00:01 Pilcrow ^btw, I didn't actually look up what that find command does, I just copied it from worldedit and it works. there's probably other ways.
00:01 Chanku okau
00:02 Hijiri joined #minetest
00:03 Wayward__Tab joined #minetest
00:04 Chanku So um...mind if I ask a possibly stupid question?
00:04 Chanku what does this line do:  local found, _, ipsum, dolor = param:find("^([^%s]+)%s+(.+)$") exactly?
00:04 Chanku I can tell it declares the local variables found, _, ipsum, and dolor
00:05 Chanku but I'm not sure what occurs after that (although I know that dolor's value is being set to something...)
00:06 LedInfrared joined #minetest
00:07 kaeza_ Chanku http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-string.find
00:08 Chanku and the "^([^%s]+)%s+(.+)$" string is...
00:09 Pilcrow Chanku: yes, it declares all 4 of them as local variables. param is stored as a string by default. param:find splits the param into parts. the "^([^%s]+)%s+(.+)$" is a [regex?] pattern, to tell it *how* to split param (in this case, it splits by spaces, but obeys quotes if you need a param with spaces).
00:10 Chanku Alright
00:10 Chanku From what I can tell
00:10 Chanku it is Regex
00:14 Fusl joined #minetest
00:15 * Chanku reads over lua Regex
00:17 Pilcrow oh, Chanku, the pastie I sent you will cause an error if the user didn't give it enough params. it needs one more line to fix it. http://pastie.org/10195737#7
00:17 exio4 regex hell
00:17 exio4 we need parser combinators
00:18 Pilcrow exio4: honestly, regex is too crypic for me to have researched it much. I usually just google for a pattern that does what I want, lol...  :P
00:19 Chanku I hate regex's....
00:20 srij joined #minetest
00:20 Pilcrow Chanku: yeah... but, at least it works. not like it's any kind of readable though, lol.
00:20 Chanku Yeah
00:20 Chanku They work
00:21 Chanku But they are rather ugly
00:22 Pilcrow agreed. I'm sure there's a more readable way, but it's probably also much more code to do the same thing.
00:22 Chanku True
00:23 Pilcrow btw, Chanku... your nickname reminds me of the old Dreamcast emulator, Chankast...  :P
00:24 exio4 Pilcrow: that readable thing you are sure that exists, is called parser combinators
00:24 twoelk|2 joined #minetest
00:25 Fusl joined #minetest
00:25 exio4 instead of ^[0-9]+@[a-z]+\.[a-z]+$, you could have somehting like many digit *> char '@' *> many alpha *> char '.' *> many alpha *> endofline
00:25 Pilcrow exio4: ah. I've never heard the term, so I didn't know what that is.
00:26 est31 its not the unix way
00:26 est31 the unix way is knowing the bits of chmod
00:28 exio4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parser_combinator
00:28 exio4 https://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~gmh/pearl.pdf
00:28 est31 first I read perl and thought it would be something interesting
00:29 exio4 it's basically abstracting the boring and cumbersome parts of parsing into parametric/generic high order functions
00:29 est31 then I read haskell
00:29 exio4 it's a functional pearl
00:29 Chanku Pilcrow Heh I actually found out that emulator existed a few months ago....and I made that connection :P
00:31 Pilcrow est31 and exio4: is there any way to do such a thing in a minetest mod? sounds more useful than regex, since it can be more easily understood...
00:32 exio4 I'll implement parser combinators in lua, give me a day
00:32 est31 lol
00:32 Viper168 joined #minetest
00:32 est31 cool
00:32 kaeza__ joined #minetest
00:32 Pilcrow heh
00:35 Pilcrow Chanku: yeah, unfortunately that emulator hasn't seen a single update in 10+ years. but, some of its code did get used in NullDC, which was the origin of the now-thriving Android Dreamcast emulator, Reicast...  :D
00:35 * Pilcrow is an emulation junkie
00:36 Viper168_ joined #minetest
00:36 kaeza__ Pilcrow, regexes aren't that hard once you start using thwm
00:37 exio4 as long as you don't have to mantain them
00:37 kaeza__ Plus Lua's "patterns" are pretty limited
00:39 kaeza__ For example, it doesn't support things like"(foo|bar)" (which sucks btw)
00:39 Pilcrow kaeza__: maybe not, but they're too cryptic to really figure out much. I've been 'using' them for years, and still have to google it whenever I want to do anything new. I'll agree that lua's patterns are pretty bad, though...  :P
00:40 kaeza__ :-P
00:40 Chanku Welp
00:41 Chanku This has been slightly productive....
00:41 Pilcrow lol
00:41 Chanku I now have a very basic group mod thingy...
00:41 Chanku and I do mean VERY basic....
00:42 Pilcrow well, it's gotta start somewhere, huh?  :)
00:42 Chanku Yeah
00:43 Chanku although this is the second time I've actually tried this
00:43 Chanku the first time I couldn't get commands to work
00:43 Chanku and I got some other things in....but I lost the data when I messed up my Debian install and had to reinstall
00:44 Pilcrow ah, yeah. it happens. that's why good backup medium is important.
00:45 Chanku Yup
00:45 Pilcrow although I stick most of my mod projects into my dropbox, so if my computer stops working I've got them on a bunch of other stuff. works pretty well!
