00:30 est31       any way to get path_user from inside lua?
00:31 est31       porting::path_user
00:33 lordawe     hi guys
00:34 lordawe     is any linux user here pls?
00:34 marktraceur !ask
00:34 marktraceur lordawe: Hello! When you're on IRC it's usually good practice to jump right in and ask a question, as it saves time for everyone involved :) how can we help you?
00:35 lordawe     I have maged to install and run MT 0.4.11 on Kodibuntu (lubuntu)
00:35 lordawe     but I can't find where is minetest.conf stored
00:35 lordawe     I am ew to linux
00:35 lordawe     new
00:35 marktraceur lordawe: You may need to create it.
00:36 lordawe     well, I even do not know where is the rest of MT files :)
00:36 marktraceur Well, where did you put them?
00:37 lordawe     i have installed it from Synaptic
00:37 lordawe     and executable is in /usr/share/applications
00:38 lordawe     I just see it under menu>games>minetest
00:44 lordawe     there is something in /usr/bin/X11/
00:46 lordawe     minetest and minetestserver
00:47 acerspyro   wait what
00:47 acerspyro   Wtf would it be doing in /usr/bin/X11?
00:48 lordawe     I have found it
00:48 lordawe     in /usr/share/minetest
00:49 lordawe     that in X11 was some symlink
00:49 acerspyro   impossible
00:49 acerspyro   oh the config
00:49 acerspyro   ok
00:50 lordawe     please, how can I run MT server in lubuntu? it should autostart after the boot
00:51 lordawe     i can run it on windows easily
00:53 lordawe     oh, I have found it http://wiki.minetest.net/Setting_up_a_server
00:53 lordawe     thx
01:09 lordawe     minetest.conf was in hidden dir /home/user/.minetest/
01:10 lordawe     cya
01:28 neal        have you guys been haggled by mojang or microsoft?
01:29 acerspyro   No
01:29 acerspyro   and never will
01:29 neal        cool
01:29 acerspyro   We are true to our open-source
01:29 acerspyro   We stand high on the pile of cocaine and dope.
01:30 acerspyro   That is how we get our money. Fuck corporations.
01:30 neal        how hard is it to mod the game?
01:30 acerspyro   neal: very not hard.
01:30 acerspyro   Just learn some lua, learn how to use the API
01:30 acerspyro   And that should be it
01:31 Caleneledh  I can attest to that.  It's a little unusual at first (especially if you haven't used lua before) but it's fairly easy to pick up.
01:32 est31       I want my if (value = get_value) == nil
01:32 sofar       was reasonably easy for me to switch from bukkit to minetest, even wrote a game engine C++ patch already within 2 weeks of hacking a lua mod
01:33 acerspyro   sofar sogood, sowhat?
01:33 sofar       the problem is that I've identified at least 4-5 areas where major work needs to be done - so my TODO has grown ;)
01:33 crazyR      ^ +1
01:59 Brains      sofar: That isn't a problem, that is opportunity!  </crazy_person>

03:50 T4im        is there any active use of get_craft_recipe?
03:51 T4im        I think it returns the locked chest recipe for me when I request the default chest :/

05:48 sofar       in git, it appears door sounds don't play if you use the door bottom instead of the top
05:48 sofar       anyone seen that?
05:56 T4im        hmm… shouldn't they share the collisionbox by now?
05:56 T4im        eh… selectionbox
05:56 T4im        oh they don't
05:56 T4im        well that would explain that
05:57 T4im        while I don't have that problem with the sound, having two separate selectionboxes for the same door seems unnecessary
05:58 T4im        though your sound problem is probably introduced by 6157982… haven't that locally yet
06:23 LazyJ       What are the pros and cons of using mesh nodes in Minetest?
06:23 LazyJ       When to use them when not to use them, why, etc.
09:53 JamesTait   Good morning all; happy Data Protection Day! :-D
10:32 kaeza       mornings

