02:25 GreenDimond rubenwardy: Sepulveda Dam in LA
02:25 rubenwardy thanks

02:58 ANAND Is it possible to overlay an image over an inventorycube?
02:59 VanessaE well, the function returns a string, so maybe?
03:00 ANAND Doesn't work by just adding "^image2.png", because inventorycube uses a different set of escape chars
03:00 VanessaE try enclosing the function's string in ( parens ) maybe?
03:00 rubenwardy try grouping?
03:00 rubenwardy ^^
03:00 VanessaE ninja'd :)
03:01 ANAND Hm.. ok :)
03:01 ANAND I should enclose the inventorycube part within the () right?
03:02 luk3yx Couldn't you do inventorycube(...) .. '^test.png'?
03:02 ANAND Won't work
03:02 ANAND https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/4d4bfb12515cbd8f260f27951d5247676e0ba1b4/doc/lua_api.txt#L521
03:03 ANAND Trying grouping now
03:03 luk3yx That's in the inventorycube itself.
03:04 ANAND Well, I tried appending "^image2.png"
03:04 ANAND Did not work
03:04 luk3yx Weird.
03:04 rubenwardy "(" ..  inventorycube(...) .. ')^test.png'
03:05 ANAND Ah, ok

13:14 tenplus1 :P
13:35 calcul0n joined #minetest-hub
13:58 tenplus1 they registered separate vertical slabs
13:58 tenplus1 unlike mt's that can rotate
13:59 twoelk ah
13:59 tenplus1 and they just got the ability to add new mob entities instead of using current one's with different skins
14:00 twoelk maybe if we make a long enough list we can prove that mc is by now a mt clone
14:00 tenplus1 hahaha
14:01 twoelk wasn't jungle the first thing they got after mt?
14:04 tenplus1 still prefer mt though :P more fun to play with
14:12 calcul0n it's hard to say but these new bamboo biomes look really good
14:12 tenplus1 if biomes were easier to work with in mt I'd incorporate the ethereal one's into default v7 one's
14:16 twoelk if to be included, the bamboo biome might need some adjusting and above all some binding into some mtg uses
14:17 tenplus1 bamboo is a very versatile material :D
14:18 twoelk well, might need some integrating into general gameplay
14:18 tenplus1 it'll still be within ethereal mod itself, just better biomeintegration instead of replacement
14:18 twoelk on Xanadu I find it a rather pleasantg biome for relaxing
14:18 tenplus1 :P
14:19 twoelk oh? what does it replace?
14:19 tenplus1 until someone comes along with a molotov cocktail
14:19 tenplus1 ethereal cleares existing v7 biomes and decoration and makes its own
14:20 twoelk havn't tried lately but I remember planting stuff in bamboo biomes somewhat difficult
14:20 tenplus1 in ethereal certain saplings will only grow in it's own biome (on it's own dirt type)
14:20 tenplus1 to force them to grow elsewhere you need bonemeal :)
14:20 twoelk something like that
14:21 tenplus1 crops on the other hand work everywhere
14:22 twoelk yeah, getting wood in bamboo biome was difficult on the old Xanadu map iirc
14:23 tenplus1 hrm, good point... I could make a 2x2 bamboo for bamboo floors and have the 3x3 give a bamboo block
14:23 twoelk but my base was on the border of bamboo to shroomland so regular trees where farther off
14:23 tenplus1 which comes under group:wood
14:24 rdococ hmm, are there any text-based games that allow you to define commands like procedures?
14:24 bwarden joined #minetest-hub
14:25 tenplus1 hi rdococ and bwarden
14:25 rdococ hi
14:26 rdococ to open door, you would have to try to "push it"; if it doesn't work, you would try to "pull it" instead
14:27 twoelk don't know wether every biome should be able to supply basic materials to survive.  --- hm, maybe desert-like biomes shouldn't while all others do.
14:28 tenplus1 I'll add the above bamboo crafts to give wood, that'll help
14:28 twoelk I would count oceans and treeless snowlands as desert-like
14:32 paramat joined #minetest-hub
14:32 tenplus1 o/ paramat
14:32 paramat tenplus it should be quite easy to add a biome to MTG's biomes
14:33 tenplus1 it's easy to guestimate the numbers paramat, but I'd rather have an image showing spread
14:33 * twoelk prics up ears for mtg-biome secrets
14:33 paramat clear, reregister with shifted biome points, with points remaining evenly spaced on the voronoi diagram
14:34 tenplus1 is this a new 5.0 feature ?
14:34 paramat the voronoi diagram is a good indicator of distribution, otherwise you can just map a world to test
14:34 twoelk where would bamboo go?, Jungle-moist but higher altitude?
14:35 paramat no not a 5.0 feature
14:36 paramat current biome system diagram is shown here https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=15939
14:36 twoelk btw, why evenly placed? shouldn't some be rarer than others?
14:37 tenplus1 that's what I did with ethereal and it's real harder to find crystal and grey/willow biomes
14:38 tenplus1 twoelk: 2x2 bamboo = bamboo floor, 2x bamboo or 9x bamboo = bamboo block, blocks made stairs and are group:wood so can be made into sticks
14:38 tenplus1 hows that ?
14:39 twoelk oops, now I got to visit Xanadu again
14:39 paramat anyway, the biome system is easy to work with :) if in doubt, ask me
14:40 paramat well, evenly spaced only if you want equal areas of biomes
14:40 tenplus1 lol twoelk, it's not updated yet, just added it just now
14:41 paramat in the mapgen questions thread i give instructions how to use a geometry program to create realtime voronoi diagrams from movable points, if you want to do it precisely
14:42 tenplus1 will check it out again, kept crashing myt browser last time
14:42 twoelk I did visit my bambooandjungle isle lately ...  just can't get me to replace the natural beauty with buildings
14:44 tenplus1 build into the landscape :D
14:44 twoelk with all them new buildings near by there is not that much natural landscape left at that place
14:44 paramat and there's amidst https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=20101
14:46 tenplus1 uses java, refuse to install that
14:46 twoelk tsstss
14:47 tenplus1 same with adobe flash, it'll never grace my Os
14:48 twoelk put it into a container of some sort
14:48 twoelk (not the wastebin type)
14:48 tenplus1 lol, maybe sometime... too much on atm
14:51 twoelk btw, there are buildings at my bambooandjungle isle -- under the landscape
14:51 twoelk actually my oldest base on newXanadu
14:51 tenplus1 islands are kewl, I've buried a few chests on some filled with treature for players to find :D
14:52 twoelk cool
14:52 twoelk looting seems a favorite pasttime with current gamers
14:53 paramat ah java. anyway doing it manually is fairly easy
14:53 twoelk hope that doesn't spill too much into real-life
14:54 twoelk amidst manually? I'm impressed :-P
14:58 tenplus1 Ethereal NG updated with new bamboo recipe changes and block added

