02:05 LordHawk Just letting people know incase they want to play with the shaped charge mod
02:05 LordHawk It was an experiment to see if I could modify an existing mod
02:06 LordHawk I will not be maintaining it though.

16:59 PenguinDad Don't take tips from the spy! D:
17:00 HomelessHedgehog joined #minetest
17:00 Zeno` I think I was pretty good at noticing the spy. He is very well disguised.
17:01 Zeno` I notice the subtleties
17:01 pitriss hi i want to ask.. is possible to define some minetest.conf values in world dir? I mean world specific settings..
17:01 Zeno` It was the dark sunglasses and false moustache that game him away
17:02 * Calinou is trying out Antergos <http://antergos.com/> in VirtualBox
17:02 Calinou this is the prettiest installer I have ever seen
17:03 sfan5 >Calinou trying out a rolling-release distro
17:03 sfan5 I didn't expect this to ever happen
17:03 Calinou I already run a Debian Testing VM
17:04 Zeno` pitriss, you can have more than one .conf file (you specify which one you want on the command line. (e.g. --config theconffiletouse)
17:05 pitriss Zeno`: yes i see.. i meant if there is any file that is autoloaded with world (for example minetest.conf) from worlddir at startup:)
17:06 Zeno` hmm, not that I know of, but if there is a way someone else might
17:07 sfan5 pitriss: thats easily done with a mod
17:10 pitriss sfan5: hmm hmm:) ok.. but I will stick with multiple conf files then..
17:12 sfan5 pitriss: untested, written from memory and without an editor: http://sprunge.us/hIAf?lua
17:13 pitriss sfan5: thanks:)
17:16 sfan5 pitriss: this one should work http://sprunge.us/FEMC?lua
17:16 kaeza joined #minetest
17:17 pitriss sfan5: ok thank you very much:)
17:17 sfan5 pitriss: tell me if it doesn't
17:18 kaeza sfan5, that has the problem that the mod has to be loaded first, before any mod calls setting_get
17:19 kaeza or even before the engine calls the relevant C++ function (if it caches result, like is the case with block send configuration, etc)
17:19 kaeza actually, dunno about block send config
17:20 Calinou I'd like world-specific minetest.conf
17:21 pitriss Calinou: yes me too:)
17:21 kaeza maybe silly suggestion, but it would be useful to have a `game/mods/init.lua` file that gets loaded first, before mods are even loaded
17:22 rubenwardy Yes, that would be good. Although you would need to make sure a normal mod isn't accidentally placed there?
17:23 sol_invictus joined #minetest
17:24 luizrpgluiz joined #minetest
17:24 kaeza to achieve that effect, one currently has to modify all mods to depend on some other mod, to guarantee this initialization takes place first
17:24 ElectronLibre joined #minetest
17:25 Calinou my world is fully bright with shaders, why?
17:25 Calinou latest Git
17:25 rubenwardy You could do add a few lines to builtin
17:25 rubenwardy kaeza, I meant a mod installed to games/
17:25 rubenwardy * game/mods
17:25 rubenwardy ie: games/mods/init.lua, game/mods/textures
17:25 rubenwardy The textures would stop it working
17:27 luizrpgluiz please, what is the minimum image resolution for blocks?
17:27 rubenwardy 1x1
17:27 rubenwardy 16x16 is normally used
17:27 Calinou just use 16² :P
17:27 luizrpgluiz and the maximum?
17:27 rubenwardy any
17:27 rubenwardy meg
17:27 rubenwardy * meh
17:27 rubenwardy It should be in 2^n
17:28 Calinou maximum is determined by your graphics card
17:28 rubenwardy 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024
17:28 Calinou recent ones: 2^14 * 2^14
17:28 Calinou (that is, 16384²)
17:28 kaeza rubenwardy, how do you "install" a mod there? other than not following the proper instructions about installing mods, which can also lead to tons of other silly cases?
17:28 Calinou older ones are 8192²
17:28 Calinou but really, in your mods, don't bundle very large textures
17:28 rubenwardy It would be a user error
17:28 Calinou in texture packs, 512² is OK, but prefer 256² which loads faster
17:29 rubenwardy You reach a point when it doesn't make a difference - there aren't enough pixels on the screen
17:29 * VanessaE peeks in

17:46 rubenwardy Placing fire?
17:46 rubenwardy Does placed fire burn out?
17:46 rubenwardy There is a fake fire mod, that might be what you want
17:47 hisforever yes I want to place fire in a fireplace but it goes out
17:47 hisforever ok ty i'll go look for it
17:49 Calinou Map Tools has fake fire
17:49 Calinou no need to install another mod if you have it
17:49 Calinou maptools:permanent_fire, maptools:fake_fire, maptools:igniter
17:52 VanessaE yeah but is maptools' fake fire backward compatible with the other mod? :)
17:52 luizrpgluiz please, I wanted a light to create a basic world generator for my mod, someone help me with at least certain of dev.wiki links?
17:52 Calinou there are no aliases, so no?
17:52 Calinou you would have to add them
17:52 VanessaE hence the reason some of us use the other mod too
17:53 VanessaE easier to install it than to create said aliases :)
17:54 luizrpgluiz I wanted a little help

