16:47 MTDiscord <Jordach> sfan5 how legal is it for me to develop and implement my own voronoi cell class in MT for my own mapgen
16:55 erle legal?
16:55 sfan5 very legal?
16:56 sfan5 cool idea btw
16:59 MTDiscord <Jordach> I mean it already works but doesn’t have dual mode triangulation, edge detection etc
17:00 MTDiscord <Jordach> I can roughly iterate against 32k cells before mapgen starts tanking performance
17:00 MTDiscord <Jordach> I developed a river algo that uses a vertice system that shrink wraps onto terrain
17:01 MTDiscord <Jordach> I’ve had good results with perlin rivers but having them go uphill isn’t nice and even the most obscure fixes doesn’t work either
17:03 MTDiscord <Jordach> Here’s a few experiments

17:03 MTDiscord <Jordach> I also fixed the 300m ocean issue but generating pseudo continents
17:05 MTDiscord <Jordach> On average you will see mountain ranges in the 2km region
17:10 MTDiscord <Jordach> Still got to implement cliff regions where needed

21:57 MTDiscord <exe_virus> Interesting, looks great for a flight sim
22:30 MTDiscord <Jordach> the world is using a unique heightmap implementation that doesn't use 3d noise
22:30 erle jordach, what's your river model?
22:30 erle if it shrinkwraps, wouldn't that mean the rivers could flow upwards?
22:31 MTDiscord <Jordach> originally that's the case with perlin and is unfortunately unsolvable
22:32 MTDiscord <Jordach> however i'm using voronoi point generation (and not relaxing the points) to list vertices, then use noise + height controls to modify the rivers width and depth
22:32 erle do you have inland lakes?
22:32 MTDiscord <Jordach> that can be arranged with the river vertice trees
22:32 MTDiscord <Jordach> i just mark certain ones after the fact
22:33 erle how tile-able is your implementation anyway? can you start generation at any point?
22:33 panwolfram joined #minetest-dev
22:33 MTDiscord <Jordach> i can indeed start where-ever i need to
22:33 erle or does it need a defined start or some outer shell?
22:33 erle nice
22:33 MTDiscord <Jordach> i actually solved that voronoi problem down to an x, y input only
22:33 erle release when?
22:33 MTDiscord <Jordach> soon™️
22:38 MTDiscord <exe_virus> Makes me want to put time into a lua only mapgen
22:39 erle exe_virus you may want to team up with cora, she is working on some multi_map shenanigans
22:39 erle (stash a shit ton of lua mapgen layers in the map)
22:40 MTDiscord <exe_virus> Well, I'm thinking a multi threaded lua backend mapgen that uses multiple lua states
22:40 erle has anyone of you a solution to mapgen griefing?
22:41 erle my main problem is that the lua stuff gets called again on a) incompletely generated mapblocks b) map downloads c) whatever
22:41 erle so say i have a hole in a bedrock layer made by a lua mapgen
22:42 erle and then i make a map download and load it again, it will be papered over
22:42 erle because the lua mapgen is run again!
22:42 erle or at least part of it
22:45 MTDiscord <Jordach> fun fact mapgen griefing seems to not occur on fast CPUs
22:45 MTDiscord <Jordach> i wonder if it has anything to do with MUTEX lockking
22:47 erle it depends on which kind of mapgen griefing actually
22:47 MTDiscord <Jordach> Lua
22:47 MTDiscord <Jordach> the original algo for the C++ one was written entirely in Lua
22:47 erle the one that i can reliably reproduce on my thinkpad t60 under high load is the stone clouds
22:48 MTDiscord <Jordach> IS THAT WHAT FUCKING DOES IT
22:48 erle ?
22:48 MTDiscord <Jordach> is this by chance on carpathian
22:48 erle i have witnessed it on v7
22:49 MTDiscord <Jordach> because i modified the carpathian CavesNoiseIntersection() function and noticed it started generating it
22:49 erle the easiest way to see it is to go to a huge empty space generated by lua mapgen
22:49 erle for example, mcl2 end
22:49 erle and have computer be under high load
22:49 erle for some reason, as long as the load is high you get the stone clouds
22:50 erle it happens everywhere, but it's ofc harder to catch in the overworld, because it seems to be limited to the contour of the v7 mapgen
22:50 erle and they are generated before cavegen griefs the map it seems
22:50 erle because sometimes they have holes filled with air
22:51 MTDiscord <Jordach> I've noticed the same issue with Carpathian's cave gen
22:51 erle so how did you modify the caves noise intersection thing to make them appear?
