08:32 tenplus1 hi folksx
08:33 * VanessaE pokes tenplus1 with a lag spike ;)
08:33 tenplus1 lol, hi Vanessa
08:33 VanessaE hi
08:33 tenplus1 what's lagging today ?
08:33 VanessaE you didn't see my msg?
08:34 tenplus1 ? what message ?
08:34 VanessaE tenplus1: Sep-29 03:03 UTC <VanessaE> "which call is lagging in bees now" --"ABM #2, same as [before]"  i.e. wild hives take anywhere from 5 seconds to as much as 30 to spawn
08:34 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2 -- Burned wood
08:34 VanessaE shaddup, bot.
08:35 VanessaE and said time is spent lagging/hanging the server
08:35 VanessaE i.e. when the ABM hits, it takes an ice age to finish
08:35 tenplus1 checking
08:36 tenplus1 oh yeah, I tried making it an lbm but because it doesnt have neighbors the manual check made it lag even more
08:37 VanessaE ew
08:37 tenplus1 I know... it's the find_node_near for other hives that's causing the issue
08:37 VanessaE how wide a range is the code checking?
08:38 tenplus1 40 nodes, could replace it withj 20 maybe ?
08:38 VanessaE holy shit
08:38 VanessaE that's a huge range to check
08:39 VanessaE sounds like the code should be checking a perlin map or evenly divisible coords or something instead.
08:39 tenplus1 abm looks for leaves, will change it so neighbor is "air" to reduce the amount
08:39 VanessaE that will help.
08:39 tenplus1 ald will only check a radius of 20 instead of 40
08:42 VanessaE well that may put them too close together.
08:42 VanessaE how about checking if the target coords are evenly divisible by 40, and then a radius of 10?
08:43 VanessaE and then finally, pick a random position within 10m of the target
08:43 VanessaE make sense?
08:44 tenplus1 sounds like it would be more intensive
08:44 VanessaE hm.
08:44 tenplus1 would still need to add another find_nodes_near ir find_nodes_in_area for random end
08:44 Ruslan1 joined #minetest-hub
08:44 jas_ hi
08:44 VanessaE hence the 10m radius check.
08:45 tenplus1 but the divisible by 40 sounds ideal
08:46 tenplus1 saves the findnodenear check if it's spread out already
08:46 VanessaE divisible by 40 would be super cheap
08:46 VanessaE and no one will be able to see the difference in-world.
08:46 tenplus1 lemmie rmember what math function does that... too early in morning for mayth :D
08:46 VanessaE if math.floor(x/40) = x/40 then.....
08:47 tenplus1 lol yeah
08:47 VanessaE then the same with z, but not y
08:48 tenplus1 will give it a chance to be >- 5 nodes from the initial 40 check
08:48 VanessaE ok
08:48 tenplus1 bneing too specific limits the chance of a hive at all
08:53 ShadowKyogre16 joined #minetest-hub
08:54 tenplus1 unless I reduce the abm time from 1600 to 60 and it can check for the 40 divide and return if not found... will only place a hive at the exact location which solves it
08:55 tm6046 joined #minetest-hub
08:55 VanessaE that's why I suggested find_nodes_near and picking a random spot near the target coords
08:56 tenplus1 the final find_node_near would need to be looking for leaves and I'd have to add another check below it for air... so that's 2 additional
08:57 tenplus1 lemmie run a test world and see how often hives spawn with current 40 limit
09:00 tenplus1 wow, works surprisingly well
09:00 VanessaE :)
09:01 tenplus1 thanks for the suggestion... the /40 places enough hives spaced apart it doesnt need the check... alos, it can be made into an lbm a lot easier so they appear once only
09:01 VanessaE maybe keep it an ABM
09:01 VanessaE otherwise eventually no hives
09:02 tenplus1 keep them respawning... gotcha
09:02 HobbittQ joined #minetest-hub
09:02 tenplus1 might do a Y/10 thing as well, so hives dont spawn under each other
09:02 VanessaE good idea
09:03 VanessaE maybe y/5
09:03 tenplus1 k, nmew world. check8ing
09:04 jwfJD joined #minetest-hub
09:11 tenplus1 how often should be run abm and chance ?
09:12 VanessaE I think the original values are fine
09:12 VanessaE what was it, 1600 interval and some 40 chancee?
09:12 VanessaE -
09:12 VanessaE -e
09:13 tenplus1 as high ? you wont see hives for a while, especially if it's a specific location now
09:13 VanessaE what's your thought?
09:14 tenplus1 26 minutes at a chance of 20 could be made maybe 5 minutes and chance of 5
09:18 tenplus1 I'll do a happy medium, 800 time, 10 chance :)
09:18 VanessaE ok
09:20 tenplus1 git updated :) try this... https://notabug.org/TenPlus1/bees
09:20 tenplus1 it's funny, every 500 nodes or so you'll see a pine tree with 2x hives... 1 low down and 1 high up in same xy coord :) ahaha
09:21 tenplus1 I like that
09:27 IcyDiamond i wonder why decorations do that
09:27 tenplus1 hi icy... do what ?
09:27 IcyDiamond my crystals also appear one on the ceiling and one on the floor
09:27 IcyDiamond on the same xz
09:28 VanessaE tenplus1: heh
09:28 IcyDiamond i want them to be able to appear on ceiling or floor not both at the same time
09:28 VanessaE hence my suggestion to use find_nodes_near with a radius of 10, and pick a random item from the given list
09:28 tenplus1 put a random chance in there same as I did with illumishrooms
09:29 tenplus1 if math.random(1,2)==1 then return end
09:30 IcyDiamond btw i never got my tunneling to work
09:30 IcyDiamond i just cant do vector math
09:30 IcyDiamond at all
09:30 IcyDiamond xD
09:31 IcyDiamond i want the tunnel to appear in front of the player regardless of which direction (wallmount dir, not any angle in between) he's looking at
09:31 IcyDiamond need to get a minp and maxp from that somehow
09:32 tenplus1 local dir = player:get_look_direction()
09:32 tenplus1 and work with that
09:32 IcyDiamond i did, but "work with that" isn't helping me
09:32 IcyDiamond XD
09:34 IcyDiamond https://termbin.lunasqu.ee/5svt this is what i had
09:34 IcyDiamond didnt work out

