01:41 LazyJ VanessaE, I just noticed that a lot of the mod items aren't showing up in the inventory screen on your server.
01:41 LazyJ Is there a limit to Unified Inventory's capacity?
01:42 LazyJ Or is something conflicting with the bump-up from 4096 (items?)?

02:01 oxenfreedan does anyone here use fedora linux?
02:01 oxenfreedan or mint?
02:01 oxenfreedan or even both?
02:01 nalkri I don't know.
02:06 VanessaE LazyJ: what items?
02:07 Exio4 hi
02:07 VanessaE LazyJ: if you mean things like stained glass, colored wood, unified bricks, etc., I took them out of the inventory to reduce the clutter.  Use sokomine's paint booth object to obtain them.
02:12 LazyJ Ah, thanks.
02:14 LazyJ Did you have to go through each item's code and hide it from inventory or were you able to use an easier method?
02:21 arsdragonfly joined #minetest
02:28 Exio4 VanessaE: do you have some spare 450USD? :D
02:28 VanessaE not even.
02:28 Exio4 ;P
02:28 VanessaE LazyJ: I altered each of the mods
02:28 VanessaE I only did that with those mods that add large numbers of colored nodes.
02:29 djcyberslash joined #minetest
02:29 frogcrush joined #minetest
02:31 LazyJ VanessaE, that's a big undertaking.
02:31 VanessaE eh, it was easy
02:31 VanessaE took me all of 10 mins or so
02:32 LazyJ I just went through several our mods blocking somethings from inventory, fixing recipes for others so they would show in the craft guide.
02:32 LazyJ My head hurt from staring at all the code. :p
02:33 LazyJ During that process I had to create aliases for wood and cobble.
02:34 LazyJ The default mod's init uses "group:wood" and "group:stone" for chests and tool recipes but that fubared in the craft guide.
02:35 LazyJ Why the shift from default:wood/cobble to group:wood/stone ?
02:35 NekoGloop for mod-added wood/stone
02:36 VanessaE so that any random wood could, for example, make a fence or sticks or wnatever
02:37 LazyJ So does that mean RBA needs to update Unified Inventory to accept group:material-type?
02:37 VanessaE dunno
02:37 VanessaE ask him :)
02:37 VanessaE (probably, not)
02:38 * khonkhortisan puts a kitten on MinetestBot's head - Argooon didn't want it
02:39 LazyJ mhm... will do when time-zones work-out. ;)
02:40 Exio4 i need about 5500 ARS (1100~ USD) for what i want :(

06:55 Taoki[mobile] :)
06:55 Taoki[mobile] It says that on my nixk?
06:55 Taoki[mobile] Nick i mean

