21:40 MTDiscord <Juri> Ah I see you in here Sfan5
21:40 MTDiscord <Juri> Hi
21:41 MTDiscord <Juri> I got told that you are maintaining the public server list
21:41 MTDiscord <Juri> In that case I want to draw your attention to a server called "VineMine [EN/RU]"
21:42 MTDiscord <Juri> The admin is using bots to boost his rank in the list and admits that publicly
21:42 erle why what is there
21:42 erle also this channel is for engine discussion
21:42 MTDiscord <Juri> Oh sorry
21:43 erle dw i make the same mistake all the time
21:43 MTDiscord <Juri> I just got told that I probably should try to reach out for Sfan5 and I saw messages from him in here
22:01 kilbith joined #minetest-dev
22:11 kilbith @x2048 come to me in IRC so we can discuss rendering
22:27 erle anyone aware of this rendering bug? https://mister-muffin.de/p/xB39.png
22:27 erle Warr1024 this is the wooden ladder in nodecore that looks invisible when it is surrounded by items
22:27 erle might be a nodecore bug, not sure
22:28 MTDiscord <luatic> @Warr1024
22:28 erle as soon as i remove one of the items, the ladder becomes visible again
22:32 panwolfram joined #minetest-dev
22:34 MTDiscord <Warr1024> oh, wow, never heard of that.
22:35 MTDiscord <Warr1024> wouldn't be surprised if it were a victim of unexpected consequences of that nodebox rendering optimization thing
22:36 MTDiscord <Warr1024> NodeCore is definitely not doing anything special there.
22:42 erle Warr1024 can you try to reproduce?
22:46 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Well, I wasn't able to on an old 5.5.0-dev snapshot, I'll have to try on a 5.6.0-dev stream...
22:49 MTDiscord <Warr1024> no luck on Minetest 5.6.0-dev-8756b7a73
22:54 MTDiscord <Warr1024> hmm, well, ... it occurs to me that I was not necessarily keeping my minetest and irrlichtmt versions in sync, and the irrlichtmt version number only seemed to have a release, not an exact commit hash...
23:06 erle might be that this is another miscompile on my end or your end … who knows lol
23:08 erle Warr1024 or maybe it depends on rendering settings. for example, some nodeboxes from my studs mod appear black if “smooth lighting” is not on.
23:25 erle Warr1024, i am not able to reproduce this with a 5.6.0-dev snapshot
23:26 erle also i think the debug view should show the exact commit and buld flags hehe
23:39 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I just updated to latest and I can't repro it.
23:39 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I could try smooth lighting...
23:39 MTDiscord <Warr1024> would be weird if that were the one that affect it tho
23:40 erle try any options. but in the end it might be a miscompile on my part. the build system of minetest just really sucks.
23:40 erle i'll get to it if i ever hack on the engine again
23:40 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Turning off smooth lighting didn't do anything other than remind me why I used to play with it turned off back when I used to play games where exact light levels were very important.
23:40 erle and turning on or off shaders? does that something?
23:41 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I never really thought that the build system of MT sucks, in that at least it gets wrong only like 10% or less of what it COULD get wrong.  Bit cumbersome, but all it needed was a little TLC and one big-ass wrapper script :-D
23:42 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I can't possibly exhaustively test every possible combination of settings.
23:42 MTDiscord <Warr1024> You saw this on 5.5.0-release and only that version?
23:44 MTDiscord <Warr1024> if it were a dropped item then I could understand it, because those entities can sometimes end up delayed in showing up (that was one case where I ended up needing the ABM+LBM because the LBM worked like 99.99% of the time but I really needed 100%) but a simple nodebox node like a placed ladder is really just purely an engine thing.

23:54 erle Warr1024 i only say so often that the build system sucks because i actually know for sure how to prevent the kind of scenario where with every single bug you have to ask yourself if the binary was built correctly.
23:54 erle a friend of mine once got a minetest where water did not render and i am pretty sure that it was a build that did not correspond to the source code.
23:54 erle i mean probably to some source code, but not the one of minetest.
23:55 erle Warr1024 does the bug occur in 5.4.1 actually?
23:55 erle for you
