Time Nick Message
00:00 LinuxGuy2020 Hello I have downloaded and built 0.4.7 on my Debian 7 desktop machine. I want to run the minetest-server on my newly built mini-itx headless server. Im not sure how to run the program as a damon I guess you would call it, where it runs in the background all the time like ftp, ssh, samba does on the same server. I asked in the debian channel but one of the mods is a troll and sent me here.
00:01 * Evergreen dumps a bucket of lava on STHGOM's head
00:01 Evergreen (jk)
00:01 Menche you'd have to make the service file or whatever yourself, i think
00:02 Menche i have cron run the minetestserver command
00:04 LinuxGuy2020 If minetest-server isnt started as a service then it will tie up the terminal until its stopped wont it?
00:05 Menche unless you use cron, nohup, or a multiplexer, yes
00:05 LinuxGuy2020 ok Ill do some more reading on those. Thank you.
00:05 Menche i have cron call a script every minute that starts mintestserver if it isn't already running
00:06 Menche used to use tmux
00:07 STHGOM hi
00:07 Menche this is the script i use: http://pastebin.com/YuFaYvCJ
00:08 Menche (im not sure whether or not i need those exports)
00:09 PilzAdam Menche, AFAIk you dont need "export" when the variable is only relevant in the script
00:09 Menche i kinda thought that; i haven't made a lot of sh scripts
00:10 Menche only recently memorized how to use for loops
00:12 Exio4 PilzAdam: puppy?
00:13 PilzAdam no, nyu is a bad op
00:13 Exio4 he is sleeping
00:13 Exio4 (party time)
00:14 PilzAdam fine
00:15 LinuxGuy2020 Ok cool so "nohup minetest-server" added to the /etc/rc.local seems like it may be the easiest way for me to run the minetest-server as a background process every time the server is started up (if it ever gets shutdown or power outage). This brings up another question. If I have the minetest-server running and people on the local lan are playing, power goes out or whatever that causes the system to have to be restarted, is there any c
00:16 Exio4 what
00:16 Menche if the server suddenly shuts down, and players on will get the message SERVER SHUTTING DOWN
00:16 Exio4 they won't if the server crashes
00:17 Exio4 (the most likely reason of why they get disconnected)
00:17 LinuxGuy2020 Ok sounds good to me. Ill just try it and see how it goes. Thank you guys.
00:21 Menche google thinks i'm using chromium
00:22 Menche (im actually using dwb)
00:22 Menche wonder how they detect that
00:31 khonkhortisan your web browser tells the website
00:31 khonkhortisan through a user agent
00:32 Menche html5test.com gets it right
00:32 Menche whatbrowser.org thinks im using chromium
00:47 STHGOM hello
01:04 LinuxGuy2020 Ok here is an odd question I successfully have a minetest server running using "nohup /path/minetestsever". It starts as root though. Is this the way it should be ran or should a make it run as a normal user?
01:04 ShadowNinja LinuxGuy2020: It should definitely NOT run as root.
01:05 ShadowNinja LinuxGuy2020: Any mods will have total controll over your system.
01:05 LinuxGuy2020 ShadowNinja: happen to know what I need to do in order to get it to run as a new user named "minetest"?
01:06 Menche would "su user command" work?
01:06 ShadowNinja su minetest -c "/path/minetestserver"
01:07 LinuxGuy2020 Ah yes just reading about that. Thanks guys!
01:08 Evergreen I have to do this thing called "sleep". Catch you guys later
01:11 * Menche is attempting to download music from amazon
01:12 Menche apparently you can't from linux
01:12 Menche it seems that now you need a special amazon media player (for windows only, naturally)
01:18 jojoa1997 bbi5
01:21 Menche ...and this amazon media player I need doesn't even work in wine
01:22 * Menche gives amazon an expressive single digit
01:23 Menche wait, maybe it'll work if i get flash
01:23 * Menche doesn't know why he should need flash to download a file
02:05 PilzAdam bye
02:25 VanessaE anyone care to see a dressform I made?
02:26 yyamiyyugi what exactly is vessel for? Like what exactly does it do to a node?
02:28 Menche currently they're just there to provide items for use by mods
02:29 Menche vessels have no use in the default minetest_game currently
02:31 yyamiyyugi like, what can I use it for?
02:31 yyamiyyugi I made my node a vessel but it doesn't seem diffrent in anyway
02:32 Menche you made your node a vessel? what did you do exactly?