00:45 exio4 http://lua-users.org/wiki/FunctionalTuples so cute
00:45 exio4 church-encoding to the rescue
00:47 kaeza__ lol fp
00:48 * kaeza__ hides
00:49 exio4 </3
00:49 Pilcrow exio4: what's with the </3  ?
00:50 exio4 kaeza__'s reaction
00:51 kaeza__ No sideeffects = no fun
00:51 exio4 no fun = code easier to mantain
00:51 Pilcrow kaeza__: what did you mean by fp? floating point?
00:51 exio4 functional programming
00:51 Pilcrow oh
00:51 kaeza__ Live fast die young etc etc
00:52 Pilcrow ah, ok
00:52 exio4 (anyway, IP is the boring one, where are your profunctors?)
00:53 kaeza__ Prowaht
00:53 est31 btw exio4 what do you do right now? are you a student? do you already have a job?
00:53 kaeza__ Don't need no gimmicks
00:53 Pilcrow let's all just go back to BASIC. I'm sure I have a copy of GW-BASIC on my old 386...  :P
00:53 kaeza__ int main is the true way
00:54 Pilcrow 1 GOTO 1
00:55 exio4 est31: student :P
00:55 est31 what are you studying? functional programming :p
00:55 kaeza__ all hail C</lamefun>
00:55 exio4 no, we won't "learn" anything even related to FP in 2~ years, AFAIK
00:56 est31 CS?
00:57 exio4 systems engineering, boring stuff
00:57 Pilcrow let's just rebase the minetest modding API around Javascript. sound like a plan?  :P
00:58 est31 sounds like a very huge plan
00:58 Pilcrow lol. and bad.
00:58 est31 in my opinion lua is much clearer than js
00:59 est31 there are some areas where it could be better
00:59 est31 but js has just tons of weirdnesses
00:59 exio4 Lua is simple
00:59 exio4 something JS can only wish
00:59 est31 yea, right that
00:59 exio4 if there was a rework on the modding api, I would go with Scheme
00:59 est31 js has faster implementations I guess.
01:00 Vazon joined #minetest
01:00 exio4 then someone could write Javascript, if they wanted
01:00 exio4 given that you write enough reader macros...
01:00 est31 exio4, using scripts for the modding api is not to make modding more complicated, but to make it easier.
01:00 Chanku The Minetest api should use Brainfuck if it were to be rewritten
01:01 exio4 est31: ?
01:01 Pilcrow haha brainfuck
01:01 Pilcrow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck
01:01 est31 exio4, you could have c++ based mods too
01:01 Chanku Although more seriously I'd go with something like Python...
01:01 est31 but their problem is that most people dont like it
01:01 exio4 Python is crap
01:02 est31 no dont come with this snake stuff
01:02 exio4 est31: what'd be wrong with Scheme?
01:02 exio4 Python as a language is a good bad joke that people actually seriously :>
01:02 est31 just my opinion
01:03 Chanku I guess ArnoldC would be another good option then :P
01:03 exio4 est31: I don't know how Scheme wouldn't be "scripty enough" for a modding API, and because of it's lisp syntax and macros, you could also have extremely neat domain specific languages for pretty much anything
01:03 Pilcrow Python's slowness would be the biggest problem though, from a modder standpoint. no one would want to make a Python landgen...  :P
01:03 exio4 I didn't even think about performance
01:03 Chanku Another Good option seems to be Malbolge....
01:04 Chanku http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbolge
01:04 exio4 yes, I agree
01:04 exio4 :>
01:04 est31 lol
01:04 exio4 between Python and Malboge, I'd go with Malboge, at least that one will make people realize it's a joke
01:04 est31 ('&%:9]!~}|z2Vxwv-,POqponl$Hjig%eB@@>}=<M:9wv6WsU2T|nm-,jcL(I&%$#"
01:04 est31 `CB]V?Tx<uVtT`Rpo3NlF.Jh++FdbCBA@?]!~|4XzyTT43Qsqq(Lnmkj"Fhg${z@>
01:04 exio4 :D
01:04 est31 trivial, isn't it?
01:04 Chanku I guess ArnoldC would be better.... http://lhartikk.github.io/ArnoldC/
01:04 Pilcrow let's just use bash as a modding API and split the commands into their own binaries, lol
01:05 est31 then you can write mods using php
01:06 exio4 PHP yay
01:06 Pilcrow yup. to heck with sandboxing, you cound make a visual file manager as a minetest game.  :D
01:06 Chanku Eww php....
01:06 est31 sandboxing can be done too
01:06 Pilcrow lol
01:06 Pilcrow yes, I'm just being dumb now.
01:06 est31 https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/sandbox/Sandbox-FAQ
01:07 exio4 sandboxing would be easier on a language with a pure language
01:07 exio4 er,
01:07 est31 what is pure
01:07 exio4 on a pure language with a static type system
01:07 exio4 est31: side-effect-less
01:07 est31 side-effect-less?
01:07 exio4 a language without implicit side effects
01:08 Chanku Wait....why don't we write minetest mods in pure x86 assembly?
01:08 Chanku :P
01:08 est31 llvm assembly would be better
01:08 est31 then we could use that other chromium technology
01:08 Chanku ...
01:08 est31 :b
01:09 exio4 modelling sandboxing after a static type system sounds like a neat way to do it
01:09 Chanku I'm not sure if you got the purpose of my x86 assembly joke...
01:09 exio4 :>
01:09 Chanku then again I'm not familiar with llvm assembly so....
