I'm getting "Bus error (core dumped)" when trying to start the game |

self-compiled or distro package? |

Arch linux from the repos |

also that isn't a fatal error, gdb would help |

sfan5, how would I go about gdb? "gdb minetest" I'm guessing? |

jordan4ibanez: arch linux huh? I'm usually hiding on #archlinux, let's see now |
| 12:02 |
jordan4ibanez |
I will do that now, and deltasquared, I tried turning it off and on again hahaha |
| 12:02 |
deltasquared |
"Bus error" usually means that a program has incorrectly accessed memory relating to a mapping that has changed size. |
| 12:02 |
|
rtjure joined #minetest |
| 12:02 |
deltasquared |
it's distinct from a segfault in that it can occur with mmap'd stuff, like for example graphics buffers |
| 12:03 |
deltasquared |
so, the fact that your stack trace points out libnvidia-glcore would suggest you've hit a driver bug |
| 12:03 |
deltasquared |
jordan4ibanez: so all that said, I would think that the "bus error" is not related ;) |
| 12:04 |
jordan4ibanez |
deltasquared, yeah I'm still trying to get everything worked out, now I have pamac giving me invalid packages etc etc etc |
| 12:06 |

I've always found Radeon to to be the more stable |
| 12:12 |

(stability for me is more valuable) |

intel GPU is pretty good for stability, though for actual gaming use it's a bit anemic. |

Which is why I prefer Minetest over Terasology |

Terasology... I distinctly remember a *lot* of shader effects |

Graphically it was very nice, but it's built on Java |

eww |

GC pauses do not belong in a game thanks :P |

| 12:30 |
deltasquared |
speaking of ideas, implementing multipart blocks using entities... hmm |
| 12:31 |
deltasquared |
sfan5: I'm thinking of forge multipart in particular. I suspect that putting such a thing in the engine would be *waaaay* to complex |
| 12:31 |
sfan5 |
idk how that works never heard of it |
| 12:32 |
deltasquared |
sfan5: multiple "things" can be occupy a block space, say multiple torches. or project:red wires, for instance |
| 12:32 |
sfan5 |
sounds fancy |
| 12:32 |
deltasquared |
if MT had such a thing, for example, the moreblocks panels etc. could share a space |
| 12:32 |

no idea how one would give it node sounds though, among many other caveats. |

| 12:40 |

| 12:40 |

it's not a case of they want to play a block game, they want to play *minecraft* with all it's context so they can talk/waste time over it etc. |
| 12:43 |

ah |
| 12:43 |

Do we have an NPC mod that allows NPCs to be programmed in game? I.e place a "person" crafted from Feathers and Honey then being able to select options in an ingame menu? |

(Nothing to complex just a few inbuilt scripts) |
| 12:46 |
deltasquared |
Taose: I dunno about programmability, though I did consider writing a lib to produce a fake player object that would try to "look" as convincing as possible |
| 12:47 |

rubenwardy: "EVE-level", so it was a common thing on that game to exploit new users? |
| 13:34 |
rubenwardy |
yeah, big players would exploit new users to make loads of money for them at low cost |
| 13:35 |

That's damned impressive... |

/dev/sda1 fsck failed. Disk failure. |
| 13:45 |

should've used btrfs, it has no fsck so nothing can fail |

sfan5: I was just lucking at the facedir axis values... is there a particular reason that they're the values that they are? |
| 13:48 |

is there a special trick to say flip it to face exactly the opposite way |
| 13:48 |

Taose: suspend on Linux is still pretty unreliable today |
| 13:50 |
Calinou |
on the proprietary NVIDIA driver, it's pretty much unusable |
| 13:51 |
sfan5 |
you mean suspend to disk surely? |
| 13:51 |
Calinou |
on open source drivers, it's mostly okay… at best |
| 13:51 |
Calinou |
no, to RAM |
| 13:51 |
Calinou |
to disk is probably even worse |
| 13:51 |
sfan5 |
works perfectly on my laptop |
| 13:51 |
Calinou |
on my laptop, suspending worked, but Bluetooth sometimes didn't restore |
| 13:51 |
Calinou |
(only a reboot could solve it) |
| 13:53 |
Krock |
I tried to suspend to RAM too, that was two days ago. But each attempt to do so failed, as it kept starting up again, getting back to the login screen. This even when trying to shut down from the login screen itself :/ |
| 13:53 |
Krock |
hard exit solved it |
| 13:54 |
Krock |
i.e. 5s death-knob pressing or cable out |
| 13:57 |
Taose |
Yeah that's pretty much what I've found |
| 13:57 |
Taose |
I usually find it makes my main disk read only on restore |

