00:00 Esteban97 Which type of OS you use? I only seen .sqlite and .mt
00:00 Esteban97 Im a windows user
00:00 SylvieLorxu .db is probably just a SQLite database. Any SQLite viewer should do
00:02 Inocudom Another thing about this mapgen: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=8772
00:02 Esteban97 Thanx for for clarifying SylvieLorxu
00:02 Inocudom It has changing seasons in it, has dirt and sand paths, and works with Carbone and Minetest+.
00:03 Inocudom I wonder if the creator of it will ever come back?
00:03 * Esteban97 waits for screenshots to load
00:05 Esteban97 Nice mod! Im going to download tomorrow, Im going to log out soon...
00:07 Esteban97 When was the last time the player was seen Inocudom?

00:08 Esteban97 Greetings Kaeza!
00:09 Inocudom Gael de Sailly's last post was April 8, 2014.
00:10 Esteban97 What Ive seen, he has time limited on the computer as I, probably may be the same reason he hasnt logged in for a while :P

00:19 Vazon Hello Esteban
00:19 Esteban97 Vaz! How is the server going bro?
00:20 Vazon good, we got the old map back. The one you was building a head on
00:20 Esteban97 nice! sadly I wont be playing in a while :(
00:20 Vazon thats fine
00:20 Esteban97 I/me 's internet is bad
00:21 * Esteban97 facepalms
00:21 Esteban97 fail
00:21 cups o.o
00:21 Esteban97 Hi cups
00:21 Vazon i finally added moreblocks to the darkage mod.
00:21 cups Hello Esteban97 o/
00:22 Esteban97 Vazon I saw lag the last time I entered ( A few weeks ago), you know what caused it?
00:23 Vazon yes your client needs updated. we have 2 that work on the forum
00:23 Esteban97 Ohh, which is a nice build I can get for this simple pc? :)
00:25 Vazon the fezz works great on windows nad the other is for linux, i personaly havent tested it but on of the mini mods has
00:26 Vazon hrmp seems as tho me removing the snow mod is causing more problems then it may have been worth
00:26 Esteban97 yeah, many weather related mods are buggy :P
00:27 Esteban97 Thanks for the suggestion, Ill get it by  tomorrow afternoon, today was my last day at school, And ill get rid of old stuff in the morning
00:27 Vazon ok
00:29 Vazon the server keeps crashing do to the mod no longer being there
00:30 Esteban97 Its that type of mod that kinda stays there... I end up deleting maps due to mods like that .-.
00:30 Esteban97 Well, Im leaving, cya tomorrow, I may not be playing on servers, but you can find me here or at the forums!
00:30 Esteban97 bye!

01:24 Inocudom How do you convert a world from squite to leveldb?
01:25 VanessaE I think the --migrate switch
01:26 Vazon VanessaE after i removed the snow mod, the server will stay upf ro about 5 min then crash
01:26 VanessaE did you get a debug log output of the crash?
01:26 Megaf joined #minetest
01:28 Vazon yes OldCoder said it just says stuff about the mods locked sign and snow, locked sign was removed over a week ago and snow was removed 2 day
01:28 OldCoder Hi
01:29 OldCoder Um
01:29 OldCoder I can paste
01:29 OldCoder Wait
01:29 Vazon Ho, i thought you was taking a nap
01:29 Vazon HI*
01:30 OldCoder Done
01:30 OldCoder Vazon, it's probably just tweaks needed to your _game...
01:30 OldCoder ERROR[ServerThread]: Item "darkage:slab_basalt_cobble" not defined
01:30 OldCoder ERROR[ServerThread]: Item "throwing:arrow" not defined
01:30 OldCoder ERROR[main]: The following mods could not be found: "locked_sign" "snow"
01:30 OldCoder It's mostly stuff like that
01:31 Vazon that last error is what is crashing
01:31 Vazon hold on i may have a idea
01:31 OldCoder ERROR[ServerThread]: Item "snow:moss" not defined
01:31 OldCoder etc.
01:32 Vazon ya, im going to have the snow made back in but have all magen disabled
01:32 zat fdsadsdfsafdfsafdfsadfasdfsafdsa hi all
01:33 Vazon ok Coder its on there just add it to the mods and lets see if that fixes it
01:36 VanessaE wb zat :)
01:37 zat :)
01:37 Vazon (:)
01:37 zat VanessaE: there is a bug in the mod of the mod though...
01:37 VanessaE you bwoke it!!!!!!1one
01:37 VanessaE :)
01:37 zat saplings dont disappear and the tree grows one square over the tree
01:37 zat happens for some trees
01:37 zat (lol)
01:37 VanessaE yeah, that' something that plants_lib handled
01:38 zat but I am sure there was a delete_node call before installing the tree
01:38 zat ahhhhhhh no no I think that I know what it is
01:38 VanessaE there was.
01:38 VanessaE plants_lib's grow call deletes the node first
01:38 VanessaE that's why it worked before :)
01:38 zat I am not calling remove_node for the ones without grow_* function!!!!!
01:38 VanessaE just set_node(pos, {name="air"})
01:39 zat minetest.remove_node better
01:39 zat semantically correcter
01:39 VanessaE same thing, one is an alias to the other
01:39 zat looks cuter
01:39 zat sweeter
01:42 VanessaE heh

01:47 VanessaE again?
01:47 VanessaE I thought that was fixed already
01:48 Don joined #minetest
01:49 MagicFab_ VanessaE, sorry, just noticed I wa susing the old wiki.
01:49 MagicFab_ Perhaps it'd be nice to disable user registration there! :)
01:50 VanessaE derp :)
01:52 zat Is there a way to make decorations to spawn following a certain pattern inside a biome?
01:52 zat so not all the biome is covered with it, only certain portions, maybe specified by noise?
01:53 MagicFab_ I was working on this document: The link has been moved to http://wiki.minetest.net/Setting_up_a_server/Debian

