00:12 blaise it's not even bothering to use that file
00:12 blaise and I can't explain why it didn't create it in the first place

02:33 RealBadAngel stupid question, wheres the node mentioned in single node mapgen?
02:36 blaise I'm not really getting any snow accumulation at all with weather mod
02:36 blaise :\
02:36 blaise zat: what mod are you using?
02:37 zat blaise: mod what for?
02:37 blaise your weather bioms
02:37 blaise biomes
02:38 zat I am just making the biomes, no mods in particular
02:38 zat created a v7.lua for the default mod
02:42 zat blaise: why?
02:42 blaise becuase I've been playing with all these weather mods
02:42 blaise and..
02:43 blaise the best one I've found was snow
02:43 zat I am using v7 biomes
02:43 blaise weather isn't too bad, but I don't see any water or snow accumulation at all
02:43 blaise I was told not to use v7 map type
02:43 blaise I dunno why..
02:45 zat I don't think anyone knows why

03:13 YuGiOhJCJ hello, I am unable to pick up lava with my bucket... Is it different from water?
03:13 VanessaE should be the same?
03:13 VanessaE unless you're trying to scoop up flowing lava, or lava buckets have been disabled on the server you're playing on maybe
03:18 YuGiOhJCJ it is my server so I don't think I have disabled anything ^^
03:19 VanessaE you're not playing with the "minimal" game I hope"?
03:19 YuGiOhJCJ when I click with my bucket on lava, I don't get a lava bucket...
03:19 YuGiOhJCJ how to know?
03:19 VanessaE you would know.
03:20 VanessaE it says "minimal development test" and has a green theme
03:20 VanessaE whereas the standard Minetest Game has either dirt or clouds (depending on your client/engine version) and says "Minetest" with a sort of "stony" font.
03:21 YuGiOhJCJ my window is called "Minetest" and I can read "Minetest 0.4.10"
03:21 YuGiOhJCJ (on the main menu)
03:21 YuGiOhJCJ first time I see lava and I can't pick up it :\
03:22 VanessaE I mean in the main menu
03:22 VanessaE before you start a world
03:22 VanessaE 0.4.10 is the current engine version, that's good for surew.
03:22 VanessaE -w
03:23 VanessaE exit the world and go back to the main menu.  what does it say in the parts of the screen outside the menu itself?
03:23 VanessaE it is a sort of olive green, or it is blue with clouds, or a sort of brown dirt?
03:24 VanessaE !seen kaeza
03:24 MinetestBot VanessaE: kaeza was last seen at 2014-08-15 22:46:43 UTC on #minetest
03:24 VanessaE ''seen kaeza
03:24 HLuaBot Unknown command "seen". Try "help".
03:24 VanessaE :<
03:25 YuGiOhJCJ blue with clouds
03:26 VanessaE and the standard Minetest logo at the bottom of the menu?\
03:26 VanessaE (perhaps next to a green button)
03:28 VanessaE that's probably minetest_game if so.
03:28 VanessaE I just checked in a new world with current minetest_game and I'm able to pick up a lava source with the bucket just fine
03:29 VanessaE are you sure you're not trying ti pick up flowing lava?
03:29 YuGiOhJCJ no Minetest logo at the bottom
03:29 VanessaE no logo?
03:29 VanessaE can you post a screenshot please?
03:29 * VanessaE is confused.
03:29 YuGiOhJCJ in fact the logo is only in single player
03:29 VanessaE of the main menu I mean
03:30 YuGiOhJCJ yeah the logo is only present on the main menu when I am on the "single player" tab
03:30 VanessaE yeah, that's the tab I meant
03:30 VanessaE ok
03:30 VanessaE so, on your "server" then
03:30 YuGiOhJCJ but I am playing on the "Client" tab that's why I don't see it
03:30 VanessaE that's normal.
03:31 VanessaE what game are you really running on the server, is the question.
03:31 YuGiOhJCJ I am running Minetest 0.4.10 same version on the server
03:31 YuGiOhJCJ but the world was created with an old version of Minetest I don't remember well
03:32 YuGiOhJCJ each time a new version of Minetest was released, I have updated Minetest on my server