02:33 yyamiyyugi atleast i think i did, I added vessel in the groups
02:34 Menche don't think that does anything besides make a new group and put your node in it
02:34 yyamiyyugi oh :/
02:35 VanessaE originally I wrote them to use with unified dyes, but they've since been obsoleted.
02:36 yyamiyyugi ok, just playing around with the groups and stuff and couldn't figure out what it did XD
03:40 Mossmanikin bye, later
04:31 Vazon dang it Smellys not on
04:31 Vazon Miner_48er are you there
04:31 Miner_48er yes
04:31 Vazon im so ticked
04:32 Vazon Miner go to the #vazon
04:32 Miner_48er on what?
04:33 Vazon her
04:33 Vazon here
06:17 Miner_48er any kill cmd mods?
06:18 Menche huh?
06:21 Miner_48er or spawn mods?
06:22 Menche i had one called inventorywarp
06:22 Menche one function was to suicide
06:23 Menche (at least i think it was inventorywarp that provided that)
06:24 Mr_Round hey?
06:24 Menche hello
06:24 Menche irc's kinda quiet right now
06:24 Mr_Round can some one tell me how to fix the lag when placeing blocks?
06:25 Menche singleplayer or multiplayer?
06:25 Mr_Round always single
06:25 Mr_Round lol i dont do mullti
06:25 Menche try adding "disable_anticheat = true" to minetest.conf
06:25 Menche or saying "/set disable_anticheat true"
06:26 Mr_Round going to test it
06:27 Mr_Round okay it didnt seem to help it any
06:28 Mr_Round lol nope
06:28 Menche try adding the settings here to minetest.conf: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=1825
06:28 Menche it says it's for a server; your technically running a local server in singleplayer
06:29 Menche did you quit minetest completely before editing the conf file? iirc minetest saves on shutdown
06:29 Mr_Round yes
06:30 e1z0 morning
06:31 Mr_Round thats fixed it i think
06:32 Mr_Round okay u guys are awesome. how about the png interlace thing
06:34 Menche the PNG warning? it's harmless
06:34 Menche idk what it's for, but i notice it alot
06:34 Mr_Round png warning: Interlace handleing should be turned on when useing
06:34 Menche yeah that
06:34 Mr_Round yeah im trying to get a smoother set up
06:34 Mr_Round i do apprecieate the help tho dude
06:35 Mr_Round any thing else i should do. i did the fps thing
06:36 Menche fps thing?
06:36 Mr_Round Minimum FPS = 60 wanted_fps = 100 fps_max = 500
06:37 Menche i don't see any reason to move the cap above 60, as my monitor only refreshes that fast
06:37 Mr_Round so you think it should all be 60?
06:37 Menche idk
06:38 Menche i don't usually change that
06:38 Mr_Round yeah well minecraft java bs annoys me
06:38 Menche i usually enable mip-mapping and anisotropic filtering
06:38 Menche really, really cuts down noise in the distance
06:39 Mr_Round so just turn those on?
06:39 Menche yeah
06:39 Menche iirc minecraft doesn't have either
06:39 Menche if it takes a while to start the game, disable Preload item visuals
06:40 Mr_Round yeah i have that off already
06:41 Mr_Round okay another problem i have is it dont safe my levels
06:41 Menche ?
06:42 Mr_Round like every time i leave and come back the blocks placed are gone like i didnt do any work
06:42 Menche you mean it's not saving your worlds?
06:42 Mr_Round seems so
06:42 Menche does it give you warnings about map saving being disabled?
06:42 Mr_Round ill cheak
06:43 Mr_Round nope
06:44 Menche hmm, are you sure that you don't have any other instances of minetest running?
06:44 Mr_Round yeah im 87% sure
06:45 Mr_Round okay theres only one client open block place and its not saving
06:45 Menche does the world folder contain a file called "map_meta.txt" and if so does that file contain anything?
06:46 Mr_Round in both worlds
06:46 Mr_Round im going to try to remove/delete the world start a new
06:46 Menche yeah try that, im out of ideas
06:48 Mr_Round lol it spawns me in randoms
06:48 Menche you were just spawning in different places?
06:48 Mr_Round yeah
06:49 Menche you can change that by setting "static_spawnpoint = x,y,z" in your minetest.conf
06:49 Mr_Round how do i get the chords
06:50 Menche F5
06:51 Mr_Round \do i need the chords? or just the static_spawn thing
06:51 Menche you set static_spawn to the coords you want to spawn at
06:54 Mr_Round lol i must be doing it wrong lol
06:54 Menche what did you set it to?