Paramat, apparently being under glass doesn't count |

because sunlight propagates, so light level is still 15 under glass |
| 17:41 |

Ah I see so it's using the same system as sunlight? |

assadf: how exactly would ipfs help minetest? |
| 19:03 |
assadf |
instead of loading data from a central server players in the same geographical location could pull data from each other's machines thereby shaving precious ms in latency |
| 19:03 |
assadf |
if i understand it correctly |
| 19:03 |
assadf |
say what you will about the ipfs meme but their irc is several times more active than yours js |
| 19:04 |
sfan5 |
okay cool |
| 19:04 |
sfan5 |
assadf: i only see this working out for media files or (with several complications) world data |
| 19:04 |
* Krock |
has flashbacks of an issue about distributed game content, which slowly died in inactivity |
| 19:04 |
sfan5 |
however both of those are not latency-relevant |
| 19:05 |
sfan5 |
latency matters when interacting with other players or the environment, not during data download |
| 19:05 |
sfan5 |
besides ~60% of minetest players are on mobile platforms which will guaranteedly not run ipfs |
| 19:05 |
rdococ |
Couldn't a machine send incorrect data, though? |
| 19:06 |
assadf |
so you are telling me that when I walk to an area cached on my buddy sitting next to me's machine that the latency wouldn't matter between getting it from his comp and getting it from the server |
| 19:06 |
rdococ |
(Though that could easily be prevented using SHA checksums.) |
| 19:06 |
assadf |
actually android has an ipfs alpha client already available |
| 19:06 |
Krock |
rdococ, that's another issue. never trust clients. |
| 19:06 |
assadf |
everything is hashed and signed on ipfs |
| 19:07 |
rdococ |
Krock: A machine could send incorrect data, sure. However, if the server and machine only exchange checksums to ensure that the data is correct, then I don't see the problem. |
| 19:07 |
sfan5 |
assadf: correct |
| 19:07 |
rdococ |
It wouldn't cause too much latency - I hope, anyway. |
| 19:07 |
sfan5 |
it does not matter if you get a 16KiB block of data from your mate @ 2ms or from the server which is at worst 300ms away |
| 19:08 |
sfan5 |
the android thing i mention wasn't about support, it was about whether people would actually use it |
| 19:08 |
assadf |
i beg to differ |
| 19:08 |
assadf |
try it and see |
| 19:09 |
sfan5 |
why would i go out of my way just to prove what you said? |
| 19:09 |
assadf |
no im saying the difference would be noticeable |
| 19:10 |
sfan5 |
certainly, but i'm saying the difference does not matter |
| 19:11 |
assadf |
im thinking that it might enable people in china to play with people in america on the same server and actually enjoy the experience |
| 19:11 |
sfan5 |
even if latency did matter, map data is way too dynamic to be stored distributed in an useful manner |
| 19:12 |
assadf |
surely you must be joking |
| 19:12 |
sfan5 |
no |
| 19:12 |
sfan5 |
can ipfs distribute map updates several times a second faster than directly sending data to each client? |
| 19:14 |
assadf |
what exactly do you mean |
| 19:14 |
rdococ |
Ugh, I am seriously annoyed by this web filter. It still manages to be a pain even though I've configured it not to filter anything. |
| 19:14 |
rdococ |
I had to restart the computer earlier, and now I can't access any website normally. |
| 19:15 |
rdococ |
I had to install Tor browser, and even use a bridge or two. |
| 19:16 |
sfan5 |
assadf: map data can change several times a second, can ipfs handle that and provide the newest "version" to clients in a timely manner? |
| 19:17 |
assadf |
a core philosophy of its design is to introduce zero adoption friction. I would assume, though I am not intimately familiar with its inner workings, that it could in fact handle the task you describe |

even if it could, i seriously doubt that would be faster (latency-wise) than just sending map updates to each client individually |
| 19:21 |
assadf |
so you think it is faster for one machine to continually update several machines on map data rather than several machines working together to keep each other updated. I think it is the other way around. It seems we have reached an impasse in our discussion and further scientific inquiry is required to ascertain the truth |
| 19:21 |

possibly |

if ipfs does turn out to be magically faster than what we have been using for years you would still need to find a developer to implement it |

