00:55 Hijiri ircSparky: By it doesn't work, do you mean it doesn't get attached?
00:57 ircSparky I dont see the entity that is to be attached
00:57 ircSparky it dissapears
00:59 Hijiri are you in first person, and is the puncher you?
01:03 ircSparky both first and 3rd, and it is me
01:05 ircSparky have you gotten it to work?
01:05 ircSparky or do you know where someone has?
01:21 M6HZ joined #minetest
01:35 Hijiri well, I don't remember if the bone name is Body, but it sounds like it should have worked if it's correct
01:35 Hijiri I've tried it before
01:36 Hijiri ircSparky: here is the code: http://lpaste.net/358691
01:36 Hijiri ignore the registration for test:connector, I didn't use it for anything

02:08 FatalNIX joined #minetest
02:09 FatalNIX any plans to adopt 5.2?
02:09 FatalNIX or 5.3
02:10 FatalNIX oh I see
02:10 FatalNIX it is probably because luajit
02:11 FatalNIX you know I never really understood that for most things, luajit is definately faster ut plain old lua is extremely fast already, sometimes I think pople just can't code :P
02:24 jas_ either that or plain old lua wasn't fast enough to handle whatever, probably total number of players on the server.  i think minetestserver shimmies at like 30-40 players.
02:24 jas_ i think also because everything is on a single thread? *shrugs* <-- and doesn't know how to code! ;^)
02:26 ircSparky To anyone interested: https://github.com/Elkien3/backpack
02:29 ircSparky the main thing thats would be important for attacking to the "Body" bone is so sitting and laying look normal. also then it would support playeranim
02:30 jas_ interesting, the bag is an entity.  i have one very similar (https://github.com/jastevenson303/backpacks) but they're nodes.  i too, plan to implement swing-open-anywhere, but also want to make it so they can be placed anywhere regardless of protection (but feels risky)
02:31 jas_ it makes sense that one would be able to hold the bag with one hand and access its contents with the other, heh.  i tried to do attached_inventory=1, but the node would lose its metadata
02:31 jas_ tempted to give your entity backpack a look-see and see how it feels, thanks for that
02:40 M6HZ joined #minetest
02:50 jas_ (i always intended to make it a 3d model visible on the player, leaving them with only their 8-slot hotbar if they dropped their backpack
02:51 jas_ (i even got it as a slot on player inventory that when you removed the bag, so did your bottom 24 slots disappear.  there was a problem with glitches and lists and formspec stuff, want to try again tho)
02:53 jas_ (iirc it was a problem with duplicating stacks, by way of very quickly exchanging item-atop-item click and releases, maybe it's fixed by now.)
02:56 ircSparky sounds cool
02:59 ircSparky I have a feeling entites are really cut out for stuff like this :P
02:59 ircSparky atleast its stylish :P
03:00 ircSparky what you said sounds like an awesome idea for a hardcore gamemode
03:00 ircSparky good luck! im off to bed
03:05 jas_ ye, that's the idea.  thanks, and good night

15:58 fireglow is there a way to count the registered nodes and sort by mod/namespace? Just got "ERROR[Main]: Number of registerable nodes (32768) exceeded", lol
16:00 Alcyone2 joined #minetest
16:03 pipo joined #minetest
16:03 pipo left #minetest
16:04 deltasquared fireglow: not sure about sorting, though you can access registered nodes at runtime via the minetest.registered_nodes table
16:04 deltasquared out of block ids is definitely an annoying problem to have
16:05 deltasquared fireglow: you suspect something is taking a crap-ton of ids?
16:06 fireglow deltasquared: yes, the streets mod
16:06 fireglow throwing that on my already fairly modded server caused the error.
16:06 deltasquared fireglow: I'm just trying to cook up a lua snippet
16:07 deltasquared fireglow: though you'll need somewhere to run it... dunno if you have luacmd handy
16:07 fireglow it would be nice to know if my existing mods are close to the limit already or if it's solely streets fault
16:07 FreeFull joined #minetest
16:07 fireglow oh cool!
