What was the trick again? 03:15 Fritigern Oh, I think I remember. I believe it was something that Worldedit could do 03:25 LazyJ Fritigern, using WorldEdit, select an area larger than the affected, lighting glitch area, then: //replace air air 03:26 Fritigern Thank you! And that was the trick that I was thinking of. Though I wish there were a trick without WE 03:26 LazyJ Out of caution, set the time to high-noon (12000) before replacing the air. That way the light is constant and you don't have to deal with dawn and dusk. 03:26 LazyJ yw ;) 03:27 VanessaE also important: 03:27 VanessaE make damned sure ALL of the area has been loaded 03:27 VanessaE including the surrounding and above air 03:28 VanessaE otherwise you can make the shadows worse. 03:28 LazyJ Yup. A thorough, no-clip fly through is a good idea. 03:33 Fritigern Now, this bug has been around for a long time now. Its there really nothing that can be done to prevent this? Like, have the mod replace air with air after placing a tree perhaps? 03:36 edj exio4: Thanks, makes sense :) 03:42 VanessaE Fritigern: a while new lighting system :P 03:43 Fritigern Well poop. I don;t see that happening any time soon 03:43 Emperor_Genshin lol 03:51 VanessaE only RealBadAngel seems most likely to implement it 03:51 VanessaE he and I were discussing it last light, 03:51 VanessaE he thinks he's found a way to do hardware-assisted lighting. 03:52 VanessaE with unlimited light sources, and even colored lights (in theory) 03:52 Fritigern OMG, I have got the most beautiful cave system here!!! Using only plantlife and moretrees, i used the seed 12374357347419492203 on a v7 map. The caves/canyons start at near 450, 8, -312 03:52 VanessaE some extension to irrlicht, that can be compiled into minetest. idk how far he's gotten with putting that code to use though 03:53 Fritigern Oh! that would be great! It is one of the most visible bugs to end users 04:32 paramat the shadow bugs with moretrees can probably be fixed by placing trees as saplings that grow a few seconds later by ABM, that should be the mod default 04:33 VanessaE Fritigern: set moretrees to only spawn saplings 04:33 VanessaE there's a setting in its default_settings file. change/put that in minetest.conf (I think!) 04:34 Fritigern Okay, will see how that goes. BTW, did you check out the canyons/caves that I described above? It's very photogenic 04:35 VanessaE no 04:56 paramat you could post a screenshot here or in the forum 05:04 Hijiri I've put my thing in a forum topic, even though it doesn't have many testable things yet: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13820&p=203123 05:14 Hijiri Is there a way to programatically punch a tnt with a torch 05:14 Hijiri (Or any node with a particular wielded item) 05:14 Hijiri or alternatively a less hacky way to activate tnt 05:15 Hijiri (before anybody mentions X Y problem) 05:19 lemon just found this https://github.com/technomancy/ss-calandria/ 05:21 Emperor_Genshin that looks like fun 05:21 lemon yeah 05:29 lemon http://storage5.static.itmages.ru/i/15/1231/h_1451539792_5990877_dc4abfebbe.png :D 05:37 lemon http://storage1.static.itmages.ru/i/15/1231/h_1451540205_1065166_0867b17d6b.png 05:48 Emperor_Genshin Anyone here using a Windows 32Bit system? 05:50 Emperor_Genshin Well? 05:51 LazyJ Sorry, no. My laptop is Windows 8, my desktop Linux Mint 17.3. 05:51 Emperor_Genshin It's ok 06:02 lemon Is it possible to edit a particular skybox texture on the fly? 06:08 Emperor_Genshin lemon, please explain further 06:09 Emperor_Genshin "on the fly" 06:10 lemon I think I found what I was looking for, http://dev.minetest.net/texture 06:11 lemon Emperor_Genshin, I was searching for a method to edit textures from the lua. 06:13 Emperor_Genshin hmm edit as in adding? 06:14 lemon not just adding, but also deleting 06:15 Emperor_Genshin could be possible 06:18 Emperor_Genshin lemon, are you looking for something similar to this? https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13775 06:22 lemon Emperor_Genshin, I want to make something like farmesh 06:22 lemon For instance, I can draw sea on the skybox based on player's elevation. 06:23 Emperor_Genshin Ah I see 06:23 Emperor_Genshin that is something that i'm not sure would be possible on the current build 06:23 Emperor_Genshin however would be a great feature 06:24 lemon At least I can make farmesh for the sea. 06:25 Emperor_Genshin hmm so far you can make it frame by frame I guess AFAIK. 06:25 Emperor_Genshin though that would require alot of skybox textures 06:33 Emperor_Genshin hmm, farmesh 06:33 Emperor_Genshin wait, this is a feature that is already available 06:34 Emperor_Genshin It could be possible lemon 06:36 lemon Emperor_Genshin, is is available? 06:41 Emperor_Genshin lemon, maybe though it's not supported since 0.4 06:43 lemon Emperor_Genshin, there is one in freeminer, but it is not ready yet 06:45 Emperor_Genshin If freeminer has it, then I believe minetest still has the feature. 