00:00 Fixer rubenwardy: growing too fast in 0.4.17?
00:01 Fixer rubenwardy: I was on hometown and noticed that too
00:04 orbitaldecay joined #minetest-hub
00:12 paramat it's a case of MTG being unfixable because it has to stay as it has been for various reasons
00:14 xerox123_ Was there at any point a "well known bug where can change entries disappear when the file gets big"
00:15 xerox123_ xban*
00:16 xerox123_ "it didn't happen yet for you. thats good. but, it maybe will, after the file gets big. you know how it works, what it stored, and how big it can get. then things look diffrent. maybe.. i dont know. there is even a recent update which fixes this error. but for 3 years now, the error was normal, and well known"
00:18 xerox123_ Looking though xban commit history, nothing seems to remotely describe what has been said
00:20 paramat airboat mod released https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=20485
00:28 xerox123_ Jet ski!

01:30 tumeninodes anyone else been getting this odd flicker lately? https://youtu.be/CLIh2XWIZl4
01:30 tumeninodes !title
01:30 MinetestBot tumeninodes: model light flicker - YouTube
01:31 tumeninodes https://pastebin.com/8rrbNKRA my minetest.conf
01:32 paramat weird
01:32 tumeninodes yeh
01:32 paramat i haven't
01:33 tumeninodes I notice it in HW as well
01:33 paramat well i can try with your settings
01:34 tumeninodes I noticed it a short while back, but not sure how long it has been going on
01:35 tumeninodes I use the same setting for both.
01:35 tumeninodes brb
01:38 Sokomine joined #minetest-hub
01:40 paramat can't reproduce with your settings
01:49 tumeninodes very strange then
01:51 paramat please open an issue pasting your entire .conf and linking the video
01:52 tumeninodes will do

02:58 tumeninodes it
02:58 tumeninodes doh... paramat: just selecting shaders 'on' (with no shaders selected) seems to trigger it
02:59 tumeninodes none of the other settings have any impact when turning off/on
03:00 tumeninodes so far impacted it player model, boat, your airship. No impact on wield items. I have not checked the chest yet
03:00 paramat hm
03:02 tumeninodes attachable entities are impacted
03:03 tumeninodes open chest does not have it, but the boat continues to flicker with chest open and formspec open (that takes skillz to see ya know)
03:08 tumeninodes ..., we need a shader dude/dudette :(
03:12 paramat lets see if others can reproduce this, it would probably have been reported by now if so
03:27 tumeninodes in the comments on the video, Jordan4Ibanez mentioned he has seen this since 2013. Shara mentioned she had seen it in 0.4.16
03:29 tumeninodes if you can retitle the issue with the correct terminology? (meaning related to attached entities), perhaps horses in mobs could be checked and cars, etc.
03:34 paramat you should be able to edit the title
03:35 tumeninodes ok, hopefully I don't sound like the moron I am haha

11:24 IhrFussel Is "if player and player:is_player()" needed? Or can I just check "if player:is_player()" ?
11:25 IhrFussel I mean does is_player() support nil values and won't crash?

16:23 IhrFussel If I have a file with multiple definitions and call from init.lua loadfile(mpath.."/misc.lua")(table.copy(car01_def)) will all definitions be added one by one or does it add all car definitions into the same table?
16:25 IhrFussel Example definition (there are ~ 10 of those in the same file) https://pastebin.com/UajiXK8e
16:26 Krock huh
16:27 Krock when they're all similar, then use a main table and/or move that stuff into a register function
16:27 Krock a = table.copy(b)  will make a have the same values as b but the tables are no longer referenced
16:32 garywhite joined #minetest-hub
16:34 IhrFussel Krock, but will it work with 10 different registrations in the file? Cause table.copy() runs through the whole file at once no?
16:35 IhrFussel I'm guessing the definition variable being "..." means "use table.copy() here"?
16:36 Krock not sure what you mean but yes on the ... part
16:36 IhrFussel I mean I have 10 different definitions in one file...will the loadfile + table.copy() register all definitions correctly or can there be an issue?
16:38 IhrFussel Here an example with 2 definitions https://pastebin.com/cUZa74k9
17:00 Krock seems about right?

17:50 Sokomine Krock: mirrors are an illusion. they do not exist! (after all we're in mt here)
17:51 Krock oh, that's it.
17:54 tumeninodes joined #minetest-hub
18:37 shivajiva having issues with mod security and writing a mts file to a mod directory in 0.4.17
18:38 shivajiva Mod security: Blocked attempted write to /home/*******/0.4.17/bin/../worlds/devblock/worldmods/spleef/schems/test.mts
18:38 sfan5 you can't write to mod directories
18:38 shivajiva ah okay, since when?
18:39 sfan5 mod security has always done that, so since mod security is the default
18:39 lumidify joined #minetest-hub
18:41 shivajiva strange I've been using this with mod security and have several files to the mod schems folder :O
18:42 shivajiva stopped working at 0.4.16 afaik for me
18:45 rubenwardy it's a bad idea to write to a mod directory anyway
18:45 rubenwardy unless it's for development
18:45 rubenwardy as updating a mod will remove any modifications to its files
18:45 shivajiva v.true
18:46 rubenwardy I need to get around to adding an index for the package manager to use
18:46 rubenwardy which includes a hash of the files
18:46 rubenwardy so that it can be verified as to whether there's any changes
18:47 rubenwardy and also store the release ID for quick look ups
18:47 shivajiva works fine in the world folder, don't know how I've managed to use the mods folder for so long, mystery inc.

19:53 tumeninodes can they be set alight before launching? And set the target afire?
20:03 Krock maybe
20:04 Shara Then need a shrink ray mod
20:04 Shara Shrink the players and ride on them :D