16:07 fireglow sec
16:08 deltasquared fireglow: I may be a few minutes, I'll have to revise string chopping in lua
16:08 fireglow no rush, no stress :) I'm glad of any assistance you can give
16:08 fireglow I'll throw on luacmd
16:08 deltasquared but the basic idea is to chop the bit after the : in each registered node, and use that as an index into a table where the counter is incremented, then print all the mod prefixes out again via pairs() on the table
16:09 deltasquared bearing in mind, this will only work when the game is already running.
16:09 deltasquared if the game crashes because of ID limits I don't know how you'd get code in there
16:09 fireglow that's good enough
16:10 deltasquared right, so gives a range from start to end inclusive... hmm.
16:12 deltasquared eyy, this is more head baking that I expected at this time of day
16:12 paramat wow someone exceeded the limit
16:12 deltasquared paramat: I didn't realise that was suprising?
16:12 Fixer joined #minetest
16:12 deltasquared though then again it *is* 32768
16:13 AlexYst joined #minetest
16:13 paramat there is an issue for optionally increasing the limit, but needs some coding i can't do, otherwise i would have done it by now
16:14 deltasquared paramat: could it theoretically be 65536 (16 bits) without breaking stuff in structures?
16:14 deltasquared and map saves, come to thing of it
16:14 deltasquared the former structure being the C++ kind in the engine code
16:14 paramat well, read the issue https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/6101
16:15 fireglow paramat: that limit is probably high enough, I strongly suspect some mod that has node creation in a buggy loop or something
16:15 paramat yes it's certainly high enough :)
16:15 fireglow ;)
16:15 paramat when people exceed it the word 'excessive' comes to mind
16:16 Krock fireglow, you also could overwrite the minetest.register_node and register_item functions to get the items before it throws the error
16:18 paramat in 2013 kahrl considered 4096 nodes a lot hehe
16:20 paramat anyay it's all about dummy ids needed, which is why the limit is half the expected 65000
16:20 deltasquared fireglow: "attempted to perform arithmetic on local "start" (a nil value)" shoot, a bit longer, please bear with
16:22 paramat and 65000 is the limit set by map format
16:23 deltasquared paramat: not 65536?
16:23 deltasquared you know, 2^16
16:23 paramat yeah that's what i mean (lazy)
16:24 deltasquared wait, continue isn't a lua thing? could have sworn I saw it in docs
16:25 Krock you could put it into a separate do ... while loop and use break
16:25 deltasquared is ok, I've fixed it. just wrapped the block in another if check instead
16:25 Krock they added goto in a newer version, which I can't understand why they did so
16:26 deltasquared me neither.
16:27 deltasquared welp, apparently I'm balling up string.sub somehow
16:28 deltasquared buggerit, I'm formatting this first so I can read it
16:28 deltasquared fireglow: I'll be honest I may have to go soon anyways sorry
16:28 deltasquared an interesting little challenge though
16:29 deltasquared ... ooh. OOOH.
16:29 deltasquared I'm an idiot, as usual
16:29 deltasquared got key from pairs() and actual modname mixed up
16:31 rdococ heh
16:32 rdococ what mod are you making?
16:32 fireglow deltasquared: sure, no problem, you're under no obligation whatsoever :)
16:32 deltasquared rdococ: not, I'm making a lua fragment for fireglow to check which mods are taking up nodes
16:32 fireglow rdococ: a script that counts node usage by other mods
16:32 rdococ ah
16:32 rdococ why's that?
16:32 deltasquared fireglow: *deep breath* results={}  for key, _ in pairs(minetest.registered_nodes) do  local start,_ = string.find(key, ":")  if start ~= nil then local modname=string.sub(key, 1, start-1) local currentcount=results[modname]  if currentcount == nil then currentcount = 1 else currentcount = currentcount + 1 end  results[modname] = currentcount end end  print("results: ") for name, value in pairs(results) do print(name..":
16:32 deltasquared "..tostring(value)) end
16:32 deltasquared bugger.
