04:53 hoodedice Is there a way to increase biome limits?
04:53 hoodedice ie, make em bigger?

05:19 hmmmm :(
05:19 hmmmm foo
05:19 hmmmm I can't seem to get the temperature-decay-with-elevation biome thing working right
05:21 hmmmm what if instead, temperature/humidity selects a biome group which is just the same biome except split up into height segments
05:22 hmmmm so you don't define a biome, you define a biome set
05:22 hmmmm each biome set consists of one or more biomes which have common temperature and humidity points, but have different characteristics based on elevation
05:22 hmmmm maybe this is the way forward
05:24 hmmmm but see all i can do here is talk about the elevation at a point
05:25 hmmmm not the terrain characteristics of the surrounding area
05:26 hmmmm so that means the default biome group with a heat point and humidity point both at, say, 50 is like {dirt ocean, shore, plains, hills, extreme hills}
05:26 hmmmm but "plains" isn't some sort of biome that occurs at a specific height
05:26 hmmmm "plains" is used to describe what the surrounding area is like, e.g. mostly flat and has a low variance
05:28 hmmmm minecraft makes this work by giving each biome an average height, the biome for a specific point is picked based off of temperature and humidity and nothing else, then the average height of that biome is used to influence the terrain
05:28 hoodedice ...
05:28 hmmmm that was my original original approach except it didn't work because of all the vertical cliffs since the noise would be discontinuous
05:28 hoodedice I'm here for paramat too. =|
05:28 hmmmm minecraft skirts around this issue by interpolating the terrain
05:29 hmmmm see that's the thing
05:29 hmmmm minecraft is able to do all this cool stuff because they tailor it to one specific implementation of a thing
05:29 hmmmm they don't make a generic, generalized version of whatever it is
05:29 hmmmm but we have to because minetest is modular, expandable, and reusable
05:30 hoodedice And depends largely on the modding community
05:31 hoodedice Which can be largely summed up in one post: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=8171
05:31 hmmmm minecraft is never going to be able to have the flexibility of minetest.  never.  unless they scrap the entire codebase and then start over from new, at which point they'd be several years behind us
05:31 hmmmm so maybe their biome system works out for them
05:31 hmmmm that's cool, but they're also stuck to one specific map generation paradigm
05:32 hoodedice How about giving a nice form to fill up at gen time to the user
05:32 hoodedice Asking them what percentage of each type of biome they would like?
05:33 hmmmm uh.. sure.
05:33 hoodedice And then only bothering about improving the code of those indiv biomes and making the transitions smoother?
05:33 hoodedice I smell sarcasm
05:34 Miner_48er joined #minetest
05:34 hmmmm so I guess this goes back to the ol' terrain variance variable
05:34 hmmmm sigh
05:35 hmmmm except i never really figured out how to make that work aside from using the persistence noise used to modulate the base terrain
05:35 hoodedice inb4 I decide to change my major
05:35 paramat joined #minetest
05:35 hmmmm so if I use the persistence values and then add on the other types of turbulence noise, like mountains or ridges, based on some sort of ratio
05:36 hmmmm maybe like base noise accounts for 2/5ths, mountain terrain accounts for another 2/5ths, and then ridge terrain accounts for 1/5th of the value
05:36 hmmmm those sound like good weights
05:36 hoodedice Ah paramat
05:36 paramat o/
05:37 hoodedice Please check the logs, hmmm has a lot to say to you
05:37 hoodedice I however, have only two things
05:37 hmmmm i'm mostly just talking to myself
05:37 hoodedice Talking to yourself on an IRC...
05:37 hoodedice I should start doing that
05:37 hmmmm it helps
05:37 paramat hmmmm, can you explain the trouble you're having with temp decay with  height? works well in paragen
05:37 hmmmm I can't get the desired effects
05:37 hoodedice But then again, what am I doing at 12:30 am?
05:38 hmmmm in particular i'm not able to get narrow bands of beach
05:38 paramat hoodie, hmmm doesnt need my help, he's MT's mapgen dev ;)
