04:56 sofar       yikes
04:56 sofar       I think I typed /clearobjects quick
05:15 Sokomine    paramat: there used to be diffrent kind of vines. some where those hanging signlike, some where ones clinging to the underside of dirt blocks
05:15 Sokomine    sofar: the ropebox from vines is a very nice addition to mt
05:16 sofar       I'd like to make it so that there's vines, and you can make rope out of it
05:16 sofar       that way there's 2 uses
05:16 sofar       but, forcing you to choose
05:19 Sokomine    sounds good. the box from vines is self-extending. it works pretty well. iirc only the bottom end can be digged in order to avoid trouble (like player cutting the rope in half a couple of 100 nodes from either end)
05:24 sofar       I'd make it behave like real rope
05:25 sofar       someone could make a grapple gun mod, and then you can defend against climbers by cutting the rope :)
05:28 Sokomine    there's at least one such mod already
05:29 Sokomine    rope is a reasonable addition to a game like this. nice crafting idigrent as well
05:29 sofar       well, it depends on how decent the implementations are
05:29 sofar       I'll have to check it out a bit first :)
05:30 sofar       rope will be nice later on, it's a good base ingredient

10:01 ShadowBot   srifqi: O.K.
10:07 srifqi      Why https://travis-ci.org/minetest/minetest/jobs/117924935 failed on unit test: testStartStopWait ?
10:45 celeron55   somebody needs to disable that test or fix that network stuff on OS X
10:45 celeron55   literally nobody cares if that test works or not on that platform
10:45 celeron55   but still makes the build results show as if the build completely failed
11:05 OldCoder    No Mac people play MT? O_O
11:13 nrzkt       no because MT is not expensive :p
11:58 rom1504     if you sell it, they will play
12:30 est31       celeron55, there is a fix proposed here: #3824

14:01 luizrpgluiz that day comes the version 0.4.14?
14:02 red-001     I think the release is delayed
14:03 luizrpgluiz I thought it would be today the launch
14:04 red-001     that the feature freeze
14:04 red-001     meaning new feature wouldn't be added
14:04 red-001     features*
14:07 luizrpgluiz red-001: you know that day will launch the new version?
14:09 Fixer       not yet
20:01 sofar       paramat: I'd love to maybe do a video on all of the 0.4.14 features that are notable, have you thought of making a high-level changelog so that we can make a "video changelog" ? :)
20:01 sofar       I'm thinking of doing a more technical version, so that guys like nathan etc. can make popular versions of it.
20:03 paramat     hm i might be able to make an overview of mapgen changes
20:03 paramat     i like your 6hr video
20:04 sofar       I thought it would be useful for various uses
20:04 sofar       I made sure to mark it CC-BY-SA
20:06 sofar       should we maybe track a changelog in a github issue? one for mt and one for mtg?
20:29 paramat     possibly a good idea. i do like to summarise mapgen development
20:56 paramat     nore sfan5 game#971 i'm a masochist for doing this :}

20:56 sfan5       can i have a side-by-side comparison
20:56 sfan5       i mean
20:56 sfan5       i like it
20:57 sfan5       still a comparison would be nice
20:57 paramat     a screenshot comparison ok
21:06 paramat     sfan5 comparison added. no rush on this it can always be changed during freeze and it can possibly be improved
21:07 sfan5       nice
21:07 sfan5       approved.
21:07 sofar       lol
21:07 sofar       merge it, ha!
21:07 paramat     you know grass is astonishingly difficult to texture
21:07 sofar       (I'm fine with it, tbh)
21:07 sofar       no kidding
21:07 paramat     ok thanks i'll give it some extra time
21:08 paramat     it's such an important texture i want all devs to be reasonably ok with it
21:08 paramat     (or at least not hate it)
21:09 paramat     when i was making my own texture pack grass was the most difficult one, by far

21:27 sofar       I wish I had an actual pathing algorithm that could make it fly in the air at random heights, but always above the landscape
21:28 sfan5       should be pretty simple, no?
21:29 sfan5       get height of next 10 nodes to fly over
21:29 sfan5       calculate constant y accel using those
21:36 Fixer       thanks for link, btw, LazyJ said that some time ago loading all player profiles at start was fixed and now they load only when player joins, but I have a problem finding this comment, are you sure that was change? some people push myth that removing player files helps to reduce lag/speed up time blabla
21:37 Fixer       comment=commit
21:37 paramat     is this video mgv7?
21:38 paramat     seems so
21:38 Fixer       ugh, why so slow? %)
21:38 sofar       paramat: yes
21:39 sofar       Fixer: because I wanted to create a looooong video
21:39 sofar       the video only covers about 16km, btw :)
21:40 sofar       why would all player data be loaded on server start?
21:42 ssieb       Fixer: since I can change the player data for unconnected players, it definitely seems that way
21:42 sofar       is there somenone online who has forum admin access?
21:43 sfan5       depends on what you need
21:44 sofar       I'd like a topic moved and made sticky
21:44 sofar       and/or :)
21:44 sfan5       mods can do that too
21:44 sofar       I figured, your mcedit/schematic post is fine an sich
21:44 sofar       I should just have mcimport be side-by-side sticky instead
21:45 sfan5       link?
21:45 sofar       https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=13709&p=201051
21:45 sofar       that way it'll be easy for people to decide which method to use
21:45 sofar       I've cleaned up the post even further as well, and am doing more to it.
21:46 sfan5       done
21:47 sofar       move it to "Maps"
21:47 sfan5       right
21:48 sofar       thanks!
21:49 paramat     farmap brings out the epicness of mgv7
21:52 nrzkt       sofar, CC0 is not a license for source code... :(
21:52 nrzkt       use BSD license if you want a very free license
21:53 Calinou     nrzkt, CC0 can be used on source code, get to the facts :)
21:53 red-001     why is CC0 a bad idea?
21:53 Calinou     it can be used on anything
21:53 Calinou     it's public domain dedication, and a very permissive license in cases where it is not possible
21:53 Calinou     https://gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CC0
21:53 paramat     my only preference would be to push farmap to beyond 256, it's just a little too close
21:53 nrzkt       BSD license is permissive: get my code, don't spit on me and go
21:53 nrzkt       :p
21:54 Calinou     (note: the OSI does not approve CC0 as an open source license, because it explicitly denies patent rights)
21:55 paramat     but of course, FPS. excellent video

22:00 sofar       nrzkt: I agree it's a bad license
22:00 sofar       I'll likely end up MIT-ing it then
22:02 sofar       that or apache-2.0
22:02 sofar       tbh I keep getting back to lgpl-2.1+ as best license so far
22:02 Calinou     LGPL is even longer than plain GPL :|
22:03 Calinou     (this is true for both v2.1 and v3)
22:03 sofar       for obvious reasons
22:03 sofar       it contains exceptions
22:03 Calinou     exceptions, exceptions... eventually your license becomes longer and more complex than a typical non-free EULA
22:04 red-001     not *all* EULA are long
22:04 red-001     just most
22:07 nrzkt       sofar, why not BSD ? it's near CC0 and adapted to software :)
22:12 sofar       X11 or MIT are just simpler versions
22:24 est31       i dont think that brevity is a feature of licenses
22:28 est31       especially if a market is populated by non-free software a copyleft license is best
22:28 sofar       for end-user software shipped in binary format, I strongly agree
22:28 sofar       for mcimport, it's just a format converted tool
22:29 est31       yeah its far too small to benefit from copyleft
22:29 sofar       most of my actual projects are all gpl-3 or lgpl
22:29 sofar       even work stuff