16:32 deltasquared I'll paste it
16:33 fireglow rdococ: I'm hitting the node limit :S
16:33 fireglow deltasquared: yay
16:33 deltasquared fireglow: https://ptpb.pw/F94a try that
16:34 deltasquared sorry for no indentation, not sure how luacmd or the MT console would handle it with the newlines in
16:34 fireglow oh bugger, I can't paste
16:34 deltasquared fireglow: hmm? ctrl-v should do it?
16:35 fireglow I'll type it into a command block
16:35 fireglow I can't paste to minetest, for somereason
16:35 deltasquared fireglow: if the non-indented version won't work, I'll make a version inside a function that you can stick into an init.lua in a temp. mod
16:36 fireglow no wait, sec
16:36 deltasquared ...?
16:36 deltasquared hurry up, me be hungry :P
16:36 deltasquared you'll need to see it's print() output of course
16:36 fireglow yes it works, thanks!
16:37 deltasquared fireglow: see anything interesting?
16:37 fireglow hmm, biggest consumer of nodes is ethereal with 1004, but nothing that should get close to 33k
16:38 deltasquared I wonder if there's a way to hook minetest.register_node to count it's invocations...
16:38 fireglow ah, moreblocks is 3728
16:38 deltasquared I didn't add a sum bit at the end :P
16:38 fireglow no worries
16:38 fireglow thank you for your help, deltasquared!! Lua whizz ;)
16:39 deltasquared anyway, feel free to keep that. like most of my other code, it's public domain. I don't give on copyrights, do what you like. http://unlicense.org
16:39 deltasquared *ahem* I hereby disclaim copyright and intend this to be an overt act of relinquishment yadda yadda.
16:39 fireglow yay :)
16:39 deltasquared fireglow: programming whiz in general I would prefer :P
16:39 deltasquared also, https://github.com/thetaepsilon-gamedev *hint hint*
16:39 fireglow of course! =)
16:40 deltasquared though, some things are being constructed still.
16:40 deltasquared now, I really must get food going, have fun.
16:40 fireglow nice, I'll keep watching it
16:40 fireglow enjoy the food
16:44 ClockGen joined #minetest
16:44 ClockGen hey, how exactly I'm supposed to use --name and --password arguments while hosting a server? (linux)
16:45 sofar not
16:45 sofar you don't use those
16:45 ClockGen Why
16:45 sofar you set `name = adminusername` in the minetest.conf for the server
16:45 sofar and than that user is the server admin
16:45 ClockGen Well I was hoping that I can actually use --name and --password as arguments to avoid using 2 separate config files
16:46 sofar if you run 2 servers, I strongly recommend making separate server configs
16:46 sofar otherwise they both have the same server name, server description etc etc
16:46 ClockGen Well I run 1 dedicated server but using my main minetest.conf
16:47 ClockGen Which I use for my client too
16:48 ClockGen Is there a way to set admin password without actually logging once?
16:48 fireglow you can just remove the whole client section for the server configuration, makes it easier to manage
16:48 sofar not really
16:49 sofar a server config file can just be 10-15 options, so it's no really big deal
16:49 ClockGen Yeah I already wrote another server config but then found these "--name" and "--password"
16:49 ClockGen So I thought I can use it, apparently not
16:49 sofar those are for the client, obviously
16:49 sofar a server creates no user
16:50 ClockGen Well there is not much definition really, so I thought it's admin name and password
16:51 ClockGen Another question: what are units of player_transfer_distance setting?
16:51 ClockGen conf example on github says it's blocks
16:51 sfan5 ClockGen: running two instance from a single config is not a good idea as they might overwrite each others changes
16:52 sfan5 if the conf says "blocks" it's units of 16 nodes
16:52 ClockGen oh well that's what I thought
16:52 ClockGen But I cant really get used to nodes and keep calling them "blocks"
16:53 sfan5 it's fine if you know that a different convention is used internally
16:55 ClockGen Is there a way to create new world from commandline without actually generating any blocks?