03:32 VanessaE yes but the game is a different thing from the engine itself
03:32 VanessaE the engine runs the game, the game provides the actual content and game logic.
03:33 VanessaE you have to make sure you keep your game content up-to-date too
03:33 VanessaE it's not supplied with the engine
03:33 VanessaE it sounds like you might be running minimal on the server]
03:33 VanessaE lemme check if that's consistent
03:34 YuGiOhJCJ is there a way to verify that my world on the server provides the lava bucket feature?
03:34 VanessaE hm, minimal has a working lava bucket aldso
03:34 VanessaE also*
03:34 VanessaE so that ain't it.
03:35 VanessaE you'd have to check the code, just see if there's a lava bucket texture in <whatever the game is>/bucket/textures maybe
03:35 VanessaE that's the only guess I have is that your game is simply that old that it somehow doesn't have one :)
03:36 VanessaE latest version of minetest_game can be had from here:  https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game
03:36 YuGiOhJCJ oh but wait I have already installed minetest and minetest game last version
03:36 YuGiOhJCJ I mean that's only the "world" that was created with an old version of minetest (the first one I have played)
03:37 VanessaE oh that doesn't much matter
03:37 YuGiOhJCJ but after this I always updated minetest (and minetest game too)
03:37 VanessaE it should port over okay
03:37 VanessaE I wonder..
03:37 VanessaE hm, no, that world won't have lava in it.
03:37 * VanessaE checks anyway
03:38 VanessaE hm, nope.  if this lava was already here before, then that's not the issue either.
03:38 VanessaE I can pick it up.
03:39 VanessaE (it might be 0.3.x-generated, it was only a couple of mapblocks below the surface)
03:40 VanessaE (well -67m anyway)
03:41 YuGiOhJCJ so if I want to be able to pick up lava, I need to create a new world? Damned... I am on this one since a lot of time I want to keep it :\
03:41 VanessaE no
03:41 VanessaE there's something else busted
03:42 VanessaE but I'm out of guesses :(
03:42 VanessaE just out of curiosity
03:42 VanessaE does it work on a new world?
03:43 YuGiOhJCJ it is hard to find lava ^^
03:43 YuGiOhJCJ I can create a new world but I don't know how to find quickly lava
03:43 VanessaE just fly straight down
03:43 VanessaE you'll find some then
03:43 YuGiOhJCJ ok I try this
03:43 YuGiOhJCJ in "single player" mode
03:44 VanessaE yes
03:45 YuGiOhJCJ damned no "fly" privilege xD
03:45 VanessaE heh
03:46 YuGiOhJCJ ok I add it
03:47 YuGiOhJCJ fly straight down? you mean I need to dig?
03:48 VanessaE fly.
03:48 YuGiOhJCJ when I fly down I hit the ground
03:49 YuGiOhJCJ and I need to dig the ground to reach lava
03:50 YuGiOhJCJ anyway in this new world I see some flowers like "Rose" that I have never seen before in my previous world
03:50 VanessaE turn on noclip
03:50 YuGiOhJCJ ok
03:50 VanessaE /grant singleplayer all
03:52 YuGiOhJCJ in fact, I think I have a better way to know if I have a "minimal" world
03:52 YuGiOhJCJ I just need to copy this world from my server to my client and play it in "single player" mode
03:52 VanessaE look at world.mt :)
03:53 VanessaE but I wanted to see if your game is behaving right on a new world.
03:53 YuGiOhJCJ here I will be able to see if it is minimal because the logo should not appears, isn't it?
03:53 VanessaE yes
03:53 YuGiOhJCJ ok I try this if you want first
03:53 VanessaE or you can just look at the world.mt file in that world dir
03:53 VanessaE it'll say there also
03:53 VanessaE but this isn't minimal
03:53 VanessaE because it has a working lava bucket also
03:53 VanessaE something else is wrong
03:54 YuGiOhJCJ I see lava !
03:54 YuGiOhJCJ I will create a bucket
03:56 blaise oh yeah?
04:02 YuGiOhJCJ ok bucket ready