06:55 Mr_Round 16.3,1.5,8.9
06:55 Menche should work
06:56 Mr_Round is theree a /setspawn kinda deal?
06:56 Menche no
06:56 Menche well, you can "set static_spawnpoint x,y,z"
06:56 Menche */set
06:57 Mr_Round yay lol that worked
06:58 Mr_Round okay now on minecraft i have the tmi mod is there a = to that for minetest
06:58 Mr_Round and is there a fix for the directx9 thing i dont like my gl card much
07:00 Menche what is the tmi mod?
07:00 Mr_Round like has a searchbar for items/blocks
07:00 Mr_Round it also give you the block id and what not
07:01 Mr_Round has a all the blocks like minetest does but in a larger string to soo more blocks
07:01 Menche searching in the world or the inventory?
07:01 Mr_Round well its mostly a Op tool for building in creative
07:02 Menche what is it exactly? like a search bar in the creative inv?
07:02 Mr_Round yeah pretty much
07:03 Menche i think there was something like that but i forget the name
07:03 Calinou TMI = Too Many Items
07:03 Mr_Round yes lol
07:03 Calinou unified_inventory lets you search in items
07:03 Calinou https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=3933
07:03 Mr_Round its clean right?
07:04 Calinou clean?
07:04 Menche may want to re-enable preload item visuals if you use unified inv
07:04 Menche or it'll take a while to open
07:04 Calinou I don't use it and it works fine
07:05 Calinou you may have to wait 2-4 seconds the first time you open inv or switch a page
07:05 Mr_Round ok
07:07 Mr_Round thats what i needed for that and is there a world edit wand? like instead of useing the /pos2 i can click and right click
07:07 Menche type //p set
07:07 Menche then punch the corners
07:08 Mr_Round oh and it will do 1 and 2?
07:08 Menche you punch both corners after //p set
07:09 Menche what directx9 thing were you asking about?
07:10 Mr_Round well i would like to use directx instead of opengl2.1 and it gives me a error
07:10 Menche you need a build that supports directx
07:11 Mr_Round well isnt it suported on 4.7?
07:11 Menche there's a few sticky topics in General Discussion that have builds
07:11 Menche it depends on the compiler
07:11 Mr_Round im on windows
07:12 Mr_Round so i would need a .exe im not to savey on doing that on windows at the moment
07:12 Menche windows builds can be made with visual c++ or mingw; i believe only builds from visual c++ support directx
07:12 Menche a few people have made builds
07:12 Mr_Round is there a 4,7 build?
07:13 Menche looks like most 3rd party builds are of the latest development version
07:14 Mr_Round 3rd party.... would be a clean install?
07:14 Mr_Round like why 3rd party open sourced garbage people who think they know what there doing but dont
07:14 Mr_Round ....?
07:15 Menche don't think they have code modifications, just 3rd party builds of the official code
07:16 Mr_Round link for a directx9 set up... im doing all this for my nephews bday present.
07:16 Mr_Round would i have uninstall the one i have on here now
07:17 Menche they're run-in-place, they aren't really "installed"
07:17 Menche but it's a different installation
07:18 Mr_Round so a folder and a... sh or a bat exucuteable? kindalike a portable version?
07:18 Menche a folder with a .exe executable
07:18 Menche in the bin/ folder
07:19 Mr_Round so the install i have now would be safe just have a folder on my desktop kinda like windows version of nestopia?
07:19 Menche yeah. idk what nestopia is but you'd run it from wherever you put the folder
07:20 Menche https://forum.minetest.net/viewforum.php?id=3
07:20 Mr_Round you got a link for this? if i could put it in a flash or a sd card and have it ware ever
07:20 Menche that's the General Discussion forums, look at the stickies at the top
07:21 Mr_Round okay
07:21 Menche BlockMen says his supports directx
07:21 Menche iirc Fess's does too and is 64-bit
07:22 Mr_Round blockman? so look for his name on the stick
07:23 Menche https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=6727
07:23 Menche that one
07:23 Mr_Round thank i just read that one and click download when u sent the link
07:25 Mr_Round i cant just copy the config i have already made right?
07:26 Menche you can
07:26 Mr_Round awesome imma try it
07:26 Menche and the world folder too
07:29 Mr_Round and the texture all
07:32 Mr_Round im getting a access violation....