02:23 Megaf VanessaE; again? When was the last time you did?
02:23 VanessaE Megaf: earlier this month :-P
02:23 Megaf VanessaE; ah, not bad
02:24 Megaf you can have a pizza twice a month, or 3 times
02:24 VanessaE Megaf: pizza is expensive :-/ and high in carbs
02:32 VanessaE /me dives head-first into said pizza, which just arrived
02:32 VanessaE fek
02:34 GrimKriegor joined #minetest
02:38 Megaf VanessaE; carbs arent bad at all
02:38 Megaf bad is how little people usually move on a daily basis
02:39 Megaf get you body moving
02:39 VanessaE carbs are bad for you in excessive amounts.
02:39 VanessaE my body moves as much as my arthritis allows
02:40 Megaf Can't you even ride a bicicle?
02:40 VanessaE nope
02:40 Megaf or bycicle, ou bicycle
02:40 Megaf hm
02:41 Megaf you need a better medic then
02:41 Megaf And that may be really hard to find
02:41 * Megaf is a cyclist
02:41 VanessaE bad arthritis + bad heart = I can only use surgery (which I've had) and my diet to control my weight.  Those have been working well so far, today's just taking a break.
02:42 cheapie joined #minetest
02:42 Megaf well, you should get moving
02:43 Megaf walk just a little maybe
02:43 Megaf 4 minutes a day
02:43 Megaf two walks of two minutes
02:43 VanessaE you try carrying 170 kg around and see how easy it is to "get moving:
02:43 Megaf the human body absolutely hate to stand still
02:43 Megaf it gets fat and ill very quick
02:44 Megaf I gained 10 Kg in one year
02:44 Megaf I', 1,78 meters tall and used to weight 58 Kg
02:44 VanessaE I have a fucked up heart that can't peak over ~140 bpm, and can't sustain more than ~110 bpm because of a messed up valve
02:44 VanessaE what you suggest is simply not possible for me.
02:44 Megaf then I stoped riding my bike, now I weight 70 kg
02:45 Megaf VanessaE; aha, a messy valve
02:45 Megaf I was born with a couple of messed valves
02:45 Megaf they were sure I would die
02:45 Megaf I was one year old and was at the operating table
02:45 VanessaE as was I.
02:45 VanessaE aortic stenosis
02:45 Megaf huge surgery
02:46 Megaf they cut me from my back to my chest
02:46 VanessaE surgery is not an option yet, doctors don't think it's severe enough
02:46 VanessaE :-/
02:46 Megaf VanessaE; problem is, the risks,
02:47 Megaf I get you pain, but you should get moving. move your arms and legs a little, while on the bed or chair
02:47 Megaf make your heart work a little
02:47 VanessaE I walk up/down stairs at least 2-3 times every say and I bowl on the wii.
02:47 VanessaE that's as much as I can do.
02:48 Megaf if you find that's two hard so walk a little less or little slower
02:48 Megaf but never stop walking
02:48 Megaf I'm not saying, go and run 10 miles
02:48 Megaf I'm saying, move, as much as you can
02:49 Megaf not more than you can
02:49 VanessaE I already do.
02:49 Megaf good
02:49 VanessaE every day gets a little easier but I'm already at my limit as it is.
02:50 Megaf I wouldnt say every day, maybe it takes a week or month to get a positive result, if any
02:50 Megaf Just please, don't stop
02:50 Megaf :)
02:50 Megaf you are quite special, talented and clever
02:51 Megaf And I'm quite boring sometimes :P
02:51 VanessaE I don't plan to stop :)
02:51 Megaf VanessaE; by the way, whos that guy on your website?
02:52 Megaf Quite a nice man
02:52 VanessaE which guy?
02:52 VanessaE link please
02:52 Megaf http://digitalaudioconcepts.com/abe/index-abe.html
02:53 Megaf oh
02:53 VanessaE Yep, that's who I thought you meant.  That's my husband, Abe.
02:53 VanessaE (I presume you meant his photo on the landing page :) )
02:53 Megaf husband, lovely
02:53 VanessaE http://digitalaudioconcepts.com/vanessa/wedding/index.html
02:53 VanessaE more pics there.
02:53 VanessaE (from back in 2006)
02:53 Megaf you both are special, I really liked the website,
02:54 Megaf you must not change it
02:54 Megaf it has its charm
02:57 Megaf VanessaE; cool, you are into electronics too
02:57 VanessaE was
02:57 Megaf oh
02:57 VanessaE I don't do much electronics stuff anymore really
02:58 VanessaE not really any call for it
02:58 Megaf It's fun
02:58 BrandonReese joined #minetest
02:58 VanessaE I mean I don't really need to much anymore
02:59 Megaf run minetestserver on you C64
02:59 VanessaE a little soldering to patch a cable here or there once in a while, etc
02:59 VanessaE oh yeah, sure
02:59 VanessaE hah
02:59 VanessaE your little Odroid is about 1000x faster than a C64 :)
02:59 Megaf I bet you could run a striped down version of minetest server
02:59 Megaf get an old release, like 0.2
03:00 Artemis3 in 64k or ram?
03:00 Artemis3 thats what the 64 stands for you know :)
03:00 Megaf VanessaE; expand its memory to 32 MB
03:00 Megaf and sure it will be able to run
03:00 VanessaE Megaf: my C128 has 34 MB worth of expansions.
03:00 Megaf just need a lot of change on the code and maybe some assemnly
03:01 VanessaE (4Gb hard disk also, and 128MB SSD, which for a Commodore 8-bit machine is a ton of storage)
03:01 Megaf I have a Microdigital Tk2000 VanessaE, It's a clone of the Apple II hardware and some Atari case
03:02 VanessaE nice
03:02 Megaf if you google tk2000 you may find several photos of my own tk2000
03:03 VanessaE TK2000 - America's Muzzleloader. Knight Muzzleloaders ...
03:03 VanessaE um, nope.avi :)
03:03 VanessaE jk
03:03 VanessaE I see the computer in question
03:05 VanessaE an interesting idea would be a minetest client for the C64 though :)
03:06 Megaf could work too,
03:06 Megaf but really low res
03:07 VanessaE well I don't think you're gonna cram unified inventory into 320x200 :D
03:08 Megaf wow, its really hard to find photos of my tk now a days
03:08 Megaf it was much easier back in 2005

03:39 Megaf Hows things?
03:39 Vazon hows your day going?
03:39 Vazon there good, a few extra problems but are fixed now
03:41 Megaf my days been good, I optimzed my minetestserver for really low end hardware and they run quite smooth now
03:41 Megaf I gave a try to freeminer too, well, attemped to give a try, it wouldnt even compile, it needs LevelDB to compile and work! What a bummer!
03:42 Vazon thats good. i spent a few ours to make the darkage mod compatible with the moreblocks mod and fixing other stuff as well
03:43 Vazon hours*
03:55 Megaf sounds like a lot of work
03:57 zat goonight