05:38 hmmmm and of course you can't differentiate between oceans and anything else like that
05:38 hoodedice okay, paramat, A. I used archipelago with your recommended .conf settings but I do get those strips of incorrectly generated dirt
05:39 hoodedice Which is kind of a bummer
05:39 hoodedice (I didn't say that he needed your help, I said 'wants to talk to you'. But then again, nvm)
05:40 paramat i define beach and dunes biomes only on proximity to sea level
05:40 hmmmm so you have special cases for those ibomes?
05:40 hmmmm see that's what I'm avoiding
05:40 paramat yeah
05:40 hmmmm that's so easy to do but you need to hardcode things in
05:41 hoodedice B. I used paragen8, and it is indeed much improved. However, the biomes are way too small to be able to do anything constructive. Is there a way to stretch the biomes so that they occupy larger space? Sorry to disturb your discussion and thanks.
05:41 paramat hoodie, yeah i answered in the forum just now
05:42 hmmmm here's what i did so far http://pastebin.com/4TC8ZSN1
05:42 hoodedice Thanks a lot paramat.
05:42 hmmmm it's not a sophisticated height decay at all
05:42 paramat archipelago will create dirt ridges unless you use 0.4.9dev with the 'nomudflow' flag
05:42 hmmmm paramat, why don't you set the nomudflow flag from within your mod?
05:43 paramat i will but im still using 0.4.8 stable
05:44 hoodedice ok. I think I left that out. =/. Thanks a lot
05:44 hoodedice Later.
05:45 hmmmm so what do you think about my terrain variance idea
05:45 hmmmm i was going to do that originally a long long time ago but i ended up not doing it
05:46 hmmmm that would help determine things like what's a mountain, what are planes, so on, but that won't determine if something is an ocean or not
05:47 paramat i need to reread and ponder what you've written :) ...
05:48 hmmmm there's a balance i need to achieve between complexity and smart design
05:50 hmmmm in short i'd like to find a way that i can do minecraft's f(temperature, humidity) -> (average terrain height range, biome type) kind of mapping
05:50 hmmmm but i already mentioned the problem *for us* with having the biome type influence the terrain itself
05:52 hmmmm agh no wonder why I'm taking so long to fix the biomes, because I never really solved the problem
05:57 paramat BTW id like to see dynamic weather stuff  cleared out of MT if its not going to be developed with high quality, my temp/humidity readouts in 0.4.8 are 0 or -32000
05:59 grrk-bzzt joined #minetest
06:13 ImQ009 joined #minetest
06:21 hmmmm paramat, the 0 is a bug, -32768 is a placeholder value that means weather inactive
06:21 hmmmm enabling weather means enabling finite liquids and all other proller-related things
06:22 paramat thanks, i dont like finite water either (sorry proller)
06:22 hmmmm i wanted to contain proller crap so I made it disable-able
06:22 hmmmm by default it would be on all the time and write useless data to the maps on generation
06:23 hmmmm the mapblocks* i mean
06:24 paramat reread your idea, interesting ... not sure if you are suggesting temp/hum defines the terrain height or not
06:24 paramat that seems backwards to me
06:24 hmmmm that's what minecraft does and it solves all the problems that I'm currently having
06:24 hmmmm but it'd create a new problem
06:25 paramat best i think to design a stone landscape first and let height influence biomes
06:25 hmmmm well yeah that's how it works right now
06:26 paramat in paragen i get rings of biomes as you go up large mountains
06:26 hmmmm but i want to be able to differentiate between ocean, planes, hills, etc.
06:26 paramat and its all so simple ... im lucky to be limited by lua's simplicity and slowness :D
06:26 hmmmm it's too simple
06:27 hmmmm i'm gonna have to do the terrain variance thing for sure
06:27 us_0gb That's sad about the weather. I like the idea of weather, but I don't like finite liquids.
06:28 hmmmm as for the beaches/oceans thing you can't really do that based on terrain variance
06:28 hmmmm that needs to be directly determined by the height at that point
06:29 hmmmm which is basically what exists right now with the biomes with the height_min/height_max parameters
06:29 hmmmm having specific height ranges for biomes removes the possibility of determining biome by lookup table

