04:26 waressearcher2 is there a mod that make you sort of "hover" ?
04:27 waressearcher2 I mean same as "autojump" but instead of jumping the movement is smooth, so if its a block in front of you and you move forward it slowly moves you up and then as you go from the block down it slowly moves you down so you don't feel any block under its like the surface actualy smooth
04:28 comradmax sounds like the kind of item you'd craft from mining a cloud
04:29 waressearcher2 remember that hoverboard from back to the future if you were hovering over the little cobbles you don't feel them at all
04:30 waressearcher2 wouldn't it be more relaxing to walk that way instead of constantly jumping ?
04:30 DMackey- joined #minetest
04:30 waressearcher2 comradmax: is there such thing as "mining a cloud" ?
04:36 comradmax there ought to be

08:46 wilkgr I'm wondering: Is there a way to teleport the player relative to their current location?
08:48 wilkgr For example, if I'm building a lift with mesecon & worldedit, can I just teleport the player up by 1 block each time?
08:49 basxto joined #minetest
08:50 everamzah joined #minetest
08:51 Calinou in Lua? fully possible
08:51 Calinou in command blocks? probably not
08:51 wilkgr Ok.
08:51 wilkgr Thanks Calinou
08:52 wilkgr (I know in MC there is "/tp ~ ~ ~5" to teleport 5 blocks up)
08:52 wilkgr Thanks again
08:52 wilkgr I gtg now
08:52 wilkgr as in away checked on.
08:59 Puka_ joined #minetest

09:15 wilkgr Back, Krock, I'm not sure, but you get the general idea.
09:15 wilkgr BTW, using a different build still gives the MeshUpdateThread error.
09:16 * Krock hides
09:16 * wilkgr chases Krock
09:17 * wilkgr bonks Krock on the head.
09:20 * Krock learnt that you can use the Mandelbrot set to calculate PI
09:20 wilkgr *ahem*
09:20 * wilkgr coughs pointedly
09:21 * Krock is still hidden
09:21 * wilkgr has found Krock
09:21 * Krock sets flag display: none;
09:21 wilkgr This isn't a play, y'know, but anyway - I have default spawnpoint set, and /hp Krock 0 works well.
09:22 wilkgr And developer view still shows your hitbox
09:22 * Krock knows that the hitbox is hidden too
09:22 wilkgr *sigh*
09:23 wilkgr I can still teleport to you
09:23 * Krock wonders how wilkgr wants to touch him without finding a hitbox
09:24 wilkgr I'll install the /whereis mod.
09:24 wilkgr Or set a static spawnpoint, then set your hp to 0.
09:24 wilkgr Blinky plant with a command block to set your hp to 0 again and over again.
09:25 * Krock deletes the on-die function
09:25 wilkgr Geez, I'm running this server!
09:25 wilkgr lol
09:30 Krock Lol the browser M$ edge is great quality.
09:30 wilkgr Never even tried it.
09:30 Krock A youtuber used Win 10 to demonsterate a self-virus and failed at downloading the exe from that browser
09:30 wilkgr Really?
09:30 Krock Yeah...
09:30 wilkgr Can I have the link?
09:30 Krock Well, it's german. https://youtu.be/_GXpSgh-clY?t=5m35s
09:31 wilkgr No worries, I'm German
09:31 Krock oh
09:31 wilkgr Just living in Down Under :D
09:34 wilkgr Anyway, what about my issue?
09:35 Krock There are no new ideas in my head that could help you
09:35 wilkgr :-/
09:35 wilkgr I'm going back to 0.4.12 then...
09:36 arsdragonfly joined #minetest
09:37 wilkgr Just wondering, what does "MSVC" mean?
09:37 Krock M$ Visual C
09:38 Krock a compiler like MinGW
09:38 wilkgr Ah. I was using your build now.

