01:09 paramat game#479 fixes some issues with 'absheight' in ore definitions. mapgen aliases are added for mgv6's optional snow biomes, and the unnecessary ore aliases are deleted
01:09 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/479 -- default/mapgen.lua: Remove absheight to remove rare ores from mgv5/mgv7 mountains by paramat

03:36 luizrpgluiz left #minetest-dev
03:42 hmmmm paramat, better idea:  remove absheight altogether.
03:42 hmmmm those were ONLY there for the purpose of accomodating proller's hardcoded floatlands
04:24 Zeno` joined #minetest-dev
04:48 chchjesus joined #minetest-dev
05:03 paramat joined #minetest-dev
05:05 paramat yes i'm tempted to do that, absheight is a little crude in the way it mirrors around y = 0
05:13 paramat okay will do. if ores are enabled for future (or custom noiseparam) floatlands it can be done more intelligently than using absheight
05:20 OldCoder joined #minetest-dev
05:40 srifqi joined #minetest-dev
05:45 hmmmm absheight isn't crude, it does what it's supposed to do well
05:45 hmmmm what's crude is the use of absheight because proller was too lazy to register his own set of ores for his own mapgen
05:46 hmmmm it did cut down on a lot of duplication, sure i agree
05:46 paramat yes
05:46 hmmmm but you could've also wrapped it in a loop
05:46 hmmmm in fact this almost makes me want to remove absheight but obviously can't do that
05:51 paramat looks like 'blit leaves to voxelmanip' in treegen.cpp can be optimised by incrementing the indexes along x instead of calculating them for every node, i'll try it. currently coding mgv6 pinetrees
05:52 hmmmm treegen.cpp is a ghetto
05:52 hmmmm i don't bother with that
05:53 paramat lol ghetto
05:56 paramat erm 'make tree' uses 'MMVManip &vmanip' while jungletree uses 'VoxelManipulator &vmanip', should i update 'make tree'?
05:57 paramat soon be a speed optimised ghetto
05:57 hmmmm hrm
05:57 Zeno` O.o
05:58 Zeno` most ghettos are probably already full of speed
05:58 hmmmm a lot of these instances don't need to be map voxel manipualtors, why do they need to know anything about the map?
05:58 hmmmm this is where the ManualVoxelManipulator would be used but this class was eliminated precisely because it wasn't used :)
05:58 hmmmm celeron came up with a nice abstraction idea that was simply never utilized in practice
05:59 hmmmm I'd just make them all MMVManip now
05:59 Tablet_One Zeno`, rotf xD
05:59 paramat ah okay
06:00 srifqi joined #minetest-dev
06:03 paramat 'make tree' also has the amazing 'vmanip.getNodeNoExNoEmerge(p1).getContent()' line
06:04 Zeno` did anyone get a chance to check #2569?
06:04 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2569 -- Android fix buildbugs by Zeno-
06:06 Zeno` buildbugs are kind of like ladybugs
06:06 Zeno` but not an insect
06:06 Tablet_One xD
06:07 Tablet_One I haven't gotten to try it yet
06:08 Tablet_One I should have the Android Studio set up tomorrow, so I can build and test apks
06:09 Zeno` The issue is that the new makefile (before the patch) overrides stuff like USE_SOUND (setting them to 0) so those options are disabled with no way to enable them
06:11 Zeno` So at the moment Android builds have no sound, no freetype and ... something else I cannot remember
06:11 hmmmm joined #minetest-dev
06:11 Tablet_One Working shaders? :P
06:11 Zeno` well it's never had those heh
06:12 Tablet_One Oh lol
06:12 Zeno` Until yesterday we had sound though :p
06:12 Tablet_One Ah
06:12 Tablet_One That could be problematic :P

14:13 VanessaE I'm fidding around with a particle spawner...  if setting time=0, particles don't move.
14:14 VanessaE and they don't seem to expire either
14:16 hmmmm pretty sure the particle spawner is slated for a total rewrite soon
14:19 VanessaE perhaps, but the API won't likely change I hope.

14:39 Zeno` does #2567 raise issues with anyone?
14:39 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2567 -- On Android enable always fast by Zeno-
14:40 hmmmm maybe it would be a good idea if you clarified the rationale for this in your PR
14:40 hmmmm people who've never played it on android don't quite understand the concern
14:40 Zeno` err there's no fast key?
14:41 Zeno` too late, it had already been reviewed so I pushed :(
14:41 hmmmm well
14:41 hmmmm personally what i would do is define a fast key
14:41 hmmmm and make it sticky unlike how it works on PC
14:42 Zeno` I thought of that as well, but the problem is the android controls are already klunky and hard to use
14:42 Zeno` you need 22.5 fingers
14:43 Zeno` actually 19 fingers might be ok
14:43 hmmmm how does minecraft PE work on a tablet??
14:44 Zeno` no idea... want to buy me a copy? :D
14:44 MinetestForFun joined #minetest-dev
14:44 hmmmm they probably have the correct formula figured out already

