00:30 AntumDeluge   Calinou, lol. I am no magician. ;)
00:31 AntumDeluge   So, I'm sure it would be too difficult for me. Still, I may give it a stab.
01:57 AntumDeluge   Is there a way to set categories in 'settingtypes.txt'?
01:58 AntumDeluge   Would be nice if the client scanned all mods for nested 'settingtypes.txt' files & automatically organized contents under mod names.
01:58 bigfoot547    What do you mean "categories"?
01:59 bigfoot547    AntumDeluge
02:00 AntumDeluge   So, with my 'game', I have added a 'settingtypes.txt' file. My game is labeled 'Antum'. In the client's advanced settings, all options are listed under 'Games -> Antum'.
02:00 bigfoot547    And you don't want them there?
02:00 AntumDeluge   Would be nice to add nested groups like 'Games -> Antum -> Mod1', 'Games -> Antum -> Mod2', etc.
02:01 bigfoot547    Hmmm. I don't really know anything about settings. Sorry :(
02:01 AntumDeluge   No problem bigfoot547.
02:04 AntumDeluge   Oooh, I think I found the answer: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/builtin/settingtypes.txt#L48
02:06 AntumDeluge   Yep, that is exactly what I wanted. I just add a line with the section name enclosed in square brackets []
02:06 bigfoot547    Good :)
03:30 H-H-H         nice ty for that info
07:19 AntumDeluge   Thank you bigfoot547: https://github.com/AntumDeluge/mtmod-sneeker/commit/d336800
07:41 habeangur     Hi, I can not download minetest for win32 from minetest.net, any mirror?
07:57 zahran        hi everyone
07:59 Calinou       habeangur: 64-bit or 32-bit? stable or daily?
07:59 Calinou       try getting a build from here, https://minetest.kitsunemimi.pw/builds/
08:00 Calinou       these are daily builds but you can also find a stable one on that page
08:00 Calinou       the first one is the latest 64-bit daily build
08:23 red-002       habeangur, if you are looking for a stable build you can download it from github
08:24 Calinou       red-002: that won't contain binaries
08:24 Calinou       the Minetest team doesn't create official daily binaries
08:25 DI3HARD139    @habeangur https://github.com/minetest/minetest/releases/download/0.4.15/minetest-0.4.15-win32.zip
08:25 red-002       Calinou, https://github.com/minetest/minetest/releases
08:26 IhrFussel     Why was I only given temp voice in minetest-hub?
08:26 red-002       not all OP's have access to chanserv
08:27 Calinou       that's stable releases, not daily builds
08:27 Calinou       but well, it can be enough for OP
08:27 Calinou       daily builds do contain quite a bit of improvements, that's all :)
08:28 IhrFussel     red-002, I barely know anything about IRC so sorry if I sound ignorant...I actually thought all OPs would have the same rights
08:29 red-002       well in theory they do, but access to chanserv commands is a separate thing
08:30 red-002       you can be a non-op and have access to those and vice versa
08:30 IhrFussel     I see then
08:33 IhrFussel     red-002, no biggie, I'll just wait until one of them is available :)
08:59 habeangur     Calinou: red-002, thanks, i downloaded it somehow, but for later, thanks
08:59 habeangur     red-002: problem was with github link
10:16 habeangur     any RSS for news about minetest?
10:19 Calinou       habeangur: not that I know of, but you can follow development on Github
10:19 Calinou       and forums
11:51 habeangur     Calinou: ok
13:30 IhrFussel     Why doesn't Minetest have a "reg date" timestamp in auth file? Every major service with accounts can tell when user X created their account
13:32 IhrFussel     Should've been one of the first things the devs implemented
13:32 * red-003     has no idea
13:32 red-003       well it's being replaced with a database soon so many that could also be fixed
13:32 red-003       maybe*
13:36 IhrFussel     Yes please write that down somewhere...it's really important to be able to see how old account X is
13:36 Fixer         IhrFussel: there is /last-login feature available
13:36 IhrFussel     I'm talking about account CREATION date
13:37 IhrFussel     A timestamp that will never change...it gets generated ONCE when the player is new
13:37 Fixer         IhrFussel: it is possible but what are the uses?
13:37 IhrFussel     It's simply standard
13:38 Fixer         IhrFussel: why do you need that feature, what it does?
