00:02 ircSparky this probably is also messing up my node timer item spawning system

00:47 paramat what value is 'elapsed' for the buggy airdrop?
00:51 paramat in 'on timer', "elapsed is the total time passed since the timer was started"
00:52 paramat so i would expect '30'
00:53 ircSparky well just now
00:53 ircSparky after 17-ish seconds after dropping
00:53 ircSparky the timer was ~52
00:54 paramat weird. no idea so far
00:56 ircSparky yea, it will tell you when you run it (in chat)
00:56 ircSparky the elapsed time whenever on_timer is triggered

10:49 Fixer god damn that tool is shaping up good
10:51 entuland_ joined #minetest-hub
11:21 nerzhul nice but javashit
11:25 ANAND Greetings, does the Lua API support custom keybindings?
11:26 NathanS21 unfortunately no.
11:26 NathanS21 There are some kinda hacky workarounds, but I'm not sure how any of them actually work.
11:38 ANAND oh :/
11:38 ANAND thanks
12:15 ANAND Is there a way to get an Itemstack from mod_storage?
12:29 Mr_Pardison joined #minetest-hub
12:35 ANAND o/ Mr_Pardison
12:36 Mr_Pardison O7 ANAND
12:36 ANAND the whole mod needs a redo
12:36 ANAND lots of unnecessary code here and there
12:37 ANAND the PR is going to take a couple of days
12:37 ANAND ...to submit
12:37 * Mr_Pardison would like to point out that this is his first foray into making a full-fledged mod
12:37 ANAND Oh I understand
12:37 ANAND I'm just saying
12:37 ANAND I no expert either, I've just made two :)
12:37 ANAND I'm*
12:38 Mr_Pardison The only other things I've done with lua are making a fork of technic so it supports plant life from Ethereal NG and change the activation key for the woodcutter mod.
12:38 ANAND I see
12:52 Fixer nerzhul: i'm still kinda java hater (because of need to install and update it in anal way), but being written in java probably allowed to make minecraft huuuuuuuuugely moddeable
12:52 Fixer and performance is quite good
12:52 Fixer only annoyance is java maintenance, kinda sad windows does not include it and autoupdate it
12:53 Fixer even early minecraft already had amazing mods that minetest still not have in 2018 with that luajit half-dead OOM thing
12:53 Mr-Pardison Fixer: if you don't like it, then why don't you be part of the solution instead of being a problem?
12:54 Fixer modding was somewhat hacky but how damn amazing it is, I have like 8 mods just on my 1.7.3 beta and it is freaking stable as a rock
12:54 Fixer mods like minimap, conv inventory, speed improvers, etc
12:55 Fixer also, minecraft modding has a lot of crashes too
12:55 Fixer if you have big modpacks
12:55 Fixer like 100-200-300 mb big
12:55 Fixer whole thing starts for minutes
12:55 Fixer and takes like 4GB of RAM
12:55 Fixer at a minimum
12:55 Fixer minetest is much more faster in this part
12:56 Fixer or maybe it feels like it
12:56 Fixer Mr-Pardison: i just saying that being Java is not that bad actually for minecraft
12:57 Fixer CPP version is very anal and limited, yes, its render performance is much better it seems, but some aspects are degraded
12:57 Fixer but java one will be a king for a very long time
13:01 Fixer minetest is focused too much on engine but too little on actual games
13:05 rubenwardy ANAND: parse/write_json and item:to_table()
13:05 rubenwardy etc
13:06 nerzhul in java you can overwrite anything by replacing jar yes
13:06 rubenwardy Java has powerful reflection
13:06 rubenwardy and also encourages a modular design
13:06 rubenwardy would be nice if Minetest was modular
13:07 rubenwardy like, the mapgens could be C++ mods which are statically compiled in
13:07 rubenwardy not sure how you'd manage networking and game state well
13:07 rubenwardy \o/
13:07 Fixer nerzhul: yeah, that is what people dead, jar->zip, remove that meta folder, replaces classes, ???, MODDED! And it worked amazingly good despite the very hacky feel
13:08 Fixer dead = did*
13:08 Fixer now it is more fancy
13:08 Fixer you install forge that provides modding api and then you dump ton of mods into /mods
13:09 Fixer there was modloader too in beta
13:09 Fixer but I do not use it for multiplayer
13:09 Fixer just direct insertion via MultiMC
13:09 Fixer amazingly stable
13:10 Fixer despite warning on multiplayer page - beta play over the net is very robust
13:10 Fixer that is 2011 tech remind you
13:10 Fixer singleplayer has worse performance though then newer versions
13:10 Fixer than*
13:11 rubenwardy you have a lot of vision and attention to detail (from your testing), you really should try modding/programming some time
13:11 Fixer optitick + optifine fixes that to a degree
13:11 Fixer me?
13:11 Fixer i was thinking about modding, stuff like builder wands etc
13:12 Fixer i never start it due to crazy procrastination
13:12 Calinou modular C/C++ design is possible, but do you want it in a networked game that can download mods? ;)
13:12 Calinou it's the reason you still have to run 32-bit Enemy Territory today, because nobody compiles mods for 64-bit there
13:12 Calinou (even on Linux)
13:13 Fixer i'm also long-lazy builder in minetest/minecraft
13:13 Fixer my Hometown base still has dirt furniture
13:13 Fixer i finally started some changes on it, but it is not fast enough
13:13 rubenwardy just drop support for 32 bit
13:13 Fixer i've directed my attention away for a bit, checking some minecraft beta world saves and playing on beta servers, sorry for that
13:14 Fixer but when I did start minetest recently I had 2 crashes, one lua and one cpp with backtraces, so I guess I'm ok
13:14 Fixer also, why can't you build two builds in one? debug and release at the same time?
13:14 ANAND rubenwardy, ok thanks
13:15 Fixer in one package
13:15 Fixer so I don't need to rebuild if I have some crash
13:15 rubenwardy it's possible CMake
13:16 rubenwardy it's possible with CMake
13:16 rubenwardy ie: libraries do this to provide release and debug versions
13:16 Fixer also stuff like vmanip drives me crazy, I totally not understand this sorcery
13:16 Fixer it feels like chinese language
13:16 Fixer random symbols
13:17 Fixer smth = smth weird
13:17 rubenwardy I love vmanip
13:17 ANAND rubenwardy, isn't the option to enable both debug and release windows only?
13:17 rubenwardy it's my favourite API feature
13:17 rubenwardy it's not somewhere you want to start with though

