05:00 paramat    hi hmmmm i'd like to merge https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/3379 'Mapgen: Add global 'decorations' flag' later, please could you check it?
07:35 OldCoder   Correct usage of new parameter? minetest.register_abm({ catch_up = false,
07:36 sfan5      OldCoder: like this https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/commit/e41a411f1c948fa4bb79562ab9bf80a5bd757efe
07:37 OldCoder   As I just showed, then>
07:37 OldCoder   As I just showed, then? *
07:44 sfan5      yes
07:48 OldCoder   sfan5, one of worlds is abruptly filled with one million eggs
07:48 OldCoder   one of my *
07:49 OldCoder   This is a lot of egg salad
10:51 paramat    since hmmmmm is not around can anyone with some knowledge of mapgen flags review/approve https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/3379 ?
14:08 crazyR     Hey all, is there any documentation regarding the Settings() function.
16:37 est31      crazyR, that function is a constructor
16:37 est31      for a settings object
16:39 crazyR     i know. its the methods from the object that i need information about, i now theres :set() :get() :write() :to_table()  but what if i wanted to get a number, bool. do i have to wrap the results in tonumber() etc or does the object from Settings provide a way to get the various data types?
16:40 est31      there is only this http://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/lua_api.html#settings
16:40 est31      the c++ version of that does have such a feature
16:40 est31      but not the lua version
16:41 est31      and even if one would add such a feature to the c++ version, it wouldn't use anything
16:42 est31      because the c++ version itself does similar conversion
16:42 est31      it always stores stuff as string
16:42 est31      bad behaviour I know
16:44 crazyR     the issue im having is if i store -200 as a string then try to convert it to a number with tonumber() any arithmetic that us done on it fails because tonumber() returns nil
16:44 est31      tonumber("-200") returns nil?!
16:45 sfan5      my installation of lua 5.3 begs to differ
16:45 sfan5      it returns -200 (as expected)=
16:47 crazyR     hmm actualy, ive just done a test on an isolated clean install and seem to return the correct result as above.
16:47 crazyR     il have to look into it, must be something else
17:01 crazyR     my bad, turns out there was a spelling mistake in the config file.
20:11 est31      paramat you there?
20:12 est31      idk really why there is a mgv6 trees flag needed
20:12 est31      I already see there is a global trees flag?
20:12 est31      perhaps approving your pr would be easier if the trees stuff were separate
20:12 est31      is it separable?
21:48 rubenwardy It seems that the behaviour of hud_set_flags has changed
21:48 rubenwardy now flag=nil means flag=false
21:48 rubenwardy rather than before, where flag=nil meant no change.

21:50 est31      the last time I recall a change was when hmm has added the minimap disable feature
21:50 est31      right before 0.4.13 release
22:43 est31      wow looking at the minecraft protocol, seems mojang control is baked into it. quite impressive.