04:03 YuGiOhJCJ yes pick up is working on flat lava
04:03 YuGiOhJCJ I have a lava bucket with this new world
04:05 YuGiOhJCJ hmm I am wondering if it is because this lava is "flat"
04:05 YuGiOhJCJ I need to do more tests
04:07 YuGiOhJCJ yeah I think it is because it is flat
04:08 YuGiOhJCJ if I go to the extremity of the lava I can't pick it in my bucket like in the previous world
04:08 YuGiOhJCJ I go back to the previous world to try on flat lava
04:09 YuGiOhJCJ world.mit tells me "gameid = minetest" in my previous world so it is not "minimal" :)
04:09 YuGiOhJCJ *world.mt
04:16 VanessaE ok yeah
04:16 VanessaE the lava has to be "flat"
04:16 VanessaE that's a lava source
04:16 VanessaE flat != flowing
04:16 VanessaE you cannot pick up flowing lava
04:17 VanessaE or flowing water for that matter
04:22 YuGiOhJCJ yes that's it :)
04:22 YuGiOhJCJ it works also on my previous world
04:23 YuGiOhJCJ only on "flat" lava...
04:23 VanessaE ok
04:23 VanessaE now we know
04:23 VanessaE PEBCAK :)
04:23 YuGiOhJCJ yes I was not aware about that ^^
04:26 zat joined #minetest
04:26 proller joined #minetest
04:35 paramat joined #minetest
04:37 paramat zat mgv7 works but hmmmmm has plans to rewrite it, however the biome API will remain
04:37 paramat i look forward to your 24 biome mapgen
04:37 proller joined #minetest
04:41 sol_invictus joined #minetest
04:43 zat paramat: :D
04:52 hmmmm hey hold up
04:53 hmmmm i am not rewriting mapgen v7
04:53 hmmmm i just want to modify the base terrain generation
04:53 hmmmm the biome api is going to change btw
04:53 paramat oh okay
04:54 hmmmm temperature and humidity will still be there ofc
04:54 ndjdjksisksk joined #minetest
04:55 hmmmm those two will just select the "climate" biome
04:55 hmmmm and there's still the "terrain" biome that consists of terrain height and terrain variance
04:55 hmmmm the climate biome and terrain biome come together to make a unique biome, for example "ice mountains"
04:56 paramat it's a good idea
04:57 hmmmm i'm wondering if i should expand a biome ID to be 16 bits for that
04:57 hmmmm the original idea was to have 16 | 16
04:57 hmmmm but 256 | 256 will make people not complain as much
04:58 hmmmm see a biome id as it exists right now is only 8 bit.  so that was 256 possibilities for unique biomes.  with the two separate biome types it'd still be 256 possibilities, but only 16 possibilities for temperature type and 16 possibilities for terrain type
04:58 hmmmm so i'll have to crank the size of that up too
05:00 paramat i see ... BTW do you still avoid the forum? im wondering if i should continue to link you to my recent mods
05:00 paramat here's a large scale dungeon generator https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&amp;t=9896
05:00 hmmmm I don't *avoid* the forum, I just don't use it
05:01 hmmmm oh cool
05:01 paramat new mapgen with generated paths and bridges https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&amp;t=9210
05:01 hmmmm that's sort of what I was going for with the dungeon generator code update i did a while back
05:01 hmmmm i really love your mountain there btw
05:02 paramat i love the desert dungeons!
05:02 hmmmm they're underground temples!
05:02 hmmmm anyway
05:02 hmmmm if you looked at the code you'd notice that I have some core set of attributes for defining a dungeon separated and varied based on biome
05:03 hmmmm hint hint
05:03 hmmmm add in some lua definition functions
05:04 paramat ahhh okay cool ;)
05:07 blaise so what's this weather support that proller added in 0.4.8 ?
05:07 blaise :\
05:08 hmmmm half assed bullshit
05:08 paramat dynamic weather, changing with 'seasons'
05:08 paramat lol
05:08 VanessaE and the insistence that it use finite water
05:08 VanessaE instead of just wet ground
05:08 hmmmm it would be awesome if it were a mod and it wasn't buggy
