00:45 Seirdy joined #minetest-dev
01:44 MTDiscord <e​xe_virus> Does feature freeze mean that mtg PRs won't be merged?
01:55 MTDiscord <L​one_Wolf> MTG isn't accepting features
01:59 Seirdy joined #minetest-dev
03:39 MTDiscord <e​xe_virus> True, mine is maintenance
03:39 MTDiscord <e​xe_virus> Mine are* maintenance. Specifically shrinking media size in half
03:46 MTDiscord <e​xe_virus> So, I don't know the answer to this even though I program a lot: If minetest declares a pointer in the engine code, will that be a 64 bit (8 Byte) pointer or 4 Byte pointer?
04:05 flux__ joined #minetest-dev
04:35 MTDiscord <e​xe_virus> Ah, 64 bit is always 8 byte pointers.
05:00 MTDiscord joined #minetest-dev
05:15 MTDiscord <e​xe_virus> Huh, I've only recently started learning how to test code better, currently I'm using mallocstats() for memory usage, does anyone have good suggestions for profiling which functions are on the critical path of a code?

08:49 nephele sfan5: did you plan to also rework the use_texture_alpha for objects?
10:19 calcul0n_ joined #minetest-dev
10:29 proller joined #minetest-dev
10:35 sfan5 nephele: no
10:37 Icedream joined #minetest-dev

11:13 Beton joined #minetest-dev
11:31 sfan5 question: should enable_damage only control the "default" (like with creative_mode) or prevent damage from being enabled entirely
11:32 sfan5 ?
11:36 sfan5 okay changing it to do the former would be more work so it'll be the latter
11:56 Topic for #minetest-dev is now FEATURE FREEZE IN EFFECT SINCE 2021-01-30. | Minetest core development and maintenance. Chit-chat goes to #minetest. https://irc.minetest.net/minetest-dev/ https://dev.minetest.net/
12:03 Fixer joined #minetest-dev
12:20 Wuzzy joined #minetest-dev
13:11 MTDiscord <e​xe_virus> Makes sense, good call
13:13 sfan5 Krock: do we know if any mods use set_armor_groups to enable damage when it's usually disabled?
13:14 Krock I don't. To be fair, it's a rather new feature (5.1.0 IIRC), hence not used often in general
13:14 Krock let alone this case where damage is disabled by default
13:15 Krock it's rather used on the other case, to protect admins from damage
13:19 sfan5 yeah that'll still work
13:25 numzero joined #minetest-dev
13:43 MTDiscord1 joined #minetest-dev
13:50 Zughy[m]1 chiming in just to say great job with issues and PRs lately. Keep up the good work guys
13:50 sfan5 I wouldn't say "great", it's just better than usual
13:51 Zughy[m]1 issues went from 979 to 937 ?
13:51 Zughy[m]1 in two days
13:53 sfan5 if anyone went through issues sorted by oldest first I'm sure there's many more that are not longer applicable
14:16 sfan5 merging game#2804, game#2800 in 5m
14:16 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/2804 -- Correct door model dimensions by An0n3m0us
14:16 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/2800 -- Correct name of acacia mese postlight by An0n3m0us
14:16 sfan5 oh and game#2799
14:16 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/2799 -- Add missing nodes to list by An0n3m0us
14:30 nephele left #minetest-dev
15:33 Wuzzy oh lol. so I am now part of the minetest organization on GitHub. but what does that mean?
15:39 sfan5 weren't you chosen to help with issue triage?