01:10 est31 llvm assembly has the advantage of being portable
01:10 Chanku ah
01:10 est31 basically its like java bytecode just closer to the bare metal
01:10 Chanku my x86 assembly joke was based upon the fact that it's generally regarded as insane and something you just don't want to touch unless necessary or something like that
01:10 est31 this way, you can write a compiler for a language and get it compile on different platforms
01:11 exio4 I like that idea
01:11 Chanku basically x86 assembly very hard to code only in....
01:11 exio4 nobody writes x86
01:11 exio4 we use it as a final target
01:11 exio4 x86 ASM *
01:11 est31 yea you have to know tons about the operating system
01:13 Pilcrow Chanku: any kind of assembly is something nobody really touches. unless, of course, you're developing a new architecture that doesn't have a proper compiler yet...
01:14 Chanku Again a bit of a joke.
01:14 Xenoth joined #minetest
01:14 Pilcrow that, or hacking a game (in certain cases)...
01:15 Hijiri joined #minetest
01:16 Xenoth joined #minetest
01:16 Pilcrow but yes, Chanku, I got the joke. the brainfuck one was better though; HOW would you do anything useful with THAT?  :D
01:17 Chanku Simple
01:17 Chanku VERY slowly and VERY carefully
01:17 Chanku and with several, several, years of practice and learning
01:17 exio4 nah
01:17 exio4 you'd just write a compiler from a nice language to brainfuck
01:17 Chanku Still need to learn brainfuck....
01:18 exio4 just enough to write a compiler
01:18 est31 brainfuck is an assembler language
01:18 Pilcrow simplest one I can think of though. no jumps or anything...
01:19 Pilcrow https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat
01:22 ClaudeRoy joined #minetest
01:29 exio4 uhhm
01:30 exio4 how do work with strings on lua
01:34 est31 ?
01:34 est31 concat?
01:34 exio4 no, I need to index the nth element on a string
01:35 est31 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/829063/how-to-iterate-individual-characters-in-lua-string
01:36 exio4 string.sub(s,i,i)
01:36 exio4 thanks
01:39 luizrpgluiz joined #minetest
01:40 Pilcrow oh. haha. something I could've actually helped exio4 with, and I was busy reading something...  :P
01:43 exio4 aww
01:44 Chanku Alright so I have a general modding question....
01:45 Chanku When would it ever be practical to override a node from another mod?
01:46 Pilcrow when your mod needs to 'enhance' what another mod's node does. for example, most hunger mods will override default:apple and farming:bread to add fullness in addition to health (or instead of it, in some cases)...
01:46 Chanku Alright
01:47 jojoa1997 joined #minetest
01:49 Pilcrow Chanku: another simple example is my lava limit mod, which makes trolling harder. it overrides bucket:bucket_lava to add an elevation check into its on_place function (to prevent players placing lava above sea-level: https://github.com/Pilcrow182/lava_limit
01:50 Wayward_Tab joined #minetest
01:52 Pilcrow Chanku: although, that lava_limit mod should really check minetest's water_level setting, instead of using a static 0. it was just something I threw together in 5min because someone was asking for it (Calinou, I think?)
01:56 Pilcrow but yeah, exio4, I actually used string.sub in one of my recent mods quite heavily. that mod still needs some major work though.
02:02 exio4 ;_;
02:02 exio4 unfair
02:03 exio4 how do you check if something is an "empty" table?
02:03 Pilcrow exio4: what's unfair?
02:03 exio4 do I need to add nil all over my code?
02:03 Chanku exio4 I'd check the length of a table
02:03 Chanku and if the length is 0/nil then do that...you could probably put it into a function as well....
02:04 Chanku although I might be incorrect
02:04 Pilcrow exio4: if a table is empty, it still won't be nil. it'll be {}. so to check it something like this should work: if #tablename == 0 then return end
02:05 Chanku Welp that was interesting...
02:05 Shackra joined #minetest
02:05 Chanku I just finished setting up geany to launch minetest upon me clicking execute
02:06 Pilcrow Chanku: oh. that's a good idea!  :D
02:06 exio4 thanks
02:06 Pilcrow np
02:06 exio4 I forgot length is O(1) >.>
02:07 exio4 now, this code isn't working
02:07 exio4 I think it'll be easier to rewrite it now that I am used to the syntax
02:07 Pilcrow heh, exio4. decided to learn some more lua?
02:07 exio4 not really
02:08 Chanku I can also start a server from it as well
02:08 Pilcrow Chanku: cool
02:08 Chanku This means that I just have to hit f5 and I can test it quickly :P
02:08 Chanku It also opens up a terminal
02:09 Pilcrow heh. now if only it could interpret your debug log to tell you where an error happened...  :P
02:09 exio4 hmm
02:10 exio4 ohhhhhhh damn
02:10 Pilcrow exio4: what exactly are you doing, anyway? you're not a lua programmer....  :D
02:10 Chanku I could probably set that up :P
02:11 Pilcrow (not like it's HARD to become familiar with lua, mind you)
02:12 exio4 Pilcrow: trying to implement some extremely inefficient set of parser combinators
02:12 Pilcrow ohhh, that.
02:14 exio4 ikr :P
02:15 Pilcrow exio4: the best source for general info is the lua website iteslf. they have their own guide. http://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html
02:16 exio4 I have it open
02:17 exio4 I am not used to the syntax
02:17 Pilcrow ok, just thought I'd point it out in case.
