00:27 swift110 hey all
00:28 rom1504 I should try minetest someday
00:28 rom1504 the day I decide to make a node client for it, I'll do that
00:32 swift110 you can still play it
00:35 nolsen joined #minetest
00:37 rom1504 I can

04:01 VanessaE nolsen: re new_flow_logic, I couldn't tell you, no one else seems to like that branch, and no one's stepped up to "fix" it.
04:01 VanessaE so I kinda gave up on it.
04:02 nolsen So will new features like logic will be implemented in the master branch?
04:02 nolsen The features that already work espesially.
04:03 VanessaE I don't know.
04:05 VanessaE I'm not active in mod development right now, won't be for a long while.  nore, t4im, and est31 are the other main contributors and they're not active on that mod either, so it's basically dormant.
04:05 VanessaE (I don't want to call it "dead" but it's pretty close to that)

14:11 srifqi joined #minetest
14:12 srifqi Okay, I was compiling it wrong: I build both Minetest and Minetestserver. So, it takes longer.
14:13 srifqi I have tried to compile lastest from my fork I have merged from minetest repo today. It tooks about 45~50 minutes on Windows 7 32-bit.
14:29 ElectronLibre joined #minetest
14:35 RealBadAngel srifqi, what box do you have so it takes so long?
14:35 srifqi Uh, what box?
14:36 RealBadAngel computer
14:36 STHGOM joined #minetest
14:36 RealBadAngel are u compiling it on microwave owen or what? :)
14:37 srifqi mini-microwave with low voltage
14:37 srifqi With computer, of course
14:38 RealBadAngel asking because for me its like ~2 minutes
14:38 srifqi ...
14:38 RealBadAngel and i do have rather low-end machine
14:39 srifqi how's the spec?
14:40 RealBadAngel Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G3240 @ 3.10GHz
14:41 srifqi Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N280 @ 1.66GHz, 1667 Mhz, 1 Core, 2 Logical Processors
14:41 srifqi Okay, yours faster
14:41 srifqi RAM?
14:42 srifqi Uh, seems like RAM doesn't have any effect
14:42 RealBadAngel atom, ouch
14:42 RealBadAngel now i do know why ;)
14:42 srifqi ...
14:43 RealBadAngel get something like mine, its less than $100 for such CPU with mainboard
14:43 srifqi *convertingintoIDR
14:44 srifqi (about Rp1.343.000,00)
14:44 srifqi Are you sure there is CPU lower than it?
14:45 srifqi *lower price
14:47 srifqi Is OS also has effect?
14:47 RealBadAngel when i was buying it about one 1 yr ago it was the most cheap one in this class
14:48 srifqi :O
14:48 RealBadAngel maybe they have other models now
14:49 srifqi Is OS also has effect on compiling? (2)
14:49 RealBadAngel not sure, never tried to compile anything on windows
14:49 RealBadAngel i dont have windows even
14:51 RealBadAngel but reading sometimes posts folks trying to compile there anything it seems to be a pain in the ass
14:52 Taoki[mobile]_1 joined #minetest
14:53 srifqi When I read the log of travis-ci, it only tooks 5~7 minutes to be done (including downloading libs). It is fast.
14:53 srifqi *log of Minetest in travis-ci
14:53 RealBadAngel grab some live-cd and try
14:54 srifqi I'm already downloaded ubuntu-14.10.iso, I have tried it live, but not compiling.
14:54 RealBadAngel you dont have to install linux to try it
14:55 RealBadAngel idk if it will be faster, but definitely easier
14:55 RealBadAngel even building windows binaries on linux is easy
14:56 RealBadAngel some folks even using linux in virual machine on windows to compile minetest
14:56 srifqi Of course, easier. I've read some sources about compiling Minetest in Linux and it was easy. Even somebody has created single-line install script to compile Minetest.
14:56 srifqi They did? :O

15:37 rubenwardy_ joined #minetest
15:38 sofar DatJohnDoe: you need to use pointed_thing.under, which is a pos, not node
15:38 DatJohnDoe I need to know if they are punching a certain node
15:38 Tristit1a joined #minetest
15:38 sofar so minetest.get_node(pointed_thing.under).name
15:38 DatJohnDoe I mean placing on top of a certain node
15:40 DatJohnDoe It worked :D, what about making a mob that can't move or jump?
15:42 Cryterion_ joined #minetest
15:43 DatJohnDoe Or just an entity
15:43 sofar if you don't move the mob, it's not gonna move
15:43 DatJohnDoe It jumps to move
15:44 DatJohnDoe I have walk_velocity and run_velocity set to 0 but they still move
15:45 DatJohnDoe i set them to negative and now they just move backwards hehe

