00:18	sapier	checking return codes might cause errors to show up instead of just hiding them ... sqlite backend forgets to finalize it's list statement therefor the following close fails ... if this would've been checked it'd have been found immediatly
00:19	sapier	rollback is even worse ... haven't found any code to close the db in there by now
00:35	sapier	https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1403 fixes shutdown of sqlite3 databases

10:44	RealBadAngel	hi sapier
10:44	RealBadAngel	https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1405
10:57	sapier	why do we need the override description bool?
11:11	RealBadAngel	to be able to disable tooltip for example
11:11	sapier	isn't it disabled if none is specified?
11:13	RealBadAngel	if we will add some more parameters in the future, tooltip field will have to be given
11:13	sapier	yes but this is true for other fields right now too, it's specified as empty
11:13	RealBadAngel	and ;; will mean that empty string is given and will be treated also as override one
11:14	sapier	right now empty causes no tooltip to be shown doesn't this work for image buttons too?
11:14	RealBadAngel	this is explicit to item_image_buttons only
11:15	RealBadAngel	because they do have tooltips by default
11:15	RealBadAngel	taken from items description
11:16	RealBadAngel	but we need tooltips sometime to hold other info, like number of items in recipe, groups etc
11:17	sapier	couldn't we just use presence of an empty field?
11:17	sapier	e.g. std::string tooltip = item.getDefinition(idef).description;
11:17	sapier	if (parts.size() == 6) tooltip = parts[5]
11:18	RealBadAngel	http://pastebin.com/0XNDya8b
11:18	RealBadAngel	please read this
11:19	sapier	why can't ppl writ short texts :-)
11:19	RealBadAngel	thats discussion on above, no point to play it again ;)
11:20	sapier	hmm true adding additional parameters and having default tooltip wouldn't work
11:22	sapier	another suggestion would be adding som sort of keyword e.g. ##default##
11:22	sapier	I hate having to set two parameters in order to change one thing
11:23	sapier	maybe someone else could give his opinion or even better suggestions about this. I don't really like both options neither the two params nor the special value
11:23	RealBadAngel	ShadowNinja, ?
11:23	RealBadAngel	nore, ?

11:34	sapier	https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1403 anyone objections to merging this one?
11:35	RealBadAngel	ok with me
11:36		kaeza joined #minetest-dev
11:39	sapier	pushing it
11:39		kaeza left #minetest-dev
11:42	sapier	https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/944 is this really crucial for 0.4.10? it's in for so long?
11:49	nore	sapier, I reckon this is quite important, even if it's here for a long time...
11:50	RealBadAngel	agree
11:51	sapier	true nore but there's noone to fix it right now
11:51	nore	I know... when is 0.4.10 to be released?
11:52	sapier	for what I remember we're targeting end of this month ... I doubt it's gonna be fixed by that time
11:55	proller	https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1390 !
11:55	RealBadAngel	ouch
11:55	RealBadAngel	found a bug
11:56	RealBadAngel	enter client tab, dont get server list
11:56	RealBadAngel	and press up/down
11:57	sapier	thought that's been already fixed?
11:57	RealBadAngel	obviously not
11:58	sapier	...wonder how often I'm gonna have to fix this bug :-)
11:58	RealBadAngel	till the world ends and then once more ;)
11:58	sapier	I hate zombie bugs
11:59	sapier	oh that's actually a different one
12:01	sapier	ok fixed
12:03		Jordach joined #minetest-dev
12:05	RealBadAngel	ok
12:05	RealBadAngel	nore, what do you think about item_image_buttons stuff?
12:06	nore	I don't have any particular opinion... although I think that 2 parameters are a lot...

13:40	PenguinDad	https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1289 is rebased now
13:52	sapier	I don't think that's 100% solution PenguinDad
13:58	PenguinDad	sapier: I know that a client side timeout handler would be better for this. But I don't have any c++ knowledge
13:59	sapier	actually server does try to send a disconnect but sometimes client is already gone by that time, additionally requesting to send a kick will work by pure chance

15:29	RealBadAngel	hi VanessaE
15:30	VanessaE	hey\
15:30		MichaelRpdx joined #minetest-dev
15:31	Taoki	Hi
15:31	Taoki	I was wondering... can the Minetest engine currently play midi files? If not, can that be implemented, and should it?
