XD 00:52 riff-IRC Bakerprime: try filling the area with a solid object and removing the solid objects 00:52 LazyJ BakerPrime: Try planting a default:sapling near the center of the shadow and allow it to grow on its own (with a bit of help from a mese lamp). 00:52 riff-IRC ah ok 00:52 riff-IRC Hey LazyJ 00:52 LazyJ Howdy riff-IRC ;) 00:52 riff-IRC How's the server? 00:59 LazyJ riff-IRC, splitting the same conversation across multiple channels is confusing. 00:59 riff-IRC oh ok 01:00 swift110 lol LazyJ 01:01 Shara It's what riff does :) 01:06 riff-IRC yup 01:07 riff-IRC I can probably manage to split it even more, but not going to 01:08 swift110 ok 03:55 BakerPrime LazyJ/Riff-IRC: Thanks guys, I will keep that in mind next time the issue occurs. :D 03:56 BakerPrime I got it worked out with my usual methods already, but sometimes I have some really stuborn ones. 04:38 redblade7 hi 12:42 Beginer Hello, is it possible to set different path to debug.txt? I want debug_.txt for each server. 12:45 VanessaE --logfile 12:45 Krock minetestserver --logfile 12:45 Krock these ninjas.. 12:45 VanessaE heh 12:48 Beginer oh yeah! i was looking for "debug" keyword in help section *facepalm* Thank you! 13:07 pleaseHelpMe hello, I need some help setting up a minetest server over Ubuntu via SSH. I'm new at this and need a server for a research project. I'm receiving an error that my port may already be in use and the server attempts to start at address 0.0.0.0 13:07 pleaseHelpMe if anybody could help I would really appreciate it! 13:15 sfan5 pleaseHelpMe: try setting a different port in the minetest.conf 13:15 sfan5 like port = 30001 13:16 pleaseHelpMe okay, will do. Is the path something along the lines of ~/.minetest/minetest.conf? 13:16 sfan5 depends on how you installed the server 13:16 pleaseHelpMe I used sudo apt-get install minetest-server 13:17 pleaseHelpMe thank you for the reply btw 13:19 pleaseHelpMe that file contains one line, server_dedicated = true, should it have more? 13:20 sfan5 no that suffices in theory 13:20 sfan5 try adding a line with port = 30001 there 13:20 pleaseHelpMe okay! 13:21 sfan5 it's also possible that the minetest server is already running 13:22 pleaseHelpMe I've wondered about that, but this is a fresh install 13:22 pleaseHelpMe is there a way I could check? 13:23 pleaseHelpMe I've added the port line to minetest.conf but it's still trying to listen on port 30000. Also getting an address already in use error. Should the address be showing as 0.0.0.0? 13:23 sfan5 then it's not using the config file you edited 13:23 sfan5 to check look at the process list: ps auxw 13:24 pleaseHelpMe no minetestserver process running 13:25 pleaseHelpMe alright, so I need to find the actual config file? 13:25 sfan5 yea 13:25 sfan5 how are you trying to start it 13:26 pleaseHelpMe minetestserver --info, trying to follow the wiki 13:26 pleaseHelpMe can I in theory make a new config file and specify the path? 13:26 sfan5 yes 13:27 pleaseHelpMe that might be a better solution 13:27 pleaseHelpMe let me try it! 13:27 pleaseHelpMe okay, set it to that file I edited before. Now it says listening on 30001! 13:28 pleaseHelpMe it's staying on the terminal at that line, is this normal? 13:30 pleaseHelpMe when I can, should I also set the address line to be the address of the vm I'm using? 13:36 sfan5 no that's not needed 13:36 sfan5 yes that's normal 13:36 sfan5 you can use a program like tmux if you want to background it 13:36 pleaseHelpMe I'll look into that 13:37 pleaseHelpMe to clarify, the last line I'm seeing is "listening on 0.0.0.0:3001" after setting the config file 13:38 pleaseHelpMe that's correct? 13:39 sfan5 sounds correct 13:39 pleaseHelpMe thank you so much! 13:40 pleaseHelpMe If I need any more help I'll swing back. Also, when the research project is ready would it be okay to come and talk about it here? 13:41 sfan5 sure 13:41 pleaseHelpMe thanks again 13:42 pleaseHelpMe will this only stay running as long as I'm ssh'd in? 13:42 sfan5 yes 13:42 sfan5 either set it up as a proper service or use tmux as I mentioned 13:43 pleaseHelpMe excellent. 