14:45 * Zeno` waits for hmmmm's donation
14:45 MinetestForFun joined #minetest-dev
14:45 Zeno` in Australia it costs $280 btw
14:45 Zeno` just send it to my palpal
14:45 hmmmm wha?
14:46 Zeno` ok, maybe not that much
14:46 Zeno` heh
14:46 hmmmm i'm not your pal, pal
14:46 Zeno` I am your pal though :(
14:46 hmmmm pal pal
14:46 hmmmm lol
14:46 * Zeno` cries
14:46 hmmmm yarr
14:47 Zeno` you my best buddy! Well... you were :(
14:47 Zeno` Now I am alone and lonely
14:47 hmmmm if i were to use it just to figure out how the controls work, i'd personall just pirate it for 5 minutes
14:47 VanessaE looking at the controls of minecraft PE in some google images, well...I told sapier to do this same thing ages ago
14:47 hmmmm what is the "thing"?
14:48 Zeno` a movie I think
14:48 VanessaE four-way movement control
14:48 VanessaE instead of the T-shaped cluster
14:49 hmmmm my mom's friend's grandchildren have minecraft PE i think
14:49 VanessaE "The Android and iOS versions feature a D-pad at the bottom-left corner of the screen, which controls movement. The jump button is located in the center of the d-pad. When moving forward, two strafing buttons will appear"
14:49 VanessaE http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Pocket_Edition?cookieSetup=true#Android_.26_iOS
14:49 hmmmm my mom hates minecraft because "they have slenderman on there!"
14:50 Zeno` how does that layout enable run/fast?
14:51 hmmmm meh, I'm not going to bug near-complete strangers to let me see the controls
14:51 Zeno` the UI needs redesigning on Android... for now the PR is a fix of sorts
14:51 VanessaE that particular layout doesn't, but I could see a simple way to run fast - make the D-pad proportional.
14:51 Zeno` the T layout is kind of clumsy IMO anyway
14:52 VanessaE move your finger past a certain point, the controls become fast-move controls instead
14:52 Zeno` I don't think irrlicht can do that... I've already thought of that as well
14:52 Zeno` could add invisible controls maybe
14:53 Zeno` or make a whole new widget from scratch (but I'm not sure it's possible)
14:54 Zeno` i.e. from memory irrlicht just sends that a finger press is in the widget and not the actual x,y of the press
14:56 luizrpgluiz joined #minetest-dev
14:57 cd2 joined #minetest-dev
14:58 luizrpgluiz is possible in the future of minetest create a command that transforms the player survival in creative and do the reverse without the server and singleplayer?
14:59 luizrpgluiz this greatly facilitate the management and also game players
14:59 rubenwardy joined #minetest-dev
14:59 roniz joined #minetest-dev
15:01 Zeno` transforms the .... *confused*
15:01 Krock luizrpgluiz, that depends on minetest.conf settings, not on the player's settings
15:02 Krock also, switching from survival to creative uses much more time than /give.
15:16 luizrpgluiz yes, but it activates for everyone and I do not want this, I want to determine who can and can not have the creative and it is very annoying to give picking up all the time
15:20 luizrpgluiz why it would be good to create a command that would be easier for the players and servers without having to be closing and opening the map
15:22 kilbith O_o ...
15:23 rubenwardy There is a mod that allows players to be playing in different modes

16:10 VanessaE run your server in survival mode, and just grant individual users the "creative" privilege and only those users will have access to that feature.
16:10 VanessaE all else will be survival-only.

17:00 Zeno` what is it?
17:01 Krock A "fix" for gettext
17:01 Krock There's no difference from before to now
17:02 BlockMen joined #minetest-dev
17:02 Krock Well, there's a difference: That commit did the opposite. the gettxt translation is now broken
17:06 BlockMen nore, sfan5, ShadowNinja : is it correct that we have 4 clear votes for Game, 3(.5) for Vanilla and 2 which can't decide? game#437
17:06 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/437 -- Rename Minetest (the subgame)
17:07 BlockMen *counting from where is said it needs to be decided now
17:09 VanessaE BlockMen: I'm okay with "Vanilla"..  I particularly like Wuzzy's allusion to "mese" in the name.
17:09 VanessaE "Meseland Vanilla" has an interesting ring to it.
17:09 BlockMen no no, nothing new. Either "Game" or "Vanilla"
17:10 BlockMen also, the vote week is over for ~2 weeks
17:10 VanessaE I never saw the vote :)
17:16 Zeno` I think it should be called creme brulee personally
17:17 Zeno` "Creme Brulee" has a certain nice ring to it
17:18 nrzkt joined #minetest-dev
17:20 rubenwardy Zeno`, +1
17:20 Krock brulée?

