00:12 Animetrom can someone help me?
00:13 Animetrom ???
00:19 Fritigern kaeza: I have static_spawnpoint set, but /spawn does not work
00:20 Fritigern Animetrom: Nobodsy can help you if they don't know the problem
00:22 rcmaehl joined #minetest
00:22 Cacatoes when trying on local server, indeed, setting static_spawnpoint doesn't seem to help ( Invalid command: spawn)
00:39 kaeza Fritigern, the command is registered only if `static_spawnpoint` is set at load time. blame Krock about that
00:40 Fritigern Why would i blame Krock for a minetest.conf setting?
00:40 Fritigern Correction, a DEFAULT minetest.conf setting
00:40 kaeza Fritigern, not because of a setting, but because of not outright registering the command and simply making it no-op if the setting is not found at runtime
00:42 kaeza actually, /spawn pull was not merged...
00:42 Fritigern That makes zero sense. static_spawnpoint is a vanilla minetest.conf settong, it IS set, and IS loaded at runtime beccause new users spawn there. Try again
00:43 kaeza well, read above. which mod are you using for `/spawn`
00:43 kaeza +?
00:43 Fritigern None
00:43 Fritigern Was i supposed to?
00:44 kaeza well, there's no `/spawn` command by default
00:44 Fritigern And there we have it!
00:45 Fritigern So why in the world would you assume someone uses a mod for /spawn if they never said that they did?
00:45 kaeza eh?
00:45 Fritigern [15:16:23] [[ Cacatoes ]] someone point me to a way to enable /spawn command ? I haven't found. I want a way for players to teleport back to a safe place
00:46 Fritigern You replied to that, saying [15:56:28] [[ kaeza ]] Cacatoes, `/spawn` does not work unless you set `static_spawnpoint`
00:46 kaeza Fritigern, my response was based on the assumption that this was merged: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1690/files
00:46 kaeza which was not
00:48 Fritigern Then you were also assuming that Cacatoes as using a version wuich was built in the last 17 days, which as a lot of assumptions to make
00:49 Fritigern *as = are
00:49 kaeza my apologies, should refrain from trying to help next time
00:49 Fritigern No, but you should ask for more infrmation instead of assuming stuff.

02:25 zat RealBadAngel: not knowing its purpose!!! lol!!!
02:26 RealBadAngel you mean the spawn as area?
02:27 zat the /spawn command
02:28 RealBadAngel a sec
02:29 zat why not making a /sec command then?

03:33 AllEvil669 Is that a bad thing?
03:33 AllEvil669 Should I go?
03:34 zlsa no
03:34 zlsa they asked questions about it after you left
03:34 zlsa but you weren't here anymore.... :)
03:36 RealBadAngel AllEvil669, youre writing a mod or what?
03:37 AllEvil669 Yes.
03:38 AllEvil669 I've been "testing", and I think my issue with crafting recpies stems from the "shape" of the defined recipe.
03:40 OldCoder AllEvil669, go on
03:40 Cylus What shape?
03:41 OldCoder AllEvil669, how about cloning an existing mod first, a very simple one, and changing what it does?
03:41 OldCoder This is almost guaranteed both to work and to teach you how it goes
03:41 AllEvil669 Yes, that was what I did to get to where I am.
03:43 OldCoder At what stage did it break?
03:45 AllEvil669 At the stage where I stare at the code for 24 hours straight, and the miss a closing bracket. I'd like to thank LazyJ, in #minetest-mods for pointing me in the right diredction.

08:01 Miner_48er add pipeworks to technic's depends file
08:01 Yepoleb_ joined #minetest
08:01 xrazybud how do you do that?
08:02 Miner_48er open depends.txt in a text editor and add pipeworks on a new line
08:03 FR^2 joined #minetest
08:03 xrazybud it's in it
08:06 Miner_48er did it work?
08:06 xrazybud no
08:07 xrazybud it's in technic/technic though... do all those folders need to be in the root mod?
08:07 Miner_48er paste the error at pastie.org and paste the link here
08:08 xrazybud http://pastie.org/9649094
08:08 xrazybud it's 0.4.10
08:11 Miner_48er what is the name of the pipeworks directory?