10:01 * tenplus1 steals some raw honey for his coffee :D
10:03 VanessaE haha
10:05 tenplus1 lemmie know how it runs :) might add it to Xanadu and give players a chance at bee's :D
10:06 VanessaE it's ready?
10:06 VanessaE did you profile it? :)
10:06 VanessaE </nag>
10:06 tenplus1 lolol, ran the abm function 10,000 times to test
10:07 * VanessaE stages it to her servers
10:07 VanessaE hm, no one online
10:07 VanessaE guess I'll just deploy it.
10:07 tenplus1 monday morning... school and work sadly :P
10:07 VanessaE yeah

11:29 kolinstN joined #minetest-hub
12:16 * tenplus1 figured out how to double LUA execution speed
12:17 VanessaE load up luajit? ;)
12:17 tenplus1 nup, upgrade pc :D
12:17 VanessaE heh
12:17 VanessaE that works too, I guess :P
12:18 tenplus1 already use luajit... if only it would work across multiple cores
12:18 VanessaE yeah.
12:18 VanessaE or just give us Lua threads anyways.
12:19 tenplus1 mind you, if client mods worked and loaded said mods from server-side it would help
12:19 tenplus1 but I wouldnt trust it in current form
12:19 VanessaE at least then, f.ex, technic or biome_lib can shove their time-consuming code into another thread and not block the other mods.
12:20 VanessaE yeah, that could help, too, in limited cases.
12:21 tenplus1 lua definitely needs this though, limiting to 1 core can really be a pain
12:22 tenplus1 am wondering if when you get_node or find_node it scans through map cached in memory or reads from actual mapfile
12:22 tenplus1 if it already looks at the in-memory map, how come it's slow
12:23 VanessaE yeah, especially if you've already done everything you can to make the code run fast on one core, between optimizations and luajit..
12:23 VanessaE no idea.
12:23 tenplus1 reducing the bottlenecks to lua, especially in minetest would help a lot...