02:18 Pilcrow really, the only sites I use for minetest modding reference are that guide and dev.minetest.net
02:18 Pilcrow and the occasional stackoverflow post.
02:19 Chanku And that's somewhat done
02:19 Chanku It now prints out what's in debug.txt
02:20 exio4 Pilcrow: being used to having a type system doesn't help either :P
02:20 Chanku I could theoretically use regex to get the first error output and then display what comes after instead...
02:21 Miner_48er joined #minetest
02:22 Fusl joined #minetest
02:22 exio4 I don't even know how to start debugging this lol
02:22 exio4 http://dpaste.com/0R9KVZJ
02:23 Chanku Well are you getting an error when you run it that starts from there?
02:23 Pilcrow exio4: heh, I know that feels. the first language I learned was QBASIC, and I used it quite a lot. it was SO strange going into other languages and not ending my strings in $ any more...  :P
02:23 exio4 there are no errors :(
02:23 Chanku Although I understand the weirdness when you go to a different/new language
02:23 Pilcrow ^ (or declaring variables before using them)
02:23 Chanku Back before I started my programming class I did a bit of java/c programming
02:24 Chanku and the Programming class uses Visual Basic.NET with the .NET 2.0 Framework....
02:24 Chanku So for a while I had nearly everything written in the java/c way before realizing it was wrong
02:24 Chanku and I had simicolons at the end of several lines...
02:24 Chanku :/
02:24 exio4 I am laughing at how non idiomatic this code is
02:27 luizrpgluiz I posted my first mod in wip mods community forum
02:27 exio4 hm
02:27 luizrpgluiz a decorative mod still in alpha state
02:28 luizrpgluiz https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&amp;t=12190
02:28 Pilcrow exio4: well. this is too confusing for me.
02:29 Chanku Welp
02:29 exio4 I need more welp
02:30 Pilcrow luizrpgluiz you might want to try and learn how to use git
02:30 Chanku I now have the Minetest server having it's output go into a different .txt file
02:30 Chanku (That's what my welp is for)
02:30 Pilcrow heh. I know you can do that. never really thought of a use for it, but I suppose it would be good for the geany thing...  :P
02:30 Chanku I don't have all night to dick around with bash scripts though....
02:31 Zeno` joined #minetest
02:31 Chanku I have two scripts
02:31 Chanku one for server
02:31 Chanku and one for client
02:31 exio4 lots of welp
02:31 Chanku server outputs to debug_server.txt and client outputs to debug
02:31 Pilcrow Chanku: do you have all night to bash around with dick scripts?  :P
02:32 Chanku upon running the script it clears out their respective file before launching
02:32 Chanku and Pilcrow I do not
02:32 Pilcrow lol
02:32 Chanku Then upon the server/client dying it prints out what was in the debug file for that program
02:32 Chanku (debug.txt for client, debug_server.txt for server)
02:33 Chanku TBH If I had the time I could have it search the output for the word ERROR and then print out the reast....
02:33 Chanku *rest
02:33 Pilcrow sorry exio4. is est31 still around? maybe he can understand it more than me. as I said, I only learned about parser combinators today, so trying to figure this out is beyond me...
02:34 Pilcrow Chanku: you could probably do that without any regex or anything. grep for 'ERROR'?
02:35 Chanku True, but I don't thing that grep would output all of the text file I need...
02:35 LazyJ joined #minetest
02:35 exio4 I don't know
02:35 exio4 don't worry, I don't understand the code either
02:37 Pilcrow Chanku: I don't remember for sure, but I think there's a cli param to make grep output the line numbers instead of the contents? then you could just use something like cut to output that line and the few after it or something...
02:37 exio4 -c
02:37 exio4 oh
02:37 Pilcrow oh?
02:37 exio4 wait, the number of matches or the line where something matched
02:38 exio4 -c is counting
02:38 Pilcrow exio4: I was thinking the line where something matched.
02:38 exio4 -n is line
02:38 exio4 -n then
02:39 Wayward_One joined #minetest
02:40 Pilcrow although, that might not actually be necessary. I think everything related to an error has ERROR[main] at the beginning of it, so a simple grep would probably work...
02:40 Enke joined #minetest
02:41 Zeno` -C
02:41 Zeno` (capital)
02:42 Zeno` oh line numbers
02:42 Zeno` heh
02:42 Pilcrow one thing that does strike me as odd though. if a mod is enabled and then removed, minetest spits out an ERROR[main]: to say the mod couldn't be found. shouldn't that just be a warning, since it doesn't prevent the server from running?
02:42 Zeno` fsck my internet is slow today
02:43 Pilcrow heh. thanks for your contribution even if it was late. bad weather?
02:43 exio4 Zeno`: -C is context, IIRC?
02:44 Zeno` maybe it's bad weather (although weather isn't that bad). Looking up ISP issues/status page now
02:45 Pilcrow raining here again tonight. and it's supposed to be cold tomorrow, for this time of year. around 54F (12C)
02:45 exio4 hmm
02:45 Pilcrow hmm?
02:47 Pilcrow hmm. I now know 3 different code-pasting websites. dpaste, pastie, and pastebin.
02:47 est31 pastebin.ubuntu.com gist.github.com
02:48 exio4 lpaste.net
02:49 Pilcrow oh. forgot about pastebin.ubuntu.com and gist.github.com... the latter doesn't work right in my browser, and the former is ubuntu, therefore, satan.  :P
02:50 Pilcrow whelp. looks like Zeno`'s internet really is bad tonight.