15:18 yyamiyyugi whats up
15:19 kahrl !up linuxgaming.us
15:19 MinetestBot linuxgaming.us:30000 is up (507ms)
15:20 sfan5 plol
15:22 GNADev|zRokh hi
15:31 yyamiyyugi is there a way I can play a sound only for a certain player?
15:38 Sokomine it takes a considerate amount of time to load the world...of a server
15:38 Sokomine based on the amount of data i get, it can't be slow network connection
15:38 Calinou yyamiyyugi: you can, as far as I know
15:38 Calinou see lua_api.txt
15:38 Calinou Sokomine: you mean, to connect to a server?
15:39 Calinou by default, mods are downloaded directly from server, not from web
15:39 yyamiyyugi I mean like, the player presses somthing they hear a sound
15:39 IceCraft Hello
15:39 Sokomine no, to get the map data from a server
15:39 Sokomine i'm trying to save as much of redcrabs server as i can
15:40 yyamiyyugi is there a way to do that client side, like say I pressed a gui thing, would i beable to get a sound from the players client instead of the server (so they would be able to use it on any server or add their own sounds)
15:41 sapier mods aren't downloaded at all
15:41 sapier only textures and models are downloaded, no difference if their origin is a mod or core
15:43 Sokomine for example, it takes very long to be able to see the eiffel tower on redcrabs server in full - let alone the landscape
15:47 Sokomine right now, it seems i do not have to fear running out of disc space soon.....
15:47 sapier :-)
15:48 sapier how big is the map?
15:49 Sokomine the map as such? extremly big. to my knowledge, more than 10 gb
15:49 Sokomine i do not intend to record all of it. nobody's intrested in abandomed mines
15:49 sapier wow ... any chance to compress it prior transfer?
15:50 Sokomine ...or in places where people went only to get some papyrus (does not regrow there)
15:50 Sokomine right now,now way to get the map as such
15:50 Sokomine sfan5 helped me yesterday and made a slightly modified client version that saves what it downloads :-)
15:51 sfan5 s/downloads/gets sent by the server/
15:51 Sokomine there is no known way to contact redcrab, the server owner. we do not know if the server will continue to exist for more than a week
15:51 sapier oh
15:51 Sokomine yes. and i'm amazed as to how few data that actually is. it takes a long time for the world to built (has been like this before). perhaps the server sends it slowly
15:52 sfan5 Sokomine: redcrabs map can't be bigger thab 4gb if he uses sqlite
15:52 Sokomine the 4gb limit was reached some time ag
15:52 sapier hmmm 1 week is a little bit to short to create a client that uses multiple users for simultanous download
15:53 andersje have you guys tried to contact the owner of the IP of redcrab's server?
15:53 andersje you could do a whois on that, and get the owner of the netblock. since someone is paying for the IP, that registered owner should be able to get hold of the guy paying the bills
15:54 sfan5 whois says "No match for "REDCRAB.SURET.NET"."
15:54 andersje alternately, if redcrab stopped paying, he may be willing to let someone else take over the bill
15:54 andersje it's an amazon IP, in ec2
15:54 sfan5 whois says amazon ec2
15:54 Evergreen I sure hope you can save the redcrab's server, it is the first server I ever played on and I would be devestated if I lost my town and mushroom city
15:55 andersje aes-noc@amazon.com may be able to pass a message along to the guy
15:55 * Sokomine nods to evergreen
15:55 andersje suret.net is a french domain name, registered to emmanuel devaux, each.devaux@gmail.com -- could that be redcrab?
15:56 Sokomine redcrab has been absent for longer periods of time before. the reason cactus suspects that he either has to return or the server will be lost is that it has to be paid again in a week
15:56 Sokomine we did send multiple mails and pns. some seem to have been read (according to the forum), but no reply
15:56 andersje this appears to be redcrab's twitter page: https://twitter.com/redcraby
15:56 Sokomine even if redcrab returns, having a copy of the map would be good
15:56 Sokomine are you sure that's "our" redcrab?
15:57 andersje well, it would make sense...because suret.net is registered by mr. devaux...and this redcrab and mr.devaux were tweeting back and forth
15:57 Calinou sfan5 helped me yesterday and made a slightly modified client version that saves what it downloads :-)
15:57 Calinou such a feature could be added to default game
15:58 andersje that would be an awesome feature.
