15:56 Errante Hello guys. I got a strange problem. Im trying to run jsonrpc4lua within a minetest mod. So, I installed it inside mod's folder. Now, when I try to require"json.rpc" it doesnt give me any error, but when I try to call json.rpc.proxy() it says json is nil
15:57 Errante if I rename rpc.lua to init.lua the whole code works fine
15:58 Errante should I dofile instead of require ?

16:02 Errante thx for the answer
16:02 Beton joined #minetest
16:02 Beton joined #minetest
16:02 Errante I didnt mention, but I did use irc mod's init.lua to setup insecure enviroment
16:06 Errante its strange because, while hacking rpc.lua into init.lua makes the code work, json.lua doenst need to be hacked into init.lua. but if I dettach rpc.lua's' code from init.lua, the code breaks saying json is nil
16:06 sfan5 that should definitely work if you did it correctly
16:06 troller joined #minetest
16:06 Errante should I use insecure enviroment on every file using require or just init.lua? I didnt require=old_require
16:08 sfan5 every file that uses privileges functions need to make use of the insecure environment
16:08 sfan5 privileged*
16:09 Errante hmm
16:11 Errante but then, why doenst json.lua need to ie (json.lua requires luasocket) when using rpc.lua inside mod's init.lua with ie?
16:12 Errante wait
16:12 Errante sorry
16:12 Errante it doesnt require socket
16:12 Errante rpc requires it
16:16 troller joined #minetest
16:22 Billre left #minetest
16:24 Errante rpc.lua's ie is complaing its not a trusted mod, but the mod itself is set as trusted. should I add rpc as trusted mod?

16:47 sofar https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L3072
16:48 sofar oh IC, you probably need it as a dependency
16:48 Telesight joined #minetest
16:52 FreeFull joined #minetest
16:55 Errante json4lua isnt for json, its for rpc. isnt dependency required for dependency between mods? json4lua isnt a mod, but a lua library

19:26 rubenwardy Errante, I'd suggest looking in to the http API and deserialize_json if you'd like your mod to work without luarocks
19:27 rubenwardy I guess with RPC it'll be quite specific to a server though, in which case luarocks is fine

19:47 Errante rubenwardy: thx for your answer. I saw that http_request areonly executed at init time. if thats true, it doesnt help me
19:47 rubenwardy no, it should be anytime?
19:47 rubenwardy if it's not then there's a bug
19:48 rubenwardy you need to get a http API object at init time
19:48 rubenwardy but once you have it, you can make http requests anytime
19:48 rubenwardy local http_api = minetest.request_http_api()
19:49 rubenwardy you also need to give your mod the permission to get a http API object, in the minetest.conf
19:49 Errante at reference it says " Only works at init time and must be called from the mod's main scope (not from a function)."
19:49 MinetestBot [git] bendeutsch -> minetest/minetest: Documentation for 'slippery' node group (#6345) 43f9e94 https://git.io/v5cO0 (2017-08-29T19:48:43Z)
19:49 rubenwardy Errante, that's the API getter
19:49 rubenwardy not the request maker
19:49 Errante oh
19:49 rubenwardy you need to use the API getter to get an object which you then use to make requesrt
19:50 rubenwardy However, if you have jsonrpc4lua working then it may be worth just using that and rewriting relevant code to use our APIs later if needed
19:50 rubenwardy if you design your mod well, you should be able to separate the RPC code from everything else, to make that easier
19:51 Errante the biggest problem would be to implement rpc with http_api and json_parse
19:51 Errante indeed, Im separating the rpc part from my mod
19:51 Errante thats what I was thinking
19:51 Errante thx ruben
19:52 rubenwardy well, it depends what the mod is. If you're not going to release it, doesn't matter if you use LuaRocks. If it's a hardcore server mod, then any ops should be able to install and use luarocks
19:52 rubenwardy a weigh up of development time VS installation time / portability
19:53 Errante actually, I couldnt get luasockets installed through luarocks
19:53 Errante ive made it through fedora own repo which has lua-socket-compat or something like this
19:53 Errante I hope to make it easy for ops to run the mod
19:54 rubenwardy with lua rocks I found I needed to modify some package path to get it to find modules
19:54 rubenwardy however I can't remember if this was a mod or Lua standalone
19:55 AlexYst joined #minetest
19:55 rubenwardy I mainly intended "external possible with C libraries" by "LuaRocks", anyway

21:08 Errante how should I make it so rpc.lua could use HTTPApiTable instead of luasocket's http.request()?

21:09 Errante I do not understand HTTPApiTable.fetch's function HTTPRequest argument
21:10 twoelk left #minetest
21:13 Errante and how callbacks would fit into the code?
21:16 sfan5 Errante: the first arg is a table as defined like this https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L4849
21:17 sfan5 the callback is a function which will be called on completion/error with a single arg, a table like this: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L4869
21:18 Errante need to remember lua_api.txt xD

21:43 ivanhercaz Hi everyone!
21:43 ivanhercaz I am interested in the creation and translation of pages in the official wikis of Minetest
21:44 ivanhercaz I read in the forum that I can request the account here.
21:45 H4mlet out of curiosity, which languages are you going to translate?
21:45 ivanhercaz To Spanish and my couple is going to translate to Portuguese :)
21:45 Tux[Qyou] joined #minetest
21:46 H4mlet cool, good luck then: it's a royal pain translating
21:48 ivanhercaz It always depends of the source text to translate. Sometimes I have read very clear English texts.
21:48 ivanhercaz But another there is many expressions that sounds fine in English, but in Spanish...
21:48 H4mlet hehe "lost in translation"
21:48 ivanhercaz hahaha
21:49 sfan5 you probably want to talk to Calinou
21:49 sfan5 but he's not here atm