12:52 tenplus1 am going though c++ code and looking at how the map functions work
12:52 rubenwardy https://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/en/map/environment.html
12:53 tenplus1 getting node light still has to get the actual node, so why not return light level inside get_node(pos).light
12:53 rubenwardy It does

12:54 VanessaE heh
12:54 tenplus1 so when running an abm say for a street light, the 'node.param1' should already have light level ?

13:01 IcyDiamond So I don't need to work with IRC bots
13:01 tenplus1 :P
13:04 rubenwardy tenplus1: the value is constant
13:05 rubenwardy You need to get the upper and lower halves of the byte
13:05 tenplus1 stores light with and without sun
13:05 rubenwardy The upper half is night time
13:05 rubenwardy The lower half is day time
13:05 ANAND joined #minetest-hub
13:05 tenplus1 hi ANAND
13:05 rubenwardy This is part of the node data, get_light isn't. Get light is calculated from the node data
13:05 ANAND Hello :)
13:06 tenplus1 ohh, so I cant really do it with param1, I need to use get_light ?
13:06 rubenwardy The issue with including get light in get node is ambiguity
13:06 timdorohin joined #minetest-hub
13:06 tenplus1 hey tim
13:06 rubenwardy What do you read from when doing set node
13:06 timdorohin tenplus1: hi
13:08 tenplus1 ruben, huh ?
13:15 rubenwardy Rhetorical question
13:16 tenplus1 lol
13:16 rubenwardy If you did set node, and had contradicting values of light and param1, which one do you use?
13:16 tenplus1 you mean get_node ?