02:51 Zeno` joined #minetest
02:51 Zeno` err :3
02:51 * exio4 hugs Zeno`
02:52 Pilcrow hey Zeno`. is your connection better now?
02:52 Zeno` this not fair. What am I to do?
02:52 Zeno` Pilcrow, not really
02:52 * Pilcrow hugs Pilcrow
02:52 Zeno` maybe
02:52 Zeno` it comes and goes
02:52 Chanku And done
02:52 Chanku Both scripts now print out the error messages
02:52 Chanku and store it in a debug file
02:53 Pilcrow hey, I was wondering... is there a reason "ignore" is not walkable? it causes weirdness with falling nodes and unloaded chunks...
02:53 exio4 Pilcrow: that's so selfish
02:53 exio4 t
02:54 Pilcrow :P
02:54 Zeno` I thought it was (well kind of... it should stop you falling if it's below you IIRC)

02:56 Zeno` ffs. this internet is shit
02:56 Pilcrow Zeno`: well, it stops you from falling, but I don't really know how. point is, it doesn't stop sand from falling, since it is actually registered with walkable = false...  https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/builtin/game/register.lua#L295
02:57 Chanku Both Client and Server both work now...
02:57 Zeno` oh
02:57 Chanku (The scripts that is)
02:57 Chanku So yeah
02:57 Zeno` hmmmm maybe that's the source of the map corruption errors that I and others have
02:57 Pilcrow Zeno`: I'm asking because of this: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2702
02:58 Zeno` Pilcrow, on "Onez' Server" there has been similar problems. Maybe because of lava or water falling
02:58 Zeno` dunno
02:58 Zeno` database corruption happens if people teleport to their home at the bottom of the world (by teleport I mean using /home or travelnet boxes)
03:02 Pilcrow Zeno`: I have no idea. I think flowing water is still a node rather than an object, isn't it? ignore stops nodes, but since sand and such are entities as they fall, it doesn't stop them. also, when sand updates, it checks if the node under it is walkable and if it's not, it turns into an entity and falls.
03:03 Pilcrow so updating sand on a chunk's lower boundary before the chunk below loads will make the sand fall through the ignore, and then the chunk generates and the sand is "stuck" as an entity within solid rock. and even worse if it's the bottom of the world, since it'll be a random entity falling down into nothingness and possibly going out of the bounds of certain numbers...
03:06 Pilcrow I have anecdotal experience with this wrecking my world, too: I was experimenting with programming a quarry-like machine, in a world composed entirely of falling nodes. when it got to the unloaded chunk underneath, the entire surface started to collapse (and obviously, that many falling nodes ground my server to a halt)...  :P
03:08 Viper168 joined #minetest
03:08 Zeno` lol
03:08 Zeno` speed test doesn't even work because it cannot choose a server to ping
03:08 Zeno` oh there it goes (finally)
03:09 Zeno` 5.51Mbps
03:09 Zeno` seems that ping or name lookup is the main problem
03:10 Pilcrow Zeno`: you run linux right? what happens if you open a terminal and ping google?
03:10 Pilcrow (actually, that can be done in Windows too. I forget windows has a ping as well)
03:11 Zeno` same thing... name lookup takes ages and then after that pings are pretty normal
03:11 Pilcrow huh
03:11 Zeno` e.g. nslookup google.com takes about 15 seconds
03:12 Zeno` ohok 8 seconds
03:12 Pilcrow mine took 0.4 seconds...
03:12 Zeno` $ time nslookup google.com
03:12 Zeno` real    0m8.029s
03:13 Zeno` that doesn't seem good
03:14 Pilcrow not at all
03:14 est31 nslookup is old
03:14 est31 dig is better
03:14 est31 also more minetesty
03:14 Player_2 joined #minetest
03:14 Pilcrow est31: what makes dig better?
03:15 est31 its recommended to use dig instead
03:15 est31 by ISC
03:15 est31 but as it seems they now have removed that recommendation again
03:15 est31 ah whatever
03:16 est31 dig is faster to write
03:16 technomancy minetest is all about digging innit
03:16 est31 you don't call your calls like sysctl org.freedesktop.systemd.init-daemon.start
03:16 est31 you call them like rm -rf /*
03:16 Zeno` dig
03:17 Zeno` dig gives up lol
03:17 Zeno` ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
03:17 Pilcrow lol
03:17 Pilcrow that's pretty bad
03:17 Zeno` dpaste.com I can't connect to at all. GitHub only half loads
03:18 * Zeno` cries
03:18 est31 irc works :D
03:18 est31 and, I guess, minetest too
03:18 est31 dont try one of the dreambuilder servers, also not a crowded one
03:18 est31 but it can be indeed be played
03:18 Pilcrow est31: sort of. he's been lagging behind a bit on irc. it's better than it was before, though...
03:18 est31 you should be patient though

03:24 Chanku Welp that was fun...
03:24 Pilcrow Chanku: was it really?  :P
03:24 Chanku Well What I was working on
03:25 Pilcrow heh. nice to have a new project every now and then...  :3
03:25 Chanku I have a nice workflow now
03:25 Chanku Yeah
03:26 Chanku TBH I was trying to decide if I wanted to try my hand at making Minecraft Mods or Mintest mods :/
03:26 Chanku I think I might go with Minetest mods because it doesn't make me want to rip my hair out and punch someone in the face.