13:19 IcyDiamond https://twitter.com/nixcraft/status/992393777955463169?s=19
13:19 IcyDiamond Related to earlier discussion
13:19 IcyDiamond XD
13:19 rubenwardy XD
13:19 Fixer mc beta uses as much cpu as minetest, 1 core full pretty much
13:23 Fixer i was really interested in this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bjATEz8-3c
13:23 Fixer minetest should have this asap
13:25 rubenwardy that's cool
13:25 rubenwardy it's possible with pointed_thing and entities
13:25 Fixer a lot of builders on youtube use that
13:26 Fixer it is super useful
13:26 Fixer you have not seen their replacer tools
13:26 Fixer they damn gooooooooooooood
13:26 rubenwardy also, World Painter
13:26 Fixer are*
13:26 rubenwardy is World Painter FOSS? Maybe it could be ported
13:27 Fixer actually a lot of important stuff in MC is FOSS
13:27 rubenwardy https://github.com/Captain-Chaos/WorldPainter
13:27 rubenwardy it is!
13:28 rubenwardy ooo https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=16649&start=25#p253252
13:28 Fixer it is also quite long standing one iirc
13:28 rubenwardy links to a Minetest plugin
13:30 CWz joined #minetest-hub
13:30 Mr_Pardison joined #minetest-hub
13:33 rubenwardy the plugin 404s
13:33 rubenwardy I sent them a PM
13:33 rubenwardy it's cool the official maker of WorldPainter tried to support it
13:42 Fixer here another VERY USEFUL tool to have: https://youtu.be/9I3bfFkyZpM?t=126
13:43 Fixer aka block replacer
13:43 Fixer one we have from Soko has fewer features
13:43 ANAND joined #minetest-hub
13:43 rubenwardy have you seen https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=15241
13:44 Fixer rubenwardy: that is too pain to use imo, just one tool can do all of this
13:44 Fixer like that builder wands
13:44 Fixer with visualisation
13:47 Fixer this one is funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BceRw6oGFdg
13:47 Fixer mecreeps that do various tasks for you
13:47 rubenwardy yeah, it needs visuallisation
14:05 rubenwardy I think I'd do a new mod for that
14:26 sniper570 joined #minetest-hub
14:42 ircSparky would anyone be able to offer any more insight about this problem? http://irc.minetest.net/minetest-hub/2018-05-15#i_5307478 (continues just a bit on the 16th logs)