07:34 PenguinDad Taoki[mobile] you are using AndroIRC
07:41 kahrl Hey guys. I'm sorry I haven't been very active lately. I'm in sort of an existential crisis
07:43 VanessaE kahrl: what's wrong
07:43 VanessaE ?
07:43 kahrl I think I found a problem in the proof of the Futurama Theorem
07:43 kahrl it doesn't work when you choose i = k
07:44 VanessaE oooookay then
07:45 * VanessaE sucks at math :P
07:54 LazyJ VanessaE, your server doesn't have a fraction of the lag (or the perception of lag) ours does, yet you have a tremendous amount of mods. Does that reduce the possible causes to the server hosting service? I have a hefty cpu and cable Internet and still get a lot of snap-back while ingame. :/
07:55 VanessaE most of the lag you'll get from a server comes down to three things:  anti-cheat (I disabled it), mods that hook into the mapgen (like moretrees or, say, snow mod or so), and network latency (can't do much about that)
07:56 VanessaE since most of the interesting parts of the map (i.e. with about 3km of the spawn) are already generated, there's not much lag from that part, until someone explores new ground.
07:57 LazyJ Oddly, the "lag" is greatest at our spawn point.
07:57 LazyJ "Lag", is becoming a general term for sluggish game-play.
07:57 VanessaE lag only applies to latency between actions and the server answering.
07:58 VanessaE it doesn't apply to poor client performance, e.g. low fps
07:58 LazyJ I used to think it was a connection problem for players (and old hardware).
07:59 LazyJ I have 60fps while ingame so the problem(s) are elsewhere.
08:00 VanessaE I'm lucky to get 25 fps at the spawn on my server, even with the default textures
08:00 VanessaE but again, that is not lag as it doesn't really involve the server itself or the network, that's low performance in the client
08:01 LazyJ Yeah, "lag" isn't the proper term... but players use it like "Xerox" or "Kleenex".
08:01 VanessaE and if I'm using HDX + shaders + blah blah blah, I can't seem to even get a consistent 20 fps anymore.
08:01 * Taoki[mobile] wonders if RealBadAngel has any news on parallax shader or fog colors code
08:01 VanessaE players may use it, but you must work on correcting them when you see it :-)
08:02 VanessaE Taoki[mobile]: he's very close, as I understand
08:02 LazyJ I'm still struggling to remember the definition myself. :p
08:03 VanessaE simple:  if it involves the server doing something, or recognizing you doing something, or the network in between, it's lag.
08:03 LazyJ One of the many things on my MT to-do list is to try to learn/figure out where and why our server is suffering so badly.
08:03 Taoki[mobile] Yay...  cant wait
08:03 VanessaE if it doesn't - i.e. it's in the client - it's whatever it directly appears to be, low fps or whatever
08:03 LazyJ Hmm... dug blocks reappearing = lag?
08:04 VanessaE yep
08:04 LazyJ Flying to a location then suddenly snapping back to the place you started from = lag?
08:05 VanessaE yep
08:05 VanessaE and that one's something called "lagporting" or "lag-teleporting".
08:05 LazyJ Ok, I think I'm starting to get a bead on the term.
08:06 LazyJ The host is using a virtual machine, I think.
08:06 VanessaE that...doesn't help.
08:07 VanessaE particularly if the host has too many other processes running and consuming CPU or network bandwidth
08:07 LazyJ I've been wondering if that may be at the core of our issues.
08:07 VanessaE it might
08:07 LazyJ You host your server on your computer, sans-virtual machine, correct?
08:07 VanessaE yep on both counts
08:08 VanessaE behind a 30/3 cablemodem service, without any excess intervening hardware or other services running, just a decent firewall
08:08 LazyJ So what search terms do I use to find a hosting service that doesn't use a virtual machine but a real, dedicated machine?
08:08 VanessaE it helps that it has 6 cores, so I can do other stuff e.g. youtube or MT client without issues.
08:09 VanessaE I think the only way you'll get that is if you co-locate.
08:09 LazyJ Co-locate?
08:09 VanessaE though some VPS's might give you access to your own machine
08:09 VanessaE "co-locate", or "co-lo" means to pay for space and bandwidth to host your own hardware, which you either ship to the NOC or take it there yourself.
08:10 LazyJ Hmm.... I assume a the cost is far greater.
08:10 VanessaE considerably so
08:11 LazyJ All for a free game for other player to play for free.  Heh, nothing is truly free.
08:11 VanessaE heh yep
08:11 kahrl just dive into the atlantic, find the internet connection between europe and america, and hook your server to it
08:11 VanessaE better to just get a really good broadband connection and run it on your own hardware at home
08:11 VanessaE kahrl: heh
08:12 LazyJ Well, unfortunately the government doesn't like competition otherwise I'd just print off a few million or billion. :0)
08:12 Taoki[mobile] Open-Source proved some tbings can be fully free
08:12 VanessaE LazyJ: when you get around to doing THAT, print me a few hundred thousand and I'll be perfectly happy :-)
08:13 LazyJ You know... at the rate they are going, how would they notice a few privately printed millions. :/
08:13 VanessaE heh
08:13 VanessaE well I'm not greedy :P
08:13 LazyJ Ahk... this is straying from Minetest stuff. My apologies.
08:14 VanessaE this isn't -dev, so it's okay to go off-topic occasionally :)
08:14 * Jordach dosent care if we're offtopic, human chat tends to go casual like that
08:14 Jordach im an OP that doesnt give a shit about the topic, except ones that are stirring the shit tank
08:15 LazyJ A co-worker and I often kvetch about not winning the lottery. Our thoughts are not to win big, just win enough.
08:15 Taoki[mobile] Offtopic is prolly ok here
08:15 VanessaE LazyJ: Abe and I are the same way
08:16 Taoki[mobile] Juat not -dev
08:16 Jordach meh, i'm inerhiting 270k from my father :P
08:16 Jordach screw the lottery
08:16 Jordach (in theory i *could* live off the interest)
08:16 VanessaE Jordach: care to spare ~$5000 or so?  I've got an eBay watch list .... ;)
08:17 Jordach how about noooooo
08:17 VanessaE :(
08:17 VanessaE you suck :(
08:17 LazyJ Heh, yeah. I'd be happy with a reliable clunker and a small house. The rest of the "million" would buy me the freedom from a timeclock for the rest of my life.
08:18 Jordach VanessaE, my mother said bring me my corn flakes packet, but it's actually a box
08:18 Jordach VanessaE, maybe
08:18 * Jordach gives out some bitcoin
08:18 LazyJ Ugh... Dear Cat is bellowing.  brb
08:24 LazyJ Sometimes I forget that she isn't a spry kitten any more. The vet even confirmed that Dear Cat is officially a "senior" now. Where have the years gone?
08:27 LazyJ So what does this "Items definitions..." do during the loading screen?
08:27 VanessaE time for me to head off to bed.
08:27 VanessaE niht.
08:27 VanessaE night*

08:45 khor hi
08:46 khor How to configure a remote server minetest?
08:47 Calinou remote server?
08:49 khor I have a ssh access to the server and I not find the file minetest.conf
08:49 Calinou it's not there by default -- start the server at least once
08:49 Calinou or rename minetest.conf.example to minetest.conf, edit it and uncomment the modified entries
08:50 khor I have already started
08:53 khor I just found "/ usr / share / doc / minetest / minetest.conf.example.gz"
08:54 * Calinou facepalm
08:54 Calinou khor: I hope you're not using 0.3.x
08:55 khor I use 0.4.7
08:55 Calinou ah
08:58 JamesTait Good morning all, happy Friday and happy One Voice Day! :-D
09:02 Jordach morning JamesTait
09:02 * Jordach suggests your british
09:02 Jordach okay, either irish or british
09:02 Jordach dunno why i typo'd
09:03 JamesTait Jordach, is it the timezone?  It's the timezone, isn't it?  I knew it!
09:03 JamesTait :-P
09:03 Jordach JamesTait, haha
09:03 * Jordach knows someone with the surname Tait, and his father is James
09:03 Jordach i actually wtf'd on that
09:03 JamesTait Shhhh!
09:04 Jordach you said it in this channel before, when gassyBritish was looking for a cloak
09:04 * JamesTait nods
09:04 Jordach (in fact you were using your droid at the time)
09:04 * Jordach doesnt even need scrollback :P
09:05 Jordach btw, made a sword in blender: http://i.imgur.com/JUUbdFN.png
09:06 JamesTait Funny (ish) story - just after Christmas I got an e-mail from an airline confirming my flight a couple of days later.  I knew nothing of this flight, so I asked our company travel agent.
09:06 JamesTait Turns out there's another James Tait working in the company and the ticket was for him.
09:06 Jordach oh god theres irony
09:06 JamesTait He usually goes by his middle name, Nick, so nobody noticed.
09:07 JamesTait But his passport says James Nicholas Tait.
09:11 JamesTait Jordach, nice weapon! :)
09:12 Jordach sword how has an underside
09:12 Jordach now*
09:12 Jordach JamesTait, low poly model in blender
09:12 Jordach ~ 1 hours work
09:13 JamesTait For me, ~10 hours.
09:13 Jordach heh
09:13 Calinou Jordach: that looks like a knife, not really a sword
09:14 Jordach Calinou, it's longer in the .blend file
09:14 Calinou that said, it could be used in red eclipse, given how much the sword sucks :D
09:14 Calinou also, low poly :(
09:14 Calinou it's 2013
09:15 Jordach the RE Sword is also low poly
09:16 Jordach it's not that much different

