00:01 kahrl hmmmm: I don't know if there really are those spikes, I haven't tested it
00:02 kahrl I share PilzAdam's fear, too
00:49 Exio4 what if we 'wait' for sapier's "client-side lua"?
00:49 Exio4 iirc it was the next thing in his todo queue/list
00:51 kahrl really?
00:51 Exio4 he said that :P
00:51 kahrl I thought it was a distant goal
00:52 Exio4 we need a 4days rain over sapier's city
00:52 Exio4 that is how the formspec menu was born!
00:52 kahrl hehe
00:54 Exio4 i don't think pushing 'features' to upstream, when they aren't like .. super optimized and "working".. sounds pretty nice, unless it is something that everybody agrees or needs lot of testing because huge code change (the scriptapi / formspec menu, we all knew it had "its bugs" but pushing it ended with it getting more testers!)
00:55 kahrl exactly... and that won't happen with weather if most leave it disabled (like it happened with finite liquids)
00:56 Exio4 the "final solution" should be good enough that it could be used by default and you won't see any "big performance degradation" when having the features :P
00:58 sokomine doesn't look like it. right now, it's extremly hot. got a bit colder this evening but tomorrow's expected to be over 30 degrees :-(
00:58 Exio4 what? :P
00:58 sokomine weather over sapiers town :-)
00:59 kahrl I wish you could disable weather like that in RL
00:59 Exio4 ah
00:59 Exio4 kahrl: i would like a force-weather option

06:46 celeron55 i guess proller needs to figure out how to turn his thing into more of a mod and put only really required stuff in the engine
06:47 celeron55 or at least attempt that, so that it is found out why it isn't possible, if it isn't

13:08 proller celeron55, already in engine minimal needed for weather
13:08 proller leveled api for increasing snow-water level for rain& snow
13:09 proller heat and humidity fast generating with cache and sending to client (for future fog-cloud)
13:09 proller and fast freeze-melt abm
13:15 proller there is try to make something in lua - https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=5245 https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=2290&p=5