14:09 comradmax question about minetest_game, but really a more genereal one... Let's say i'd like to change give_initial_stuff, here is how i've done it: git clone minetest, then submodule add minetest_game under games/ (making changes to give_initial_stuff), then compile minetest, install minetest.  is there a way to make changes to minetest_game, and NOT have to rebuild the whole minetest like that?
14:11 Viper168 joined #minetest
14:11 Krock Minetest core/engine does not depend on minetest_game
14:11 Krock so do your changes without rebuilding
14:12 comradmax but how will i get that into my system minetest?  just make a .minetest/games and git clone minetest_game inot that, make changes there, and dont build anything?
14:13 Krock bingo
14:16 * comradmax wonders why one follows github readme at all...
14:24 Fixer any news on #3166 ?
14:25 STHGOM joined #minetest
14:39 * JohnnyComeL8ly is somewhat agreeing with comradmax....
14:45 JohnnyComeL8ly I decided that I would just do a local install (run-in-place is another way to put it).
14:46 misprint joined #minetest
14:46 JohnnyComeL8ly That way I could use the same MT build for multiple distros on the same PC.
14:46 ElectronLibre joined #minetest
14:58 ensonic_ hej, I wonder if there is a tools/setup for running minetest --server so that it would run the server and show a map of the world like minetestmapper creates (showing where the players are)
15:00 ElectronLibre As far as I know, there is no way to do that. You can try to use an instant mapper but you would have to run it in a browser.
15:00 Sockstah joined #minetest
15:00 ElectronLibre And the instant mapper is apprently a pain to install. If you're motivated enough you should manage to do it though.
15:00 ensonic_ thats be cool too, will look for the instant mapper
15:01 ElectronLibre MTSatelite I think it's called.
15:01 ElectronLibre Something like that.
15:03 Tux[Qyou] joined #minetest
15:06 ensonic_ ElectronLibre, thanks found it
15:06 Out`Of`Control joined #minetest
15:12 freeemint_ joined #minetest
15:14 ensonic_ complicated indeed, I wonder if it would have been easier to do this as a invisible player instead
15:17 comradmax run a script to generate the map using minetestmapper
15:18 comradmax just pick how often you can refresh that
15:19 ElectronLibre That's basically what MTSatelite does. Then it displays it dynamically on a webpage.
15:19 ElectronLibre But running a mapper regulary can slow down the server it the map is too big.
15:19 comradmax yea
15:19 ElectronLibre And running the mapper over the same database file as the one used by the server is dangerous too.
15:20 comradmax is redis safer?
15:20 ElectronLibre I don't really know.
15:20 unclemarc joined #minetest
15:21 ElectronLibre But I don't think two programs reading and/or writing over the same file is safe in any case.
15:21 JohnnyComeL8ly But isn't only one of them gonna do the writing?
15:22 comradmax that's what databases solve, they can do that all day
15:22 JohnnyComeL8ly (MT Server, that is...)
15:22 comradmax using mapper on the sqlite3 file did crash sometimes tho
15:23 JohnnyComeL8ly In either case, it wouldn't hurt to make backups of the world every hour.
15:23 ElectronLibre left #minetest
15:23 comradmax yea, i'm bziping the redis db every day
15:24 comradmax you only need like 5-10 backups, and then who cares
15:29 JohnnyComeL8ly How does one select the backend for the DB?
15:29 JohnnyComeL8ly I was going to use LevelDB.
15:30 Calinou comradmax, >2015 >bzip
15:30 comradmax you need to get or make a build that supports that DB, then use --migrate command with --server
15:31 comradmax Calinou, you only bziped once in all of 2015?
15:31 Calinou no, really
15:31 Calinou use gzip if you're poor, xz if you're rich