13:38 Fixer         apart from knowing date of player registration :)
13:39 Fixer         IhrFussel: create a feature request on github
13:39 IhrFussel     It let's the server owners know how "old" a player is, it could make alt detection easier
13:39 Fixer         IhrFussel: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/new
13:40 IhrFussel     Fixer, I know where to file issues, but I also know that there is a feature freeze right now and I don't want to overwhelm devs with yet another feature that "came too late"
13:41 Fixer         IhrFussel: it will not be accepted into 0.4.16 anyway, so file it anyway
13:41 Fixer         IhrFussel: so it will be considered for next releases
13:42 IhrFussel     Of course it won't be coded until 0.4.16 but if I file it now it has the chance of falling off the radar since devs are busy with bugfixes now
13:58 IhrFussel     Sometimes the server list makes no sense..my server is #1 right now although it has 20+ less players than the one in 7th place
14:00 IhrFussel     I'm guessing the player count (average/total/max) isn't a big factor in the calculation otherwise how can that be?
14:06 IhrFussel     Now my server just dropped 10 places WITHOUT losing any players...
14:07 IhrFussel     What kind of randomness is that?
14:07 red-003       did other servers gain players>
14:07 red-003       https://github.com/minetest/master-server/blob/master/server.py#L295
14:08 red-003       apprently having more then 16 players is a bad thing
14:10 IhrFussel     Well...that would explain why some very full servers aren't at the top all the time at least... AFAIK my server had 17 players when it was #1 and now it has 24
14:12 rubenwardy    IhrFussel, https://gist.github.com/rubenwardy/6d6882db0cbe1b5b24be
14:13 Wuzzy         Do I have to set the size attribute explicitly when I do hud_add of type "statbar"?
14:14 Wuzzy         One user is reporting this warning for my mod: "2017-05-28 22:51:24: WARNING[Server]: Deprecated usage of statbar without size!", but I cannot reproduce it
14:14 Wuzzy         and lua_api.txt suggests that size is optional... o_O
14:20 IhrFussel     rubenwardy, there are servers with lower points below mine
14:20 IhrFussel     I mean above*
14:26 IhrFussel     My server got 27.2 points and there are others above mine with < 20 points... that makes no sense to me
14:33 IhrFussel     The serverlist script gives me a list of (seemingly) RANDOM positions...seriously... JT2 is at 16th place with 28 points while MinetestForFun SKYBLOCK is at 9th place with 18 points
14:34 rubenwardy    it's possible the algorithm has since changed
14:37 IhrFussel     rubenwardy, but the order is 100% identical with the list on servers.minetest.net
14:41 VanessaE      well fix it then :)
14:41 VanessaE      (as long as it doesn't make my servers fall any lower :P )
14:42 pilino1234    Since webchat is banned from #-dev (why even??), I'll post this here:
14:42 VanessaE      not banned, just muted
14:42 pilino1234    Regarding #5834 (one of the last remaining blocker issues): I've added my observations to the issue, but I'm added my observations to the issue, but I'm not too accustomed to the mainmenu labyrinth to find where it's going wrong...
14:42 pilino1234    meh, copypaste fail
14:42 VanessaE      because webchat users tend - as a general rule - not to contribute effectively in that channel.
14:42 VanessaE      use a real IRC client
14:43 pilino1234    VanessaE: ah, I guess that makes sense. Sucks tho, since I can't use IRC clients behind this firewall, so I rely on webchat :/
14:43 VanessaE      if you can use webchat, you can use a real IRC client too :P
14:44 pilino1234    Apparently not, kiwiirc doesn't need to me to unblock IRC ports, while Konversation doesn't work and spams the router logs
14:44 VanessaE      (or you could pipe it through a cheap VPN, or use a bouncer like I do)
14:44 VanessaE      well then fix your stupid firewall :P
14:44 VanessaE      unblock 6667 and 6697. problem solved.
14:44 pilino1234    It's not mine though :P
14:44 VanessaE      so tell the person who maintains it that he's a fucking moron :)
14:45 pilino1234    been there, done that, IRC remains blocked because muh malware
14:45 VanessaE      find a new host then
14:45 pilino1234    Nah, it's just home network
14:45 pilino1234    I'd have to move house :/
14:45 VanessaE      well if it's your home network, who maintains it then?
14:46 pilino1234    But could anyone relay my initial message to #-dev please?