06:48 * Emperor_Genshin really needs to get himself a new mouse 06:49 VanessaE farmap is coming soon-ish for minetest 06:49 VanessaE if c55 ever finishes it :P 06:49 sofar what is farmap? 06:49 VanessaE variably-sized large voxels in the distance, rather than angular/smoothed terrain 06:49 Emperor_Genshin https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=5624 06:56 lemon How far the skybox texture is placed from the player? 06:56 VanessaE infinite. 06:56 VanessaE (effectively) 07:13 lemon I made it :3 07:26 yunfan VanessaE: i heard that you are using the leveldb backend? 07:47 Thomas-S hi 07:59 Hijiri ok, I figured out a way to do the tnt thing, I can call its on_blast function, which lights the tnt 08:00 VanessaE yunfan: yep. my servers use leveldb. 08:01 MyTeke_ChrisWMas WOW.. 08:03 MyTeke_ChrisWMas Why use Sqlite..??? comeon... is sqlite better, risky or plain crazy to run a GIS, render farm or mapping. 08:05 VanessaE couldn't tell you. I switched to leveldb because it's a bit faster, and kept it because maps stored therein are smaller than with sqlite. 08:05 VanessaE (leveldb employs some lightweight compression of the database)\ 08:05 yunfan VanessaE: ihow to do configure enable it? 08:06 yunfan well leveldb is good at such key value storing issue 08:06 VanessaE most builds already have support for it. for a brand new world, just edit your world.mt and delete your map.sqlite 08:06 MyTeke_ChrisWMas Yes, same here. LevelDB allows for 64-bit processing.. 8 cores or more processing and fast speeds. 08:06 VanessaE for existing worlds, look at the --migrate command 08:06 MyTeke_ChrisWMas well, I have had to Migrate many times. 08:07 yunfan and leveldb is scalable 08:07 VanessaE I can't speak for its scalability versus sqlite. 08:08 MyTeke_ChrisWMas Yes.. Very, this mapping can use ALL cores on your server, less buffer space and more spliced ram per emerge thread. 08:08 VanessaE that doesn't help much in practice. 08:08 VanessaE the backend still has to wait on other parts of minetest 08:09 MyTeke_ChrisWMas Yes, Like ServerThread. Though saving faster and async LevelDB can be very great. 08:10 VanessaE I meant more like game logic, lua mapgen hooks, and that sort of thing. those aren't multi-threaded, so on any remotely complex server, the database backend gets very little chance operate at full blast 08:10 yunfan so i was wondering if the server could suuport multiple threads and each take control a part of map 08:11 VanessaE nope. 08:11 VanessaE it can't right now 08:11 VanessaE some day, it might 08:11 VanessaE depends if multi-threaded Lua becomes possible. 08:11 VanessaE hmmmm: ^^^^ that's your arena 08:11 yunfan why you need multi-thread lua? 08:12 VanessaE because in most servers, the mapgen makes use of some Lua hooks to add stuff to the map, like trees and plants. 08:12 yunfan cant you made a cross lua-vm community solution 08:12 VanessaE and aside from that, there's Lua events that have to handle game logic 08:12 MyTeke_ChrisWMas Yeah, this is why I had a AMD Radeon RamDisk to Keep data stored securely while allowing for Best results, Server hosting and Reliable Mapping besides just ONE ServerThread :-( 08:13 VanessaE I don't know what the best method is for handling multi-thread Lua, but I don't expect it will be any time soon 08:13 MyTeke_ChrisWMas Hmmm, yeah. I can understand. 08:14 VanessaE MyTeke_ChrisWMas: indeed, I store some of my servers' data in the /run/shm/ RAMdisk also. logs, player counts, stats databases, whatever else I can put there that it doesn't matter if it gets erased. 08:14 yunfan the design decision make me feel insane , iam a backend developet 08:14 VanessaE yunfan: well then contribute to the engine if you think you can improve it 08:14 VanessaE code, make pull requests, talk to the devs 08:15 yunfan VanessaE: i am not a cpp developer , python is my primary lang 08:15 MyTeke_ChrisWMas well, the Design is VERY important for Server Hosting.. I want Minestest to go Epic Multi-Threads/Cores/Nodes.. So, if I can help the development then Amazing.. 08:15 VanessaE ohh 08:15 VanessaE MyTeke_ChrisWMas: if you think you can help, do try. 08:16 MyTeke_ChrisWMas python scares me, those things Bite. I have been programming Python sense high school. Then robots with Perl and Java plus Python. 08:16 yunfan also the document is not clear when i ask people in minetest-dev, they tell me just read the code 08:17 yunfan dont worry we habe cython which has been used in nada's mars roller 08:18 yunfan actually i think that's not the perfect choice for that purpose 08:18 MyTeke_ChrisWMas I want PHP, Lua hmmm if you can NOT compete sorry Lua you'll stay on one cpu core while the rest of the Threads play Reliable and scalable. Minetest with Lua has predictable Server Node success. 08:18 VanessaE whether it happens is mostly a matter of someone being willing to code it 08:19 VanessaE there's not really any technical reason that it can't be done. 08:19 VanessaE where it comes to code, there's very little that is, to my mind, impossible. 