15:32 JohnnyComeL8ly I used this cmd for building it:  cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=TRUE -DENABLE_LUAJIT=TRUE -DLUA_INCLUDE_DIR=/home/john/.apps/LuaJIT-2.0.4/src/ -DLUA_LIBRARY=/home/john/.apps/LuaJIT-2.0.4/src/libluajit.a -DENABLE_LEVELDB=TRUE -DLEVELDB_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/leveldb -DENABLE_GETTEXT=TRUE -DGETTEXT_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/
15:32 JohnnyComeL8ly Calinou, I don't get it....
15:32 comradmax yea, i forgot about xz, is that the same as 7z?
15:32 Calinou yes, same compression algorithm, but less features (to comply with UNIX philosophy)
15:33 Calinou eg. you can't directly compress directories like you can with .zip
15:33 Shackra joined #minetest
15:33 comradmax that's ok
15:33 comradmax JohnnyComeL8ly, try to make it work without explicitly giving include for leveldb
15:34 JohnnyComeL8ly Ok.
15:34 Calinou why are you building all your libraries from source?
15:34 comradmax for redis the trick was make install redis, and then just use enable_redis alone
15:34 JohnnyComeL8ly Idk that I was building all my libs from source....
15:35 JohnnyComeL8ly I was only doing LuaJit and LevelDB.
15:35 comradmax JohnnyComeL8ly, how about apt-get install levelbd-dev or someting like that?  is that what you did?
15:35 JohnnyComeL8ly I think that's what I did.
15:35 JohnnyComeL8ly I'm gonna look in the bash history.
15:35 comradmax you should not have to tell it the include dir, just say enable_leveldb=true
15:35 Calinou both LuaJIT and LevelDB are present in Debian 8, Ubuntu 14.04, Fedora 22
15:36 JohnnyComeL8ly I installed libleveldb1 and libleveldb-dev
15:37 alt27611 joined #minetest
15:37 JohnnyComeL8ly So, this is right? cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=TRUE -DENABLE_LUAJIT=TRUE -DENABLE_LEVELDB=TRUE
15:37 comradmax right, idk if you need the dot last tho
15:38 JohnnyComeL8ly What "dot"?
15:38 comradmax the one dot in that line
15:38 Calinou you don't, comradmax
15:38 comradmax k
15:38 JohnnyComeL8ly You mean the one after the cmake cmd, but before the options?
15:38 comradmax yes
15:39 JohnnyComeL8ly I was just following the instructions from the Readme... oh well, now I'm liberated!
15:40 JohnnyComeL8ly LuaJIT not found, using bundled Lua
15:40 JohnnyComeL8ly That's one of the errors....
15:41 Xack \o
15:41 comradmax make sure that you the the -dev installed.  and also delete the whole minetest dir, git clone from scratch, and try again
15:42 comradmax doing make clean, and deleting build/ did not work for me
15:42 Xack or git clean -fdx
15:43 FR^2 left #minetest
15:43 JohnnyComeL8ly What if I already have the source... but I didn't get it from the repo's...?
15:43 Xack i thought cmake required the use of "." to specify where the initial CMakeLists.txt is
15:43 Xack or is this a new version
15:43 comradmax yea, delete that file too
15:44 JohnnyComeL8ly Delete, CMakeLists.txt?
15:44 comradmax the readme says to run cmake . from root dir, usually it's mkdir build, cd build, cmake ../
15:44 comradmax yes, delete that, then rerun the cmake command
15:45 comradmax or try what Xack just said with that git magic
15:45 JohnnyComeL8ly I did that.
15:45 comradmax what is that command supposed to do?
15:45 Xack Calinou: > first game of lichess > with anonymous > quits after 1 move
15:45 Xack :(
15:45 JohnnyComeL8ly Is it not advisable to use version 2.0.4 which I downloaded?
15:46 JohnnyComeL8ly Of LuaJit, I mean.
15:47 Xack so you downloaded a tarball of luajit?
15:47 JohnnyComeL8ly Yes, let me get the link.
15:47 Xack i advice you run `ldconfig -v` after insalling luajit, the minetest build system might not be able to find it
15:47 Xack *advise
15:48 Xack obviously if you've already isntalled it just run it now
15:48 JohnnyComeL8ly http://luajit.org/download/LuaJIT-2.0.4.tar.gz
15:48 JohnnyComeL8ly No, I didn't install it system wide... I just built with the path to it in the options.
15:49 JohnnyComeL8ly it=MT
15:49 Calinou Xack, want to play against me? :p
15:49 Xack Calinou: sorry i've got to go now