22:52 MTDiscord <Jordach> basically i've heavily modified their noise and algorithm to constrict caves at higher heights and widen them at lower heights
22:52 MTDiscord <Jordach> matching similar behaviour in real terrain
22:52 erle and then you got stone clouds? or you got mapgen griefing by cavegen, where it makes holes in things you have placed?
22:53 MTDiscord <Jordach> it's something to do with it's "in cave detection"
22:53 MTDiscord <Jordach> it detects the column as open then puts stone down
22:54 erle i think the simplest way to get stone clouds would be to make a mapgen that fills the entire map with some airlike material, then search where stone and air are generated
22:54 erle i think kay27 once made a thing where he had a 3d grid of nodes being generated with a lua mapgen
22:54 erle and some of the grid intersection nodes were missing
22:55 erle it was good evidence of mapgen griefing
22:55 erle i hope it can be solved, because while i have a solution to the stone clouds, it's super stupid
22:55 MTDiscord <Jordach> i believe the stone cloud problem can be solved far easier
22:55 erle basically i chose some common material and replace the stone layers with them on_generated
22:55 erle tell
22:56 erle like in nether it becomes netherrack
22:56 MTDiscord <Jordach> if the world is basically a heightmap
22:56 erle stone clouds are surrounded by air? they get turned into air
22:56 erle well, tell
22:56 MTDiscord <Jordach> or a cave map, you could theoretically re-iterate the area at a cost (or batch process it by divide and conquer skipping air)
22:56 MTDiscord <Jordach> and just double check the stone is gone
22:57 erle well i am basically making sure it is, but
22:57 erle the problem remains that this process will run *again* some time later maybe
22:57 erle replacing all the user-placed stone in the area with air or netherrack or whatever
22:57 MTDiscord <Jordach> well this can be done as part of C++ mapgen
22:57 erle so far i haven't found a good enough solution
22:57 erle yeah, what i am saying is c++ mapgen is faulty and racy
22:58 MTDiscord <Jordach> i believe i "have" a solution that might help it
22:58 erle kay has been saying that for a while and several people advised him to please not reimplement the whole logic in lua
22:58 erle but he claimed to have bad experiences with minetest coredevs so he is not fixing c++ mapgen any time soon
22:59 MTDiscord <Jordach> basically minetest caves already know of the maximum height they can work to in engine
22:59 erle you can look in mcl5 to what lengths he goes to try to limit mapgen griefing, it's not pretty and it works somehow
22:59 erle but it's very fragile
22:59 erle uh what?
22:59 erle cavegen griefing basically happens underground
22:59 MTDiscord <Jordach> basically the generateTerrain() function present in all mapgens returns a height value
22:59 erle mcl* end and nether are underground
23:00 MTDiscord <Jordach> anything higher than it is generally considered ungenerated
23:00 MTDiscord <Jordach> or underwater
23:00 erle yeah so?
23:00 MTDiscord <Jordach> basically cavegen is stupid and for reasons unknown, ignores the fact it's generating above ity
23:00 erle ity?
23:01 MTDiscord <Jordach> basically function goes brr
23:01 erle i fail to see how that helps. are you saying that for underground mapblocks it could be that cavegen ALWAYS thinks it's time to punch holes?
23:01 MTDiscord <Jordach> even though it's got arguments not to
23:01 MTDiscord <Jordach> yes
23:01 erle hmmm
23:01 erle any idea how to make it behave then?
23:01 MTDiscord <Jordach> basically if you're adding a layer
23:02 MTDiscord <Jordach> onto an existing mapgen like v7 or carp
23:02 MTDiscord <Jordach> it'll shove the caves in as it pleases
23:02 MTDiscord <Jordach> only singlenode is unaffected
23:03 MTDiscord <Jordach> in otherwords rather than using on_gen directly, consider using minetest.after with a 0 delay
23:03 MTDiscord <Jordach> it'll run the generation on the next tick
23:03 erle wait what hmmm
23:03 erle it's that easy?
23:04 MTDiscord <Jordach> just pipe the vmin, vmax etc args into an after
23:04 MTDiscord <Jordach> they shouldn't theoretically expire
23:04 erle i believe it when i see it
23:04 MTDiscord <Jordach> isn't it weird af that i know more about mapgen shenanigans than paramat
23:05 erle not weird, haven't seen paramat in a while?
