11:28 lumberJ and in general just taking a break from the annoyances of being on the public list
11:28 lumberJ but it is alive and well. should be back up in 30-40 minutes
11:29 Krock hi. was asking as I've looked a few times on the server list and it wasn't there
11:29 lumberJ yeah, i just took it off for a little break. too many annoying little kids with the holiday break :P
11:37 pgimeno red-F00: re your question in #6863, no, Minetest doesn't include LuaJIT headers; when LuaJIT is requested, it's assumed to be installed by the user

15:34 Beginer looks like map is corrupted: Corruption: corrupted compressed block contents :(
15:36 red-F00 thats some bad luck
15:39 pgimeno red-F00: yeah, that's detected by https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/cmake/Modules/FindLuaJIT.cmake as an external dependency
15:40 pgimeno maybe you meant "include" as in "#include" and not as in "package"
15:41 red-F00 how about we refer to #include as "included", and having it in our code tree as "bundled" from now on to avoid confusion?
15:41 pgimeno yes, sorry
15:42 red-F00 so yes we don't bundle it but I don't see why you can't include the header as long as everything is inside the right preprocessor cases
15:43 pgimeno I meant it's not bundled. Anyway, adding cdata support requires LuaJIT internal includes that are, to my knowledge, not bundled with normal LuaJIT headers.
15:44 pgimeno That's why caused my confusion, because unless LuaJIT is bundled, those headers are not available.
15:46 pgimeno see e.g. https://gist.github.com/rtsisyk/6110709
15:49 pgimeno or https://github.com/AltraMayor/gatekeeper/blob/master/lib/luajit-ffi-cdata.c
15:50 pgimeno (the latter is based on the above, but the includes point to ../dependencies/luajit-2.0/src/lj_* which should make it clearer that they are internal LJ headers)

16:43 quater hello, can I use GMP in lua mod ?
16:44 Krock only if there are extern C functions you can call with FFI
16:44 AndDT joined #minetest
16:45 quater minetest need GMP to compile, is it available for mod ?
16:47 pgimeno not directly; if you've compiled your minetest with LuaJIT enabled, then what Krock said
16:49 quater without LuaJIT, can I access it ?
16:50 Krock minetest.check_password_entry and minetest.get_password_hash  can be accessed from the Lua API. Always.
16:50 Krock These use some GMP functions, if you meant that
16:50 Krock if you want anything else, it can't be done without FFI
16:50 Krock or an engine change, of course
16:53 quater something like: local ffi = require("ffi")
16:54 Krock something like that. if there was no mod security
16:54 Krock with mod security, you'll either have to disable that or add the mod to your trusted_mods setting
16:55 Krock then request the insecure env like this: local ie = minetest.request_insecure_environment() local ffi = ie.require("fii")
16:57 quater ok
16:58 Krock however, after scrolling through the bundled mini-gmp.c I think there's no function you could call from Lua, even with FFI, as they're not marked as extern ones
16:59 pgimeno are they marked as static? if not, I don't see why they can't be called with FFI
17:01 pgimeno using C functions through FFI is not that easy though; you need to basically replicate the C header in the Lua side, sometimes with a few changes