08:17 xrazybud technic from https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2538 and not sure about pipeworks
08:17 Miner_48er when did you download them?
08:18 xrazybud pipeworks maybe a few weeks ago and technic just now
08:20 Miner_48er there was a recent update to technic for a change in pipeworks try updating pipeworks

09:05 Fritigern Zeno`: I have made that mistake a lot on Secondlife, wehre i do code quite a bit. For example if(name = "bill"){do stuff} instead of if(name == "bill"){do stuff}. I workaround that shortcoming of mine by inverting the comparison to if(name != "bill"){return}else{do stuff}. It's ugly, but it may have saved me from mindlessly staring at the code for who knows how mny times.
09:14 emigrant[EfC] joined #minetest
09:19 Zeno` Yes, I don't like inverting the order of operands (it's not natural). I believe that Amaz was talking about Lua, though so it's an error and not a warning that most (all?) modern C and C++ compilers will emit
09:20 Zeno` I do do stuff like if ((x = blah()) {} // i.e. add parenthesis
09:23 Amaz Yes, I was talking about Lua.

09:35 Zeno` Lua mapgen can't be efficient <--- I'd agree with that
09:36 Zeno` LVM takes wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long to populate the table (and write it back)
09:36 Zeno` much longer that the actual mapgen stuff itself
09:37 Zeno` i.e. 60x longer in most cases
09:37 Zeno` mainly because data is scattered all over the place in the engine
09:41 * sfan5 meows at Zeno`

