I want to see the map generated further into the distance, even with max render distance set high there is nothing generated until I visit distant areas, then they are rendered 04:18 bobomb pooping, oops 04:19 bobomb where is the setting that determines the distance from the player to which mapgen is called? 04:21 bobomb is there a way to force-generate the map at a given location? 04:57 bobomb do i have to teleport all over the map to force generating or is there some other way, hack or no 06:23 guest42 I'm trying to get minetest server to work, but I don't know how to make it work on the network. I am using noip and trying to port forward to 30000, but it says I can't bind to socket, and I believe it is having issues with how I attempted to give it the url. 08:10 Jordach >the final rendering will now be rendered 08:10 Jordach >turns around 08:10 Jordach goddamn builders, ruining my blender :P 08:11 arsdragonfly !server arsdragonfly 08:11 MinetestBot arsdragonfly: Arsdragonfly's Landrush! Minetest server | arsenalmp.noip.me:30001 | Clients: 0/15, 0/1 | Version: 0.4.13-dev / minetest | Ping: 309ms 08:57 nm0i Huhu. 09:00 JamesTait Good morning all; happy Friday, and happy World Food Day! 😃 09:09 nm0i Eating only on fridays sucks :( 09:32 TheWild I don't think that it is very hard to create voxel engine like Minetest. If I could try to create one, what problems I could deal with? (both sides: the renderer and the game logic) 09:32 TheWild maybe I overlooked something 09:36 dv- have you ever made a game engine before 09:41 TheWild nope 09:44 Megaf Hi all, I was wondering if a low latency kernel would lead to a more responsive minetestserver 09:44 Megaf or maybe even a real time one 09:44 Megaf lead to a server with more imediate actions and lower latency/ping 09:57 TheWild my experience in OpenGL is drawing few triangles with coloured vertices (yay, my first GPU-rendered triangles!). I know this is only tiny fraction of what OpenGL can do, but finally I have gates to programming 3D graphics open. 10:02 TheWild this is how I see it right now: http://pastebin.com/92M89xXg 10:07 jin_xi its a long way to the top if you wanna rock'n'roll 10:09 TheWild there is a lot of other stuff like skybox, ambient occlussion, keep your animals alive... I would like to know what technical barriers I can meet. 10:15 TheWild e.g. I have no experience of detecting collissions of objects having irregular shapes. Okay, I can take each triangle from first object and compare each triangle with second object, but I just see this method being sluggish. Faster approaches have something to do with chopping objects into smaller pieces (octrees?). 10:15 TheWild But Minetest uses only AABBs, so not a problem. 10:18 nrzkt Megaf, no interest to have a low latency kernel because MT doesn't interact with kernel except for opening files... 10:45 Qwertie Is there any way to disable tnt? 10:47 Amaz enable_tnt = false 10:47 Amaz It's automatically disabled by default on multiplayer. 10:52 TheWild I got an idea. I'm sure that many of you playing MC over multiplayer and seeing moving entities (constant velocity e.g. wagon) realized that entities tend to teleport few steps forward and back quite frequently, especially wagon. 10:53 TheWild AFAIK Minetest server sends to client not only actual position, but also velocity. 10:54 TheWild we could go bit beyond MC and timestamp (millisecond precision, not necessarily UNIX timestamp) packets related to moving entities 10:56 TheWild example: client and server gets synced, and when client receives packet of entity with pos=12, vel=2 with t=10, but client timestamp is t=11, it can correct the position by assuming pos=14 10:56 Qwertie Amaz, Do i put that in world.mt? 10:56 Amaz minetest.conf, sorry for not saying 11:13 Qwertie I installed mesecons but im getting this error http://pastebin.com/kyVrH2s7 11:25 Qwertie Just disabled a few things and its running 11:26 VanessaE Qwertie: update your minetest game and engine. 11:26 Qwertie It probably is old. Got it from the debian repo 11:27 VanessaE ew. 11:27 VanessaE it's probably like, 0.4.9 or so, then :) 11:27 Qwertie 0.4.11 11:27 Qwertie :P 11:27 VanessaE close enough :P 11:27 Qwertie How long ago was that released? 11:28 VanessaE I don't remember 11:28 VanessaE 0.4.13 was a bit over a month ago. 11:33 Amaz 0.4.11 was released on 26 December 2014, according to github. 11:36 Calinou https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=minetest 11:36 Calinou use backports, or upgrade to testing 11:37 Calinou also, lol, they still host 2 years old mods in their repos 11:39 Megaf I think is non sense put minetest mods on a distro repo 11:40 H-H-H random question guys but is there any reason i couldnt use lua to talk to an external webserver via php in a mod 11:40 Megaf and almost non sense to put minetest too 11:42 crazyR_ H-H-H look into lua-sockets 11:44 H-H-H just reading up on them ty crazyR_ 11:44 crazyR_ :) your welcome 11:45 crazyR_ H-H-H also luacurl might be ussefull to you too http://luacurl.luaforge.net/ 11:47 Calinou Megaf, being in distribution repositories is good to get more popular. 