15:32	Taoki	Considering the design is foxels and x16 textures, this music format would be very fitting to support
15:32	VanessaE	no, yes, and maybe, in that order. :)
15:32	Taoki	**voxels
15:32	Taoki	Any devs got any thoughts there?
15:33	VanessaE	there are already really good packages available for handling MIDI, module music, etc. so that part shouldn't be hard
15:33	VanessaE	and those files are much smaller than an ogg of equivalent length and audio quality
15:34	VanessaE	(at the cost of musical complexity and quality)
15:35	VanessaE	but doing so adds another dependency
15:38		rdococ joined #minetest-dev
15:43	Taoki	Yeah, size is one great advantage there
15:43	RealBadAngel	and i think the only one
15:43	Taoki	As for compatibility, all I know is you need a library called Timidity installed for it to work on Linux
15:44	RealBadAngel	also in fact almost nobody cares about size ;)
15:44	Taoki	RealBadAngel: Well, if you do want simple music, mid is good. You can adjust your own sound fonts too and change stuff
15:44	Taoki	RealBadAngel: I care about waiting 5 minutes to login to a server :P
15:47	VanessaE	biggest module file I have out of about 375 total files is an .xm, "Clone (D.R.)", 3.6 MB in size
15:48	VanessaE	median size seems to be about 750kB or so

16:17		kahrl joined #minetest-dev
16:19		Piggybear87 joined #minetest-dev
16:22	kahrl	how would we deal with the fact that timidity is GPL?
16:25	VanessaE	how do you mean?
16:26	kahrl	well, we can't just call the timidity API from minetest, because minetest is LGPL
16:26	VanessaE	couldn't one simply obtain a license waiver or something from the folks who maintain timidity?
16:27	kahrl	I guess that's a possibility... good luck :)
16:27	VanessaE	(dual license, whatever it's called)
16:27	VanessaE	either that or make it an optional thing
16:27	VanessaE	use-if-found
16:27	VanessaE	then it doesn't matter what the license is
16:28	kahrl	if the original version of timidity is good enough, it already is dual licensed: http://ieee.uwaterloo.ca/sca/www.cgs.fi/tt/timidity/
16:28	kahrl	VanessaE: it does (but IANAL)
16:29	VanessaE	well I doubt that old-ass one would suffice :P
16:29	kahrl	I mean, even with use-if-found, somewhere in minetest there has to be some call like timidity_play(...)
16:30	jin_xi	pls send OSC signals for use with another program
16:30	jin_xi	like supercollider server or such
16:30	kahrl	shouldn't matter that there is an #if USE_TIMIDITY around it
16:38	VanessaE	according to GNU, it's allowed but Minetest would end up under GPL then.
16:39	VanessaE	https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility
16:39	Calinou	what does timidity do?
16:39	Calinou	VanessaE, blame celeron55, huehuehue.
16:39	VanessaE	Calinou: plays MIDI files among others.
16:39	jin_xi	plays midi files
16:40	Calinou	what's the point?
16:40	Calinou	lightweight songs? have fun getting one that sounds good :/
16:40	VanessaE	Calinou: alternative music format for when an OGG is just way too big
16:41	VanessaE	mikmod is LGPL so that one is safe at least.
16:41	VanessaE	(libmikmod that is)
16:41	Calinou	mikmod is probably more used
16:42	VanessaE	mikmod is for module files though, not MIDI.

17:32	rubenwardy	Why is this in the code? https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/src/clientmap.cpp#L91
17:32	Calinou	does max_hear_distance work?
17:32	rubenwardy	Blame says 58bed83d celeron55 / 2012-03-16 / Move ClientMap to clientmap
17:33	celeron55_	isn't it obvious that it is just some ancient unused thing?
17:34	rubenwardy	Yeah, it is. Which makes me wonder why it hasn't been removed.
17:34	rubenwardy	Forgotten about, I guess
17:34	celeron55_	seems so
17:42	rubenwardy	What is 'BS' in Minetest?
17:42	rubenwardy	Build size?
17:42	rubenwardy	ie: 20 * BS
17:43	sfan5	block size
17:43	Calinou	blocksize, sometimes referred as â€œbullshitâ€ by the main developers
17:43	rubenwardy	ok, thanks]#
17:44		lemonlake_ left #minetest-dev
17:47	sapier	does anyone know a way how a member variable supposed to be changed by a single function only can be corrupted in between calls of that functions?