23:05 erle also everyone has their special topics
23:05 erle i remember how hard it was to convince people that yes you can explode tnt in invisible mapblocks
23:05 MTDiscord <Jordach> his fixes usually involve popsicle sticks and hot glue
23:05 erle bc they are just invisible, they are simulated server side
23:06 MTDiscord <Jordach> yeah i've noticed the all black world bug
23:06 MTDiscord <Jordach> happens a lot when c_air isn't propagated
23:06 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> What does it mean for a mapblock to be invisible?
23:06 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Unloaded?
23:06 MTDiscord <Jordach> basically the whole thing is content ignore for no actual reason
23:06 erle oneplustwo, it will not be sent to the client basically
23:06 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Is it intended?
23:06 MTDiscord <Jordach> there does seem to be a race issue
23:06 MTDiscord <Jordach> because my mapgen when it goes wrong by one digit causes them
23:07 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> So it's a bug, not a feature.
23:07 MTDiscord <Jordach> i suspect the on generated multithread patch is the source for these issues
23:07 erle oneplustwo i guess it is intended in the way that by making the map border permanently unloaded, you get mod compat for free
23:08 MTDiscord <Jordach> this is a massive hunch because others had concerns it may introduce issues
23:08 MTDiscord <Jordach> even if it's not being used
23:08 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Why do you get mod compatibility for free?
23:08 erle oneplustwo basically mods have to deal with unloaded mapblocks anyway. if the behaviour at the map border was anything else than “permanently unloaded” you'd need special code for that so your mods don't explode once they encounter the map border
23:09 MTDiscord <Jordach> well content ignore or nil is what minetest returns to mods that attempt to access mapblocks that aren't actively loaded
23:09 erle basically, the behaviour is carefully engineered so that most mods will not cause problems
23:09 erle there are a few caveats of course
23:09 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> So this "feature" is only intended to happen at the map border?
23:10 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Oh, I think I understand now, nvm.
23:10 erle most importantly, any mod coder who thinks that a mapblock will *eventually* load should go back to minetest bootcamp
23:10 erle i have seen code like that, where someone just blocks until a mapblock loads
23:10 erle it's stupid for all kinds of reasons
23:10 erle the most important one being that well, it blocks forever at the map border
23:11 erle also by having an outer shell you get neat structure placement
23:11 MTDiscord <Jordach> when i was implementing voronoi cells as v3s16s (the .Y field is used as an informational bit) i wasn't using floating point operations to determine the cell
23:11 MTDiscord <Jordach> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/747163566800633906/958503769396621322/unknown.png
23:12 erle oneplustwo if you ever wondered how you can have half a structure at the map border, the secret is that it is half inside an unloaded area
23:12 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> So when you say that you can explode tnt in invisible mapblocks, you mean that you can both place the node and get it to produce the tnt entity?
23:12 erle unloaded on the client, that is
23:12 MTDiscord <Jordach> yues
23:12 MTDiscord <Jordach> it happens "off screen" but the server still knows about it
23:13 MTDiscord <Jordach> like green screen ninjas
23:13 MTDiscord <Jordach> the effect is still performed, but it's not visible to clients
23:13 erle well, easiest way to prove the existence of nodes and entities in invisible map parts is to a) place rails there (you can do that using vanilla client) b) go on the rails with a minecart
23:13 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> So basically the server has access to some mapblocks near the border, while the client doesn't.
23:13 erle because entities will be rendered there, jordach you are wrong about it being entirely invisble
23:14 MTDiscord <Jordach> by ninjas i meant world changes
23:14 erle ah yeah
23:14 MTDiscord <Jordach> not that entities can be rendered, because i've had raycasts go beyond c_ignore mapblocks
23:14 MTDiscord <Jordach> and still function as intended
23:14 erle i once went to the world border of clamity and made an invisibe water source
23:14 erle invisible, well … in reality it was just a corner with 2 adjacent water sources
23:14 erle take water out of the corner, it gets replenished
23:15 erle also some fun-lover wrote their name outside of the map using enchantment table book entities on oysterity server
23:16 MTDiscord <Jordach> entities have no real limit so to speak
23:16 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> So the client just can't view what's going on in the invisible mapblock, but it can interact with it?
23:17 erle oneplustwo, you need to trick server-side code into doing stuff there
23:18 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> So the engine by default doesn't allow interaction with the invisible mapblocks, but mod code can help you bypass that?
23:21 MTDiscord <Jordach> yep
23:21 MTDiscord <Jordach> remember minetest as a client can only see what the server sends it
23:26 erle there is an example
23:26 erle exception
23:26 erle you can trivially place nodes in invisible mapblock space
23:27 erle it's fun to race this thing btw. i once managed to explode part of a mapblock after it had been c++ generated, but before the lua code had replaced all of the stuff.