11:47 Calinou mods too. 11:47 Calinou the problem is, they don't get updated 11:47 Calinou those are made by randomers 11:49 crazyR_ maybe someone from the dev team could keep a distribution repository active.. the person responsable for compiling the official windows exe maybe? 11:49 Calinou developers don't also want to be distribution packages, which is an horrible job 11:49 Calinou why would a Windows developer also have to care for Debian, Fedora, ...? 11:51 crazyR_ just an idea. but it needs someone who is reliable... 11:52 Calinou we can't pay them to be 11:52 Calinou it's just that Debian is overly bureaucratic, so people don't want to participate 11:54 crazyR_ gorgive me if im wrong here. but if minetest and all its dependanices were all compiled from source... wouldnt it then work on all/most unix/linux/ distrobutions?? 11:56 Calinou distributions always build from source, replacing in-tree dependencies with system dependencies when possible 11:56 Calinou (eg. bundled Lua replaced with liblua) 11:56 Calinou they often add patches for random reasons (disabling update checking and such) 11:57 crazyR_ is there no way to for a custom minetest repo to be made, with mt- prefixed before the package names? ive seen that done on various other softwares 11:57 crazyR_ mt-lua etc 11:59 Calinou we can have a PPA or a Copr 11:59 Calinou we have one for daily builds and stable releases 12:00 Calinou but 1. distro packagers don't accept bug reports for those, 2. users have to add it manually 12:01 H-H-H hmmm might help if i had lua socket installed lol 12:02 crazyR_ lol 12:02 waressearcher2 http://i.imgur.com/QAJYrDr.png 12:02 waressearcher2 wrong channel 12:08 Jordach 9gag simpleton 12:12 Calinou waressearcher2, http://i.imgur.com/qOzSqL5.png 12:12 Calinou same thing, ponified 12:47 H-H-H oh looks like the socket lib for lua 5.2.8 has a bug but downgrading to lua 5.1.5 and the apropriate socket lib seems to ork 12:49 crazyR_ what bug is that H-H-H 12:50 H-H-H a load of undefined refewrencies i didnt copy them anywhere as i just downgraded to 5.1.5 and its working fine now 13:49 luizrpgluiz hi all :) 14:14 CWz does v7 mapgen have float lands? 15:30 bobomb is max_block_generate_distance still valid in minetest.conf? 15:35 Calinou bobomb, yes? 15:35 bobomb max_block_send_distance is actually the setting i needed. 15:37 bobomb can a mod override .conf settings? 15:37 Calinou it can define its own 15:41 bobomb what is the method for that? 15:41 bobomb you mean a whole file or individual settings? 15:43 Calinou you can either store mod settings in their own file 15:43 Calinou or in minetest.conf 15:43 Calinou the latter seems to be preferred these days 15:56 FreeFull Why did I find a bunch of ice underground? 15:56 rom1504 because you were on mars 15:57 FreeFull Ok, it seems it's just ice that extends deep 15:57 FreeFull So the v7 map generator now generates biomes 16:00 FreeFull For some reason there are only pine trees, no apple trees 17:11 bobomb Calinou i mean can a setting be changed once it is read in? can you change render distance for example with a lua api method? 17:11 Calinou no, you can't 18:04 JohnnyComeL8ly Well, I meant to say so earlier, but I forgot/got busy... I'm not sure if Irrlicht is Wayland compatible, but I'm also not sure that it isn't by very nature of the idea that it is very simple and just a lib, afaIk.... (Plz correct me when I'm wrong ;-) 18:08 JohnnyComeL8ly Also, how do you "update" your git downloads without deleting the whole "root" git folder (thingy)... Idk what the proper terms are. 18:09 Calinou JohnnyComeL8ly, "git pull" in the directory 18:09 JohnnyComeL8ly Oh, thanks! I'll have to try that next time. 18:10 JohnnyComeL8ly I did see that cmd listed in the man page, but the wording didn't lend to this understanding. 18:13 JohnnyComeL8ly "Fetch from and integrate with another repository or a local branch." 18:15 Krock While experimenting with a PNP and NPN transistor to amplify my aidio signal I suddenly received AM radio 0.0 18:15 Krock *audio 18:17 bobomb is there a way to list all generated map chunks? i want to create a command that does deleteblock on all blocks 18:21 VanessaE bobomb: just delete the map file. 18:22 VanessaE (and no, there's no way to do what you want from within minetest) 18:42 JohnnyComeL8ly VanessaE: lol I was thinking the same thing when I read it. 18:43 JohnnyComeL8ly it = bobomb's question. 18:43 bobomb can the map file be deleted while the game is running? 18:44 VanessaE no 18:44 VanessaE well it probably can but idk what will happen then :P 18:45 VanessaE just shut the game down, delete the map file, and restart 18:45 bobomb no i need a way to "refresh" the map in game. i know it sounds crazy but it's an idea... 18:46 JohnnyComeL8ly Krock: I guess that is cool. :-| Idk what exactly that entails though. 