03:48 benrob0329   GreenDimond: glad to see that old DW mod get resurrected :P
07:59 jas_         ok ashtrayoz
08:00 jas_         lol
08:00 ashtrayoz    Welcome!
08:00 ashtrayoz    Multiple screens here, I get lost in the layers sometimees.
08:01 ashtrayoz    If you want you can look at https://gist.github.com/ashtrayoz/aad4a50d31b5dc8d0e0c0f9992d8e178
08:01 jas_         ok ty
08:14 jas_         sweet it works thanks ashtrayoz
08:16 ashtrayoz    Glad to be of service.
08:16 ashtrayoz    Need another positive review to get it merged :-)
08:16 jas_         i'm not comfortable reviewing code, but i am happy to report results.
08:16 ashtrayoz    That's still helpful.
08:16 jas_         well i'll do that now
08:18 ashtrayoz    I imagine that the name of the callback could change, or its arguments, before it is merged.
08:18 ashtrayoz    Depends on what the core developers see as the future of the lua API.
08:19 jas_         on_fall?  or something?  what would you call it ?
08:19 ashtrayoz    Could be, maybe on_drop()
08:19 jas_         on_detach?! haha
08:19 jas_         yea but that is close to item_drop
08:19 jas_         so might suppose the Q button..
08:20 ashtrayoz    Hmm, there is already a use for "on_drop", so it won't be that.
08:20 jas_         so it's for attached_node=1, so that's why i suggested on_detach
08:21 ashtrayoz    That is what is is needed for.  But it also works for dug nodes.
08:21 ashtrayoz    You can code around the problem for dug nodes, which is what my stuff currently does.
08:21 jas_         oh so i might be able to reduce code
08:21 ashtrayoz    But this makes life easier.
08:22 ashtrayoz    Yep!
08:22 jas_         cool beans.
08:22 ashtrayoz    s/is/this/
08:24 jas_         nice, thanks again!
08:24 ashtrayoz    Happy to share.  I have some books that need this, so it will make my life easier if it is merged.
08:24 ashtrayoz    Otherwise I will have to port patches into the future on my server.
08:25 ashtrayoz    And, of course, sharing the code has resulted in better code.
08:25 jas_         nice, i have been meaning to fix my broken placeable books
08:25 jas_         so i'm glad i waited
08:25 jas_         (they used to work heehhe)
08:25 ashtrayoz    The original version had a few potentially bad side-effects which paramat pointed out.
08:27 ashtrayoz    Gotta go now, places to be.
08:27 jas_         okie dokie, ttyl
08:27 ashtrayoz    Have fun!
14:57 Dom_         hi
15:57 MinetestBot  luizsab: Oct-10 13:42 UTC <Krock> streets mod alternative: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=13904
16:02 luizsab      hello. I did'nt can to do a sofa with homedecor sofa. Some idea?
16:19 Dargod       I'm wrong, or the creative mod in minestest_game does not contain API?
16:21 sfan5        what kind of api are you looking for
16:22 Dargod       I am about creative.register_tab()
16:22 Dargod       I trued using this function but probably its don't works
16:22 Dargod       I mean on third-party mod
16:27 * twoelk     never knew enough mods to fill a third party
17:39 blackGen     hey, is there a way to "force" node placement when using minetest.place_node? I'd normally use add_node, but I need this to be aware of any kinds of placement restrictions (protected areas, mg_villages plots, etc)
17:40 blackGen     Right now I'm trying to use place_node with default torch, but it needs correct param2
17:42 blackGen     Can somebody explain to me what param2 for wallmounted is?
17:44 blackGen     Reference tells that param2 for wallmounted stores rotation of the node
17:45 blackGen     But whenever I'm using rotation using minetest.dir_to_wallmounted(), it actually places the torch perpendicularily to the wall (while in game it it's placed somewhat in 45 degrees pointing to up)
17:50 sfan5        you need to use a default:torch_wall to get the "real" wall-placed torch
17:50 blackGen     Ah so it's another node?
17:51 sfan5        yes
17:54 blackGen     Thanks. So param2 for wallmounted are just 6 values that determine its orientation?
17:55 sfan5        yes
18:47 Krock        ~seen numzero
18:47 ShadowBot    Krock: I saw numzero in #minetest 4 weeks, 1 day, 1 hour, 57 minutes, and 10 seconds ago saying "thus your previous calculations seem right actually"
19:32 Dargod       in what form is the information stored in minetest.registered_nodes ?
19:32 ThomasMonroe hi Dargod
19:33 Dargod       hello ThomasMonroe
19:33 rubenwardy   Dargod, the def from register_node
19:33 ThomasMonroe a table i would assume
19:33 rubenwardy   so a table
19:35 Dargod       if this is a table, then why, when I try to determine its length (print(#minetest.registered_nodes)) I get 0
19:36 Krock        because it's indexed by strings not by numbers
19:37 Krock        iterate through the entire table to get the total count
19:38 Dargod       hmm, How do I create my own similar table?
19:40 Krock        local my_table = table.copy(minetest.registered_nodes)
19:41 Dargod       I am need table with only certain blocks
19:41 Dargod       *nodes
19:43 Krock        local my_table = {}  for k in pairs({"node:name1", "another:name", "foo:bar"}) do my_table[k] = table.copy(minetest.registered.nodes[k] or {})
19:43 Krock        end -- there you go
20:00 Dargod       Krock, table created, but it seems still not in the form
20:00 Dargod       *same
20:00 Krock        keep trying. I'm going off now. good luck