03:26 * Pilcrow wonders if Zeno`'s internet still has a pulse
03:26 Zeno` :(
03:27 Pilcrow Chanku: the community here's cooler.  B)
03:27 Chanku Yeah
03:27 Chanku Less Drama
03:27 * Chanku tends to watch the Minecraft Modding Community from afar at times
03:27 technomancy why would you mod something that's not OSS
03:27 Chanku Because I like playing it.
03:27 technomancy http://p.hagelb.org/11what.gif
03:28 technomancy sorry
03:28 Chanku hm?
03:28 Chanku I mean I really don't care if something is OSS or not
03:28 technomancy putting a lot of effort into a platform that's controlled by someone whose interests are not aligned with yours
03:28 technomancy just doesn't seem very strategic
03:29 Chanku I wouldn't be modding Minecraft directly,but probably be using an API
03:29 Chanku such as Minecraft Forge...
03:29 Pilcrow Chanku: 'less drama'? maybe... but I heard there was a ton of dev in-fighting before the freeminer guys split of from minetest... I dunno, I didn't follow the github/irc scene at the time...
03:29 Pilcrow *split off
03:29 Chanku albeit from what I can tell Lex is a bit of as asshat
03:29 Chanku oh and I remember that
03:29 Chanku I was actually around at that time
03:29 Chanku albeit a ghost
03:30 technomancy yeah, but at any time they could just pull the plug and you'd be screwed
03:30 Chanku :P
03:30 Chanku and?
03:30 technomancy witness the total abandonment of minecraft pi edition
03:30 Chanku Same could be said to the modders of Skyrim or GTA B
03:30 Chanku *GTA V
03:30 technomancy yeah
03:30 Chanku However people mod because they enjoy it
03:30 Chanku they enjoy the game and they want to make something for it
03:30 Chanku maybe it's something others want
03:30 technomancy but skyrim isn't owned by a company with a long history of fucking with its customers
03:31 Chanku or it's something that one person wants, and thinks others might enjoy
03:31 * Chanku chuckles a little
03:31 hmmmm the reason behind the freeminer split is because certain people wanted to add unstable, untested, broken, generally unwanted shit to the engine
03:31 hmmmm things that should not be in the core and should instead be a mod
03:31 hmmmm thankfully they made a fork where they could release some of their pent-up energy
03:32 Chanku Besides I usually release the source of anything I make/work on...
03:32 Chanku If I think someone might find it, even a little bit useful.
03:32 Pilcrow hmmmm: yeah, I know the whole reasoning behind it, and I agree with you. why do you think I stick with minetest and not freeminer? still, there was quite the heated debates around here at the time...
03:33 Chanku Oh yeah tomorrow I have a few finals....
03:33 Chanku -_-
03:33 hmmmm I'm glad people make forks
03:33 Pilcrow there ARE some pretty cool things in freeminer, but it's just too unstable...
03:33 hmmmm if they want to go into a separate direction, then fantastic
03:34 Chanku I also have to do some bug-fixing on my Final Project in my programming class (which is Open Source :P If anyone wants the source I can link it :P)
03:34 hmmmm also minetest classic did this
03:34 hmmmm except forked off of 0.3.x
03:34 Chanku I'm glad forks exists period
03:34 Chanku Ex: Debian-Devuan Fork
03:34 hmmmm that's the one without systemd?
03:34 Chanku Yup
03:35 * Chanku is in the anti-systemd camp
03:35 Chanku :3
03:35 hmmmm hehe
03:35 Chanku In fact that's part of the reason I usually build minetest
03:35 Xenoth Quick, everyone either hide or get their weapons! It's time for a FLAMEWAAAR!
03:36 Chanku is because the latest minetest isn't packaged for wheezy/wheezy-backports at this tim
03:36 Chanku *time
03:36 Chanku Hell I mean if you want a few things that systemd offers use something like runit or Epoch
03:36 Pilcrow hmmmm: yeah, I never really understood why people get their undies in a bundle about forks. isn't that kind of what open source is for? if you want to do something the original dev doesn't like, you make a fork, rather than being limited. heck, if the codebase doesn't get too drastically different, you can maybe even share some code...  :)
03:37 Chanku like udev and eudev
03:37 hmmmm there are problems though
03:37 Chanku (udev being absorbed into the systemd monster and eudev being udev without the systemd monster part...)
03:37 Xenoth Fork issues? Why can't we all use sporks and get along? :(
03:37 Chanku :P
03:37 hmmmm you have a fragmented community, or no community at all
03:37 Chanku I'm already enjoying this community.
03:38 Chanku Eh...
03:38 Chanku So before I go
03:38 technomancy the main advantage of freeminer seems to be that it doesn't have such an awful name =)
03:38 Chanku anyone want to take a look at the somewhat buggy-mess that is my Final Project in my programming class :P
03:38 hmmmm :)
03:38 Zeno` yeah I'll have a look
03:38 hmmmm for what it's worth, some people attempted to change Minetest
03:38 hmmmm it didn't work out though
03:38 Chanku yeah
03:39 hmmmm a large enough portion of the community wanted to keep things the same
03:39 Chanku hmmmmmmm
03:39 Chanku :P
03:39 Xenoth Chanku: Same.
03:39 Chanku Anywho I'm going to go to bed. Have to get up at 6 AM Tomorrow to go to school.... :/
03:40 hmmmm bye
03:40 Chanku (It's like 10:39 PM here...)