15:58 Sokomine that's a good argument then
15:58 * Calinou didn't play on redcrab for like 6 months
15:58 Calinou it was always out of data :(
15:58 Calinou date*
15:58 Evergreen Redcrab must be saved, we can't lose it like gameboom was lost
15:59 andersje you guys already found minetestbb.suret.net, right?
15:59 Calinou both servers had great buildings, yeah
16:01 andersje there seems to be some chatter on minetestbb.suret.net, so if anyone has a handle there...there might be contact information for redcrab there.
16:02 Sokomine that's one of the places successful contact happend a few month ago. then there was no reply anymore
16:03 andersje yeah, mr. devaux is probably your best bet then.
16:03 Calinou I didn't see redcrab on IRC since march 2013 or so, at best
16:03 Calinou I don't remember
16:08 PilzAdam thexyz, why is weblate still down?
16:14 RNL hi
16:15 sfan5 "Information I got was DNS for suret expires that date." wat
16:15 sfan5 if the dns expires we have no problem
16:15 sfan5 its not like we can't use IP addresses
16:15 RNL FYI, the translation website linked from the development page on minetest.net is down
16:16 sfan5 RNL: thexyz is supposed to look at that
16:18 thexyz it's up now
16:19 RNL great
16:23 Evergreen By the way, in case we can't get the server back, pm webdesigner with your eamil so you can be a part of a shared folder on dropbox
16:23 Evergreen put all hte screenshots you can take and put them in the according folder
16:24 Sokomine there...happened something. wonder if it was an automatic message
16:24 yyamiyyugi can anyone help me? I'm trying to play a sound to a player upon right clicking my node, but there is an error on line 5 apparently, console says "function arguments expected near ')'" Am I doing the if statement wrong?
16:24 yyamiyyugi (code: http://pastebin.com/BGdYQhdp)
16:25 kahrl yyamiyyugi, in lua and is "and" not "&&"
16:25 yyamiyyugi oh
16:26 yyamiyyugi ok
16:26 yyamiyyugi still has the error
16:26 yyamiyyugi :/
16:27 kahrl try adding quotes around modtest:musicblock
16:27 yyamiyyugi ok
16:27 sfan5 Evergreen: pff.. screenshots, we need the map
16:27 kahrl (I don't know what right_click does so that might be wrong)
16:28 Evergreen Yes, but just in case we can't get the map
16:28 yyamiyyugi i'm not 100% what it does, i would assume it's rightclicking the node
16:29 yyamiyyugi idk, I added quotes, I guess i will have to play with it more

16:50 sapier ok then it's a 30 min task to create a mobf mob with exactly that features
16:50 sapier where to find the model?
16:54 sapier ok if you can provide animation too it'll be way more interesting
17:00 sapier be carefull models tend to become very big with certain ways of animation try to stay <500kb
17:01 sapier ok try to stay < 100kb and at 500kb worst ;-)
17:04 pitriss sfan5: please, where are saved data stored? in game directory?
17:04 sfan5 ./localmap/
17:05 Yepoleb should i discuss bugs here or in the dev channel?
17:06 sapier most ppl in dev are here to if you already know quite exact what happens go to dev if you don't try to get more information here
17:07 Yepoleb ok, thanks
17:08 pitriss sfan5: ok ty
17:09 sapier john try b3d export format if it's ok without animation .x format is way to big
17:15 Yepoleb i'm trying to replace the menu header, but i can't find a way to do that, because it always gets loaded from minetest_game/menu/header.png
17:15 PilzAdam Yepoleb, the one in the Singleplayer tab is taken from the game, the other tabs use the one in the texture pack
17:16 Yepoleb well, that's the only one you usually see
17:20 Yepoleb it should be possible to replace that one as well
17:20 sapier Yepoleb it is
17:21 sapier if there's a file called _menu_.png in your texturepack this overrides the default game one
17:21 sapier wait
17:22 sapier ok should work if I haven't missed something in code try it
17:26 Yepoleb i used the filename minetest_game_menu_header.png and it doesn't work
17:27 RNL How can I start minetest in a different language (Linux Mint, Ubuntu derative)?
17:28 PilzAdam RNL, LANG=de bin/minetest
17:28 PilzAdam (that would be german)
17:29 PilzAdam Yepoleb, try minetest instead minetest_game for the gamename
17:29 sapier if it's slightly above 500kb no problem but 1mb will be to big
17:29 PilzAdam +of
17:29 RNL That does not seem to do the trick on my system...
17:29 PilzAdam RNL, what language do you want?