14:46 VanessaE      go make an appropriate comment on the github issue.  that's a better idea anyway
14:46 pilino1234    Already done, but I wanna push the issue a bit since that accelerates progress (in my observations) :P
14:47 red-003       wait does your ISP block IRC or something?
14:47 VanessaE      you'll just have to figure a way around your busted-ass firewall ;)
14:47 pilino1234    Yeah, webchat ;P
14:48 pilino1234    It works in most places, except mt-dev channel. I guess I'll just live with that for now
14:48 red-003       there are ways to make quites not apply on an account right?
17:03 IhrFussel     The server list MUST be broken!! My server is at place 26 with over 20 online
17:04 IhrFussel     That cannot possibly be
17:04 red-002       sfan5 ^ ?
17:04 red-002       ShadowNinja
17:05 DS-minetest   this sort of brokenence is normal
17:05 IhrFussel     My server got almost 28 points vs 13/14/15 above me
17:06 * DS-minetest doesn't know, for what criterion they are sorted
17:06 IhrFussel     Why do we even use that point system if it isn't ultimately the order listed
17:08 IhrFussel     I'm using the script rubenwardy provided https://gist.github.com/rubenwardy/6d6882db0cbe1b5b24be
17:09 IhrFussel     The servers jump wayy too much...now mine jumped to 11th place in an instant.. 26 => 11
17:10 IhrFussel     *without* winning many more players, still ~ 20
17:10 sfan5         its at the top now
17:10 sfan5         i dont see a problem
17:11 IhrFussel     sfan5, why isn't the order on servers.minetest.net sorted by points?
17:11 sfan5         it is
17:11 sfan5         rubenwardies script is outdated
17:11 IhrFussel     Ok then can someone provide me a version that works?
17:12 sfan5         just ask ruben to update his
17:14 Krock         oh. apparently we have multiple rubenwardys
17:14 IhrFussel     sfan5, but the order is correct in the script...it's just the amount of points that's wrong correct?
17:14 sfan5         yes
17:15 IhrFussel     Then I still wonder how my server jumped from 26 to 11 to 1 without player count change
17:16 Yruama_Lairba hello, i have question about using minetest api for modding
17:16 Krock         don't ask to ask
17:16 red-002       ^
17:16 rubenwardy    cba
17:16 rubenwardy    it's literally a c+p of the server code, with some hooks
17:17 Yruama_Lairba when i try to modifie a player atribute, i have the error userdata expected, got a table
17:17 Yruama_Lairba for exemple when i use set_physics
17:17 Yruama_Lairba *set_physics_override
17:18 red-002       use player:set_physics_override not player.set_physics_override
17:19 Yruama_Lairba same when i want to use setpos() or moveto()
17:19 Yruama_Lairba red-002: can you explain why ?
17:19 Krock         player:func(arg)  is basically  player.func(player, arg)
17:19 red-002       ^
17:19 Krock         without `:` Lua does not know where you are calling this function from
17:20 Yruama_Lairba wow, it seems i miss something about lua
17:20 Krock         it makes Lua somehow object oriented
17:20 sfan5         IhrFussel: guest players
17:20 DS-minetest   or players that r joining on the moment
17:20 Krock         you could also use player.func(player, arg) but that's more typing and uncommon
17:21 Krock         even trolling theose who read the code:  player1.func(player2, arg)  // untested
17:21 kaeza         Yruama_Lairba, https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#2.5.8
17:21 Krock         RTFM ^  :P
17:22 sfan5         Krock: that'd work
17:23 kaeza         The form "functioncall ::= prefixexp `:´ Name args" can be used to call "methods". A call v:name(args) is syntactic sugar for v.name(v,args), except that v is evaluated only once.
17:23 Yruama_Lairba sorry, for me it's illogical i was using player.setpos(pos) to change the pos of the a player
17:24 Krock         that's how you would do it in other languages BUT Lua :P
17:26 Yruama_Lairba ouch, i don't understand the manual about function calls
17:27 IhrFussel     if server["clients"] > 16: points -= server["clients"] - 16 <<< does this mean if there are 17 clients it will count as 1?
