00:00 Natechip paramat: i made my own fork with the help of Shara: https://github.com/stolven11/minetest-1
00:00 paramat cool
00:01 Shara Natechip: welcome to the group of, hmm, 800+ people who got that far yet :)
00:01 Natechip hehe
00:01 Fixer Calinou: brutal doom is huuuge win
00:03 Fixer Calinou: this is on par with some bestest Duke Nukem bloodiest battles

00:29 shivajiva paramat: how do I get minetest version so I can conditionally support earlier code?
00:29 rubenwardy shivajiva, what for?
00:30 paramat network protocol version?
00:30 rubenwardy version check is a bad idea, you should try using features or the availability of functions
00:30 rubenwardy if it's a server checking client compat, then check the client's protocol version
00:30 rubenwardy minetest.get_client_info or smth
00:30 shivajiva want to add the earlier settings format conditionally dependant on minetest version
00:31 rubenwardy if minetest.settings then  -- new way
00:31 rubenwardy else -- old way
00:31 rubenwardy end
00:32 shivajiva hehe so obvious retrospectively , ty
00:34 ircSparky is cotton supposed to grow when you plant wheat?
00:36 rubenwardy lol
00:36 paramat heh no
00:38 Natechip LOL ircSparky
00:38 ircSparky well, on my server, when players plant wheat, a few of the seeds turn out to be cotton
00:38 Shara Are you sure they're not just planting some cotton ones as well?
00:38 ircSparky maybe its because the engine is new and my default is old
00:39 ircSparky yep
00:39 ircSparky I planted the wheat seeds myself
00:39 shivajiva that's random behaviour, how often does it happen
00:41 ircSparky i have 4 cotton plants in my 9x9 farm
00:48 Shara ircSparky: Have mods running which might change farming?
00:49 ircSparky no
00:50 ircSparky it started after i updated my minetest engine, so im guessing there is a bug with an older version of farming or default
00:51 Natechip guys

10:47 red-001 hi IhrFussel
10:48 IhrFussel Hello guys^^ how's it going?
10:51 Megaf IhrFussel, that -> http://www.met.ie/nationalwarnings/default.asp
10:51 Megaf winds at 50 KM/h right now
10:54 IhrFussel Megaf, Berlin had a 115 km/h storm recently ... or I should rather say the majority of Germany East
10:56 IhrFussel Hundreds of trees fell, bus, train, tram, subway had to stop for a few hours ... it was brutal
10:57 Megaf my college is closed
11:19 shivajiva strange looking sky today in the UK, yellow, orange and green today
11:20 Shara Was yellow here when I woke.

11:41 Fixer what a great time
11:45 nerzhul Fixer, yeah
11:45 nerzhul just update when patch available
11:45 nerzhul hopefuly i'm on a openbsd it should be fixed asap, or not working
11:52 nerzhul i search the iamge where someone uses many plug convertors (5-8 convertors) to plug a mouse from USB to PS2 to parallel, etc
11:53 nerzhul do you remember this image ?
11:53 Fixer https://www.krackattacks.com/
11:54 Fixer "you should also update the firmware of your router" kekekekekkkekekeekk
11:54 red-001 I think that means flash it with openWRT
11:54 Fixer rip
11:54 red-001 too bad my router doesn't have enough memory for that
11:55 nerzhul i found it: https://www.geek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/500x_chain-usb1.jpg
11:56 Fixer i need to update clients too? that is fucked up
11:56 Fixer so all of this shit around is vulnerable and can be exploited and will never update, thanks to shiteconomy
12:06 Megaf Oh boy!!! Storm is ariving where I live now!

15:01 jas_ re: skin format/cape support.  it's fascinating to me because i actually select skins to use that explicitly don't have a cape, because of the clothing mod and cape craftitem that's used instead.
15:02 jas_ so if stujones11 continues to support capes in clothing mod, dropping/changing skin formatting wouldn't bother me; but yeah there's always been capes in my MT experience

15:40 IhrFussel Is there an easy way to get the pos between the player and a certain radius? Like I want to make a command that forceloads all blocks in a radius of 20
15:42 rubenwardy playerpos + normaliseddirection * radius
15:42 ThomasMonroe couldnt you loop through a cube checking to see if the pos's are within the radius?
15:42 rubenwardy wait, saw latter bit
15:45 neinwhal joined #minetest-hub
16:10 atorian37 a Player put lava on the surface of my landscape, how can I get it away? it looks very strange, I am not sure but I thought I saw it desappearing and appearing again...whats that?
16:18 Xio joined #minetest-hub
16:18 lisac atorian37, did you try placing a node inside it?
16:18 lisac the source, ofc.
16:18 shivajiva if you have wordedit installed us the remove liquid function if you cant determine the source node
16:19 shivajiva +e
16:19 Shara I've seen liquids fading in and out of the ground with no source before. WE is a good fix (and could have even been the cause)
16:22 shivajiva I must have removed 5-6 million nodes of water before they added that feature
16:23 shivajiva replacing both source and flowing with air
16:23 Shara Been there :)
16:24 ThomasMonroe atorian37 the reason it was disappearing and reappearing was due to having the wavy water shader enabled
16:25 shivajiva when stomchaser put the server up, one of the players decided they wanted to be surrounded by water, 2.5 million nodes later and storm found himself in a huge lake, top trolling of a new server :)
16:27 shivajiva funniest bit was he was miffed that I removed it the second it became my server
16:51 atorian37 :) ok... so that what happen was not a bug or a hack but it was made by the player with the possibilitees he has anyway?
16:53 atorian37 thanks, to place a cobblestone helped a bit... but have to investigate if theres more of it because the player was without adult surveiance :(
17:01 atorian37 strange: a player has left his bones and they do not get old bones, are still fresh but he played yesterday?
17:17 jas_ nodetimer stuck?  when is 0.4.17?
17:19 sofar when it's done
17:19 sofar inspector mod can show nodetimer values

