Time Nick Message 00:40 hoborific how do you police pull requests 01:16 kahrl https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/1728 fixed by https://gist.github.com/kahrl/778860462bfb6e43243c 01:16 kahrl since the fix is so trivial I'll push it in an hour if nobody complains 01:20 ShadowNinja Seems fine, provided that the engine prepends PROJECT_NAME + minetest_version_hash + " / " to it. 01:20 kahrl yeah, it doe 01:20 kahrl s 01:21 kahrl (and skips the " / " part if the argument to set_topleft_text is empty) 01:31 kahrl can anybody explain https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/1723? 01:31 kahrl why would the game be in draw_load_screen while playing? 01:49 ShadowNinja kahrl: He probably means "while connecting to play". 07:13 Zeno` how does this project like commits squashed? e.g. https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1707 ? 07:14 Zeno` git rebase -i HEAD~3 ? 07:18 kahrl yeah, would be best in this case 07:18 kahrl but generally don't squash if it would produce a commit that does multiple unrelated things 07:21 kahrl (but do squash if the second commit just fixes a variable name introduced / heavily changed by the first, etc.) 07:21 kahrl s/variable name/name of a variable 07:24 Zeno` so in this case I *should* squash but only HEAD~2 ? 07:25 Zeno` the bug fix is already merged... so maybe I'd be better to squash all I think 07:25 Zeno` sorry, I just saw you already said that :3 07:26 kahrl wait, which one is already merged? 07:26 kahrl oh, the "Fix use ..." one 07:27 kahrl don't squash with that, just remove it 07:27 kahrl otherwise git would try to apply that patch again and everyone would be crying 07:27 kilbith since today, I can't see the server list in the client 07:28 Zeno` 27eff75, but as another request. The mistake I made was fixing 27eff75 as a separate PR 07:29 Zeno` I'll squash all 3 and see what the diff looks like 07:30 kahrl don't 07:30 kahrl Zeno`: in these cases, since I don't know git well, I just make a new branch, cherry-pick the (non-merged to upstream) commits from the first branch, delete the first branch, rename the second back to the first, and git push -f 07:30 Zeno` ok, so leave as is? 07:30 Zeno` or can I squash e5d1da2 into 934e1c2? 07:30 Zeno` even if there is a commit in between them 07:31 kahrl yeah, just change the order in rebase -i 07:31 Zeno` well I may as well try... won't learn any other way. Making backup heh 07:32 Zeno` thanks 07:33 kahrl you can also delete 27eff75 by removing that line in git rebase -i 07:33 Zeno` just read that comment in vim 07:33 kahrl but I never trust myself to not mess up by doing something like that so I go the cherry-pick way 07:35 * Zeno` does git rebase --abort... lol, that worked out well 07:35 Zeno` I will cherry pick... easier 07:44 Zeno` seemed to work. Thanks again, kahrl 08:29 kahrl https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/src/drawscene.cpp#L524 08:29 kahrl why are the clouds rendered before beginScene? 08:30 kahrl how does that even work? 08:45 Krock and I wonder about this use: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/src/sky.cpp#L497 08:48 kahrl Krock: that seems fine to me 08:49 kahrl perhaps a bit hacky to use recursion like that but should be ok 08:49 Krock kahrl, just interesting why a flood is needed to solve a problem 08:50 kahrl the alternative would be to duplicate update() into an initialize function 08:51 kahrl which does everything update() does except the smoothing 08:51 Krock :/ 08:55 kahrl just timed it, took <1ms to do the 100 updates 09:13 Zeno` it's probably tail-end optimisation and/or unrolled with optimisation anyway 09:13 Zeno` optimised* 09:14 Zeno` I was actually looking at that same line the other day :-o 09:15 Zeno` when I was looking for an unititized variable... weird 10:00 ninnghazad is there a limit to size of log in memory? or can i blow the server's mem by producing large amounts of logging? 