17:27 Krock         yes
17:28 Calinou       the server list rating algorithm is public by the way
17:28 Calinou       https://github.com/minetest/master-server/blob/master/server.py
17:28 Calinou       (should be PEP8'd or something one day by the way :P)
17:28 IhrFussel     Calinou, I am looking at it right now that's why I asked about the condition
17:28 Calinou       (I was working on that, but lost it)
17:29 IhrFussel     So having 16 clients on is better than having between 17-31? That is SO weird
17:30 IhrFussel     I mean I understand it cause of player distribution...but still that's a rather major penalty
17:30 Calinou       I wish the server list was sortable in the client :P
17:31 Calinou       our server list could be improved a lot, honestly
17:31 Calinou       both the web display and client display
17:31 Yruama_Lairba ok, in think i understood where i was wrong
17:33 Calinou       https://github.com/minetest/master-server/blob/master/server.py#L323-L325
17:33 Calinou       that hurts :)
17:33 Yruama_Lairba "a.b()" is a call to b function inside the a namespace
17:33 Yruama_Lairba and "a:b()" is a call to the b method of the object a
17:35 Krock         that sounds quite confusing. simplified, "a.b()" calls a function that happens to be called "b" in the table or userobject "a"
17:35 IhrFussel     Calinou, I saw a server that set it to 127 cause of that
17:35 Krock         "a:b()" is the same but ships the source table/userobject with it (as argument 1)
17:36 AlexYst       Both call the function that exist in the table's name space. However, with the colon-based method call, the table itself is passed as the first argument to the method.
17:36 AlexYst       Oops, I was too slow.
17:36 AlexYst       Listen to Krock.
17:36 Calinou       IhrFussel: no Minetest server can realistically host > 50-60 clients without lag anyway
17:36 Calinou       (even vanilla minetest_game)
17:36 Calinou       and even then…
17:37 Krock         LISTEN TO ME. ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
17:37 Krock         Calinou, Freeminer can.  /s

20:08 bigfoot547    Hello!
21:22 red-002       hi bigfoot547
21:26 bigfoot547    red-002: If you type /giveme default:apple -1 you will get 65535, the 16 bit integer limit!
21:27 red-002       a well known "bug"
21:29 MinetestBot   02[git] 04stujones11 -> 03minetest/minetest: Don't add damage flash while punch texture modifier is active (#5767) 131681a00 https://git.io/vHWGj (152017-05-29T21:26:25Z)
21:29 bigfoot547    I set gametime to 4294967296, the u32 limit, and I thought something exciting would happen. Nothing did.
21:37 Fixer         feature!
21:39 bigfoot547    is there a reason that wool is a late-game item?
21:45 kaeza         uh, late-game?
21:45 kaeza         it's a starting item depending on your luck
21:45 bigfoot547    How so?
21:46 kaeza         jungle grass -> cotton seeds -> string (or w/e) -> wool
21:46 kaeza         or did that change?
21:46 bigfoot547    No, that is the same.
21:47 bigfoot547    But, it requires a long wait in order to get 4 cotton to make 1 wool block.
21:47 kaeza         if you're lucky and spawn near a jungle, you can get wool almost right away
21:47 Fixer         bigfoot547: late game item? o_0
21:48 bigfoot547    srsly, It has been 5 minutes and no string to show for it.
21:48 bigfoot547    Maybe not late-game, but not quite a starting item to be sure.
21:48 kaeza         well, on a world I had, cacti was a luxury item
21:49 kaeza         I had to travel like 5000 nodes out from spawn just to find a desert
21:49 kaeza         not that cacti are particularly useful, mind you
21:50 redblade7     if you use mobs on your server you can shear wool off sheep, a lot easier
21:51 bigfoot547    With seed 3760921819958453477, you spawn in a jungle, but still no wool after gametime = 3000.
21:51 bigfoot547    Now I was playing with my sister and had an asynch crash in there, but still.
22:06 bigfoot547    How does one get on #minetest-project and what is is about?
22:06 red-002       bigfoot547, it was replaced by -hub
22:07 bigfoot547    Oh. What is -hub about?
22:08 red-002       basicly -dev lite
22:08 red-002       for server owners, modders, and other contributers
22:08 bigfoot547    Oh. Thanks. What about -delta?
22:08 bigfoot547    I remember minetest delta is a fork, right?
22:09 kaeza         -delta is dead since like forever
22:09 Fixer         kaeza: just bring some desert with you and grow cacti ;)
22:09 kaeza         it redirects here
22:09 red-002       old fork that got merged back into master

22:44 red-002       everyone can speak here unless they are muted or banned
22:45 bigfoot547    Oh. That makes sense.