15:03 tenplus1 hi tumeni
15:03 tumeninodes hey 10+1
15:03 tumeninodes heh... maths
15:03 tenplus1 nuuuuuu, not on a monday
15:03 tumeninodes especially a groggy Monday
15:05 tenplus1 yeah, it doesnt feel like an exciting day...
15:05 tumeninodes the extent of my excitement today, is remembering wth I'm doing
15:06 tenplus1 am watching youtube vids while going through mod/minetest code
15:06 tenplus1 VanessaE: in biomes_lib, does stage 2 merely delete areaas to place new plantlife ???
15:06 tumeninodes See, that's my problem, I get too caught up in the tubes and forget I'm working on stuff :P
15:07 * tenplus1 has browser on right, mousepad on left containing code :D
15:07 tumeninodes cheat
15:07 tenplus1 VanessaE: I have a way to improve area generation
15:07 tenplus1 ehehe, HD monitors are handy things to have :D
15:08 tumeninodes I just use a bigass lcd tv
15:08 tumeninodes too lazy for dual set up
15:08 tenplus1 heh, it's all down to whats comfortable for you :)   my 24" monitor suits me fine
15:08 tumeninodes 42"
15:09 tenplus1 :P
15:09 tumeninodes wall mount to adjust so I don't have to labor the burden of head or max eye movements :D
15:10 tenplus1 nice :)
15:12 tumeninodes I can't multi-task when working on code
15:12 tenplus1 background noise kinda helps here
15:14 tumeninodes sirens? 0_o
15:14 tenplus1 lol, mostly youtube :D
15:14 tenplus1 either music or tutorial.help vid
15:15 tumeninodes there are some really dark places on youtube. I've toured a few
15:15 tumeninodes hahaha I did 3 tours in youtube = vet
15:16 tumeninodes ptytd
15:16 tenplus1 lol, "Daz Games" and "SandMan" are the latest vids
15:16 tumeninodes trendys
15:17 tenplus1 oh wow, biomes_lib changes really do work
15:17 tumeninodes the changes you just worked on?
15:18 tenplus1 just simple tweaks, but it's increased generation speed
15:18 tenplus1 even on my crappy net-top
15:18 tumeninodes nice
15:20 tumeninodes did you try it using all avail mods that use biomes_lib?
15:22 tenplus1 I installed plantlife pack... then just walked around and it generates quicker than I can walk to the next chunk :D
15:22 tenplus1 before it would lag and I'd have to wait for the map to load
15:23 tumeninodes nice job
15:24 tumeninodes ?? do any of our avail searches allow finding mods which depend on aanother mod/library?
15:24 ShadowBot tumeninodes: Error: You must be registered to use this command. If you are already registered, you must either identify (using the identify command) or add a hostmask matching your current hostmask (using the "hostmask add" command).
15:25 tumeninodes you know what Shadowbot?
15:25 tumeninodes talk to the hand
15:26 tenplus1 ahaha
15:26 tumeninodes someone needs to create a bot named Jarvis
15:27 tenplus1 !jarvis - coffee, black, 1 suger
15:27 tenplus1 aww
15:27 tumeninodes would be nice to be able to type in, say "biomes_lib" and it will also show which mods list it as a dep
15:28 tenplus1 just need to go through mods tab to show that :D
15:28 tumeninodes haha no coffee 4 u
15:30 tumeninodes wha? which mods tab, where. you mean in main menu? or online
15:30 tumeninodes why am I confused
15:30 tenplus1 main menu, click mod, look at dependencies :) and I tend to group them all inside plantlife modpack so I know :D
15:31 tumeninodes right but, if you want to find out all the mods which depend on biomes_lib, that is what I mean
15:32 tenplus1 a command to list them all
15:32 tumeninodes yerp
15:34 tumeninodes I think that would be a good idea, for libraries anyway
15:35 tumeninodes brb, have to go check on the elderly :P

17:23 Shara Why does MTG berry bush PR keep needing to be complicated?
17:23 tenplus1 lol
17:23 tenplus1 o/ shara
17:24 Shara This is why I made up new types of berry for my game.
17:25 rubenwardy PHP is a very bad template system
17:25 Shara No one can tell me they are the wrong size/colour/distance up a mountain/taste
17:26 tenplus1 the Huckleberry pull was fine in itself, then it somehow turns into a huge blueberry bush that's oversized
17:26 Shara I was fine with huckleberry to be honest
17:27 tenplus1 paramat suggested he was fine with blueberry/bilberry and it instantly changed
17:30 * tumeninodes suddenly reconsiders the two PRs I was thinking of doing XP
17:30 Calinou using PHP templates directly is uncommon these days, you just use Twig/Blade or similar
17:31 tenplus1 made up bushes were the better idea Shara
17:31 Shara Doubt anyone would support that for MTG though :P
17:32 tumeninodes you can't eat pretend berries... you'll pretend starve
17:32 tenplus1 lol
17:32 Shara More like you'd actually starve, if you did it in the actual world :P
17:33 Shara whereas in the pretend world they're real :P
17:33 tumeninodes well, all I know is, my kid made me pretend cupcakes once when he was little... and they were horrible
17:33 Shara So you won't actually pretend starve in the pretend world, unless you pretend to pretend starve while actually you are fine :P

17:34 longerstaff13 mmm doughnut
17:34 tenplus1 donut with choccy sprinkes and custard inside :D
17:34 tumeninodes see, longerstaff pretends too
17:35 longerstaff13 ?