08:19 yunfan well i am ok with lua, i learned most knowledge from the book "prohramming in lua" 08:19 yunfan but php is not acceptable to me 08:19 MyTeke_ChrisWMas once we get Minetest and Lua on a control node. Yes, it must be completed for a Final Minetest uprise. 08:19 VanessaE (there is some resistance to the idea though because it's assumed that modders will get stupid when handling things like threads) 08:21 MyTeke_ChrisWMas Yeah, though modders can just care about the mod and just let the game handle which background threads are used for things like Itemstacks, lights/renders and Player stuff. 08:21 MyTeke_ChrisWMas Very Understood Vanessa 08:22 yunfan i just hope they could give me a clear and brief document on protocol 08:22 yunfan so i can make my own server implement 08:23 MyTeke_ChrisWMas "You know what I think, ->modders<- now and days are lazy" for a inter-game competition. 08:25 yunfan btw, can you push lua code from server to client? 08:25 yunfan just like jsonp solution for web 08:25 MyTeke_ChrisWMas I Believe and Mostly NOT.. You may use a different file handler. 08:27 VanessaE yunfan: I believe that's the intent eventually 08:27 VanessaE but right now, Lua is strictly server-side 08:28 yunfan VanessaE: so the current client is like an old html only web browser? 08:29 VanessaE I suppose you could say that, but that's over-simplifying it. 08:30 yunfan so wjen ypu want to make a customer ui , you should send the frawing action? 08:31 VanessaE you set up directives in the formspec language, like buttons, text objects, lists, and other widgets 08:31 VanessaE the client interprets them and draws them. 08:32 yunfan ok got it, thats a point that we could use client lua to reduce the bandwitch 08:33 yunfan also are there any standards for modders to read? 08:35 VanessaE the Lua-Users tutorial site (http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaDirectory), the PiL (http://www.lua.org/pil/), the lua_api (https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt), and other peoples' code. 08:36 VanessaE also rubenwardy's modding handbook (http://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/) 08:38 yunfan ok thanks 08:47 slime http://storage3.static.itmages.ru/i/15/1231/h_1451551672_5888206_48ab6fc6ba.png 08:48 slime I have no idea how I made this texture. 08:50 slime Here is the code https://github.com/slemonide/farmap/blob/master/init.lua 08:50 slime I am trying to draw 100x100 texture from 1x1 texture and then combine it with other texture. 08:53 yunfan i have see many different texture in different resolution mixed up 08:53 yunfan which is weird 09:06 slime What is wrong with this code?

Why should the world be blamed for someone problems? 12:50 VanessaE probably because there are so many people out there that are actively trying to set the world on fire. 12:51 VanessaE it sometimes feels like there's more of them than there are of normal people who just want to lead a normal, productive life. 12:51 slime As long as ratio of people who don't try setting world on fire to people who try less than 0.5, we are safe. 12:52 Taoki slime: Because sometimes it's look like it's getting closer and closer to a complete dystopia. 12:53 slime That doesn't mean you should set the world on fire. 12:53 Taoki And becoming a horrifying place to live in. Because of fanatics making completely crazy and irrational laws, for one thing. 12:53 Taoki Yeah, it's just a saying 12:54 VanessaE slime: the problem with your theory is that you need more like a ratio of 1 in 100 or less, to be "safe", as that one can easily destroy the other 99. 12:58 slime Well, we also have to include the fact that some individuals can destroy the world more easily than the other. 13:11 red-001 Taoki 13:11 red-001 so does the law cover 3d models that can be used to make a *working* gun or just a gun? 13:11 VanessaE well the point being there are enough people trying to destroy the world that their numbers are vastly outweighed by their impact on the world. 13:12 Taoki red-001: I assume working gun. But that can be a normal gun model created by an animator, if they want to go ahead and add detail like the internal parts. 13:12 Megaf This is not good http://status.linode.com/ 13:12 red-001 link to bill http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/parlment/nswbills.nsf/0/db59405bb0f2f006ca257eeb00194514/$FILE/XN%20Firearms.pdf 13:12 Megaf some idiot is DDoSsing lots of datacentres 13:13 VanessaE wow 13:13 slime What about models of rocket engines? 13:13 red-001 it says firearms 13:15 red-001 well It makes sense 13:15 VanessaE Megaf: which of course means sooner or later they're gonna try to hit my host...(and find themselves black-holed there, thankfully) 13:15 red-001 if you ban gun you also ban blueprints for guns 13:16 Megaf VanessaE: where do you host your server? 13:16 red-001 http://map.norsecorp.com/ 13:16 Megaf I turned my server off until these issues are solved... 