00:00 GreenDimond Oh so that's what it means
00:00 GreenDimond Thankyou :)
00:06 GreenDimond Doesnt seem to work
00:06 GreenDimond `replacements = {["bucket:bucket_water"] = "bucket:bucket"},` must be wrong?
00:06 asl97 GreenDimond: https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/blob/master/mods/bucket/init.lua#L213
00:06 rubenwardy replacements = {{ "bucket:bucket_water", "bucket:bucket"}},
00:07 GreenDimond ah I need brackets
00:07 GreenDimond braces*
00:07 rubenwardy it's a double array
00:07 rubenwardy not a dicationaly
00:07 rubenwardy *ary
00:07 GreenDimond Yeah that makes sense
00:07 rubenwardy +t
00:08 GreenDimond Thankyou :)
00:10 asl97 can minetest.get_perlin and minetest.get_perlin_map produce the same result for the same pos?

14:00 Out`Of`Control Hi
14:00 Out`Of`Control My server random disppear for a while from server list, while its still there. All i could find in logs "servers.minetest.net/announce not found (Timeout was reached) (response code 0)"
14:01 sfan5 it should reappear next time MT sends an announce
14:02 Out`Of`Control it reppear, but i have never seen it on older version
14:03 Out`Of`Control sfan5: has nothing to do with server settings
14:04 proller joined #minetest
14:04 Out`Of`Control now again my server is gone

15:05 lumberJ Can anyone tell me does the "signlike" drawtype not support textures for what would be the top and back of the sign?
15:06 sfan5 because the sign is a flat surface
15:06 sfan5 with a depth of zero
15:06 lumberJ the description says "textured plain" so I assume not, but its a strange node that floats off the texture its built to
15:08 lumberJ if it attached texture directly to the node built to that would make sense, but it seems to have 1/16 of a node depths distance so that the texture floats off of the next node over

18:15 Inocudom Well, have you tried 0.5 dev yet? It seems to be much faster than 4.16.
18:15 rubenwardy lots of optimisations :D
18:15 VanessaE I have not.
18:15 rubenwardy but also lots of changes, so bugs :(
18:15 VanessaE I don't plan to try it for a VERY long time.
18:15 rubenwardy lol
18:15 rubenwardy :'(
18:16 rubenwardy how long is very long?
18:16 VanessaE months.
18:16 VanessaE maybe as much as a year, depends on how 0.4.x progresses in the meantime
18:16 rubenwardy 0.4.x won't receive anymore development
18:16 rubenwardy but I'd like to push for 0.5 to have a patch release for bug fixes
18:17 VanessaE 0.4.x is supposed to be getting at least one more bugfix release.
18:17 rubenwardy that will be bfore 0.5
18:17 rubenwardy in december
18:17 VanessaE problem is you guys want to do only bugfixes while leaving a few things incomplete, meanwhile 0.5.x is supposed to break stuff, and I don't wanna fight with broken mods/server/etc
18:17 Inocudom What are the main bugs in 0.5 dev?
18:17 Billre joined #minetest
18:18 rubenwardy Inocudom, networking, if nerzhul has his way
18:18 rubenwardy I'm not really sure why 0.5 needs to be so breaking so far
18:19 rubenwardy the player offset could be done with compatibility checks
18:19 rubenwardy but \o/
18:19 VanessaE exactly
18:19 Inocudom It should be faster, but I guess it has connection issues?
18:19 asl97 VanessaE: can you tell me the most amount of minetest.get_mapgen_object("voxelmanip") is used by a single world on your server?
18:19 VanessaE asl97: I wouldn't know. I don't mess with VMs
18:19 rubenwardy ask paramat, he was involved with that
18:20 rubenwardy I wasn't active then (exams or coursework)
18:20 Inocudom And yes, a form of backwards compatibility is important too, mainly for the mobile users (whom there is never a shortage of.)
18:20 YuGiOhJCJ joined #minetest
18:21 asl97 the most i saw was three by an rather old subgame, if so i really over estmated the amount of mods in a world which uses minetest.get_mapgen_object("voxelmanip")
18:22 Jousway joined #minetest
18:22 Inocudom I find it depressing that most of the players in the Minetest servers use mobile clients, not the PC version.
18:23 rubenwardy the official Minetest app will be approved, and is something I'd vote to delay the release for
18:24 rubenwardy I personally can't even compile the app though so \o/
18:24 ensonic joined #minetest
18:25 asl97 VanessaE: i know your dreambuilder modpack uses three too https://github.com/VanessaE/dreambuilder_modpack/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=minetest.get_mapgen_object%28%22voxelmanip%22%29&type=
18:25 asl97 but that hardly enough to justify a new api to fix the slowness of lua mapgen
18:26 Inocudom I can't compile 0.5 dev either, and I'm using Linux Mint 17.3, which has Ubuntu 14.04 as its base.
18:26 rubenwardy Inocudom, it works on Linux
18:26 rubenwardy you just need to get a supporting compiler, as was said
18:26 rubenwardy there will be a PPA for that
18:28 fwhcat joined #minetest
18:28 o11c asl97: I for one don't trust a JIT to *ever* match native speed ... I'd rather dlopen() a mapgen
18:28 o11c asl97: how many people actually write mapgens?
18:28 rubenwardy match? no
18:28 rubenwardy mostly good enough? sure
18:30 asl97 if there is only one mod using it, it gonna be slower, (no way that it get merge), if there are two, it might just match the current speed, three, maybe a little faster but not enough to justify a new api
18:30 Inocudom Apparently, clang 3.4 and clang 3.9 can't coexist together, and you need clang 3.9 to install base clang.
18:31 o11c 3.5 is the oldest clang I play with
18:31 o11c and even then ... clang sucks compared to gcc, so I barely use it
18:32 o11c I'm currently writing a GCC plugin, and the GCC internals, which were never "designed for use as a library", are *way* more stable
18:33 o11c (as in, I'm writing one GCC plugin that works with any version from 4.5 to 8)
18:35 o11c rubenwardy: a poor object model puts you at *least* 2x slower, and many of the trivial-but-significant optimizations that are doable in native languages aren't even *conceivable* for jitted languages
18:35 o11c rubenwardy: it's amazing how much performance can be gained by putting bitfields in a union, for example