05:09 hmmmm that's my primary gripe with proller's stuff
05:09 hmmmm Freeminer has weather though!
05:10 paramat hmmmm, also working on walkable/driveable generated roads/paths https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&amp;t=9306
05:10 VanessaE if particle spawners used proper irrlicht particles (and thus, didn't murder your fps), then things like the snowdrift mod (which has rain) would be a perfectly good weather mod for minetest.
05:10 VanessaE jin_xi is working on that.
05:10 VanessaE paramat: yeah, cheapie has a test server with that mod on it
05:11 paramat !! cool
05:12 unclouded joined #minetest
05:13 hmmmm cool
05:13 hmmmm how do you do those paths
05:13 hmmmm is that 3d noise intersection?
05:13 VanessaE (snowdrift is already really good, don't get me wrong, but it would be *perfect* if it could say cause blizzards, rainstorms etc, but it can't without being able to spawn thousands of particles)
05:14 hmmmm particle spawner isn't exactly the best code
05:14 paramat 2D noise, paths are created from a circular 'brush' when 2D noise switches sign
05:15 hmmmm the code quality itself is quite suspect, but more important is that it creates many scenenodes rather than uses irrlicht's particle support
05:15 VanessaE hmmmm: each particle entity is a scene node too?
05:15 paramat then air around the brush is replaced by a slab, uses overgeneration too as do all my recent mods, no discontinuities at chunk borders
05:16 hmmmm vanessae:  as it exists right now, yes
05:16 VanessaE hmmmm: ouch.
05:16 hmmmm hmmm, paramat, circular brush?
05:16 paramat well im writing a new mod for rain
05:16 VanessaE paramat: saw it
05:17 paramat hmmmm, yes because it has to be omni-directional
05:17 hmmmm what do you mean by brush though
05:17 paramat brush as in 3x3 nodes for path, 5x5 for roads
05:18 hmmmm ahh I understand what you mean
05:18 paramat i busted my brains over this =)
05:18 hmmmm so you use the 2d noise to draw squiggly lines
05:19 hmmmm and then for each pixel the line drawn consists of, you place the appropriately sized circle "node brush"
05:19 paramat yep
05:19 hmmmm see
05:19 hmmmm I used to use 2d noise for rivers and roads and stuff but I didn't like it
05:19 hmmmm because it'd often form circles
05:20 paramat oh yeah i can't avoid that
05:20 hmmmm perlin noise is very convenient but i want something generated by a different process
05:20 paramat it makes racetracks
05:20 hmmmm haha
05:20 hmmmm grrrrrrrrrrr
05:20 hmmmm grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
05:21 hmmmm you could do so many more amazing things with map generation if you were able to generate the whole thing all at once
05:21 paramat and yes i want to try to make rivers that flow downhill, generated by abm and lvm
05:22 hmmmm did you see my downhill river attempt
05:22 paramat in the wiki?
05:22 hmmmm yeah
05:22 hmmmm those
05:22 hmmmm woah
05:22 paramat yes saw it but haven't tried it
05:22 hmmmm did I write all that documentation
05:23 hmmmm ahh presdigitator edited it, he's the guy who hates me because I didn't like his overly-object oriented code
05:23 paramat (6:23am here in the UK) are you USA E/W/Mid?
05:25 paramat 'generate whole thing at once' ... whole world?
05:25 hmmmm paramat:  yea!
05:25 hmmmm I am GMT -5:00
05:25 hmmmm so it's 1:25 where I am
05:25 VanessaE suddenly, 200 TB world dirs..  erk
05:25 hmmmm hah
05:26 hmmmm but no seriously.  the 'pre-generate area' idea is still on the table
05:26 paramat good
05:26 hmmmm minetest --pregen 1000x100+0+0
05:26 hmmmm and then a 1000 by 1000 area starting at (0,0,0) gets generated
05:27 VanessaE that could be useful
05:27 hmmmm and then subsequently generated blocks won't have as intricate cave systems or whatever
05:27 hmmmm because they're limited to 80x80x80 :(!

