11:02 jin_xi    so i just tried an tetris mod again, and it seems to me node timers have improved a lot, so thats great
11:03 jin_xi    but i wonder what is the smallest interval possible, does it still allow for <1s steps?
11:04 PilzAdam  jin_xi, theres a minetest.conf setting for that, I think
11:04 PilzAdam  nodetimer_interval
11:08 jin_xi    well i'm not sure this is working? it seems to me its always the same ~1s interval
11:09 jin_xi    or do i need to set more config, server step or such?
11:25 Calinou_  server step is 0.1 by default, should be fast enough
11:25 Calinou_  you can try 0.05 at the cost of more CPU usage
11:25 Calinou_  (this is what we use on the CTF server)
11:45 petuniass Hi guys, I saw that the 'video_driver' setting has an option 'null'. Is this supposed to make a headless client?
11:58 PilzAdam  petunias, no
11:59 petunias  Okay. Does such an option currently exist?
11:59 PilzAdam  why would a headless client be useful for you?
12:00 PilzAdam  it doesn't make much sense to me
12:00 petunias  I want to connect a bunch of clients to perform some scalability tests.
12:00 Preuk     IRC client maybe ?
12:01 PilzAdam  Preuk, there is an IRC mod
12:01 PilzAdam  petunias, you could start a bunch of instances with --random-input, but they are not headless
12:02 Preuk     yes, that's my point but i hadn't seen it was about stress testing the server
12:02 petunias  It's not a requirement per se. But it would be convenient. I'll look into the --random-input option.
12:03 PilzAdam  petunias, IIRC proller or xyz (can't remember who exactly) once had a test server with a bunch of bots running around; maybe ask them about it?
12:14 petunias  PilzAdam, I'll ask them about it. Thanks!
12:30 Krock     I believe it was xyz
12:53 petunias  Krock, yeah I found his freeminer forum post where he connects many bots to a server.
14:19 hoodedice > mfw I get emailed for a comment on a PR that I commented on
14:19 hoodedice > mfw that *issue was from a year aho
14:19 hoodedice *ago
14:19 hoodedice > mfw I don't even remember the issue
14:20 hoodedice > mfw I can't type
14:20 Calinou   hi hoodedice
14:20 hoodedice ohayo gozaimasu
14:21 hoodedice kaif halak?
14:23 hoodedice Calinou, Amazon Launchpad is 40gb
14:23 hoodedice Visual Studio 2015 community is 40gb
14:23 hoodedice Amazon Launchpad is Visual Studio confirmed.
14:23 Calinou   maybe it hides Half-Life 3 inside, that's why it's so big in size
14:24 hoodedice > implying hl3 is made with Amazon Launchpad
14:24 hoodedice *shudder*
14:34 cimbakahn Does anyone know the person who is in charge of this server ----> 204.106.248.97:30000
14:35 cimbakahn If so, can you please ask them to restart the server?
15:10 Fixer     windows 7 updates is killing my notebook, even after installing the fix it is uses 50% of cpu for like 10 minutes trying to find updates
15:12 Krock     install an update fixer. It will delete windows 7 from your harddisk
15:12 Krock     or just disable the update service
15:12 Krock     and install the stuff manually with a complete pack
15:12 Fixer     if will not stop in 30 min, i will stop that crap forever, not exactly my note anyway %)
15:13 PilzAdam  -> #linux
15:13 Fixer     sure
15:13 Fixer     some day
15:13 Fixer     very long win user and gamer, thats why to hard to switch
15:14 Fixer     too*
15:14 PilzAdam  you can dualboot
15:14 PilzAdam  win for games; everything else works perfectly fine on Linux
15:14 PilzAdam  and steam is already available on Linux, with thousands of games ported to it
15:15 Krock     two OS, two problem sources
15:16 Fixer     dualboot is not ideal
15:16 Fixer     right
15:16 Fixer     if move, move compleately
15:16 PilzAdam  Krock, wat
15:17 Krock     PilzAdam, his problems with windoze won't disappear by doing a dualboot
15:17 PilzAdam  it gives a feeling of security if you still have your old system as a backup
15:18 PilzAdam  there is really no need to purge a win installation when trying out Linux
15:18 PilzAdam  if you tell people that they need to get rid of it, then you increase the burden of entry unnecessarily
15:24 serp      I have installed minetest client on a raspberry pi3 with ubuntu mate on it.  The performance is very bad... is this expected or are there things i can do to make the performance better?