17:46 IcyDiamond paramat: oh, so i need to register floor and ceiling separately?
17:46 IcyDiamond must've missed that line
17:46 tenplus1 good to know paramat, any chance of decorations on walls happening ?
17:47 tumeninodes like creeping vines?
17:47 tenplus1 yup
17:47 tumeninodes not a chance
17:47 tumeninodes XD
17:47 tenplus1 aww
17:47 tumeninodes seriously though, creeping vines and wall roses would be pretty nice
17:49 tumeninodes notice I don't do anything related to improving performance, I just like to add to the load
17:50 paramat yes for unaligned, use separate decoration registrations
17:50 paramat wall decos ... 'ahahaha'
17:51 tumeninodes probably better just done, added to an existing plant mod though, cuz it requires abm

17:57 Shara But probably not for MTG :P

17:58 tenplus1 wb fussel
17:58 IhrFussel Thanks and hi =)
17:58 tumeninodes sounds good to me
17:58 Shara I'd really like wall plants that handle themselves nicely around corners Just not sure of the best way to do it yet
18:00 tumeninodes a plethora of textures
18:01 tumeninodes gotta step afk again for a few
18:05 lumberJ left #minetest-hub
18:16 IcyDiamond can i make a node that clings to walls of any node, kind of like fire but without the flowerlike part when on the surface
18:17 rubenwardy flowerlike part?
18:17 IcyDiamond can i just use connected nodebox type and connect to all nodes?
18:17 IcyDiamond but how would i then exclude the node itself
18:19 IcyDiamond http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130107042151/thaumcraft-3/images/8/85/Portableholeaction.png this is how thaumcraft's portable hole thing looks like
18:19 IcyDiamond is there any way to do that in minetest? the sides of the nodes appear different
18:19 IcyDiamond dont need particles
18:19 tenplus1 make it connected glasslike
18:19 tenplus1 but not walkable
18:21 IcyDiamond uh, how would that work
18:22 IcyDiamond well it kind of works, except that the entry and exit are blocked too
18:24 IcyDiamond i guess its impossible
18:25 IcyDiamond all i can think of is to create nodes for each of the different possible configurations..
18:25 IcyDiamond jfc
18:25 tenplus1 glasslike would make a border around the gap, but still let you walk through

18:29 IcyDiamond it's so close to what i want
18:29 IcyDiamond XD
18:29 tenplus1 that looks pretty kewl dude :D
18:30 IcyDiamond SO close
18:31 IcyDiamond I want the faces that dont have a node behind them to stay blank
18:31 IcyDiamond but i guess thats impossible
18:31 tenplus1 make it a water node that dfoesnt flow, like the quicksand I have in ethereal
18:32 tenplus1 when inside it looks like that
18:32 tenplus1 and you can float through it :D
18:34 ssieb joined #minetest-hub
18:34 tenplus1 hi ssieb
18:34 IcyDiamond uh nope
18:34 IcyDiamond plus it waves
18:34 IcyDiamond XD
18:34 tenplus1 it's a portal afterall :D
18:34 IcyDiamond eh not really
18:35 tenplus1 lol
18:35 IcyDiamond guess ill have to stick with glasslike until i figure smth better out
18:35 IcyDiamond XD
18:36 IcyDiamond idk how one would call this drawtype so i cant even make a feature request
18:37 IcyDiamond then again, paramat will probably close it in a few days
18:37 IcyDiamond so why bother
18:37 tenplus1 :P
18:37 IcyDiamond i mean, it could also be used for vines and stuff..
18:37 IcyDiamond kind of
18:38 IcyDiamond eh idk
18:39 rdococ I want to create a simple platforming game about economics
18:40 tenplus1 how would that work ?
18:46 paramat lol
18:48 paramat connected nodebox might work, without the centre part
18:48 paramat hm but then, 'connects to' needs to be everything
18:50 tenplus1 unless you make an entity the same size as the nodes removed and walk through it :D
18:50 tenplus1 that way it's the right size, colour, solid walls, can walk through etc ?