06:50 rsiska joined #minetest
06:59 Gethiox joined #minetest
07:31 paramat oddly enough im now questioning having temp / humidity decay with height, as this forces all high mountains and floatlands within the atmosphere to be tundra, it would actually be good to have high altitude deserts and jungles, and low altitude tundra ...
07:35 paramat having biomes defined only by 3D noise makes them a small segment of a theoretically infinite pattern, which is closer to celeron55's universality

10:52 PilzAdam Hello everyone!
10:53 LazyJ Howdy, PilzAdam ;)
10:53 PilzAdam who wants to join my anti-spoiler campaign? https://forum.minetest.net/profile.php?id=2443
10:53 Jousway joined #minetest
10:56 LazyJ Hmmm... The "spoiler" is a tool that has been abused but for those that use it responsibly it functions as it should. I'm undecided on the matter atm.
10:57 PilzAdam I havent seen a single spoiler tag that is used for actual spoilers
10:58 PilzAdam its mostly used for formatting, and that is super annyoing since viewers have to click to read
10:58 LazyJ Can the term be changed to something more suitable to it's more responsible use?
10:58 PilzAdam [annoy] would be good ;-)
10:58 Jordach joined #minetest
10:59 PilzAdam Jordach, logs ^
10:59 LazyJ Instead of "spoiler" is there a way to have a... bookmark? or a type of link that takes the reader to another part of the post but only within that post?
11:00 LazyJ So the post's author could create a list of bookmarks at the top of the post, like an index I've seen on wiki's?
11:00 PilzAdam that could be handy for big posts for e.g. mods
11:02 LazyJ The first post on LinuxGaming's thread is quite long. It would be useful to have a section index for posts like that. VanessaE's server's first posts are similar in need.
11:02 LazyJ Need or want? as my dad would ask.

15:17 MinetestBot sfan5: I'll pass that on when PilzAdam is around
15:21 Jordach H
15:21 Jordach AH
15:21 Jordach he wants spoilers disabled
15:21 sfan5 or he wants to get banned
15:22 sfan5 also: http://mg.viewskew.com/mgoblin_media/media_entries/577/untitled.png
15:22 sfan5 that looks nice
15:22 Jordach sfan5, ~7 hours compared to my G6 model (instead of 12 hours to do)
15:22 LazyJ joined #minetest
15:23 sfan5 uhh
15:23 sfan5 >it's still in development, (the 4K standard)
15:23 proller joined #minetest
15:23 sfan5 wut, 4K is not a standard it's a resolution (actually it is like a standard but finished)
15:23 Jordach sfan5, i constructed the model in record time
15:23 PilzAdam joined #minetest
15:24 Jordach PilzAdam, fix yer fuckin sig
15:24 sfan5 >JPEG likes to artifract, (and that's going to be noticeable on 4K)
15:24 sfan5 the higher the resolution the less noticeable are the artifacts
15:24 Jordach sfan5, get a 4K projector
15:24 PilzAdam Jordach, you dont like my anti-spoiler campaign?
15:24 Jordach and scale a 4K image up to 90''
15:24 Jordach PilzAdam, i agree
15:25 sfan5 PilzAdam: spoilers are good (but sometimes used incorrectly)
15:25 PilzAdam s/sometimes/almost always/
15:25 sfan5 also I won't be the person going through all posts and removing spoiler tags
15:25 sfan5 no
15:26 PilzAdam you just have to disable the tag
15:26 PilzAdam maybe alias it to [code] or so
15:26 sfan5 lolno
15:27 sfan5 images are often within spoilers
15:27 sfan5 that will look like the author of the post has no grasp of forum syntax
15:27 PilzAdam then simply ignore the spoiler tag
15:28 sfan5 spoilers can be used to hide away screenshots
15:28 sfan5 I wanted it for that usecase and it works fine
15:28 sfan5 but if someone decides to misuse them it isn't the right way to remove then
15:29 sfan5 if that would apply to the real world we wouldn't have any kitchen knives, baseball bats or nails
15:29 sfan5 we wouldn't have <n> -> <n> would be forbidden
15:31 PilzAdam https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?pid=130173#p130173
15:31 PilzAdam hiding content from users is never good
15:32 sfan5 PilzAdam: I wanted spoilers to be used for hiding away a big pile of screenshots/crafting reciepes one would not prefer to have in their face
15:33 sfan5 just putting 1 screenshot/crafting receipe behind a spoiler is misusing for me too
15:33 PilzAdam read the IRC log in the linked topic
15:33 sfan5 I did
15:33 * Jordach drops the bass on sfan5
15:34 PilzAdam there could be some table of contents, and you could move all the examples / screenshots / whatever at the end
15:34 * sfan5 drops a kitten on Jordach
15:34 sfan5 like I already said it's not good to remove functionality because someone misuses it
15:34 sfan5 that's like removing pickeaxes because griefers use them
15:35 sfan5 >table of contents
15:35 sfan5 we could use mediawiki syntax for the forum then
15:35 PilzAdam the problem mainly exists because we have rather large posts for mods and servers
15:35 PilzAdam a wiki would be better for some of the mods