13:47 proller trivial singleplayer fix - https://github.com/proller/minetest/commit/d6404f89d5e653806c0d13118c64e405ac5c636d
13:48 PilzAdam seems good
13:49 Exio4 Don't?
13:51 proller ?
13:52 Exio4 the commit message :P
13:52 Exio4 whatever, it was for correcting the "Dont" to "Don't"
14:05 proller ups, too late 8)
14:06 Exio4 i said it before you commited it though
14:12 celeron55 forum ban complaint: http://paste.dy.fi/EXA
14:12 PilzAdam celeron55, see #minetest
14:13 celeron55 what time?
14:13 Calinou ban was removed
14:13 Exio4 10 seconds ago celeron55
14:13 PilzAdam http://irc.minetest.ru/minetest/2013-07-27#i_3220265
14:13 Exio4 14 by now
14:13 Exio4 ;P
14:14 celeron55 wait what
14:18 celeron55 haha, i find it very interesting that this popped up just when the menu was made lua-based
14:19 celeron55 in any case, if it's up to me, we allow publishing such projects on the forum only if they properly mention Minetest in both in-game credits and on their website, and don't do any virus stuff (and follow any licenses appropriately)
14:20 celeron55 and if they do, then there's nothing against it
14:20 Exio4 they are using the official 0.4.7 minetest.exe + textures + mods
14:20 thexyz well they did nothing wrong
14:21 celeron55 it's no ban then
14:21 Exio4 as long as they don't make a mod for removing C:\Windows i don't think there is anything wrong
14:21 PilzAdam they still promote it as "their" game, and mention Minetest only somwhere hidden at the about tab
14:21 thexyz http://i.imgur.com/GueUrSV.png
14:22 thexyz isn't that how lgpl works?
14:23 thexyz all mods' sources are here, minetest source is not changed, so what's wrong?
14:24 Calinou PilzAdam: it makes you childish to call it "stupid" and a "piece of shit"
14:24 celeron55 this seems okay to me
14:26 sfan5 "Electroware has also merged servers with Minetest-c55" that sound like Minetest and Crevis are different games
14:26 sfan5 *sounds
14:27 celeron55 hmm
14:29 celeron55 well okay, it seems they aren't really going to do anything on their own, just rebrand our stuff
14:29 celeron55 they aren't an author of eg. any mod, right?
14:31 celeron55 if they were, i think it'd be fair to let them have one topic on the forum on this; but as it seems, the world isn't going to gain anything from that project so let's disallow it on our forum until it proves not worthless
14:31 celeron55 right?
14:31 PilzAdam seems good
14:32 celeron55 i think the account could be unbanned with the message that until they actually do anything useful, posting about their project is disallowed
14:32 celeron55 ^ moderators
14:33 celeron55 (oh it actually was unbanned already... well whatever)
14:35 sfan5 although it doesn't violate any license it's not nice to just copy some mods and act like its your own game and game engine
14:36 Taoki[mobile] joined #minetest-dev
14:37 celeron55 sfan5: our forum doesn't need to be ruled based on licenses
14:39 celeron55 http://paste.dy.fi/6oK
14:39 celeron55 the reply
14:39 * celeron55 the politician
14:40 NakedFury joined #minetest-dev
14:40 celeron55 i mean, it'd be fucking great if people made forks that combine minetest with their own substantial work
14:41 celeron55 but that seems to be too hard to reach for many 8)
14:42 sfan5 celeron55: do you try to make the last  part of the main valid C code?
14:42 celeron55 wut?
14:43 sfan5 *mail
14:43 sfan5 god damnit
14:43 sfan5 I think I should take a break...
14:43 celeron55 do you mean the //?
14:43 sfan5 ye
14:43 sfan5 *yes
14:44 celeron55 well, it obviously is inspired by C
14:45 celeron55 i like to set the tone of the message with that; it kind of says "this is a programmer you're talking to"
14:46 sfan5 I'm not sure everyone will understand that..
14:48 celeron55 as if you could make everyone understand something
14:49 sfan5 just write printf(wgettext("I'm a programmer!")) there
14:51 Exio4 tell people you are a hacker because you can do double rot13!
14:51 celeron55 "Thanks bro. I hear you. The team and I will work harder to respect your game."
14:51 sfan5 ^ is that the reply?
14:52 celeron55 yes
14:52 sfan5 seems like he doesn't quite get what he did wrong
14:53 celeron55 i'm pessimistic about what that means, but it could mean they'll actually put some of their own effort to it and actually care about whether we like it or not
14:53 celeron55 time will tell
14:54 celeron55 (i think he gets; it's really a lot about respect, as long as one understand how you get and lose respect around here)
14:55 celeron55 understands*
14:55 sfan5 time tells me "real0m0.000s" </badjoke whereitdoesntbelong="#minetest-dev" yesthisisvalidxml="1">
14:58 celeron55 but guys; this gives a hint that there could be an actual market for an engine that you can just bundle as an exe with one's game content without actually compiling it, to achieve an end product
14:59 sfan5 -> Minetest will be commercial now
15:00 celeron55 (well, "market" doesn't necessarily mean money)
15:00 sfan5 when people start talking about markets it goes commercial (usually)
15:00 celeron55 demand is a better word
15:00 celeron55 when it comes to minetest, i have simply decided to not care about money
15:01 sfan5 you don't care about donations or do you mean that you decided to not make money off Minetest?
15:02 celeron55 i have decided to not make money off minetest
15:02 celeron55 i handle donations in a non-profit way
15:03 celeron55 (that went awfully offtopic though)
15:03 proller celeron55, my core changes for weather now minimal reasonable
15:07 Jordach joined #minetest-dev
15:07 Calinou joined #minetest-dev
15:08 celeron55 proller: that isn't english; but in any case, if you think the changes really add the smallest possible amount to the engine, then i have to believe you
15:09 celeron55 keep in mind these things to work towards: there will be game modes which want to completely disable weather, but weather should be usable and desired in most
15:11 celeron55 you can merge it when you think it's good
15:12 PilzAdam ehm
15:12 PilzAdam http://irc.minetest.ru/minetest-dev/2013-07-26#i_3219672
15:12 proller its now completely disabled by default
15:13 Jordach joined #minetest-dev
15:14 celeron55 proller: that's not good
15:14 proller i will look at this
15:14 proller before merge
15:14 celeron55 most code should be enabled, otherwise it will just rot
15:16 celeron55 or, not always enabled, but in such a way that *someone* will be using it
15:19 celeron55 we have too little active people here at the moment; it's hard to reach a believable consensus
15:19 NakedFury I would use weather and the other stuff proller will add
15:20 celeron55 what kind of harm can it do if it's enabled by default?
15:20 PilzAdam "grief" peoples maps?
15:20 proller melts ice castles
15:21 proller or freeze water lifts
15:21 proller elevators
15:21 proller but it needs liquid_finite
15:21 celeron55 i think it could be optimal to disable it for old worlds and enable it for new worlds
15:21 celeron55 by default
15:22 celeron55 oh and that leads to the fact that finite liquids should be configurable per-world too
15:23 celeron55 can you do that?
15:24 smoke_fumus joined #minetest-dev
15:25 proller yes
15:26 proller but i think to merge it disabled, and enable by default with mapgen v7
15:27 celeron55 moving to finite liquids with that really freaks me out though
15:27 hgen joined #minetest-dev
15:28 proller with mapgen v7 ice areas will be more consistent
15:28 celeron55 but as long as this turns out well, it can allow interesting new mechanics... like collecting water with various ways, right?
15:29 proller yes, its already works with rain-snow mod
15:29 celeron55 i feel it will be difficult to make well-working large-scale things possible though
15:30 celeron55 people might expect that they can make a river and a waterfall of flowing water
15:30 celeron55 while that's quite out of scope of this
15:30 celeron55 how can you defend yourself in that?
15:30 celeron55 8)
15:31 proller rivers now works with high placed water springs
15:31 hmmmm joined #minetest-dev
15:31 proller waterfalls now tooo slow, it needs to make water falling
15:32 proller but lua falling too strange or slow for big amounts of water
15:32 Zeg9 joined #minetest-dev
15:32 proller it works in my "waterfall" branch, but needs much more work
15:33 proller maybe new c++ falling code with queues
15:33 celeron55 anyway, merge it and continue perfecting it; there's much to gain and not that much to lose
15:34 proller ok, will test fps peaks and..
16:07 proller curl resolver have not configurable timeouts :(