17:03 quater I would like to use/write some cryptographic functions in a mod
17:03 htur brb
17:06 htur joined #minetest
17:07 pgimeno public key?
17:08 pgimeno quater: I mean, public key cryptographic functions?
17:09 red-F00 what for?
17:09 red-F00 pgimeno, can you call c++ functions if you handle the name mangling yourself?
17:11 pgimeno ah sorry, not marked extern "C"
17:11 pgimeno red-F00: yes, if you know the compiler and platform used
17:12 red-F00 but I assume they also have to be extern right?
17:12 red-F00 unless this does some next level magic
17:13 pgimeno at this point I'm not sure, I assumed that the executable had the symbols not marked as static (unless stripped)
17:13 whitephoenix joined #minetest
17:13 red-F00 pgimeno, can ffi set variable values>
17:13 red-F00 *?
17:14 pgimeno red-F00: not sure, I haven't tried to do that
17:15 pgimeno if you can get a pointer to a variable, certainly
17:17 pgimeno e.g. int var; int *var_ptr() { return &var; } then in the LuaJIT side: ffi.cdef 'int *var_ptr();' local var_ptr = ffi.C.var_ptr(); var_ptr[0] = 5
17:18 pgimeno that sets var to 5
17:18 red-F00 I mean obviously it can if you know the address of the variable I was wondering if it also could get the address of extern variables by name
17:20 pgimeno it seems you can, I haven't ever tried it though
17:20 Krock I did some insecure stuff: https://pastebin.com/WXAydxT3 creating an uninitialized pointer array, which then gets modified by C++ to the MapNode data in the Vmanip
17:20 pgimeno "ffi.cdef(def) Adds multiple C declarations for types or external symbols (named variables or functions)."
17:20 pgimeno note "variables"
17:22 pgimeno Krock: cool
17:23 quater yes, to secure the exchanges between players
17:24 rubenwardy it'd probably be easier to find a lua library for this
17:24 red-F00 oh are you the guy that wrote some modifed xor-cryptr for csm>
17:24 red-F00 *?
17:25 sofar rot13
17:25 sofar kek ;-)
17:25 Krock XOR with 0xFF
17:25 quater no, but I am writing something more generale
17:25 Krock * 0x7F
17:25 red-F00 pmr 24 gq uyw zcrrcp
17:26 pgimeno Krock: I'm not sure the double indirection is necessary. Can't the function just return it?
17:27 Krock pgimeno, I wasn't sure whether LuaJIT/FFI would accept that as CDATA
17:27 Krock or do you mean as #2 argument in ffi.new() ?
17:28 pgimeno I mean in the case of MapNode **data, I think the function can return MapNode *VoxelManip_get(void **lvmp)
17:28 * red-F00 waits for mapgens to be leaky
17:29 Krock red-F00, that will result in amazing fast mapgens if done right
17:29 Krock using a struct (as in using the entire MapNode data) seems to slow down LuaJIT quite much
17:30 pgimeno maybe due to cache locality?
17:30 pgimeno I don't know
17:32 Krock array[index1][index2] is the same as array[index1].index2 (used in the script), which is an additional step to get the right value for each coordinate
17:35 pgimeno hm, I expected that to be compiled to very plain code
17:36 red-F00 quater, I don't see the point...

17:47 Krock "madam', sadly we must come and take you to a safe place where you can't harm anyone"
17:47 VanessaE that stroke I had?  lacunar infarct.  very common, caused by a physiological defect in small blood vessels.
17:48 rubenwardy interesting
17:48 rubenwardy what's the chance of it happening again?
17:48 rubenwardy very small I hope
17:49 VanessaE the infarct part, along with the MRI results, suggests I suffered some brain cell death :(
17:49 VanessaE not a huge chance of a relapse, as long as I keep taking my aspirin and statin med.
17:50 VanessaE so, now I'm brain damaged.  I am NOT happy.
17:51 VanessaE they said it damaged a ~15mm section of tissue
17:51 VanessaE they consider that especially small though
17:53 VanessaE one good bit of news though: they said, in no uncertain terms, that it was not caused by diet or lifestyle.
17:54 Darcidride_ joined #minetest
17:56 VanessaE at least I'll recover.  at this point, my left hand is 90% functional, it's just sloppy on the keyboard and a few very fine actions.

18:03 red-F00 don't think so

18:11 VanessaE rubenwardy: regarding the stroke, I am so thankful that I could spot the symptoms before it was too late.