10:02 kahrl the log is written to disk, not memory 10:02 kahrl unless debug.txt happens to be on a tmpfs, I suppose (but why would you do that?) 10:03 ninnghazad nono, i was wondering if the buffer used for logging may not be cleared (even if written to disk) 10:03 kahrl any signs of that happening? would be strange 10:05 ninnghazad not really, but i have a memleak and am looking for causes. there isn't much happening but logging, so i thought i'd ask 10:05 kahrl tried valgrind? 10:07 ninnghazad not yet, thought i might be able to pinpoint it by selectively disabling stuff in lua that is running when it happens. i was under the assumption that the lua-env gets destroyed when leaving the game, but the mem stays high when back in menu. does the lua persist until that point? 10:07 kahrl I'm pretty sure it is destroyed 10:08 kahrl maybe someone missed some userdata objects or something though 10:12 ninnghazad hmk, has to be something in lua then that leaves stuff around outside of it. valgrind dumps me with: /tmp/minetest/src/script/cpp_api/s_base.cpp:74: ScriptApiBase::ScriptApiBase(): Assertion 'm_luastack' failed. 10:12 Zeno` you need to disable LuaJIT 10:13 ninnghazad aah.. ok 10:13 jin_xi ninnghazad: is this with dronetests? because minetest leaks the textures for the screens 10:13 Zeno` valgrind and LuaJIT do not work nicely together unless you have a special build of LuaJIT 10:14 ninnghazad yes, i found it while coding for dronetest. hm, its a lot of screen-updates, maybe thats just it. 10:14 ninnghazad using 640x640 screens, so that may explain the speed of leaking. 10:16 kahrl aren't the textures unloaded when you exit to menu though? 10:20 ninnghazad hm, i don't think thats it, printing lots of text alone is not enough to make it leak. 10:21 ninnghazad i think it happens around get_objects_inside_radius and using those. 10:30 jin_xi i found collisionMoveSimple generates lots of spurious hits on node borders 10:30 jin_xi i wonder if its a problem for some mods as its used for all movement in mt basically. 10:43 Zeno` oh man, I don't wannna make a branch for this :9 10:55 Zeno` Krock!!! Best pal and buddy 10:55 Krock I feel nothing good 10:57 Zeno` No, no, this is fantastic. Can you check this is fine on MSVC? https://github.com/Zeno-/minetest/tree/minor_cleanup 10:57 Zeno` It's terribly exciting 10:58 Zeno` I only did it for memcpy(new_str, intermediate.c_str(), len * sizeof (wchar_t) + 1); in gettext.h :( 10:58 Krock Zeno`, you really want to wait 25 minutes just to (maybe) get an error message? 11:00 Zeno` probably not. It looks fine so I will trust it 11:01 Zeno` actually forget it altogether 11:51 ninnghazad hmk, i was confused. get_objects did not leak, must really be the textures or something related to that. when not updating dronetest_display's texture, memory stays cool. 12:06 Zeno` umm, kahrl... 12:07 Zeno` https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/d1ccc64e1ecfd00df36d2b8a8b3420b70434fefd <-- Why is that necessary? 12:07 Zeno` It makes no difference, I'm just interested 12:17 Megaf sfan5: I will try again with the following flags, cmake ../../ -DVERSION_EXTRA=MinetestPi -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1 -DENABLE_GLES=1 -DIRRLICHT_INCLUDE_DIR=../../../irrlicht/include -DIRRLICHT_LIBRARY=../../../irrlicht/lib/Linux/libIrrlicht.a -DENABLE_SOUND=0 -DENABLE_LEVELDB=0 -DENABLE_CURL=0 -DENABLE_REDIS=0 -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-lGLESv1_CM -lEGL" 12:17 Megaf and I recompiled Irrlicht too 13:03 SudoAptGetPlay Hi, is there an easy way to link server's players credentials to an external mysql db ? 13:21 sfan5 SudoAptGetPlay: you can generate an auth.txt from a mysql db, but linking? no 13:26 SudoAptGetPlay the usecase is : users register on a site to create an account, and those credentials are used by minetest for user login 13:37 sfan5 thats even easier 13:52 Salbei hi all 13:53 Salbei sfan5: can u tell me more about SudoAptGetPlay question? 13:54 sfan5 sure 13:54 Salbei I want to link users from a mysql db to minetestserver 13:55 Salbei how do that? 13:55 sfan5 mysql is a bit more complicated 13:55 sfan5 <SudoAptGetPlay> the usecase is : users register on a site to create an account, and those credentials are used by minetest for user login 13:55 sfan5 <sfan5> thats even easier 13:57 Salbei i have to write with php in the auth.txt right? 