22:45 red-002       just send a message to an op that seems to be online to get voice
22:47 red-002       you will need to register with NickServ if you want to get voice automaticly
22:48 bigfoot547    red-002 are you the same person as red-001 and red-backup? or am I nuts?
22:48 red-002       yeah I am
22:48 red-002       red-backup is a backup connection
22:49 red-002       I'm called red-002 because thats what I still have hexchat on windows set to reset my nick to
22:50 bigfoot547    Oh
22:51 bigfoot547    Oh no. I just accidentally selected everyone in the sidebar and clicked whois. Make it stop!
22:52 red-002       oh
22:52 red-002       well it can't be helped
22:52 bigfoot547    Ha! It stopped!
22:54 red-002       bigfoot547, /ns register

22:55 Yruama_Lairba hello have question (again)!
22:56 Yruama_Lairba is there a way to do attraction or repulsion effect with a player ? for example to do a bloc that attract player to it
22:56 red-002       bigfoot547, stops spammers
22:57 red-002       some spammers*
22:58 bigfoot547    :( I don't want to send out my email.
22:58 rubenwardy    it's private
22:58 rubenwardy    it's not sent into the chat
22:58 rubenwardy    only to Freenode
22:59 bigfoot547    They better not sell it...
22:59 bigfoot547    Could I un-register if need be?
23:00 rubenwardy    lol
23:00 rubenwardy    they're not going to sell it
23:01 rubenwardy    and btw: my email is publicly listed on the internet, and I don't get any spam
23:01 rubenwardy    well, virtually none
23:01 rubenwardy    about 1 or 2 a week, which goes into my spam folder
23:02 bigfoot547    Ok, registered, that wasn't as painful as expected. Thanks rubenwardy.
23:03 rubenwardy    now do   /nc identify <password>
23:03 rubenwardy    and make sure you configure your client to use a password when logging in
23:03 rubenwardy    in hexchat, choose SASL in the network config, then enter the username/password
23:48 bigfoot547    /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER bigfoot547 kqunidizhgjc
23:49 bigfoot547    Oh sh*t. I should've removed whitespaces.
23:49 VanessaE      what's the problem?  all I see is "/msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER bigfoot547 ******"
23:51 Fixer         lol
23:51 Fixer         nice troll
23:51 Fixer         VanessaE...
23:51 bigfoot547    Good. I was about to ask...
23:51 bigfoot547    Was that code bad to release?
23:51 Fixer         ofc bad
23:51 Fixer         and i see it
23:51 Fixer         kqunidizhgjc
23:51 VanessaE      nice way to spoil the joke, Fixer :-/
23:51 behalebabo    it's a one-time code though, right?
23:52 bigfoot547    right?
23:52 VanessaE      no clue actually
23:52 bigfoot547    >.<
23:52 Fixer         hmmm
23:52 bigfoot547    It better be...
23:52 behalebabo    the password is still in effect anyway
23:52 Fixer         VanessaE: instead, tell me what is wrong with this floor transition > https://i.imgur.com/Y60aFFx.png
23:53 bigfoot547    Please, Fixer, Am I f*cked?
23:53 behalebabo    bigfoot547: you should be ok, just don't release your password :)
23:53 bigfoot547    Ok, thanks
23:53 Fixer         bigfoot547: iirc they should send you a new one? read their docs somewhere
23:54 behalebabo    Fixer: it's not a problem
23:54 behalebabo    I just checked, the code is unusable
23:55 bigfoot547    Ok, *takes a big, long, drawn-out breath for relaxation*
23:56 QwertyDragon  bigfoot547 kqunidizhgjc I would change my password.
23:56 QwertyDragon  use this  /msg NickServ SET PASSWORD newpasswordhere
23:56 behalebabo    that's not a password
23:56 behalebabo    it's a verification key
23:56 Fixer         bigfoot547: https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration
23:56 QwertyDragon  oh good :D
23:58 VanessaE      Fixer: not enough info to give you a critique on your flooring there
23:58 VanessaE      (though my first instinct is, someone likes high ceilings)
23:58 Fixer         VanessaE: i mean middle horizontal part that divides the floors outside
23:59 VanessaE      you mean aside from one end being 4 steps and the other end being 2? :)
23:59 bigfoot547    Pwew
