06:40 YuGiOhJCJ Hello, something strange: in Singleplayer mode, I am able to create a Fence, but in Client mode, I am unable to create one. Something wrong with my server?
06:41 YuGiOhJCJ I am building with wooden planks like here: http://wiki.minetest.net/Fence
06:41 sofar are you connected to your own localhost server, or a server on the internet?
06:41 YuGiOhJCJ well that's my own server but on the internet :p
06:42 sofar I can craft a fence on a localhost server without issues (0.4.14)
06:42 YuGiOhJCJ and my server is on 0.4.13
06:42 YuGiOhJCJ whereas my client is on 0.4.14
06:42 sofar 0.4.13 has a diferent recipe for the fence
06:42 sofar the recipes are of the server version
06:42 YuGiOhJCJ I will check the wiki history
06:43 YuGiOhJCJ maybe I will find the old recipe
06:43 sofar http://wiki.minetest.net/index.php?title=Fence&oldid=8073
06:43 YuGiOhJCJ ahah yeah I see
06:44 YuGiOhJCJ ok it works :)
06:45 YuGiOhJCJ well I will upgrade my server soon so I need to memorize this new recipe
06:55 YuGiOhJCJ I forgot to say it: thank you!

08:17 Megaf Hi VanessaE, hows things? Have you ever used Hydrogen? Any thoughts about it?
08:17 VanessaE things are okay, never used that though
08:27 CWz is hydrogen flammable

08:52 Megaf VanessaE, What software do you use to make music?
08:52 CWz VanessaE is music maker?
08:53 Megaf CWz, according to /whois VanessaE she is
08:53 Megaf or maybe not,
08:54 VanessaE you're talking about my website.
08:54 * Megaf runs
08:54 VanessaE it's not music, it's audio
08:54 * Megaf is boiling under the Irish sun
08:54 VanessaE it was focused around digital audio recording/playback (on C64)
08:54 CWz Ireland has it's own sun?
08:54 VanessaE the name started back in the mid 90's.  kept it ever since.
08:55 CWz Commodore 64!
08:55 VanessaE yeah
08:55 Megaf CWz, yep, but it doesn't show up very often. Maybe once or twice a year
08:55 Megaf xP
08:55 est31 joined #minetest
08:56 Megaf Hey est31, hows things?
08:56 CWz the Commodore 64 had all those Text based adventure games
08:56 est31 hi
08:56 Megaf C64 is so overrated
08:56 VanessaE lots of platforms did.  c64 was well-regarded for its graphics abilities at the time.
08:56 Megaf Acorn FTW!
08:58 Megaf This is a real powerful and revolutionary computer for its time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_Archimedes
08:59 VanessaE that machine came out several years after the C64, it was bound to be better.
09:00 Megaf 82 is the original year of the C64 isn't it?
09:00 CWz then came apple with their computer that looked like lunchbox
09:00 JamesTait joined #minetest
09:01 CWz i remmeber back when in the early 2000s the pcs looked like generic boxes
09:01 CWz those were the days
09:01 VanessaE Megaf: yes, and looks like 1987 for the Archimedes.
09:04 Megaf well, sure the C64 seems superior to things like the Atari 5200.

09:46 Megaf Oo
09:47 Megaf I'm a big fan of ARM and PPC computers, and I'd also like to see some MIPS computers
09:47 Megaf MIPS architecture can be quite powerful
09:47 Megaf and hopefully we will see some RISC V systems in the future for truly powerful and Open Source systems
09:49 sfan5 did somebody say arm

09:57 HornOfLife how do I run a server without being a logged in player?
09:57 sfan5 using the "minetestserver" program
09:58 HornOfLife is that as current as the nightly builds?
09:58 sfan5 it should come with minetest
09:58 sfan5 it's part of minetest not something seperate
09:59 HornOfLife oh
09:59 HornOfLife thanks

10:09 Megaf I'm not sure if my RPi 2 is 64, I don't think so, only the RPi 3 perhaps
10:17 Megaf_ joined #minetest
10:18 sfan5 Megaf: IIRC the rpi 3 couldn't even boot in 64-bit mode because the rpi foundation didn't need it for raspbian
10:18 sfan5 the pi 2 is def. not 64

10:27 Megaf_ sfan5, we are about to get an OpenSource boot loader for it
10:27 Megaf_ so maybe that will help a bit. And maybe I could run vanilla Debian ARM64 on it?