06:45 LazyJ VanessaE, I saw your recent post on Splizzard's "Snow" mod. Any ideas where in his mapgen code the problem may be?
06:46 LazyJ And does it matter if it is mapgen v6 or v7?
06:47 VanessaE LazyJ: I have not looked at the code but my first guess is he uses a voxelmanip to read the map, and then writes it *after* plants_lib tries to modify the map
06:47 VanessaE mapgen v6
06:47 VanessaE idk what happens in mgv7
06:47 JamesTait joined #minetest
06:48 LazyJ I wish paramat would take a look at this. He seems to have a firm grasp on lua mapgen.
06:48 VanessaE so he reads a plain, clean map, modifies it for snow, but then plants_lib wants to modify *the map itself*, but snow mod writes the vmanip back, erasing everything plants_lib just did
06:48 LazyJ I can code a colored box but mapgen is way beyond my simple understanding of Lua.
06:48 VanessaE that's my guess
06:49 LazyJ The Snow mod has been on our server for a long time so it's an issue of concern.
06:49 VanessaE the solution here would be to either get snow mod to do everything first before any of plants_lib's calls are done, or to force it to wait until after all of plants_lib.  one or the other
06:49 LazyJ I've recently installed MoreTrees and PlantLife.
06:50 LazyJ The only way to get the trees and plants to do their thing was to disable Snow's mapgen.
06:50 VanessaE yeah :-/
06:50 VanessaE that's part of why I use snowdrift on my servers
06:50 LazyJ It can be re-enabled when more snow biomes are needed but that's a PITA to do each time.
06:51 VanessaE (and mostly because, well, snow biomes mod is kinda useless for parts of the map that have already been generated :) )
06:51 LazyJ I've been making tweaks to the Snow mod over time. It's gotten to the point where I've been wondering if I should make a separate, mapgen-less, fork.
06:52 VanessaE might be a good idea
06:52 VanessaE your changes might find their way back into mainline
06:52 LazyJ But on the other hand, I would very much like to see the Snow mod refreshed with other coders contributing their talents to fix it's aged issues.
06:52 VanessaE I just hope Splizard sees my post
06:53 LazyJ Is there any info on magpen to start learning from?
06:53 VanessaE read through plants_lib's API :D
06:53 VanessaE it's more powerful tha nthe default mapgen hooks
06:53 LazyJ I know paramat says it's simple, but that's like a rocket scientist saying "math" is simple to a kindergartener. :/
06:53 VanessaE (and wloer, by necessity)
06:53 VanessaE slower*
06:54 LazyJ I have no idea what a "hook" is... other than the type used in fishing.
06:54 VanessaE https://github.com/VanessaE/plantlife/blob/master/API.txt
06:54 VanessaE a "hook" is what I call a piece of code that you can call to register something to take place later
06:54 VanessaE like a callback
06:55 VanessaE think on_punch or on_place_node or so
06:55 VanessaE in the old days, we'd call it a wedge
06:56 LazyJ If I were to post my tweaks to Splizzard's "Snow", what is the proper way to go about it?
06:56 LazyJ I don't want to take over the mod.
06:57 VanessaE so when you call one of plants_lib's functions like register_generate_plant(), it sets up an action that will take place then next time the map generator emerges a brand new block on the map somewhere - you've "hooked into" the map generator
06:57 VanessaE just fork his mod, post your changes to your fork, and post a message in his thread that you have some changes you'd like him to look at.
06:58 nman3600 joined #minetest
06:58 VanessaE ....and when that action takes place, the map generator will call plants_lib's functions, and plants_lib will do whatever your hook said to do, like grow a tree or place some grass.
06:58 LazyJ Ok. What about the block-types I've added? Should I start a new thread or continue in Splizzard's thread? What's the best way to keep this all together?
06:59 nman3600 heyo
06:59 LazyJ Together without confusing and making matters worse.
06:59 VanessaE continue it.
06:59 LazyJ Ok.
07:00 VanessaE just keep it all together, no one will get confused if you document carefully what you added, and why, and how those new objects are generated and used.
07:00 LazyJ So a "hook" is/was also called a "wedge".
07:00 VanessaE those are words that I use, yes.  They come from the old days
07:00 LazyJ Is a "callback" the same or have a different term?
07:00 VanessaE same sort of thing but with a different mechanism
07:01 LazyJ Part of my struggles is the terminology.
07:01 LazyJ And then the shorthand, and lingo...
07:01 VanessaE register_on_generated() I believe is considered a callback
07:01 LazyJ Ok, so if I see "wedge" in my Lua books, then I'll know that translates into MT's lingo "hook".
07:02 VanessaE you won't see "wedge" in those books :)
07:02 VanessaE I'm talking 1980's here ;)
07:02 LazyJ I've read about callbacks, but I don't grasp them yet.
07:02 VanessaE minetest's lingo is "callback"
07:02 VanessaE I call them "hooks" because you "hook into" the code to make it do more
07:03 LazyJ Heheheh... I'm very low budget so some of my references are old and cheap. ;)
07:03 VanessaE when you use those callback features, you're telling the engine you want it to "call you back" when an action occurs,
07:03 VanessaE just like asking the front desk to give you a call in the morning to wake you up
07:03 VanessaE at a motel
07:04 VanessaE when the event occurs (it's 6:00 am), the hotel clerk rings your phone (calls you back) to wake you up :)
07:04 VanessaE and you execute some action (get your lazy ass out of bed and go take a shower)
07:04 VanessaE ;)
07:04 LazyJ Hmm... so are these callbacks continuously loaded in memory?
07:04 VanessaE yep
07:04 VanessaE for as long as there are new blocks being generated, those callback are being run
07:05 VanessaE when new mapblocks stop being created, e.g. the mapgen goes idle, those callbacks stop being run and your mapgen code goes idle as well
07:05 LazyJ So the more callbacks there are, added to the ABM's, the more the cpu has to work and the more the memory gets set aside for something that isn't being used all the time.
07:05 VanessaE that's correct
07:06 VanessaE but the total amount of memory set aside is miniscule
07:06 VanessaE the amount of CPU used depends on the complexity of your code
07:06 LazyJ Is that just the way it is or is there something that can be done in the Lua scripts to be better at memory and cpu usage?
07:07 VanessaE in the case of memory, not really.  just be caseful with your code.  don't go allocating shitloads of variables and populating huge tables.
07:07 VanessaE the memory used for the code is next to nothing.
07:07 VanessaE CPU usage just depends on how complex your code is
07:07 VanessaE e.g. long loops, complex math, etc etc
07:09 Jousway joined #minetest
07:10 VanessaE same as with any other program really
07:10 VanessaE like in an ABM,
07:10 troller joined #minetest
07:11 VanessaE let's say you're matching on grass with air next to it,
07:11 VanessaE if all you wanna do is add a node, your CPU usage for that ABM will mostly depend on your chance and interval values
07:11 VanessaE because the act of adding that node will take almost zero time (literally, microseconds)
07:12 VanessaE whereas, if you're gonna go modifying the whole landscape, say replacing grass with snow, you're gonna chew up a LOT of CPU there because of the long loops needed to do a search-and-replace
07:12 VanessaE (and of course you'd want to do that in a mapgen call, not an ABM)
07:15 * VanessaE pokes LazyJ
07:15 VanessaE tl;dr? ;)
07:16 LazyJ Sorry, Dear Cat had an emergency.
07:16 LazyJ She's elderly with elderly problems.
07:16 VanessaE aw ;(
07:16 LazyJ Uhm... dunno what tl;dr? means.
07:17 VanessaE "too long; didn't read"
07:17 VanessaE I was asking you if I was blathering on too long ;)
07:17 LazyJ Heehehe... nope.
07:18 LazyJ I've got a reputation for walls-o-text on our server.
07:19 LazyJ So what is the next step if Splizzard isn't interested in working on this mapgen conflict?
07:19 LazyJ This has been brought up a few times in the extensive past and very little has been done.
07:19 VanessaE writing a new snow mod that works like snow biomes that's compatible with plants_lib ;)
07:19 LazyJ Great!
07:20 LazyJ When are *you* going to get started. ;)-
07:20 * LazyJ ducks under his rock.
07:20 * VanessaE hides
07:20 VanessaE it's easy enough to make plants_lib do it ;)
07:20 LazyJ So mapgen stuff is that onerous.
07:21 LazyJ As we are chatting I'm scrolling through Snow's mapgen_v6.lua file.
07:22 LazyJ What would be the political ramifications of using plans_lib to take over Snow's mapgen?
07:24 VanessaE nothing at all
07:24 VanessaE it will be slow though
07:25 VanessaE I'm not sure if you'll be able to make it run at the same speed as the original though
07:26 LazyJ Speed vs compatibility.
