00:17 swift110 I would like to install the tutorial mod how do I do so in Linux?
00:20 swift110 I am looking at the instructions but don't understand how to access the folder it is in
00:23 wilkgr Ok, switf110
00:23 wilkgr Do you know where your home folder is?
00:25 swift110 places---> home folder
00:25 wilkgr Yes.
00:25 wilkgr What file browser are you using? Nemo?
00:25 swift110 im on linux mint so i believe caja
00:26 swift110 yes the file manager is caja
00:26 wilkgr Hang on, I use lm too. :D
00:26 swift110 ok
00:26 swift110 i use mate btw2
00:26 wilkgr Oh, ok.
00:27 wilkgr I use cinnamond..anyways
00:27 wilkgr once you're in the home folder, go the ".minetest" folder
00:27 wilkgr It is hidden by default, as it begins with a full stop.
00:27 swift110 oh no wonder
00:28 Akagi201 joined #minetest
00:28 swift110 so how do i unhide it
00:28 wilkgr What folders do you see now?
00:29 swift110 desktop documents downloads etc
00:29 wilkgr Ok.
00:30 wilkgr Right-click menu, uncheck "hide folders" or something similar...
00:30 wilkgr Or select the "view" menu at the top.
00:31 wilkgr Alternatively, go into the terminal, run "cd .minetest" and then run "caja" to open it in that folder
00:31 swift110 ok i got it thanks
00:31 wilkgr There should be a "games" folder.
00:32 wilkgr as well as a "worlds" folder
00:32 wilkgr Paste the tutorial map into the worlds folder and the tutorial subgame into the games folder.
00:32 swift110 i have cache clients and worlds
00:33 wilkgr Then to select the subgame (in Minetest) look below the "play" button.
00:33 wilkgr Make the games folder then...
00:34 swift110 ok
00:37 swift110 ok i got it thanks
00:37 wilkgr No worries :)
00:40 swift110 how long have you been playing minetest?
00:40 wilkgr A long time......I just haven't been on IRC, forums, servers for long
00:41 Shackra joined #minetest

00:44 Akagi201 joined #minetest
00:44 swift110 oh ok
00:45 swift110 I came across it because some friends were playing minecraft so i looked for it in linux and came across minetest
00:46 wilkgr Really? I was showing my friends that it's possible to have great games which aren't overpriced or made by gigantic companies.
00:49 swift110 That's awesome
00:50 swift110 I will be playing the game tonight once I get home.
00:50 wilkgr Then proceeded to show off supertuxkart...
00:50 swift110 I have spent some time on it and chopped down trees and got wood and stuff and explored a bit but I have to learn how to build things
00:50 swift110 Stk I talk to the developers a lot
00:51 wilkgr I usually use creative, rarely use survival.
00:51 swift110 me too
00:52 wilkgr Just wondering, any idea how to use wield_scale?
00:52 swift110 nope
00:52 swift110 I just started playing recently
00:53 wilkgr Oh, ok.

03:25 wilkgr swift110-phone I made a mesecons contraption that can push you an unlimited number of blocks almost instaneiously, but only diagonally
03:25 wilkgr With no extra mods apart from mesecons
03:25 wilkgr and worldedit
03:29 swift110-phone Ik
03:30 swift110-phone Ok
03:30 swift110-phone Interesting
03:35 Robby joined #minetest
03:36 wilkgr This works in one world but not the other...
03:38 wilkgr Any ideas anyone?
03:38 Ingar joined #minetest
03:40 wilkgr I see why....it relies on lag to work...
03:41 wilkgr There's not much of *that* in a singlenode mapgen world...
03:44 swift110-phone Hmm
03:44 wilkgr Off to the VanessaE creative server! Plenty of lag there! (no offence intended, Vanessa, it's just that it's on the other side of the globe)

04:26 Miner_48er joined #minetest
04:29 wilkgr Hi Miner_48er
04:29 Miner_48er hi
04:31 wilkgr If there was mesecons on linuxgaming2.com, I could implement my pusher (which can push entities, such as players, long distances almost instantaneiously.) there.
04:43 LazyJ wilkgr, Mesecons won't be installed in LinuxGaming2 because the mod can be used to create lag machines that will bring the server to a stand-still.
04:44 wilkgr Oh, ok...
04:44 wilkgr I'm actually kinda glad, I have seen on another server that it can be used to steal blocks. (I won't mention moontest by name...whoops)