23:28 erle it's *very* hard to reproduce though
23:28 erle the result was a crater that was half-dirt-with-grass
23:28 erle i think
23:29 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Interesting.
23:29 erle regardless, it's trivial to figure out that minetest is not exactly threadsafe, just compile it using tsan
23:30 erle not only will it slow to a crawl, you get tons of warnings
23:30 erle (the “slow to a crawl” part is 100% tsan's fault)
23:31 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> " Typical slowdown introduced by ThreadSanitizer is about 5x-15x."
23:31 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Yep
23:31 erle oneplustwo, easiest way to place nodes in invisible space is to noclip out there and target the outer shell of a node adjacent to invisible space
23:32 erle for various reasons that should be entirely obvious it would be extremely stupid to make this impossible, but let's not go there ore some gremlins get ideas and chew off the wings of the plane
23:32 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> I thought you said the server prevents that by default?
23:32 erle take some entity-rendered node and you'll see
23:33 erle i wrote some stuff on the top clamity world border using duped ender chests
23:33 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> So it would work with an entity-rendered node, but not a "regular" node, right?
23:33 erle nah, the regular node is still there
23:34 erle fleck used to hide his loot in invisible space by using pistons to push it there or get it back
23:34 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Wait, so can the client interact inside an invisible mapblock?
23:34 erle only in a very limited way, as far as i can see. you can place nodes.
23:35 erle i devised something using hoppers to hide stuff in invisible space
23:35 erle i also made a nether portal that was half in invisible space hehe
23:36 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> So you can't do stuff like access metadata in an invisible mapblock?
23:36 erle look you can't do anything there
23:36 erle to the client it's all ignore
23:36 erle for good reasons
23:38 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> How can you place a node then?
23:38 erle i told you
23:38 erle target the outer part of a node in visible space
23:38 erle the part that is bordering invisible space
23:38 erle or just use /setblock in mcl* game lol
23:38 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> No, I mean ignoring the client logic.
23:39 erle since you are a known cheater, i am pretty sure you can figure out how to place any node anywhere?
23:39 erle wasn't there some waspsaliva command for it?
23:39 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Yeah, sure, trivial with a csm, no?
23:39 erle try it
23:39 erle i bet you find funny edge cases
23:40 erle though i must warn you, if you place a node too far out, mods like observer crap their pants, but i'm not sure if it is an engine bug.
23:41 MTDiscord <Jordach> basically the minetest network protocol is more like the x11 protocol than an actual game protocol
23:41 MTDiscord <Jordach> theoretically with luasockets you can link up singleplayer instances
23:41 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Wait, so what server-side code trickery is required then?
23:41 MTDiscord <Jordach> yes
23:41 MTDiscord <Jordach> the server can do what it pleases
23:41 MTDiscord <Jordach> the clients just have to accept it
23:42 MTDiscord <Jordach> mods are server side and are thusly immune to client side behaviour
23:42 MTDiscord <Jordach> that includes CAO/SAO
23:42 MTDiscord <Jordach> just because it's not visible or rendered on the client doesn't mean that existence suddenly ends
23:43 MTDiscord <Jordach> also >tsan
23:43 MTDiscord <Jordach> that's like using a M1 Abrams to go to race at an F1 circuit
23:43 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> ik, but i don't see what is meant by server-side code trickery. seems more like tricking the client into interacting in an ignored area to me
23:44 MTDiscord <Jordach> yes because the client is dumb as rocks
23:44 MTDiscord <Jordach> for all the server knows it may not even be a minetest client
23:44 MTDiscord <Jordach> ie passes the "duck test"
23:44 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Just make a "client" that sends the required packets manually XD
23:45 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> That's what people do to DOS MT servers, right?
23:45 MTDiscord <Jordach> if it looks like minetest, makes a sound like minetest, it probably is minetest
23:45 MTDiscord <Jordach> the server cannot verify if the client is of minetest/minetest or a fork
23:45 MTDiscord <Jordach> or even a shell script that simulates a client
23:47 erle there are several non-minetest clients
23:47 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Even if the entirety of minetest was redesigned, would it even be possible to identify a "real" client from a shell script?
