03:34 LoneWolfHT     Would I run into issues if I made a mod that gets/sets player meta by accessing the player db during runtime?
04:12 MTDiscord      <Jordach> well yes but actually yes
15:30 MTDiscord      <appguru> It would probably not work if you are using SQLite; that holds an exclusive lock. Using Postgres you would most likely get some fine data corruption.
15:40 BuckarooBanzai LoneWolfHT: if the player is online then your data would be deleted on the next update from the engine, see: sqlite: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/src/database/database-sqlite3.cpp#L485-L491 postgres: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/src/database/database-postgresql.cpp#L525
15:41 BuckarooBanzai if the player is offline then there should be no problems (done this a few times already)
15:43 BuckarooBanzai also: you _can_ write with multiple threads/processes into a sqlite database, but in the minetest-case you should take care that the statements don't take too much time otherwise it stalls the main-loop
15:43 LoneWolfHT     I could have the mod use the normal method if the player is online
15:43 LoneWolfHT     Alrighty then, kewl
15:56 MTDiscord      <appguru> Still, you're probably using SQLite, and I'm pretty sure that holds a lock on the DB file.

22:31 MTDiscord      <luk3yx> @wwar, Abuzer of Bugz You said there were only 6 in-game players right?
22:31 MTDiscord      <wwar> Indeed
22:31 MTDiscord      <wwar> Im in game i can send a screenshot to the status
22:32 luk3yx         I've watched that player list for >5 minutes and I haven't seen the player count change at all
22:32 MTDiscord      <wwar> 4 online now

22:32 MTDiscord      <wwar> I did too
22:34 MTDiscord      <wwar> In server list it:

22:36 MTDiscord      <wwar> Also it has creative logo in server list but it isnt..
22:47 luk3yx         Apparently it's shut down, perhaps whoever runs it is lurking here
22:47 luk3yx         Maybe I should have sent that report in a PM instead
22:47 sfan5          when I saw that earlier I assumed it was just the "no rules, hacked clients allowed" in action but didn't bother to check
22:48 MTDiscord      <wwar> I bothered to check because it was empty last days, so weird when it get that amount in one day
