11:10 sfan5 re Special sound files: aren't there also mainmenu sounds?
11:11 Krock there are?
11:12 Krock can't find more special names by searching for "playSound("
11:13 Krock #1651
11:13 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/1651 -- Menu music (WIP) by RealBadAngel
11:13 sfan5 hmm you might be right
11:14 Krock nice, it's still there in builtin
11:14 ensonic joined #minetest-dev
11:14 Krock main_menu.ogg is another one. thanks
11:16 Krock updated
11:17 sfan5 not capable to save raw binary -> incaptable of saving raw binary
11:17 sfan5 "due to errorous UTF-8 corrections from JsonCPP" ???
11:17 Krock yes
11:18 Krock http://irc.minetest.net/minetest-hub/2019-09-07#i_5586897 for reference
11:18 sfan5 JSON does not support saving arbitrary binary data, jsoncpp is in the right here by treating strings as utf-8
11:18 Krock yeah..
11:18 Krock how else should I write it there? I mean the other backends can do that
11:18 Krock and the mod storage backend is not defined
11:19 sfan5 due to restrictions of JSON used internally
11:20 Krock "used internally" sounds weird
11:21 Krock dropping that part, former sounds clear enough
11:21 sfan5 whose stupid idea was it to use json anyway?
11:21 pmp-p +1
11:21 sfan5 you could just have dumped the binary serialized meta directly into the file
11:22 Krock *shrug*
11:22 Krock the person responsible isn't online
11:22 sfan5 anyway
11:23 Krock base64 encoding actually turns out to be smaller than escaping
11:23 sfan5 for the special groups it would be nice to note when a group is not handeled by the engine
11:23 sfan5 e.g. not_in_creative_inventory isn't
11:24 sfan5 the description of level is also very vague, so I'm guessing it's also not implemented in the engine
11:24 Krock level is implemented in the engine
11:24 Krock it's used to calculate the tool wear
11:24 Krock but I did not plan to update that description
11:25 sfan5 also "Node and item groups:" technically should read "Node, item and tool groups:" since tool is its own category later on
11:25 sfan5 oh I see, updating the description would be nice then
11:33 Krock updated
11:37 Krock -:
12:56 rdococ tools are just a type of item, aren't they?
12:57 sfan5 yes
12:58 Krock nodes too, technically
12:59 Krock at least they're added to registered_items

14:49 Krock #8856 is btw also ready for a review. The remaining issues have been solved, and TravisCI fails thanks to setup issues

15:33 paramat joined #minetest-dev
15:39 paramat i'm proposing that #8897 is obvious and trivial, but will merge in a few hours to give people time to consider if they want
15:39 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8897 -- Dungeons: Remove non-functional 'projecting dungeons' setting by paramat
16:01 paramat is what monte48 suggests here https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/pull/2466#issuecomment-529196737 a good idea?
16:01 paramat auto-set translations to item descriptions
16:03 sfan5 no
16:03 sfan5 mods know best how to translate stuff themselves
16:05 paramat ok, that makes sense
16:06 paramat game#2466 is large so i think we should attend to it to avoid creating conflicts
16:06 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/2466 -- Add support for MT 5 game translation (rebasing #2368) by yquemener
16:11 rubenwardy ?   #8916
16:11 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8916 -- Add more visual feedback for button states by Df458
16:12 Krock paramat: did not test the dungeons PR but the code looks good
16:15 Krock paramat: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/8914#discussion_r322017633
16:16 Krock The sentence above the list was thought to be some kind of sentence beginning
16:17 Krock "The player" alone is not clear enough that it's played only for LocalPlayer
16:21 paramat ok i see. your suggestion is fine for me
16:22 paramat hm well 'the own player', i wonder if there's a clearer way to say that
16:22 paramat 'the client player'?
16:22 paramat 'client's player'?
16:23 paramat 'the own player' is awkward english
16:23 Krock client is ambiguous
16:23 Krock this.m_player
16:23 paramat lol
16:24 Krock I know it might be weird but it's the shortest way I could ensure that LocalPlayer is meant
16:24 paramat 'local player'?
16:25 Krock local might also imply singleplayer
16:25 paramat and thanks, will merge #8879 in 5 mins
16:25 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8879 -- [Android] Keyboard control broken on 5.x build
16:25 Krock but yeah.. would be an option
16:25 Krock wrong number
16:26 Krock #8897
16:26 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8897 -- Dungeons: Remove non-functional 'projecting dungeons' setting by paramat
16:26 paramat ugh thanks
16:26 Krock changing to "the local player". will merge the PR in 15 minutes
16:27 paramat but player damage sounds apply to a singleplayer? sorry, confused
16:27 paramat ok +1
16:28 Krock rubenwardy: tbh that PR came quite unexpected. I thought it were yet another feature request lying around and waiting for someone to pick it up
16:28 rubenwardy they have been working on it on discord
16:28 Krock ah. okay.
16:41 Krock mergign
16:42 Krock paramat: may I?
16:44 Krock (assuming away)
16:48 paramat yes fine
16:48 paramat 'ok +1' above
16:49 paramat merging #8897
16:49 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8897 -- Dungeons: Remove non-functional 'projecting dungeons' setting by paramat
16:59 Cornelia joined #minetest-dev
17:00 rubenwardy I propose a feature freeze on the 29th
17:04 paramat ok fo rme
17:04 paramat *for
17:04 paramat i'll need help with game#2466 as i'm not good with translations
17:04 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/2466 -- Add support for MT 5 game translation (rebasing #2368) by yquemener
17:05 Krock that's long time enough. set the date as fixed
17:27 p_gimeno is player_damage played when the client-side player gets damage? 'local' is not very clear to me
17:29 Krock scroll up
17:29 p_gimeno yeah, I've read the discussion but I'm unclear on what local means
17:31 Krock thanks for the feedback. I also thought of other words but well "the own player" isn't nice either
17:32 p_gimeno I still don't know when it's played, though
17:33 Krock "when"? When you die.
17:33 Krock or when you're damaged
17:33 jas_ falling
17:33 jas_ the sound is played when the player takes damage from falling
17:33 jas_ Played when the player takes damage from falling.
17:35 p_gimeno so, does the server send a sound playing message with that sound when it detects damage?
17:37 p_gimeno or is it played by the client when the server sends a damage message?
17:40 p_gimeno I'm trying to make sense of what 'local' refers to and why the distinction is important. I think it may be important for player_falling_damage, because I think that's played when the client-side player takes damage from falling locally, regardless of what the server knows.
17:40 Cornelia joined #minetest-dev
17:40 p_gimeno I may be wrong on that, though.