23:47 erle there is this one python script that exposed the state machine bug
23:47 erle oneplustwo a) no b) it is a strength of minetest that the client is hella dumb
23:48 MTDiscord <Jordach> dumb clients means a lack of dealing with two separate lua threads that need to cross communicate and share data
23:48 erle i think almost everyone who advocates for client side mods on grounds of “better prediction” has not ever read up on the design of distributed network applications
23:48 erle a good starting point is roy fieldings phd thesis
23:48 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Better prediction?
23:48 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Better prediction of what?
23:49 erle better client side prediction
23:49 MTDiscord <Jordach> my position on SSCSM is that clients can change what ever the fuck they want to locally, but have no influence on the server state
23:49 MTDiscord <Jordach> think a CAO in place of the traditional wield item
23:49 erle the argument i have witnessed the most for server-sent client side mods (an endevour which i think is tremendously stupid) is that then the server can send code to better predict client side changes
23:50 erle for example, advanced trains going around curves
23:50 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> What part of the client is attempted to be predicted?
23:50 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Or is the client trying to predict stuff from the server?
23:50 erle currently, movement prediction for entities is a straight line
23:51 erle i.e. it gets jerky if you have less packets than one every frame or so?
23:51 MTDiscord <Jordach> Replacing it with curves might be a start
23:52 erle regardless, the solution is, of course, to a) never have state you want to sync back to the server, as jordach said b) communicate the prediction in a format that is context-free, regular or calc-regular
23:52 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Is that why when there are massive lag spikes in a server, the animals start moving in a straight line into walls comically?
23:52 erle i.e. whatever hints the server sends to the client must not be more complex than what a deterministic pushdown automaton can evaluate
23:52 MTDiscord <Jordach> Yes because clients don’t know
23:52 MTDiscord <Jordach> If clients don’t see they don’t do
23:53 erle otherwise you have a halting problem in movement prediction code
23:54 MTDiscord <Jordach> I’ve experimented with the idea of syncing Lua states with my boomer shooter
23:54 erle coincidentally, a lot of the people who shout the loudest for server-sent CSMs to make movements in their mods more fluid can't actually write performant lua code ;)
23:54 MTDiscord <Jordach> Basically my problem is that the display protocol that MT uses can’t handle lots of things going on before turning to a pile of dog shit
23:54 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Wait, they want servers to be able to send csms to the client?
23:54 erle jordach curves are it, yes. my idea was to borrow from svg path syntax. you don't need to predict more than a second or so in the future anyway under normal circumstances.
23:54 MTDiscord <Jordach> The alternative is to use singleplayer mode and network the states like Doom or Quake does
23:55 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> That sounds like a possible security risk?
23:55 MTDiscord <Jordach> Not really
23:55 erle jordach see here https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=406922&amp;sid=8b5ccea4579c67f7b8f6df5f5188b64a#p406922
23:55 MTDiscord <Jordach> CSMs are already sandboxes
23:55 erle it is a huge security risk
23:55 MTDiscord <oneplustwo> Can't the sandbox feature be disabled though?
23:55 MTDiscord <Jordach> As long as users can reject or download and inspect them ie join the server twice to use them
23:55 erle basically, no one knows how to securely sandbox code that is more complex than … what a deterministic pushdown automaton can evaluate, see above.
23:56 erle i.e. if you can parse it with a) a regex b) by counting matching opening and closing braces/parenthesis c) a regex + length fields
23:56 erle then you are good
23:56 erle anything more complex is a nightmare
23:57 MTDiscord <Jonathon> sscsm is no worse than servers already exploiting bugs in minetest clients
23:57 erle oh, it is much worse.
23:57 MTDiscord <Jonathon> "coincidentally, a lot of the people who shout the loudest for server-sent CSMs to make movements in their mods more fluid can't actually write performant lua code ?" well, neither can you
23:57 erle at least the current bugs can all be fixed
23:57 erle but any SSCSM thing would be there to stay forever
23:58 MTDiscord <Jordach> If you really want SSCSM implement it yourself for LuaSocket multiplayer games
23:58 erle Jonathon the most you can prove with that argument is that i am a bad lua coder, which i will be freely admit. it's an attack on the messenger, not on the message.
23:58 MTDiscord <Jordach> Most of the architecture in my boomer shooter is all in memory which means minetest only needs to add client side entities
23:59 MTDiscord <Jordach> The server doesn’t need to give two shits about a tracer object but rather care if it’s valid or not
23:59 erle jordach have you looked into waspsaliva code for inspiration?
23:59 MTDiscord <Jordach> No I’m not 13 years old and have delusions of being the best griefer evar!!1
23:59 erle waspsaliva has a bit of clientside enhancements to minetest
23:59 erle come on lol