13:57 sfan5 correct 13:58 Salbei ok i can do that 13:58 Salbei I have an another question 14:00 Salbei what is the solution for put 2 serverlist_url in the minetest.conf? 14:00 sfan5 you can only put one url there 14:01 Salbei ok 14:05 sfan5 Salbei: http://sprunge.us/bWIG?php 14:07 Salbei cool sfan5 thanks u :) 14:11 Krock Does the bus still exist in the newest Git, where the selection box for nodes is not shown up when pointing through water? 14:11 Krock *bug 15:23 ninnghazad is there a callback for when entities get unloaded cause they are too far away? 15:29 Krock why would you need that? 15:30 ninnghazad cause i have entites communicating, when a and b talk, and i move away to unload b, a will not known that b is gone. 15:30 ninnghazad like with digilines, what if an object is unloaded while processing a call between two objects? 15:31 ninnghazad with a callback, i could remove that entity from the list of talkers, and prevent calling methods of the removed object (which return garbage it seems) 15:35 ninnghazad hm, or can temporarily keep entities from being removed, so that they can finish what they are doing without crashing? 15:39 ninnghazad hm there was some talk about unloading-prevention like 2 years back. 15:41 Krock you can forceload blocks 15:46 ninnghazad yeah, i guess that'll be the only way right now. at least that ensures that entities not only stay alive, but also the nodes around them they might want to access. 15:47 ninnghazad from the irc-logs it seems the discussion about implementing isUnloadAllowed did not end fruitfull. 16:00 kilbith Megaf: what's the result of your compiling ? 16:02 * rubenwardy wishes compiling didn't take so long... 16:03 kilbith Megaf: what's the result of your compiling ? 16:05 * Krock slaps rubenwardy 16:40 kahrl Zeno`: oh yeah, I wasn't quite sure if the C++ standard guarantees that the first enum value corresponds to 0 in absence of an initializer, but it does (7.2.1) 16:41 kahrl doesn't hurt to be explicit though 18:01 petrusd987 Does anyone know how I can link Koneki to Minetest for debugging? 18:04 Megaf sfan5: well, it compiled 18:04 Megaf it have compiled 18:04 Megaf does anyone heve have a Raspberry Pi to test my build? 18:04 Megaf [100%] Built target minetest 18:04 Megaf real 109m10.320s 18:05 petrusd987 I can, I'd have to find the power cable though 18:05 sfan5 can't you test it on your raspberry pi? 18:05 sfan5 I have a raspi too, but it's busy with other stuff 18:06 Megaf No I can't, I don't have any monitor or keyboard here 18:08 Megaf petrusd987: Ok, I will find a way to upload to somewhere 18:08 Megaf upload it* 18:15 petrusd987 I'll be right back 18:54 Megaf sfan5: proller: any idea on the cause of this? http://paste.debian.net/125419/ 18:54 Megaf ^ kilbith 18:55 kahrl Megaf: npot2 problem? 18:55 Megaf libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate 18:55 proller google it 18:59 kahrl Megaf: number 7 http://pi3d.github.io/html/FAQ.html 19:00 Megaf Ok, thanks 19:01 Megaf kilbith: try that 19:02 kilbith ok 19:04 Megaf [15:07:23] nonetheless at the rate Megaf gets them I would suggest doing a memtest on that machine 19:04 Megaf Lets see for how long minetestserver can run without crashing 19:08 kilbith ok I entered the commands and it still not works 19:08 kilbith I should remove some libs iirc 19:09 kilbith manually 19:11 kilbith /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libEGL.so.1 19:11 kilbith /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libEGL.so.1.0 19:11 kilbith should just keep libEGL.so ? 