08:33 Zughy[m] Desour: please don't ask for changes in a PR that hasn't been supported by a core dev. It creates the false sense of security in the contributor and it makes triagers looks like bad people when the PR gets closed (in case no one supported it). I'm referring to #13566

13:36 pgimeno regarding markdown and special symbols, I believe that the backslash works as an escape for special symbols
13:38 qur joined #minetest-dev
14:59 MTDiscord <luatic> indeed; normally I'd expect everything that has a strict syntax and needs to be followed verbatim (e.g. anything that isn't code) to use inline code blocks (backticks) though

21:26 imi where does minetest.string_to_area come from? is there a minetest=core line somewhere?
21:27 rubenwardy yes, minetest = core
21:27 MTDiscord <savilli> Exactly this line in init.lua
21:34 imi I can't change the specification of any funtions in core. Can I? If I do so it will be rejected, won't it?
21:34 rubenwardy core and minetest are the same table, you can override into it as you please
21:34 rubenwardy not that it's always a good idea
21:35 imi of what if I make an iterface change that is backwards compatible?
21:35 rubenwardy you could override and completely break the API if you wanted. People wouldn't install your mod though
21:36 imi well, I want to submit a PR regarding minetest.string_to_area
21:36 imi and I want my PR to be accepted :p
21:37 imi on error returns with nil, nil, "descriptive error" -- would that be accepted?
21:37 imi previously it returned with nil,nil on error
21:37 MTDiscord <savilli> We don't do that here
21:38 imi ok so 100% no changes in api
21:38 imi I guess
21:39 MTDiscord <savilli> 100% no accepted PRs
21:39 imi let me show you what I want to submit az a PR:
21:39 MTDiscord <savilli> Jokes aside, you should start with an issue
21:40 imi https://onecompiler.com/lua/3zbh8h8xp
21:42 imi comments explain the issue I'm having, there's some lua code functionality implemented, and also some comments regardin why I think my solution is good from a (mod) developer perspective (and admin as well)
21:42 imi and also you have just seen it running :)
21:54 sfan5 we really need to revise our issue template (or close issues if they do not provide the information), it took way too much back and forth in #13582 to discover that the reporter is using a view range of 4000
21:54 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/13582 -- 5.7.0 is extremely slow on Linux
22:18 imi should I submit my issue to MT or MT game?
22:35 panwolfram joined #minetest-dev
22:39 MTDiscord <savilli> MT
22:47 Zughy[m] sfan5: I'm a fan of the former (just close). The template is clear, if they delete it, it's at their own risk
22:50 MTDiscord <savilli> The template doesn't ask to paste minetest.conf tho

23:43 epoch joined #minetest-dev
23:44 epoch so, I was just thinking of something in relation to #7400 that might make "linking" to minetest servers slightly less painful
23:44 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/7400 -- Support minetest:// custom browser protocol
23:46 epoch if webpages used https://www.w3.org/TR/web-share/ to "link" to minetest servers, it would open a share dialog on browsers (except firefox)
23:46 epoch and minetest could be a share target
23:47 epoch I figure I should make a PoC I guess
23:50 epoch since a lot of people don't actually install minetest and just run it from a dir, the bits to grab the minetest: handler should probably be a button inside like, the settings tab
23:50 epoch instead of trying to tie it into an installer script that won't get ran
23:51 epoch this would allow people to have multiple versions and flip between which one they want as the default handler