03:40 Chanku Bye
03:40 Xenoth Night.
03:40 Pilcrow goodnight Chanku
03:40 Chanku I'm not really looking forward to tomorrow
03:40 Chanku Finals
03:40 Xenoth Eh.
03:40 Chanku and again the final project debugging (Written in VB.Net with the 2.0 version of the .NET framework....)
03:41 Pilcrow huh. when did you actually get here, Xenoth? I never saw you sign in. or were you just perpetually signed in, like hmmmm and VanessaE?  ;)
03:41 Xenoth Pilcrow: I've been here for ~13 hours. I leave my client idling on my laptop, which is on most of the day. :)
03:42 Pilcrow Xenoth: ah, alright. just curious.
03:43 * Xenoth suspects alterior motives.
03:43 * Pilcrow sits on Pilcrow's head
03:43 * Pilcrow is now donut-shaped

03:54 Pilcrow_ ah. cool. finally got my KVirc client working.
03:55 Xenoth Hello, not-Pilcrow's-twin

03:57 Xenoth Heh.
03:57 Xenoth Alright, goodnight everyone
03:57 Pilcrow_ sleep well, Xenoth
04:11 * Pilcrow pokes the Zeno` to see if it moves
04:11 * Zeno` grumbles
04:12 Pilcrow heh. so what do you think about the whole 'ignore' thing?
04:12 Zeno` I'm not ignoring anyone!
04:13 Pilcrow no, I mean sand falling through ignore nodes
04:13 Zeno` oh well, it probably shouldn't
04:13 Zeno` well
04:13 Zeno` hmm
04:16 Pilcrow Zeno`: the only problem is, changing it to walkable would cause problems too. as LeMagnesium pointed out in the issue I linked you to, changing it would mean sand nodes and the like won't fall after a chunk under it is loaded, unless an update is manually triggered...
04:17 Zeno` correct. which is why I said "hmm"
04:18 Zeno` I dunno. I'll have to look at the code
04:19 Pilcrow maybe the code that stops players could also stop sand? but then, the falling nodes would still have to be changed lua-side, I think, so that they wouldn't constantly _try_ to fall every time an update is triggered...

05:08 Pilcrow Zeno`: still having problems?  :\
05:08 Zeno` yeah
05:08 Zeno` I'll have to ring them up I guess
05:08 Guest61072 joined #minetest
05:09 Zeno` well I'll leave it until tomorrow since it mainly seems to be restricted to DNS
05:09 Pilcrow that sucks. did you try resetting your router? sometimes that'll do it...
05:09 Zeno` they're doing 3g/4g scheduled maintenance in my postcode (zipcode) today so maybe it's related
05:09 Zeno` even though I'm ADSL
05:09 Pilcrow ah. perhaps...
05:10 Zeno` I'll wait till they close the maintenance issue and if it persists call them then
05:10 Pilcrow Zeno`: what speed does your connection run normally?
05:10 Zeno` s/till/until
05:10 VanessaE 20 kbits...per hour. :)
05:11 Zeno` the speed is normal once DNS resolves
05:11 Pilcrow lol VanessaE
05:11 Zeno` router says 6490 kbps / 886 kbps
05:11 Zeno` which I think is normal
05:11 Zeno` err modem not router
05:13 Zeno` Line Attenuation 29.0 db 15.4 db
05:13 Zeno` is that good?
05:13 Zeno` Noise Margin 12.3 db 14.6 db
05:13 Zeno` sounds impressive
05:13 Pilcrow Zeno`: no idea, sorry
05:13 Zeno` me either
05:14 Pilcrow speedtest.net says I'm runnin at about 23 Mbps down, 4 up right now
05:14 * Zeno` tries speedtest
05:15 Zeno` can't connect
05:15 Zeno` lol
05:15 Zeno` still looking up DNS
05:15 Pilcrow hmm
05:15 Zeno` ah there it is
05:15 VanessaE time to plug in an alternate DNS
05:15 VanessaE 8.8.8.8 is your friend :)
05:15 Zeno` I don't even know what I'm currently using
05:16 VanessaE probably just whatever your ISP specified in the DHCP handshake
05:16 Zeno` yew... I didn't wash my hands after I shook their hands
05:16 VanessaE lol
05:16 * Zeno` wonders how he can change it
05:17 * Pilcrow knows next to nothing about networking
05:17 * Zeno` presses some random buttons
05:18 Zeno` Router Upgrade!
05:18 Zeno` maybe it will install ipv6 for me!
05:19 * Pilcrow tries to ssh into Zeno`'s public IP... lol, or not.
05:19 Zeno` you can try if you like
05:21 Zeno` you can also try to ssh to my server
05:21 Zeno` (most of china does anyway.... what's one more)
05:22 Pilcrow hmm, I've never had to reset this router. our old one was horrible, but we went overboard with our current one and bought a nice $80 dualband n router...
05:23 Zeno` my laptop is in DMZ!
05:23 Pilcrow DMZ!? why would you do that??
05:24 Zeno` it's called "cbf doing proper port forwarding I'll do it this way"
05:25 dprc joined #minetest
05:25 Pilcrow lol that is so bad... I'm not even sure how you'd protect a DMZ'd computer...