09:28 MasterBot Hi
09:28 MasterBot I have to choose between Puppy Linux (~100MB) and Porteus (~200MB)
09:29 MasterBot Porteus can connect to network ,Puppy cant but puppy can make backups
09:29 MasterBot Which one can support minetest Compiling?
09:29 PenguinDad Both can do it.
09:30 Calinou have fun getting dependencies without network
09:32 PenguinDad For me network works with Puppy but...
09:32 PenguinDad ... only Ethernet.
09:34 Calinou no firmware, yes
09:34 Calinou and this is why you use *buntus or mint :P
09:34 Calinou or any user friendly distro

09:37 MasterBot Puppy linux sound minstream
09:37 MasterBot *mainstream
09:37 MasterBot But porteus is very similar to my Lubuntu
09:38 MasterBot They both can run from RAM, though
09:38 proller joined #minetest
09:38 Calinou lol it isn't
09:38 MasterBot How do i get both and then get an option at boot to choose?
09:38 Calinou all the live distros run from RAM
09:38 MasterBot For me it is, i customized it beyond repair
09:39 MasterBot Okay, then i need to update lol
09:41 MasterBot or i have the option to do fuck all and install Tiny Core Linux
09:42 Jordach MasterBot, ArchLinux
09:42 PenguinDad if want to run both on a USB stick use multisystem
09:43 MasterBot Thats what i need ^^ :
09:43 MasterBot :)
09:43 Calinou lol harsh linux
09:44 MasterBot LXDE and KDE or XFCE
09:44 MasterBot Sounds like bullshit to me
09:47 PenguinDad Multisystem has a very good french translation but the english is good too. ;)
09:58 MasterBot Im trying Porteus XFCE
09:59 * PenguinDad uses Xubuntu.
10:00 PenguinDad But at the moment I'm thinking about changing to ArchLinux
10:02 Calinou lel harsh linux
10:02 Calinou xubuntu ftw
10:05 RealBadAngel Taoki[laptop], i finally found the way to properly calculate tangent space vectors
10:06 RealBadAngel i will calculate all the vectors, normal, tangent and binormal in core, they will be stored in tile itself and passed to shaders
10:07 RealBadAngel normal vector was already calculated in core but wasnt passed to shaders at all, it was used just for light calculations

12:00 Zeg9 ...whats the problem with sasl?
12:01 Exio4 sasl is awesome
12:01 Exio4 it doesn't leak your ip to anyone using /monitor +, but there are ways to get it

14:52 hoodedice *dead chat*
14:52 Calinou http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minetest - [surprised TF2 heavy face]... I'm surprised it wasn't removed already
14:55 hoodedice It is a good article. Just needs some citations
14:55 Calinou it's quite worse than the old one that was removed
14:55 hoodedice 'Nominated for deletion' wtf?
14:56 Peacock MCers gonna hate lol
14:56 Calinou yeah see
14:56 Calinou it is advised not to edit it with your real name 8D
14:56 Calinou (or user name)
14:56 Calinou Peacock: true
14:56 Peacock well theyre are prolly some very pro-MC editors
14:56 Peacock at least for english wiki
14:56 Calinou there are
14:57 Calinou it's fun, since wikipedia is supposed to be a "free" encyclopedia 8D
14:57 Peacock though isnt there some mechanism to protect an article from biased editors?
14:57 Calinou anyway, it's not that important to have minetest on wikipedia, but it's still good
14:57 Calinou Peacock: theorically you aren't supposed to edit or create a page if you have a relation to the project
14:58 Calinou but that rule is beyond stupid because there are tons of well intented editors who get their pages removed due to this...
14:58 * Calinou finger faces wikipedia
14:58 Peacock so how do they know the person posting the page is a dev?
14:58 Calinou nicknames
14:59 Jordach btw, i might start contributing to wikipedia and then create the mt page under a different nick
14:59 Jordach solves the problemn
14:59 Jordach -n
14:59 Peacock does the rule apply to players too, are they considered related?
14:59 hoodedice What the heck That discussion is as biased as peace talks between Israel and Palestine !!
15:00 rsiska joined #minetest
15:00 hoodedice What do those people think?
15:00 hoodedice What then is a good source if it is not the main site? Blogs?
15:00 Peacock israel palestine solution = build a wall around it and let them fight it out lol (hunger games?)
15:01 Peacock maybe
15:01 Peacock by sources they want something outside the project
15:01 Peacock perhaps if someone got a few articles written about minetest
15:02 Peacock that would constitute an outside source
15:02 Peacock like indiegamemag
15:02 hoodedice http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FlightGear
15:02 hoodedice About five of 20 sources are from the main site
15:03 hoodedice I just don't understand how 'outside sources' can be more reliable
15:03 Peacock yeah but the other sources are what, fan and content sites?
15:03 Peacock " the article doesn't have the significant coverage in reliable secondary sources necessary for it to pass the general notability guideline. "
15:03 hoodedice You wanna know about, say Islam, you ask a Muslim, not a Christian !
15:03 hoodedice Wikipedia is crass.
15:03 hoodedice -.-
15:04 Peacock id say get the game covered by indie publications first, then the wiki article
15:04 rubenwardy joined #minetest
15:05 hoodedice Just type minecraft alternatives
15:05 hoodedice You'll get many of them
15:05 Peacock on the talk page: "If you came here because http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2876, please note that this is not a majority vote, "
15:05 Peacock the irony lol
15:05 hoodedice I'd seen that
15:05 Peacock wikipedia and devs think alike at least :p
15:05 hoodedice Irony indeed
15:06 hoodedice Yeah, why don't we use some 'alternatives' site for sources?
15:06 Peacock because someone else has to write about minetest
15:06 ch98 joined #minetest
15:06 hoodedice Or how about getting penguspy to write on it?
15:06 Peacock putting up our own fansite/content sites don't count since wed be considered related
15:07 hoodedice Here is one, by a person NOT connected to the main site
15:07 hoodedice http://download.cnet.com/Minetest/3000-20416_4-75846519.html
15:08 Peacock download site
15:08 Peacock you wont find a wiki article for every piece of software there :P
15:09 hoodedice Yeah, but the info could be considered, right?
15:09 Peacock not really
15:09 Peacock since its probably one of us who put it up there lol
15:09 rubenwardy See https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BbcG5Zg2bFOMTW_3EgFeIGKqvcA-Lhp-mGdDOaiQKP4/edit?usp=sharing
15:09 hoodedice wut? lol
15:09 hoodedice Another: http://www.squidoo.com/games-that-are-like-minecraft
15:10 hoodedice Hey Rubun, Thanks bro]
15:10 hoodedice *Ruben
15:10 rubenwardy Wiki has been tried before
15:10 Peacock mmmm, reubens' sandwich
15:10 rubenwardy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minetest
15:11 Peacock ? "And there is the question of most Minetest images being deleted for copyright violations"
15:11 hoodedice Which images?
15:11 hoodedice on omdlr?
15:11 Peacock i dont know
15:11 hoodedice LAWL !
15:11 hoodedice I guess those must be it
15:11 rubenwardy they were screenshots
15:11 Peacock that one caught me by surprise too
15:11 hoodedice Yeah
15:11 rubenwardy no copyright violations
15:11 hoodedice I guess ompdlr
15:11 rubenwardy no
15:12 rubenwardy wikipedia upload
15:12 Peacock images are removed, but for a variety of reasons (dead host), never for copyright
15:12 Peacock unless notch is doing secret DMCAs
15:12 hoodedice Copyright violations of what? Minecraft?
15:12 Peacock but i doubt they give a far
15:12 hoodedice Another one
15:12 Peacock *fark
15:12 hoodedice http://itsfoss.com/minetest-free-alternative-of-minecraft-get-it-in-ubuntu/
15:12 hoodedice This one looks good
15:14 hoodedice Another tiny one : http://jonnyholroyd.x10.mx/2013/05/minetest-an-open-source-minecraft-alternative/
15:14 hoodedice We'll spam wikipedia with sources :P
15:15 nalkri How notable do the sources need to be?
15:15 nalkri We could all blog :p
15:16 thexyz just create a page in each language
15:16 thexyz apart from english
15:16 rubenwardy EMagazines, review sites with closed staff...
15:17 hoodedice Lets not talk about making our own sources. They'll throw us out
15:17 rubenwardy see Wikipedia's reliability and notibility policy
15:17 hoodedice If I wanted, I could've made two or three in different languages. But we can't :/
15:18 nalkri I thought that was obviously a joke
15:19 hoodedice Can't use forums either?
15:20 hoodedice Minecraft forums?
15:20 rubenwardy Who is Abdul Mujeeb?
15:20 Peacock just bug some magazine/website editor to write an article/review about it, pretty much what they seem to want
15:20 hoodedice I don't know
15:20 rubenwardy on gmail
15:20 rubenwardy If anybody wants to PM their email address, I can give edit privs
15:21 hoodedice This looks good