10:36 LazyJ       o/
13:23 zatherz     hmm, I haven't played this for a while and wanted to check it out again
13:23 zatherz     but the game hangs when I join a server
13:25 zatherz     nothing in log
13:26 zatherz     with --verbose I see that it hangs after "14:26:00: INFO[main]: Audio: Deinitializing..."
13:33 zatherz     loading worlds also doesn't work
13:37 twoelk      zatherz: what servers are you trying?
13:37 zatherz     new local world and m.ayntest.net
13:37 zatherz     none of servers from the server list work too
13:37 zatherz     it even hangs on non existant servers
13:38 twoelk      it always hangs on connecting to if the server does not exist
13:38 zatherz     but what about it hanging on local worlds and existing servers?
13:40 twoelk      https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2219 <- like that?
13:40 zatherz     no
13:41 zatherz     no additional mods are installed and it does not segfault
13:41 zatherz     it just hangs
13:41 zatherz     the game hangs I mean
13:41 twoelk      hehe or that? -> https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4057&p=168553#p168552
13:41 zatherz     no
13:41 twoelk      ah new issue
13:41 twoelk      cool
13:42 zatherz     using Arch Linux x86_64
13:42 zatherz     minetest 0.4.11
13:42 zatherz     and irrlicht 1.8.1
13:42 zatherz     I'll try minetest-git from UAR
13:42 zatherz     *AUR
13:43 twoelk      0.4.11 stable was pretty unstable :D
13:44 zatherz     building
13:44 twoelk      that's why v0.4.12 is only a few hours away or days or ....
13:45 zatherz     ...years
13:46 * twoelk    btw hasn't a clue how to rule out soundcard related problems
13:47 twoelk      yeah like - reality takes a look at minetest relaease plan schedule and laughs
13:47 twoelk      -a
13:49 sfan5       zatherz: if nothing helps you can compile a build that doesn't include sound support
13:51 Kalabasa    How do I get the entity name of an entity?
13:58 Kalabasa    Hm. get_entity_name() is deprecated.
13:58 Kalabasa    What's the new way
13:59 Kalabasa    Agh whatever. I'm using get_entity_name()
14:00 Kalabasa    Which doesn't work
14:05 diemartin   Kalabasa, obj:get_luaentity().name
14:05 Kalabasa    Ok, thanks.
14:05 Kalabasa    class properties aren't in the lua api documentation. only methods...
14:07 diemartin   they are here: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L2735
14:07 diemartin   but `name` is not listed...
15:20 niebieski   Hey guys, I'm trying to build the game using the one line script on the forums but it doesn't work, I'm using Ubuntu 12.4
15:21 niebieski   is it because the game is currently is unbuildable for this version ?
15:28 sfan5       niebieski: what error do you get?
15:30 niebieski   It's a block of text actually.
15:30 Neolink_    Hi world
15:30 Neolink_    i need help again
15:31 Neolink_    18:29:35: ERROR[main]: ModError: ModError: Failed to load and run C:\Games\minetest-0.4.10-cb2d467-win32Sfen\bin\..\mods\neko259nature\init.lua
15:31 sfan5       niebieski: pastebin there error
15:31 Neolink_    What is it?
15:31 sfan5       Neolink_: what else does it say?
15:31 VanessaE    Neolink_: outdated Minetest and outdated mod, and badly named mod.
15:32 niebieski   sfan5, http://pastebin.com/Vmwvz5pV
15:33 sfan5       yup
15:33 sfan5       niebieski: libsnappy on ubuntu is broken
15:33 Neolink_    What is name good?
15:33 sfan5       niebieski: on 12.04 at least
15:33 VanessaE    Neolink_: it should just be called "nature".
15:33 niebieski   sfan5, Alright.
15:37 sfan5       niebieski: either build with leveldb disabled (-DENABLE_LEVELDB=0) or uninstall leveldb, download https://sfan5.pf-control.de/libleveldb-1.18-ubuntu12.04.7z and extract it into /usr/
15:37 Neolink_    good, i have renamed mods and it work
15:38 Neolink_    Thanks you
15:38 VanessaE    Neolink_: you should consider the plantlife modpack instead.
15:38 VanessaE    the old ature mod is badly outdated
15:38 VanessaE    nature*
15:41 Neolink_    sfan5: your client (0.4.11) don't work on my computere
15:42 VanessaE    Neolink_: I don't suppose you're running Windows 7 are you?
15:42 sfan5       Neolink_: try updating to a newer version
15:43 Neolink_    VanessaE: i had downloaded latest version of this mod
15:43 VanessaE    Neolink_: what windows are you running?
15:43 Neolink_    XP
15:44 VanessaE    oh.
15:44 Neolink_    I'm russian
15:44 Neolink_    Wa are poors all
15:45 niebieski   Don't say that Neo.
15:45 exio4       could be worse, could be latin america
15:45 VanessaE    sfan5: MichaelEh is unable to run any of your builds on either his XP (SP3) or win 7.1 Enterprise machines.  related?
15:46 sfan5       ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
15:46 sfan5       i dunno
15:49 hmmmm       http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/01/27/9
15:50 niebieski   sfan5, Thanks for the help it worked. :)
15:51 niebieski   I disabled leveldb, but I don't know what is that really. xD
16:30 niebieski   I think this is not the updated version.
16:31 niebieski   Because on the changelog it says that the dropped items are made larger and rotate faster which is not what I see.

19:34 Jordach     kaeza, update yer BFD
19:57 twoelk      just noticed something strange
19:58 twoelk      was playing on a server and the blocks above me were not loading
19:59 twoelk      but when I dug som gravel the whole column would be calculated correctly
19:59 twoelk      so that all not loaded gravel appeared when needing to fall
20:01 twoelk      thus I could mine a stack of ten when only three where shown at any time
20:16 rubenwardy  http://mediacru.sh :(

20:36 twoelk      I guess we will need our own media service at some time, maybe restricted to on subject forum posts :(
21:09 kaeza       mediacrush is dead D:
21:09 kaeza       back to imgur then

22:35 shadowzone  How come we have the "Change Keys" button and the "f7" to toggle 3rd person view isn't in there? also, before you tell me to git pull and recompile I just did that about 5 minutes ago.
23:07 est31       is there any lua function to determine the size of some text?
23:08 acerspyro   y = ax + b
23:09 est31       that was a joke too, wasn't it?
23:13 acerspyro   You thought I was serious?
23:18 est31       no
23:18 est31       :D
23:20 est31       I'm just asking, as the error handler from the main menu is very ugly with long lua errors: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/builtin/fstk/ui.lua#L62
23:53 crazyR      has anyone got a bash script that would make a map in 4 sections then merge the 4 sections into one...
23:54 acerspyro   A bash script? Can a bash script do that?
23:54 crazyR      i presume os. it would run the mapper 4 times with the diffent geometries then use image magik or somethihng to merge the images
23:54 crazyR      *presume so