07:26 VanessaE (I've never tried modifying large portions of the map with plants_lib)
07:27 VanessaE but look at undergrowth modpack, woodsoils mod
07:27 VanessaE it does stuff like that
07:27 LazyJ This wouldn't be an issue if neither of the mods were used together but that's not the case.
07:27 VanessaE it replaces grass with a grassy-leafy node
07:27 VanessaE under the trees that ois
07:27 VanessaE is
07:27 LazyJ Despite Snow's bugs and lack of maintenance it is still a desired mod.
07:27 VanessaE yeah
07:28 VanessaE this means we need to change plants_lib into biomes_lib
07:28 VanessaE since it clearly handles more than just plants.
07:28 LazyJ I say that in some frustration with Minetest in general. Cranky old fart that I am. ;)-
07:28 VanessaE haha
07:28 LazyJ There are good pieces-parts scattered.
07:30 LazyJ If they could be sorted, refined, and then incorporated into a main part, component... whatever so there is less time spent trying to figure out the scattered bits and more time spent on improving the mods that depend on it.
07:31 LazyJ Slower mapgen may just have to be a factor that we deal with for the trade-off having things work right.
07:31 LazyJ Faster is not always better.
07:32 LazyJ And if snow biomes could be placed, seeded and grown, maybe that would be a better alternative.
07:32 VanessaE true
07:32 LazyJ One of my long-time gripes about the Snow mod is having snow covered jungles.
07:33 VanessaE one thing that needs done with plants_lib is make it properly respect v6 jungles if we can figure that out, and figure out some way to re-sort the registered biomes and decorations so that fewer actual mapgen hooks need be used to get the job done
07:33 LazyJ If I could place a seed block or boundary blocks in a portion of the map that I want to become a snow biome, that would address the mis-match issue.
07:33 VanessaE this may require dropping some features from the plants_lib API to speed it up
07:33 VanessaE (not sue)
07:33 VanessaE (not sure*)
07:34 VanessaE that's an interesting idea for sure
07:34 LazyJ paramat's understanding of perlin, temp, humidity may shine some light on clues.
07:35 LazyJ Ok, *now* I check to see if he is even logged in to even notice his name being used.
07:35 LazyJ Maybe his ears are getting warmer where ever he is. ;)-
07:35 VanessaE his last post was several days ago I think?
07:35 LazyJ If default snow could creep like flowers and grass.
07:35 VanessaE oh
07:35 VanessaE last month
07:35 VanessaE April 11
07:36 LazyJ Currently in the snow mod, ice is formed when within 1 block of specified blocks but not ice itself.
07:37 LazyJ If snow (the fluffy stuff, not the mod) could grow, creep similarly then that might be a key to seeding an area.
07:38 LazyJ neighbors = dirt, dirt_with_grass
07:38 LazyJ Spread across those till a certain temp or humidity is encountered then stop.
07:39 VanessaE right
07:39 CraigyDavi_ joined #minetest
07:39 VanessaE but only for snow that's been generated in the map
07:39 LazyJ The pine trees could be coded to only grow on dirt_with_snow or if surrounded by snow. Similar to wheat and cotton growing on tilled soil in "Farming".
07:40 VanessaE or a special seed node, but not regular snow that was placed
07:40 LazyJ A seed node could be placed and then the "drop" line be set to return regular snow or dirt or cobble or whatever.
07:40 LazyJ That way players couldn't run off with them and then use them to grief another player's area.
07:41 VanessaE right
07:42 LazyJ Of course this means server ops or admins will have to place then snow biome seeds and "tend the garden" for a while.
07:42 LazyJ The "epic awesome" insta-matic button feature just wouldn't work. ;)-
07:43 VanessaE heh
07:43 VanessaE I dunno
07:43 LazyJ Unless... WorldEdit could be used somehow.
07:43 VanessaE if coded right, it might work
07:44 LazyJ Ugh... I can grasp "neighbors" and some growth but the temp/humidity stuff is beyond me.
07:44 VanessaE I have to give some thought tomorrow about transitioning from plants-oriented to generic biome-oriented.
07:44 LazyJ There is a thread on the forums asking how to determine the surface of the map.
07:45 LazyJ I wonder if that holds the clue to how to constrain the snow fall to only snow biome areas.
07:45 VanessaE plants_lib does it the hard way. I search for a known surface node (dirt with grass) using find_nodes_in_area() and then iterate through that list looking for nodes that are bounded by air.
07:45 LazyJ if ground = x amount of snow nodes then make blizzard.
07:46 VanessaE I treat the result as real surface nodes
07:46 VanessaE dirt with grass being an example of course
07:47 LazyJ So if the snow biome followed suit, it would take on the shape that MT's mapgen created.
07:47 LazyJ No more squared off biomes.
07:47 RealBadAngel joined #minetest
07:47 VanessaE as long as you use perlin noise to shape it, yeah
07:47 VanessaE that's how plants_lib does it
07:48 VanessaE Mossmannikin may be an issue.  is he still active on the forum?
07:48 VanessaE (undergrowth modpack)
07:48 LazyJ Biome size is an issue on multi-player servers in the context of the resources that biome provides.
07:49 LazyJ "Growing" a biome has appeal because that means the resources could be renewed for the next player to use.
07:50 LazyJ "Snow" doesn't create caves, caverns, or anything like that.
07:50 VanessaE ?
07:50 LazyJ So if all it did was put snow on top of the land, then OK>
07:50 LazyJ *.
07:51 LazyJ I'm going off on a map maintenance tangent.
07:52 LazyJ I spent my MT time today filling in divots and converting strip-mined stone areas back into dirt_with_grass or sand.
07:53 LazyJ So if a "Snow" biome is strip-mined of all it's snow, having a way to replenish it without using WE or falling snow is appealing.
07:53 LazyJ Falling snow creates low fps issues.
07:53 LazyJ And low fps is often blamed as lag.
07:54 LazyJ Using WE to drop a plane of snow from above has it's own problems.
07:54 VanessaE hm
07:54 VanessaE well, we'll figure it all out
07:54 LazyJ Some falling nodes don't "settle". The remain in a phantom state.
07:54 * RealBadAngel yawns
07:54 VanessaE morning, RBA
07:55 khor joined #minetest
07:56 LazyJ So all my ramblings could be summed up that instead of a mapgen biome, a "grown" biome, after mapgen, may be more practical from a server perspective.
07:56 HamishTPB joined #minetest
07:56 LazyJ We plan our builds, why not plan the biomes as well?
07:57 VanessaE right
07:57 VanessaE but we'll work all this out
07:57 LazyJ Hehehe...
07:57 VanessaE what about MossManikin?
07:57 VanessaE is he still active?
07:58 LazyJ Set fire under Splizzard's feet and make him holler!
07:58 LazyJ idk.
07:58 VanessaE hrm
07:58 LazyJ I have his drygrasses and ferns mods installed on my long-term singleplayer worlds.
07:58 LazyJ So check for updates a few times each week.
07:59 VanessaE jeez, I have 14 mods in dreambuilder that use plants_lib
07:59 LazyJ Nothing happening in those to mod's threads for several months.
07:59 VanessaE well 13, one is just a tweak of another.
07:59 LazyJ If there is a movement for sub-games, perhaps a movement for mapgens is not too far off.
08:01 LazyJ A plant_lib based mapgen, a float_lands based mapgen, a lunar based mapgen, a city/roads based mapgen (I see paramat is experimenting with that).
08:01 aheinecke joined #minetest
08:01 LazyJ Some of us prefer forests to concrete.
08:02 LazyJ The medieval theme has been long established.
08:02 LazyJ With the right mapgen and sub-game, a modern, urban theme could be had.
08:02 LazyJ Ok, I'm rambling.
08:02 VanessaE no gon and ramble
08:02 VanessaE go on*
08:03 VanessaE some ideas don't see the light of day without rambling :)
08:04 LazyJ I saw celeron55 posted a weird, green, lunar-like landscape on the forums.
08:04 VanessaE links?
08:04 VanessaE -s
08:04 LazyJ I wondered, as others I suppose, if that was something he was adding to Minetest soon.
08:04 LazyJ Checking...
08:11 kaeza joined #minetest
08:12 LazyJ Found it, finally:
08:12 LazyJ http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=140900#p140900
08:13 LazyJ Next time I'll try searching for "icecream", "snow tires", "waffle iron", and the forum search will be as useful. :p
08:13 VanessaE interesting
08:14 VanessaE I use google to search the forum :P
08:14 LazyJ Even that comes up short.
08:14 Miner_48er "search term" site:forum.minetest.net
08:15 VanessaE ah he IS still alive.
08:16 LazyJ Part of the problem is the person searching isn't plugging the just the right word(s).
08:16 LazyJ Who, Miner_48er? No, he's not alive. He's really a robot that Orby created to keep the rest of us in line. ;)-
08:16 Miner_48er :)
08:16 VanessaE heh
08:17 LazyJ I think maybe if tags were used more often and more liberally, the forum searches might be more fruitful.
08:18 LazyJ But that would require more curating which means more work for the forum moderators.