17:48	kahrl	cosmic rays?
17:48	VanessaE	butterflies, of course.
17:52	celeron55_	threads
17:57		BrandonReese joined #minetest-dev
17:59	RealBadAngel	so what about https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1405 ?
18:01	VanessaE	RealBadAngel: in the docs, "false = use item's description".... make it "false/nil"
18:02	VanessaE	or something implying "anything that evaluates as not true"
18:02	RealBadAngel	point is some dont like 2 values for one things
18:03	VanessaE	yeah, saw the discussion in the log
18:04	RealBadAngel	by now only way to be it just one variable is to assume we wont add anything to the button in the future or tooltip will always be last value
18:05	RealBadAngel	the last means rework mods each time we add something
18:25	sapier	100 points to celeron
18:26	sapier	it's not been the variable I've been looking at but one used in calculating it's value
18:26		Ritchie joined #minetest-dev
18:26	sapier	well and -O3 optimization causing printf debuging to fail
18:29	sapier	the good thing about android port is using it at different machine architectures reveals different bugs :-)
18:30	sapier	e.g. the obscure day/night race bug
18:38	sapier	https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1406 comments?
18:40	CraigyDavi	Can someone fix this please? https://gist.github.com/CraigyDavi/c0fd3be826e7869bd94a
18:41	CraigyDavi	Spams the logs with errors
18:50	sapier	hmm do you know what happened before?
18:53	sapier	because for what I see no regular client is supposed to send this, so I wonder if it'd be better to silently ignore that behaviour or actively kick that peer
18:54		rubenwardy joined #minetest-dev
18:58	CraigyDavi	By the looks of things it was this which started it: https://gist.github.com/CraigyDavi/c0fd3be826e7869bd94a#file-gistfile1-txt-L17-L19
19:00	VanessaE	it's deleting players? O_o
19:01	CraigyDavi	D: I hope not
19:01	CraigyDavi	Although it did see some "unknown" players in the /status
19:09	RealBadAngel	sapier, so i will make it a single value with no boolean for it, if we will add something in the future then we will think of it, ok?
19:11	RealBadAngel	or maybe as Zefram_fysh suggested use couple of values separated with coma? like position?
19:12	rubenwardy	How can make it so players can dig and place things further away?
19:12	RealBadAngel	check creative mod
19:12	RealBadAngel	it changes that behaviour
19:13	VanessaE	rubenwardy: the range= argument in an item def at least works for tools.
19:13	VanessaE	https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L2222
19:13	VanessaE	not sure if it works for nodes.
19:14	RealBadAngel	https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/blob/master/mods/creative/init.lua#L125
19:15	VanessaE	ah, forgot about the default : item.
19:15	sapier	no rba we need a way to do it better then to break everything
19:15	sapier	let ppl think about it maybe someone has a better idea till tomorrow
19:16	RealBadAngel	i do have one
19:16	RealBadAngel	NULL
19:17	RealBadAngel	lets reserve that name just
19:18	rubenwardy	All works XD
19:18	sapier	ok, but someone except us should agree to that too as it's not very nice
19:19	RealBadAngel	but it will work
19:20	sapier	yes I think so too

20:16	RealBadAngel	sapier?
20:16	RealBadAngel	VanessaE, wake up :P
20:18	sapier	RealBadAngel: can you do this without adding another indention level?
20:19	RealBadAngel	huh? its formated exactly as it should be
20:20	sapier	yes
20:20	sapier	but is it possible to do without that additional level?
20:20	sapier	indention level 5 is quite heavy
20:21		TomasBrod joined #minetest-dev
20:22		TomasBrod left #minetest-dev
20:22	RealBadAngel	idk how to do that without havin SN on my back for that ;)
20:23		TomasBrod joined #minetest-dev
20:23	sapier	ugly hack do { break; } while(false);
20:24	sapier	no I'm not serious ;-)
20:26	sapier	that's not gonna work this way
20:27	TomasBrod	repeat until true and false; <-- similar
20:27	sapier	e.g. if someone manages to move cursor to nowhere tooltip will show up immediatly once entering the last element again
20:28		CraigyDavi_ joined #minetest-dev
20:29	RealBadAngel	i dont think so, 1st something has to be hovered, 2nd it has to have same id as before to show up
20:31		paramat joined #minetest-dev
20:31	RealBadAngel	also this "break" you have seen at least two times in recent commits, and now its ugly??