15:51 JohnnyComeL8ly Is redis better than LevelDB?
15:53 freeemint_ JohnnyComeL8ly: There is no better only trade ofs.
15:54 JohnnyComeL8ly Oh, well, what is better for a few siblings?
15:54 JohnnyComeL8ly On an x64....
15:55 Calinou sqlite.
15:55 Calinou don't bother with LevelDB or worse, Redis.
15:55 Calinou Redis is for your next startup, not for a game server. unless it is huge.
15:56 freeemint_ Redis is in ram.
15:57 freeemint_ I would prefer LevelDB as well
15:57 Calinou LevelDB feels slower for me, when used in singleplayer
15:58 Calinou your mileage may vary, but I think it's overrated
15:58 freeemint_ Good for batching thought.
15:58 JohnnyComeL8ly Ok.
15:58 freeemint_ *though
15:58 JohnnyComeL8ly So, no need to install leveldb and all that... thanks for the answer!
15:59 JohnnyComeL8ly lol
15:59 JohnnyComeL8ly thought.bat contains nothing!
15:59 Calinou my hunger games server is sqlite, has up to 19 players
15:59 JohnnyComeL8ly I'll have to try it out....
15:59 CWz i agree with Calinou
16:01 freeemint_ if one has his mysql on a ramdisk it should run very good.
16:02 JohnnyComeL8ly This is getting over my head... ;-)
16:02 H-H-H afaik minetest doesnt have a mysql db backend
16:03 JohnnyComeL8ly But, it wouldn't be such a bad idea... if you had a server that had SQL dbs for several "Worlds" then you could get a really fast (low latency connection) and smoke all the other servers.
16:04 Calinou there was a PostgreSQL back-end
16:04 JohnnyComeL8ly And, you would only have to pay for one line, which could be split up by different special interest groups.
16:05 JohnnyComeL8ly Or, one could use redis....
16:06 Xenoth joined #minetest
16:12 JohnnyComeL8ly Idk... but I do know that I'm frustrated by the fact that companies boast of minor improvements to theirs network as if they just landed on the moon.
16:13 JohnnyComeL8ly And, in the case of VZW you have to pay for incoming connections not to be blocked.
16:13 JohnnyComeL8ly To me, that defeats a lot of what the internet if for!