20:15 Krock Any chance to get #1715 merged in this year? 20:28 kilbith Megaf: also that when trying to get the public server list : 22:28:04: ERROR[AsyncWorkerThread_0]: httpfetch_sync: unable to fetch servers.minetest.net/list because USE_CURL=0 20:29 Krock ^ curl missing 20:34 paramat sfan5, (and other MTgame devs) please can boats mod be fixed by merging my pull https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/pull/328 it's been tested and fine tuned for hours, works like a dream. best to test in my 'canyon' river mod as that has extreme water level changes 20:34 sfan5 I'm fine with merging it 20:34 sfan5 ''tell BlockMen sfan5, (and other MTgame devs) please can boats mod be fixed by merging my pull https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/pull/328 it's been tested and fine tuned for hours, works like a dream. best to test in my 'canyon' river mod as that has extreme water level changes 20:34 sfan5 where's the bot 20:34 sfan5 argh 20:43 gravgun Hi everybody. @sfan5: some early work: http://pastebin.com/NFB031Rp 20:44 sfan5 cstdint is C++11? 20:44 gravgun Yes 20:44 gravgun cstdint.h is C++ < 11 20:44 gravgun eh i meant 20:45 sfan5 TIL 20:45 gravgun and , although it existed before C++11 on some libc's is really defined in the C++11 standard 20:45 sfan5 >signed int types 20:46 sfan5 why do we even have different types? 20:46 sfan5 and "int addr;" 20:46 sfan5 int is not guaranteed to be the size of a pointer 20:46 gravgun not supposed to be 20:46 gravgun supposed to be a stack pointer 20:47 gravgun and stack will be an array, or a std::stack of some kind 20:47 gravgun as i said it's early work 20:47 gravgun and I've never made any VMs beforehand 20:47 sfan5 not having the stack be an array will make it slow 20:48 gravgun stl is slow in general you know... 20:48 sfan5 are you aware that you also need to serialize instructions? 20:48 gravgun at least compared to bare C arrays 20:48 gravgun yes I am 20:48 sfan5 and class Program should be class ProgramState (at least it's more like that) 20:49 gravgun it's both actually... 20:49 gravgun as I don't intend the code to be self-modifying, your suggestion is right 20:49 sfan5 Program is just std::queue instructions; 20:49 gravgun typedef? 20:49 sfan5 having a stack and pc if you want to pass around a program is a waste of resources 20:49 sfan5 typedef would be goo 20:49 sfan5 d 20:51 gravgun updated paste 20:52 sfan5 what does emit() do? 20:52 paramat thanks 20:53 gravgun Those are therefore supposed to be in some kind of Program factory, they just emit instructions and append them to the std::queue 20:53 sfan5 which std::queue? 20:53 sfan5 there is none 20:53 gravgun typedef std::queue Program; 20:53 sfan5 that doesn't define a variable 20:54 gravgun not anymore according to my changes... 20:54 sfan5 it didn't define one before either 20:55 gravgun it did, it was in "class Program" 20:55 gravgun changed to ProgramState 20:55 sfan5 wat 20:55 sfan5 you can't just . 20:55 sfan5 you need an instance of the class 20:55 sfan5 ProgramState.pc = 0; is not going to work 20:55 gravgun there was an instance 20:55 gravgun 20:55 gravgun class Program { 20:55 gravgun std::queue instructions; 20:55 gravgun std::stack stack; 20:55 gravgun int pc; 20:56 gravgun }; 20:56 gravgun 20:56 sfan5 thats not an instance 20:56 gravgun Program pgm; 20:56 sfan5 thats a class def 20:56 gravgun 20:56 sfan5 what 20:56 sfan5 where 20:56 sfan5 hm 20:56 sfan5 didn't see that 20:56 gravgun And what is "Program pgm" then? 20:56 gravgun :P 20:56 gravgun got removed too 20:57 gravgun Basically, those emitX() methods are here to create the program, step by step, to be called by a future asm syntax parser 20:58 gravgun But i'll need to move them somewhere else 20:59 gravgun and they'll possibly be exposed to the Lua API, in case someone writes a compiler of some kind 21:00 gravgun the same ways GCC directly feeds its assembler (as) when not using (temporary) .s files 21:05 ShadowNinja ninnghazad: You can use get_staticdata(). 21:06 ShadowNinja ninnghazad: Really a #minetest question though. 