17:29 Yepoleb doesn't work either
17:30 RNL PilzAdam, I'm trying dutch (nl), but de does not work either
17:30 PilzAdam Yepoleb, does it work with minimal?
17:30 Yepoleb how can i reload the tp the easiest way?
17:30 PilzAdam RNL, your system language is dutch too?
17:31 RNL PilzAdam, no, my system LANG is en_US.UTF-8
17:31 PilzAdam does your Minetest build have gettext support?
17:32 RNL PilzAdam, not sure, I used http://ppa.launchpad.net/minetestdevs/stable/ubuntu
17:32 Yepoleb it doesn't work with minimal
17:32 thexyz "language" option in minetest.conf
17:33 thexyz I forgot to add it to changelog, will do
17:33 PilzAdam thexyz, he uses the stable PPA
17:33 thexyz lol http://dev.minetest.net/index.php?title=Changelog&curid=366&diff=1513&oldid=1510&rcid=1634
17:33 PilzAdam RNL, in the game, look at the pause menu
17:34 thexyz dutch translation is about 67.3%, maybe less in stable
17:34 RNL PilzAdam, USE_GETTEXT=0
17:34 thexyz oh
17:35 RNL PilzAdam, does that mean I have to compile myself?
17:35 PilzAdam I guess so
17:35 RNL PilzAdam, I thought I might try to add some dutch translations. That's the reason I wanted it to start in dutch :)
17:37 thexyz that'd be very nice
17:37 RNL I'll try :-)
17:38 RNL On another subject, performance on my machine is sometimes a problem. Is that a know issue and is there any work being done at that at the moment?
17:40 RNL #afk
17:42 Calinou not really
17:42 * Jordach is getting ready to supercharge the Minecraft conversion
17:42 Calinou it is a known problem, Minetest won't run on toasters
17:43 * Jordach raids tekkit texture by texture
17:44 andersje what kind of hardware is he trying to run it on?
17:49 RNL I'm running minetest on a AMD Phenom II X4 960T, 16 Gb memory, AMD Radeon 6800 series
17:49 Calinou that should be sufficient, easily
17:50 RNL I should think so
17:50 Calinou 2600K + 570 runs the game with view distance 128 + 4× MSAA + anisotropic filtering on 1920×1080 with at least 60 FPS with a 16× texture pack
17:50 Calinou it's not like Minetest is too demanding :P
17:51 Yepoleb sapier, the texture thing doesn't work
17:51 RNL Maybe it's my local setup
17:51 Yepoleb are you using xfce?
17:51 sapier I know you should suply the texture as separate png file
17:52 Yepoleb ?
17:53 Sokomine sapier: your idea to let multiple people download redcrabs map is not bad. it ought to be possible to merge it later on somehow - after all, even leveldb has some unique index - data mapping - and that ought to be enough (combined with documentation of leveldbs storage system)
17:53 Sokomine how can mapgen for a world be disabled completely?
17:54 RNL I'm using Mint 13 (Maya) MATE
17:54 Yepoleb are you using a special composite manager?
17:54 RNL Not that I'm aware of
17:55 RNL Maybe nfs is the problem
17:55 ShadowNinja Sokomine: It can't, but singlenode set to air is very close.
17:55 RNL how demanding is minetest on disk IO?
17:55 sapier Yepoleb I use blender and export to b3d format
17:56 ShadowNinja Shouldn't be much, mostly just writing to the sqlite3 DB.
17:56 sapier you have to install the b3d export filter to blender i have written this to wiki
17:56 Sokomine yes, singlenode set to air would be helpful. i forgot how to do it. can you tell me the relevant settings, please?
17:57 Sokomine rnl: vanessa is pretty proud of her ssd, and it seems to be faster with one...but if i look at how the data comes in from redcrabs server currently...perhaps it's transmission by avion carrier :-/
17:57 Yepoleb i have a png of the header, why do i need a blender exporter?
17:57 Sokomine so disk io ought to be relatively harmless
17:58 sapier ohhh sorry
17:58 sapier completely different topic :-)
17:58 RNL Sokomine, I have a SSD installed, but some disk locations are network mapped over nfs
17:58 ShadowNinja Sokomine: Check minetest.conf.example.
17:59 sapier no you only have to add a png file with alpha channel
17:59 Yepoleb i just need the file name and location
17:59 RNL gtg, thanks for the info
18:00 Yepoleb the file itself is fine
18:00 sapier filename is _menu_