08:18 kaeza mornings
08:18 LazyJ Just keeping one forum thread is enough for me.
08:19 LazyJ Howdy, kaeza ;)
08:19 LazyJ The HomeDecor signs still aren't logging.
08:19 VanessaE greetz kaeza
08:19 LazyJ Which is another broader issue we've run into with More Blocks and HomeDecor.
08:20 LazyJ the "on_place" function is handling the rotate_node.
08:20 LazyJ When I try to use it for "on_place = minetest.... ah, crud. I have to look it up.
08:21 VanessaE minetest.rotate_node
08:21 VanessaE or minetest.rotate_and_place
08:21 LazyJ It's the function that records the action of placing a node in the logs.
08:21 VanessaE (depending on whether you used the wrapper or not)
08:21 LazyJ I tried rotate_and_place but it fubared the rotate and didn't record the placement.
08:22 LazyJ A "wrapper" is something I have yet to learn.
08:22 VanessaE a "wrapper" is simply a function that fills in some things for you
08:22 LazyJ Zefram gave me a snippet and the result was the same. No placement recorded and the rotation was backwards.
08:23 VanessaE for example, if you have a command you execute a lot, that always has the same parameter all the time, every time you run it, then you could write a function that calls it for you, with that parameter set the same all the time, then you call your function instead.
08:23 VanessaE that way you supply fewer parameters each time you call your function
08:23 VanessaE and it fills in the repetitive ones for you
08:23 LazyJ .
08:23 LazyJ ..
08:23 LazyJ on_place = function (i, p, t)
08:23 LazyJ minetest.item_place(i, p, t, 0)
08:23 LazyJ minetest.rotate_node(i, p, t)
08:23 LazyJ was kicked by ShadowBot: Message flood detected.
08:24 LazyJ joined #minetest
08:24 VanessaE heh... paste FAIL :)
08:24 LazyJ Yup.
08:24 LazyJ Ok, onesy, twosy...
08:24 LazyJ on_place = function (i, p, t)
08:24 VanessaE wait.
08:24 VanessaE lemme give you a simple example:
08:24 LazyJ 4 lines.
08:25 LazyJ Ok, refilling coffee cup...
08:25 VanessaE plants_lib used to have a "dbg()" call.  every time you called it, it printed the argument you gave it, but it also checked if plantslib.debug was set to true, and it added "[Plantslib]" to the output when it printed it.
08:25 VanessaE that way all you had to do was supply the string you wanted, you didn't have to worry if debugging was enabled or waste bytes on the [xxxx] prefix.
08:27 LazyJ Our concern is catching griefings in the logs.
08:27 LazyJ When a node's placement is not recorded in the logs, then we have no way to prove who the owner of the node is.
08:27 VanessaE just gitving you an example of what a wrapper is.
08:28 LazyJ Ah.
08:28 VanessaE not anything to do with the logging issue in the signs lib.
08:28 LazyJ The other issue is the sign messages are not recorded in the logs anymore.
08:29 LazyJ Threats and foul-language written on signs can't be found in the logs.
08:29 LazyJ And for that matter, adult website URLs either.
08:30 VanessaE *nod* we need some kind of generic foul language library for signs and forbidden nicks to refer to
08:30 LazyJ What part of the code was change that the "player wrote 'such and such' to sign at (coords)" is no longer recorded?
08:31 kaeza o crap
08:31 VanessaE ?
08:31 kaeza I see why it isn't being logged
08:31 VanessaE uh oh
08:31 VanessaE :)
08:32 LazyJ At least someone who understands code gibberish can see the problem now. ;)
08:32 VanessaE he better, he wrote it :)
08:32 * LazyJ chucks a soggy Oreo cookie at kaeza.
08:32 kaeza for k, v in pairs(fields) do print(k.." = "..v) end --> text = asdfasdf | quit = true
08:35 kaeza did someone change the way formspec quit messages are sent?
08:35 kaeza the "quit" message is sent along with "text"
08:38 VanessaE kaeza: yes I believe so
08:38 VanessaE but I don't recall the details behind how that change was made
08:41 kaeza https://github.com/VanessaE/homedecor_modpack/commit/7bf1c43c2d885856c7963aea737bbe32ded65743
08:41 kaeza LazyJ, ^
08:42 LazyJ Thanks, downloading to test now...
08:43 RealBadAngel VanessaE, im rewriting now whole parts of item_drop
08:43 VanessaE RealBadAngel: ok, I will wait before replacing item_drop with item_tweaks then
08:44 RealBadAngel its nonsense using tables to store entities age
08:44 LazyJ Item drop the mod or what happens in the default game?
08:44 RealBadAngel also the change will bring TTL into core
08:45 RealBadAngel i will make entities use TTL until user DISABLES it not otherwise
08:45 VanessaE LazyJ: the mod that governs things like automatically picking up items that have been dropped, and blocks that drop out as items when you dig them
08:45 LazyJ I've been considering the item_drop and builtin_item mods for our server to help clean up the litter left behind by players.
08:46 RealBadAngel LazyJ, then you should wait for item_tweaks
08:46 LazyJ Ok.
08:46 VanessaE LazyJ: forget both of them and wait for RBA.
08:46 RealBadAngel but still you can check it out now, how it works
08:46 RealBadAngel https://github.com/minetest-technic/item_tweaks
08:47 LazyJ What interested me about builtin_items was after a specified time, dropped items were cleared.
08:47 RealBadAngel future version will be just a bit faster and coded in cleaner way
08:47 VanessaE LazyJ: RBA's mod does that and a lot more
08:47 LazyJ As for item_drop, having things go into messy player's inventories.
08:48 kaeza VanessaE, `find homedecor_modpack/ -name '*.lua' -exec unexpand '{}' \;` ? :)
08:48 VanessaE RealBadAngel: just remember that TTL shall only apply to certain kinds of items
08:48 VanessaE RealBadAngel: as in, don't break signs_lib, mobs, etc.
08:48 VanessaE kaeza: what will that do?
08:48 kaeza VanessaE, change indentation from spaces to tabs
08:49 RealBadAngel ttl affects only item entities, nothin more
08:49 VanessaE kaeza: er, how did that break?  I never use spaces except for half-indents
08:50 kaeza wait while I fire the Linux VM
08:50 kaeza fire up not fire :P
08:51 * kaeza fires Windows instead for being a shit OS for dev
08:51 VanessaE haha
08:52 LazyJ Ok, the messages show up:
08:52 LazyJ 01:52:23: ACTION[ServerThread]: singleplayer wrote "This is a sign." to sign at (224,16,74)
08:53 LazyJ But the placement has an odd record:
08:53 LazyJ "default:desert_sand"
08:53 kaeza hmm
08:53 VanessaE node below the sign?
08:54 LazyJ Yup.
08:54 kaeza probably leftover debugging stuff from sign->fence attachment code
08:54 LazyJ The "odd" part is that is all that is recorded in the log.
08:54 LazyJ No, "ACTION[ServerThread]: singlplayer places sign at (coords)
08:55 LazyJ Though it would be nice to have a punch tool that only displays the item code of whatever is punched.
08:56 LazyJ WE does something like this now but you have to have WE privs.
08:56 VanessaE Sokomine made a tool for that I think?
08:56 LazyJ And some objects, if the group property is low enough, are taken when punched.
08:57 jin_xi joined #minetest
08:57 LazyJ Better yet is something I've noticed in HomeDecor. When you mouse over any item placed in the world it's name is displayed.
08:58 VanessaE ?
08:58 VanessaE strange
08:58 LazyJ Having something like that appear in the F5 display along side the coords would be a nicety but not a necessity.
08:58 VanessaE only a few items should do that, like microwaves
08:58 VanessaE (because they actually work)
08:58 LazyJ I think it's the chest like item of HomeDecor that do this.
08:59 RealBadAngel shit, cy's item drop uses spaces instead of tabs...
08:59 VanessaE refrigerators, cabinets too (because they can store stuff)
08:59 VanessaE LazyJ: if an item in homedecor shows its name, it's because there's a formspec you can get if you right click :)
08:59 VanessaE either it's a glorified chest or a glorified furnace :)
08:59 LazyJ Having it constantly display would be annoying at times, helpful at others.
09:01 LazyJ So putting is somewhere unobtrusive or as an option (chat command, F-key) would be the ticket.
09:01 LazyJ A silly idea but when I first started playing Minetest, having the coords constantly displayed seemed silly too at the time.
09:03 LazyJ The problem with WE's "inspect" function is, again, that it requires the WE priv.
09:03 LazyJ That and it's constantly on so if you are building it wipes out the F2 chat.
09:04 LazyJ So something in the corner, not in chat, would be nice.
09:04 LazyJ Ok, done typing wall-o-text. ;)
09:05 VanessaE heh
09:08 VanessaE write it up as a suggestion on github :)
09:08 VanessaE for the engine I mean
09:08 LazyJ Ah. My next question was "A suggestion for who?"
09:09 VanessaE because this sorta thing requires an engine change
09:09 VanessaE or rather a client tweak
09:09 LazyJ 2am already!?
09:10 * LazyJ looks at his ToDo list and shakes his head.
09:12 LazyJ Hmm... add to that suggestion, also display the name of the player the target is on in big, readable font. >.<   (where's mah' glasses?)