05:40 VanessaE a contoller chip
05:40 VanessaE controller(
05:40 blaise and what will that do?
05:40 VanessaE I forget exactly
05:40 blaise lol
05:41 VanessaE and I may be wrong on that, but that's what those slots are used for elsewhere
05:41 blaise microcontroller ?
05:41 VanessaE chips allow items to be routed through tubes
05:41 VanessaE no
05:41 VanessaE a regular control chip
05:41 VanessaE bbl, bedtime for me also
05:41 blaise LUA controller ?
05:41 VanessaE no, a control CHIP
05:42 VanessaE looks like an old fashioned DIL circuit
05:42 blaise I find nothing when I search for anything with the word chip
05:42 VanessaE I don't remember the exact name of it

08:38 ruskie rofl
08:40 ruskie so bad that it ran way better than minecraft on my system when I was still interested in playing suc games
08:42 Harmless great, the more stay away from this game, the more I can enjoy it :)
08:43 ruskie hehe
08:45 Harmless funny review though. I can recognise some of it. First time I played it I also had something like "how does this work?" You have to invest some time to get the system especially when you see it as a minecraft clone; because it just isn't
08:47 Harmless Oh, and the review was for the ouya system...

09:26 Calinou what about dropping node when replacing buildable_to node regardless of method? :/
09:27 nore ^ would that include dropping liquids ?
09:28 Calinou no…
09:28 Calinou you drop the node's drop
09:28 Calinou liquids should have no drop already

11:10 YuGiOhJCJ hello, how to know if the lava in my bucket is a "lava source" or a "flowing lava" please?
11:11 YuGiOhJCJ I don't see any difference
11:12 YuGiOhJCJ but there is a difference when I use it because if it is a "lava source" I can produce obsidian, and if it is a "flowing lava" I can produce stone
11:14 ThatGraemeGuy YuGiOhJCJ: flowing lava looks like its moving, source lava doesn
11:14 ThatGraemeGuy +'t
11:19 YuGiOhJCJ in fact as you can see here : https://lut.im/JjVOklxA/ABhrMlqN
11:19 YuGiOhJCJ I get stone when I put together lava and water
11:20 ThatGraemeGuy that is flowing lava
11:20 ThatGraemeGuy and flowing water for that matter
11:20 ThatGraemeGuy you can see that it isn't quite the same height as a dirt node as well
11:20 YuGiOhJCJ really? It does not look like to move for me :p
11:21 ThatGraemeGuy hrmm actually i might be full of crap
11:21 ThatGraemeGuy if those were both flowing nodes they couldn't actually exist
11:21 Jordach YuGiOhJCJ, Lava sources look like water sources
11:22 ThatGraemeGuy but yes, its forming stone because that centre node is not lava source
11:22 ThatGraemeGuy the left one is source, the centre one would be flowing lava
11:22 ThatGraemeGuy flowing lava+water = stone
11:22 ThatGraemeGuy if you placed water on top of source lava you would get obsidian

11:29 YuGiOhJCJ hmm I don't understand you mean than on the picture I have at the left a flowing lava, but at the right a source water?
11:29 YuGiOhJCJ *that
11:29 ThatGraemeGuy there are 3 nodes that are relevant in the picture
11:29 ThatGraemeGuy the left node is lava source, the right is water source
11:30 ThatGraemeGuy lava flows to the centre block and meets water. flowing lava + water = stone
11:35 YuGiOhJCJ OK, and so yes putting my water at the top of the lava source creates obsidian but here the difference is that the lava source is lost during the transformation
11:37 ImQ009 joined #minetest
11:45 YuGiOhJCJ ah... strange I have put water on the top of my lava and water has replaced my lava source by ... water :\ no obsidian here
11:46 Jordach don't put it in the same spot
11:46 Jordach it needs to flow over the lava or next to it
11:47 YuGiOhJCJ OK
11:48 YuGiOhJCJ thank you yes it works now

15:08 Calinou tools cannot be stacked: you can't give yourself multiple tools, instead the amount is used to determine the damage.

15:42 Calinou to prevent server takeovers
15:43 Calinou when you host a server from your client (this includes singleplayer), you're the player whose name matches the “name” minetest.conf setting
15:43 Calinou so you're always the name player there

15:58 Jordach Sokomine, you must restart the server for it to take effect
15:58 Jordach either the creative priv inv isn't updating anytime a priv is changed, or that bad programming is around
15:59 Sokomine for a simple revoke? sounds odd. anyway, it seems he was running the server on another machine (or just as a manually started process?)

16:44 Krock micro short?
16:45 rubenwardy Like a short video, but shorter
16:45 rubenwardy short as in not a feature length video
16:45 rubenwardy I guess, anyway.
16:45 Jordach and you can use it as a gif :P
16:46 Calinou SimpleScreenRecorder
16:46 Calinou http://www.maartenbaert.be/simplescreenrecorder/
16:46 Calinou records games well, can record sound
16:47 Calinou customisable FPS, size, format
16:47 Calinou can stitch up several records (pause recording)
16:47 Calinou (I think)
16:47 Calinou there's a PPA

