12:53 paramat ~tell Wuzzy client-server compat was already broken by settable player collisionbox so stepheight breakage makes no difference :] but yes i think we need to bump protocol to 36 and make minimum 36
12:53 ShadowBot paramat: O.K.

15:00 jas_ So if you bump protocol to 36 min/max I can't connect to my 0.4.16-dev server with my mt android client from play store? (nrz)
15:03 jas_ (I am assuming this is the case, so I'm going to try building mt on android myself.)
15:05 jas_ Or is that only when strict_protocol_version_check is on.. *wonders how many 0.4.16-dev servers are updating*
15:07 celeron55 dropping *all* previous protocol versions?
15:08 celeron55 https://i.imgur.com/phrl12s.gifv
15:09 paramat joined #minetest-dev
15:09 jas_ Yes indeed.
15:09 paramat is your android client on 0.4.16 stable?
15:10 jas_ Lemme check. It's whatever is on play store now.
15:10 proller joined #minetest-dev
15:10 paramat probably stable
15:10 jas_ 0.4.16.17
15:11 paramat oh, that's a dev version?
15:12 paramat anyway, if you did connect incompatible client and server it would be unplayable anyway: players offset vertically and stepheight broken
15:13 nerzhul 0.4.16.17 is the 0.4.16-stable
15:13 paramat protocol bump just stops connection before the bugs are experienced
15:13 paramat ah
15:13 jas_ Not the offset for some reason it looks fine.  Dunno bout the stepheight yet.
15:13 nerzhul we really should switch to 0.5.0-dev instead of released-dev...
15:13 jas_ I got custon stu models for multiskin
15:14 paramat your server must be on a commit before 21 july then
15:14 paramat best keep it that way
15:15 paramat that was the date of the first big compat breakage
15:15 paramat nerz i agree
15:16 jas_ nerzhul:
15:17 jas_ Oops sorry.  No i like the dev version and to help test if i can.  Thanks.
15:21 TheReaperKing joined #minetest-dev
15:27 Hunterz joined #minetest-dev
15:30 paramat good that's appreciated
15:30 paramat you'll just have to use a latest client with it then
15:31 paramat game#1876 is ready
15:31 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/1876 -- Farming: Make cotton look like cotton, add crafted string item by paramat
15:53 jas_ i'm on 940bd93e and the models appear fine with android 0.4.16.17 (using stujones11's modified multiskin.b3d character model on server)
15:53 jas_ dunno about stepheight yet

17:30 Krock I've been thinking about sending real floats in our network packets instead of using the ugly u32 conversion method. But is the representation of a float in a stream standardized?
17:31 Krock according to IEEE 754 there are multiple representations possible
18:23 nerzhul merging #6250 in ~5 mins

18:25 lisac joined #minetest-dev
18:43 celeron55 <+nerzhul> we really should switch to 0.5.0-dev instead of released-dev...
18:43 celeron55 i think we can consider this
18:43 paramat joined #minetest-dev
18:44 celeron55 does anyone know why that wouldn't work currently? (technical or community or any reason)
18:45 celeron55 and where is the decision in place to make the next release to be 0.5.0?
18:46 celeron55 ah at least the forum post
18:46 nerzhul it was a consensus between all devs to say we need to do some breakage and master become 0.5.0
18:46 celeron55 yeah, just checking how it's documented
18:46 CalebDavis joined #minetest-dev
18:47 nerzhul i proposed and it was accepted to make a tentative 0.4.17 by cherrypick in stable-0.4
18:47 nerzhul if i remember i had a PR closed at a point permitting to switch to the new model with -dev associated with real devel version
18:48 celeron55 a point?
18:48 nerzhul a moment*
18:48 celeron55 was it before 0.4.16?
18:49 nerzhul yes if i remember
18:49 celeron55 before the tradition hasn't caused that much confusion so there hasn't been reason to change, but now with nothing in the version to give clue about breaking changes it's actually a problem
18:50 nerzhul i think so, but i see more and more reports of users thinking they are using 0.4.16-dev and it's 0.4.16, not 0.5.0 :(
18:51 celeron55 this is probably going to be a mess for some time, maybe it should be neither 0.4.16 nor 0.5.0
18:52 celeron55 not much wiggleroom between 4 and 5 though 8)
18:52 celeron55 it has to be one or the other
18:53 nerzhul in many apps, especially python and java you are generally using A.B.C-SNAPSHOT version which means you are working on A.B.C, it also permits to have multiple branches with various snapshot versions, one for release +1, one for patching current release, etc
18:53 paramat 2 compatibility breakages were recently merged so latest seems more 0.5 than 0.4
18:54 celeron55 well, one option is to call it 0.5 as long as breaking changes are being made, and once it's possible to promise no breaking changes anymore, just jump to 0.6 (or 1.0)
18:55 celeron55 then 0.5 can be defined to be "the messy versions in between"
18:56 nerzhul the version is clear is we switch to a A.B.C-dev instead of (A.B.C - 1)-dev :)
18:56 celeron55 well what i started this discussion with was whether others think that's ok
18:56 celeron55 i don't see a problem
18:59 paramat eww i'm not keen on jumping to 0.6, it makes more sense for the next major version of MT to be 0.5.x, after all we went from 0.3 to 0.4
19:01 paramat linking '-dev' to the next version instead of the last seems trivial, unless i'm missing something
19:03 sofar I could care less about numbers. I'm perfectly fine with some projects that just label their versions '53', '54', etc
19:03 sofar even if they release monthly or more
19:05 Fritigern joined #minetest-dev
19:06 celeron55 i think nerzhul is free to change the version to 0.5.0-dev then