19:22 Inocudom Linux Mint didn't switch to gcc 7.2 as default, and there don't seem to be any real straight answers on how to make it do so either.
19:30 Inocudom My /usr/bin has a file named gcc-7, but it is a link. The program it links to is x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-7, which is also in /usr/bin.
19:34 twoelk I seem to have difficulties to run minetest-0.5.0-fc9747e-win32. any new system recomendations I should be aware of?
19:36 rubenwardy it's compiled?

19:41 fwhcat joined #minetest
19:46 Inocudom Well, 0.5 dev requires c++11.
19:47 Inocudom Which is why and went and got gcc-7, but getting the system to use it could be difficult, if not impossible.
19:50 sfan5 twoelk: nope the 32-bit ones are just broken atm
19:50 sfan5 i will try to fix this soon
19:58 Inocudom Bye.

21:11 Out`Of`Control hi swift110
21:11 twoelk if it doesn't work you still got the save-to-local option :-D may take some time though
21:12 Out`Of`Control i mean when i test it for a week or longer
21:13 AntumDeluge joined #minetest
21:16 twoelk actually I did something similar. copied a backup version into the local-world folder and only updated certain areas by flying there - probably to much work for larger servers I guess, nice way to merge stuff though
21:17 twoelk I got a weird version of xanadu that way :-D
21:19 Out`Of`Control lol
21:19 Out`Of`Control it would be too much work, thanks for advice twoelk. If all fails i could do that for sure

21:40 Out`Of`Control what is special about 0.5?
21:43 rdococ 0.5.0 is cool. I guess.
21:43 orbea my take is that too many mods are only tested against the latest stable and the issue with mismatching versions for multiplayer makes using git versions hard for anything but devel.
21:48 rmbeer this is disappointing... all the mods not work...
21:49 rmbeer i use from the git version
21:52 rmbeer only view a stone, quartz block and ore, sound by drop blocks, and nothing more, not view the forest, more ores, etc...

23:22 freelikegnu ?
23:23 freelikegnu Well they said some positive things about minetest over minecraft such as its incredible extensibility
23:25 freelikegnu so maybe more people will come into the community... guess it would be bad SEO to change the name after such a high profile plug