20:31	sapier	no
20:32	RealBadAngel	not to mention its here since always, its not mine ;)
20:32	sapier	hovered can be null too
20:32	sapier	hovered is only != null for gui elements
20:32	sapier	those image buttons used for games for example are surrounded by "nothing"
20:32	TomasBrod	IMHO you are reinverting the wheel. Tere is a plenty of GUI libraries.
20:33	RealBadAngel	we are not using any libraries and propably wont
20:33	sapier	yes but right now tooltips are always shown immediatly so if you add a delay it should always work ;-)
20:33	RealBadAngel	point is to delay them
20:34	TomasBrod	the delay should be configurable
20:34	sapier	yes but that should work in all cases not in 95% only ;-)
20:34	sapier	imho delay should be hardcoded
20:34	paramat	hmmmm a mapgen pull request awaits your approval https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1390
20:34	RealBadAngel	i made it behave the very same way or similar at least, as my OS does
20:35	RealBadAngel	lets bring here the request:
20:35	RealBadAngel	<VanessaE> I will eventually
20:35	RealBadAngel	<VanessaE> after you guys settle on a stable API :P
20:35	RealBadAngel	<VanessaE> also G*d damn it I want a short pause before the fucking tooltip appears
20:35	RealBadAngel	<VanessaE> and it should NOT follow the fucking mouse pointer!
20:35	RealBadAngel	<VanessaE> it should stay in one place.
20:35	RealBadAngel	<VanessaE> atleast the tooltips on the main menu that is
20:35	RealBadAngel	so its done ;)
20:36	hmmmm	I really didn't understand why proller wanted to add that in the first place
20:36	hmmmm	it's too bad we can't get rid of json
20:36	sapier	hmmmm still why remove some feature without replacement
20:36	hmmmm	he said there are mods for it
20:38	hmmmm	man, I still don't get why proller went emo on us instead of taking the criticism constructively and started producing better stuff or at least putting that stuff in the appropriate places
20:42	hmmmm	a more disciplined approach to solving software problems instead of "produce code that does task X" would go far
20:43	hmmmm	instead he seems proud of his perl hacking skills
20:51	sapier	https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1406 comments about this one?
20:52	sapier	https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1359 hmmmm I fixed the invalid memcopy any other issues in there?
20:53	hmmmm	wait, i don't understand, where is the time of day ever set other than in the server thread?
20:53	hmmmm	and surely you realize that the lock in getTimeOfDaySpeed is sorta useless, right??
20:54	hmmmm	yes, the second looks good
20:57	sapier	it's set on reception of a message
20:58	sapier	are you sure float assignments are atomic on all architectures? ;-)
20:59	hmmmm	i guess not
20:59	sapier	i wonder why this does fail completely on mips
20:59	sapier	while it's defacto nonexistent on pc
20:59	hmmmm	it'd be very safe to assume that float reads would be fine, but not so much for double
21:00		kaeza joined #minetest-dev
21:00	proller	hmmmm, 1390 about removing useless stuff
21:00	sapier	hmm you're right about getRImeOfDaySpeed I'm gonna fix it
21:01	hmmmm	well, i don't know, it depends on what m_time_of_day is declared as
21:01		TomasBrod left #minetest-dev
21:01	sapier	proller why does this feel like you wanna remove all remains of your work?
21:01	proller	yes, indev - next step
21:01	hmmmm	I think this is like his version of "post blanking" when someone ragequits from a forum
21:01	proller	i can remove serverlist with json too, if anybody agrees
21:02	sapier	hmmmm I'm gonna create a local copy prior returning to make sure
21:02	hmmmm	okay
21:02	hmmmm	yeah that's probably a good idea in fact
21:03	sapier	that bug was obscure for about 2 years now if it wasn't 100% occurance at mips we'd never found it
21:03	sfan5	let's just not support mips
21:03	hmmmm	yeah, it sounded whack from the description
21:04	sapier	it's broken on some sorts of x86 too
21:04	hmmmm	sfan5, it happened as well when compiled with clang iirc
21:04	hmmmm	on x86
21:04	sfan5	hm
21:04	sapier	but we never found out what caused it to occur in those situations
21:07	proller	sapier, 1406 +117 âˆ’95 can you split commits to spaces and code change?
