00:10 ciwolsey how do you make a node that you can pick up after you destroy it?

01:01 ciwolsey anyone know if theres a way to check if a sound is playing?
01:01 ciwolsey im trying to play a sound when a node is put down and stop it when its destroyed
01:01 ciwolsey but if i stop the sound and its not already playing i get an error
01:47 jojoa1997 ciwolsey then check if the sound is playing and stop the sound
01:47 ciwolsey not sure how to check
01:47 ciwolsey i only see start and stop
01:47 jojoa1997 or you can have a variable that is set to a value when you start the sound and then when you stop it you change the variable back to the original
01:48 jojoa1997 then you check to see if the variable is in the "sound is on" state
01:48 ciwolsey yeah i thought about that
01:48 ciwolsey the problem is then keeping track of multple boxes
01:49 jojoa1997 It has been too long since i coded so i dont remember a way
01:49 ciwolsey no worries
01:49 jojoa1997 oh maybe something with metadata could help you
01:49 jojoa1997 though i never bothered to learn it
01:49 ciwolsey just going through that now

02:04 Zeno` joined #minetest
02:05 ciwolsey is there a way to change the texture on a node?
02:06 VanessaE not at runtime
02:06 ciwolsey i need to provide some sort of feedback
02:06 ciwolsey based on the meta
02:06 VanessaE you can register two or more nodes with a given set of textures on each
02:07 VanessaE and then switch between them
02:07 VanessaE or you can use the special_tiles feature
02:07 VanessaE that's meant for "on/off" or other "alternate" states.
02:07 ciwolsey but wont i lose the meta data if i do that?
02:07 ciwolsey no this is multiple value
02:07 VanessaE not if you use the swap_node() call.
02:07 ciwolsey oh nice
02:08 ciwolsey perfect!
02:08 ciwolsey thanks!
02:08 VanessaE yw :)

06:05 Fritigern I just logged on to VanessaE's creative server using the latest nightly and..... everything is red! That is, the environment is. The blocks in my inventory as well as the wielded ones are the correct color, and light sources all seems to emit yellow light only. Gonna log onto some other servers and see if this happens elsewhere (though i wouldn;t know why it would only happen on Nessie's creative
06:06 Zeno` errr, that would be a shaders problem probably
06:06 daswort joined #minetest
06:08 Fritigern Zeno`: OpenGL 4.4.0, no driver updates/changes since the last time i built MT.
06:08 Zeno` does your script make sure the client shader files are copied/updated properly?
06:10 Fritigern What folder are they supposed to be in?
06:10 Zeno` umm
06:10 Zeno` dunno :)
06:10 Zeno` client/shaders/
06:11 Fritigern Then no, but it will from now on
06:15 Zeno` fixed? :)

06:34 Zeno` yeah
06:34 Fritigern Okay, then i am not worried
06:34 Zeno` daily backup time has changed to... to whatever time it is now :)
06:35 Fritigern It's a bit later than it was a few minutes ago, but earlier than a few minutes from now :-)

18:26 MoIn joined #minetest
18:26 DFeniks can it be made so when i open console mouse is free ? so i can for example use onscreen keyboard?
18:27 Krock haven't got a keyboard?
18:27 STHGOM does it tax ram or cpu?
18:27 DFeniks or make so that chat use russian language correctly?
18:28 DFeniks i dont have russian symbols on real keyboard and im bad at blind typing
18:28 Calinou STHGOM, nope
18:28 Krock DFeniks, that's a text-encoding format fail
18:29 Calinou the texture compilation is done at load time
18:29 Krock we must add UTF-8 to support all languages
18:29 DFeniks and trying to communicate with russian speaking people is such a pain in ***
18:30 Krock Character conversion failed!
18:30 STHGOM so could make tracks appear on all crumbly nodes when players step on them it would be fine?
18:32 Calinou the problem is that you call a function on a regular basis when you want to add tracks below players
18:32 Calinou you need to change all nodes players step on…
18:32 Calinou don't even attempt this, it'll be too heavy
18:33 STHGOM hmm
18:38 DFeniks the moonrealm have some code for footprints on dust and it was heavy for weak machine . the same code is also in moontest but it doesnt seem to work currently
18:39 DFeniks not sure if it was footprints that was heavy or some other part of mod , but it was heavy
18:43 DFeniks but then again that machine was really weak like 800mhz 512ram
18:44 Jordach !tell john_minetest getting a graphics tablet soonish
18:44 MinetestBot Jordach: I'll pass that on when john_minetest is around
18:47 STHGOM there is a track mod that has a "track" node

21:47 roniz_ I created an 8chan board for minetest
21:47 roniz_ dunno if it will be useful http://8chan.co/mt
21:48 VanessaE *8*chan?
21:49 roniz_ yeah
21:49 roniz It was created after the gamergate thing. Its just 4chan but you can make your own boards
21:50 roniz and the admin is a nice guy
21:50 roniz so anyway, how are you VanessaE
21:50 VanessaE I'm ok
21:51 roniz good
21:51 roniz I have a question
21:52 VanessaE hm>
21:52 roniz why does v7 mapgen have no biomes?
21:52 VanessaE ask hmmmm or paramat
21:53 roniz hmmmm,
21:53 roniz why does v7 mapgen have no biomes?
21:53 VanessaE heh
21:54 roniz I really appreciate the mods and stuff you make for minetest
21:55 roniz its good stuff
21:55 VanessaE thanks, I do my best :)
21:55 roniz you do pipes right?
21:55 VanessaE nore did most of the code, I just did the nodes etc
21:56 VanessaE but I started it yeah
21:56 roniz cool
21:56 roniz I am probably going to start a minetest server soon
21:57 roniz do you have a good hunger/food/farming mod?
21:58 VanessaE I have not written any mods like that, but moretrees and bushes classic (the latter is part of plantlife) provide some food, and I use the standard farming mod present in minetest_game and
21:58 VanessaE and farming_plus
21:58 roniz I see
21:58 roniz I dont want this to feel like an interview so last question
21:58 roniz is this you IRL? https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?avatar=1580.png
21:58 VanessaE there are a couple of hunger mods out there at leas, also
21:59 VanessaE yes, it is.
22:00 roniz just wondered because usually people don't post actual pictures of them selves online
22:00 VanessaE well when you're 40 and you don't have to answer to anyone else, you tend not to worry about things like that :)
22:01 roniz fair enough
22:03 roniz I was thinking of doing some ancient times RP on a server. Romans and shit

