Time Nick Message 03:49 SloanOnLinux hi 05:46 paramat ~tell tenplus1 saplings need light 13, only a meselamp (light level 14) directly next to (not diagonally adjacent) will work 05:46 ShadowBot paramat: O.K. 07:15 Zeno` I don't get what's going on with #4142 07:15 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/4142 -- Item description bug 07:16 Zeno` ugh 07:16 Zeno` the macro is wrong 07:19 Zeno` I dunno... I think it's insane 07:19 Zeno` or I am 07:19 Zeno` maybe I need to nest #ifs instead of having it all on one line, I dunno 07:20 Zeno` it seems like it should be much simpler than this :/ 07:21 Zeno` yeah it needs to be nested ifs to check the version correctly 07:21 Zeno` *sigh* 07:29 Zeno` rofl 07:30 Zeno` http://dpaste.com/3YYQZ9J 07:30 Zeno` very elegant :) 07:30 Zeno` missing an endif 07:30 Zeno` http://dpaste.com/2KQVSFK 07:31 Zeno` surely there is a better way :/ 07:31 Zeno` actually that will break for version 1.9.0, 1.9.1 etc 07:32 Zeno` need more nesting! 07:37 Zeno` actually, bugger it 07:38 Zeno` something like #if (IRRLICHT_VERSION_MAJOR * 100000 + IRRLICHT_VERSION_MINOR * 100 + IRRLICHT_VERSION_REVISION) > 010802 07:38 Zeno` >= 07:46 celeron55 yeah, except that obviously 10000 instead of 100000 and 10802 instead of 010802 07:49 Zeno` oops, yes 07:49 Zeno` I just typed that to give a general idea though... not on my dev computer 07:52 Krock why not just add a new makro to convert that MAJOR MINOR REVISION mess into a single number? 07:52 Krock so that one could be used in the whole project 07:54 Zeno` it's probably worthwhile yes 08:00 Zeno` Krock, certainly worthwhile because there are similar issues elsewhere in the code 08:01 Krock yes and those #if checks could be so much shorter with less effort 08:03 Zeno` it should probably be in cmake though 08:09 Zeno` #4302 08:09 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/4302 -- Change method for checking Irrlicht version; fixes tooltip height bug by Zeno- 08:10 paramat nice 08:10 Zeno` I'm cooking dinner but I might look into the cmake thing after dinner 08:12 Krock testing #4303 08:12 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/4303 -- Anticheat: Use the physics_override modifiers aswell by SmallJoker 08:15 Zeno` what's an item /msg Krock hi 08:15 Zeno` oops 08:16 Zeno` that didn't work out well 08:16 Krock lolwat 08:32 Zeno` #4142 doesn't make sense 08:32 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/4142 -- Item description bug 08:32 Zeno` from irrlicht changelog " IGUIStaticText::getTextHeight returns now the correct height for texts with newlines even WordWrap is not set." 08:32 Zeno` (for 1.8.2) 08:32 Zeno` but the rpgtest mod needs the /old/ code 08:36 Zeno` hmm 08:55 OldCoder A world host has noted that 0.4.14 changes F10 to make console takes 100% of screen 08:55 OldCoder She greatly objects. Would it make sense to allow the percentage to be a preference? 08:56 OldCoder make console take * 08:56 OldCoder There are no performance issues involved 08:58 VanessaE tell her to press T instead. 08:58 OldCoder Is there a reason this could not be a preference? 08:58 VanessaE idk. I objected as well. 08:58 Krock Yes, the regular chat window shows a minimized form of F10 08:59 VanessaE I suppose at the end, it's probably best this way 08:59 OldCoder Krock, right... a very short form 08:59 OldCoder Is there a reason the player could not be empowered 08:59 VanessaE since T or / will bring up the short console and you could use F10 for the large one 08:59 OldCoder to select other than the hardwired nmber? 08:59 OldCoder See question; would there be any reason 09:00 OldCoder Not to allow player to override? 09:00 Krock I think it should be possible to configure the shown lines in the T-chat windows instead of F10 09:00 Krock because F10 is like the full-chatter mode 09:00 OldCoder Krock, see question 09:00 OldCoder For any mode 09:00 OldCoder Where testing for a preference 09:00 OldCoder and implementing it 09:00 Krock so, two settings 09:00 OldCoder Does not slow things 09:00 OldCoder Possibly two preferences, yes 09:01 OldCoder For any mode where testing for a preference and implementing 09:01 OldCoder does not slow performance 09:01 OldCoder Would there be any reason to object to such a preference? 