21:50 Calinou hi
21:50 ivanhercaz Thank you sfan5!
21:50 ivanhercaz Hi Calinou ! Nice to know that you are here.
21:50 Calinou ivanhercaz: send me a private message with your email address, and desired username (note that the first character will be uppercase, due to MediaWiki limitations)
21:50 Calinou (/msg Calinou <message here>)
21:50 ivanhercaz Perfect Calinou!
21:51 rubenwardy How are you involved with Wikipedia?
21:51 rubenwardy ie: moderator, developer, contributor, etc
21:52 Santamarcanda joined #minetest
21:52 Santamarcanda Hello!
21:52 H4mlet rubenwardy I was wondering: is it better to use a nodebox cube or a mesh cube? I mean lagwise
21:52 ivanhercaz Welcome Santamarcanda! Calinou is who can make us the account
21:53 rubenwardy H4mlet, it depends
21:53 ivanhercaz You can send him a message with /msg Calinou your email your username
21:53 rubenwardy H4mlet, node boxes afaik don't optimize internal faces
21:53 Santamarcanda Oh, perfect! I will do my best to translate to my native lenguage, pt.
21:53 rubenwardy which is why stairs use mesh nodes, as they have hidden faces
21:53 ivanhercaz Hi rubenwardy, I am contributor and member of Wikimedia España. I usually collaborate in es-wiki, Commons and Wikidata
21:54 rubenwardy nice
21:54 ivanhercaz I collaborate in another languages, like English, Portuguese and Catalá, but less
21:54 rubenwardy would you happen to know why the ban BNCs? EliteBNC in particular
21:55 H4mlet I see, then in every case where there are hidden faces a mesh would be better i.e. saving the render time of non-visible faces
21:55 sfan5 huh he *is* here
21:55 rubenwardy from #wikipedia that is
21:55 sfan5 my mistake
21:55 rubenwardy H4mlet, only if you make the model do that
21:56 rubenwardy I'm not very familiar with the MapBlock mesh generation code (although I should become so at some point) so I'm not sure how it works
21:56 Calinou H4mlet: nodeboxes are rendered efficiently nowadays (they are internally converted to meshes by the engine)
21:56 Calinou however, since you can only place cuboids with nodeboes, you can't optimize meshes as much
21:56 Calinou and you can't have sloped surfaces :)
21:57 rubenwardy Are they optimised, Calinou?
21:57 rubenwardy or just a naive nodebox to mesh conversion
21:57 H4mlet got it. I was wondering 'cause I'd like to create some medieval style windows
21:57 Calinou rubenwardy: it's a naive nodebox-to-mesh conversion indeed; inner faces won't be removed
21:57 Calinou (this is probably possible, but hard)
21:58 ivanhercaz I don't know about rubenwardy :/ Maybe you can ask in #wikimedia
21:58 H4mlet I've tried doing nodebox to .obj using node box editor, but I think I'm missing something: they seem reversed like a glow
21:59 Calinou H4mlet: for meshes, Minetest accepts four formats: .b3d (binary), .x (text), .obj (text), .md2 (binary, obsolete)
21:59 Calinou .obj should be a good choice, but .b3d is smaller, IIRC
21:59 Calinou H4mlet: that might be because the normals are flipped
21:59 Calinou the normals define which faces are "inside" and which ones are "outside"
21:59 rubenwardy H4mlet, the obj exporter should only be used if you want to import it in blender
22:00 rubenwardy just export as a node box if you want MT to use it
22:00 H4mlet oh! that's it!
22:00 rubenwardy also, my obj convertor may have bugs
22:00 H4mlet thus -> obj -> blender -> b3d (using an exporter plugin)
22:01 rubenwardy yeah, but you should edit it in blender as well
22:01 rubenwardy otherwise it is pointless
22:02 H4mlet I'll look into it, might be useful for some basic shape (e.g. my smaller steps mod)
22:03 H4mlet thanks to both for the hints, they've shed some light
22:03 ivanhercaz Perfect Calinou! Account confirmed. Now I am going to try what I can. I have a good knowledge of wikimarkup and templates if I have any doubt I will ask here :)
22:03 Calinou it's ok :)
22:03 Calinou I know a bit about wiki markup, not much but I worked a lot on some wikis
22:04 Calinou (including the Minetest wiki, but also the Minecraft wiki, for example)
22:04 rubenwardy I know (and prefer) mark down
22:04 Calinou yeah, but wiki markup can do more
22:04 rubenwardy so using mediawiki is a little confusing at times
22:04 rubenwardy true, it's more specialised
22:05 rubenwardy loooll
22:06 rubenwardy "`nodebox` -- See below. (**Experimental!**)"
22:06 rubenwardy https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L888
22:06 rubenwardy > Experimental
22:08 H4mlet experimental?
22:08 rubenwardy it may have been experimental to start off with
22:08 rubenwardy but it's definitely not by now
22:08 H4mlet afaik they've been around since years
22:09 rubenwardy eyah
22:09 H4mlet oh well, documentation archaeology
22:15 ivanhercaz Thank you to H4mlet, sfan5, rubenwardy and Calinou for the help! See you here (or in the wiki)!
22:15 H4mlet :) see you!
22:15 Calinou you're welcome :)