16:12 rubenwardy yeah, this was weeks ago
16:12 rubenwardy info: https://dev.minetest.net/Git_Guidelines#Issue_and_Pull-Request_Management
16:14 rubenwardy months
16:18 sfan5 #10887
16:18 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/10887 -- Cache client IP in RemoteClient so it can always be retrieved by sfan5
16:18 sfan5 okay that's enough for today
16:19 sfan5 well maybe not I spotted some dead code I could remove earlier
16:39 sfan5 hm I guess I could also import translations in a few hours
16:39 sfan5 since that should usually be done at the start of the feature freeze
16:51 Krock you're on fire. won't stop you from doing the translation updates :)
16:51 rubenwardy Yeah. Also, release candidate
18:28 olliy joined #minetest-dev
19:21 MTDiscord <a​ppguru> ias we are eventually moving away from Irrlicht, we might want to use OpenSceneGraph: http://www.openscenegraph.org
19:24 numzero we aren’t
19:24 numzero we are hopefully moving away from *mainstream* Irrlicht
19:26 MTDiscord <F​lamore> We're just forking irrlicht to fix irrlicht-side problems and probably improve some stuff :^)
19:39 rubenwardy Well, after many hacks the ContentDB dialog in the mainmenu now loads in 1.2 seconds rather than 10
19:43 sfan5 will do translation import now
20:15 sfan5 will push what's in https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commits/test to master in a few minutes unless build fails
20:15 lhofhansl joined #minetest-dev
20:17 numzero joined #minetest-dev
20:23 sfan5 man the GUI fonts really are too big at the default window size
20:26 amk joined #minetest-dev
20:38 sfan5 weblate says the english translation has 495,032,623 comments
20:38 sfan5 I hope that's not right
20:39 sfan5 now it's 480,148,903 ?!
20:40 sfan5 well no idea where it has that number from
20:41 rubenwardy what does comment mean in this situation?
20:42 sfan5 comments on a translation to discuss e.g. context, not the translation itself
20:42 fluxflux_ joined #minetest-dev
20:42 sfan5 but in any case weblate is open for translations again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
20:43 rubenwardy btw, I contacted weblate support to delete the 100s of empty translations last week
20:43 rubenwardy so that should help
20:43 rubenwardy I wonder if the comments thing could be similarly abused
20:44 sfan5 During rebase I dropped all "added language FOO via weblate" + "deleted language FOO via weblate" commits anyway
20:44 sfan5 "$1 and $2 dependencies will be installed." is this even proper english? what does it mean?
20:45 rubenwardy Mobs Animals and 3 dependencies will be installed
20:46 sfan5 ohhhh
20:46 sfan5 I tried to fit numbers or names in both but that didn't work
20:52 sfan5 "Base Game" translates really weirdly
20:54 Krock Grundlagenspiel
20:55 sfan5 please no
20:55 rubenwardy ha, I like how people correct my typos in weblate comments
20:56 rubenwardy well, bad grammar
20:57 rubenwardy "Ruben Wardy has been asked about this on the Unofficial Minetest Discord server. Waiting for a response."   I don't believe he has
20:59 rubenwardy oh this was last year it's possible
21:00 sfan5 Fadenkreuzundurchsichtigkeit :s
21:00 rubenwardy are there any rules on words you can merge?
21:01 sfan5 anything goes pretty much
21:02 kb1000 Well, there are things that just don't make any sense
21:03 Krock sfan5: a job for Wuzzy. it's great.
21:24 Andrey01 joined #minetest-dev
21:25 MTDiscord <F​lamore> baza ludo:
21:27 Andrey01 hello, does minetest engine (on C++ side) have any embedded a function that would return a sign of a number? Maybe in 'util' folder somewhere?
21:27 rubenwardy you can use   (x > 0) ? 1 : -1
21:27 rubenwardy well, not quite right
21:28 Andrey01 but I would like a function
21:28 sfan5 because?
21:28 Andrey01 in any case, afaik the standard library doesnt have that
21:29 rubenwardy it's pretty trivial
21:29 rubenwardy oh wow
21:29 rubenwardy apparently you can write it as     (x > 0) - (x < 0)
21:29 rubenwardy and that returns   -1 0 1
21:30 Andrey01 hmm
21:30 rubenwardy booleans as integers be weird
21:30 rubenwardy Andrey01:  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1903954/is-there-a-standard-sign-function-signum-sgn-in-c-c
21:33 Andrey01 I don`t quite understand that construction that you suggested, rubenwardy, and that was suggested in stackoverfow
21:34 rubenwardy booleans implicitly convert to integers.   False to 0, true to 1
21:34 rubenwardy that's all you need to know
21:34 Andrey01 ah, that`s it...
21:35 Andrey01 thanks, I`ll try
21:35 rubenwardy I tend to avoid implicit conversion from boolean to int or viceversa, and I'd definitely put this code in an inline function as it's fairly obscure
21:35 rubenwardy well, it's a nice way of doing it but not immediately obvious when reading the code
21:37 Andrey01 although, (x > 0) ? 1 : ((x < 0) ? -1 : 0) is not bad way, too, more obvious, however longer
