03:01 VanessaE ping?
03:01 MTDiscord <Jonathon> pong?
03:01 VanessaE ok so this chan works..
03:02 VanessaE [02-25 15:42] * #minetest ##overflow :Forwarding to another channel
03:02 VanessaE but it doesn't say what "another" is
03:02 VanessaE surely not here?
03:04 VanessaE ok now it works.
03:07 MTDiscord <Jonathon> sounds good
03:38 VanessaE Is there a way to change the look of the pause menu, without those changes also affecting everything else in the game?
03:38 VanessaE specifically I want to turn off the screen darkening everywhere, which is easy, except I want to leave it enabled on the pause menu
03:47 MTDiscord <Jonathon> you would have to set no prepends on everything and then set a prepend image
03:49 VanessaE mmh
03:49 MTDiscord <Warr1024> If you set no prepends then you'll just use whatever the pause menu has by default.  I imagine you'd set the prepend to whatever you want the pause menu to have, and then override it in EVERY formspec everywhere else.
03:49 VanessaE so basically what I've already been doing (though not using prepends but other ways)
03:50 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Presumably you could do a DIY post-pre-pend by intercepting the formspec send API and patching in your own string...
03:50 VanessaE (Warr1024)
03:50 VanessaE THAT would require an engine change would it not?
03:50 VanessaE I mean, many formspecs are just node meta.
03:51 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Oh, hmm, that could be tricky, yeah
03:51 VanessaE yeah, so that's out.
03:51 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I've hacked up the Lua API a lot, but not that paritcular area
03:51 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I suppose maybe hacking up node meta might not be any more complex than hacking up player inventories...?
03:51 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Probably possible but not easy

16:12 MTDiscord <Jordach> pause menu
16:16 MTDiscord <Jordach> with my game i entirely tore out the existing auth, ban systems
16:17 MTDiscord <Jordach> including a huge portion of builtin with custom overrides
