00:05 est31 "Mese actually means "msn messenger" in Finland and is used as a silly word (it sounds silly) in the ohjelmointiputka programming community. Additionally it is thought that the glasses of the emoticons 8) and 8D are "mese glasses".   "

14:22 SylvieLorxu I find it interesting people would consider this a joke, but would probably think this is serious if it said "human" instead of "porcupine"
14:22 harrison the "joke" or humor-meme can be seen as an expression of contempt for others
14:22 harrison others who do not originate memes

14:23 SylvieLorxu Okay, yes, go on

14:23 harrison "why are you hanging out with THESE guys? they are not even part of the punchline!"
14:24 harrison edward snowden asks "what punch line?

14:24 harrison the bartender continues

14:46 everamzah what is an ideal setting for num_emerge_threads?  if my cpu reads four cores, should i set it to 4?  does setting it to 0 make it unlimited?
14:47 nrzkt it depend of your backend
14:47 nrzkt i think using 2 threads is sufficient else you will have many locks between serverthread and the emergethread pool

15:27 Yellowberry How's it been?
15:27 Yellowberry I recently got the legal version of Minetest on Android.
15:27 Yellowberry The controls could use some work, but it's a cool concept
15:28 Zaitabai legal version of minetest?
15:31 DusXMT Zaitabai: Distributing modified (L)GPL'd software without source code is illegal, and there's people who do that with Minetest on Android
15:32 DusXMT But I don't think actually using such a thing is illegal, since it's the distributor violating the license, not the user
15:35 Megaf Oh dear, I have installed Hybrids dog Nether mod on my server and now I'm stuck in the Nether. How to I get back to the surface?
15:35 Darcidride joined #minetest
15:36 Zaitabai Wouldn't there be a portal, or a way to build one?
15:37 Megaf I think I have to build one
15:37 Megaf but I don't quite understand that]
15:37 Megaf I think I will be stuck there forecer then :P
15:39 Zaitabai How did you build the portal in the first place? maybe look on the forums and ask the mod creator?

16:50 JohnnyComeL8ly Hello, Robert_Zenz.
16:51 Robert_Zenz JohnnyComeL8ly, Hi.
16:52 JohnnyComeL8ly Has anyone ever found a Nyan cat in the "official" MT game, while exploring?
16:56 Teckla JohnnyComeL8ly: I think I did.  I saw a whole line of those rainbow colored blocks followed by a single cat block thingie.
16:57 Teckla (If I recall correctly)