15:22 rubenwardy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28video_games%29
15:22 hoodedice More of a review site
15:22 * VanessaE peeks in
15:22 marktraceur hoodedice: Yeah, but it's not published either
15:22 rubenwardy and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28video_games%29
15:23 hoodedice Derivative games (such as ports, remakes, compilations, and expansions) may be covered in a Wikipedia article, but not necessarily in a separate article.
15:23 marktraceur rubenwardy: You're posting the _same link_
15:23 hoodedice So, we file under minecraft? LAWL
15:23 rubenwardy sorry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources
15:23 marktraceur hoodedice: Only if you can find notability
15:23 rubenwardy no
15:23 hoodedice So, I'm gonna start a newspaper tomorrow.
15:23 rubenwardy we are not a derivative game of minecraft
15:23 VanessaE this mess again?  give it up, wikipedia has become a cesspool of deletionists.
15:23 hoodedice :)
15:23 marktraceur VanessaE: Sure hope not
15:23 hoodedice +1 Vanessa
15:24 hoodedice I don't know how wikipedia Islam is still clean
15:24 marktraceur hoodedice: The hard work of devoted volunteers?
15:24 hoodedice After all the stuff you see about Islam on the net
15:25 hoodedice How did they not call that as 'credible' (One reason could be rinted religious books)
15:25 Peacock lol whats your obsession with islam?
15:25 hoodedice Examle
15:25 Peacock its like 2 or 3 times you mention it since i woke up :P
15:25 hoodedice *Example
15:25 Peacock and im only on 2nd cup of coffee
15:26 hoodedice I could use Christianity, or something else. But this is the first thing that came to mind :P
15:26 NakedFury joined #minetest
15:27 Peacock it says in plain english: "nor has the game received any reviews or awards or any controversy that would make the subject notable"
15:28 hoodedice Controversy?
15:28 Peacock thats what i was thinking lol
15:28 hoodedice See the bashing minecrafters give us ontheir damn forum
15:28 Peacock of the three, we do that best :p
15:28 hoodedice *elitists*
15:29 rubenwardy I recommend we work on the old article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rubenwardy/Minetest
15:29 rubenwardy or in AfC
15:29 rubenwardy (Articles for Creation)
15:29 Peacock reading the talk page though, cant help but notice the irony of ppl who usually apply rules so strictly, try to get around them on wikipedia lol
15:29 hoodedice Yeah. Ruben, we could do that
15:30 bas080 joined #minetest
15:30 hoodedice We could fill out that article, then publish it when we get enough sources
15:31 hoodedice We've had enough of bashing Minecraft
15:31 hoodedice Lets all start bashing wikipedia XD
15:31 Peacock "Vanessaezekowitz is a moderator and a contributor to the site and development. Celeron55 is a clear SPA (Single Purpose Account) and in addition he is the games creator and main developer. Calinou1 (On Minetest its Calinou) is a moderator and contributor to the development and site. All three users have a possible (If not obvious) COI."
15:31 Peacock i think that sunk the article
15:31 hoodedice Yeah, right
15:32 VanessaE the article was sunk before it ever got off the docks.
15:32 hoodedice People who are related will be the ones making an article
15:32 VanessaE deletionists.
15:32 Peacock you should never have gotten involved
15:32 Peacock it is a conflict of interest
15:32 Peacock being part of the management makes it look like self-promotion
15:32 hoodedice You don't see, say Americans writing an article, on say, Russians.
15:33 Peacock i dont think focusing on other articles is going to help
15:34 hmmmm joined #minetest
15:35 VanessaE bear in mind also, that COI arguments were ultimately tossed out, so the guy making the final decision claimed anyway
15:35 hoodedice What do you mean, Vanessa?
15:36 VanessaE hoodedice: look at the top of the page.  " have basically ignored the discussion about conflicts of interest in my close, and focused solely on whether or not the article satisfies Wikipedia's standards for inclusion. " — Mr. Stradivarius
15:36 VanessaE +"I"
15:37 marktraceur Yeah, it makes sense
15:37 VanessaE so if someone can find a way to make minetest famous, a new article might survive...  for a week or so before being killed by another Wiki admin for some other reason.
15:37 marktraceur I've talked to Wikipedians since who say the COI argument is stupid
15:37 Calinou let's poke Gronkh
15:37 marktraceur VanessaE: See footnote one of [[WP:Notability (Video Games)]]
15:38 marktraceur Er
15:38 marktraceur [[WP:Notability (games)]]
15:38 Calinou O_o why did rubenwardy delete it
15:38 Calinou that's a bannable offense
15:38 marktraceur Calinou: The WP article?
15:39 Calinou <Peacock> it says in plain english: "nor has the game received any reviews or awards or any controversy that would make the subject notable"
15:39 Calinou same thing for red eclipse
15:39 nalkri Controversy?
15:39 Calinou yet it's on wikipedia and the article isn't even up to date (screenshots of removed maps, old font)
15:39 nalkri Add puppies that can be stamped on
15:39 Calinou marktraceur: yes
15:39 sokomine oh, guess we can do with controversy :-)
15:39 rubenwardy so is recreating an article that has been deleted, when there is no additional content
15:39 sokomine awards...hm...are there any?
15:39 hoodedice YES. AWESOMEST GAME WITH LEAST SOURCES AWARD
15:40 marktraceur Calinou: rubenwardy is watching the page maybe, and noticed that Wikipedia wasn't helped by the recreation, so re-deleted it
15:40 marktraceur Seems sane to me
15:40 hoodedice MR. Stradivarius seems like a good guy to me :P