17:22 nrzkt same word as  french ? :)
17:34 Player_2 joined #minetest-dev
17:35 Tablet_One joined #minetest-dev
17:35 nore BlockMen, about the name: both Game and Vanilla seem to have equal success, so maybe make a second vote with only these choices?
17:43 BlockMen nore, actually it was already just between those two
17:43 BlockMen idk why ppl keep suggestion more and more...
17:44 kilbith for the sake of talking like in a pub
17:49 ElectronLibre joined #minetest-dev
17:50 rubenwardy Because everyone has differing opinions of a good name. Minetest Base would be my favourite choice for a name, but out of Vanilla and Game I voted Game.
18:02 rubenwardy The selling point we're going with with Minetest is about having a fully customisable game and engine, right?
18:02 rubenwardy (that is unrelated to name change()
18:06 sfan5 BlockMen: i vote for "Minetest Game"
18:07 ekem Minetest Ground
18:08 ekem Mintest Foundation
18:19 rubenwardy "Minetest is a blocky game and a game engine, inspired by InfiniMiner, Minecraft and the like. Minetest is all about customisation - we want you to mod it, so mods are super easy to install and create."
18:24 Krock It sounds better with "super easy to create and install." IMO
18:25 rubenwardy Yeah, that was the original version. I agree.
18:27 rubenwardy F_ck sake, stupid DDOS
18:27 rubenwardy (GitHub)
18:27 rubenwardy Makes me want the death penalty
18:28 rubenwardy Okay, nothing would make me want the death penalty, but they at least need a slap in the face.
18:28 Calinou meh
18:28 Calinou notabug.org is intact :D
18:29 rubenwardy Which no one uses
18:29 Calinou but at least it's intact.
18:29 rubenwardy Yeah
18:29 Calinou using stuff that's not used by everyone is proven to be safer
18:29 Calinou GitHub should just die
18:29 rubenwardy Persuade Minetest to switch, then. That's the reason I use GitHub.
18:30 sfan5 <Calinou> using stuff that's not used by everyone is proven to be safer
18:30 sfan5 ok, lets all use SSL 2.0
18:30 rubenwardy Services rather than software
18:30 rubenwardy And I guess it depends on your definition of "safer"
18:32 Krock rot13 all numbers to make it safer!
18:32 sfan5 ooh, thanks Krock
18:32 sfan5 rubenwardy: so you use /dev/null-as-a-service?
18:32 rubenwardy No idea what that means
18:32 rubenwardy * I guess he means services rather than software
18:33 sfan5 it's a website that simply discards all data you send to it
18:33 sfan5 nobody uses it
18:33 sfan5 but you must be using it because it's proven to be safer
18:33 rubenwardy I don't agree with Calinou, it only works for one definition of safer
18:34 rubenwardy which is that there is less motivation for attackers to attack you, because less bounty
18:34 sfan5 it doesn't depend on the definition of safer
18:34 sfan5 it just doesn't work
18:34 rubenwardy ^^
18:35 rubenwardy I did't mean definition
18:37 BlockMen sfan5, nore : since we have kinda a standoff and sfan5 is _game maintainer and didn't vote yet i would say: game has won
18:37 BlockMen fine with that? can i close that issue?
18:37 BlockMen *vote yet before
18:38 sfan5 I'm find with that
18:38 sfan5 fine*
18:38 rubenwardy Weird, github works in a different browser
18:39 Krock rubenwardy, uh. maybe it's a website? :P
18:39 rubenwardy Never mind
18:39 rubenwardy Page was cached, it appears
18:39 kilbith more suitable for #minetest maybe
18:40 rubenwardy Yeah, probably
18:40 rubenwardy What do o
18:40 rubenwardy damn it
18:41 rubenwardy What do you think about a schematic database, schematic dropper (you can see a semitransparent version of the schematic whilst placing it)
18:42 rubenwardy Build a World is my inspiration
18:42 Krock an ingame database, like a selection/preview menu?
18:42 sfan5 lol
18:42 sfan5 status.github.com is broken for me
18:42 sfan5 but github.com works
18:44 VanessaE "87 hours in, our mitigation is deflecting most attack traffic. We're aware of intermittent issues and continue to adapt our response."
18:44 rubenwardy ingame database where you can view other's schematics. One use would be to create a city without having to place every building.
18:44 VanessaE O_o
18:45 nore BlockMen: I'm fine with it too
18:45 rubenwardy Another idea I had was of a node database, where you can get nodes on an individual basis, like in sims. Select that table, that chair etc.
18:45 rubenwardy But mmdb is more important than that (grr iqualfragile)
18:47 VanessaE rubenwardy: sort of a build-your-own-mod?
18:48 rubenwardy Yeah, for complete noobs, but more downloading individual nodes from a store rather than making your own.
18:48 BlockMen sfan5, nore can game#443 get merged?
18:48 rubenwardy It is better for the whole customisation thing

18:52 VanessaE I would suggest a torch being part of that
18:52 paramat joined #minetest-dev
18:52 BlockMen VanessaE, y? with that change mese get "magic", it glows
18:52 BlockMen so the glowing is the source for the lamp
18:52 BlockMen no need for torches
18:52 VanessaE BlockMen: well, it glows yeah, but it's very common to add a torch to make a light source in other mods
18:52 VanessaE this would simply be consistent, that's all
18:53 VanessaE however, last I knew mese didn't actually glow
18:54 BlockMen VanessaE, torch + glass = lamp is boring