13:16 VanessaE Megaf: OVH 13:18 Megaf VanessaE: the Irish one? 13:18 VanessaE I believe they're of French origin. 13:19 VanessaE my server is at one of their datacenters in Ontario 13:19 Megaf there is one ovh.ie 13:19 Megaf I think it's all the same 13:21 slime red-001, what about guns drawings? 13:22 red-001 do you draw gun blueprints? 13:22 red-001 if not I think you are ok 13:24 VanessaE red-001: the problem is it's a slippery slope. 13:24 VanessaE what's next for them to outlaw? drawing of those sphere-shaped-with-fuse bombs common in cartoons? 13:24 VanessaE +s 13:24 red-001 is owning a airsoft gun vs a firearm a slippery slope? 13:25 Taoki red-001: I don't think it matters what it is you draw. By merely suggesting that drawing something is a crime, we're descending into madness here, in my opinion. 13:25 Taoki And a place where no one really went. 13:26 * Calinou is downloading gun models from Blendswap right now… 13:26 Calinou ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 13:26 Calinou also sounds from Freesound 13:26 red-001 do you think that drawing working blueprints for nuclear weapons should be legal? 13:26 VanessaE red-001: yes, it should be. 13:26 VanessaE what should NOT be legal is *building* such a thing 13:26 Taoki Calinou: You monster! Those sounds can be used to trick people into using guns, which is a monstrous crime! 300 years in prison, @#$@$@$@$#@!!! 13:27 VanessaE (unless you have the appropriate permits etc etc etc) 13:27 Taoki VanessaE: Exactly. 13:27 Calinou Taoki, I want to make a realistic FPS someday using Godot :p so I'm collecting assets 13:27 red-001 what about drawing instructions on making chemical weapons? 13:27 VanessaE outlawing drawings, models, blueprints, etc. is tantamount to a thoughtcrime 13:27 Taoki At very worst, 3D printers themselves could get some regulations. At best, just outlaw printing and / or carrying the weapon in public altogether. 13:27 Calinou something in the spirit of Action Quake 2, True Combat, Urban Terror… 13:28 Calinou small-ish maps, focused on deathmatch or capture the flag 13:28 Taoki Calinou: Hope people are still allowed to create art by the time you finish. (joking, they will be... but things like this just make one wonder) 13:28 Taoki Anyway, to outlaw making a drawing... wow. 13:29 VanessaE Taoki: over on this side of the planet, they do the same thing regarding depictions of underage kids. half of what people my age grew up with is considered child porn or some form of abuse now. 13:29 Taoki I mean I hate to bring up such a highly uncomfortable subject. But in most places of the world, even child porn is okay to draw, granted of course it's fictional characters / etc. Some places have a few laws against that I figure, but it's not a globally outlawed thing. Because no one was dumb enough to go that far not even for this.... 13:30 VanessaE I have no stomach for such things, but I have even less tolerance for making them illegal when no one's being harmed. 13:30 Taoki That. 13:30 VanessaE here even a fictional character constitutes child porn, apparently. 13:31 VanessaE half the stuff they put on Japanese TV and other media would result in federal prison time here. :-/ 13:31 Taoki There are some weird places like that... but it's not everywhere. Hopefully it will at worst be the same with gun sketches. 13:31 * red-001 sigh 13:31 red-001 it's not gun sketchs 13:31 * Calinou should succeed in self-hosting ownCloud 13:31 sfan5 Anyway, to outlaw making a drawing... wow. 13:31 sfan5 http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/criminalizing-cartoons-how-the-law-is-dealing-with-anime-child-pornography-in-canada 13:31 Calinou my Framadrive is using 1.5 GB out of 2 GB :( 13:31 red-001 well done 13:32 Calinou I host the assets I collect there, to not lose them in case of SSD crash 13:32 red-001 why? 13:32 Taoki sfan5: Yeah... why is it not even surprising any more... 13:33 Taoki And humans still claim to have evolved from monkeys. Some have a long way to go still... 13:35 Taoki That said, I've grown to accept that from many perspectives, America is a worse place to live in than Iraq. Like yeah, I know... there aren't any bombs there and you're allowed most degrees of freedom. But when you have to be scared of making or watching a frigging drawing or saying a basic thing... forget it, safer to just live in India. 13:36 red-001 really I don't like america but I would chose it anyday over Iraq 13:36 Taoki It's weird, it's sad, but it's true. The beacon if democracy is often just a hidden beacon if dictatorship and tirrany. But that's diving into now typical and cliche knowledge :P 13:36 Taoki Meh... overall I would too. But frankly, sometimes, I actually tend to doubt even such things... 13:38 red-001 well so far it's only a law against working blueprints for guns 13:38 Taoki In one place, you risk being shot or abducted by terrorists for no reason. In the other, shot or arrested by police for reasons just as absurd. So which is better then? Someday, that might become a legitimate question, the way some things are going... 