15:41 hoodedice At least he shut all the fanboys :P
15:41 rubenwardy If you want to rewrite the article like that, go in to history and get the old source, and then create it in YOUR USER SPACE or in ARTICLES FOR CREATION
15:41 marktraceur Indeed.
15:41 rubenwardy making it like that could get the name "Minetest" lockes
15:41 rubenwardy *locked
15:41 VanessaE sokomine: sure, softpedia gave it a "100% clean" award :P
15:41 VanessaE (as in malware-clean)
15:42 marktraceur Wow.
15:42 hoodedice Wikipedians are watching us like the NSA
15:42 hoodedice What's the difference now?
15:42 Calinou wikipedians make a list of MLP characters, the NSA doesn't
15:43 rubenwardy lol
15:43 sokomine getting awards or reviews in magazines might be difficult
15:43 proller joined #minetest
15:44 hoodedice rofl
15:44 Calinou we're not in 2007 anymore, people forgot about the "crysis", they prefer praising 50 euro AAA games now
15:44 hoodedice hmm
15:44 sokomine there was at least one site that mentioned alternatives to minecraft. that was how i got to know about the game in the first place. i was looking for something that run better on my computer and that could be modified
15:45 marktraceur sokomine: Probably a blog post, which isn't WP:NOTABLE
15:45 Calinou some guy posted about minetest on a sauerbraten clan forum, so I tried it out
15:46 Calinou we should get brad pitt or notch to say "Minetest is awesome!"
15:46 hoodedice haha
15:46 hoodedice I found out about minetest from.....
15:46 hoodedice I think laydeb.net
15:46 marktraceur Children, you're not going to produce a Wikipedia article yourselves. Wait for the coverage, then write it.
15:46 hoodedice *playdeb
15:46 Peacock what mark said
15:46 hoodedice Agree]
15:46 Calinou or we should hire people to do it for us
15:47 * Calinou runs
15:47 Peacock you can argue wiki's rules till the cows come home, but it might be simpler to just get the game reviewed
15:47 Calinou have fun asking review sites then
15:47 hoodedice What if we bug some indie reviewers to review it?
15:47 hoodedice Will that be COI>
15:47 hoodedice ?
15:47 Calinou let's bug micheal larabel to add minetest to PTS
15:47 * Calinou runs again
15:48 rubenwardy been there, done that
15:48 rubenwardy https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xBaKlMplRy-8qsPeMw4jO65nxctCeWUGa-Q0Jqx1lNk/edit?usp=sharing
15:48 rubenwardy <> have fun asking review sites then
15:49 marktraceur Peacock, hoodedice, Calinou, _you will not accomplish this if you try to build publicity yourselves_
15:49 marktraceur Let me make this absolutely clear
15:49 marktraceur You will have a COI argument on your hands
15:49 marktraceur And then the article will get deleted again
15:49 marktraceur And then you'll be back to square zero.
15:49 hoodedice ok mark
15:50 Peacock im not trying to get MT on wikipedia, im just pointing out why the keep arguments failed
15:50 Peacock all of them from devs/modders
15:50 ch98 joined #minetest
15:51 VanessaE Peacock: who else is better qualified?
15:51 Peacock unbiased third parties
15:51 hoodedice Yeah, and then like what I said
15:51 VanessaE if you don't know an article's subject, should you contribute to the article?
15:51 hoodedice Do Hindus write on Judaism?
15:51 hoodedice -.-
15:51 VanessaE (not you personally of course)
15:52 Calinou if you get people that have nothing to do with the game to make an article, expect 1) incorrectness 2) typos
15:52 Calinou 3) possible lack of images
15:53 hoodedice 4) Too much bias towards minecraft
15:53 Peacock like i said, arguing with wikipedia about their rules is at least as pointless as the countless arguments here about licenses, the rules won't change
15:53 Peacock if you can enforce rules you can follow 'em
15:54 hoodedice :)
15:54 hoodedice Lets all go back to our modding/engines/whatever/coffee
15:54 Peacock mmm, coffee lol
15:56 marktraceur VanessaE: It's fine to have people involved in the game writing the article, they just need proper evidence and references to back them up when the COI case comes a-knockin'
15:57 VanessaE right
15:57 VanessaE the problem today is the same as it was before - finding "reliable" sources.
15:57 Peacock i dont know if http://www.indiegamemag.com/ covers free games, might be worth a shot to ask them to review MT
15:58 VanessaE how is it that I personally got interviews and write-ups in paper magazines for subjects I was intimately connected with at the time, yet now as a community we can't even seem to get the same done on just a few useful websites?
15:58 VanessaE (the former was years ago)
15:59 hoodedice How come the german wikipedia still has a minetest page?
15:59 Peacock what happens when one (anyone) asks for a review of MT?
15:59 VanessaE hoodedice: because the english deletionists can't see past their lack of expertise in German to read and use the sources that that article has?
16:00 hoodedice whatever
16:00 hoodedice Lets just not talk about this
16:00 hoodedice For all we know, any of us could be a wikipedian in disguise :O
16:00 rubenwardy I never got a reply from IGN.com
16:00 hoodedice :P
16:00 VanessaE who cares
16:01 rubenwardy or http://irc.minetest.net/minetest
16:01 hoodedice Ruben; don't expect one so soon
16:01 rubenwardy yeah
16:01 rubenwardy I wasnt
16:01 rubenwardy I sent it in sep last yeah
16:01 rubenwardy *year
16:01 VanessaE (about wikipedians in disguise I mean)
16:01 marktraceur hoodedice: Pretty sure it's not a great disguise
16:01 * marktraceur works for the Wikimedia Foundation
16:01 hoodedice Not that sort,
16:02 hoodedice The sort that talks nicely with us and later pulls a COI