13:51 Beginer uhm, my other mtserver instance says: "ERROR[CurlFetch]: servers.minetest.net/announce not found (HTTP response code said error) (response code 500)" 14:22 Beginer now it says: response code 418 14:23 sfan5 uhhu lemme take a look 14:25 sfan5 Beginer: shouldn't happen again 14:28 Beginer sfan5, thank you! now it works 18:55 nepugia Hey, for fomspecs if i use image[] the image gets transformed to the size i specify, is there an alternative where the image gets cropped? 19:36 Open_Future Hi All, is there a way to make a map of Canada? 19:54 Open_Future anyone? 19:56 VanessaE you could try talking to a cartographer :P 19:57 VanessaE minetest's map is only 62km on a side so the best you could do is try to model one of the smaller provinces, maybe PEI or so 19:58 Krock https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=12666 19:58 Krock ^ Open_Future 19:59 Open_Future Is there no way to use actual map data for say Canada to generate a realistic although scaled map 20:00 Open_Future Krock most if that info is old, youtube video no longer up, and I still cant make sense of what they are doing 20:00 Krock I remember that there was a project to generate the moon terrain (I guess) from collected data 20:02 Fixer VanessaE: map can be resized to 62x62 km and then that tool above can handle that 20:02 VanessaE Fixer: sure, but then it wouldn't be ralistic 20:02 VanessaE +e 20:03 Fixer VanessaE: too large, can be done in minecraft though 20:07 Krock real maps would fail in mc as you've only 256m Y space 20:11 VanessaE isn't it more like 64m, with the rest being below sea level? 20:14 Krock no idea.. never played it 20:37 Open_Future I'm over my head on this. But as a teacher, I can tell you that I could sure use a map of Canada in social studies with my grade 3 and 4 students. Wish someone with more expertise could help. 20:40 Open_Future Maybe this could help http://maps.canada.ca/czs/index-en.html 20:49 Krock generating terrain in Minetest isn't a thing but reading the source format and converting it to nodes is the challenge 20:57 Sokomine Open_Future: trouble is: even if you could generate such a map - there'd be no client that could actually *see* it. the client only loads a few mapblocks and sees a small part of the world 20:59 Sokomine Open_Future: i mean...you can take real map data, scale it down and apply it to a mapgen. but your clients would still see only such a small part of the world that it'd be almost indistinguishable from any other terrain. it's like seeing the map of canada if you just stand somewhere in the land and look around. unless someone placed a map there you'll see only a tiny bit 20:59 Sokomine Open_Future: perhaps *really* scaling it down to a very small size (maybe 1000 blocks in each direction) could help and really visualize things. otherwise...it's too big to be seen 21:04 Open_Future okay i tried something different, i went for map data for our immediate local area. Here is the format: Job details : Job id : 25043 Product : Point data / Données ponctuelles Data source : Canadian Digital Surface Model / Modèle numérique de surface du Canada Output format : CSV Reference coordinate system : EPSG:4617 Resolution : 0.75 arc seconds / 0.75 arc secondes 21:04 Open_Future Can I do something with this now? 21:05 Open_Future CSV reference coordinate system 21:07 Sokomine Open_Future: if the format is well documented (guess it is?), then i think so, yes 21:07 Krock plain text? the must be a huge file - but easier to read from Lua 21:07 Krock s/the/that/ 21:08 Open_Future want to see the file Krock? I can make it available as a link....6.2mb as zip file 21:08 Sokomine i have no idea how many actual points there'll be at a resolution of 0.75 arc secons. i know what it stands for in general but have no conception of the actual resolution 21:09 Sokomine hm. that's not too big. you might just load it and apply it to the map for an extra mapgen 21:10 Open_Future i dont know how to do that 21:10 Sokomine there are two ways: change/create the map with an external program (sofar mentionned that) or do it ingame with a mod that implements a new mapgen 21:11 Open_Future https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FRz2430etial9Z3ZLH4b7zbuVWVLVH1z 21:11 Sokomine depends a bit on how large the data structure you have will actually be 21:13 Sokomine how large do you want the map to be ingame? 