16:37 Jordach technically the thing is linear
16:37 Jordach the kitten is live until an atom decays

17:27 Calinou surprisingly, some Flash video players turned into HTML 5 ones on some sites

17:27 reactor The sad part of that equation is "some".
17:28 Calinou for me... that's "all", since I barely ever play video.

17:28 reactor The name is confusing, though. They should rename it.

17:32 Calinou and not even a CPMA clone
17:32 Calinou go say to Samual that Xonotic is a CPMA clone
17:32 Calinou he'll almost ban you
17:33 Calinou john_minetest, Tesseract, Sauerbraten, Red Eclipse are not based on Quake at all
17:33 Calinou so, learn your lessons again
17:34 reactor ...most people who criticise UNIX haven't ever been seriously using it.
17:47 PilzAdam I love these kinds of bugs: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=8595
17:47 PilzAdam they repeatedly solve themselves

17:54 Calinou tactical shooters can (somehow) be made by editing variables
17:54 Calinou (doesn't require source code editing, you just need admin access to a server)
17:54 Calinou "Something like Operation Flashpoint or Arma." the problem is, these games require a lot more work on art, usually, and they can cause ethical problems sometimes

20:41 PilzAdam EvergreenTree, the problem is that nobody cares
20:42 EvergreenTree My problem is that #minetest-dev is where pull requests should be mentioned.  So why is that not the case?
20:42 EvergreenTree Sure they may not care, but at least someone can say something
20:42 svv because not everyone is on irc all of the time?
20:42 Gethiox joined #minetest

20:43 svv Oh, I have no idea to be honest. A lot of people idle on irc because they have bouncers.

