13:53 ElementW       Yo, is there a way to get the player leave/disconnect reason on the Lua side?
13:54 sfan5          don't think so
14:11 FourFire       Greetings, I'm starting to script a mod in LUA, following https://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/en
14:12 FourFire       is this the right channel for questions?
14:14 TigerInCollege FourFire, Hi, welcome to modding! It would be more interesting the channel #Minetest-Hub
14:15 TigerInCollege lots of moders there.
14:15 TigerInCollege Here is more for development regarding Minetest itself.
14:16 FourFire       Thanks
20:20 paramat        game#1950 is ready, simple PR, can anyone review? i can merge it with game#1835 later
20:20 ShadowBot      https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/1950 -- Flowers: Add black tulip, green chrysanthemum by paramat
20:20 ShadowBot      https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/1835 -- Expose open_chests and chest_lid_obstructed by ForbiddenJ
20:26 Krock          the flower textures don't seem to fit well
20:26 Krock          the other textures have slightly different gradients from the bottom to the top
20:28 paramat        you mean the black tulip stem being 1 colour?
20:29 paramat        i can't see why it shouldn't, that's how stems look
20:30 paramat        the orange tulip stem is ugly due to colour gradient on the stem
20:31 Krock          more noise wouldn't hurt for both stem types. perhaps I'm just too pedantic about that
20:32 paramat        noise on the stem is unnecessary because they don't have noise IRL. although i could add a very very subtle colour gradient
20:32 paramat        on the tulip
20:35 paramat        hm and also the chrys
20:35 paramat        ok
20:36 paramat        gradient but no ugly noise
20:36 paramat        and i'll put some variation on the chrys leaves
20:37 paramat        thanks
20:37 Krock          that aside, you've got my concept approval
20:39 paramat        ok
20:40 paramat        #6639 is ready

20:48 ShadowBot      paramat: O.K.
20:50 paramat        for #6666 i'll try to return to 2 lines by removing unnecessary clutter
20:50 ShadowBot      https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/6666 -- Debug/F5 Information Formatting Issues
20:50 paramat        however, can either of drawtime or dtime jitter be removed since those are shown in the profiler?
20:51 paramat        hm actuallu dtime jitter is in %, that's not shown that way elsewhere
20:51 paramat        *actually
20:54 paramat        maybe best at first i don't remove anything
22:02 rubenwardy     #6670
22:02 ShadowBot      https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/6670 -- CSM: Revert "[CSM] Add send_chat_message and run_server_chatcommand" by rubenwardy
22:03 sfan5          the latter could be useful though
22:04 rubenwardy     mod channels
22:04 sfan5          no
22:05 sfan5          for client side mods that make use of server provided command to e.g. present them in a more user friendly way
22:05 rubenwardy     why not have that as a server mod?
22:06 rubenwardy     client-side modding should be like Javascript in that it should decrease the effects of latency and add pretty effects
22:06 sfan5          this is a fairly specific example and this would better be implemented with mod-sending + channels, but it is a valid usecase
22:06 sfan5          yes exactly to get those benefits
22:11 lisac          rubenwardy, I'd like to keep sending chat messages from CSM at least until everyone switches to mod channels
22:11 rubenwardy     why?
22:11 lisac          IIRC some people are using it as a hack for mod channels right now
22:12 rubenwardy     CSM has a disclaimer about backwards compatibility
22:12 rubenwardy     it's currently unsupported and can be broken at will
22:12 lisac          https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=17808
22:12 paramat        why is running a server chatcommand from a client even acceptable? i must misunderstand something
22:13 lisac          paramat, you can send a message like '/spawn'
22:13 Shara          paramat: asking myself the same thing
22:13 lisac          and it'll teleport the player to spawn
22:13 paramat        and is that controlled by flavours?
22:13 lisac          no idea.
22:13 paramat        server chatcommands are for the server only surely?
22:13 lisac          client still invokes them
22:13 sfan5          wat
22:14 lisac          as in, there is no difference between you typing /spawn and your CSM sending /spawn
22:14 paramat        oh
22:14 lisac          not sure what you mean by 'only for server'
22:14 paramat        so it restricts to commands already usable by players
22:15 lisac          yes.
22:15 paramat        ok
22:15 lisac          and I don't see why it should be removed.
22:15 lisac          Server should already protect itself from spam
22:15 lisac          nothing prevents player from making a xdotool script to spam even without CSM
22:16 paramat        the server would validate chatcommands coming from clients anyway
22:16 lisac          yeah.
22:16 paramat        being able to spam another way is no reason to add another easier way
22:16 lisac          not sure if it's any easier
22:16 paramat        it's a false argument used by those resisting CSM restrictions
22:17 lisac          it's probably simpler to press up-arrow enter a few times
22:17 rubenwardy     there's no reason for it to exist as a function, even if the server should have anti-spam protection too
22:17 lisac          then to write a CSM for it
22:17 lisac          rubenwardy, I can think of a few use cases
22:17 rubenwardy     not valid ones
22:17 lisac          for example, a 'now playing' script
22:17 lisac          though you might call it spam
22:18 lisac          orrr a PM interface
22:18 lisac          which gives a GUI to send PMs from.
22:18 lisac          or really any other GUI mod.
22:19 lisac          a kick/ban serverlist https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=17800
22:20 lisac          some of these are pretty legal.
22:38 paramat        "I'd like to keep sending chat messages from CSM at least until everyone switches to mod channels ...  IIRC some people are using it as a hack for mod channels right now" that's no good argument
22:40 paramat        valid uses may exist, but we have to balance against the harm
22:41 sfan5          are easy to use GUIs for common tasks not "good enough" to outweigh chat spamming which totally can't be combated in any other ways?
22:44 sofar          don't ban the technology
22:44 sofar          ban the abuse
22:44 nerzhul        lisac, just to remember, in 0.4.16 you have antispam protection possibilities, either using Server Side mod, either tuning the max chat message rate limit
22:44 sofar          let's ban roads, since it's how robbers get to the bank
22:54 paramat        well, i'm not sure about removing run_server_chatcommand
23:01 Fixer          ban people
23:04 paramat        ban carrying guns
23:05 rom1504        ban bans