13:38 slime http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/2048/ 13:40 Calinou ironically, USA where the free/libre software movement started 13:40 Calinou and the "original" FSF is much more active than the FSFE 13:40 red-001 https://huonw.github.io/2048-4D/ 13:41 Calinou I used 95 MB of my 200 MB Blendswap allowance of this month D: 13:46 VanessaE bbl 13:48 slime red-001, OMG 13:49 slime I couldn't even solve 2d version. 13:49 red-001 4-d is confusing 13:49 red-001 wait 13:49 red-001 these are solvable? 13:50 red-001 ...I didn't know 13:50 slime It should be provable if they are solvable. 14:04 Ingar whoever asked for real snow sounds: doesnt like like we're going to get snow this year 14:04 Ingar it's summer outside :D 14:06 * STHGOM has snow 14:07 slime Snow can't speak -_- 14:09 Ingar t's a crystalin entity 14:10 Calinou Ingar, where are your step sounds? 14:10 Ingar Calinou: here https://github.com/IngarKCT/minetest_game/tree/ingar/soundpack 14:11 Ingar in general I like, I still need new dirt sounds though 14:11 Ingar and some assorted mining/breaking sounds 14:11 Calinou I don't see them 14:11 Ingar * breaking/placing sounds 14:12 Ingar Calinou: mods/default/sounds 14:12 Ingar there's also a few code changes to load the sounds, and to balance volume levels 14:13 Calinou the sounds are 3 years old? 14:13 Calinou in that folder 14:13 Ingar Calinou: are you in the "soundpack" branch ? 14:13 Calinou ah 14:14 Ingar yeah I should move it to master 14:15 Calinou what's the license? 14:15 Ingar WTFPL 14:16 Calinou ok :) 14:16 Ingar credit is ofc appreciated ;) 14:17 Calinou I try to always credit, even if not obligated 14:20 xenkey Hi 14:20 xenkey Is it possible to pipe items into LV furnaces through pneumatic tubes? 14:20 Ingar Shopping time.. before the darkness comes 14:27 Taoki http://i.imgur.com/9JlVeNA.png I laughed too hard at this. 14:31 slime http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/12/30/ian_murdock_debian_founder/ 14:44 Telesight Hello all ...

There is nothing else in the way. 16:29 Calinou cimbakahn, does the block temporarily appear client-side? if not, it might mean the admin has placed a "nobuild"-style block which prevents all building 16:30 cimbakahn I tried logging off for over an hour and that didn't work. I tried using left/shift to place a block and that didn't work either. 16:30 rubenwardy Which server? 16:31 rubenwardy When you dig, does anything appear in chat? 16:31 cimbakahn I was at Siva_Machina's place. I have permissions there. 16:31 cimbakahn He let me do one of his rooms. 16:32 cimbakahn Everything was going fine and then there was this spot where i needed to place 3 blocks and it wont let me. 16:32 cimbakahn I will look. 16:35 cimbakahn No. It didn't read anything in chat. Here is a screenshot ----> https://imgur.com/Ijf0d41 16:36 cimbakahn I should be able to place those 3 blocks. I even took the turbines out and tried it and it didn't work. 16:38 cimbakahn It is on stormchaser3000. 16:39 Fixer Calinou, what?? 16:39 Calinou Fixer, read the description 16:41 cimbakahn Someone said that i should ask storm to crash the server and then restart it. ?????? 16:41 cimbakahn Would that work? 16:43 cimbakahn This has never happened before. The only thing different that has happened recently, is that an admin gave me noclip. Could noclip have anything to do with placing blocks? 16:44 Calinou if you enable noclip (and have the privilege), you can place blocks inside of you 16:44 cimbakahn If it does, i'll just ask him to take that privilage away from me. 16:44 Calinou (alternatively, I think you can force it everywhere client-side using `enable_build_where_you_stand = true`) 16:46 cimbakahn Would i type this in the chat ----> `enable_build_where_you_stand = true` 16:47 cimbakahn Do you think it would fix the problem? 16:52 xenkey Hi 16:53 xenkey How do supply converters in technic work? 16:53 Krock cimbakahn, /set enable_build_where_you_stand true 16:53 Krock xenkey, a cable on top, another on the bottom 16:54 cimbakahn Do i type that into the chat box? 16:54 xenkey right 16:54 Krock make sure you have two switching stations 16:54 xenkey alright 16:54 xenkey the networks being different voltages? 16:55 Krock everything other is nonsense 16:55 cimbakahn Could i put it back to false when i'm done? 16:55 CWz /set enable_build_where_you_stand true will only work on singleplayer as on a server it will be met with the missing privs message 16:55 Krock make sure you always use HV cables when the machines are far away - less voltage loss! :P 16:56 Krock CWz, yes. Taht's why there are also text editors for minetest.conf and the fancy settings menu :) 16:57 cimbakahn I don't know if i have those privs, but i can try. If it works, can i put it back to false when i'm done? 16:57 Krock no, that command is supposed to set all to "true", all other will not work 16:57 Krock pay attention of sarcasm 16:58 xenkey Alright, thanks Krock 16:58 cimbakahn I see. I think i should wait for storm. Do you have any other suggestions? 