00:31 DS-minetest is it possible to lua-unittest with json?
00:31 DS-minetest (I mean using core.parse_json in a unittest)
00:32 DS-minetest (it's implemented in c++)
00:45 rubenwardy !tell DS-minetest No, you cannot use any engine functions. However, you can import any Lua libraries and use them to mock engine functions
00:45 ShadowBot rubenwardy: O.K.

14:27 Wuzzy My games now get warnings because my ABM takes 3ms. Is this intentional? I remember in previous versions, the warning is triggered at 200ms
14:30 sfan5 the budget isn't a constant https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/src/serverenvironment.cpp#L1366
14:30 sfan5 3ms is way too low, though
14:33 Wuzzy2 joined #minetest-dev
14:37 behalebabo Wuzzy2: I got that warning, somehow my server step setting had been set really low
14:38 Wuzzy joined #minetest-dev
14:41 Wuzzy behalebabo: what is this setting called?
14:41 Wuzzy dedicated_server_step?
14:41 Wuzzy for me its 1e-05... O_O
14:41 behalebabo I think that was the one, it had gotten set down at the bottom of my minetest.conf
14:41 behalebabo yeah
14:41 behalebabo same
14:42 Wuzzy i never touched this setting. must be a new default
14:42 behalebabo I don't know why
14:43 Wuzzy hmm but it appears in my minetest.conf somehow. how did THAT happen? i wonder if it was caused by minetest
14:43 Wuzzy ok so the default is 0.09. makes more sense
14:43 sfan5 more likely explanation: some mod author thought it was a good idea to set that from his mods
14:43 Wuzzy hmmmmm
14:43 Wuzzy oh i have an idea
14:44 Wuzzy ok so it's not Crafter
14:44 behalebabo it's crafter
14:44 behalebabo https://github.com/oilboi/Crafter/blob/03e4c50bfc27fc439998eefda09e1747d2a1beac/mods/main/settings.lua#L5
14:44 Wuzzy argh. i made a typo in grep ?
14:45 Wuzzy yes, crafter was my first suspect, too ?
14:45 behalebabo yeah, abm_interval was the other setting
14:46 Wuzzy oh my, this game quite violently screws up my settings! grrr
14:46 Wuzzy but ok, its in alpha, i have no right to complain ?
14:46 Wuzzy Recommended way for a game to set default settings is via minetest.conf in game folder, right? and not with minetest.settings:set(). Right?
14:47 sfan5 definitely
14:47 Wuzzy because Crafter did the latter ?
14:49 Wuzzy I'm pretty sure a dedicated_server_step of 0.00001 is absurd ?
14:49 Wuzzy what is a reasonable low value for dedicated_server_step?
14:51 sfan5 if you absolutely want to try to improve responsiveness (which is what I assume to be the intention), go with 0.008 which equals 125Hz
14:52 sfan5 I doubt anything below that noticably helps (and it might cause the engine to do weird things as you can see)
14:53 celeron55 server step of 10 microseconds? lol
14:54 Wuzzy yeah, some alpha stage game actually set that in lua
14:54 celeron55 there's a reason for most default values, you don't just go about and change them 10000x
14:54 Wuzzy yep
14:55 celeron55 values in the range of about 0.01 to 0.2 might make sense
15:01 Wuzzy ah. the weird abm warning i got was actually caused by another setting that was touched by the alpha game (Crafter): abm_interval

15:53 Wuzzy where is the default sun/moon texture stored?
16:10 calcul0n_ joined #minetest-dev
16:21 Dargod joined #minetest-dev
16:22 Wuzzy Is it normal when I get a floating point exception when using the [sheet texture modifier?
16:24 Krock exceptions from modifiers are not wanted
16:25 Krock there's no default sun/moon texture
16:25 Krock it's either one or two rectangles
16:26 calcul0n joined #minetest-dev
16:29 Wuzzy oh. apparently i used sheet incorrectly
16:29 Wuzzy "tex.png^[sheet:4,2:0,0" instead of "tex.png^[sheet:4x2:0,0"
16:29 Wuzzy the first one causes a floating point exception (and is also a syntax error)
16:55 sfan5 god I hate working with the networking code
17:01 sfan5 none of this shit makes any sense
17:04 sfan5 here's a great excerpt:
17:04 sfan5 bool invalid_address = true;
17:04 sfan5 if (invalid_address) {
17:05 rubenwardy looool
17:05 rubenwardy I've avoided opening any networking files except protocol.h
17:05 rubenwardy and  that one time I thought about adding a Host field to the hello packet
17:06 Fixer_ joined #minetest-dev
17:06 rubenwardy which I'd still like to do, maybe - it allows virtual hosting of servers by having the first packet contain the address given in the connection form
17:06 sfan5 most files are okay just don't open connection{threads,}.{cpp,h}
17:06 rubenwardy I see
17:07 rubenwardy when, I was writing my own netcode, I finished fragmentation and then started reliability channels and thought: "why am I doing this, I want to make a game".  And so switched to enet...
17:18 Krock sfan5: a lot optimization potential