16:59 Calinou JohnnyComeL8ly, only underground
16:59 Calinou by default
16:59 Calinou (for unknown reasons, probably so that they are even harder to find)
16:59 Calinou JohnnyComeL8ly, 04did you say color?
16:59 Teckla Or perhaps I don't know what you guys are talking about  :P
17:00 Calinou 08Microsoft Works 97
17:01 JohnnyComeL8ly That's the irony... MS doesn't work...(as in, it doesn't Excel). :-D
17:02 JohnnyComeL8ly Teckla: Yeah, that's what I was talking about....
17:03 Teckla JohnnyComeL8ly: OK, in this case, yep, I came across one
17:03 Teckla My daughter had to explain to me that the line of rainbow blocks was its flying trail or something.
17:03 Teckla (I dunno what a Nyan cat is.)
17:03 JohnnyComeL8ly Yay, point for Teckla!
17:03 JohnnyComeL8ly ;-)
17:03 Teckla My daughter loves Minetest
17:03 Teckla :)
17:04 meldrian joined #minetest
17:04 JohnnyComeL8ly Well, at least it doesn't cost you...
17:04 JohnnyComeL8ly like some other game....
17:04 Teckla We both have Minecraft too, heh.  Each has its pros and cons
17:05 JohnnyComeL8ly One being speed....
17:05 Calinou Minecraft is faster than Minetest
17:05 Calinou but Minecraft subjugates its users, whereas Minetest empowers them.
17:05 Teckla Ya?  Other than start up time, I haven't noticed a big performance difference between the two
17:05 Xenoth Calinou: I cannot run Minecraft on its lowest settings on my laptop. Minetest runs at a good 25FPS.
17:05 Calinou Xenoth, on any decently fast PC, Minecraft 1.8/1.9 will largely beat Minetest
17:05 Calinou they optimized the client a lot
17:06 Calinou and Minetest got slower too... the server part is rather bloated now
17:06 Xenoth Ah, I only ever played older MC.
17:06 JohnnyComeL8ly I guess I'm in the same boat....
17:07 JohnnyComeL8ly Well, I'd rather be 3empowered!
17:07 Teckla Before mods, Minecraft vanilla is probably more interesting than Minetest.  (At least, that's what my daughter tells me)
17:07 troller joined #minetest
17:07 rubenwardy Teckla, Minetest is meant to be modded
17:07 JohnnyComeL8ly lol
17:08 rubenwardy whereas Minecraft isn't
17:08 Teckla Yep, I have no problem with that, just reporting what my daughter tells me  :)
17:08 rubenwardy ie: we want you to play with mods
17:08 rubenwardy whereas MC is happy for you to play without mods
17:08 JohnnyComeL8ly Most will just take a surface look and judge after that.
17:08 Calinou we try to make minetest_game as enjoyable as possible
17:08 rubenwardy I disagree with this philosophy however
17:08 Calinou but people keep viewing it as bare Fedora
17:09 Calinou (it's often said that nobody uses Fedora as-is, and that everyone uses RPMFusion, no matter how bad it might be)
17:09 Calinou likewise, many Minetest mods are really of poor quality, but we can't stop people from using them :)
17:09 Calinou (specifically, I wish mods were more... modular)
17:09 Teckla If you want to capture the "it just works" / "kids" market, fleshing about vanilla Minetest with animals, villages, villagers, Mesecons, etc. would go quite a long way.
17:09 Calinou I agree about mobs, but it's been years we want a mobs mod that doesn't suck
17:10 Teckla s/fleshing about/fleshing out/
17:10 Calinou we need someone to make an entirely new mob API, not using simple_mobs
17:10 Teckla Calinou: Ah, just waiting for the right mobs mod to come along, eh?
17:10 Calinou with a small set of mobs that has consistent looks, and good balance
17:10 Calinou yes mostly
17:10 Teckla Ah.
17:10 Calinou if the mod is good, it has high chances of being merged to minetest_game really
17:10 nrzkt joined #minetest
17:10 Calinou simple_mobs isn't suitable, it has too many bugs
17:10 JohnnyComeL8ly Ooh....
17:10 Calinou like mobs not jumping when they should, or them sticking on ceilings
17:11 Calinou (happens frequently with Carbone Mobs, my fork, and no idea how to fix it)
17:11 ensonic joined #minetest
17:11 JohnnyComeL8ly Ow...
17:11 Teckla My daughter has been pestering me to write some Minetest mods.  (I'm a Java software developer by day...  please don't hate me)
17:11 Teckla I guess I'd need to learn Lua
17:11 troller write java vm on lua
17:11 JohnnyComeL8ly Java just isn't C/C++ but it isn't evil.... :-P
17:12 Teckla troller: haha
17:12 Teckla Before Java, I programmed C for ... many decades  :)
17:12 Robert_Zenz Teckla, as also a Java developer, I can tell you, it is easy. But you have to give up your neat little objects for the most part.
17:13 rubenwardy http://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/
17:13 Teckla Robert_Zenz: It looks like Lua's tables let you construct ad hoc objects pretty easily
17:13 JohnnyComeL8ly That is way too impractical... a script language making a vm for another script language.
17:13 rubenwardy is obviously the best guide
17:13 Teckla rubenwardy: Thank you, I'll check that out
17:14 Robert_Zenz Teckla, yeah, kinda. it is not exactly the same, but quite close.
17:15 * Teckla was pretty amazed when he discovered Minetest and how good it is
17:16 Robert_Zenz Teckla, if you want some code to read, you could look into my utils mod, I tried my best to keep it easily readable: https://github.com/RobertZenz/minetest-australopithecus-utils
17:16 Teckla VanessaE may in fact be my daughter's first non-family role model  :)
17:16 Teckla Robert_Zenz: Thanks!
17:16 Zaitabai Finally, some resources. Thanks guys.
17:24 CWz VanessaE is role model
17:24 JohnnyComeL8ly Yeah.
17:25 JohnnyComeL8ly rubenwardy: The docs look very helpful... I downloaded them to my webserver for reference. (Thanks for the mentioning.)
17:26 Teckla Currently my daughter is having a blast with the Mesecons mod I installed yesterday
17:26 Teckla She lured me into a Mesecons-powered trap
17:26 Teckla And she built an elaborate house using VanessaE's home decor mod
17:27 JohnnyComeL8ly Oh, did you just use /home ?
17:27 Teckla You Minetest devs and modders really do rock.  :)

20:11 j0el I was not sure where to put the tutorial_world so I created a world in the game and found it in /Users/jberman/Library/Application Support/minetest/worlds and put it there.  Seems to work fine, but was wondering if I am making too hard or if the instructions need to be updated.  Anyway, thanks for what looks to be an amazing game.

20:41 j0el Yes, it worked fine.  and .minetest is hidden, but not that hidden.  Also people may not know that they have to enable the right click on OSX in preferences.