21:16 gravgun BTW isn't this commit pretty useless? https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/d1ccc64e1ecfd00df36d2b8a8b3420b70434fefd Because ISO C++ (98) 7.1§1 says "If the first enumerator has no initializer, the value of the corresponding constant is zero." 21:17 PenguinDad gravgun: we already figured that out :P 21:19 gravgun Well people, have a good night/day (depending on where you are :P ). Already 23:20 in France ;) Bye 21:42 RealBadAngel hi guys 21:43 RealBadAngel im at the final testing stage for meshnodes 21:43 RealBadAngel http://i.imgur.com/ECELl3Y.png 21:43 RealBadAngel i had to learn blender a bit ;) 22:12 paramat Hi RealBadAngel, if meshnodes eventually replace nodeboxes (i'm keen to see the speed increase), how will you achieve faces-shading that matches normal nodes? and how will you map 6 textures onto top, base, N, S, E, W as currently? =) 22:14 RealBadAngel paramat, meshnodes are shaded basing on surface normals (so its working). bumpmapping and parallax is working too 22:15 RealBadAngel about UVing objects: tiles are used to describe materials of the object 22:15 RealBadAngel if you have more than one object in the mesh you can have different textures for them, described in tiles 22:16 RealBadAngel but one tile can hold whole texture for a object 22:16 RealBadAngel you need to define uv for it in blender 22:17 RealBadAngel http://i.imgur.com/nuYwyFY.png 22:17 RealBadAngel this is texture file for mushroom 22:18 ShadowNinja paramat: With models you can map a face of the model to an arbritrary section on an image, that's how the default character.x works. 22:18 paramat ah so the surface normals define a 'blend' of our current top, base, N, S, E, W shades ... 22:19 RealBadAngel theres no top, bottom etc anymore 22:19 RealBadAngel all has to be done in blender 22:20 RealBadAngel you just cut a piece of texture and assign it to vertices 22:21 RealBadAngel thx to that you dont care anymore bout it. and can scale it, rotate or whatever 22:21 RealBadAngel meshnodes doesnt need textures rotating code like nodeboxes do 22:24 paramat if you want meshes to replace nodeboxes, people will not want to use blender for texturing, they will want a simple way similar to how it is now 22:24 paramat also, people will want to define a nodebox in a simple way (as it is now) and have code convert that into a mesh 22:25 RealBadAngel nodeboxes will be turned into meshes on startup 22:25 paramat cool 22:25 RealBadAngel folks can wait for game to load a bit longer 22:26 paramat because the current nodebox definition is simple and easy, even i wouldn't want to use blender for that 22:26 RealBadAngel but if a stairs nodebox with just 2 boxes is slower than 7k vertices r2d2 model then its worth it 22:26 paramat yes i agree 22:27 RealBadAngel my target is to leave in custom drawtypes only those which are changing, are dynamical 22:27 RealBadAngel rest will be turned into native irrlicht ones 22:29 RealBadAngel but anyway, one with a bit of blender experience can replace almost any drawtype with meshnode 22:30 paramat so meshnode shading (by surface normals) roughly matches the current shading of nodes? (top brightest, base darkest, EW faces slightly darker than NS faces? 22:30 RealBadAngel with far more better results 22:30 RealBadAngel yes 22:30 paramat good 22:30 RealBadAngel mesh comes with precalculated normals 22:31 RealBadAngel whats more interesting can be cloned into mesh with tangents 22:32 RealBadAngel but thats for laters 22:32 RealBadAngel atm i will add static meshes 22:33 RealBadAngel i know how to make also animated ones but this is far more complicated than static 22:33 paramat for example, if i make a simple mesh which has all faces axis-aligned (like stairs) it would be good to be able to simply assign 6 textures to top/base/n/s/e/w as currently, without using blender 22:33 RealBadAngel and will require static in the first place 22:34 RealBadAngel paramat, you should check out terasology 22:34 paramat aha i have 22:34 RealBadAngel they are using clean models without textures 22:34 RealBadAngel to define everything 22:34 RealBadAngel and adding just textures 22:34 paramat their shaders look horrible =) 22:34 RealBadAngel theyre good 22:34 RealBadAngel but damn slow 22:34 paramat lol i would say that 22:36 RealBadAngel but again, about stairs example 22:36 RealBadAngel you can define uv based on one texture 22:36 RealBadAngel like player model does 22:36 RealBadAngel and know which parts of it are sides 22:37 paramat ah okay 22:37 RealBadAngel then using the same model for another node and modified texture 22:37 paramat editing the character model texture is easy enough 22:38 RealBadAngel you know that theyre meshes? 