18:39 DS-minetest what is the intended way to run luachecker for builtin? just doing `luachecker builtin` does not ignore the test files
18:40 sfan5 did you check how travis runs it?
18:40 DS-minetest no, will do
18:40 rubenwardy the test files are luachecked
18:40 rubenwardy and should be
18:41 rubenwardy if you're having problems due to mocking, you can handle the test files differently like     files["**/tests/*"] = {  globals = { "thing" } }
18:43 DS-minetest hm, but I also get warnings if I run luachecker in master
18:46 rubenwardy are you running from the root folder
18:46 rubenwardy it's    luacheck builtin      from the root folder
18:48 DS-minetest I'm calling from the minetest folder
18:52 DS-minetest luacheck builtin --exclude-files **/tests/* works fine
18:55 rubenwardy you probably shouldn't do that
18:55 rubenwardy what are the errors?
18:55 rubenwardy I used luacheck on my projects with tests with no issues
18:56 DS-minetest it's warnings, eg.: builtin/common/tests/vector_spec.lua:178:3: accessing undefined field is_true of global assert
18:57 rubenwardy weird
18:58 DS-minetest luacheck installed with apt (lua-check), version: Luacheck: 0.21.1

19:39 sfan5 rubenwardy: does this look okay? http://sprunge.us/yvgubg?diff
19:40 rubenwardy looks good, although I'm not sure about the VALGRIND travis job
19:40 rubenwardy I guess that does the unit coverage?
19:40 rubenwardy well, unit testings
19:41 sfan5 the freetype=0 and valgrind=1 ones still run w/o
19:41 sfan5 and the builds pass https://travis-ci.org/github/minetest/minetest/builds/672661514
19:43 rubenwardy lgtm
19:43 sfan5 thanks, pushing it to master
19:46 sfan5 what a productive day

20:32 sfan5 do they mean the gui by "looks horrible"?
20:32 rubenwardy main menu?
20:32 sfan5 I thin in general, the irrlicht gui looks like it was designed in 2010
20:33 sfan5 think*
20:34 rubenwardy someone needs to come up with a different design
20:35 rubenwardy I can get my head around UX, and I find that interesting, but I'm not a graphics designer
20:36 pmp-p ask the guys complaining to give money to hire ux people :D
20:37 sfan5 applying a pixel-art looking gui skin would fix 99% of complaints
20:37 sfan5 like the progress bar looks you know
20:39 kilbith that I made
20:39 pmp-p yeah someone did that on ultra old ugly looking panda3d gui ( as old as irrlicht default ) and he got that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3r4JrTHZAA
20:40 kilbith the craftguide GUI looks like it was designed in 2020 with the 2005 tools
20:51 rubenwardy sfan5: by looks horrible, they're referring to the pixellated text
20:53 sfan5 oh
20:53 sfan5 apple displays are high dpi ("retina") and users are used to very smooth fonts
20:54 sfan5 it appears neither us nor irrlicht implement any support for dpi scaling on mac
20:54 sfan5 though wouldn't pixely fonts be considered fitting for minetest?
20:54 rubenwardy it's nicely pixelly thought
20:54 rubenwardy it still does anti-aliasing
20:54 rubenwardy whereas, with a pixel art font you'd turn off anti-aliasing
20:54 kilbith I'm not sure fonts are scaled like 2D graphics
20:55 kilbith MacOS uses freetype right?
20:55 sfan5 macos has CoreText
20:55 sfan5 but minetest only uses freetype
20:57 pmp-p iirc freetype subpixel rendering is not available platform without ClearType license
20:58 sfan5 didn't those patents expire a few years ago? also I don't think lack of cleartype means you get no subpixel rendering *at all*
20:58 kilbith yes, since freetype 2.7 or 2.8
21:01 pmp-p from the doc i'd say it depends on distro build options
21:01 pmp-p was reading there https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-lcd_rendering.html