16:59 Krock !next 16:59 MinetestBot Another satisfied customer. Next! 17:07 xenkey Krock: Do you play lots of Technic? 17:07 Krock xenkey, nope, just digged in my memory and found something about that mod 17:07 xenkey Alright 17:07 Krock no garantuee if it works 17:08 xenkey Because I'm really looking for someone to show me some larger systems, like sorting and stuff from within MT 17:17 stormchaser3000 cimbakahn: i am here 17:17 stormchaser3000 XD 17:17 cmdskp Anyone got new boots for the snow and ice soon? They could be a handy idea for this MT new potential feature: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/3506 17:17 cimbakahn Hello storm! 17:18 cimbakahn Are you on mumble? 17:19 cimbakahn There is 1 area that i can not place blocks in, and i can not figure out why. There is nothing else in the way. 17:23 Hijiri oh wow 17:23 Hijiri I just realized my dream was about minetest 17:23 kaadmy Hijiri: you're lucky ;) 17:24 Hijiri it was about some country that was polluted and bad, but now I realize it was a voxel world and people were talking about mods 17:25 Hijiri sleeping in has been very good for my dreams 17:30 * sfan5 meows at Hijiri 17:31 kaadmy :D 17:51 xenkey is there any faster way to get rid of technic wires? 17:53 kaadmy axe? 17:54 kaadmy it's in the choppy group, so anything that digs wood digs wires 17:55 Krock worldedit. 18:01 kaadmy that too ;) 18:01 Krock heh, /deleteblocks here 18:01 Krock ultrafast 18:55 hmmmm TW-TW-TW-TWENTY SIXTEEN! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXYmFqEkCGQ 18:57 cmdskp hmmm... 18:57 red-001 wat? 18:58 Out`Of`Control hi 19:00 cmdskp can light_source be negative? (e.g. cause darkness on surrounding nodes?) 19:00 red-001 maybe? 19:01 kaadmy proably not 19:04 Calinou no 19:04 Calinou even Tesseract removed negative lights ;) 19:04 cmdskp spoil sports them! 19:05 cmdskp a flowing liquid that rolls out darkness is an awesome feature 19:06 * cmdskp wanted to make it :/ I guess I'l need to look into the lighting cpp at some point =) 19:50 Jordach hmm 19:50 Jordach i think there is a light method of making rain feasible without using particles 19:52 Jordach not sure about not making it clip within a building, but eh 19:54 Hijiri what field does it set when someone presses enter button on a formspec? 19:56 kaadmy try it; in the on_recieve function do: `print(dmp(fields))` 19:56 kaadmy dump* 20:00 sofar Jordach: weather effects should be implemented in the client directly, so that the server can just send weather change messages to the client, and the client does all the effects 20:01 kaadmy sofar: yes 20:01 Hijiri it sets quit to true 20:01 Hijiri so I guess there's no way to distinguish enter from esc 20:01 sofar that way the client can do the collision for rain particles, avoid rain indoor etc. 20:03 Jordach sofar, i actually thought of cheating 20:03 Jordach instead of having particles close to a client 20:03 cmdskp button_exit[..] and button [..] allow you to trigger sending the fields from the form and either to exit or leave the form up. Thus you can make your own 'Enter' button do either a quit on click or not 20:03 cmdskp however, you can't programmatically ask the form to close from Lua :/ 20:03 Jordach why not have special meshnodes that span 4x4x1 nodes in a giant plantlike appearance with an animated rain texture 20:07 sofar Jordach: I wouldn't worry too much about cheating 20:07 sofar Jordach: most people want weather because of the ambience, not the gameplay... weather doesn 20:07 sofar t really affect much anyway 20:08 kaadmy sofar: but if weather affected mobs/plants? 20:08 kaadmy maybe if snow crushed plants, and rain sped up growing? 20:15 Hijiri cmdskp: I mean, if the user presses enter instead of any buttons 20:16 nm0i Megaf: guess 20:16 Megaf heh 20:17 nm0i Megaf: Pst-pst. Here is the secret: I do too. 20:18 cmdskp I'm afraid Enter is basically escape in MT forms, afairc 20:18 cmdskp It's irritating in fields, I've noticed, for searching 20:18 Hijiri rip 20:18 Hijiri maybe I should make a feature request 20:19 cmdskp And you can't bind Enter to something else... :( 20:19 Hijiri oh, it already is a request 20:19 cmdskp =) 20:19 Megaf nm0i: whats your server? 20:31 Megaf can anyone do a ping6 mt.megaf.info and tell me if it works please? 