17:57 Cornelia joined #minetest-dev
18:17 proller joined #minetest-dev
18:21 Krock p_gimeno: it's when the screen flashes red
18:21 Krock that is either by a server packet or locally re-handled damage
18:23 Krock the distinction is important because the sound is not played by the server
18:23 Krock it won't be placed if you hit other players
18:23 Krock *played

19:24 Wuzzy Krock: “ * `main_menu`: Looped sound in the main menu (gain = 1.0)”
19:24 Wuzzy how would this one work?
19:24 Wuzzy i mean, if i put it in a game or mod, i have to launch the game or mod, but then I am no longer in the main menu
19:24 Wuzzy it doesn't make sense
19:25 Wuzzy Or am I supposed to but this file in some magic location?
19:25 Krock MTDIR/sounds/main_menu.ogg.?
19:26 Krock I'm not the one who implemented it, and the only way to get "media packs" in the main menu aside texture packs is inside "sounds"
19:26 Cornelia joined #minetest-dev
19:27 Krock see RBA's PR if you want per-game sounds. obviously out of scope for this doc PR
19:28 Wuzzy ok, but then why the hell is main_menu.ogg mentioned in lua_api.txt? :D
19:29 Wuzzy So it seems main_menu.ogg is purely an user feature, not a game/mod feature
19:30 sfan5 it's documented because it exists
19:31 Wuzzy you are missing the point
19:31 Wuzzy main_menu.ogg has nothing to do with mods or games
19:31 Wuzzy I just tested it
19:31 Wuzzy put main_menu.ogg in ~/.minetest/sounds and it will play in the main menu
19:32 sfan5 would you like for the documentation to be removed?
19:32 Wuzzy my point is, while i agree this should obviously be documented, it doesn't make sense to document it as a "Lua API" feature. it has nothing to do with lua
19:32 sfan5 i get that you are technically right, but it does not matter
19:32 Wuzzy its very confusing
19:32 Wuzzy the document also doesn't specify that the file goes into ~/.minetest/sounds
19:33 Wuzzy unlike for player_damage, which goes into ~/.minetest/mods/<modname>/sounds
19:33 Wuzzy (or the corresponding game dir, ofc)
19:35 paramat joined #minetest-dev
19:37 Cornelia joined #minetest-dev
19:45 Krock please open a PR to correct it
19:46 Krock so that it's exactly how you'd like to have it
19:52 Cornelia joined #minetest-dev
20:11 paramat my intended engine work for 5.1.0 is (at minimum): 1. create more dungeon structure variation using the new capabilities of dungeon parameters, including rare mega-dungeons. 2. Add per-mapgen mapgen parameters for the 'randomwalk' caves: min/max number per chunk, and proportion that are flooded
20:16 rubenwardy joined #minetest-dev
20:26 Cornelia joined #minetest-dev
20:36 Cornelia joined #minetest-dev
20:45 Wuzzy paramat: mega-dungeons?
20:45 Wuzzy like dungeons, but huuuuuge?
20:45 Wuzzy how huge?
20:46 Cornelia joined #minetest-dev
20:46 rubenwardy we found some huge ones in my livestream yesterday
20:46 Wuzzy pics or it didnt happen :P
20:47 rubenwardy also a cavern which was 300+
20:59 Cornelia joined #minetest-dev
21:08 paramat sofar please see https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/pull/2466#issuecomment-529239391 onwards
21:10 paramat my idea is to rarely generate a dungeon with far more rooms than normal, and larger rooms/corridors, like almost filling a mapchunk
21:17 paramat but that may be best as a separate PR, basic dungeon structure has priority for development
21:29 ensonic joined #minetest-dev
21:49 sfan5 Wuzzy: btw next time you review a PR please use github's review function, it makes it much easier to see which code it applies too
21:50 Wuzzy I can't. It requires JavaScript.
21:51 sfan5 eh okay

23:11 sfan5 would be very much nice to have
23:13 paramat oh ok, thanks for the interest, will do so
23:14 paramat there didn't seem to be much support until now