12:00 Zeno` is there anyway to reset/clear ALL nodes/mapgen below a certain depth?
12:04 Fritigern I have an issue, in minetest.conf i have set static_spawnpoint = 473, 20, -241 , but for some reason, new users spawn at -161, 19, 289. Does anyone have any idea why, and more importantly, how can i fix this?
12:04 The_Loko joined #minetest
12:04 GrimKriegor joined #minetest
12:06 Fritigern The weirdest part is that people USED to spawn at the intended location, but not anymore. This really is a big issue
12:08 ThatGraemeGuy_ Zeno`: I wrote a Python script that did that a while ago
12:08 ThatGraemeGuy_ its kinda ugly though
12:08 Zeno` ThatGraemeGuy_, does it work with leveldb?
12:09 ThatGraemeGuy_ sqlite3, but if you know python I'm sure it could be modified
12:09 Dragonop joined #minetest
12:10 ThatGraemeGuy_ it basically goes through every mapblock found in the db, decodes the co-ordinates, and if its east/west/below/whatever parameters you want deletes the block
12:10 Zeno` hmm
12:10 ThatGraemeGuy_ i've thought of cleaning it up and putting it on github, just never got to it
12:11 Dragonop Hi
12:11 ThatGraemeGuy_ since i was looking at that a few months ago, this is the second time i've ever seen anyone ask for such a thing
12:11 Zeno` it'd be nice if it worked for all db backends
12:24 gloop joined #minetest
12:26 Fritigern Okay, i have no choice bot to take my serve offline until i have found a solution for this problem
12:27 alexxs joined #minetest
12:28 Amaz Fritigern, is there a mod that has anything to do with spawning?
12:28 Fritigern There used to be, but is no longer installed, so everything should have reverted to the old behavior
12:29 Amaz Odd.
12:29 Fritigern To be precise, i used to have ServerExtended 0.5, but it caused larger issues that the ones that it would solve
12:31 Fritigern One of the modules of ServerExtended caused regular users, new and existing ones, to hang in limbo upon login (admins were not affected). Unacceptable of course. So it's gone.
12:33 Amaz Does this work? http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=gGYBuAj2
12:33 Dragonop joined #minetest
12:33 Fritigern I don;t know, i am not a coder
12:33 Amaz Could you try it?
12:33 Fritigern How, what, where?
12:34 Zeno` that shouldn't be necessary
12:34 Zeno` can you paste the .conf line for static spawn?
12:34 Dragonop_ joined #minetest
12:34 roboman2444 joined #minetest
12:34 Fritigern I already have : static_spawnpoint = 473, 20, -241
12:34 Zeno` did you paste that?
12:35 Fritigern I did paste it from minetest.conf
12:35 Zeno` try without spaces
12:36 Zeno` e.g. static_spawnpoint = 473,20,-241
12:36 Fritigern okay, done. Starting up the server and logging in with the testuser
12:36 Zeno` I don't think testuser is probably a "new user"
12:37 Fritigern testurser is definitely a new user. I just created it
12:37 Zeno` k
12:38 Dragonop joined #minetest
12:38 Fritigern Nope, i even made a new new user, but no joy
12:39 Fritigern I can't help but feeling that this wasn;t a bug, but that it was a hack instead.
12:39 jin_xi joined #minetest
12:39 Zeno` have you got some kind of spawn mod installed?
12:39 Fritigern [05:28:03] [[ Amaz ]] Fritigern, is there a mod that has anything to do with spawning?
12:39 Fritigern [05:28:38] [[ Fritigern ]] There used to be, but is no longer installed, so everything should have reverted to the old behavior
12:40 jin_xi Fritigern: can you try set another static spawnpoint closer to origin for a test? Nothing further than 200 nodes
12:40 Fritigern You mean closer to 0,0,0?
12:40 jin_xi yes
12:40 shadowzone joined #minetest
12:41 Fritigern I'll give it a go. 10,3,10 should do it i think
12:41 jin_xi yes
12:44 Fritigern Nope, i died and respawned at the "unauthorised" spawn point.
12:44 jin_xi ok. thanks for trying
12:44 Amaz Add http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=gGYBuAj2 into init.lua of a mod folder (Maybe call it respawn), and it should work...
12:44 Amaz Not ideal though.
12:44 Zeno` wait, so they spawn at the right place but not respawn at the same place after they die?
12:44 rcmaehl joined #minetest
12:45 Fritigern No, both the initial spawn, as the respawn_on_death is in the wrong spot
12:46 Fritigern Amaz, your method would suppress a symptom, not cure the disease.
12:46 Zeno` you haven't got it twice in the .conf file?
12:46 Amaz Yep.
12:46 Fritigern Or, in IT terms, it's a workaround, not a solution
12:46 Zeno` just ruling things out :)
12:46 Fritigern Zeno`: I checked, it's there only once