20:31 Megaf !server Megaf 20:31 MinetestBot Megaf: Megaf Server v4.0 | mt.megaf.info:30003 | Clients: 0/10, 0/3 | Version: 0.4.13-Megaf / MegafXploreNext | Ping: 104ms 20:32 Megaf :O 20:32 Megaf !server Megaf 20:32 MinetestBot Megaf: Megaf Server v4.0 | mt.megaf.info:30003 | Clients: 0/10, 0/3 | Version: 0.4.13-Megaf / MegafXploreNext | Ping: 104ms 20:32 Megaf meh 20:32 Megaf nm0i: back it the day my ping was 2ms and lately was 8ms, but this is just surreal 20:32 Megaf 104ms!? 20:33 Megaf I hope they fix that soon 20:36 sofar kaadmy: weather should influence plants, but through plants mods using something like minetest.get_weather_state() 20:36 kaadmy yah 20:36 sofar or minetest.is_raining() 20:36 sofar I'd like weather to be local, so minetest.get_weather(pos) seems appropriate 20:37 kaadmy yes 20:37 sofar I've tried to make a core patch at one point for this 20:37 kaadmy but that should wait(tm) 20:37 sofar didn't get far with it yet 20:37 kaadmy for client-side scripting 20:37 sofar it would be a protocol change I think 20:38 sofar we'd need a new weather state packet 20:38 Hijiri where can I read about the different visual types for LuaEntitySAOs? 20:47 alket Happy New Year everyone 20:50 kaadmy happy new year ;) 20:50 kaadmy about 11 hours away for me 20:59 Krock 2 hours 21:11 xenkey Hi 21:11 xenkey How do i take items out of a LV furnace with a pipe? 21:14 Hijiri Can ObjectRefs become invalid, and how can I tell if they do? 21:20 sofar Hijiri: if not objectref return end ? 21:24 cmdskp I do not know for Lua, but logically, a reference should never become invalid in an automatic garbage collection system that Lua does 21:24 sofar xenkey: use a filter/injector from pipeworks 21:24 sofar xenkey: https://github.com/VanessaE/pipeworks/wiki/images/Furnaces.png 21:25 xenkey does that need to be pulsed with mesecons to remove an item? 21:25 sofar yes 21:25 cmdskp however, custom userdata inside the ObjectRef may be saved off(unloaded) and no longer be accessible until they are loaded back 21:27 cmdskp but I haven't tested that yet =) 21:30 cmdskp The best way to test is to see if the ObjectRef still has a property which you expect, or go through a for key,value in pairs(your_object_ref) and print out what it has 21:31 cmdskp or is it type UserData? I forget :/ 21:32 bas080 So new year is happening one and a half hours here 21:32 kaadmy bas080: same time zone as Krock? 21:33 Krock yup 21:38 Hijiri sofar: What if it's not nil, but doesn't refer to a valid object? 21:48 sofar Hijiri: I'd say that would definitely be a bug in lua? 21:49 Megaf !server Megaf 21:49 MinetestBot Megaf: Megaf Server v4.0 | mt.megaf.info:30003 | Clients: 1/10, 1/3 | Version: 0.4.13-Megaf / MegafXploreNext | Ping: 7ms 22:10 Hijiri sofar: What happens to an ObjectRef then when the entity gets removed? 22:12 sofar don't know for sure, but I'd assume it ges set to nil 22:15 Hijiri That doesn't sound right, arbitrary variables can't change like that 22:23 Out`Of`Control !server Liberty 22:23 MinetestBot Out`Of`Control: Liberty Land | mt.rbose.org | Clients: 8/50, 3/8 | Version: 0.4.13-dev / ayntest | Ping: 17ms 22:23 xenkey I'm making 1,000,000EU/s with technic -.- 22:23 xenkey I can charge up a HV box in 0.5 seconds 22:23 kaadmy wow 22:29 Krock xenkey, use LV generators and convert it to HV! 22:30 xenkey hah 22:30 xenkey how about nuclear LV generators 22:30 Krock sounds good but I doubt there are some nuclear LV generators 22:31 kaadmy only HV nukes ;) 22:31 nm0i Megaf: Darkmew 22:31 nm0i Megaf: I'm bringing it down soon 22:31 twoelk argh, slowly but surely win10 is convincing me it is a piece of shit I should have never installed 22:32 Megaf nm0i: why? 22:32 nm0i Megaf: don't like current modset. 22:32 twoelk welcome to missing driver hell 22:35 xenkey https://sr.ht/-1fO.png 22:36 nm0i That looks like stuff. 22:39 cmdskp Hijiri, are you still here? I've done a test on ObjectRef 22:41 xenkey Okay so 22:41 xenkey I've worldedited wires, how do i make them mass-link? 22:43 kaadmy they don't link together when placed? 22:43 xenkey i never placed them 22:43 xenkey i mean they do 22:43 xenkey i used worldedit 22:44 kaadmy do they work? 22:44 Hijiri cmdskp: hi 22:44 cmdskp Well, for the record, in case I forget the results: an ObjectRef from a deactivated(unloaded) entity returns a valid value, but the returns of get_luaentity() and getpos() both return nil, get_hp() on the other hand returns 1 22:44 cmdskp =) wb 22:44 Hijiri ok, thanks 22:44 cmdskp however, if I then go back to the entity and it gets reloaded in and appears 22:45 Hijiri I guess I can use getpos() then 22:45 cmdskp when I check my ref, it still returns nil for the get_luaentity(), etc. 22:45 Hijiri to cover both entities and players 22:45 cmdskp no, getpos() returns nil 22:45 Hijiri I mean to check for validity 22:45 cmdskp ah true 22:47 cmdskp so it looks like the ref is pointing to an empty old shell of an entity once it's gone 22:49 cmdskp and it's invalid forever after, unless you re-hooked it up yourself haha which is possible and something I planned on needing to do in this sort of case 22:50 cmdskp though might be easier just to get the new entity ref from the lists of entities active 22:51 RealBadAngel Happy New year guys :) (heres only 10 mins left) 22:53 bas080 RealBadAngel: Happy new year 22:53 bas080 RealBadAngel: 10 min here too 22:54 Fixer Yep 22:54 twoelk yay gotta put my boots on to enjoy the non existing snow and dodge all the firecrackers on the street - happy new year all ye merry minetesters 22:54 Fixer my NY was 1 hr ago 22:55 bas080 Fixer: Love it 22:55 Fixer I hope 2016 will be less evil for us all :} 22:55 cmdskp Minetest has no new year, no seasons :'( 22:55 cmdskp every day in Minetest is a new year! ^_^ 22:56 * twoelk notices -dinner for one- has ended and goes outside 23:00 kaadmy happy new year ;) 23:06 Calinou bonne année 23:06 Fixer goes outside in the chat 23:10 Hijiri What's a double fault error? 