13:16 H-H-H hi guys i use a sub game (Stampys_World and it was fine untill i re did my minetest with latest code from git and it made all my formspec backgrounds look like they were superimposed on each other. I reverted this commit and now everything is fone
13:16 H-H-H https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/31c1fca6fd5e200c4f4b24d7ba62b36a16494ed2
13:16 H-H-H however im not clever enough to figure out if thats the subgame or if its a genuine bug in that commit
13:17 everamzah H-H-H: check this out: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/4081
13:18 everamzah and this: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/4084
13:19 H-H-H ok lol thats what i get for updating my minetest lol ty for the info
13:20 everamzah i thought there was a fix and that it was merged
13:20 everamzah maybe you can post some info/screenshot to the tracker somewhere
13:22 Darcidride joined #minetest
13:23 H-H-H nah i always get laughed at if i try that so i dont bother
13:23 H-H-H i just ask in the respective irc chan
13:23 everamzah i only pointed you to those links in case they're related -- i don't know if they are for sure.
13:24 everamzah but if you had to revert a commit to fix a regression for a mod, then the name of the mod could help.
13:24 everamzah i think they were looking for any mods that broke after that and didn't find any?  except for animated textures perhaps
13:25 everamzah but again i think this may be unrelated, i dunno .. good luck
13:25 H-H-H ive said the name in the question :)
13:25 H-H-H i dont need luck lol i will just leav out that commit :)
13:25 H-H-H ty for your time though :)
13:26 everamzah yes i hope it works out for you.  you're going to leave it on 0.4.14 without that one commit and not update?
13:26 everamzah that doesn't sound so bad
13:40 Megaf Jeija, and what happens when you go to the very centre of it
13:40 xunto Jeija: When there are normall implementation of map loop, I'm gonna use it in my fork. And maybe will send you few pull requests If I have enough time. :D
13:40 xunto Now there is only one problem: Blocks aren't drawn in the end of loop. :D
13:40 xunto Megaf: there is no center! :D
13:41 Megaf because the sphere is just an ilusion

18:55 IhrFussel The homedecor mod says it needs 0.4.14 now...will it still work with 0.4.13-dev compiled 10 days ago?
18:55 cimbakahn joined #minetest
18:56 cimbakahn Hello Everyone!
18:57 red-001 IhrFussel: It should
18:57 red-001 not much has change in the past 10 days
18:58 red-001 changed
18:58 cimbakahn Is there a reason why some of the mods at github read minetest-mod- before the mod name?  Example:  minetest-mod-mesecons
19:01 Jeija cimbakahn, just so that people know it is a mod for minetest. Back when I started mesecons, neither minetest nor mesecons were popular, so it does make a lot of sense to have the game that the mod is for in the name...
19:01 PilzAdam Jeija, you say that as if mesecons would be popular now :-p
19:03 cimbakahn But does minetest-mod- also mean that it's the newest one you can get, and that you automatically get updates for it?