18:15 rubenwardy that's good to hear, VanessaE
18:15 red-F00 yeah
18:17 pgimeno rubenwardy: sorry for neglecting to search before submitting
18:17 rubenwardy np
18:17 rubenwardy github search is a pain anyway
18:18 sofar the new sourceforge
18:19 pgimeno I have the Perlin noise LuaJIT functions almost ready (pending testing). Should I submit them to the same PR or open a new one?
18:19 red-F00 same one
18:19 pgimeno thanks, I wondered because there was already one approval
18:20 red-F00 kinda funny how LuaJIT claims it means you don't have to write bindings to use FFI
18:20 red-F00 it just means it has to be reapproved by that dev
18:20 Krock how's that going to work? perlin noise is ~1 ... ~(-1). FFI only makes it faster when dealing with integers
18:21 red-F00 is no-one able to review #6087 ?
18:21 Krock https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/6087
18:22 red-F00 sorry I'm just kinda annoyed since it was ~half a year since I finished that and all I did in the meantime was rebase it like once
18:22 pgimeno Krock: it's not so much for accelerating it, as it is for being able to do the allocation in memory not restricted by LuaJIT's limits
18:23 Krock if so, then it's an ugly fix. can't we modify a Lua variable pointer (if existent) to our fresh generated array/data?
18:24 red-F00 and moved a list from one part of the code to another a few months ago
18:25 pgimeno Krock: it also uses memcpy or even directly the array, hence a bit faster to access the data (not that that should make much of a difference). I'm not aware of Lua variable pointers, besides LuaJIT cdata.

18:28 pgimeno also, the array is in floats, not doubles
18:39 nepugia hey, asked this some days ago and got no response.. is there some way to tell minetest to crop textures instead of resizing them? i made some bigger textures intended to be placed in formspecs as a progress indicator, it looks rather ugly when the texture gets resized, the correct way would be to crop them imo, i dont see any reason why it schould resize them, ever
18:41 rubenwardy I believe you may be able to do that with texture modifiers
18:41 Krock like the furnace progress arrow?
18:41 rubenwardy it makes sense to resize them as the element is to show an image at that position and size
18:41 rubenwardy although stretching is ew
18:42 nepugia well, i have no other way currently to show textures in a formspec :3
18:43 rubenwardy say you have an 64x16 image foo.png
18:43 rubenwardy [combine:8x16:0,0=foo.png
18:43 rubenwardy should be to crop, I'm not sure
18:43 rubenwardy formspecs such generally
18:43 rubenwardy *suck
18:43 nepugia @krock a bar that increases in size from left to right (i attempted to code right to left aswell, but the width and height parameters or picture[ seem to operate with another scale compared to the x and y position)
18:44 nepugia do i need to calculate the pixels for the image then? formspecs operate on inventory sizes though afaik, how would i get the correct conversion rate
18:45 rubenwardy 1 slot is 64 pixels on a standard screen
18:45 rubenwardy a standard screen is 96 DPI at 800x600 I believe
18:45 nepugia always?
18:45 Krock nepugia, https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/blob/master/mods/default/furnace.lua#L15-L16
18:45 rubenwardy if the DPI increases, the pixel increases
18:45 Krock use lowpart and then rotate
18:45 rubenwardy ah there we are
18:45 rubenwardy Ah!
18:45 rubenwardy I saw lowpart but didn't think to rotate it
18:46 Krock use it after rotating again if you want to chop it from two sides
18:48 nepugia where is this documented? i dont really understand what lowerpart is supposed to do
18:48 rubenwardy https://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/lua_api.html#lowpartpercentfile
18:49 nepugia http://dev.minetest.net/formspec#image
18:49 nepugia doesnt seem to give any info on that
18:49 rubenwardy or  https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L478
18:49 rubenwardy you want texture modifiers
18:49 rubenwardy they're not specific to formspecs
18:49 rubenwardy Basically, lowpart is lower part
18:49 nepugia hmm, my browser sais the certificate expired 13 minutes ago :3
18:49 rubenwardy and it copies the lower % of an image to the texture
18:50 rubenwardy ehat
18:51 nepugia then i would have to calculate the percentage, for which i would need to know the inventory<->pixel thingy
18:51 rubenwardy nepugia, looks like my auto renew failed
18:51 rubenwardy doing it now
18:51 rubenwardy I thought it's a progress bar?
18:52 rubenwardy nepugia, done
18:52 nepugia yes
18:52 rubenwardy surely you'd know the progress if it's a progress bar?
18:54 nepugia my texture is 1080pixels wide, my progress is 30%, now how would i calculate the percentage to cut the image if the area i need to fill is much smaller than 1080px
18:54 nepugia i already know how to tell minetest where to put it, if i now cut it in the wrong place it will be stretched or squezzed
18:54 nepugia and both will look shitty
18:54 rubenwardy use 30% and size the image element so it's 30% of the max (in units
18:54 nepugia (still, beeing able to tell it to just use the image 1:1 and crop off the rest it doesnt need would be a fairly elegant solution)
18:55 nepugia again, i have no idea how many units me image is
18:55 rubenwardy how big is the window?
18:55 nepugia they dont appear to have a fixed conversion rate
18:55 rubenwardy images resize their content
18:55 nepugia how would i know?
18:55 rubenwardy size[w,h]
18:56 rubenwardy sorry, window as in formspec dialog
18:57 nepugia having to querry information about dpi window size to calculate a conversion rate just to be able to put an image into a formspec seems rather overkill to me
18:57 rubenwardy you don't
18:57 sfan5 news flash: formspecs suck ass and should be replaced with a better system at the next possible point
18:57 rubenwardy that too
18:57 nepugia i dont know how big the formspec window is either, i made a utility function to append the progress bars
18:57 rubenwardy but you just need to decide how big the progress bar should be in formspec sizes
18:58 rubenwardy so if the window is size[8;6] you may decide to make the progress bar 7,1
18:58 rubenwardy in which case the image should be of a ratio 7:1
18:58 rubenwardy then when making the formspec, make the progress bar size  7*progress,1
18:58 rubenwardy and crop using lowpart
18:59 nepugia you dont understand me, the image has to be cropped
18:59 nepugia it will look shtity otherwise
18:59 rubenwardy I don't understand you
18:59 rubenwardy what is the image?
18:59 rubenwardy the way I say won't have any stretching, and will crop to the right
18:59 nepugia a texture i made
19:00 nac joined #minetest
19:00 nepugia >news flash: formspecs suck ass and should be replaced with a better system at the next possible point
19:00 nepugia yep, so ill retire modding mintest and come back in three years?
19:00 sfan5 no that's not an option ;)
19:01 nepugia @rubenwardy if i specify a percentage that is too big it will still crop the rest of the image, otherwise there is really no point in specifying a percentage
19:01 rubenwardy well, cap at 100$
19:01 rubenwardy *100%
19:01 rubenwardy then the entire image will be shown in the entire image element
19:01 rubenwardy at 50%, the image element will be half as wide
19:01 rubenwardy but the image will also be cropped to be half as wide
19:01 nepugia i dont want that, i want it to fill the area 1:1
19:02 nepugia and crop the rest
19:02 rubenwardy no possible
19:02 Krock do each step in GIMP and switch the texture each time 8)
19:03 nepugia possible surely, with way too much coding involved (at the lua side anyway).... unless someone made an image[ alternative that cropped
19:03 rubenwardy doesn't help him though, Krock
19:03 Krock s/texture/texture name/
19:03 nepugia @krock well, that would be the same approcah as animating nodes with node_swap, i dont want to spend all my time writing around stuff that the game really schould implemennt itself :/
19:04 VanessaE rubenwardy: no apparent cell death in that stroke.  whew, thank G*d
19:06 pgimeno yay for acting fast :)