09:02 Krock I'd say that belongs into a new GitHub issue ^^ 09:02 OldCoder Just garnering initial input 09:02 OldCoder Thank you 09:04 Zeno` I participated in that discussion as well 09:05 Zeno` to me it seems silly to have a 2560x1440 console heh 09:05 Zeno` and that assumes I'm not using all 3 monitors! 09:06 Krock you have a long chat history. that needs space :P 09:06 T4im some margin + a bit more padding wouldn't hurt it 09:07 T4im just to have the text a bit off the screen edges (which might make the fullscreen issue less of an issue) 09:14 OldCoder So, let each player choose what works for him or her 09:14 * OldCoder will work up a pull request this Summer 09:14 OldCoder Default can be 100% (or maybe 98%) if that was consensus before 10:15 paramat no setting needed for F10 because that is obviously intended to be fullscreen. if there's a setting it only needs to be for 'T' 10:16 paramat the whole screen going dark with F10 is actually helpful visually, makes the text easier to read 10:19 paramat indeed a few columns of indent might be nice to bring text in from screen edge, but keep the screen dark all the way to the edge 10:27 Zeno` I actually find long (non-wrapped) harder to read 10:27 Zeno` at least slower 10:41 T4im harder, but faster, apparently 10:41 T4im "Other studies […] continued to show that reading rates increased as characters per line increased. These same studies have reliably shown that users prefer shorter line lengths." 10:43 Zeno` maybe faster because they never get to the end of the line before reading the next =D 10:43 T4im well, I guess because you don't have to carriage return your eyes :P 10:43 T4im at the same time, it's probably easier to get "lost", I'd imagine 10:44 T4im or in a multi monitor setup, carriage returning your head, Zeno` ;) 10:44 Zeno` I dunno 10:44 Zeno` I don't read just a single word at once 10:45 Zeno` maybe I'm just weird but I read in "chunks" and I do get lost on long lines 10:45 T4im there must be some usability studies that can recommend a line lengths, I mean neither too short nor too long is nice 10:46 Zeno` it's not really related to the current issue though... line lengths are the same whether the console takes up 10% or 100% of the vertical space 10:46 T4im they are fixed width? 10:46 Zeno` they are however wide the console is 10:47 Zeno` I don't think they wrap do they? 10:47 T4im nvm, I overread the "vertical" in your sentence 10:47 Zeno` heh 10:47 Zeno` I think my IRC window fits about 80-120 characters across 10:48 Zeno` I could count them I guess :/ 10:48 Zeno` 76-80 10:48 T4im you could also copy a text of the right width into a console and pipe it to "wc" 10:48 Zeno` exactly what I just did heh 10:49 Zeno` it's 78 10:49 Zeno` I wonder how that happened 10:49 Zeno` I never explicitly set the line width, just adjusted window size and pane sizes until it looked "right" 10:50 Zeno` I never explicitly set the line width, just adjusted window size and pane sizes until it looked "right" 10:52 Zeno` nvm, I overread the "vertical" in your sentence <--- What's your characters per line set to? 10:52 Zeno` :D 10:53 T4im 137 including names and timestamps 10:53 T4im but that constantly changes :P 10:53 Zeno` well, that should be ok 10:53 Zeno` I accept your characters per line 10:53 Zeno` lol 10:55 T4im it appears the whole faster vs acceptance idea seems to be widespread in usability recommendations 10:55 paramat yeah i prefer shorter lines too, easier to locate the next line to read 10:57 paramat most chat is short lines anyway 10:57 Zeno` I think paramat hit the nail on the head 10:58 Zeno` if I scan across a huge line of text my eye loses track of where the next line is when I get to the end of the line and they jump back to the left hand side 10:58 Zeno` T4im, so studies say longer lines are better? 10:59 paramat shorter is certainly optimum, 'faster' is not better 10:59 Zeno` for speed? 