22:38 RealBadAngel so why do you think meshnodes will be harder? ;) 22:38 paramat well now i understand, thanks 22:39 RealBadAngel also fun fact: size of texture will not matter 22:40 RealBadAngel mapping will stay the same 22:40 RealBadAngel you can have textures 1024x and 16x for the very same mesh 22:41 RealBadAngel and they will be properly mapped without any effort 22:43 paramat i want to see your work merged, so my advice is don't mix your speed-improving work with controversial changes to MT's visual style. i think this is why your pulls get blocked so often 22:43 RealBadAngel how folks will use meshes is not my concern 22:44 RealBadAngel accusing hammer producer that it was used to smash some1 in the head instead to a nail would be the same 22:45 RealBadAngel drawtype itself doesnt change anything in the game 22:45 RealBadAngel it just offers unlimited possibilities 22:46 RealBadAngel rest is up to modders 22:49 jin_xi so, i think i just had a genius idea for dynamic textures: what if we create a [dynamic texture modifier, so it creates a texture with _two_ textures? 22:50 jin_xi so you can switch them instead of creating new ones endlessly 22:50 RealBadAngel ehm, we do have such mechanism already? 22:51 jin_xi so digilines and signs and similar mods could work better 22:51 jin_xi RealBadAngel: what? 22:51 RealBadAngel tiles and special tiles 22:51 jin_xi no, for dynamic textures which are changed in-game 22:51 RealBadAngel ofc 22:51 RealBadAngel theres a PR waiting that does it 22:51 jin_xi oh 22:52 RealBadAngel you simply define one set in tiles, another in special tiles 22:52 RealBadAngel MSB of param2 switches them 22:52 RealBadAngel runtime 22:52 jin_xi but what if your texture is going to change? 22:52 RealBadAngel for any kind of drawtype 22:53 paramat RBA, for example, 'disable crack animation' pull is, i suspect, being delayed partly because you increased number of digging particles 22:53 RealBadAngel by 3 22:53 RealBadAngel ROTFL 22:53 RealBadAngel while dug one has way more 22:54 RealBadAngel some folks are just idk, sarcastic? dumb? ironic? 22:54 RealBadAngel no comments anymore ;) 22:55 RealBadAngel calling 3 particles 300% when dug one has a few k %? 22:57 RealBadAngel https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/src/particles.cpp#L242 22:58 RealBadAngel so following, dug one has 3200% more particles, and you can live with it :P 22:59 RealBadAngel not to mention SN proposed once to increase that number already 22:59 RealBadAngel by 25600% :P 23:01 RealBadAngel https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/943 23:04 proller rewrite particles first 23:04 RealBadAngel not my job, jin_xi is doing that 23:06 RealBadAngel proller, and btw, you should know im developing the code on rather low end hardware 23:06 RealBadAngel 1,8ghz dual core, gallium drivers amd 23:06 proller like rpi ? ;) 23:06 RealBadAngel and i wont allow anything that would slow the game for me 23:07 RealBadAngel unlike the other devs im rewriting the code all the time until i get satysfing results 23:07 RealBadAngel and i do measure it 23:08 RealBadAngel i am still a demoscene coder 23:08 proller then you must rewrite most ugly places 23:08 RealBadAngel lol, you never saw really ugly code then ;) 23:09 RealBadAngel but you will, soon 23:09 RealBadAngel with a guarantee it couldnt be done faster 23:11 RealBadAngel point is that coding demos, and games have one goal 23:11 RealBadAngel speed 23:11 RealBadAngel not the nice code 23:11 paramat indeed particles on dig is much higher at 32, however, this is one of those things celeron may not like ;) 23:11 RealBadAngel if some1 thinks otherwise propably he should ask bill to hire him at mc 23:12 proller i'm about slowest places 23:12 jin_xi #of particles and their gravitation and such should not be hardcoded imo 23:12 RealBadAngel proller, 3 particles more doesnt slow anything 23:13 RealBadAngel you know what is slowing your game? like really? 