15:24 Krock     what do you call "bad"? 50 fps?
15:24 Calinou   <PilzAdam> and steam is already available on Linux, with thousands of games ported to it
15:24 Calinou   most remain "indie platformers" though :|
15:24 serp      maybe 1 fps :)
15:25 Krock     oh yes, that's bad
15:25 serp      30fps would be great for this purpose i would expect
15:25 Krock     what does irrlicht say? What's the OpenGL it shows?
15:25 PilzAdam  Calinou, dunno, I don't use steam
15:25 Calinou   me neither
15:25 Calinou   me NETHER, would say a Minecraft player
15:25 Calinou   or a Minetest player with nether mod :)
15:26 Krock     What would a Minecraft gamer never say?
15:26 PilzAdam  whats a nether gamer?
15:27 PilzAdam  serp, I heard about some people running a server only on a rpi
15:27 serp      the server is not the issue
15:27 Krock     a server doesn't need the graphics card at all
15:27 PilzAdam  but the client will probably not run very good on it
15:27 PilzAdam  maybe get an Odroid?
15:27 serp      well replacing it is also not the issue.. i was just going to see if not replacing it is possible
15:28 serp      i am not at it atm .. i will check the opengl settings
15:28 serp      i just wanted to see if people do it and it's a thing
15:33 Calinou   serp, what's the view distance? try decreasing it to the minimum.
15:33 Calinou   also, disable clouds (enable_clouds = false in minetest.conf or use Advanced settings)
15:34 serp      Calinou: i will try these things but i suspect i don't have opengl on it so i will work on that next
15:35 serp      i have set up a server on a vps.. my hope was to set up some rpi3's for my daughter and her friends to play on it
15:35 * Calinou is on OpenArena, 19 players on CTF server
15:35 Calinou   come play :) http://openarena.ws/smfnews.php
15:35 serp      it looks like ubuntu mate 14.04 opengl is not on by default and buggy when it is.. but 16.04 has it on by default
15:36 Calinou   try installing the package "mesa-utils" then type "glxinfo | grep direct"
15:36 Calinou   also try running "glxgears" and see your frame rate there
15:37 serp      yes i will... i will probably just clone some sd cards with ubuntu mate 16.04 on it to start though
15:38 Markow    I find that disabling shaders increases FPS most.
15:39 Markow    When doing that, you can even spare to increase viewing distance.
15:41 Markow    Could anyone please tell me what mod(s) and texture pack(s) this example of MT on Youtube is using? Thanks.
15:41 Markow    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg201csPfnc&feature=youtu.be&a
15:43 Calinou   the voice feels like I'm playing on a Russian CS:GO server
15:44 Calinou   it's Doku, I think?
15:44 Markow    They are German, for sure ;)
15:45 Markow    How did they get sound when walking in water? I don't have that on my vanilla dev compilation.
15:46 Calinou   it's a mod
15:46 Calinou   a laggy one for sure, it's probably Ambience
15:47 Markow    Then I'll not install it, the water sound isn't a priority
15:48 Markow    So that texture is probably Doku, right?
15:49 Calinou   yes, I think
15:49 Calinou   DokuCraft or something like that
15:52 Markow    Thanks. Is there another one similar, even better?
15:52 Calinou   SummerFields maybe
15:53 Markow    This same guy posts some good videos on Twitter, and frequently
15:56 Markow    I'll eventually learn to speak German, lol ;)
16:13 Fixer     ah, that nice after-rain feel
16:14 Fixer     everything green
16:17 Krock     Fixer, watch at the rivers. everything brown
16:18 Fixer     Krock, my rivers are too slow, either gray-mud-water or very clean above sandstone
16:18 Krock     oh nice. The river here must be completely brown
16:19 Fixer     it is very slow and not big river, because climat is very hot and with too few water
16:39 Fixer     so 30 min later win update service was still eating 50% cpu, long live windows update
16:42 Krock     pressing the power button for >= 5s will do it
16:44 Krock     is it just me or was 0.4.7 much slower in loading the media stuff?
16:44 Krock     testing blocklife..
16:45 Krock     ah. It doesn't use LuaJIT, mapgen is much slower

23:22 cimbakahn Can someone please put some pictures up on this page ----> https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=2372  Pretty please!