17:20 sfan5 hi
17:20 Mikeonline today is the day i finished the main adaption from 0.4.3 to latest stable
17:21 Mikeonline still some minor things todo but the main work is done
17:21 Mikeonline ..
17:21 sfan5 0.4.3? ಠ_ಠ
17:21 Mikeonline yes
17:21 sfan5 wait what
17:21 Mikeonline wait what?
17:21 sfan5 1234567890 ಠ_ಠ
17:21 sfan5 lolwat
17:21 Mikeonline i havent upgraded the server since 0.4.3
17:23 Mikeonline if someone wants to testplay :D
17:29 VanessaE sfan5: next thing you know we're gonna hear that Redcrab is updating his server or something :)
17:29 Mikeonline :P
17:29 Mikeonline is he as slow as me? :)
17:29 VanessaE Mikeonline: he still runs some git 0.4.4 pull
17:29 Mikeonline hehe
17:30 Mikeonline its the doubt of the developers
17:30 Mikeonline so much has changed
17:30 Mikeonline :P
17:30 Mikeonline the main problem was the missing protection
17:30 VanessaE nope, lack of time is more likely.
17:30 Mikeonline node ownership did not work anymore
17:30 Mikeonline now the api is better for protection
17:30 VanessaE areas mod.
17:30 VanessaE does the same thing, better.
17:30 Mikeonline yes
17:30 Mikeonline i installed it
17:30 Mikeonline that was my main problem
17:30 Mikeonline after apichange+areas mod it was possible to upgrade
17:31 Mikeonline then trouble with moreores as legacy  etc
17:31 Mikeonline and the look and feel with new steel icons terrible ;)
17:31 Mikeonline so i had hours of adaption work todo
17:31 Calinou hey, I see Mikeonline in #etlegacy :)
17:32 zat VanessaE: yesterday you said that you would like to see how plantslib would work in a v7 mapgen with dirt and grass...
17:32 zat I saw it, or I think it was it
17:32 zat with everything disabled, something was creating cactuses in the desert
17:32 rubenwardy lol. The minetest API has misspellings. threshhold -> threshold
17:32 zat and moretrees was enabled only
17:32 VanessaE zat: yes.
17:32 zat rubenwardy: those damn english words lol
17:33 VanessaE zat: that wasn't moretrees.
17:33 VanessaE it doesn't add cacti
17:33 rubenwardy threshhold is correct in no english based languages
17:33 zat omfg lol
17:33 Mikeonline Calinou: yes :P
17:33 zat yes, it would be morecacti otherwise...
17:34 Mikeonline rubenwardy: same as in http spefication "referer"
17:34 VanessaE zat: however, as long as there is default:stone, default:sand, default:dirt, and default:dirt_with_grass it should work.  but I've never seen any reports definitely one way or the other
17:36 zat VanessaE: I have defined five types of dirt and dirt_with_grass in my mod
17:36 zat D:
17:36 VanessaE node names are what it looks for
17:37 VanessaE but only because the mods that depend on plants_lib look for them
17:37 VanessaE you could add more surfaces easily enough to those mods
17:37 VanessaE it won't increase the actions list any
17:37 VanessaE it'll just increase the surfaces list, so the speed shouldn't be impacted too much as long as there isn't a huge quantity of those surfaces in a mapblock
17:38 VanessaE (huge as in dozens of layers of the substance, bounded by air)
17:39 VanessaE but the question is whether the on_generated calls can do their jobs properly.

17:49 sol_invictus well, I have a weird issue

17:51 VanessaE zat: I think so.  group:foo in the surface table
17:51 VanessaE and groups = { foo = 1}  in the node defs
17:51 VanessaE but I don't remember if that actually works or not
17:51 zat :S
17:52 VanessaE try it and see?
17:52 * VanessaE looks at the code
17:53 VanessaE mmmm...
17:53 VanessaE no, it won't.
17:53 VanessaE if ((not biome.depth and string.find(biome_surfaces_string, minetest.get_node(pos).name))  ....
17:53 VanessaE this check here would prevent it, unfortunately.
17:54 VanessaE is there a call in the API that can "extract" a group back to that which it contains?
17:54 VanessaE (e.g. return everything in group:wood for example)
17:54 Sokomine hi :-)
17:54 VanessaE hey
17:54 blaise how do I disable fog again?