22:25 est31 Anybody knows of a mod that creates 100x100x100 caves underground?
22:25 phantombeta joined #minetest
22:26 VanessaE caverealms mod does that
22:26 VanessaE and adds a LOT to the caves
22:26 VanessaE by default said caves are very deep
22:26 marktraceur I was about to say "oh, yes, the oddly_specific_mod mod does that"
22:26 VanessaE note that the engine does make its own caves too, though smaller and mroe winding
22:26 VanessaE caverealms are big, cavernous ones
22:28 est31 yes I know. Its no perlin caves. Its more like: take the default mapgen and replace 100x100x100 with stone, while I think the ground is varying
22:28 VanessaE well caverealms doesn't do like THAT
22:28 est31 and unlike in caverealms there are no biomes inside the cave
22:29 VanessaE else you'd have to code something for that I guess
22:29 marktraceur est31: Maybe you just want an admin map editor tool
22:29 est31 s/with stone/with air/
22:30 est31 can you write permanent mapgen scripts with worldedit that don't show up in the /mods list?
22:30 VanessaE idk
22:30 VanessaE if you modify worldedit itself, sure
22:30 VanessaE (or some other mod that's already in the list)... otherwise probably not

22:32 STHGOM joined #minetest
22:33 STHGOM can you change a player's collision box?
22:34 VanessaE I think so, never tried though
22:35 VanessaE players are objects/entities, and you can change an object's properties on the fly
22:35 VanessaE so...er...try it?
22:36 STHGOM ill try to try it :D
22:36 roniz joined #minetest
22:38 VanessaE well you can change most of an object's properties anyway
22:43 mitrom joined #minetest

22:46 VanessaE I don't remember
22:47 phantombeta joined #minetest
22:54 STHGOM how would one use that?
22:56 STHGOM nvm i figure it out someday

23:14 paramat STHGOM, https://github.com/paramat/trail it's not particularly heavy, you can reduce the parameters FUNCHA and FOOCHA to make it lighter, tracks will then not appear on every node stepped on but that's not a problem

23:21 paramat good. halving either of those params makes it twice as light, with footsteps every other node, which is enough
23:22 grondilu joined #minetest
23:22 grondilu Hello
23:23 grondilu just wondering: have many developpers joined the dev-team since the Microsoft buyout of MC?
23:23 VanessaE paramat: you are really font of those 6-8 letter all-caps variables aren't you? :)
23:23 paramat i learned that from your code Vanessa
23:24 VanessaE paramat: heh, and I got it from ironzorg et al. :)
23:24 VanessaE grondilu: not many; officially as part of the core devs, none as far as I know.  A few pull requests and such though.
23:28 paramat well i learned the capitals from you and the abbreviations are to save fingers and for fun words
23:29 kaeza no MECHA? :(
23:33 VanessaE paramat: ah, well like I said I got that from others; these days I tend to be rather.....verbose with my variable names ;)
23:34 est31 DoYouUseCapitals_or_underscores?
23:34 grondilu i there a key to look at oneself?
23:35 est31 f7
23:35 est31 grondilu: ^
23:36 VanessaE usually underscores, but I've used both in the past
23:36 grondilu ok
23:37 VanessaE on systems where the underscore char wasn't available (e.g. back in my C64 days) I used InitialCapitals
23:38 est31 c64 doesn't have ascii? or was it language design?
23:39 VanessaE that was a not-quite-ASCII system
23:39 est31 k thx
23:39 VanessaE where there should be an underscore there was a "←" left arrow
23:41 paramat lol i'm actually a mecha enthusiast
23:42 Viper168 joined #minetest
23:44 VanessaE let's see...  "↑" up arrow in place of caret, "𝛑" pi in place of tilde, "┼" and "│" in place of { and }, and a few others.
23:44 VanessaE and caps/lowercase swapped in the whole charset (0x61 is cap A, 0x41 is lowercase a)
23:45 est31 weird.
23:45 VanessaE yeah
23:46 VanessaE given that the entire lower 128 symbols were used for character definitions, and a few of those were repeats, it always made me wonder why those symbols in particular were changed.
23:46 paramat est31 https://github.com/paramat/subterrain lightweight huge cave mod without biomes
23:46 est31 lock in?
23:47 VanessaE (the upper 128 symbols were all glyph_images XOR 0xFF)
23:47 jojoa1997 joined #minetest
23:48 VanessaE est31: naw, doubt it.  many tools appeared pretty quickly to handle conversions between that system's character set and ASCII, and you could just redefine it to *be* ASCII if your application called for it.
23:48 VanessaE modem/terminal programs commonly did that.
23:49 est31 grown structure perhaps? why are there different endiannesses?
23:50 VanessaE damned if I know; that system was little-endian as x86 is.
23:52 proller joined #minetest
23:54 est31 paramat: cool mod, but not the one I search.