19:56 MinetestBot tumeninodes: add glass and obsidian glass slabs by TumeniNodes · Pull Request #2226 · minetest/minetest_game · GitHub
19:56 tumeninodes no need to bow, mortals.
20:05 paramat hm
20:05 paramat maybe stairs too is a good idea
20:05 tumeninodes I have to test how they look with the new slab textures
20:06 tumeninodes please hold
20:09 paramat i see. the stairs may have to use the normal glass textures
20:10 paramat the glass slab textures should be in the stairs mod as they are only used there
20:11 tumeninodes You know, I had them in a new texture folder in the stairs mod, then I thought, "nope, paramat will want them in default" :P
20:11 tumeninodes glass stairs look horrible with normal glass textures
20:12 tumeninodes they look fine with the new slab textures but the two others, inner and outer..., not so fine
20:13 tumeninodes https://imgur.com/a/py5WevR
20:14 tumeninodes brb, need to take a phone call
20:20 rud0lf joined #minetest-hub
20:20 paramat yes thinking about it, normal glass textures will look bad
20:20 Shara Special side textures would probably be needed
20:23 paramat inner and outer look reasonable to me. but it's possible to make dedicated textures for certain stair types
20:33 tumeninodes would definitely require specific textures. The inner do not look too bad, it's the outer which would require (I think) at least two additional textures... for the front and side of the smaller, upper bit
20:33 tumeninodes I can play around with them, and move the new textures into the stair mod, itself
20:34 paramat well let's be restrained. after all we have certain textures that are imperfect in stair form, like stone blocks
20:35 tumeninodes another thing to thin about (could be done with this PR or with another later) the glass_detail.png for both glass nodes are not required, as they are not even used anymore.
20:36 tumeninodes obsidian glass uses none, and glass has the detail on the texture itself but, as I said, just another part of glass to think about
20:37 tumeninodes Yeh, I agree on your last comment paramat, also remember, when the inner and outer are place upside down, that would require another two more each. : /  definitely overkill
20:39 tumeninodes the idea of this was just to add glass slabs, which could be used to make makeshift stairs, as some do. I would be ok if there were a way I could add just "stairs" and leave the inner outer... out but, the way they were coded in, kinda makes that undoable
20:39 paramat maybe first apply the glass slab textures to stairs in the PR, then we can test and see how it looks in-game, and take it from there
20:40 paramat people will want all stair types in glass
20:40 tumeninodes yep I can do that quick. The names will be switched to stairs_glass_slab.png, etc.
20:41 tumeninodes yeh, most likely they will
20:41 tumeninodes so to be clear, before I do it, do you want stairs added into the code as well, or leave it as just slabs for now?
20:42 paramat slabs and all stairs. and all using the glass slab textures
20:42 tumeninodes ok, coming up
20:42 Ruslan1 joined #minetest-hub
20:42 paramat anyway good PR, will support
20:43 tumeninodes thank you
20:52 Shara I support adding slabs, stairs depends how they look.
20:53 xerox123_ Yay! https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Wfvnry4QVh
21:00 tumeninodes uh oh... well anyway, changes are in
21:03 tumeninodes huh, that's weird. I never noticed that github does not show that a new folder was added.
21:04 paramat the 'inner' might look best using the normal glass textures, don't change anyhting yet, just a thought to test
21:04 paramat *anything
21:04 paramat i'll try that when i test
21:04 tumeninodes meaning in the information about files changed in a commit. It just states files were renamed with no changes
21:06 tumeninodes yeh, you will need to use all 6 slots for textures then, that upper half of the node will still only pick up 1/2 across the texture though. Now, if there were another texture for each with another 2pixels wide going vertically... maybe that would do for both normal and uppy eyes down placement. not sure
21:07 paramat initial code looks ok will test soon
21:07 tumeninodes Though, doing so, will impact the slabs : /
21:07 tumeninodes ok, I have to step out for a bit. bbs
21:09 tumeninodes doh, forgot indents are off when using text editor I need to use 2 tabs, will fix when I get back
21:11 paramat no rush could be done on a later PR update
21:13 rud0lf i made a snippet (not a full mod), where can i post it?
21:13 rud0lf can't find place at forum
21:13 rud0lf it measures and/or cuts text in formspec to specified size

