01:29 octacian     what do you guys think about having hardened clay in Minetest Game (default mod)?
01:30 octacian     IK some mods have already done it, but I think it's one of those things that just makes sense to have in the default game.
02:29 shadow       octacian: what is hardened clay?
02:32 octacian     shadow: for example, one of the less-known clay mods: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=8232
02:35 shadow       octacian: okay so aesthetically it adds arbitrarily coloured blocks
02:37 octacian     shadow: essentially. There pretty much just decoration.
02:41 octacian     How do I remove all the files and subdirectories combining minetest.get_dir_list() and os.remove?
03:37 whitephoenix not really a minetest question but I'm trying to require another lua file in my mod and it's not finding it despite being in the same folder
03:38 shadow       maybe "./filename.lua" ?
03:38 shadow       or single quotes
03:38 shadow       I'm not a LUA coder typically
03:38 whitephoenix nope
03:38 shadow       whitephoenix: otherwise you would need to modify the path or place it in a LUA search path
03:38 Volkj        isn't dofile("name.lua") used widely in minetest mods?
03:39 shadow       require is best, else loadfile and dofile
03:41 whitephoenix Volkj, I want to call a function defined in this file
03:41 whitephoenix not run the whole thing
03:41 whitephoenix WAIT A MINUTE
03:41 Volkj        is the function with a local before it?
03:41 whitephoenix oh nvm
03:41 whitephoenix no its not local
03:45 whitephoenix In the minetest error screen it says "no file './file.lua'"
03:49 Volkj        tried both require and dofile, testcase with a couple of files and lua interpreter - former give errors, latter works
03:51 whitephoenix Volkj but still that runs the entire file, its already being ran in init.lua
03:51 Volkj        is the function in the separate file?
03:52 Volkj        give a try to dofile, the worst it can do is a crash
03:53 whitephoenix Setup is init.lua with dofile to all the things, then one file containing a 'mana' system has a function to add mana, which I want to call from a file containing a node
03:54 Volkj        can a function being called by modname.function once it's loaded?
03:55 Volkj        or the colon operator, never tried however
03:56 whitephoenix attempt to index global modename ( a nil value)
03:56 Volkj        modname should have the name of the mod iirc
03:56 whitephoenix yeah doesn't work
03:57 whitephoenix ...holy crap really
03:57 whitephoenix I thought I tried this
03:58 whitephoenix its just function_name(whatever), no mod name or requires needed I guess
03:58 whitephoenix wow I'm dumb
05:53 garywhite    goodnight
08:32 Megaf        Hello
09:22 JamesTait    Good morning all! Happy Monday, and happy Mulligan Day! 😃
09:39 Megaf        Mulligan Day, hm
14:50 whitephoenix whats with abms? I was lead to believe that they activated consistently, but with a chance of 1 (100% right?) and interval of 1, this one goes off like every 40 seconds
14:53 sfan5        there are no guarantees about them being executed in time
14:58 agaran       whitephoenix: also distance from active player matters../whatever block is loaded or not
15:01 whitephoenix hmm alright
15:44 kaeza        Greetings
15:45 red-001      hello kaeza

16:15 red-001      is it morning for anyone?
16:21 agaran       for people 12h away from me..
16:48 whitephoenix wow found the problem with my abm
16:48 whitephoenix misspelled chance

17:46 Fixer        Krock: nice mod btw, very useful
17:46 swift110     hey all
17:46 Krock        hehe, I know. Sadly it's not mine
17:48 swift110     hey krock how are you
17:49 Krock        mhm.. a bit depressed as my pull wasn't accepted (would rewrite like the whole mod)
17:49 Krock        *won't be accepted
17:49 swift110     sorry about that
17:50 Krock        heh, not your fault. How are you btw?
17:50 whitephoenix you could always release a fork
17:52 Krock        whitephoenix, it wouldn't change the situation on the server, that's the problem
17:52 swift110     I am good
17:52 Krock        nice to hear :)
17:55 swift110     thanks
18:05 nowhereman   Hey all
18:05 nowhereman   I just started playing minetest
18:06 nowhereman   I didn't find how to get a solo game like Minecraft, with animals around and ennemies at night
18:06 Calinou      hi, welcome nowhereman
18:06 Calinou      Minetest does have singleplayer but the default game does not offer any mobs yet
18:06 Calinou      you need a mobs mod for this
18:06 Calinou      !mod mobs
18:06 MinetestBot  Calinou: Mobs Redo [mobs] by TenPlus1 - https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=9917
18:06 Calinou      such as this one ^
18:07 nowhereman   I activated adv_spawning and animals
18:07 nowhereman   (and mesecons, BTW)
18:13 swift110     cool
18:13 swift110     I would love to add animals to minetest
18:17 Krock        swift110, there are mob mods
18:18 swift110     ok
18:18 swift110     I wish the game would update automatically
18:19 whitephoenix https://github.com/iownall555/minetest_motd someone from lmr made this, its pretty cool
18:26 Krock        *cough* see minetest setting motd
18:26 Krock        this could simply use minetest.setting_set("motd", "text...")
18:27 Krock        instead of adding a new file

18:46 garywhite    Hi redblade
18:47 redblade     hi
18:49 whitephoenix http://i.imgur.com/QyszP52.png does anyone see a problem with this animated texture? changing the animation parameters don't see to do anything
18:50 jin_xi       it's because you're using vim to make a stallman mod
18:51 whitephoenix I used spacemacs for like... half of it
18:51 Krock        your model does not fit with the texture anway
18:51 Krock        *anyway
18:51 whitephoenix I was look at the default torch and this seems to be what they did
19:07 yusf[m]      whitephoenix: What are you working on…? :)
19:34 whitephoenix yusf[m] its a fire-based magic mod called pyromancy
19:34 whitephoenix not available yet, might go on github soon
19:34 garywhite    Hey guys will trees spawn on their own from a map glitch
19:34 red-001      sounds intersting
19:35 luizrpgluiz  You can make a block that only one player can see it? for example, only the owner of that block can see it
19:35 whitephoenix actually I can put it on github later, when I have time to setup licenses and stuff
19:37 agaran       luizrpgluiz: I think you can't do that..
19:37 agaran       luizrpgluiz: what you -might- do is block that gets visible when certain player gets close.. but visible for everyone..
19:44 yusf[m]      whitephoenix: Sounds exciting! Would like to test when the time comes.
19:46 luizrpgluiz  it seems that the mod tenplus of protected land has a bug where the entity he put not appear
19:47 luizrpgluiz  protector_redo
19:47 luizrpgluiz  1.8
19:49 luizrpgluiz  in older versions appears pink body and black color indicating the space for protected land

20:05 garywhite    Does anyone know if a map with a glitch that causes trees to spawn on empty land without placing saplings can be salvaged, or is it toast
20:18 swift110     hey garywhite
20:19 garywhite    hello