20:59 PilzAdam nobody seems to care about minetest_game
20:59 domtron joined #minetest
20:59 svv EvergreenTree: did you submit the pull request on Github?
20:59 EvergreenTree Yes, of course
20:59 EvergreenTree I just posted it here
21:00 Jordach PilzAdam, then get the best modders out of the forum access to the minetest_game
21:00 PilzAdam Jordach, why?
21:00 EvergreenTree minetest_game has to be updated
21:00 Jordach because minetest_game is no different to an engine
21:00 EvergreenTree ^ not really true
21:01 Jordach EvergreenTree, then try to base a game without it (most mods need it)_
21:01 EvergreenTree But minetest_game still needs to be maintained
21:01 EvergreenTree minetest_game is sort of an engine, only because it's the default game
21:02 EvergreenTree If it weren't then it is just another set of mods
21:02 PilzAdam I think it would be good to encourage people to make their own games
21:02 Jordach PilzAdam, like anyone will
21:03 PilzAdam I already have a non-minetest_game game
21:03 Jordach because even the wiki says making a mod is easier than making a game
21:03 PilzAdam there are other in the forums
21:03 svv is minetest not going for feature parity with minecraft?
21:03 EvergreenTree Yes, anyone can, but default still needs to be updated and maintained
21:03 EvergreenTree It depends on whether you consider minetest as an engine or a game
21:03 Jordach everything points at the API to extend minetest_game
21:03 PilzAdam svv, not at all, Minetest is a game engine
21:03 PilzAdam Jordach, then the wiki needs to be changed
21:04 EvergreenTree However, most people do not play minetest like it's an engine
21:04 Jordach PilzAdam, start by actually making people want to develop a brand new game
21:04 EvergreenTree ^
21:04 svv I don't doubt that it's a game engine, in the same way that minecraft is an engine with mods.
21:04 Jordach because this is the IDENTICAL problem the 1.8 API for MC faces
21:04 Jordach people will be more interested in making a silly mod rather than a full on game mode
21:04 NekoGloop what 1.8 API
21:05 john_minetest joined #minetest
21:05 NekoGloop ;P
21:05 john_minetest joined #minetest
21:05 Jordach NekoGloop, Minecraft 1.8 SHOULD come with the API
21:05 NekoGloop it won't
21:05 NekoGloop i guarentee it
21:05 EvergreenTree From what I can tell, it never will
21:07 svv Notch doesn't give a fuck about the game, he's ready to slaughter his goose that lays the golden eggs.
21:07 NekoGloop Notch doesn't even work on it
21:07 Jordach but then: the same problem again: people will just fuck around rather than actually make something useful
21:07 NekoGloop he's retired iirc
21:08 NekoGloop well, not retired from making games
21:08 EvergreenTree Yeah, he really doesn't do anything on minecraft
21:08 NekoGloop but retired from minecraft dev
21:13 hoodedice Whatever happened to MC becoming OSS
21:14 Jordach hoodedice, when sales drop off completely (they're down to 10k a day)

21:16 EvergreenTree An opinion I have about minetest being an engine:  Most people who play minetest treat it + minetest_game as one thing

22:06 EvergreenTree I hate having to even get a response from any of them
22:06 EvergreenTree even a bad response

22:07 EvergreenTree I said I hate having to get a response
22:08 EvergreenTree I'm not talking about the pull request in that case
22:08 EvergreenTree When I said "I hate having to get a response" I wasn't talking about the response to the pull request
22:08 PilzAdam nobody is interested in minetest_game, since its a boring game, and any attempt to make it better fails because of people bitching arround
22:08 hoodedice Wow.
22:09 hoodedice Suchh fucking pessimism
22:09 PilzAdam thats why we have a semi-official agreement to not touch it
22:09 Guest34104 How are people able to hack minetest? I run a small server and keep getting hackers. How are they able to do it? Is there any way to prevent it? Somethimes they can fly and other privs seem to be enabled even though they're not. Thanks.
22:09 hoodedice If this is the attitude, I don;t know how we can move ahead?
22:09 PilzAdam hoodedice, all core devs mainly focus on the engine
22:09 EvergreenTree So you expect the stagnant community to create games for you?
22:10 hoodedice Evergreen, actually, yes
22:10 PilzAdam EvergreenTree, not really
22:10 PilzAdam I mostly care about creating an engine
22:10 EvergreenTree what n00b want to find out that the engine doesn't actually come with a playable game?
22:10 PilzAdam and I also create a game myself
22:10 EvergreenTree Well, then someone needs to care about making a playable game for that engine
22:10 EvergreenTree that comes by default
22:10 hoodedice Because that's hat Celeron said himself
22:11 EvergreenTree It is useless developing the engine
22:11 PilzAdam thats your opinion
22:11 EvergreenTree Wait, that came out wrong
22:12 EvergreenTree What I meant is that the engine matters to modders and developers
22:12 EvergreenTree the game matters to people who are just playing to have fun
22:13 Guest34104 How are people able to hack minetest? I run a small server and keep getting hackers. How are they able to do it? Is there any way to prevent it? Somethimes they can fly and other privs seem to be enabled even though they're not. Thanks.
22:14 hoodedice Guest34104, please wait for a reply. PilzAdam!
22:15 PilzAdam Guest34104, hacking Minetest is quite easy
22:15 PilzAdam and the anti-cheat mechanisms on the server are quite simple
22:17 Guest34104 So how do they hack and how do you prevent it?