21:08	sapier	I'm gonna remove the style fixes completely
21:08	RealBadAngel	that day/night bug appears not only on mips
21:08	RealBadAngel	on android_x86 its also present
21:09	proller	sapier, use automated tool like astyle or dont touch anything
21:10	proller	and decide about if() \n {} -> \n ?
21:14	sapier	proller it is automated that's why it's always fixed once I save a file
21:14	proller	automated = others can reproduce
21:15	sapier	it's not my issue to configure your tools correctly
21:16	proller	your tools configured incorrectly
21:16	proller	editor must not change all spaces in file
21:16	sapier	no it's absolutely correct
21:17	sapier	it removes trailing spaces
21:17	sapier	and that's what I expect a good editor to do
21:17	* sfan5	throws Atom at sapier
21:17	sfan5	according to you it's a good editor
21:17	sfan5	(it actually is)
21:17	sapier	the github thingyÃŸ
21:18	sapier	does it have code completion debugger build cppcheck & & & integration yet?
21:18	proller	good editor must ask before changing something
21:19	sfan5	sapier: it maybe does, look for this at https://atom.io/packages
21:20	sapier	download for mac ... you're kidding
21:20	sfan5	compile it yourself for linux =)
21:21	sapier	Why does Atom send usage data to Google Analytics? ... failed
21:21	sfan5	where does it say that?
21:21	sapier	I'll not install a editor aumatically sending data to google for sure
21:21	sfan5	<sfan5> where does it say that?
21:22	sapier	https://atom.io/faq
21:22	sfan5	1) you can disable it 2) it's only for the beta
21:23	sapier	mentioning this somewhere and not asking for permission prior doing is a no go to me ... companys using tricks like that may even send data if disabled... and I wont gonna check whole source code for sure
21:24	sfan5	it's not their problem if you refuse to check the whole src code
21:24	sapier	it's an editor the only information it's supposed to send is a crash report and to do so it's supposed to ask for permission
21:24	sapier	I know ppl get used to autosending more and more but that's not what I wanna use
21:25	sfan5	<sfan5> 1) you can disable it
21:25	sapier	of course not, but I'm not gonna use code from someone I don't trust
21:25	sfan5	prepare to delete your github account then
21:25	sapier	same as google writing a ssl library ... nice try
21:25	sfan5	you don't trust github and it's employees
21:26	sfan5	wat
21:26	sfan5	have you actually read the news?
21:26	sfan5	it's a FORK!
21:26	sapier	that's not relevant
21:26	sfan5	it is
21:26	sapier	they don't contribure back and change a lot of code
21:26	sfan5	[citation needed]
21:27	sfan5	they contribute back financially to both OpenSSL and LibreSSL
21:27	sapier	no they don't http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Google-entwickelt-eigene-SSL-Bibliothek-2236224.html
21:28	sfan5	"nicht alle" != "nicht"
21:28	sapier	claiming "it shall not replace openssl" is as believeable as chrome shall not replace firefox/ie
21:28	sfan5	http://www.golem.de/news/verschluesselung-google-forkt-openssl-1406-107359.html
21:28	sapier	of course it's their aim to get the new standard ssl lib
21:28	sfan5	Langley betont, dass Google weiterhin die Entwicklung von OpenSSL Ã¼ber die Core Infrastructure Initiative mitfinanzieren wird. Auch die Entwicklung von LibreSSL wird von Google weiterhin durch die UnterstÃ¼tzung der OpenBSD-Foundation mitfinanziert
21:29	sapier	google pays for firefox too ... as long as firefox is significant
21:29	sfan5	^ speculation
21:30	sapier	no pure logics
21:30	sapier	as long as firefox is usefull once you beat it punch it to death
21:31	sfan5	still only a speculation on the tactics of google
21:31	sapier	we'll see ... but back to minetest
21:31		Eater4 joined #minetest-dev
21:31	sapier	https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1406/ removed whitespace fixes
21:41	proller	https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1407
22:12	sapier	meging https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1359 on a few minutes, it needs some more broad testing prior relese
22:14	proller	renaming voxel flags adds fps? ;)
22:15	sapier	if you did have closer look at it you'd have realized that one flag was completely removed ... as well as 2 3d loops just exchanging one for another ... and yes that's a major part of the total speedup
22:16	sapier	cause it reduces code run time for that part to less then half
22:16	sapier	and that code is run quite often
22:17		asl joined #minetest-dev
22:17	proller	minetest: catching up freeminer.