18:05 Calinou (heh… last active… there are other ways to get that one anyway, so I won't bother removing the image)
18:05 luizrpgluiz Jordach:XD
18:06 Jordach tl;dr one more day until i can remove that 40k image

18:26 Krock Calinou, well, I've got everything I need with Nodepad++
18:26 Calinou Geany is cross-platform
18:26 exio4 Krock, editing codes is a NP-hard task, isn't it?
18:27 Krock exio4, what does 'NP' mean in this context?
18:27 PenguinDad No Problem :P
18:27 Krock Calinou, also single-platform applications can be powerful :)
18:27 Krock PenguinDad, no. np = no problem. NP is something else
18:28 exio4 Krock, a complexity
18:28 Calinou Krock, but I prefer cross-platform
18:28 Calinou so that my software is as universal as possible

18:30 sfan5[Mac] hi
18:30 Krock exio4, I do not get why such things even exist.
18:30 Krock sfan5[Mac], pong!
18:31 sfan5[Mac] meow
18:31 exio4 Krock, do you know the "big O" notation?
18:32 PenguinDad O(sqrt(n))
18:32 PenguinDad Complexity of IDK
18:32 Krock exio4, never heard of it
18:32 Krock Complexity of I don' know.

19:05 thoughtjigs Have a question about changing a nodes textures on the fly
19:05 Krock :D My mod search site got more than 2000 queries
19:05 Krock Horray!
19:05 thoughtjigs (in game)
19:06 Krock thoughtjigs, You can not change textures in-game
19:06 exio4 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
19:06 Jordach textures can't be changed on the fly
19:06 exio4 my super-cool language, apparently, works!!!
19:06 Krock thoughtjigs, you must register additional nodes which have those textures, then replace one with the other node
19:07 thoughtjigs Yes, discovered that. Have been working in the latest git branch to understand why it fails. I can register a new node on the fly (with some hacks) but then the new node is not available
19:07 thoughtjigs or rather iit is available as giveme works
19:07 thoughtjigs but the textures are missing
19:08 thoughtjigs is there some way to force a node to reload?
19:09 thoughtjigs I am also getting an error in minetest-dev that says I can't send to channel
19:09 Krock You need a regular IRC client (not web-based)
19:10 thoughtjigs ahh
19:10 Krock Also, you simply can_not_change_node_textures while the game is running
19:10 thoughtjigs understood
19:10 Krock :)
19:10 thoughtjigs trying to fix the cpp code so that it will work
19:10 thoughtjigs wondering why it doesn't
19:12 thoughtjigs lol not here asking for someone else to do it for me ... just looking for insight into why it is not available so that I can narrow my search (in the code) down a bit
19:14 thoughtjigs any insights would be helpful

19:52 Taoki Hmmm... I just realized something interesting. With the new ability to have mesh nodes, it should be a lot easier to create signs with text printed directly on them!
19:53 exio4 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EXio4/yixem/master/example.yxm
19:53 Taoki Just make one mesh containing a lot of planes, each as a different material. You can then texture each material as a single letter.
19:53 Taoki Previously signs had to spawn one Lua entity for each letter, which was very ugly.

20:06 kaeza Taoki, that has the same problems as nodes: you cannot change textures dynamically at runtime
20:06 Taoki kaeza: I think you can. Materials can be textured independently
20:07 Taoki On the same object, and at any time
20:08 kaeza are you talking about entities or meshnodes?
20:09 kaeza entities = yes, meshnodes = nope.avi
20:09 Taoki I was thinking of the sign still being a nodebox, and spawning only one entity to contain the text
20:09 Taoki Meshnoest wouldn't be possible because the entire sign would have to be mesh :)
20:09 Taoki Which wouldn't be that bad, but yeah
20:11 kaeza uhh... that's how it's done currently (except using texture composition, instead of multiple materials)
20:12 kaeza the sign is a regular nodebox, and the text is an entity
20:17 kaeza the issue currently is that the texture string sent to the client is way too big (I'd say about 16 bytes / char). would prefer a proper way of doing it (something like `^[text:foo.ttf:12:#FF0000:Hello!`)

20:21 gravgun kaeza: even more texture string functions?
20:24 kaeza yeah
20:25 gravgun How would we handle things like font antialias here? Always disabled?
20:30 kaeza I'd prefer to at least have some text drawing texture modifier, even if it just uses the default font with whatever size & settings
20:31 kaeza the current way of drawing signs' text is a huge (clever) hack
20:31 gravgun ikr
20:32 gravgun although i'd prefer a way more flexible texture manipulation interface, the texture strings Just Worksâ„¢

20:51 Megaf weird, I installed fglrx driver from Debian repo and now gdm3 and gnome will no longer start