19:46 nepugia is there any way to get a callback for when a player wants to acces a blocks formspec?
19:46 nepugia (so i can modify the formspec beforehand)
19:47 sfan5 if that formspec is contained in the metadata, no
19:47 nepugia .-.
19:48 rubenwardy you can use on_rightclick to show the formspec instead
19:48 rubenwardy but there will be latency
19:48 rubenwardy but for your usecase that's fine
19:48 nepugia could i then show the formspec to the players upon them rightclicking the block?
19:48 rubenwardy yes
19:48 soloojos joined #minetest
19:48 nepugia there will be latency... noticeable?
19:49 nepugia i can still use all the formspec functions then?
19:50 rubenwardy depends
19:50 rubenwardy in most cases no
19:50 rubenwardy but it does depend on the player's internet
19:50 nepugia ah, so bugs that definetely wont show up in singleplayer testing, nice
19:50 rubenwardy also, when you use Facebook to monitor certificate registrations on your site: https://i.rubenwardy.com/62ZoeHaP6m.png
19:51 nepugia well, the other option i have is to continiously update the formspec in the background, which seems like a huge waste of ressources
19:53 nepugia what functions would i loose if i use it in on_rightclick then?
19:56 rubenwardy nepugia, nothing
19:57 rubenwardy the only difference between formspecs in meta and show_formspec is the time difference (meta formspecs are shown instantly as the client has them locally) and which callbacks are ran (meta formspecs use a node definition, normal formspecs use a global callback)
20:00 nepugia minetest uses a lua compiler though? if i have a specific static formspec and either store it in node meta or show it as formspec on_rightclick i wouldnt really expect any difference in time
20:00 rubenwardy in singleplayer, no
20:01 rubenwardy only in multiplayer / on a remote server
20:01 rubenwardy as the server needs to send a message with the formspec's content
20:05 nepugia hmm, is there a way to see if a player still has the formspec open (as to update the content while the player still has it open)
20:06 sy joined #minetest
20:07 rubenwardy there's events when they close it
20:07 rubenwardy but that's subject to network latency
20:07 rubenwardy ie: you may sent an update just after they closed it, but before you receive a notification that it was closed
20:07 nepugia i think i can use register fields and on_rightclick for this
20:07 nepugia though, it could lead to some cases where it would reopen it if it was already closed :/
20:07 rubenwardy this is where client-side scripting will be useful, when ready
20:08 * red-F00 complains about security PR's taking a while to review
20:08 * red-F00 hides
20:08 nepugia an option to show the formspec to a player only if they already have it open would mitigate this i suppose
20:09 nepugia i might generate one formspec too much and have it discarded though that would be acceptable :3
20:09 t20kdc red-F00: in core or mods, though...