1 point = 1 mapnode? 21:13 Sokomine er, 1 point = 1 m? figure out how much data you have; analyze your data 21:14 Open_Future the point data file is 8 mb here it is https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-G0av44F-Wpgbu-G9HMb_ahVdrrHOhZ9 21:17 sofar Open_Future: I suppose I can just convert a map for you 21:17 sofar or do you have specific requirements for scale? 21:18 sofar lemme show you some screenshots of the result 21:18 Open_Future ok, really appreciate this 21:20 Open_Future the map data is basically for our local area...so that part would be cool for the students to help create our downtown etc. 21:22 sofar it'll take me a sec to find a recognizable spot 21:22 sofar since 70% is water, lol 21:27 sofar https://i.imgur.com/3tJQ7jo.jpg 21:27 sofar no idea where that is yet, lol 21:28 Open_Future we are near lake huron 21:29 sofar this is a whole earth map 21:29 Open_Future now what process did you use to make that..... 21:30 sofar once I find out where I am on the earth, I'll be able to find anything quickly, lmao 21:30 sofar `mcimport` 21:30 Open_Future so you ran mcimport on the csv file? 21:30 sofar no, this is converted from someone who made a MC map off world data 21:31 sofar they also used vegetation and soil data so you get an actual somewhat realistic result 21:31 Open_Future cool 21:44 sofar https://i.imgur.com/R3Jj8TP.png brazil coastline from 1000 height 21:50 sofar this map is so large 21:50 sofar I just get lost 21:50 sofar finally made it to the carribbean, lol 21:52 sofar https://i.imgur.com/e2Upeh2.jpg 21:53 Krock cute island 21:53 redblade7 hi 21:53 redblade7 does anyone know if the official android client knows param2 dyes? 21:53 redblade7 param2 wood and clay i mean 21:53 redblade7 because someone told me they saw white wood 21:53 redblade7 i know with desktoip, the latest version is fine 21:53 redblade7 0.4.16 21:54 redblade7 but i dont know what the official phone client uses 21:54 redblade7 or if she's using a fake 21:58 sofar Open_Future: almost there, want a live feed? I can stream my exploratin, lol 22:00 sofar err, how do I see my own live stream url, lmao 22:00 sofar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QUNKtk5ex4 22:00 sofar Open_Future: take a look ^^ 22:06 sofar Open_Future: at the Hudson bay atm 22:07 Open_Future ok 22:09 Open_Future ok im watching you 22:10 Open_Future so hudson bay lowlands are right next to hudson bay, then artic tundra etc north of that 22:10 Open_Future west coast are Mountains 22:10 Open_Future south of hudson bay is candiaen shield and great lakes regions 22:10 Open_Future yeah that hudson bay 22:11 sofar yep, anyway, that's the scale of this map 22:11 sofar you can see the projection used causes deformation up north a lot 22:12 sofar the whole map is 1.3gb compressed 22:12 Open_Future well that would be good 22:12 Open_Future is there anyway you can get just Canada out of that 22:12 sofar there are methods to prune it down to a certain section 22:12 sofar yes 22:13 sofar I wrote some code already to do this quickly 22:13 Open_Future like if you did west coats, great lakes, and east coast Nova Scotia, Newfoundland that would be great 22:13 sofar with some small mods I can make it cut any region 22:13 Open_Future here is link to map or area I would ideally like to have 22:13 sofar the USA one I did (48 lower states) ended up 200mb compressed 22:13 sofar which worked out OK 22:14 Open_Future http://www.craigmarlatt.com/canada/images/images&downloads/map_phys.jpg 22:14 sofar I did that one for a school as well :) 22:14 sofar yeah, I saw your image on the forum 22:14 sofar I've got some new years calls to make atm 22:14 Open_Future Well it would be super if you could do Canada....I would put the map somewhere where others could use it too and give you the credit.... 22:15 sofar it'll take me some time to do this, ofc 22:15 Open_Future okay, let me give you an email address you could contact me with if you like 22:15 Open_Future elston_gunn@ymail.com 22:16 sofar ok, afk a bit 22:17 Open_Future thanks a million