22:18	proller	good direction ;)
22:18	sapier	well everytime someone did spend the time to proove your claims they've proofen to be false
22:19	* proller	always false
22:20	sapier	as you always claim everyone else is wrong you're right some time for statistical reasons too ;-P ... if you'd manage to be always wrong you'd be a phenomenom ;-P
22:20	sapier	pushing now
22:20		book` joined #minetest-dev
22:24	sapier	ShadowNinja: are you there?
22:26	sapier	https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1406 merging in a few minutes
23:02	sapier	https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1408 here we go, android patch pull request
23:03	VanessaE	oh my, there it is.
23:04	VanessaE	"The Big One"
23:04	sapier	+4k lines ... yes quite big
23:04	VanessaE	inb4 proller complains that half the patch is spacing changes
23:05	sapier	makefile on it's own is about 700 lines ;-)
23:06	sapier	adding android build system makefile and there's 1k lines for makefiles only :-/
23:06		restcoser joined #minetest-dev
23:07	sapier	500 lines of java code
23:09	sapier	and 1k code for touchscreen controls
23:09	sapier	most of the remaining 1.5 k lines code are fixes for ogles limitations
23:10	sapier	see yourself
23:10	RealBadAngel	oh cmon, you can do better than pulling such small patches... theres almost nothing in here ;)
23:10	VanessaE	Oh I'll pass on trying to read this, I'll go cross-eyed :P
23:11	sapier	lol sorry I thought about merging all the last four weeks patches as one but now it's to late
23:12	sapier	guess they'd be about 10k in sum but haven't counted
23:12	RealBadAngel	can you make a build with it btw? i will try it on my box
23:12	sapier	20140622 is about 99% of it, at least if you've got a arm device
23:13	RealBadAngel	VanessaE, i do have patch for your request almost ready, fighting now with one issue just
23:13	RealBadAngel	i wanna test it on x86
23:14	sapier	sorry it's late now, I'm gonna build it tomorrow ... current one most likely does still have the day night cycle bug
23:15	sapier	good night
23:15		sapier left #minetest-dev
23:16	VanessaE	RealBadAngel: cool.
23:16	VanessaE	just don't break sapier's big patch :)
23:16	VanessaE	I believe this thing is the one that's been kinda holding up release of 0.4.10
23:17	RealBadAngel	one of them
23:17	VanessaE	the main one, for sure
23:17	RealBadAngel	i would also like to see database storage here for this release
23:18	RealBadAngel	but it seems no1 wants to code it
23:19	VanessaE	some kind of basic filesystem access would be useful too
23:19	RealBadAngel	that we already have
23:19	VanessaE	at least being able to create a dir inside the world dir anyway
23:19	VanessaE	we don't have this yet.
23:20	RealBadAngel	and it sucks big time for databases
23:20	VanessaE	at least not in a portable way
23:20	RealBadAngel	this is not reliable in any way and ability to create folders wont help
23:21	RealBadAngel	lusers will keep deleting folders too
23:21	VanessaE	yeah I know but it would be nice if all mods would be able to keep shit in worlds/ThisWorld/mod_data/ e.g. worlds/ThisWorld/mod_data/moretrees_settings.txt and so on.
23:22	RealBadAngel	files are not nice at all
23:22	VanessaE	even if any one mod creates only one file, if you have enough mods, the world dir gets cluttered.
23:22	RealBadAngel	this is road to nowhere
23:22	VanessaE	so database or no database, some way to push them down a level would be useful.
23:22	RealBadAngel	only acceptable solution is a database access
23:23	RealBadAngel	i do have 4 mods already in need of this
23:23	VanessaE	a database would be nice and all but for some stuff it's just plain overkill
23:24	VanessaE	for UI/waypoints, it's definitely needed
23:24	RealBadAngel	stargates...
23:24	RealBadAngel	chests networks
23:25	RealBadAngel	UI in general, it needs to store way more data than just waypoints
23:27	RealBadAngel	anyway, until database thingy will be added, im reverting datastorage to previous state
23:27	RealBadAngel	and will keep all the data in special item's metadata
23:27	RealBadAngel	thus will keep it in players file
23:28	RealBadAngel	if somebody gonna complain about it, gonna say "go code database access" :P