16:21 JohnnyComeL8ly So, Calinou dev'd the game?
16:21 Calinou heh
16:21 Calinou no
16:22 Calinou I forgot I even uploaded an ArmagetronAD screenshot
16:23 JohnnyComeL8ly Oh, is the game worth playing?

16:24 Calinou I'm not sure if the game logic of Smokin' Guns is libre
16:24 Calinou moreover, it's pretty ugly

16:26 Calinou that were not made for platform-compatibility or to fix bugs. This would be cheating. Thank you
16:26 Calinou for supporting fair play gaming."
16:26 Calinou I should send them a pull request so that they remove it...
16:26 Calinou heck, that file was last modified 8 years ago
16:27 JohnnyComeL8ly So, is it wrong to have rules about swearing and such on a server?  I see it as the same type of thing.
16:27 Calinou rules are not license clauses
16:27 Calinou I don't want Minetest to get a license clause that would forbid cheating and swearing
16:27 Calinou it'd be just wrong
16:28 Calinou a license clause means you can be sued for it
16:28 JohnnyComeL8ly I understand, but I didn't know that was part of the license clause...
16:28 Calinou it's written in a way that it is part of the license
16:28 Calinou "must not"
16:29 Calinou also they have silly restrictions on maps that can be used on servers, and such
16:29 Calinou and are likely to ban your server if it runs modified source code
16:29 JohnnyComeL8ly Really...?
16:30 Calinou yep
16:30 arsdragonfly Calinou : I kinda like WorldOfTanks when it comes to cheating & such,
16:30 JohnnyComeL8ly Well, I'm an advocate of Libre, I just see that "The cheat protection described in README_CUBEENGINE.txt is not used in AssaultCube." doesn't cancel that ideal.
16:30 Calinou yeah, they don't use the "official binary" system Cube used
16:30 TheWild joined #minetest
16:30 Calinou you had to use proprietary software to play multiplayer back then :P
16:31 JohnnyComeL8ly I'm thinking that to make everybody more happy, they should use the phrase, "SHOULD NOT"
16:31 arsdragonfly cuz most of the things are put on the server, plus an aimbot doesn't help at all
16:31 arsdragonfly you're still pwned
16:32 arsdragonfly If someone could design a game that makes cheating virtually impossible, then that's the way to go
16:34 JohnnyComeL8ly Yeah, and open source that....
16:34 JohnnyComeL8ly You'd be a hero!
16:36 TheWild Calinou: the "You MUST NOT connect to servers..." is rather to keep a good manner, not an enforcement (how they could not am I cheating or not). But I agree, license is not a good place for this clause.
16:37 Calinou cheating tends to fade away from games these days
16:37 Calinou except board games like chess maybe
16:37 Calinou the right way to prevent cheating is optional server-side checks
16:37 Calinou (optional, in case you are low on CPU)
16:38 JohnnyComeL8ly The clause in question, was under "Cheat Protection", not "License".
16:38 JohnnyComeL8ly I agree, about the checks... definitely.
16:39 JohnnyComeL8ly You see, I'm not advocating a closed system... like some ppl I know, but I have had experiences with ppl who cheat: it isn't very fun.
16:40 JohnnyComeL8ly I just desided to switch servers... XD
16:40 JohnnyComeL8ly *decided
16:41 Calinou I haven't seen a cheater in games I play in months
16:41 Calinou and most of the time, it's just a speedhacker
16:42 JohnnyComeL8ly I don't like the silly restrictions on maps myself... I host a "lan party" for AC everyonce in a while, and I'm frustrated that you can't just load a map in whatever mode you want to... that is the way the game is setup, and I'm sure if I knew how to remedy that code malady, I would.... ;-P
16:42 JohnnyComeL8ly Speedhacker?
16:42 JohnnyComeL8ly You mean, someone really fast, in-game?
16:43 Calinou ues
16:43 Calinou yes*
16:43 JohnnyComeL8ly Ok.
16:43 freeemint_ Calinou can you give me infromation about implementing databases, the interface and so on.
16:43 Calinou I don't know at all
16:43 Calinou I've never worked with databases outside of phpMyAdmin :)

16:59 hmmmm joined #minetest
17:00 TheWild about two weeks ago I learned something about a trick used in realtime 3D graphics in games (not sure whether is it named "environment map").
17:01 TheWild I was playing Cube 2 on a map "alithia", the reflections of the environment were seen on a floor but everything was working still very smoothly (more than 60 fps.)
17:01 TheWild Wow, how they made it? Everything looks beautiful and still does not hang my gfx.
17:01 TheWild But I started suspecting something as reflection looked the same whenever I was. One time I looked straight down and saw the hole in the ceiling on the reflection. Then I looked straight up and there was no hole. I realized I was living in a lie.
17:02 Calinou TheWild, reflections in Cube 2, apart of water, are fake
17:02 Calinou a cubemap (or several of them) is generated at map load, and is never changed
17:02 Calinou it's also quite low-resolution by default (128×128)
17:02 TheWild s/whenever/wherever
17:02 Calinou TheWild, consider using PBR for realistic reflections
17:02 Calinou here is an example that runs in your browser: http://blog.playcanvas.com/physically-based-rendering-comes-to-webgl/
17:03 TheWild Calinou, though it is really impressive how they can trick your vision
17:04 Calinou I consider cubemap reflections to be pretty fake :P
17:04 Calinou they move with you

17:16 Fixer Calinou: is it improved much since Nexuiz? I got Nexuiz with lots of maps, I like it
17:17 Calinou yes, lots of engine and game changes.
17:17 Fixer in better direction, I hope
17:17 Fixer can I use nexuiz maps with it?