05:58 FourFire joined #minetest
05:59 FourFire Greetings all
05:59 wilkgr Hi.
05:59 FourFire Does the game have a soundtrack these days?
05:59 wilkgr Soundtrack? It's got sounds if you mean that...
05:59 wilkgr Like walking on grass, digging, etc.
05:59 wilkgr If you mean background sounds, then grab the Ambience mod.
06:01 FourFire Ok, I meant like an OST
06:01 FourFire is that in a mod?
06:02 wilkgr I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean...
06:02 FourFire I mean a community made (of course) set of music, for the game
06:02 wilkgr Oh!
06:02 wilkgr Not that I'm aware...
06:03 FourFire Last time I played the game, I noted there was a certain amount of discussion about how though the game was functionally similar to MC, that the feel wasn't the same, that somethng was missing, I was convinced at the time, that this was caused by the lack of OST
06:04 wilkgr Try the ambiance mod though, it adds a lot to the game.
06:04 FourFire > This mod adds ambient sounds that you would naturally hear in the setting you are in. (Bats in caves, crickets at night, etc.) It also adds some amazing music. The motivation is to immerse you in Minetest so that it feels more like reality and less like a game.
06:04 FourFire yeah I'l try it
06:05 phantombeta Hmmm...
06:06 phantombeta How much RAM and CPU speed do I need to run minetest well?
06:06 phantombeta Because last time I tried to play it ran super slow on this computer...
06:06 phantombeta Well, some parts...
06:07 FourFire phantombeta, I ran it fine on my nexus 4 last time
06:07 FourFire (so, quad core, 1.2Ghz, ARM processor
06:07 FourFire )
06:07 phantombeta Blocks would take some time to appear and disappear when I did stuff
06:07 FourFire say, a 2Ghz processor from after 2010?
06:08 phantombeta FourFire: Celeron G530, 2.40 GHz
06:08 FourFire and something better than intel igpu from 2010?
06:08 phantombeta Around 2011, I think...
06:08 FourFire how much RAM?
06:08 wilkgr Not much
06:08 wilkgr Hang on a sec...
06:09 phantombeta http://pastebin.com/iEW9YEPJ These are my PC specs
06:09 FourFire need at least 2gb to run an os these days, some linuxes can run on less
06:09 phantombeta FourFire: I don't think the GPU really matters because the framerate itself was fine
06:09 wilkgr 200-300 MiB of ram at least...for 30 FPS
06:10 phantombeta The problem was that it seemed to be taking a long time to process actions related to the world
06:10 wilkgr gtg
06:10 phantombeta As if the world were ticking too slowly or something...
06:10 wilkgr Bye!
06:10 FourFire why dont you just test it?

21:29 bobomb when you use minetest.get_content_id in the main portion of a mod (not in a function) the results are different than if they are read inside a function. is there a callback that can be used to get content ids once all mods are done loading?
21:39 GunshipPenguin joined #minetest
21:40 PilzAdam bobomb, minetest.after(0, ...) is probably what you want
21:41 PilzAdam it is executed directly after the env is completely set up, so all nodes are registered

21:55 Xeprione VanessaE: do you C++?
21:58 bobomb why am i getting fire cids for all the wool:colors
21:58 Xeprione probably a bug
21:58 Xeprione :P
21:58 bobomb have they been renamed?
21:59 Xeprione don't know, i've been out of this community for a few years :D
21:59 Xeprione so i'm not really up to date with the updates and all :D
22:00 bobomb is there a command to identify the itemstring for what you are holding?
22:00 Xeprione but do you c++?
22:00 bobomb no this is a lua mapgen mod
22:00 Xeprione don't remember, let me google...
22:00 bobomb i can tinker in c++
22:00 Hobnob joined #minetest
22:00 Hobnob left #minetest
22:00 bobomb i am getting the correct cids for default items, but wool is all fire
22:01 Xeprione are textures ok?
22:03 bobomb ya
22:03 bobomb and i have another mod that uses wool and it is fine
22:03 bobomb now the wool in the mod in question is some other wrong block
22:04 bobomb maybe the mapgen can only use default nodes
22:04 Xeprione maybe
22:04 bobomb ugh
22:05 bobomb how utterly annoying
22:06 Xeprione i know...
22:06 Xeprione you know what's even more annoying?
22:06 bobomb whining?
22:06 Xeprione being asked for help more than the teacher :D
22:07 Hirato__ joined #minetest
22:07 bobomb come now, that is why you do this! you love it!
22:08 Xeprione i do love it :D
22:08 Xeprione it's just that it takes time for me to get my ass up, walk to the table and then walk back and sit back
22:08 Xeprione it feels good, but it gets annoying :D
22:10 Xeprione but how much c++ do you do?
22:10 Xeprione and also, do you know why c++ is called what it is?
22:17 bobomb no, i thought it came from fortran and then c
22:17 Xeprione no
22:17 bobomb i solved it, some weird issue with lua and table fields
22:18 Xeprione i saw a pic on 9gag...
22:18 Xeprione think of it like this:
22:18 Xeprione int c
22:18 Xeprione c++
22:18 Xeprione get it?
22:18 Xeprione c++ == c + 1
22:19 Xeprione anyway, i'm learning c++ by remaking a game i originally made in java
22:20 Xeprione i started by using glfw a week ago, but scratched that and restarted it with sdl2...
22:20 Xeprione so far so good :D
22:20 Xeprione wanna see my code?
22:22 Xeprione anyway, imma go to sleep... g'night
22:54 bobomb how do trees work haha
22:57 rom1504 trees don't work, they grow
22:59 larjona joined #minetest
23:01 bobomb when using a mapgen mod, how do you place a tree? is it just an mts import?
23:01 bobomb also how do you get a list of all players
23:04 rubenwardy joined #minetest
23:05 bobomb ruben! how do you get a list of all players in a world?