21:17 Natechip ...
21:18 benrob0329 VanessaE: does anyone actually have a new character design idea for MTG?
21:18 Natechip benrob0329 whos M!TG?
21:18 Natechip MTG*
21:19 Wayward_One Minetest Game
21:19 benrob0329 Natechip: Minetest Game
21:19 Natechip duh
21:19 Natechip im just dumb I guess :P
21:20 benrob0329 https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/1235
21:20 Natechip looking for new character
21:21 VanessaE benrob0329: idk.  doubt it though.
21:22 benrob0329 Some don't want MC compatible skins, and VE is saying that we don't need NIH syndrome. However if we had a new design that needed more detail, then it would make sense
21:22 VanessaE I can guarantee you the vast majority of MT users want MC skin compatibility.
21:23 VanessaE and probably just about all server owners, too
21:23 benrob0329 VanessaE: well, it'd need to take head movement into account (sofar's idea) as well as armour/cloths, and wielded items
21:23 Natechip +1
21:23 benrob0329 And then you have that
21:24 VanessaE head movement is orthogonal to player model format.
21:24 sofar it just really depends on your perspective of things
21:24 sofar I really don't like having 2 layers of clothes in a single texture
21:24 VanessaE I've seen the old 1.0-compatible model move its head before with a mod (hacky, and horrible for net bandwidth, but it worked)
21:24 sofar that stuff should be a different material
21:24 benrob0329 The problem is that MT usually has NIH, or MC copycat syndrome, which is sad
21:24 VanessaE sofar: that much is true, but it's way too late for that now.
21:24 sofar NIH is a bullshit term
21:25 sofar it's a troll stamp to criticize redesigns
21:25 sofar sysvinit was NIH
21:25 sofar debian was NIH
21:25 VanessaE sofar: in this context, it's legit.
21:25 sofar benrob0329 was NIH
21:25 Natechip if they really want a new skin then they can do it their selfs and learn to make one, its easy enough
21:25 benrob0329 No it isnt, its a real term because some dont like not having created something (and even admit to it)
21:25 VanessaE because we already HAVE something useful that doesn't need to be redesigned, and which if redesigned would not be any better.
21:26 sofar MC keeps changing their skin layout too
21:26 VanessaE re-UV-map our existing boxy model to accept a 1.8 skin, and be done with it.
21:26 VanessaE MC has changed it only once to my knowledge?  1.0 and 1.8
21:26 benrob0329 VanessaE: Unless actually made better, in which case it'd be justified
21:26 Calinou they change it once or twice, IIRC
21:27 Calinou which is pretty infrequent, in 8 years :)
21:27 sofar it doesn't matter much anyway, since skin layout is per-server
21:27 sofar every server can change it as badly as they want
21:27 sofar unlike MC
21:27 * VanessaE sighs
21:27 benrob0329 MTG is the default, we need sane defaults
21:27 Calinou I don't know of any server which does this
21:27 Calinou (there's no reason to)
21:27 Natechip are we making this a copy of minecraft?
21:28 VanessaE Natechip: no, we are not.  but we already use MC-format skins and have for years.
21:28 VanessaE there's nothing to be gained by changing to some other format
21:28 VanessaE and a lot to lose.
21:28 Natechip VanessaE: i dont see anything wrong with current ones
21:28 sofar frankly I've lost any interest in mtg at this point, so don't bother listening to my opinion
21:28 VanessaE Natechip: that's the point - there's nothing wrong with current skins, either 1.0 or 1.8.
21:29 benrob0329 Natechip: the entirety of MT is, realistically born from MC
21:29 Natechip ok
21:29 Shara Personally I'd rather not need to change the skins used on my servers. Haven't read enough to be sure, but if a change would break that for me... ugh?
21:29 Natechip sofar: interested in subgames now?
21:29 sofar don't use that swearword, please
21:29 sofar either call them games or modpacks
21:30 sofar :P
21:30 Natechip ill stick to subgames, anyways.
21:30 benrob0329 Shara: converter script once, and not having to do it again
21:31 Shara But benrob0329, effort :(
21:31 benrob0329 Unlike not where we can loose most detail because the bottom is usually just cut off
21:31 benrob0329 *now
21:31 benrob0329 And arms/legs mirrored
21:31 Natechip something I think we should get rid of are these invisiable skins...
21:31 Natechip they are annoying
21:32 Shara Invisible skins?
21:32 Natechip invisible*
21:32 Shara What invisible skins?
21:32 benrob0329 Fully transparent
21:32 Shara SHouldn't that be the choice of the server owner?
21:33 sofar mt servers enforce all skin content, so, irrelevant
21:36 benrob0329 I think the discussion is probably moot anyways since no one who was interested in working on it actually posted their work
21:50 Fixer MTG as in MC beta 1.7.3 clone *cough*
21:54 Fixer sofar: we are all NIH
21:55 Natechip
21:55 Fixer Natechip: ask any questions in public here
21:56 Natechip Fixer: nvm, i already got it
21:58 Fixer Natechip: much faster response in chat, *if someone is not afk, we afk a lot sometimes
21:59 Fixer maybe minecraft skin design is not that bad, at least they have plenty of skins and even online tools to draw you own one
21:59 Fixer minetest should just decide what is best, choices are here
