00:05 hecks no that's normals you're thinking of
00:06 hecks a tangent is an extra vector that tells you which way in 3D space does the texcoord X axis run
00:06 hecks together with the normal it can be used to reconstruct a tangent space for normal mapping and other effects that need it
00:07 hecks if we do not use normal maps, we can get away with just position, texcoord, normal, color
00:07 hecks and most of these probably need not be high precision
00:07 hecks possibly none

01:13 rubenwardy I was wondering what the sentiment of adding something like Sentry to the Play Store version of the Android app would be
01:14 rubenwardy Sentry posts crash reports with stack traces and recent actions, there's no personal information. Google Play has something similar but it's not very capable
01:14 v-rob joined #minetest-dev
01:14 rubenwardy debugging Android is such a pain
01:15 MTDiscord <Jordach> the words you can't bring yourself to say are: unsupported platform
01:16 rubenwardy I'll see if there's any way to make Google Play error reporting more useful - it gives you stacktraces at least, but they don't work on C++ currently due to missing debug symbols
01:29 rubenwardy Crashes page on Play: https://rwdy.uk/7IyFA.png
01:32 rubenwardy just a few crashes

16:30 rubenwardy RE: new mainmenu
16:31 rubenwardy PR to add policy regarding features games (and other packages):    cdb#323
16:31 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/contentdb/issues/323 -- Add policy on Featured Packages by rubenwardy
16:35 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Where there are fields for things in CDB (such as source control) I'd make it explicit that we prefer the proper field actually be filled in, rather than it just being mentioned somewhere.
16:36 MTDiscord <Warr1024> re: screenshot.png, isn't 320x240 also a minimum reasonable resolution for that?
16:37 rubenwardy that standard applies to all users though
16:37 rubenwardy *packages
16:37 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Eh, I thought it'd be just one or two things, but I might as well just add a comment to the PR directly.  I also have an issue with the 1080p requirement for screencaps; making it a hard limit like that would render all my packages completely ineligible.
16:41 sfan5 haven't read the issue, here's a simple test: can MTG be featured under these rules?
16:45 rubenwardy No lol
16:45 rubenwardy Yeah, maybe the requirement should be 720p
16:45 rubenwardy Which would allow 1366x768 screens
16:46 rubenwardy MTG would meet the quality requirements, but not the maintenance or fun requirements
16:46 rubenwardy Although, maybe you'd consider the modding ecosystem as part of the fun
16:46 rubenwardy You'd probably need to, given how so many mods are for MTG
16:47 Krock joined #minetest-dev
16:47 sfan5 maintenance is a real issue
16:47 rubenwardy Well actually, it would meet the maintenance requirements. It's well maintained in terms of bug fixes and such
16:47 sfan5 since I'm pretty sure we want to feature it since that's what like half of players are still playing
16:47 sfan5 (and obviously it should conform to the general rules and not have a special exception)
16:58 Extex joined #minetest-dev
17:07 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I think MTG would not meet the usability requirements because in order to be playable users need to mod it, and first-time users won't know how to do that.  I think the proper way to get MTG to be featured is to have somebody actually maintain an already-somewhat-modded version of MTG and feature that instead as a reasonable new-player experience.
17:08 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I was actually hoping dreambuilder might fill this role, but dreambuilder might be a little TOO rich of an experience for what we want to feature, I'm not sure.  Granted, it's also I think somewhat more likely that the most naive new users are likely to have more powerful machines than old salt like us.
17:09 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I don't think we should interpret "featured" as "this is what people are playing" so much as "this is what people (especially new users) should try".
17:09 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I think Featured is also especially focused on SP, since for MP you'd feature servers instead of packages (and that'd be a feature for the server list, not CDB)
17:42 entuland joined #minetest-dev
17:49 rubenwardy Haha, someone recommended the featured slots be paid
17:49 rubenwardy Perhaps I should call it "Recommended" rather than "featured"
17:49 rubenwardy Although, recommended implies more of an algorithm
17:51 Krock so.. someone recommended the recommended slots to be paid
17:58 MTDiscord <Warr1024> "recommended implies an algorithm" ... oh wow, how did we arrive at this point? O_O
17:59 MTDiscord <Warr1024> My original idea for the name had "Editors'" in it, as in "Editors' Choice" or "Editors' Recommendations" to make the origin clear, though there is a counterargument to be made against the verbosity.
18:28 celeron55_ well having a paid slot as one of the featured slots or so could make sense, given there's some obvious target for the funds
18:29 celeron55_ like the hosting costs of contentdb itself
18:30 sfan5 I assume a less slow forum is not fixable with money ;)
18:30 specing Minetest needs microtransations to get popular
18:30 specing clearly
18:30 celeron55_ sfan5: well... ...it might be
18:31 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Find out if anyone would even be willing to pay before we start thinking about how this would work ... and whether any of the people who would be willing to pay are ones we would actually be willing to accept as representing the project in any way.

19:01 rubenwardy The hosting costs of ContentDB are luckily covered by ContentDB
19:01 rubenwardy Oops

19:17 hecks joined #minetest-dev
20:04 MTDiscord <Jordach> you do realise i could fill that slot for the next decade and have no negatives right
20:05 MTDiscord <Jordach> i mean it's not like i already pay the bills for it