17:35 OldCoder PilzAdam, be useful:
17:35 OldCoder Does MT server listen on all IP addresses? I am reviving my MT worlds today. Fiddling with ports.
17:35 Peacock i dont understand the q
17:35 OldCoder Peacock, it is O.K. Some of the others will.
17:36 Peacock do you mean ports?
17:36 OldCoder No; IP addresses
17:36 OldCoder I am debugging a ports issue
17:36 OldCoder And must be certain of IP address issues
17:36 Peacock im probably misunderstanding, but i thought servers had one IP
17:36 hdastwb why would you have more than one IP address?
17:36 OldCoder Peacock, hdastwb because servers can have many IP addresses
17:36 OldCoder For example
17:37 PilzAdam OldCoder, https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/801
17:37 OldCoder Localhost is 127.0.0.1 and there may be a separate WAN address. PilzAdam I will review.
17:37 PilzAdam its currently not possible
17:37 nalkri I often have three IPs
17:37 Peacock oh, lol yeah i have lan, wan and modem adresses lol
17:38 nalkri WiFi, Ethernet, USB, loopback
17:38 nalkri So four but I don't count the loopback
17:38 Peacock me neither
17:38 Peacock networking hasn't got easier over the years lol
17:38 nalkri Yes it has
17:39 nalkri If nothing else, we don't need crossover cables any more
17:39 Peacock meh, to me every new solution presents more problems
17:39 nalkri And widespread WiFi is a boon
17:39 Peacock wifi def made things easier
17:39 Peacock i have a box full of CAT5's lol
17:39 nalkri I remember the olden days when LAN gaming involved stringing cables between windows
17:40 Peacock 90's LAN parties lol
17:40 Peacock when everyone brought the white-turned-yellow box lol
17:40 Peacock *their
17:40 OldCoder PilzAdam, actually it is good; looks like it listens on all addresses. That is what I needed to know.
17:41 nalkri And crossover cables for when there weren't enough ports on one hub
17:42 nalkri Though I ended up with some rackmount switches an office was throwing out
17:42 * OldCoder and the other engineers cobbled together a DOS LAN around 1993 for Doom
17:42 nalkri Weighed more than my PC...
17:42 * OldCoder is resting and will return later
17:42 nalkri rest well
17:42 OldCoder o/
17:43 Peacock OT, but whats a good (not hog) file explorer with slideshow? thunar thumbnails are pretty small at max
17:43 nalkri Emacs
17:43 Peacock lol
17:43 nalkri Except for the not hog bit
17:43 Peacock i dont feel like changing distros this weekend :p
17:44 Peacock i know nautilus does it, but it comes with so many friggin packages now
17:44 nalkri I quite liked Konqueror a few years back
17:44 nalkri But gods alone know what deps it has now
17:45 Peacock let's say a prayer for our dearly departed KISS lol
17:45 nalkri We need to destroy applications
17:45 Peacock locking on with phoutahn torpedos
17:45 nalkri I will now engage in my "you're doing it wrong" software rant for the next three hours
17:45 nalkri Poutine torpedos?
17:45 Peacock lol
17:46 Peacock in Quebec they keep pronouncing Putin as Poutine, it drives me nuts lol
17:46 nalkri Pretty sure he's not food
17:46 Peacock seriously lol
17:46 Peacock youre not sposed to translate a proper name like that tho?
17:47 nalkri You're not, but I'm English
17:47 nalkri So I can't complain
17:47 nalkri On a related note, "poutine" is cheesy chips with gravy and should be refered to as such
17:47 Peacock the French use more anglicismes than Quebeckers, even though we're surrounded by english lol
17:47 Peacock i know, it comes from here :p
17:48 nalkri Well, we can buy cheesy chips with gravy at any chippy or kebab van :p
17:48 Peacock no kebab vans here tho
17:48 nalkri Probably lucky
17:49 Peacock they banned mobile food trucks in the 60s, too unsanitary apparently
17:49 Peacock heck even bricks and mortar restaurants aren't terribly sanitary

