Time Nick Message 00:12 swift110 hey all 06:06 MinetestBot 02[git] 04lhofhansl -> 03minetest/minetest: Allow zoom to actually show more data. 13ae9b1aa https://git.io/vF1jX (152017-11-16T06:03:58Z) 06:37 TempUser Quick question, hope I can get an answer here without going through the hassel of going on the dev channel: does using `base.png^[sheet:16x16:0,0' (as mentioned in the Lua API) use hardware tiling such that the GPU performs fewer texture binds? Since that is the most common reason to use tilesheets a.k.a texture atlases. Thanks! 06:39 nore TempUser: I think it does not reduce the number of texture binds, only the number of media files that need to be sent to the client 06:41 TempUser I feared that would be the case. Oh well. Thank you! 06:52 sfan5 TempUser: none of the texture modifiers uses any hardware features 06:52 sfan5 it's all done in software to generate a new texture 06:57 TempUser No way to use real texture atlases? :( What about animated textures? They use an 'atlast' of sorts, though a small one. Maybe a way to use animated textures without the actual animation bit? 06:59 TempUser It's just that it seems like a fairly trivial but useful feature to have performance-wise. I can't help but notice that Minetest had a texture atlas in the past but it was removed. Bugs I think? 07:21 therickster Hey, can someone tell me what minetest.org is? I can't find anything about it and it's pretty odd 07:24 philipbenr It looks like just a blog/half baked website of somebody who uses Minetest. Nothing official I don't think. 07:24 therickster they even have a clone of the minetest.net forums 07:25 therickster and the blog itself looks like it's written by a not so stable person 07:25 philipbenr Or bored 07:27 therickster Well I thought they were just bored until I got to the part of the blog where they accuse an IRC member of being a child molester 07:27 philipbenr Never mind 07:27 philipbenr Look at the dates in the forums 07:27 philipbenr Right about March 31st 07:27 philipbenr It looks to be an april fool joke 07:28 philipbenr That was carried on for a couple days 07:28 therickster http://minetest.org/mtbook.html 07:28 therickster Skim through some of that 07:28 therickster That doesn't look like an april fool's joke to me 07:30 AnotherUser It is not a joke. 07:30 therickster Can you explain what it is, then? 07:31 philipbenr That 07:31 philipbenr ^ 07:31 philipbenr After reading that mtbook section I'm now more curious than I should be 07:32 AnotherUser I am not in a position to explain in detail. 07:33 AnotherUser But I mainly wanted to say that it is definitely not official. 07:33 therickster Well I don't think the actual Minetest people would like to have their website confused with the rambling's of a schizophrenic person 07:35 philipbenr It looks like there are legal implications if it is not a joke... I still don't know why all this is posted out on a public website. Much of this seems like it should be communicated through mail or email or some other private communication. 07:36 sy that site is run by oldcoder 07:36 sy a strange personality 07:36 sy but hes nice 07:37 philipbenr Looks like cornernote also worked on the site. 07:38 philipbenr Regardless, I don't think there is anything the Minetest team can do about it really.. 07:39 therickster A disclaimer somewhere that says it's not an official site? 07:39 AnotherUser if you mean the mtmodding book, I think I have seen that elsewhere. I do remember being surprised to see it on that site, and thought at the time that it must have been a copy. 07:39 therickster Because it took me a while to find the real one 07:39 AnotherUser You will find no such disclaimer. 07:41 philipbenr I don't think it will be so much of a problem. minetest.net and minetest.com are higher up on the search list. 07:41 philipbenr For pretty much all search engines 07:41 therickster It's still rather concerning that I couldn't find anything about it 11:32 rubenwardy Therickster, philipbenr: OldCoder is hostility attacking our community. That's the website he owns where he posts such information 11:33 rubenwardy Because he's hostile he's not going to put a disclaimer 11:33 rubenwardy From his view his Minetest is the official Minetest 11:33 rubenwardy sy, nice years ago, maybe 11:34 sy huh 11:34 rubenwardy All that can be done is being done, so I wouldn't worry about it too much 11:35 sy can i have a tldr of that page 11:35 rubenwardy Lol 11:35 sy well 11:35 sy people go evil over time 11:36 * sy pulls scary face 11:56 rubenwardy AnotherUser: the modding back is under a free license. That site has an outdated version on it. You'll find the official and up to date version at rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book 12:11 Fixer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfH2t2UgjnU 14:19 Jordach got a core compiling error 14:19 Jordach str 14:19 Jordach https://gist.github.com/Jordach/26b652a702c221cd645d47dab96ea48c 19:18 LordBetaX someone online? 19:18 LordBetaX Can someone tell me how do I chage my skin? 19:18 sfan5 you need a mod installed that allows changing skins 19:19 LordBetaX wich mod? 19:19 Krock any skin mod 19:19 LordBetaX ok 19:19 LordBetaX thanks 19:19 Krock http://krock-works.16mb.com/MTstuff/modSearch.php?q=skin 19:19 LordBetaX I that the original developer is online to chat 19:19 LordBetaX thank you 19:19 LordBetaX bye 19:20 Krock !next 19:20 MinetestBot Another satisfied customer.

They might show up 23:01 Fixer Donbatman: sometimes it is hard to assess if it is kid or bot, you join some new server, suddenly smth is following you up, so you start hide and seek, /spawn, hide and seek 23:01 Fixer it is like, I just joined and wanted to look around and something is stalking me 23:03 Fixer something 23:05 rubenwardy lol 23:05 rubenwardy I was making a joke about how some people think players are bots 23:07 Fixer but some people actually think 23:07 paramat botkids 23:07 Fixer not just me 23:07 Fixer here is my account: 23:07 Fixer i've joined jas server when it was at early 0.5.0 iirc 23:07 Fixer there were two players 23:08 Fixer and one was talking in very weird neural network like text (possibly translation on the go?) 23:08 Fixer I even saved screenshot somewhere 23:09 Fixer text was in russian 23:10 Fixer smth like: I will give you a gift Very valuable gift Breath out 23:10 Fixer and then some very weird russian + english + russian part 23:10 Fixer will show where to build EDITING spawner in all boys 23:11 Fixer and iirc there was weird text about that felt like construction work related ad? :S 23:11 Fixer more inclined to think it was some kind of auto translate 23:12 Fixer it is technicly possible to make bots for minetest 23:13 Fixer someone reported weird bot like player behaviour, i think on hometown server 23:14 Fixer https://i.imgur.com/72VKOj9.png 23:47 jas_ Pruner684 still has protected areas on dcbl. 23:47 jas_ https://i.imgur.com/w7Xt6F2.png 23:51 Legends hi 23:51 philipbenr Hi 23:52 Legends how is evryone 23:52 Legends ??? 23:52 philipbenr I don't know about everybody else, but I'm exhausted.