16:56 ClockGen So I could enable all mods
16:56 ClockGen Without using gui at all
16:56 deltasquared joined #minetest
16:56 deltasquared food be cooking now
16:56 deltasquared fireglow: nice to know it will be useful, certainly I get a kick from making stuff people actually use
16:56 deltasquared might add it to libmthelpers later.
16:57 Krock ClockGen, minetest --server --world <new path>
16:57 Krock or just minetestserver
16:59 ClockGen Oh well nothing is going to be generated unless somebody joins?
17:01 fireglow deltasquared: yes, definitely useful :) I added it to my useful wiki page that also holds a nice patch from sfan5
17:01 sfan5 a patch by me? :thinking.
17:01 sfan5 🤔
17:01 deltasquared that moment when you realise there was something you could do simpler...
17:02 ClockGen Ok thanks for help with my stupid questions
17:02 deltasquared instead of chopping the nodename string up, I could have just used mod_origin
17:02 deltasquared *derp*
17:02 Krock s/stupid/beginner/
17:02 fireglow sfan5: https://dev.firc.de/wiki/Games/MinetestAdmin the block counting
17:02 Telesight joined #minetest
17:02 sfan5 oh
17:11 deltasquared fireglow: currently hammering it into shape so it'll appear in https://github.com/thetaepsilon-gamedev/libmthelpers
17:12 deltasquared I've made the list results part used a passed function for printing, so it won't depend on print() as it exists at mod load time (meaning you can still make it print to player log for example)
17:13 deltasquared man, I freaking love closures.
17:13 deltasquared argh, something's cooking well...

17:58 FreeFull asie: Best way to find out is to try them out
17:59 asie apparently there's an issue on mesegates
17:59 asie that it doesn't work, since feb 2015
17:59 Krock asie, deprecated_lua_api_handling = error  and your chances are high that they don't work
18:00 Krock question answered
18:00 asie so, let's contribute to one of the voxel games which actually respects your freedom
18:00 asie and install minetest again

18:05 deltasquared fireglow: that thing I wrote for you is up on github now, https://github.com/thetaepsilon-gamedev/minetest-mod-libmthelpers/blob/master/stats.lua
18:06 asie huh. the mesecons API pretty much changed entirely

18:21 deltasquared asie: are we referring to something in mesecons itself or
18:22 asie https://github.com/asiekierka/mesegates
18:22 asie it's a gate mod I made which has many more features than the builtin one
18:23 asie but it's 2.5 years old
18:23 deltasquared rargh, the mesecons effectors and such API is not something I want to try and dive into right now
18:29 rdococ mesecons api is weird
18:29 rdococ externally, it's okay, but internally, it's super weird
18:29 asie it seems that mesecons simply can't see my gates
18:29 asie though my receptor/effector calls seem fine
18:30 deltasquared rdococ: great. and to think that I was considering hooking into it for something I'm writing... that's going to be *fun*
18:30 rdococ heh
18:30 rdococ the mesecons api is internally eternally odd
18:31 asie i used to call, uh
18:31 asie mesecon:update_autoconnect(pos)
18:32 asie but that's gone now

21:07 Fixer joined #minetest
21:16 cyberarm joined #minetest
21:20 dogetest It seens buildable_to isnt exactly whatI needed. Im writing a mod which is going to charge a fee from players when they dig or place. doing it through register_on_dignode and register_on_placenode didnt work because if players couldnt pay the fee I would need to revert dig/place. Ive tried thorugh is_protected, but didnt work because of sapplings running it multiple times. Now Im trying to wrap nodes dig and place, but
21:20 dogetest when right-clicking on a chest while with a dirt on hand, it places the dirt instead of opening the chest
21:21 sfan5 overriding callbacks needs to be done with care
21:21 sfan5 if it isn't these problems are no surprise
