00:00 paramat      ok i'll have a think about your points
00:01 paramat      since you're using mgflat (which has no water) with no caves and no dungeons, you only need to set the mapgen alias for "mapgen_stone"
00:01 paramat      https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/12e3d3d12f919a141f5032645d03bda2ad4489f5/doc/lua_api.txt#L289
00:02 paramat      i'll try out your game and see what i can do
00:02 paramat      i love the concept
00:07 benrob0329   paramat: have you read the SCP that it's based on?
00:20 paramat      nope, but just found it searching the web
00:23 paramat      LOL great idea, perfect for MT
00:44 paramat      got it working ...
00:47 paramat      delete all the mapgen alias setting lines except "mapgen_stone", for some reason that fixes it. setting aliases to air must cause a bug somehow
00:48 benrob0329   paramat: will test, thanks
00:48 paramat      but also: make sure the biome has y_max and y_min defined, those should not be left out, even though they are possibly not essential
00:48 paramat      heat point should be 50, that's the mid value for heat
00:52 paramat      'minetest.register_on_mapgen_init()' is deprecated. 'nolakes' and 'nohills' are not global mapgen params so can't be set there, they are mapgen specific flags, no lakes or hills is the default so those can be left out. so use 'minetest.set_mapgen_params({mgname = "flat", flags = "nocaves, nodungeons"})'
00:52 paramat      nice racks (oo-er)
00:55 paramat      if a game blocks mgv6 (recommended) and uses biome-defined cave liquids / dungeon nodes (recommended), then the only mapgen aliases that need setting are: stone, water, river water
00:57 paramat      these aren't game specific, although they have names like 'stone' and 'water' they are actually abstract nodes for 'solid' 'liquid' 'river liquid'. and yes, even if replaced by biome nodes these do need to be registered in a game, that's just how it works
00:57 benrob0329   paramat: I see, thanks
00:58 paramat      oh also, 'mapgen:filler' is a confusing name because it is confused with biome 'filler' nodes. 'solid' or 'terrain' or something like that is better
00:59 paramat      anyway that's all for now
01:01 paramat      except, my super minimal game might be a useful reference for what a game needs to function https://github.com/paramat/kuutiopeli
01:02 paramat      maybe 'sub-minimal' is a better phrase =)
01:07 benrob0329   paramat: migth be good to add it to the wiki
01:31 BillyS       I've heard that playeranim got an update and supports swimming animations, but I can't find the link.  Is that true?
03:45 benrob0329   paramat: is there a way to get schematics to spawn either in rows, or only once per mapblock, or every Nth block?
03:45 benrob0329   I'm trying to get the racks into rows, and a be less chaotic
03:46 benrob0329   I've managed to get them to not spawn into each other with a schematic, but I get the feeling that a mapblock-sized schematic will just write over itself
03:47 benrob0329   *to get each rack individually not to spawn so that the models collide
03:57 benrob0329   my current progress on making it more rack-like is pushed to git
05:13 paramat      i was away for a while, will think and respond later
11:06 * rubenwardy just had his dissertation defence
11:07 Fuchs        congratulations, I assume all went well?
11:10 rubenwardy   yeah
11:10 rubenwardy   it was supposed to be 15 minutes, but lasted 40
11:10 rubenwardy   turns out the maker is very enthusiastic
11:14 Fuchs        /sanick rubenwardy dr-rubenwardy
11:14 Fuchs        well, congratulations \o/
11:16 rubenwardy   lol, only a masters
11:21 Fuchs        ah, you also call these dissertation defence, okay, these are just defence, here. Anyway, still congratulations
18:40 Fixer        now defend minetest game!
18:41 rubenwardy   not possible
18:43 sfan5        defend minetest game against what? there's no competitor
18:44 Fixer        against itself :(
18:46 Krock        *confused warrior noises*
18:52 BillyS       s/warrior/duck/
18:52 BillyS       :P
18:56 Krock        quack?
19:06 BillyS       hehe
19:31 Fixer        c y b e r q u a c k
23:28 paramat      benrob0329 > "paramat: is there a way to get schematics to spawn either in rows, or only once per mapblock, or every Nth block?" not using the decoration API. you can use a lua voxelmanip in 'register on generated' and use 'place schematic on vmanip', then you can place them wherever you want