18:24 OldCoder Clanmaster, you tried both APK and Freeminer?
18:25 OldCoder Clanmaster, I can only talk ATM if people can focus
18:25 Clanmaster i tried freeminer (beta)
18:25 OldCoder Clanmaster, and?
18:25 OldCoder No server list?
18:26 OldCoder Or no connect?
18:26 Clanmaster i found 3 of your servers and they didn't work
18:26 OldCoder No
18:26 OldCoder Freeminer is for Freeminer worlds
18:26 OldCoder Did you connect to a Freeminer world?
18:26 Clanmaster it keeps on saying connection timed out
18:26 OldCoder Did you connect to a Freeminer world?
18:27 Clanmaster how do i do that
18:27 OldCoder You go to a world that is listed in the Freeminer server list
18:27 OldCoder Did you do that?
18:27 OldCoder Not the Minetest list but the Freeminer list
18:28 Clanmaster wait i will try

18:34 Clanmaster i am finding the app freeminer (beta)  and it has few servers
18:34 OldCoder Right
18:34 OldCoder Just 3 or so
18:34 OldCoder Does it work or not?
18:34 OldCoder This is a test
18:35 Clanmaster 3 of yours in public only 4 in the normal servers
18:35 OldCoder Not *mine*
18:35 Clanmaster no it didn't work
18:35 OldCoder Clanmaster, I must go soon
18:35 OldCoder Did you locate Freeminer servers?
18:36 OldCoder Clanmaster, if you can't connect to either Freeminer OR MT there is a connection issue on your end
18:36 Clanmaster i found yours that is called minetest.org 30020
18:36 OldCoder that is NOT Freeminer!!
18:36 OldCoder Sorry for !!
18:36 OldCoder But please listen
18:36 OldCoder Do NOT connect to MT using Freeminer
18:36 Clanmaster okay
18:36 OldCoder Connect to the Freeminer servers
18:36 OldCoder Can you please try that right now?
18:37 Clanmaster okay
18:38 Clanmaster non are working
18:38 OldCoder Your end
18:38 OldCoder Do any other gaming apps work?
18:38 OldCoder Network gaming
18:38 Clanmaster the normal servers and the minetest ones
18:38 OldCoder What do you mean
18:39 OldCoder Normal servers?
18:39 OldCoder And again... you cannot use Freeminer to connect to Minetest
18:39 Clanmaster the servers that are not minetest
18:39 OldCoder Look, is there a Freeminer server list or not? In the app?
18:39 Clanmaster my other network games work like clash of clans and boom beach
18:39 OldCoder All right
18:39 OldCoder Clanmaster, Freeminer and MT use different network protocols
18:40 OldCoder They are not compatible unless Freeminer is built a different way
18:40 Clanmaster it doesn't say freeminer server list
18:40 OldCoder In Freeminer...
18:40 OldCoder is there a server list?
18:40 Clanmaster there are public server list and server lists
18:40 OldCoder I have no idea what you are seeing
18:41 OldCoder Is there a server list in the app named Freeminer?
18:41 Clanmaster i had an app that i was playing on earlier
18:41 Clanmaster but now it is gone from play store
18:41 OldCoder setun.net:30002
18:41 OldCoder Can you connect there using Freeminer?
18:41 OldCoder setun.net port 30002

21:08 Krock Kinda funny when Windows notifies me that Minetest stopped working and I still can play in there
21:08 Krock Nuuh... why didn't I take a screenshot? :(
21:10 Out`Of`Control Krock:  lol, what if you were playing minecraft?

21:13 Out`Of`Control is there a way to make font bigger outside "gui scale"
21:15 Calinou Out`Of`Control, font_size = 16
21:15 Calinou (or any other value, default is 12 I think)
21:15 Calinou mono_font_size = 16
21:15 Calinou for console font
21:15 Calinou and font_path / mono_font_path (absolute or relative path to font .ttf)
21:15 Calinou I use Source Sans Pro / Source Code Pro here
21:16 Out`Of`Control in config?
21:17 Calinou yes, in minetest.conf