is it possible to give player custom velocity in lua? |

I'm battling with a broken web filter |
| 19:39 |
Angry |
sounds hard rdococ |
| 19:40 |
rdococ |
I'm considering booting into safe mode to boot the web filter out. |
| 19:40 |
deltasquared |
might work, hopefully that'll disable whatever it's using to protect itself |
| 19:41 |
rdococ |
I wonder how it even does that, though. |
| 19:41 |
rdococ |
I've found at least one source which actually claims the filter to be malware, but the source doesn't seem too trustworthy itself. |
| 19:41 |
deltasquared |
I dunno re self-protection, but antiviruses do it too |
| 19:42 |
deltasquared |
that said, software which I can't remove on a system I should control, and acts against my interest, qualifies as malware in my book ;) |
| 19:42 |
rdococ |
I had to install Tor browser, because it wouldn't allow me to access very many websites for whatever reason. |
| 19:43 |
rdococ |
Once I emailed the bridges email bot with 'get bridges', I was able to connect to Tor and access the internet, unrestricted, through that. |
| 19:44 |
rdococ |
Though I'm not even sure I can access Safe Mode on this laptop. It's Windows 8.1. |
| 19:44 |
rdococ |
Also, I think the vendor has tampered with the boot screen. |
| 19:45 |
deltasquared |
sounds like a typical day in the life of a windows user to me :P |
| 19:45 |
rdococ |
Heh. |
| 19:46 |
rdococ |
When I get my laptop back - hopefully tomorrow - I'd forgo all this shit and install Linux, if not for the fact that I still have a lingering feeling for Roblox. |
| 19:46 |
rdococ |
I really don't know what to do. |
| 19:46 |
rdococ |
My plan was originally to only use Roblox here on this laptop, but the shitty web filter has broken everything. |
| 19:46 |
rdococ |
I'm installing Malwarebytes as we speak to see if it classifies Netintelligence as malware. |
| 19:47 |
deltasquared |
Roblox? eh, I can't really judge on that one owing to a lack of exposure to it. |
| 19:48 |
rdococ |
Well, it's proprietary and it REALLY likes money, so it's become sort of a guilty pleasure. |
| 19:49 |
rdococ |
Yay, Malwarebytes can't download the latest updates and stuff. |
| 19:51 |
deltasquared |
I would just gently point out that there might be a point where it's either that software or preserving your sanity |

I self-regularly slap my own head at the sides. One time, it was hard enough that I swore I went deaf in my right ear for a few moments, or at least my sense of hearing was diminished there. Note that I was still able to balance and walk fine, though. |

I do agree with you though, deltasquared. Netintelligence is software that is acting against my interests, and resisting removal even with Autoruns.exe. That is what both of us call malware. |

I managed to reconnect to two other than Freenode, and then one of them - Inchra - disconnected again. |

But it's back to normal now... if with a high ping. |

My nutso web filter filters http://192.168.0.1:80/ because it hasn't, and never SEEMS to, get the proper settings. |
| 20:26 |

Isn't 192.168 a local server? |
| 20:26 |

i.e you |

.0.1 and .1.1 are common router IPs |
| 20:31 |
rdococ |
yeah, 192.168.0.1 connects to the control panel for my router |
| 20:31 |
rdococ |
yet this dumbass web filter blocks it because it "has invalid settings" and must "download settings" (which takes an indefinite amount of time); |
| 20:33 |
Taose |
Yeah there's this command called Fdisk |
| 20:33 |

It'll solve your problem instantly |

I'd back up all your data that you want to keep though |

Would the operating system be formatted, though? |

Well assuming that you didn't have an OS to reinstall...very very little |
| 20:36 |
Taose |
as in, you wouldn't get past the bios screen |
| 20:37 |
rdococ |
Is there a way to wipe everything, but keep the OS itself and essential components such as Internet Explorer, so I can reinstall Firefox? |
| 20:38 |
Taose |
Did you get a disk with your computer? |
| 20:38 |
Taose |
i.e a windows disk |
| 20:38 |

Don't think so. |

hang on |
| 20:40 |
Taose |
Steps to reinstall Windows 8 without the disk |
| 20:40 |
Taose |
1. First of all you need to go to the computer settings, to do so press Windows + C keys to view the start menu startbar, click on Settings. |
| 20:40 |
Taose |
2. Over there you find a “Change PC Settings†option, click it. |
| 20:40 |
Krock |
> essential components |
| 20:40 |
Krock |
> Internet Explorer |
| 20:40 |
Taose |
3. Now, a PC Settings window opens, over there navigate to General Settings, scroll down and you will find three options |
| 20:41 |
Taose |
“1st-Refresh Your PC without affecting your files†|
| 20:41 |
Taose |
“2nd-Remove everything and reinstall windows†|
| 20:41 |
Taose |
“3rd-Advanced Startup†|
| 20:41 |
Taose |
The 1st option is for reinstalling windows 8 without affecting your files the 2nd is to delete all files and reinstall windows 8 and the 3rd option gives you the options for installing windows from USB drive/DVD or other options. |
| 20:41 |
Taose |
IE isn't essential anymore, I think that's Edge nowadays |
| 20:41 |
rdococ |
Krock: yeah I didn't think that through |
| 20:42 |
rdococ |
My mother uses the first option regularly for some reason. It temporarily keeps the broken web filter at bay. |
| 20:42 |
Taose |
You need the second |
| 20:42 |
rdococ |
ah. |
| 20:43 |
rdococ |
should I do it now? |
| 20:43 |
Taose |
I recommend backing up your data just in case but sure you can try it |
| 20:43 |
Taose |
I'd personally recommend trying to get a small linux distro |
| 20:43 |
Taose |
I wonder if you can use ftp? |
| 20:44 |
Taose |
(i.e. using something other than the 80 port to get data) |
| 20:44 |
rdococ |
My mother has lots of files on here, but I'm not sure about the whole backupping thing. |
| 20:44 |
Taose |
If you're using tor, that should enable you to download an ISO |
| 20:45 |
rdococ |
well, my mother did say I could do whatever with this |
| 20:45 |
rdococ |
so for now I might go for the second option |
| 20:45 |
Taose |
Go for it |