09:21 kaeza night LazyJ
09:22 VanessaE good night
09:22 RealBadAngel so, my proposition for items ttl is:
09:22 LazyJ G'night and thanks for the sign fix, kaeza ;)
09:22 RealBadAngel if not defined in config: 15*60 = 900s
09:22 RealBadAngel if set to something else, then similar as above
09:23 RealBadAngel set it to -1 to disable TTL
09:26 VanessaE "similar as above"?
09:31 RealBadAngel i mean item_entity_ttl = 60
09:31 RealBadAngel for example
09:31 RealBadAngel will make enities last for 1 minute
09:31 VanessaE right
09:33 RealBadAngel so, enity is given one extra variable, time of creation
09:34 RealBadAngel now, current game time - time of creations is item's age
09:34 RealBadAngel if that is less than 3s, you cant auto pick the item
09:34 RealBadAngel only by punching it
09:35 RealBadAngel if that time is greater than TTL, item is gone
09:37 VanessaE that makes sense
09:46 phantom7 joined #minetest

11:15 VanessaE oh boy...
11:15 Powermaniac Basically minetest gives me a starting point of something to look at.

11:36 Powermaniac Yeah. I'm just confused because I've been looking at Paramat's Lua scripts for map generation. And what I was after but probably not very clear about was how the actual engine generates the map, including the nodes etc.
11:36 VanessaE well, see, mapgen stuff can be done entirely in Lua too
11:36 Powermaniac Oh?
11:36 VanessaE there's a "mapgen" that basically turns the C++ side of it off aside from just the Lua hooks
11:37 VanessaE leaving land generation entirely in Lua's hands
11:37 Powermaniac Oh okay.
11:38 VanessaE (that's the "singlenode" one I think?)
11:39 VanessaE for the real hardcore C++ stuff, talk to hmmmm on #minetest-dev when he's around (afternoons US time is best)
11:39 Powermaniac Ahh okay
11:39 VanessaE he's the expert on it, but he doesn't have a lot of time lately
11:39 Powermaniac Alright.
11:40 VanessaE when it comes to Lua mapgens, paramat and nore are gods :)
11:40 Powermaniac VanessaE: Assuming you run minetest on a server, is there anyway to give minetest more system resources?
11:40 VanessaE I run seven minetest servers on a dedicated machine at OVH datacenter in Ontario :)
11:41 VanessaE minetestserver will use whatever you have available but its multithreading performance is not very good
11:41 Powermaniac Ahh that makes sense then
11:41 VanessaE so one or two very fast cores is better than several slower ones
11:43 Powermaniac I need to continue learning Python for uni, maybe once I've learnt enough I can try implementing a minecraft clone there, and then later in C++..Maybe. Although Python isn't very fast.
11:44 VanessaE better to contribute to Minetest somehow :)
11:45 Powermaniac Yeah, testing out map generation speeds could be interesting, as basically that's where the whole idea came from, hearing/seeing Minecraft only render so far and so fast...
11:46 reactor joined #minetest
11:46 VanessaE minetest's threading performance will improve some day I'm sure
11:46 VanessaE when it does I think mapgen speed will be one of the first things to improve with it
11:46 Powermaniac Probably, that's something I need to learn about myself multi-threaded code...
11:47 Powermaniac Get into AI with Moore's Law approaching multi threaded code will be important
11:47 VanessaE multiple threads is the easy part.  balancing the load is hard. :)
11:49 reactor ehlo
11:49 VanessaE hi