17:54 blaise yy
17:54 blaise ty
17:54 Sokomine does anyone know by any chance if there's a reasonable way to make sure that - before the current map chunk is fully done - another one will be generated?
17:55 Sokomine perhaps placing a schematic there?
17:55 rubenwardy VanessaE: you can loop through minetest.registered_items and check groups
17:55 VanessaE rubenwardy: ew.
17:55 VanessaE that's nasty.
17:56 CraigyDavi` joined #minetest
17:56 Sokomine hm, at least it'll work i suppose :-) looping through all items and checking groups can be well done in lua
17:56 VanessaE speed isn't a concern since the dereference would be done during the registration code (and not in the action loop) but still
17:57 Sokomine could be helpful for the various craft guides as well
17:58 rubenwardy It has to be done somewhere
17:58 rubenwardy It doesn't take very long, VanessaE
17:58 Sokomine hm, yes, one of the things that require a minetest.after or such i think
18:07 Miner_48er is there a way for tablets to get F5 for the coords?
18:09 Jordach Miner_48er, depends on the build

18:11 Sokomine best talk to sapier about a key for coordinates on android. it'd be good to have
18:12 Miner_48er ok

21:09 Mikeonline thats what i have to figure out
21:09 Mikeonline is there a trick to give the server much more ram?
21:09 Mikeonline it uses so lees ram
21:09 Mikeonline less
21:09 VanessaE you don't need to
21:09 VanessaE it'll only use as much RAM as it needs.
21:09 Mikeonline so there is no tuning possibility?
21:10 VanessaE what's to tune?
21:10 Mikeonline i want it to use 2gb ram or more
21:10 Mikeonline instead of 252
21:10 VanessaE more RAM usage isn't gonna make it faster.
21:10 Mikeonline i know
21:10 Mikeonline but it should keep the whole world in ram
21:10 VanessaE if it needs more, it'll use it.
21:10 RealBadAngel lol
21:10 sfan5 then use redis
21:10 Mikeonline 252m seems to be small
21:10 sfan5 redis will keep the whole world in ram
21:10 sfan5 always
21:10 VanessaE it'll load more of the world into RAM as it needs to
21:10 VanessaE up to a point
21:11 VanessaE what's the default limit?  a couple thousand mapblocks or something?
21:11 sfan5 or decrease the unload timeout and make the active block radius and block load radius bigger
21:11 RealBadAngel better buy an SSD
21:11 Mikeonline hm
21:11 RealBadAngel this will make it real faster
21:11 Mikeonline but this wont solve my cpu issue?
21:11 Mikeonline i think hdd is fast enough
21:11 VanessaE Mikeonline:  I told you to look into your mods for CPU usage problems
21:11 VanessaE one of your mods is the CPU hog
21:12 Mikeonline its nearly dedicated to minetest 7400rpm raid0 or jbod cant remember
21:12 Mikeonline so i have to disable mod after mod
21:12 Mikeonline is there an unload command?
21:12 VanessaE just remove mods from your configuration and restart
21:12 VanessaE there is no unload command
21:14 Mikeonline yes i will remove one half and another half
21:14 Mikeonline and then split until i find it
21:14 Mikeonline do you think it must be a mod?
21:14 Mikeonline i hope its not areas mod..
21:14 Mikeonline but if then its just the show area on hud part
21:14 VanessaE bisecting is a good way to search for it, but start by removing the obvious hogs like mesecons, technic (sorry RBA), pipeworks (sorry me), anything based on plants_lib, etc.
21:14 asie joined #minetest
21:15 Mikeonline mesecons i could remove
21:15 VanessaE if the CPU is still excessive, then bisect it
21:15 Mikeonline feature request: mod cpu load statistic :D
21:15 VanessaE already in
21:15 VanessaE sapier added profiling support just recently.
21:15 Mikeonline :D
21:15 VanessaE as in yesterday I think.
21:15 Mikeonline minetest development is fast
21:16 VanessaE you'll need a git development build to use it though
21:16 Mikeonline thats good
21:16 VanessaE it's not in 0.4.10
21:16 VanessaE (or you could wait for 0.4.11)
21:16 Mikeonline then i better split
21:16 Mikeonline i just got it running :D
21:16 Mikeonline i prefer stable versions
21:16 Mikeonline i love rock solid things instead of devel branches
21:16 Mikeonline hm
21:17 VanessaE minetest dev is usually stable, as far as whether it's crashy etc.
21:17 Mikeonline what can i cook tonight?
21:17 VanessaE no more or less so than stable.
21:17 Mikeonline hm
21:17 VanessaE pizza :)
21:17 Mikeonline hm
21:17 Mikeonline maybe :D
21:17 Mikeonline new feature request: make player name distance configurable
21:17 Mikeonline and let the admin see all names unlimited
21:17 Mikeonline :D
21:17 VanessaE there's already an issue for that.
21:18 Mikeonline :D
21:18 Mikeonline damn
21:18 Mikeonline ok
21:18 Mikeonline i will make a pizza now :)
21:18 Mikeonline its time to go to bed
21:18 Mikeonline near zero !
21:18 * Mikeonline slaps VanessaE around a bit with a large trout
21:19 LazyJ Phttt... I'd like the name font to be larger so I can read the names when they are visible.
21:19 Mikeonline bye
21:19 VanessaE hm, I *thought* there was an issue for it
21:19 VanessaE can't find it now.
21:19 VanessaE LazyJ: YES
21:19 VanessaE dear G*d yes

