02:41 jordan4ibanez This fire mod is coming along nicely, I think people are going to love it once it's stable, I'll post a video shortly of what it does to items
02:41 Pilcrow182 has there been an official decision yet as to whether the next minetest release will be 0.4.13 or 0.5?
02:43 est31 ~topic #minetest-dev
02:43 ShadowBot est31: Minetest core development and maintenance. 0.4.13 release scheduled for August 10 2015. Chit-chat goes to #minetest. Consider this instead of /msg celeron55. http://irc.minetest.ru/minetest-dev/ http://dev.minetest.net/
02:45 Pilcrow182 ah, thanks est31
02:53 frecel_ joined #minetest
02:58 Pilcrow182 a related question, is there a 0.4.13 milestones/goals page? I know there's one for 5.0, I just wanted to know if there was anything 'planned but not finnished yet' for 0.4.13 (besides the minimap RBA has been working on)...
03:00 phantombeta joined #minetest
03:04 est31 no
03:04 est31 any things you might want?
03:07 Pilcrow182 nah, I wasn't thinking of anything specific, just curious. most of what I could suggest would be tons of work for not much gain anyway...
03:14 Pilcrow182 I do think formspecs need a redesign, and it would also be very nice to have a way to detect keypresses by keycode so that mods could map functions to new buttons and we wouldn't have to use sneak, jump, etc. for everything... but I think those requests are both beyond the scope of 0.4.13...
03:15 est31 custom keypresses need clientside scripting
03:15 est31 also, its bad to have keypresses
03:15 est31 because imagine android
03:15 est31 or if we ever wanted to port to gaming consoles
03:15 est31 they all have no keyboard
03:15 Pilcrow182 yeah, that's what I thought
03:17 Pilcrow182 but most drivers still register gaming controllers, etc. with numbered 'keycodes'
03:18 Pilcrow182 I get what you're saying though.
03:18 est31 thats true
03:18 est31 but when the mod sais "press the J key"
03:18 est31 and your controller doesnt have a "j" key
03:18 est31 then its bad
03:19 Pilcrow182 yup. that's why I said I get it. we don't want mods to be unuseable just because there's no keyboard...
03:19 est31 part of the responsibility of the minetest engine is I think to generate some kind of "convergence" between mods
03:20 est31 if you have a predefined list of keys, you can replace them with the gamepad's keys or reassign them as you like
03:20 est31 of course, some people want to make terminals
03:20 Pilcrow182 lol true
03:21 jordan4ibanez Is this a known problem? https://www.reddit.com/r/Minetest/comments/367sv7/problems_with_keyboard_control_on_windows/
03:23 jordan4ibanez Also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWQmsqm8Ung&feature=youtu.be
03:26 Pilcrow182 oh, talking about controls brings an earlier thought back to my mind, though! I know there's been some work done toward key configuration/remapping features, but I think would be good to also be able to map mouse movement to a pair of axes, so a gamepad joystick can be used for camera control... (obviously by 'axes' I mean the plural of axis)
03:31 Pilcrow182 ^ the above would be useful even if minetest never gets ported to consoles; many people like to plug 360 controllers into their computers for gaming, and it would also make minetest playable on the nVidia Shield Portable without touching the screen
03:31 blaise joined #minetest
03:32 Pilcrow182 est31, do you know if any more work is going into the key configuration features, or is that pretty much 'done' for now?
03:33 est31 its "not done"
03:35 Pilcrow182 ah, good to know. I know the config option has already been around for a while, but it didn't seem like people were doing anything more with it.

05:05 Pilcrow182 hi VanessaE
05:05 VanessaE hi
05:05 Pilcrow182 how are you tonight?  :)
05:05 VanessaE meh.
05:05 VanessaE hating my computer right now
05:06 Pilcrow182 something wrong with it?
05:06 VanessaE yeah, the programmers who wrote various operating system components (such as video drivers) are brain dead morons,.
05:08 Pilcrow182 ugh, driver issues... I'm lucky the free linux drivers for ati/amd radeon support my card with full 3d acceleration...
05:08 VanessaE I get full 3d accel with open source drivers too -- or as much so as I'd expect, which is about half the performance this card is capable of.
05:09 VanessaE problem is, fglrx proprietary, which should max it out, is barely half as fast as the open source driver.
05:10 Pilcrow182 wow. yeah, that's another thing; I've got a very old card, so it's well supported but wimpy in general. still works much better in Linux with free drivers than in windows with proprietary ones though...  :P
05:11 Pilcrow182 oh, VanessaE, I made a custom skin for use on your vanilla server. do you want me to send you the link in an irc query?
05:13 VanessaE yeah
05:13 VanessaE I'll install it in a bit

05:41 VanessaE one is minetest, and the other is minecraft :)
05:41 VanessaE they're two differnet programs entirely.
05:41 VanessaE there's as much similarity between them as there is between, say, firefox and chrome browsers
05:46 orb joined #minetest
06:12 Pilcrow182 I can't remember where I heard it, but I like this term: minetest resembles minecraft quite like an ant resembles a brick.

