11:49 Zughy[m] #10166 is one of the oldest open PRs, with a review in 2020 and a "Supported by core dev" tag since 2022 (due to the review?). It'd be nice to consider it, alongside Wuzzy PRs that are going through many rebases without any review in between
11:49 pgimeno https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/10166 -- Unittest/collision by scrain777
11:54 Zughy[m] Also, can Wuzzy be removed as a triager please? They don't even label their own things and I've publicly told them several times, it seems clear to me they're not really interested in the role
11:59 rubenwardy done
12:02 rubenwardy Me: huh, oldest PR is only 2020
12:02 rubenwardy also me: wait, 2020 was 3 years ago
13:15 MTDiscord <MisterE> Everyone knows the regular flow of time stopped at the end of 2019. Its actually still 2020
13:19 rubenwardy yay, I'm still 23
13:19 rubenwardy I want those 2 years back

14:12 Krock is it normal that -fsanitize=address,undefined  shows a ton of runtime errors within Irrlicht? e.g. runtime error: member call on address 0x61600001ce80 which does not point to an object of type 'IGUIEnvironment'
14:13 Krock hence dynamic_cast<>() fails as well
14:21 Krock nvm. dynamic_cast failed due to code error
16:26 Jon[m]1 joined #minetest-dev
16:35 ashstar1248 joined #minetest-dev
16:55 Desour joined #minetest-dev
16:57 Wuzzy joined #minetest-dev
16:58 Wuzzy Is it true that frame_blend in object:set_animation() is broken? what was the point of it, anyway?
17:13 fluxionary joined #minetest-dev
17:59 Krock > m_animated_meshnode->setTransitionTime(m_animation_blend);
17:59 Krock apparently that's only for joint animations?
18:20 Wuzzy it seems i have los the right to label my own issues and PRs :(
18:22 Desour Wuzzy: https://irc.minetest.net/minetest-dev/2023-02-21#i_6057291
18:26 Wuzzy fake news! i did label my own things, i just sometimes forgot it. i admit i might not be the best labeller but i haven't done active harm
18:30 Wuzzy Random question: What do you think is the biggest problem of lua_api.txt? people complain but never go into specifics. :(
18:30 Wuzzy i just posted 3 lua_api.txt PRs btw
18:31 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> lack of links, but that is blocked by the lua_api file extension rename
18:31 Wuzzy you mean, you want to make this clickable like a webpage?
18:32 Wuzzy hmmm yeah that *is* a good point. Ctrl+F isn't the greatest option :D
18:32 Desour yes, lack of links
18:32 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> being able to refer to sections as links, for markdown viewers which may or may not include the github web viewer
18:33 Wuzzy hmmm does markdown support links within the same page, even? like what HTML anchors do?
18:33 Desour also, an overview of functions would be useful. and I'd like to have standardized synopsis syntax. some format like the output of ldoc would be nice
18:34 Desour also, I want to search for function names, without doing full-text search (i.e. ignore examples, and co.).
18:34 Wuzzy hmm yeah i think some kind of generated documentatoin would be great
18:34 Desour oh, and related functions would be nice to see
18:35 Desour something like the sdl wiki would be nice
18:35 Desour https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/FrontPage
18:35 Wuzzy autogenerating lua_api will be hard because its a mix of builtin functions and C++ functions that have to be combined into one documenttion
18:35 Desour (i.e. something like https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/APIByCategory would be nice to have)
18:35 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> the SDL wiki is pretty interesting from a technical standpoint, it's a website that uses a Git repository with markdown files as a database
18:36 Wuzzy okay, structure aside, is there any important *content* that is missing?
18:36 Desour ^ it also gets some of its source from the sdl repo (=> two repos)
18:37 sfan5 worth noting that splitting it up can be worse, personally I like being able to search on one page
18:37 sfan5 search bars are good expect in the 5% of cases where they don't find what you need (and ctrl+f would)
18:38 Desour example for missing content: mapgen doc #13006
18:38 Wuzzy that can be done if documentation would be more automated. could generate one GIGA page and multiple sectioned pages
18:38 pgimeno https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/13006 -- Mapgen documentation is insufficient
18:38 rubenwardy Wuzzy: https://minetest.gitlab.io/minetest
18:38 Wuzzy good one, pgimenu
18:38 rubenwardy multiple pages generated from lua_api.txt
18:38 MTDiscord <luatic> sfan5: grep is as good
18:39 sfan5 Wuzzy: yep
18:39 Wuzzy oh, i didnt know you did this already. you must have updated this then. i must've missed it
18:41 Desour btw. I've seen multiple projects using sphinx (<https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/>) idx, maybe it would be suitable for minetest
18:42 rubenwardy oh god no, rst sucks
18:42 sfan5 it can also do markdown
18:45 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> Worth noting that because the minetest docs project (not that its going anywhere) is using asciidoc, it can be easily converted into a paginated website, a monolithic website, a monolithic doc file (probably), and a monolithic data file (for tools to parse)