19:11 Hijiri what's the most flexible mobs framework that's reasonably well-developed?
19:12 Hijiri also with frameworks with ABM-based spawning, does ABM catch up result in buildup of lots of mobs?
19:12 Calinou Hijiri, usually ABMs used for mob spawning are not stupid, they check for the current number of mobs in the area, and don't spawn if there already are a lot
19:14 Hijiri Calinou: I see, thanks
19:21 Fixer "How to Disable Ads on Your Windows 10 Lock Screen"
19:21 Fixer pfff, now this bullshit
19:24 CWz what windows 10 is ad supported
19:25 CWz ?
19:32 STHGOM how do i use on_step for entities? i want to make a timer
19:32 sofar on_step is executed every server step
19:33 sofar if you just want it to do something once in a while, use minetest.after()
19:39 STHGOM ah, ok. i though there was something like minetest.after somewhere
19:44 STHGOM how do you keep track of a specific entity after you've added it?
19:47 sofar keep a reference in a list
19:50 player_ joined #minetest
19:51 grimelle joined #minetest
19:51 player_ left #minetest
19:54 Hijiri STHGOM: also note that things in a minetest.after() aren't persisted, so if your server shuts down you will lose the timer
19:55 Hijiri so you will have to account for that somehow
19:56 sofar which is why using the entity on_step is nice and easy
19:56 gamemanj might be easier to use on_step and have a time_until_whatever property :)
19:56 sofar you could just use that and make it not do anything for 20 steps
19:57 STHGOM hmm
19:57 gamemanj sofar: uh, "20 steps"? dtime, anyone?
19:57 sofar whatever floats your boat.
19:57 sofar get_us_time()
19:59 gamemanj actually, I'm pretty sure entity on_step gets a delta... do correct me if I'm wrong
20:00 Hijiri it does
20:00 gamemanj I guess "steps" allow a consistent synchronization because they're integers, though
20:00 gamemanj so if this is for something like mesecons where someone building a CPU or something might want that kind of precise control
20:01 gamemanj then assuming steps are a consistent unit, use steps
20:01 sofar well dtime is more accurate
20:01 sofar if the server gets a lagspike, dtime would account for it
20:01 sofar if you don't care for accuracy, using a ttl or something like that (decreasing integer counter) is nice
20:01 sofar since it won't penalize the server when it lags
20:02 Hijiri with dtime if you were doing a CPU you could still get the number of whole seconds and save the remainder
20:02 Hijiri or whole ticks
20:02 sofar and dtime calculations will hit the server when it lags
20:02 gamemanj Hijiri: Yeah, but if you were building a CPU, in minetest, out of blocks, if enough of a lagspike hits you might miss part of a cycle
20:02 gamemanj then things break
20:02 gamemanj hence: Steps for stuff where timing precision is not needed, but synchronization precision is imperative
20:03 Hijiri ok, I see
20:03 gamemanj while dtime is for when timing precision is needed, but might theoretically not synchronize
20:03 gamemanj or might jump about,
20:03 Yst joined #minetest
20:04 gamemanj always remaining accurate to real-time but leading to jumps about because of lagspikes / someone using an evil ABM / comet impact
20:04 STHGOM can someone show me how to use it to remove an entity after a certain time?
20:05 Hijiri STHGOM: give your entity a "time_left" variable or something similar, set to whatever lifetime your entity has, and then in its on_step, reduce the time_left by the dtime. If it gets below 0, remove the entity
20:06 Hijiri something like on_step = function(self, dtime) self.time_left = self.time_left - dtime if self.time_left <= 0 then self.obj:remove() end end
20:06 Hijiri and then in your entity definition you would have time_left = 42 -- Or however long your entity should live
20:07 Robert_Zenz joined #minetest
20:13 DatJohnDoe joined #minetest
20:13 DatJohnDoe Is it possible to make a mob smaller? Like visual_size?
20:17 DatJohnDoe That was exactly it actually just do visual_size = {x = .5, y =.5}
20:17 DatJohnDoe Bhe
20:17 STHGOM attempt to index "obj" (a nil value)
20:18 Hijiri Maybe it was object
20:18 Hijiri try it with self.object instead
20:19 Hijiri actually yeah, lua api doc says it's self.object
20:19 STHGOM yup
20:19 STHGOM k
20:19 STHGOM thanks a lot :D
20:42 STHGOM hmm, I also tried to add an "age" variable, but the "=" in "self.age = self.age + dtime," is unexpected. why?
20:42 Hijiri STHGOM: could you post the surrounding code
20:42 Hijiri on lpaste.net or similar paste site

20:43 gamemanj , is not used as a line separator
20:43 gamemanj you just use , to separate the outer table fields,
20:44 gamemanj not for within the function
20:44 gamemanj so lines 5 and 6 should have the "," removed :)
20:44 STHGOM ok