10:59 T4im ah, that explains the acceptance part, it's a trade off between carriage return amount and time 11:00 Zeno` interesting 11:05 T4im well, if you think of it, it's plausible, for the same text you have more CR with shorter lines, but also can aim faster (a CR should follow fitt's law here, which means distance decreases speed and size of the target increases it) 11:05 T4im but if you increase text size, you make the lines shorter again x) 11:07 Zeno` I just did my own study and concluded that short lines are faster AND easier to read 11:08 Zeno` will submit to Journal of Psychology once I write the paper 11:09 Zeno` I'll mention fitt's law to sound cool 11:10 T4im it's a fundamental thing to consider in ui's, imo 11:10 Zeno` will give me credibility with the journal's editors if a cite /something/ at least 11:10 T4im :D 11:10 * T4im feels mocked 11:10 Zeno` nah I was mocking myself really 11:11 Zeno` but I see my mistake and how you may have felt that. I apologise 11:11 T4im heh, no prob 11:12 T4im lets not force wrap text though :P I think that might mess with tabular printed data for example 11:12 Zeno` yeah 11:12 T4im which doesn't have the problem of long lines anway as much 11:13 Zeno` we could always use latex to process the console and present the console as a PDF anyway 11:13 T4im image replacement might actually be a cool thing 11:14 T4im "Hey, could you please stop placing [default:cobble] everywhere?" 11:15 Zeno` :-o 11:16 T4im might also help with a few language barrier issues then 11:17 T4im "no [default:cobble]! nein! nei! ne!" 11:17 T4im x) 11:20 Zeno` well, it does have some merit 11:20 Zeno` and would look cool for sure 11:21 Calinou emoji in Minetest! 11:22 SloanOnLinux What?? :o 11:24 SloanOnLinux Calinou: Tell me more 11:24 Calinou no, they aren't here 11:25 Calinou but what Zeno` suggested is close to emoji 11:27 Zeno` T4im suggested it 12:35 paramat nore any opinion on game#1002 ?

But now I'm confused. When I set the blue return value to day + night, the blue shows up in artificial light sources. 19:23 rdococ I'm not exactly sure what these values mean, but I don't think that's meant to happen. Correct me if I'm wrong. 19:25 Krock well, our shaders expert is not here anymore. Not sure if anyone can help you 19:28 rdococ "Light intensity is parsed as a fake SColor... where the Red means sun light, Green means moon light, Blue means light sources." from a post 19:29 rdococ However, underground where there are no caves, sunlight and moonlight must be zero, yes? 19:30 rdococ Now, if the return color, the color that I believe is the one actually used, has a blue value of color.b = day + night, then why would the torch light appear light blue? 19:30 rdococ Am I missing something here? I'm really confused. 19:31 rdococ (There is the chance that the lighting system has changed since Mon Apr 15, the day the post was made.) 19:31 VanessaE it wouldn't. light sources are always hard-coded to appear yellowish 19:31 VanessaE it's been the bane of many modders for a while now :) 19:32 rdococ I'm messing around with the node shader. I wanted to make it appear more yellowish to give it an effect. 19:32 paramat i don't understand that code (yet) 19:33 rdococ Additionally, it looks like I made night look as bright as day. 19:33 rdococ But only the blue increases with moonlight. 19:34 rdococ (in the code.) 19:46 rdococ okay, so I've mapped the rgb values to the fake values - red means sunlight, green means "moonlight" and blue means "artificial light" 19:54 rdococ I've got it under control now. In my experience, the "red" means natural light and the "green" means artificial light. I use dayNightRatio to then distinguish day from night. 19:59 rdococ huh... 19:59 rdococ apparently, red increases with artificial light too 20:00 rdococ but this hits the 1.0 limit when light from a torch combines with natural lighting. so I can't tell between torch light alone, and natural plus torch light 20:01 rdococ actually, no, there's a chance I still can 20:01 rdococ wait, no, there isnt 20:14 rdococ but it looks cool 20:16 rdococ Hmm... do you think night time should be blue or purple? 20:46 rdococ How are you meant to distinguish torch light in the day from torch light underground?! 21:02 paramat deep blue. full moon light is scattered as in daytime to create blue sky 21:18 rdococ k 21:19 rdococ I wish I could tell whether torch light is in daylight or if it's shadowed... 21:19 rdococ but I don't think I can 21:55 rdococ ty