15:13 Zephlon joined #minetest
15:20 Fritigern Is anyone aware of an exploit that will let a mlicious user set the spawn point to an arbitrary location in such a way that it can not be changed back? Because if such an exploit exists, then i may have been hit with this one
15:21 Fritigern Now, i am not interested in HOW it works, i would like to know how to fix this mess
15:22 Fritigern And by spawn point i mean static spawn point
15:22 Amaz Fritergern, what happens if you remove the static spawn point from the config?#
15:23 Fritigern I don;lt know but chances are that users will still spawn in the wrong location.  Zeno and i have been messing with this and look at what happened:
15:23 Dragonop joined #minetest
15:24 Fritigern 06:44:40: ACTION[ServerThread]: zeno damaged by 36 hp at (-161,19.987,289) | 06:44:42: ACTION[ServerThread]: Moving zeno to static spawnpoint at (473,20,-241) | 06:44:42: ACTION[ServerThread]: zeno respawns at (-161,20,289)
15:24 ElectronLibre left #minetest
15:24 VanessaE Fritigern: that's a lag problem
15:24 VanessaE known bug, it's not an exploit at all
15:24 Fritigern Moving zeno to 473,20,-241 because he died, but respawns at -161,20,289
15:25 Fritigern Lag? This is a consistent thing
15:25 VanessaE it has to do with the client taking too long to acknowledge the death or somethinbg
15:25 VanessaE -b
15:25 Fritigern It is where new users spawn, you have seen it. That is NOT the spawn point that i set
15:25 VanessaE remember, the server has the absolute last word on where the client needs to be in the world, including acknowledging dig/build actions.
15:26 VanessaE it's a bug
15:26 VanessaE notice where the user respawned at - the same place they were killed at,
15:26 Fritigern I refuse to believe that it is lag. It can not be that lag causes ALL new users to spawn in the wrong spot
15:26 VanessaE it IS lag.  this is an ollllllllld bug
15:26 Fritigern They will alo respawn there if they get killed on the toerh side of the map
15:26 VanessaE directly related to the code that communicates death messages between the server and client
15:26 cities I spawn there and I never died there
15:27 VanessaE has nothing at all to do with the code that teleports the user around as far as I know
15:27 Fritigern LISTEN! NEW USERS SPAWN THERE WHILST THAT IS NOT THE STATIC SPAWN
15:27 VanessaE Fritigern: dude, I'm telling you this is a known bug!  https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/81
15:28 VanessaE it's THAT old
15:28 Fritigern That is unrelated. Repeated death?
15:28 VanessaE new users spawning somewhere other than the static spawn is ALSO a known bug
15:28 VanessaE it's a networking glitch
15:28 VanessaE the repeated death is related to the kill bug you first mentioned.
15:28 Zephlon why doesn't the client just wait to receive spawn coordinates from the server before respawning?
15:28 Zephlon that's how it should work
15:29 Fritigern Lag can not be the issue, the server is local to me, and my new users too spwan there
15:29 Dragonop joined #minetest
15:29 VanessaE Fritigern: it IS lag, even if it's local.
15:29 VanessaE it's weird like that
15:29 VanessaE it's stupid, I know
15:29 SylvieLorxu joined #minetest
15:29 VanessaE it's some weird bug in the networking code
15:30 VanessaE even a microsecond of lag could be enough to trigger it I guess
15:30 VanessaE happens on my servers and on Zeno's too
15:30 Zephlon lag can happen regardless of whether the server is at 127.0.0.1 or on the other side of the world
15:30 Fritigern Again, i refuse to believe that because it does not explain why the static_spawnpoint would be honored even when the server was highly stressed by another process
15:31 VanessaE I'm telling you it's a network glitch
15:31 Fritigern It changes from one day to another
15:31 Fritigern *changed
15:31 VanessaE it's a known bug that we've been fighting for a long while now
15:31 Dragonop #minetest-dev
15:31 VanessaE https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/922
15:31 VanessaE there
15:31 VanessaE that's the one I wanted to link to
15:32 Lunatrius joined #minetest
15:33 Fritigern Not related. This is about respawning at player position. That IS lag
15:33 VanessaE no, read the bug
15:33 VanessaE that's about the client sending movement packets too fast
15:34 VanessaE [10-15 11:27] <Fritigern> 06:44:40: ACTION[ServerThread]: zeno damaged by 36 hp at (-161,19.987,289) | 06:44:42: ACTION[ServerThread]: Moving zeno to static spawnpoint at (473,20,-241) | 06:44:42: ACTION[ServerThread]: zeno respawns at (-161,20,289)
15:34 VanessaE is that not what this is?
15:34 fishyWET left #minetest
15:34 VanessaE player gets killed, player respawns, player gets teleported back to kill point
15:34 Fritigern New user, never logged in before. Spawns at wrong coords
15:34 Fritigern You KEEP overlooking that
15:34 VanessaE that's a different, also known bug
15:35 VanessaE I told you, that's a network glitch
15:35 asie joined #minetest
15:35 Fritigern They all spawn at the same wrong coords
15:35 VanessaE either that or you set the value in your static_spawnpoint incorrectly :-)
15:36 Fritigern static_spawnpoint = 473,20,-241
15:36 VanessaE usually the glitch puts players at 0,0,0
15:36 VanessaE or something similar
15:36 VanessaE somewhere close to the world origin
15:36 Fritigern -161,20,289 is not close
15:36 VanessaE which I *believe* is because the "find a good spawn location" code is kicking in
15:37 Fritigern 0,0,0 has a nice 32x32 platform to catch people
15:37 Fritigern So it should be suitable
15:37 VanessaE -161,20,289 might be the result of a hangup in the server then
15:37 VanessaE someone ended up there, and now the server doesn't want to acknowledge that they've left that area
15:37 Fritigern Consistently? For days on end? across hard and soft reboots?
15:37 VanessaE we've had THAT problem for a while too
15:38 VanessaE no, that's different.  I've never seen it persist across a reboot
15:38 VanessaE you've got a mod doing it then
15:38 VanessaE maybe a jail mod?
15:38 Fritigern Well, this IS persisten, which is what it kept telling you
15:38 Fritigern No jail mod on this server
15:38 VanessaE you never mentioned that it was persisting across reboots.
15:38 Fritigern Nothing of the sort even
15:39 VanessaE do you maybe just have more than one static_spawnpoint set in your config files?
15:39 VanessaE say one in your server config and a second one being set in a game conf somewhere?
15:39 VanessaE something of that nature?
15:39 VanessaE (or even just two in your server config)
15:41 Fritigern No, i checked. I removed all server-relateds stuff from my game config, all client-related stuff from my server config, just to make sure that there can be no cross-contamination
15:41 Fritigern and i have gone over both repeatedly, but nothing
15:42 VanessaE if it using the two bugs I mentioned, and there's no configuration oversight, then there HAS to be a mod pushing users to that location somehow.
15:42 Fritigern I moved the static_spawnpoint line to the end of minetest.conf to make sure that it was not overwritten by a missed, duplicate static_spawnpoint