23:13 sofar double free? 23:14 cmdskp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_fault 23:14 cmdskp Wait until you get a triple fault error! :D 23:14 cmdskp (on x86 chips) 23:14 Fixer double kill! 23:15 Fixer cmdskp, you can install weather mod and add some snow 23:15 nm0i I guess asking about formspecs here would be offtopic... 23:15 cmdskp ah, true, but the old seasons mod sadly doesn't seem compatible 23:15 cmdskp we discussed formspecs earlier... 23:16 * cmdskp googles New Year Monster myths... 23:16 * Fixer plays CDDA, goes nice with a NY mood 23:17 Fixer zombie apocalypse, that's so cute 23:17 Sokomine happy new year for those that already arrived there :-) (and also later on for those who yet have to join us in the new year) 23:17 Fixer East Hemisphere is already arrived imo 23:18 nm0i Oh, cool. Can't find in API docs how to read data from checkbox on_receive_field in register_node . fields.checkbox is always nil. 23:18 cmdskp a Nian is a beast that lives under the sea or in the mountains (sounds perfect for Minetest!), that around the Chinese New Year comes out of hiding to attack people and prefers children :) 23:18 cmdskp I love it already! ;) I must add a Nian mob 23:19 cmdskp It's like a big lion type thing 23:19 cmdskp firecrackers were used to drive it away 23:27 rubenwardy_ nm0i, have you made sure to set the name? 23:27 rubenwardy_ ie, is the name definitely "checkbox" 23:27 nm0i yeah 23:28 rubenwardy_ what happens if you do print(dump(fields)) 23:28 rubenwardy_ Have you checked formname to make sure it is you form? 23:29 nm0i It id not present in dump, buttons and fields are. 23:30 Sokomine cmdskp: we already got the nyan cats. maybe they can attack as well if needed :-) 23:30 rubenwardy Interesting 23:30 cmdskp Have you given the checkbox a name, other than 'checkbox'? checkbox[0.2,4.75;myCheckboxName;Tick me!] 23:31 nm0i "checkbox[0,2.2;private;Private;false]".. 23:31 cmdskp Sokomine: Mmm, I was planning on getting them to move like Tron cycles in the sky...attacking sounds cool from them too. 23:32 cmdskp so, "if fields.private then" should work? 23:32 nm0i Noup 23:32 nm0i :( 23:32 rubenwardy What kind of formspec is it? minetest.show_formspec? 23:32 cmdskp let me try my own code here, I have a checkbox setup, but not tested the result yet from it 23:33 nm0i meta:set_string("formspec","...") 23:33 rubenwardy and then on_receive_field in the node def 23:33 nm0i yes 23:34 nm0i 0.4.13 23:34 Hijiri I'm getting the double fault error when I call punch on an item on the ground 23:34 rubenwardy I've never actually used node formspecs, it's all a little weird. I'd imagine it'd be the same in terms of submission. Never used check boxes either 23:35 nm0i Yeah I haven't seen checkboxes in node formspecs 23:36 rubenwardy Maybe it only submits the state when it toggles? 23:36 rubenwardy and not on button click? 23:36 nm0i Let me check that... 23:36 * cmdskp checking too - once it finished loading media 23:37 nm0i Yes 23:37 nm0i rubenwardy: you right, thank you. 23:37 rubenwardy That should definitely be documented somewhere 23:38 nm0i Seems no =\ 23:39 cmdskp ah, yeah, that explains it - it's treating the checkbox the same as any button really, they all trigger when clicked 23:39 nm0i Hmmmmm.... That makes stuff more complicated 23:40 cmdskp Indeed! I'll need to rethink how I store my checkbox now too 23:43 nm0i So much for "yea another setpos mod" :D 23:43 Thomas-S Bye. Happy New Year! 23:46 Fixer Happy New Year! *opens door with zombies* 23:46 nm0i Complicated meta formspec now seems bad idea... 23:47 * kaadmy pushes a button to expose hidden ropes along the ground 23:47 rubenwardy What's the usecase? 23:47 rubenwardy You could do a simple context thing 23:48 rubenwardy http://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/chapters/formspecs.html#contexts 23:49 nm0i Typing in coordinates for portal mod, check if you want to lock it. 23:49 nm0i Yeah, that seems like it. 23:50 nm0i I'd have to store only 2 fields in meta, then, and it'd survive possible version changes. 23:55 cmdskp use a formspec context table of values for each player? Shown here: http://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/chapters/formspecs.html 23:55 cmdskp that way you can recall the state of a checkbox on submit button later 23:56 Hijiri anyone want to help me test something, and also so I can get a screenshot 23:58 kaadmy Megaf: hum? 23:58 nm0i Thank you rubenwardy, cmdskp ... I can think of couple work-arounds now.
