changes?
17:37 VanessaE  celeron55 is the main developer
17:37 VanessaE  but there are others who add code to it from time to time
17:37 PilzAdam  only c55 can push to the main repos, but i and some otheres have forks of the main game
17:38 PilzAdam  but the engine is mostly c55
17:38 VanessaE  yup
17:43 NakedFury there was viscand and marktraceur working on the code
17:43 NakedFury havent seen them in months
17:44 VanessaE  mark doesn't get on the channels anymore, but he does write on the forums every so often (his last post was just a couple of days ago)
17:44 VanessaE  vic, I haven't seen in ages.
17:45 Calinou   there's mattpt too
17:45 Calinou   mitori: feel free to fork it and add changes, and maybe allow some other people to fork
17:45 Calinou   commit*
17:46 mitori    uhm, alright
17:46 mitori    thank you
17:46 mitori    that helps :)
17:46 mitori    there was a 3d player patch
17:46 mitori    why wasn't it added?
17:46 PilzAdam  it was buggy
17:46 PilzAdam  and its old
17:47 mitori    ok
17:47 mitori    i'm not much of a coder myself
17:47 PilzAdam  and i dont like 3D players
17:47 VanessaE  and it was for a different fork of minetest that wouldn't have worked here anyway I think
17:48 VanessaE  bbl
17:48 mitori    is there a way
17:48 mitori    what?
17:49 VanessaE  bbl = be back later
17:49 mitori    to make animated sprites for entities
17:49 mitori    ok
17:49 PilzAdam  you have to code it yourself
17:49 mitori    or draw?
17:49 mitori    the thing is
17:49 PilzAdam  in the on_step method change the object_proberties
17:49 mitori    we already have torches
17:49 mitori    and water
17:49 mitori    and lava
17:49 PilzAdam  torches and water and lava = nodes
17:50 mitori    wouldn't the same, simple, way work on the entities?
17:50 PilzAdam  nope
17:50 mitori    :(
17:50 PilzAdam  its not supported engine side
17:50 mitori    ok
17:50 mitori    i can't code
17:50 mitori    and i don't have to learn to
17:50 PilzAdam  but as i said: change the obj_probs in on_step
17:50 mitori    i don't have time to*
17:51 mitori    hmm.
17:51 mitori    it isn't so simple
17:51 PilzAdam  you have a specific usage for it?
17:51 mitori    my idea, i mean
17:51 mitori    well, i just thought
17:51 mitori    that if people here are denying the idea of block-looking model
17:51 mitori    we at least can give animation to sprites
17:52 PilzAdam  if you get c55 to work...
17:52 mitori    lol
17:52 mitori    hardly
17:52 mitori    anyways
17:52 mitori    personally i
17:53 mitori    find it a bit rediculous to see 2d entities walk around in 3d world
17:54 PilzAdam  i like it
17:54 mitori    also
17:54 mitori    adam
17:55 mitori    why do you deny more-than-16px textures and sprites?
17:55 PilzAdam  IMO: it looks better and it also has to fit into the default game
17:55 PilzAdam  and default is 16px
17:57 mitori    better than 64px for example?
17:57 PilzAdam  yep
17:58 mitori    that's strange
17:58 mitori    ok
17:58 PilzAdam  why is that strange?
17:58 mitori    because
17:58 mitori    64px is supposed to be more detailes
17:59 mitori    it's hd
17:59 mitori    and stuff
17:59 mitori    detailed*
17:59 PilzAdam  hd ~= good
17:59 mitori    yeag
17:59 mitori    yeah
17:59 mitori    now that i come to think of it
17:59 mitori    about it*
18:00 mitori    there is a handful of tex packs which are 64px+ and are looking good
18:00 PilzAdam  IMO: no, they dont look good