19:10 Tuxedo[Qyou] joined #minetest
19:12 IhrFussel What are mesh used for by the way? Like would the texture also work without mesh?
19:12 electrodude512 joined #minetest
19:13 red-001 no
19:14 red-001 A texture that's made for a mesh wouldn't work for a normal node
19:16 IhrFussel But mesh require lots of memory right? My original idea was to enable the homedecor mod for my server BUT remove any heavy memory contents
19:18 IhrFussel Since my server NEEDS to run okay on phone cause that's one of its target audiences
19:18 red-001 That's not possible
19:18 red-001 I don't think meshes are *that* heavy
19:18 IhrFussel red-001, And if i remove complete items? Like the entire code of a homedecor.register() ?
19:19 red-001 You could
19:19 IhrFussel Then the others should still work?
19:19 red-001 But iirc home decor uses meshnodes for most items
19:19 PilzAdam > But mesh require lots of memory right? <- no
19:19 PilzAdam this assumption is just wrong
19:20 IhrFussel Well i only know i had the compelte homedecor enabled once and the phones lagged everywhere
19:20 PilzAdam lag usually refers to network latency
19:20 red-001 well home decor is known to be quite heavy
19:20 PilzAdam s/low/high/
19:21 PilzAdam you probably mean low FPS?
19:21 IhrFussel PilzAdam, no i don't mean that lag i mean when walking...it should never lag when you walk just when you place something maybe or remove something right?
19:21 IhrFussel Yeah people call that lag too
19:22 PilzAdam lag is not the correct term for that
19:22 PilzAdam anyway, textures are probably a bigger problem than meshes
19:22 IhrFussel Okay then well...so will it help if it remove homedecor.register() functions from the code? Or will it still load all objects?
19:22 IhrFussel If i*
19:23 PilzAdam homedecor is simply not designed with low-end devices in mind
19:23 PilzAdam it's probably best to not have it at all
19:23 IhrFussel I know but the demand for it is high
19:24 IhrFussel And i could also not just take the textures and put them as own node?
19:24 * red-001 is confused
19:25 PilzAdam IhrFussel, I don't understand that
19:25 IhrFussel Like...i take the texture of homedecor and add it to a folder named "morenodes" then i put a init.lua and add a register.node()
19:26 red-001 no
19:26 red-001 that doesn't change anything
19:26 IhrFussel What happens if the mesh is missing? Textures look broken?
19:26 red-001 badly
19:27 PilzAdam meshes really aren't the problem here
19:27 IhrFussel So the textures themselves are bigger than a few KB?
19:28 red-001 If you really want home decor that badly you could just cut down the number of nodes
19:28 PilzAdam the problem is that the GPU needs to load the textures when it renders them
19:28 alket joined #minetest
19:28 PilzAdam if the VRAM is low (which it is on mobile devices) then the GPU needs to load them each time from RAM
19:29 red-001 which is slower then vram
19:29 PilzAdam red-001, from the point of view of the GPU, yes
19:30 PilzAdam IhrFussel, so, what you should care about is actual number of nodes, not the complexity of the meshes they use
19:30 PilzAdam (the complexity of the meshes of course plays a role here, too, but it's not as significant)
19:30 IhrFussel So less nodes in mod = less RAM/GPU/CPU usage?
19:30 PilzAdam yea
19:31 red-001 yes
19:31 PilzAdam and the very idea of the homedecor mod is to add a shitload of nodes
19:31 PilzAdam so it's exactly the wrong mod for you
19:31 IhrFussel I see that...1.1 MB just for the textures
19:31 IhrFussel So it WILL help to remove any unnecessary homedecor.register() definitions
19:32 red-001 yes
19:32 IhrFussel Ok will do that, thanks
19:33 IhrFussel Should i remove the texture of the definition too? Or will it not load it then?
19:33 red-001 no it wouldn't load
19:34 PilzAdam it would load, AFAIK
19:34 PilzAdam everything in the media folders is sent to the client
19:35 IhrFussel So i should remove for each definition texture, model

20:58 Calinou Danek: enable_clouds = false
20:58 Calinou in minetest.conf
20:58 Calinou (or, go to the advanced settings and find the option)
20:58 Danek in 4.14?
20:58 Calinou 0.4.14
20:58 Calinou yes
20:59 Danek ahh perfect thanks ^^
21:05 IhrFussel Does the on_rightclick() function not work in creative? Or are my curtains broken?
21:06 Calinou it works in creative, else you would not be able to open doors
21:07 twoelk curtains sometimes need more room than one thinks - they still are a complete node