15:54 Amaz Fritigern, try coping the map.sqlite to a new world, and seeing if that works.
15:54 Amaz May be worth a try.
15:56 Fritigern Amaz: I have tried something that i would expect to have a similar effect. I moved all the non-essential config files into a backup folder, and started the world again, but that didn;t help. I wil try your method later
15:57 Zephlon is it always the same coordinates?

16:57 Fritigern Amaz: I have learned a few things: moving the db to a new instance of the server (including mods) will result in users spawning in the wrong location. Moving the db to a clean minetest_game instance makes the user spawn close to (but not on) 0,0,0.  this would indeed suggest a mod behaving badly, but only beds could conceivibly be remotely responsible, but nothing changed when i disabled that one
16:59 Fritigern I jut so completely done now, so totally fed up. I think that, if my co-admin agrees, i will just completely regenerate the world and hope it will never happen again. I will keep a backup of the server with stubborn spawn point, in case someone would want to investigate as some point in time
16:59 Fritigern But right now, i am tired, haven;t slept all noght, so i will see if i can have a 3-hour nap or so

18:38 iqualfragile point was that you can put a dot after any domain name
18:38 iqualfragile and it just looks strange

18:38 iqualfragile but its obviously valid

18:39 iqualfragile that might even be worth a bug report
18:41 Cylus iqualfragile: The trailing dot doesn't seem to work with HTTPS though, as far as I've seen.
18:42 Cylus iqualfragile: What is "talk mode"?
18:43 iqualfragile Cylus: yes, it does not because the strings "duckduckgo.com" and "duckduckgo.com." are not equal and the certificate is only valid for the first
18:43 iqualfragile Cylus: its when two people logged into the same computer want to talk
18:44 iqualfragile then you can open a direct connection between them and they can read what they type
18:44 Cylus iqualfragile: My certificate is good for cyl.us, cyl.us., *.cyl.us, and *.cyl.us. . However, the trailing dot domains don't work.