21:27 Sokomine lazyj: oh yes! that would be very helpful. playernames are so small...
21:27 Sokomine i sometimes have to walk around a player until the background fits. if they run around themshelves, chances of identifying the player are low
21:28 Sokomine oh, er...i mean LARGER player names. not invisible player names after some distance...

21:55 paramat celeron55, seems to me you like dungeons so in case you haven't seen it here's my unlimited giant dungeon generator https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&amp;t=9896
21:59 celeron55 "ever-shifting interpenetrating dungeon nightmare" sounds good
22:01 celeron55 (i actually already saw that; haven't tried yet because it's kind of just a tech demo)
22:06 proller paramat, when you will start making c++ mapgens?
22:08 alket joined #minetest
22:24 paramat ok cool
22:24 paramat proller, when i can't vox my nipples fast enough :P
22:25 jin_xi paramat: your mapgens rock!
22:25 jin_xi any plans on a combination of all the ideas at some point?
22:26 proller witth 100s chunk gen time...
22:26 paramat if only we had threaded lua mapgen they could be suitable for servers
22:26 paramat but hmmmmm says that's impossible at the moment
22:27 paramat jin, watershed is the one for multiple ideas into one monster mapgen
22:29 proller with 10s gen time even 24 cores will not help
22:30 jin_xi oh i see

22:30 PenguinDad I can't even reach 10s chunk gen time without luajit
22:30 proller try watershed
22:31 PenguinDad proller: Of course I did that using watershed
22:33 paramat 2s per chunk for watershed on my new computer (intel core i5-4670t0
22:33 Akagi201 joined #minetest
22:34 proller still 20x slower than c++
22:35 paramat i actually love lua, it took me a year to get good with lua mapgen, i don't want to suck at c++ for a year when i can do what i'm good at
22:35 proller converting mapgen from lua to c++ now very hard
22:36 proller not
22:36 proller change types and perlin noise calls
22:37 PenguinDad Yeah but you can't easily install a C++ mapgen
22:37 paramat hm i guess conversion is not so bad, developing is much better in lua though (for me)
22:38 paramat mauvebic (who i miss a lot) said 'mapgen is the one thing that hasn't been done to death in lua', i then realised i was happy to stick with lua instead of being sucked into core ;)
22:38 proller no need to install, make pull for adding standard mt mapgen
22:39 LazyJ "Somethings are worth waiting for." I don't mind if it takes a few seconds more for Watershed to do it's thing compared to the default mapgen v6.
22:39 paramat but since hmmmmm's freetime is short i can see a need for me to do more core stuff
22:40 proller default mapgens is full shit
22:40 paramat lol
22:40 LazyJ For a multi-player server full of app-kids, go with flat mapgen and "vanilla" setup, no mods.
22:40 PenguinDad lol
22:41 PenguinDad Only air and ignore \o/
22:41 proller flat with obsidian
22:42 LazyJ For a multi-player, war server, Watershed could raise the "hardcore level" much higher.
22:43 paramat i feel like my work has built up some pressure for new core features that make lua mapgen faster, i feel that server-practical lua mapgen would be an amazing development
22:44 LazyJ It would.
22:44 LazyJ Not only do mods define a sub-game but so could the mapgen.
22:46 LazyJ It seems that all mapgens for Minetest, that I've seen so far, are focused on creating "Earth"-like worlds.
22:46 LazyJ Change things up a bit.
22:47 LazyJ A mapgen that forms entirely underwater, no surface landmasses.
22:47 proller not all ;)
22:47 LazyJ Now build Atlantis.
22:47 proller paramat, watershed can be converted to c++ in 2-3 days