13:17 sfan5 ^ VanessaE
13:17 Krock sfan5, Win32/64 compatibility already fixed?
13:17 sfan5 minetestmapper is not the problem
13:17 sfan5 we need libgd
13:18 Krock aha
13:18 Krock but minetest uses libgd too, isn't it?
13:18 sfan5 no
13:18 Krock ah ok
13:18 Krock and no alternatives so far?
13:18 sfan5 well bo
13:18 sfan5 well no*
13:18 sfan5 unless we rewrite minetestmapper
13:19 sfan5 you can try to get libgd to compile for win
13:19 Krock All I can compile are C# projects and single C/C++ files

17:08 Exio4 pizza :D
17:08 lolol HEEEEEH
17:08 Calinou hi john_minetest
17:08 Calinou :'( trying to make the /hp command not register when damage is disabled
17:08 Calinou doesn't work
17:09 khonkhortisan Inside the chatcommand give a warning as if it was disabled
17:09 Krock Calinou, check for enable_damage in minetest.conf
17:09 khonkhortisan ^ We understood the problem differently
17:10 Exio4 i guess he is trying in a mod
17:10 Krock yup                       -^
17:10 Krock ah noez... 4 spaces missing
17:10 khonkhortisan Trying to point around the sentence?
17:10 lolol !rainbow * lolol is bored
17:10 MinetestBot 4*4 4l7o7l7o8l8 8i3s3 3bore6d
17:11 Calinou if minetest.setting_getbool("enable_damage") then
17:11 Calinou I did use that
17:11 Calinou (and put the registration code in between)
17:11 lolol yaaaaayZá
17:11 tomreyn joined #minetest
17:11 Krock Calinou, then something else adds it
17:11 Calinou http://0bin.net/paste/QQwzI5zvPJarpJi8#3XinfvyLg8if9CPFc/NhmwSbzwBd2zp5J2NIX6ihUfA=
17:11 zat Calinou: it isn't
17:11 Calinou yeah
17:12 Krock == true?
17:12 zat It is.
17:12 Calinou it looks like there's /hp in default game now, but no one told me
17:12 Calinou no, there isn't
17:12 Krock minetest.registered_chatcommands["hp"] = nil
17:12 Krock try that
17:13 kaeza Calinou, slight improvement: line 16: if hp then ...
17:13 Krock *minetest.chatcommands
17:13 Calinou mesecons_commandblock adds it… ah
17:13 kaeza tonumber() returns nil if the passed string is not a string representing number
17:14 kaeza oh, and line 14, add "local" before user, hp
17:14 Inocudom https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=142251#p142251-Krock, might you be able to remedy this issue in this mod?
17:14 kaeza Lua's "global by default" sucks ._.
17:15 Inocudom https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=142251#p142251
17:15 Krock Inocudom, paramats version? I'll try
17:15 Exio4 we need a way to set that off kaeza
17:16 Krock should be an easy task
17:17 kaeza somebody said 5.3 will have local by default
17:17 kaeza doubt it
17:17 blaise 5.3?
17:17 kaeza Lua 5.3, upcoming
17:17 Exio4 only in cinemas
17:17 Inocudom Thank you.
17:18 Krock kaeza, and 'public' for public?
17:18 Exio4 global
17:18 kaeza and classes!
17:18 sfan5 'global' would make more sense
17:18 * sfan5 purrs at kaeza
17:18 Calinou <kaeza> Lua's "global by default" sucks ._.
17:18 blaise I'm using dev-lang/lua-5.1.5-r1
17:18 Calinou it's a better idea generally
17:18 Exio4 kaeza: typeclasses* FTFY
17:18 Exio4 Calinou: ?
17:18 Exio4 GLOBAL by default is shit
17:18 Calinou avoids people running around for hours
17:18 Calinou with errors
17:19 blaise s/hours/decades/
17:19 Krock Inocudom, I can't reproduce this bug.. line 124 is "is_ground_content = true,"
17:19 kaeza Calinou, global by default has caused quite a few bugs with minetest<->mods lately
17:19 kaeza BlockMen's pyramids vs default/player.lua comes to mind
17:20 Calinou the HP code is not used anymore, kaeza
17:20 nman3600 hi
17:20 Inocudom It must be fighting with another mod. Either plantlife, vines, moreblocks, or gloopblocks.
17:21 kaeza Exio4, https://gist.github.com/kaeza/a5f79a33bf0365d6faa5
17:21 kaeza :D
17:22 Krock Inocudom, I can not reproduce it because we've got diffrent codes
17:22 Calinou Bones are now dug instantly, code cleanup, remove duplicate /tell and /hp commands, don't register /hp command when damage is disabled.
17:22 Inocudom How did you get paramat's version?