05:25 Zeno` rely on iptables
05:26 Zeno` i.e. DROP everything and whitelist IPs heh
05:27 Zeno` I call it "laziness that is not laziness"
05:27 Zeno` because it's harder than port forwarding lmao
05:27 Pilcrow lol
05:28 Pilcrow what's the point of it then?  :P
05:36 Zeno` there is none
05:36 Zeno` :D
05:36 VanessaE bbl
05:36 * Zeno` waves to VanessaE
05:37 Pilcrow bye VanessaE
05:41 dprc dmz is the hostile network subject to attack; stuff goes out there to protect and segment clients/services hosted within the lan
05:41 dprc traffic originating from dmz can be treated with same fascist filtering as all other external traffic
05:43 Zeno` correct
05:43 Pilcrow no idea what you mean, dprc. I'm not much of a networking guy. I just know dmz is dangerous.
05:43 Zeno` which is why I drop all packets and whitelist those I know
05:44 dprc yes; it is the danger zone :)
05:46 dprc it is basically for machines you control but can not trust - like web servers etc.
05:47 dprc traffic coming from dmz should be treated like it came from the internets' so you do all the same crazy filtering on that for internal clients

16:29 * VanessaE checks
16:30 VanessaE works for me.
16:32 daswort Does not work. Even if i connect as a client to LibertyLands (stable version) i can't toggle it. But i can see smoke other players have toggled. So i guess it is a client problem. VanessaE
16:33 VanessaE must be
16:33 VanessaE I just now tested it by setting a fire with flint+steel and then right-clicking on the fire with an empty hand
16:33 daswort VanessaE, is the immediate removel with left in non-creative wanted? On libertylands it takes some time to remove.
16:34 VanessaE the one on libertylands must be a different fork of fake_fire
16:34 VanessaE for me, it's instant removal and yeah, that's the way it's supposed to be
16:34 VanessaE it could be that you're reaching some number-of-particles limit in your client
16:36 daswort I think the default behaviour should be similar to Liberty Lands, so the user does not remove it accidentally.
16:37 VanessaE I'll consider changing it.
16:38 daswort can't be the particle limit, as i tested it in a empty test world
16:39 daswort is there a way to see what the mod is doing? VanessaE
16:39 * VanessaE shrugs  idk :)
16:39 VanessaE well, you could insert a bunch of print() statements into the code
16:39 VanessaE that's what I do when I need such a thing
16:39 VanessaE but as for some kind of "trace" feature, not that I know of
16:43 daswort Started with --verbose and when i click the fire i get the message: "INFO[main]: Ground right-clicked"
16:43 VanessaE odd

17:31 YvesLevier daswort: thx :)
17:31 Petrus2 joined #minetest
17:34 daswort YvesLevier, but version 0.5 will break compatibility. Then the question is above or below 0.5 for multiplay. But 0.5 will take some time, and you can install 2 versions so i won't be a big problem.

17:36 CWz http://pastebin.com/gJWkYDii I am complete clueless to why this results in crash.

17:54 ElectronLibre Oh no, wait.
17:54 ElectronLibre I think I found it.
17:54 ElectronLibre args[1]:get_player_name()
17:54 ElectronLibre You're doing this : minetest.get_player_by_name(args[1]:get_player_name()) knowing that args[1] is a string.
17:54 ElectronLibre Remove the :get_player_name()

18:02 ElectronLibre There might be multiple errors.
18:02 ElectronLibre I just solved this one.
18:03 ElectronLibre Krock is right, most commands use " " as a separator.
18:03 ElectronLibre Could you paste again some crash logs please ?

19:19 est31 niebieski, from the ppa?
19:19 niebieski Yes.
19:20 Calinou build it yourself
19:20 hoodedice joined #minetest
19:20 Calinou and consider upgrading to 14.04
19:20 niebieski Long time ago the build was failed for Percise but now it seems built.
19:20 est31 yes I enabled it again
19:20 est31 but I didnt test whether it installs
19:21 niebieski Why I would consider upgrading ?
19:21 hoodedice got a xubuntu on mac mini (late 2006) =D
19:21 est31 so what exactly is your issue?
19:21 Jordach mfw hoodedice is csuohio
19:21 hoodedice niebieski, precise is 12.04 >_> That is pretty old
19:22 niebieski My issue is that I add the PPA to Ubuntu Software Center and it fetches minetestc55 which is outdated.
19:22 Calinou <niebieski> Why I would consider upgrading ?
19:22 hoodedice I think we got another ppa
19:22 Calinou because support of 12.04 ends sooner than the 14.04
19:22 Calinou and 12.04 has 3 years old software
19:22 Calinou there's nothing to lose, 14.04 is also LTS
19:22 hoodedice that one was indeed deprecated
19:23 est31 niebieski, minetestc55 is outdated, yes
19:23 hoodedice this is the new ppa https://code.launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/+archive/ubuntu/stable
19:23 niebieski I just installed Precise because of lack of memory anyway. :D
19:23 est31 yes
19:25 hoodedice go for a lighter variant, like xubuntu or lubuntu
19:25 Jordach >lack of memory

21:43 Kenney the sheet gives a great overview
21:44 Halamix2 From Excel you can quickly make CSV and then do what do you want (porgramming/databases/etc.)
21:44 Kenney and serves as a guideline to what nodes have to be created in the first place

23:24 wilkgr Well, actually, I have removed a couple of mods (mesecon, mobs-plus) but that shouldn´t make any difference, right? The mods get downloaded from the server anywy, afaik