19:16 KaadmY sofar: It's "couldn't care less" :((((
19:17 KaadmY It's an idiom but it's the opposite of the meaning
19:19 sofar I could care less :P
19:21 RobbieF joined #minetest-dev
19:23 KaadmY Good
19:47 celeron55 americans like their idioms with opposite meanings
19:48 ReadySetWait joined #minetest-dev
19:49 celeron55 but i don't think that's one of them
19:50 celeron55 maybe it is, i never know
19:58 lisac hey celeron55, I added Minetest to Gamebanana, do you think that is a good idea?
19:58 lisac also, maybe you or some core devs could apply for moderator position there.

20:07 Fixer more than less
20:09 Fixer retracting, less is at least version 480 now
20:13 paramat game#1877
20:13 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/1877 -- Minimap: Add map mod with craftable map by paramat
20:24 VanessaE "If a player loses the map item then the minimap stays usable for the rest of the game session but of course is disabled on next game session"
20:25 VanessaE you're going to want to fix that somehow,.
20:25 VanessaE Wuzzy will complain :P
20:31 paramat nah, just not worth a regular checking function, it can be considered player memory of the map :]
20:42 paramat but it's possible
20:42 Fixer "If a player loses the map item then the minimap stays usable for the rest of the game sessio" thats no go
20:42 Fixer thats just silly
20:42 Fixer silly over 9000
20:46 sofar it wouldn't be too hard to add the needed callbacks to handle dropping of the map or losing it
20:46 sofar I would even go as far as making the minimap only show when the map item is in the hotbar, making it even more easy to track removal
20:47 VanessaE players will object to that
20:47 VanessaE (given the size of the hotbar)
20:48 sofar right, but it would be close to what MC does
20:48 VanessaE if it were up to me, the map would be in its own slot, can't be dropped unless its moved to the main inventory first
20:48 sofar also possible
20:48 VanessaE that would probably be the easiest way
20:48 VanessaE though unified inventory will need an update
20:48 VanessaE would need*
20:50 paramat i might be able to make the check insist on hotbar, good idea
20:50 VanessaE make sure it works with dreambuilder's hotbar size
20:50 VanessaE (max 23 slots, default 16)
20:51 paramat anyway, this is WIP first draft, we can discuss a regular checking function, i expect it will be insisted on
20:52 paramat it already makes no sense that a map enables underground x-ray vision, but later i intend to split minimap radar mode into a separate HUD flag
20:54 VanessaE isn't the radar mode still broken anyway?
20:55 paramat and of course, this makes no sense that it doesn't record all areas visited, maybe that will become possible later
20:55 paramat erm i don't know of a breakage
20:55 VanessaE I don't remember the details
20:56 VanessaE but a couple of people said that what's shown in the radar mode isn't correct
20:57 Raven262 It does behave odd.
20:57 paramat if so please detail in an issue
20:57 Raven262 Like it is refreshed only after one has passed a specific height.
20:58 Raven262 And sometimes, if you follow that map, you'll get into nothing while you were trying to reach a cave that was displayed :P
20:58 sofar you may have to go up or down, it's confusing
20:59 Raven262 I'm curious, how hight above or below the player does it scan?
20:59 Shara Guessing which way is part of the fun
21:02 paramat ok, i'll add a regular map checking function, it'll bypass the criticism :]
21:02 paramat yeah, obviously what is shown may not be on your level
21:02 paramat that's not a bug
21:05 twoelk indeed the radar only shows the percentage of air in a region
21:18 paramat if the scanned height was less it would show less, so ..
21:24 paramat btw game#1876 is ready
21:24 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/1876 -- Farming: Make cotton look like cotton, add crafted string item by paramat
21:24 twoelk I think the radar map is quit useful as it is. It's perfect for easily aligning tunnels and there are enough ingame tricks to use it's hints without cheating