23:13 RealBadAngel cracks 23:13 proller no 23:13 RealBadAngel test the pull, disable the cracks 23:13 RealBadAngel and enjoy :P 23:13 proller cracks and particles slows ONLY on player interact 23:14 proller but here is other slow things 23:14 RealBadAngel you dont get 23:14 RealBadAngel cracks are causing mesh updates for a block 23:14 RealBadAngel so whole mesh is recalculated 23:14 RealBadAngel for 16x16x16 nodes 23:14 proller "it was solved in freeminer" ;) 23:15 RealBadAngel no it wasnt 23:15 RealBadAngel stop trolling :P 23:15 RealBadAngel i did that but you never saw the code :P 23:16 paramat personally, for speed reasons, i want to disable cracks, and not use highlighting, because i don't need to see dig progress. so i want to see your pull merged RBA 23:16 RealBadAngel cracks and highlighting will become independent scene nodes 23:16 proller mesh update - one of ugliest places 23:16 RealBadAngel without need to refresh the mapblock 23:17 RealBadAngel they will just use a copy of single node mesh 23:17 paramat as you probably know, i have similar AV tastes to c55, so if you can keep me happy, there's a chance c55 will merge your work =) 23:18 RealBadAngel paramat, you can define with mesh most simple and dumb voxel node 23:18 RealBadAngel and it will be faster than nodebox 23:18 paramat i would ask to be AV manager but i'm not qualified 23:18 paramat cool 23:18 RealBadAngel but 23:18 RealBadAngel you can use it for something like this: 23:19 RealBadAngel http://i.imgur.com/fUon82U.png 23:19 RealBadAngel its only up to you 23:29 paramat to me that looks ridiculous in a voxel game, however, i think very simple geometric shapes (like sloping roofs) will look okay in MT, and meshes will be good for this 23:30 RealBadAngel also micronodes, nice furniture, complex machines 23:30 RealBadAngel whatever you can imagine 23:31 RealBadAngel without any limitations of nodeboxes 23:32 paramat the digging particles argument: indeed 3 more particles is not much compared to breaking the node, however i suspect c55 and others will not want that changed (even though there is no performance hit), and that should really be a separate pull request 23:34 shadowzone That is one interesting texture. 23:40 RealBadAngel paramat, i wont be changing tested and proven to be fast code basing on some imaginations 23:42 RealBadAngel using the phrase "300%" in the pull was just a pure nonsense 23:42 kahrl the number of particles is really more artistic than performance based 23:42 RealBadAngel and smelled monthy python 23:43 RealBadAngel i raised the number of particles for the valid reason 23:44 RealBadAngel if cracks are disabled the process has to be more visible 23:44 RealBadAngel and it plays nice together with highlighting 23:44 RealBadAngel which also changes when digging 23:44 kahrl but the number is just ridiculously large with the default settings 23:44 kahrl i.e. crack animation, no node highlighting 23:45 RealBadAngel dug one is a bit too much 23:45 RealBadAngel i set it to 4 on punch (digging) 23:45 paramat RBA separating number of dig particles from 'disable crack animations' will not affect your peformance improving code. such an attitude may be why your pulls are often not merged ;) 23:46 RealBadAngel paramat, i dont care anymore if my pulls are merged or not 23:46 RealBadAngel i know im doing good code 23:46 paramat well i care, i want them merged 23:46 RealBadAngel if mt wont have it? pity 23:46 RealBadAngel i will 23:47 paramat separating artistic matters allows your performance code to be merged quickly, unobstructed by artistic arguments 23:47 RealBadAngel coding is an art 23:48 RealBadAngel whoever thinks its a job should use the hammer. to kill himself for sake of humanity 23:49 RealBadAngel any other way we will see M$ each time we will open the fridge 23:51 paramat as i said in the comments, each punch releases 4+ particles already, not 1, so doesn't need increasing much, perhaps double it? i actually think 32 on node break is too much =) 23:52 RealBadAngel before it was just 1 23:52 RealBadAngel now its 4 23:53 RealBadAngel that 32 could be lowered, by half propably 23:53 RealBadAngel hey, thats what Blockmen could understand! MINUS 1600% lol 23:55 kahrl so what about making the number dependent on the crack animation setting?