18:21 sokomine rl not working right now. want a bugfix for that! :-)
18:23 PilzAdam I think we should release 0.4.8 before weather
18:24 proller weather dont broke anything
18:25 proller these flags in minetest_game not used without weather
18:26 sokomine ...regardless of rl weather, it's nice that we'll eventually get weather in mt

19:51 celeron55 *BOOOM*
20:11 PilzAdam hmmmm, Im played arround with v7 a bit and I have to say that I dont like the rivers
20:11 PilzAdam they destroy the terrain too much
20:11 PilzAdam especially when they cut through mountains
20:12 PilzAdam I think the problem is that you generate the water always at y=0
20:12 PilzAdam it would make more sense if its only about 3 nodes lower than the surrounding terrain
20:14 proller 3-10
20:19 celeron55 on the other hand, there should be canyon-like rivers too
20:19 PilzAdam but not so many
20:20 Jordach 1/50 chance of ravine rivers
20:20 Jordach 1/35 chance of y=-1 / -3 rivers
20:21 PilzAdam the other thing that destroys the landscape is the cavegen, it creates ~5 nodes deep holes in the ground
20:22 Jordach imho, that makes the game seem alive due to meseor impacts
20:22 PilzAdam you can see the result of cavegen cutting out the dirt_with_grass here: http://mg.viewskew.com/mgoblin_media/media_entries/64/MapgenV7map1.png
20:22 PilzAdam there are many brown spots all other the terrain
20:23 Jordach at least it isnt like the v6 cliffs :>
20:23 nalkri is v6 the current?
20:23 nalkri I like building houses into the silly cliffs >.>
20:23 Jordach yes