18:46 JohnnyComeL8ly bobomb: What is the *need* coming from? 18:47 bobomb it is for my realterrain mod, i want to be able to tweak settings from a formspec, like scale, water level, etc, and have blocks refresh. i guess i can deleteblock for what's around me 18:49 GreenDimond holy... 18:49 GreenDimond that's a ton of users... 18:49 VanessaE that's because you're on the main minetest discussion channel. 18:50 JohnnyComeL8ly I suppose you could make your own modifications to MT for viewing/testing your mod so that you have a refresh cmd, but then use "Real" MT for final debugging. 18:50 nanepiwo still 145 is lots... 18:50 GreenDimond ive been on here before yesterday and there were only like 20... 18:50 JohnnyComeL8ly Aren't a few of those bots? 18:50 GreenDimond can i have the ve-servers link plz? 18:51 GreenDimond wait.. 18:51 GreenDimond its just #ve-servers yet i have to click on the link in irc to get there :P idk y 18:51 GreenDimond hia jordach! 18:52 Jordach uwotm8 18:52 GreenDimond hm...the #ve-servers thing didnt work... 18:52 bobomb i'll try van's idea of deleting the worldfile and see what happens haha 18:52 nanepiwo greendimond, its #minetest on inchra 18:52 VanessaE GreenDimond: you're on the wrong network. 18:52 GreenDimond i get that. 18:52 VanessaE webchat.inchra.net 18:53 VanessaE channel #ve-servers 18:53 nanepiwo oh did it change? 18:53 GreenDimond yeah..did it? 18:53 VanessaE change how? 18:53 GreenDimond i could get on with this one just yesterday :/ 18:54 VanessaE that's what it's always been except for a while where the webchat was on my domain (after inchra expired) 18:54 nanepiwo no weren't your servers on #minetest ? 18:54 GreenDimond dafaq... 18:54 GreenDimond im allready on the channel???? 18:55 GreenDimond wtf... 18:55 VanessaE GreenDimond: wrong network I said. 18:55 GreenDimond >:O WTF!!! 18:55 VanessaE nanepiwo: oh, yeah they used to be. moved them to a different channel because of too much drama 18:56 nanepiwo ah 18:57 GreenDimond hm...i got on which is good...but yesterday i got on thru normal kiwi irc.... 18:58 JohnnyComeL8ly Guys methinks she's talking about you.... 18:58 JohnnyComeL8ly Or one of you. 18:58 JohnnyComeL8ly ;-) 18:58 GreenDimond and wtf....theses players have stuff like <yamilet> and <longerstaff13> and <nyanpuppy> ....wtf?! 18:59 JohnnyComeL8ly Drama^^^^^ 18:59 VanessaE someone's browser doesn't know how to read HTML :P 18:59 GreenDimond check your definition of "Drama" Mr Jonny-boy 18:59 VanessaE bbl 18:59 GreenDimond so firefox doesnt support html but palemoon does??? 19:00 bobomb van it crashes. of course. but i think if you replaced the file with a blank one immediately it might work haha 19:00 nanepiwo I've seen that gltch too with the webchat on chrome 19:00 nanepiwo but with normal kiwi its fine 19:00 GreenDimond (im on firefox now) 19:01 JohnnyComeL8ly Drama = an episode that is turbulent or highly emotional 19:01 nanepiwo try kiwiirc.com/client/irc.inchra.net 19:01 JohnnyComeL8ly bbl 19:01 GreenDimond well ima go now. i has werk to du. so c yas. ill b back laterz. 19:02 GreenDimond goo-bi 20:01 crazyR_ the outgame intervention [outgame_intervention] mod found here: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=10809 am i right in thinking that it would cause a considerable diffrence to server performance? due to it reading a file so often? 20:09 est31 it seems to check the file every 4 seconds 20:09 est31 so not that much additional load 20:09 est31 but better not install stuff from hybriddog 20:09 est31 is a person you cant always trust 20:20 crazyR_ lol why do you say that, Whats he done? (or not done?). not that im bothered il be using it for inspiration for a slightly diffrent idea i have in mind. 20:26 est31 dunno VE knows the stories 20:26 est31 btw, what is your use case, what do you want to do 20:27 est31 and yes, you are correct, it does cause load to check a file repeatedly 20:27 est31 but doing it all 4 secs is negligible 20:31 crazyR_ i plan on using that idea behind a bash script so to create a cli to ingame or atleast thats just whats in my head right now, no doubt the idea will change 20:31 Krock There's a cookie monster trolling in firefox :< 20:32 Calinou "Firefox, you're supposed to be in my pocket, not the other way around" 20:33 * Krock tries to put the PC in his pocket 20:34 * Krock runs away until he notices it was actully his own computer 20:34 crazyR_ lol 20:56 JohnnyComeL8ly /back 21:00 Krock \forward 21:02 JohnnyComeL8ly Haha... you among many are open source joke machines. 21:55 * sfan5 gives https://i.imgur.com/sqZlnFh.jpg to Krock 21:56 Krock MEOW 21:56 Krock !cat 21:56 MinetestBot http://i.imgur.com/BIPTRoc.jpg 22:34 kaeza greetings 22:34 crazyR_ hey kaeza 23:13 JohnnyComeL8ly Hello to all the "newcomers". 23:37 JohnnyComeL8ly (On ppl leaving...)