21:05 grrk-bzzt joined #minetest
21:05 zat WindHero: http://dev.minetest.net/minetest.register_decoration ← I don't see there is a rarity setting.
21:06 WindHero sorry, I meant fill_ratio
21:06 zat If I understand correctly, if I specify biome = { "b" }, it should only try to spawn in the biome called b.
21:06 zat it spawns even in other biomes.
21:06 zat its fill ratio is 0.004
21:06 WindHero yup
21:07 WindHero you're using mapgenv7, right?
21:07 zat yes
21:07 zat in my case it spaws everywhere the block specified in place_on is.
21:07 Amaz And the mapgen 7 biome api? minetest.register_biome ect?
21:08 zat I have biomes registered already if that's what you ask Amaz.
21:09 pehjota joined #minetest
21:09 Amaz Okay.
21:09 Amaz With the biome api?
21:10 Amaz Like this: https://gist.github.com/Amaz1/eee1efcbf6c483d0e03f ?
21:10 WindHero (lol, i was referencing BFD too)
21:10 zat exactly like that Amaz.
21:11 WindHero do you have the code somewhere it can be viewed?
21:11 Amaz Okay. Don't know why it isn'working... Sorry.
21:11 zat WindHero: not now, but look, one biome has stone as top and the other one has dirt_with_grass has top
21:11 WindHero ok
21:12 zat so I know when I am in one biome or other
21:12 zat if I quit and change the node_top of the stoned one to grass_with_dirt, everything that was meant for the other biome appears in this one.
21:13 zat heat point and humidity point of both are respectively: 50 & 80 for one and 50 & 30 for the other one.
21:13 WindHero hmm

21:31 zat WindHero: do the order of the biomes registration matter for anything?
21:33 WindHero not the biome registration order
21:33 WindHero but I think decoration registration order matters
21:33 WindHero it has to come after the biomes
21:33 WindHero if it's in-between, then I think it will ignore further ones added
21:34 WindHero (which makes no sense why it should do that)

22:56 ShadowNinja So this is NOT "<.*@IRC> .*" chat?
22:56 VanessaE in each case, the server will quit answering to /chat_commands from the affected user's Minetest client also
22:56 VanessaE correct
22:56 VanessaE this is normal public in-game chat
22:57 ShadowNinja If you are connected to the server it shouldn't send you any IRC PMs.
22:57 VanessaE it only happens if the user is logged into the server and is also on IRC with the same username as on the server, I think
22:57 VanessaE I'm not 100% sure but that seems to be the common link
22:57 ShadowNinja It determines if you're connected by calling get_player_by_name

23:00 ShadowNinja VanessaE: Is player_part enabled?  That might be causing it since it uses PMs.
23:00 VanessaE it is, yes
23:00 Vadtec joined #minetest
23:00 VanessaE I hate it when that is disabled
23:00 VanessaE can't tell when a user joins/leaves, it creates a terrible discontinuity if disabled
23:01 ShadowNinja I've heard of that bug in irc_commands before, but I haven't been able to reproduce it.  I guess get_player_by_name sometimes fails.
23:01 VadtecWk joined #minetest
23:02 ShadowNinja VanessaE: No, I mean player_part, not send_join_part.
23:02 ShadowNinja As in the in-game /join and /part commands.
23:02 VanessaE oh, um
23:03 VanessaE I don't recall changing that setting
23:03 VanessaE hm.  nope, I've only ever set irc.channel, irc.server, irc.nick, and irc.NSPass
23:03 VanessaE nothing else

23:08 ShadowNinja sfan5: https://github.com/minetest/minetestmapper/commit/dff45891521b8fd299f68f1ca1c36124e3b6616b  How is this an improvement?  It has a limit of 128 and this function should only be called once on init.  If it takes more than a few miliseconds then it can be fixed without rewriting it like this.
23:09 ShadowNinja sfan5: The comment parsing is obviously broken in both versions though.

23:41 WindHero well, I found a way of replacing air created after generation of the map
23:41 WindHero air CAN have ABMs
23:41 HamishTPB- joined #minetest
23:41 WindHero doesn't mean it's a fast method though...
23:42 Exio4 VanessaE: do you think "programming" (learning the basics, like, what a variable is, what a loop is, what an array is and what a function is, nothing more) is hard?
23:43 WindHero mind if I answer?
23:44 Exio4 i don't mind
23:44 Exio4 i really want to know what you think
23:44 Exio4 you as you all :P
23:44 WindHero I'd say that, exactly as the question is posed, "programming" is not hard at all
23:44 WindHero the concepts are very easy to learn and understand
23:44 Exio4 yeah, """"programming"""" :P
23:45 WindHero however, where it can potentially become difficult is when you move from the "what" to the "how."
23:45 WindHero in Python or Lua, it's not particularly hard to learn
23:45 Exio4 is it *that* difficult?
23:45 WindHero no, not unless you're doing something like binary or F#
23:45 LinuxGuy2020 joined #minetest
23:46 Exio4 this is pseudocode WindHero
23:46 WindHero then no, it is not *that* difficult
23:47 WindHero obviously you need to have a logical mind... but beyond that, easy.
23:47 Exio4 "logical mind"
23:47 WindHero (I only say that because there's always someone who makes you wonder how they can be so dense)
23:47 LinuxGuy2020 Hello I came back to test out 0.4.9. Ive been away since 0.4.7. Hoping a few bugs were fixed since then like air pockets under water. Are there any prebuilt debian i386 packages or do I need to build my own?
23:48 Exio4 we should have a logical mind if we're studying this "career"
23:48 WindHero of course, Exio
23:48 Exio4 and we also have lots of algebra/logic-thinkin' and stuffz
23:48 WindHero @Linux, idk offhand, you'd have to check yourself
23:49 WindHero Exio, I realize that, I was merely answering in generality
23:50 Exio4 i think the basic idea of programming is one of those that you either get by reading a bit or you don't get it at all
23:50 LinuxGuy2020 Is there still air pockets under the water before I go through the compile process?
23:51 WindHero not that I've seen
23:51 Exio4 i don't think that was fixed at all
23:51 Exio4 you could code your own workaround (not fixing the issue but hidin' it)
23:53 Exio4 also, i'm upgrading this to sid ^^
23:53 Exio4 i'm finally liking this laptop
23:53 Exio4 after i removed everything and went to 64bit
23:53 WindHero :D
23:53 Exio4 the boottime now feels so fast compared to before too
23:54 WindHero My laptop boots in mere seconds
23:54 Exio4 the laptop needed 100 seconds
23:54 WindHero it used to take almost a minute before I switched OSes and put in a SSD
23:54 Exio4 and it didn't boot Xorg
23:54 Exio4 this is a harddisk
23:55 Exio4 if i went mad i could make this system boot in a few seconds but why
23:55 WindHero Trust me, I didn't do it for the boot time xP
23:55 Exio4 yeah
23:55 * Exio4 doesn't like SSDs though
23:55 Exio4 too expensive
23:56 WindHero besides, read/write time is more important than boot time for me
23:56 WindHero Exio4: SALES
23:56 Exio4 i live in argentina
23:56 WindHero oh
23:56 Exio4 here everything is expensive, add even more expensive stuff and a nice SSD is a whole salary :P
23:56 WindHero had I considered that, I wouldn't have said squat
23:57 Exio4 2300 for a 250 GB SSD
23:57 WindHero @_@
23:57 WindHero wut
23:57 Exio4 2300 ARS
23:58 Exio4 it is 1/3 of my father's salary
23:58 Exio4 well, more like 1/2.5
23:58 Exio4 but 1/3 for being nice :P
23:58 * WindHero suddenly feels sick
23:59 Exio4 (if we don't count 'extras', it is 1/2)
23:59 WindHero these are the times I almost feel like money is evil
23:59 WindHero but I know that's misdirected