21:23 quater can I copy the lua environment ?
21:25 red-F00 quater, what do you mean?
21:25 red-F00 if you want a reference to the globals use _G
21:26 quater I would like a copy
21:26 red-F00 you can't just copy tables in lua
21:26 red-F00 quater, how about you tell me what you want to do, and not a solution
21:28 red-F00 you can just do a deep table copy, but there is a good chance thats not what you want to do
21:29 quater setfenv('t = 2', env); with env equals the current environment
21:30 quater and in env, t = 2
21:30 red-F00 then us _G
21:30 red-F00 quater, you trying to sandbox something?
21:30 swift110 joined #minetest
21:31 quater no
21:31 red-F00 oh is this os.setenv?
21:32 quater I can create a environment like env = { _G = _G, pairs = pairs, ... } but I would like to avoid the pairs = pairs and so on
21:33 red-F00 why can't you just use the current enviroment?
21:34 red-F00 quater, just loop over _G and copy stuff
21:35 quater I would like to clean the environment if necessary for a new restart like: setfenv('t = 2', env); env = new_env() and t = nil again

21:37 red-F00 well you can use table.copy
21:37 red-F00 but really there shouldn't be any reason to do this
21:38 red-F00 env_bck = table.copy(_G)
21:40 red-F00 oh and make sure to change what _G points to in that table
21:40 red-F00 env_bck._G = env_bck
21:40 EvergreenTree joined #minetest
21:40 red-F00 wait
21:42 red-F00 I'm not sure if table.copy handles that
21:42 rubenwardy table.copy looks for recursion
21:42 rubenwardy and will reuse the copied value
21:42 red-F00 ah
21:42 red-F00 so no need to do that then
21:43 quater the gist seems to work fine, I will do more tests
21:43 red-F00 quater, why are you restoring the globals from a backup?
21:44 red-F00 why not just stop your code from messing them up in the first place?
21:44 red-F00 huh

21:52 sfan5 10k€ :D?
21:52 Fusl more
21:53 Fusl i'd say around 50k
21:53 red-F00 you might have to redirect some minetest tables
21:53 red-F00 huh you had a decent idea to start off with
21:54 red-F00 if this is not meant just for running code, but for testing a mod
21:54 Fusl a standard .pa dom already costs ~500€

23:23 red-F00 in all seriousness we should just let the user set a storeage size limit
23:23 sofar csm storage should be per server

23:23 rubenwardy no, timeout
23:23 red-F00 you would know if you got kicked
23:24 red-F00 sofar, not worth implementing that till we get around to having the server send the mods but yes it should be
23:25 red-F00 also we should use a database for all modstorage
23:26 red-F00 if we do make it per-server it would be nice to also give server guid's