18:37 [0gb_us] VanessaE, you said you use the latest version of Ubuntu?
18:38 [0gb_us] Actually, does anyone here use Ubuntu 13.04? We're checking for a glitch.
18:38 hdastwb I do
18:39 [0gb_us] Can you try printing a web page in Firefox to a file please? Try to save it to anywhere but your home directory.
18:40 PenguinDad I do use it, too.
18:40 [0gb_us] If the glitch is in 13.04, it will print it to your home directory even if you tell it to print it elsewhere.
18:42 PenguinDad Works for me.
18:42 [0gb_us] Prints to the correct directory?
18:42 hdastwb confirmed; I usually CUPS-PDF for file printing, though, so I have never tried that before
18:42 hdastwb it does not print to the correct directory for me
18:42 [0gb_us] Okay. Thanks!
18:43 PenguinDad But I use Firefox Nightly. ;)
18:44 hdastwb ah; I have Firefox stable (22.0)
18:44 PenguinDad Maybe it's a bug of the packaged Version.
18:45 [0gb_us] THat explains the difference. Thanks PenguinDad and hdastwb!
18:45 hdastwb you're welcome!

18:57 Megaf are you a girl?
18:57 nalkri Not to the best of my knowledge
18:57 BlockMen5233 joined #minetest
18:57 Megaf so I cant give you anything
18:57 nalkri But pressure simulation in minetest is probably impossible
18:58 Megaf unless you implement the whole thing in lua
18:58 Megaf atmosphere and stuff
18:59 nalkri It'd murder the server
18:59 nalkri It already murders SS13, which is 2d
19:00 [0gb_us] Has anyone seen ShadowNinja over the past couple days?
19:00 Megaf man, are players just waiting everysecond to my server to be on? I leave my server down for an hour or so, then I turn it on again and at the very same second players starts to enter
19:00 [0gb_us] Yes, people love your world.
19:01 Megaf non of my players are here tho
19:01 Megaf IRC is not very well known now a days
19:02 [0gb_us] They love your world but hat IRC.
19:02 [0gb_us] *hate
19:02 Megaf indeed
19:03 nalkri Your world has hats?
19:03 Megaf heh
19:04 [0gb_us] I don't know if my world has hats. I haven't been there in a very long time. Though it didn't last I checked.
19:08 Megaf load_mod_bones = false
19:08 Megaf why this doesnt work?
19:08 Megaf the bones mod still loading
19:08 [0gb_us] Is bones in the game directory or in the "mods" directory?
19:09 [0gb_us] You can't disable it if it is in the game directory.
19:09 [0gb_us] (I think.)
19:11 Calinou joined #minetest
19:15 PenguinDad Is there a method to check which resolution a texture has?
19:16 [0gb_us] I don't think there is.
19:16 [0gb_us] You might be able to use os.execute() in some way to do that.
19:16 [0gb_us] Never mind, that won't work.
19:17 [0gb_us] You'd need a method of finding the path to the texture to make that possible.
19:20 Menche joined #minetest
19:22 hdastwb and if someone has a client-side texture pack, textures might be impossible to measure from the server

19:50 Jordach lol, buntu
19:53 [0gb_us] Actually, the user having an issue was using Xunbuntu 13.04, but as the issue is in Xubuntu's Firefox, which is the same in Ubuntu, I said Ubuntu instead.

20:06 DanDuncombe Could someone pastebin the code for an am to spawn a sphere with an radius of 50
20:06 DanDuncombe *abm
20:07 PenguinDad //sphere 50 something <- WorldEdit
20:08 DanDuncombe I need an abm
20:09 DanDuncombe I can't use a worldedit command every time my bomb detonates
20:09 Calinou find a way to call it through an ABM? (is that possible? :P)
20:09 Calinou bombs usually don't make perfect spheres and treat stone as more resistant than dirt...
20:09 DanDuncombe Just spawn a big sphere of some sort, like the nuke mod.
20:09 DanDuncombe It doesn't have to be perfect, just ~50 nodes diameter
20:10 Calinou it will be a perfect sphere :P
20:10 DanDuncombe I don'tmind
20:11 DanDuncombe Please can someone do it?
20:12 DanDuncombe Can it also spawn a 'mushroom cloud' of fire?
20:12 DanDuncombe And injure people...
20:14 nalkri And induce mutagenesis
20:15 DanDuncombe No.Just death.
20:16 nalkri Aww :(
20:16 DanDuncombe It is for the zombie game.
20:16 DanDuncombe It is so you can make big holes.
20:16 nalkri Mutagenesis is where zombies come from :D
20:16 DanDuncombe It won't hurt zombies.
20:17 DanDuncombe Maybe... if zombies in range could change into giant zombies, which are already in the game.
20:17 DanDuncombe Is anyone actually doing it?
20:17 nalkri I wouldn't know where to start, I'm trying to figure out making books work
20:18 DanDuncombe CAn someone please do it?
20:18 DanDuncombe I amin a hurry
20:18 Calinou we're not your salves
20:18 DanDuncombe *am in
20:18 Calinou slaves* :P
20:18 nalkri Or salves
20:18 DanDuncombe Please can someone help. I don't know where to start or end.
20:18 DanDuncombe Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.
20:20 DanDuncombe I just need a big explosion.