15:28 DI3HARD139 joined #minetest-hub
15:29 tenplus1 hi DI3HARD139
15:30 tenplus1 :P
15:31 DI3HARD139 Hello tenplus1
15:31 tenplus1 o/
15:32 tenplus1 lotta ppl have vertigo maybe
15:33 DI3HARD139 If breaking things with high voltage is what your looking for in an 'electrician' then I'm your guy!
15:34 DI3HARD139 I've got a nice history of popping caps for fun.
15:34 twoelk had some nice holes burnt into my carpet as kid doing experiments
15:35 twoelk that mega powerfull electromagnet was quite a show - for the whole neighbourhood
15:36 DI3HARD139 The very day I learned vehicles operate on 12v DC was when I wired a ham radio to a 125v receptacle.
15:36 DI3HARD139 oddly enough. It didn't do anything aside from trip the breaker.
15:36 twoelk although I learnt a lot later how to do realy destructive magnets - and with all them devices around that would cause a lot more havoc nowadays
15:39 DI3HARD139 Sounds like when I got a blown old school kicker 18. To this day, its still attached to the side of a computer chassis.
15:40 DI3HARD139 Good ole days
15:42 twoelk the first really usefull electric stuff I built was a portable door-alarm.  stopped a lot of tricks from schoolmates when travelling on school outings
15:45 twoelk the other device I was really proud of as a kid was an electrical rocket engine igniter I designed - that thing was cool
15:46 twoelk and wether they exploded or launched as planned - the rocket's where always fun
15:47 twoelk mind that we never baught sets, everything was self designed and built

16:00 Jordach joined #minetest-hub
16:00 tenplus1 hi Jordach
17:27 rubenwardy Are there any stats that people would like us to gather at live?
17:28 rubenwardy Fixer ^
17:28 rubenwardy The freenode conference
17:28 Fixer rubenwardy: wat?
17:28 rubenwardy You asked last year, after the event
17:29 rubenwardy It think it was about the number of people we talked to
17:29 rubenwardy Tbh, cba
17:29 sofar asl
17:29 tenplus1 favourite donut
17:29 sofar cats, or dogs?
17:29 tenplus1 socks or crocs
17:30 sofar "3 things MT could be better at"
17:30 tenplus1 top 5 blocks
17:44 twoelk some info on what type of people attend might be usefull - such like more programer typ or players, or teachers or ...
17:44 tenplus1 true
17:46 * twoelk tries to mark the event in his calender
17:47 twoelk oh dear, need to make sure I can connect to some network at the time ...  hmm
17:48 Shara Well, it's an opensource software conference, not an MT or even a game conference, so some people may be neither
17:48 Shara but generally people who might be interested in open source things may be there
17:49 ssieb joined #minetest-hub
17:49 tenplus1 o/
17:50 twoelk hmm, nobody from mt on the talk list?
17:51 Shara No, though if it runs again next year I might consider volunteer
17:51 * tenplus1 votes shara to talk :)
17:51 Shara volunterring*
17:51 Shara It probably wouldn't be about MT if I did a talk though
17:51 tenplus1 :PPP
17:51 twoelk no? server ethics maybe?
17:52 Shara though if soeone else wants to come along to help.... :P
17:52 Shara someone* (standing up typing in between packing so... expect mistakes :D)
17:53 Shara server ethics? You mean something like "Technicques on Extending the Reach of your Ban Hammer"?
17:53 tenplus1 mwhehehe
17:54 twoelk indeed user moderating mechanics might be something universally interesting
17:55 Shara Well, I'd go another route most likely
17:58 twoelk how new laws apply to server based communities might indeed be an interesting subject
17:59 Shara sure, but you'd need a good legal professional for that ... there's a lot of laws and they differ between countries
18:01 twoelk freenode should have it's share of professionals in the legal sector by now :-P

18:21 Fixer rubenwardy: please add a big poster with that cat with big eyes asking for contributors and ask what is missing/wrong in/with this fucking minetest_game (and engine)
18:21 Shara What is missing in minetest game...
18:21 Shara ..a  game
18:21 Shara :P
18:27 tenplus1 lolol
19:11 twoelk left #minetest-hub
19:12 * tenplus1 creates a new mt game called [imagination] ... has everything you can think of
19:14 Shara Add all the mods?
19:14 tenplus1 :P
19:29 * BillyS thinks of remote-controlled nuclear missiles with a 250 node radius crater
19:30 tenplus1 damn, that'dmake an interesting mod :D
19:34 tenplus1 left #minetest-hub
19:36 * luk3yx thinks of a doomsday machine capable of nuking a server in less than a day