15:59 IcyDiamond can you have decorations in the world that look like item drops that lay on their side?
16:00 IcyDiamond like a tree branch or a rock
16:05 IcyDiamond do i have to make a custom model or does the engine support it
16:08 sofar it can make entities with wielditem type I think
16:09 ThomasMonroe how do I darken a texture using '^colorize'?
16:10 IcyDiamond so it has to be entity?
16:10 IcyDiamond aw
16:15 Krock joined #minetest-hub

16:37 IcyDiamond how does leveled nodebox node work
16:39 Gael-de-Sailly joined #minetest-hub
16:54 Krock IcyDiamond, some magic and circular saw
16:55 Krock check out the lua_api, we surely have some helper functions for it
16:55 Mr-Pardison mostly sorcery.

18:33 rubenwardy what is it with american TV and showing annoying pop-ups every so often
18:38 xerox123 moneeeey
18:39 ThomasMonroe ^
18:39 xerox123 $$$$$$$$$
18:39 aerozoic joined #minetest-hub
18:39 * Mr-Pardison takes some of that $$$ from xerox123 to pay for his upcoming expenses
18:39 ThomasMonroe $_$
18:44 Fixer do not watch TV, it is useless
18:50 rdococ Yay for hair cutsâ„¢
18:51 rdococ Fixer: I get Right-Wing Propaganda Televisionâ„¢
18:51 Fixer no
18:51 Fixer TV is useless
18:51 rdococ yo
18:51 Fixer fully useless
18:52 Mr-Pardison on what grounds do you base that claim?
18:57 aerozoic Is "/last-login" a command that comes with vanilla MT?
18:57 BakerPrime I think so.
18:57 Fixer Mr-Pardison: my experience
18:58 Fixer Mr-Pardison: TV is one of the worsest media
18:58 Mr-Pardison aerozoic: AFAIK, yes.
18:58 Mr-Pardison Fixer: "worsest" isn't even a word!
18:59 rdococ I don't watch television.
18:59 xerox123 Mr-Pardison: they hate it so much 'worse' couldn't describe it
18:59 xerox123 !!
19:00 BakerPrime Er
19:00 BakerPrime I'm outta here, AFIRC (Away From IRC)
19:00 Mr-Pardison lol k
19:00 rdococ BakerPrime is yay.
19:01 BakerPrime Pingz
19:01 BakerPrime Ofc, rdococ, should have expected it.
19:01 * BakerPrime heads back to laying 4000000 more stone tiles in-game
19:01 rdococ I'm reading about how stupid Windoze 10 is
19:02 Mr-Pardison you just now see how horrible it is?
19:03 * BakerPrime would rather drink bleach then use Win10
19:03 rdococ No, I've known for ages
19:04 Mr-Pardison I'd rather fail several classes than use w10
19:04 Calinou I used Windows 10 during university before, I didn't have a choice :(
19:05 Mr-Pardison RIP Calinou
19:05 rdococ School still uses Windows 7, which is good.
19:06 rdococ The IT guys seem to suck at their jobs, though. Half the time the laptops appear to be reinstalling Google Chrome every time you start them up.
19:06 Mr-Pardison that's sad.
19:06 Mr-Pardison w7 was decent but 8 & 10 were the stuff of nightmares.
19:06 Calinou I really dislike using Windows 7 now
19:07 Calinou stuff is old (no recent PowerShell out of the box, so I can't install Scoop if I don't have admin privileges :P)
19:07 Calinou also, it looks far more dated in terms of design
19:07 Calinou there's no WSL, support for ANSI color codes in cmd.exe and so on
19:09 Krock aerozoic, yes. https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/builtin/game/chatcommands.lua#L944
19:09 aerozoic thx Krock
19:09 Krock !next
19:09 MinetestBot Another satisfied customer. Next!
19:10 aerozoic "satiisfied" is far from it XD
19:10 * Mr-Pardison plays "Satisfied" from Hamilton

21:58 Fixer cmd.exe always sucked
21:58 Fixer it probably sucks even more compared to Win98 version
22:06 Calinou Fixer: it's horizontally resizable in Windows 10 :P
22:06 Fixer Calinou: 30 years passed...
22:06 Calinou yeah

23:38 paramat (off) is not an excuse to post too much offtopic, or post too much MC content
23:45 paramat please join a MC channel to post MC content
23:46 paramat and please restrain the posts about how much better MC is than MT
23:47 rdococ nobody here says MC is better than MT, anyone who does think that wouldn't be here
23:57 entuland isn't that the whole point of posting such messages, trying to convince others? :P