11:03 Taoki Strange. I have an item stack, on which I'm doing item:add_wear(10000) If I print the wear right after, I get the wear value I added. But the next frame, the item's wear reverts back to 0. Why?
11:03 Taoki This is an item in the player's inventory BTW. A wooden sword.
11:04 Taoki Why is wear being reset to 0 on it each frame? Also I'm not in creative mode, and damage is enabled.
11:08 Taoki Huh... if I dig leafs with the sword, wear increases. So it's only the add_wear function that's reverted, or not persisted
11:10 Taoki Ah, fixed... had to set the item to the new itemstack it seems

12:02 Taoki I have another question please: Will an itemstack automatically be deleted if its wear is > 65535? Even if it's not in a real inventory, but for example stored in a table?
12:02 Taoki And I do add_wear to it

15:40 rubenwardy Hi all!
15:40 rubenwardy MY EXAMS ARE OVER!!!
15:40 rubenwardy FUCK YEAH
15:40 TheWild joined #minetest
15:43 rubenwardy In over news, I'm busy trying the D
15:43 Calinou rubenwardy, 1 day of exams here left (Math)
15:43 rubenwardy programming langage, that is.
15:43 rubenwardy damn
15:43 rubenwardy *other
15:44 Calinou meh, D is nowhere to be found
15:44 Calinou I wouldn't learn languages with low traction
15:44 SopaXorzTaker joined #minetest
15:45 rubenwardy I basically want a language which is as fast as C++ which encourages proper memory management, minimises leaks, and has an easy std library
15:45 technomancy it's really a shame that the non-free standard library problems they had seemed to kill the momentum for D
15:45 rubenwardy really?
15:45 rubenwardy wat
15:46 technomancy if D had better luck promoting itself it might have gotten some of the market share from google go, which is comparatively pretty lackluster
15:46 technomancy rubenwardy: I think it's no longer the case, but a while ago there were two standard libraries for D, one with a good license, and one that was better technically
15:46 * TheWild looking for D
15:46 technomancy so a lot of people got turned off looking into D because it seemed fragmented
15:46 Calinou rubenwardy, how about Rust?
15:46 rubenwardy the D is waiting to be found
15:47 rubenwardy I'm going to look into rust too#
15:47 Calinou it's not as fast but it's great, and rather unified
15:47 Calinou it's actually slightly slower than Java on average
15:47 rubenwardy as fast as C++ or as fast as D?
15:47 technomancy rust has had a lot more thought go into its model, even if it hasn't had as much effort go into optimization yet
15:48 technomancy also D is pretty good for making PKD jokes about
15:48 technomancy if you've read A Scanner Darkly
15:49 Calinou it's not as fast as C++
15:52 rubenwardy Any recommendations for a fast 3D rendering engine? godot is too easy :D
15:52 Calinou I don't follow the "plain engine" scene much...
15:53 Calinou why not Urho3D, or just... Irrlicht? :p
15:53 rubenwardy I have been using Irrlicht, but apparently it's not very modern
15:59 fusion44 joined #minetest
16:02 * VanessaE peeks in

16:04 CWz I just saw an eye behind the door
16:06 VanessaE ha
16:07 blaise CWz: was it a big eye?
16:08 blaise what the heck were those massive monster head things that hovered about in doom? kinda looked like those landolier things that ate up the world of the past after the present was finished with it..
16:15 crazyR_ hmm can anyone think of a way to log realtime total time played for a player. ie count how long a player has been online in total since he/she first joined the server..
16:15 Cryterion-- joined #minetest
16:15 proller joined #minetest
16:16 rubenwardy shouldn't be two hard. Callbacks on register_on_joinplayer and register_on_leaveplayer
16:17 crazyR_ i thought of that but then sometimes a register_on_leaveplayer dont get called for example if the server crashed
16:20 rubenwardy That is a problem. I'd save an emergency file every few minutes which contains the current session play times of all connected players.
16:20 rubenwardy If when you start up there's an emergency file then the server crashed
16:21 crazyR_ whoison.lastseen[name]['timeonline'] = whoison.lastseen[name]['timeonline'] + ( os.time() - whoison.lastrun )  <-- taken from brandons whois mod should work actually.

19:30 asl97 you are closing the function too soon
19:31 Calinou register_craftitem shouldn't have any comma after it
19:31 Calinou (ie. don't put a comma on first line like that)
19:31 asl97 you need to put the item definition inside the function

19:36 tranquilliam I think I'm finally getting to grips with the syntax.
19:39 tranquilliam So, now for it to generate... I found the register_ore function, but does it have to be in a seperate file?

21:53 Taoki Hey. Is it possible to change the info shown while looking at an entity? The same thing as infotext for nodes, but for entities
21:53 Taoki I don't like it that when I look at a mob, I get a list of their armor groups instead of their name or something more relevant
22:07 Taoki Anyone?