20:21 nalkri Please stop that
20:21 DanDuncombe KK
20:21 nalkri You're going to guarantee that nobody helps aside from anything else
20:21 DanDuncombe Oops.
20:23 DanDuncombe Okay, maybe I will do something else. Instead of an explosion maybe it will just make player into zombies.
20:23 nalkri Oh, does anyone know if inventory objects can open dialogues?
20:23 nalkri So I can decide whether or not to bother with my book idea

20:52 Kacey no
20:52 marktraceur Because I'm pretty sure that you can demonstrate the falsehood of both. Really easily
20:52 marktraceur .

20:53 Kacey he wont let me marktraceur
20:53 Nick__ cold shoulder maybe?
20:53 marktraceur Kacey: Then it's not a debate, it's him proselytizing. Use the word proselytizing, even incorrectly, that oughta shut him up.
20:54 Kacey naww i will just let him play and learn

21:12 DanDuncombe Thanks
21:13 DanDuncombe What is the entity bit? Something like minetest.add_entity(zombies:wraith)
21:13 Peacock look at mob code
21:13 DanDuncombe Okay
21:13 Semilevel joined #minetest
21:14 Peacock if your mod already adds zombies, its the same function
21:16 DanDuncombe This won't work:  minetest.register_on_dieplayer(function(player) minetest.add_entity(pos, name) end)
21:17 DanDuncombe It is in three lines
21:17 DanDuncombe minetest.register_on_dieplayer(function(player)
21:17 DanDuncombe minetest.add_entity(pos, name)
21:17 DanDuncombe end)
21:17 DanDuncombe With correct indents
21:17 DanDuncombe Crashes when you die.
21:18 Peacock where is your pos coming from?
21:18 DanDuncombe I don't know
21:18 Peacock pos should be player:getpos()
21:18 DanDuncombe Where to add?
21:18 Peacock where you put pos
21:18 DanDuncombe Okay. Will try.
21:20 DanDuncombe Okay.Now it tries to add a 'singleplayer' entity
21:20 Peacock whats the error message?
21:20 DanDuncombe No error, just an unknown 'singleplayer' entity
21:21 DanDuncombe Do I need to say which entity to add?

21:32 DanDuncombe Menche, there is an update to Zombies Game.
21:39 DanDuncombe PilzAdam, my zombie game uses (I think) Modified code from your Simplemobs. If so,what lines can I change to make them jump higher,both normally and when chasing you?
21:41 PilzAdam search for a setvelocity() call that gives vertical speed
21:42 DanDuncombe Thanks.
21:42 DanDuncombe Vertical speed would be something like VY, or what?
21:45 DanDuncombe PilzAdam: I have tried changing a coupleof v.y values, but they don't seem to affect it. Help?
21:47 DanDuncombe PilzAdam: Don't worry, figured it out :)

23:32 Jordach haha
23:33 Peacock seriously why do they keep trying to turn spawn into mexico? i want it to be nice
23:33 Peacock theres crap all over the place to clean up again
23:33 PilzAdam you imply that mexico is not nice
23:34 sokomine what's that got to do with mexico? that country may look great in parts i think
23:34 Peacock ive been, have you?
23:34 sokomine your server isn't the only one that suffers from chaotic spawn. happens quite frequently. do build some roads to get started. that helps to some degree
23:35 Peacock so ppl can dig them up?
23:36 Peacock im already coming up with another autoban script for random placement of stuff
23:36 sokomine if you don't protect them, they may. but without protection and interact for everyone, it's difficult to get spawn into a good stage
23:36 Peacock protection is a drag on the server, though i may start revoking interac for news
23:36 Peacock *newbs
23:36 sokomine people may even build ugly cobble huts and consider them as the epithome of architecture
23:37 sokomine not too good either. people coming in and beeing able to build immediately are more likely to stay
23:37 Jordach Peacock, whats your address
23:37 sokomine perhaps the opposite around? small area where newbies can build something on their own if they wish?
23:37 Peacock yeah but protection is too hands on, you have to create zones for everyone
23:37 Peacock and protection blocks can be abused
23:38 Peacock jordach: startest on public list, dont know today's IP
23:38 rsiska joined #minetest
23:38 Jordach Peacock, shadowninja has an areas mod where the admin defines areas with worldedit and sets them
23:39 Peacock you do realize the more zones you setup the more checks and calculations are done each time something is dug/placed
23:40 sokomine i've changed the wazuclan/linuxgaming-permafy-mod as well so that that uses worldedit-position if those are set for the player issuing the command. that's practical
23:40 kahrl should be roughly O(log n) checks if it is implemented well
23:40 Jordach Peacock, joining your server as Jordach
23:40 Peacock got sokomine2 and pilzadam on too
23:41 sokomine wish redcrab would show up and share his mod. that self-protection method of his is quite good. node_ownership needs some more work though; especially setting of the areas via worldedit/markers
23:41 sokomine ah, yes, i'm sokomine2. for some reason i didn't get in with the password i set
23:42 PilzAdam Peacock, the turrets are way too close to the spawn
23:43 Peacock just disabled them
23:43 Peacock one of those idiots placed them there
23:44 sweminetest then I guess its a total coincidence that I found a server that has a mumble server as their official one. K
23:46 hdastwb the (former) zombie apocalypse server is getting pretty lagged; it doesn't seem to want to let me on at the moment…
23:48 PilzAdam Peacock, I have to say that turrets are a really bad way to protect buildings
23:48 Peacock well ppl can't get close lol
23:49 Peacock prob is every server that runs protection still gets griefed
23:49 Peacock dont need false sense of security
23:53 sokomine protected buildings are usually safe :-)
23:54 Peacock originally i wanted to spawn new players on another realm
23:54 Peacock and take the good builders to earth
23:55 sokomine yes...only that the good builders may not stay in the first place
23:55 Peacock land is land and the inv is the same
23:57 hdastwb has anyone ever run a server with hud installed before?
23:58 hdastwb it just hit Rancon's Skyblock server, and ever since I've been getting a ridiculous amount of lag
23:58 Peacock isnt hud on all 0.4.7's?
23:58 hdastwb the hud mod, with hunger
23:59 Peacock oh
23:59 Peacock thought you just mean <hud>
23:59 Peacock *meant
23:59 hdastwb I could probably have phrased that better…