22:43 tumeninodes Shara: possible to add in some code to remove boats after a specified amount of time, of being left, on the server.
22:48 tumeninodes hm, connected glass should work for glass stairs as well... looking into it
22:49 paramat i doubt that's possible
22:50 tumeninodes https://imgur.com/a/3wsC509 too bad, it would make a world of difference when turned on in settings
22:51 Shara tumeninodes: not that it would be worth adding

23:14 TommyTreasure is the github site still the current site for mesecons, or has it moved?
23:17 tumeninodes I think it's still under github, in minetest mods
23:18 TommyTreasure thanks.  all of a sudden, getting server crashes that seem to be related to either mesecons and/or pipeworks
23:18 tumeninodes https://github.com/minetest-mods/mesecons
23:19 tumeninodes https://github.com/minetest-mods/pipeworks
23:19 tumeninodes have fun ; P
23:19 TommyTreasure pipeworks has moved to gitlab
23:19 tumeninodes what?!
23:20 tumeninodes oh wait... Yes I think Vanessa did that
23:20 tumeninodes not sure if they're synced up
23:20 TommyTreasure https://gitlab.com/VanessaE/pipeworks/
23:21 TommyTreasure but, since you're here.  i watched a video by richard jeffries, and it had a water feature.  was that your work?  trying to find the episode where i saw it
23:22 tumeninodes oh... yeh it's just a quick code. can be used alone as it's own mod or added into another mod
23:22 TommyTreasure ah, that's why its not in your repo  :)
23:22 tumeninodes hold on a sec
23:22 TommyTreasure that was a water node as a 'slab' style node, right?
23:23 tumeninodes https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=47&amp;t=20211&amp;hilit=water+feature
23:23 TommyTreasure kewel, and ty.  i think Shara would be interested in that too
23:23 tumeninodes she hates all my stuff..., she's so mean
23:23 tumeninodes :D
23:24 TommyTreasure lol
23:24 TommyTreasure i've got a few of yours on my server too.  if it wasn't infringing on your nick, i'd call my server tumenimods
23:25 tumeninodes haha... thanks
23:26 tumeninodes I'm infringed upon all the time and I barely ever notice
23:26 TommyTreasure somehow, i think 'lagworld' fits mine perfectly
23:26 tumeninodes hahaha
23:27 tumeninodes I think LagTest was mentioned as a name idea once
23:27 TommyTreasure 'Lag World' is actually the name of it
23:27 tumeninodes bahahahaha
23:28 TommyTreasure one player asked if i was trying to get into the Guinness world records for installed mods
23:28 tumeninodes at least you can't be accused of being misleading
23:29 tumeninodes is that a thing?? 0_0  someone should call Guinness and find out XP
23:30 tumeninodes could stick that right up wikipedia's.... 0_0
23:30 rubenwardy what name did you use before your current name, tumeninodes?
23:31 rubenwardy because it was changed at one point
23:31 tumeninodes me?
23:31 rubenwardy yeah
23:31 tumeninodes The Great One
23:31 tumeninodes :D
23:31 tumeninodes after Jackie Gleason, but I realized it was too obnoxious
23:31 rubenwardy ah right
23:32 tumeninodes even though it's true haha
23:34 TommyTreasure fwiw: updating both mesecons and pipeworks seems to have stopped the crash issue
23:34 tumeninodes Oooo, while I have you here... can a function be added, so when a one searches biome_lib, or other libraries, they can see a list of all the mods which use it?
23:35 tumeninodes glad it was an easy fix
