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?)? |

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? |

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 :) |

Hey guys. I'm sorry I haven't been very active lately. I'm in sort of an existential crisis |

07:43 |
VanessaE |
? |
07:43 |

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 |

Well, unfortunately the government doesn't like competition otherwise I'd just print off a few million or billion. :0) |

You know... at the rate they are going, how would they notice a few privately printed millions. :/ |

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 |

normal vector was already calculated in core but wasnt passed to shaders at all, it was used just for light calculations |

You should probably ask in #minetest-dev |

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 |

14:59 |

does the rule apply to players too, are they considered related? |

What do those people think? |
15:00 |

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. " |

You wanna know about, say Islam, you ask a Muslim, not a Christian ! |

15:05 |
hoodedice |
Irony indeed |
15:06 |
hoodedice |
Yeah, why don't we use some 'alternatives' site for sources? |
15:06 |

because someone else has to write about minetest |

you should never have gotten involved |

i dont think focusing on other articles is going to help |

hmmmm joined #minetest |
15:35 |

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 |

Peacock, hoodedice, Calinou, _you will not accomplish this if you try to build publicity yourselves_ |
15:49 |

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 |

And then you'll be back to square zero. |

if you don't know an article's subject, should you contribute to the article? |

15:51 |

(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 |

if you can enforce rules you can follow 'em |

15:56 |

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? |

(the former was years ago) |

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? |

Hi [0gb_us] |
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! |

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 |

You'd need a method of finding the path to the texture to make that possible. |

This won't work: minetest.register_on_dieplayer(function(player) minetest.add_entity(pos, name) end) |

whats the error message? |

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 |

Thanks. |

Vertical speed would be something like VY, or what? |

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 |

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 |

should be roughly O(log n) checks if it is implemented well |

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 |

just disabled them |
23:43 |

the (former) zombie apocalypse server is getting pretty lagged; it doesn't seem to want to let me on at the moment… |

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 |

prob is every server that runs protection still gets griefed |
23:49 |

dont need false sense of security |

protected buildings are usually safe :-) |

originally i wanted to spawn new players on another realm |
23:54 |

and take the good builders to earth |

yes...only that the good builders may not stay in the first place |
