Hello, Minetest isn't registering Homedecor, but it is registering the other mods along side it (signs_lib, fake_fire, Lrfurn) etc. I have tried different versions of the mod and also tried the (modpack?) If anyone could help me that would be wonderful. :) |
| 01:53 |
pgimeno |
anything in the logs? |
| 01:54 |
samson1 |
I haven't seen anything to do with the logs, where can I find the logs? (I'm new to this stuff. :\ |
| 01:56 |
pgimeno |
does a terminal window open when you open minetest? if there's something, it might be there |
| 01:56 |
|

pgimeno |
is that windows btw? |
| 01:58 |
samson1 |
Mmm, there isn't much to do with mod loading, but there are an awful lot of errors to do with get_look_pitch and get_look_yaw. |
| 02:00 |
nepugia |
@samson1 is the mod VanessaE's Home Decor modpack? |
| 02:00 |
samson1 |
Hang on, just testing something. |
| 02:02 |
samson1 |
No, it's not, I copied and pasted the mods from the dreambuild modset, but the strange thing is that if I copy the whole mod folder contents and paste them into my mods folder Homedecor works perfectly fine, could it be that I have overlooked or missed something? |
| 02:04 |
nepugia |
maybe you are missing a required dependency of the mod, check depends.txt in the mod folder |
| 02:04 |
samson1 |
Ahh, thanks. :) |
| 02:05 |
pgimeno |
the UI should also tell you the dependencies |
| 02:05 |
pgimeno |
and the log should display an error (above the minetest banner, usually) |
| 02:08 |
pgimeno |
I don't know where debug.txt is usually, I'm on linux and I use the portable version so it's always in the current dir, no idea where it can be located for other users, especially without knowing your OS |
| 02:09 |
Cornelia |
If installed on Linux, debug.txt is under ~/.Minetest/ |
| 02:09 |
Cornelia |
*minetest |

samson1 |
I know what you mean, Ubuntu broke on my desktop so I used windows10 for a while, it's like living on the moon for years then moving to Pluto |
| 02:10 |
Cornelia |
On Windows, it looks like it will be under the install directory for the non-portable version |
| 02:10 |
nepugia |
what is debug.txt anyway? |
| 02:11 |
Cornelia |
A whole lotta debug information... |
| 02:11 |
samson1 |
What ever it is, it's 684.8MBs for me... |
| 02:11 |
Cornelia |
Looks like anything that was logged is put there. |
| 02:11 |
Cornelia |
Yikes. |
| 02:11 |
pgimeno |
it contains a copy the text that goes to the console - appended to it every time you run it |
| 02:12 |
Cornelia |
Gawd. |
| 02:12 |
pgimeno |
I xz it from time to time |
| 02:12 |
nepugia |
so a logfile basically, debug.txt is a strange name for a logfile :) |
| 02:12 |
nepugia |
i will remember to rm it from time to time ;) or just rm it touch it and chmod 000 it |
| 02:13 |
samson1 |
I don't think I can open it, it's to large. |

'less' usually opens things fine (but going to the end may take a while) |

I don't know, but since reinstalling Xubuntu is extreamly unstable. |

6th crash in a week now. |

Probably, Nvidia drivers are making a lot of problems as well, It seems like 16.4 is more stable than 17.10. xD |
| 02:32 |

I use 16.04 LTS Ubuntu. |

Oh, what mods would you recommend for a multiplayer server toward survival and building? I'm just interested. :) |

I haven't messed around much with mods. :p |

Been trying to get into it since I first found Minetest. Only ever played with minetest_game |
| 02:38 |
Cornelia |
I did find the "torches" mod nice. It adds a light to player held torches |
| 02:38 |
samson |
I really like the Torch mod. :) |
| 02:38 |
Cornelia |
Hardtorch makes torches limited.. may or may not be fun. |
| 02:38 |
Cornelia |
(I was looking at torch mods :p ) |
| 02:39 |
samson |
:D |
| 02:39 |
Cornelia |
And you may want a mobs mod so that you have something to fight. |
| 02:39 |
samson |
Oh, I have zombies, i'm just not sure it suits my server. :\ |
| 02:39 |
Cornelia |
I haven't fiddled with any mods other than the two I listed. |
| 02:40 |
Cornelia |
I'm in the middle of making one right now. :P |
| 02:40 |
samson |
Nice! :) |
| 02:41 |
Cornelia |
If all goes well.. and work and school starting up next week doesn't slow me down.. it may be finished before February! :D |
| 02:41 |
samson |
Ever since I started fiddle.cc my head has been tangled in mods, but I learned quite quickly that the more mods you add the more errors you get. :D |
| 02:41 |
samson |
Good for you! What is the mod aiming at? |
| 02:42 |
Cornelia |
Well, I wasn't happy with the design of the crafting guide mods I looked at.. so I'm making an API that makes making guidebooks a cinch. |
| 02:42 |
samson |
Nice! |
| 02:42 |
Cornelia |
And will add a few guides: crafting, tools, nodes, items. |
| 02:43 |
samson |
What are you planning on the mod being called? I will use it on my server if you don't mind. :) |
| 02:43 |
Cornelia |
Unoriginal, but: guidebooks :p |
| 02:43 |
samson |
:P |
| 02:45 |
samson |
There, I have made a world reminding me about the mod, I'm sure I wonder wonder why I named the world "remember about mod called guidebooks" in a weeks time. :D |
| 02:45 |
Cornelia |
I dunno if I'll have it done by then but I've been making a lot of progress. :P |
| 02:45 |
Cornelia |
Hardest thing to wrap my head around was formspecs |
| 02:46 |
samson |
Oh, well maybe you can try and work out how "playeranim" is written. :D |
| 02:47 |
samson |
My Dad and I were trying to make it work like Minecraft but it's setup is really weird.. |
| 02:47 |
Cornelia |
Oh goodness.. |
| 02:47 |
samson |
But I think I like it how it is. (half broken) |
| 02:48 |
samson |
The player has an extreamly stiff neck with full view over their left shoulder. :D |
| 02:49 |
Cornelia |
Wow.. yea.. that shouldn't be a mod, it should be in engine.. animations will definitely be slow when doing them like that |
| 02:49 |
samson |
Oh, very. |
| 02:50 |
samson |
I'm thinking about removing it all together until we have time to look at it properly. |
| 02:50 |
Cornelia |
Is neat, though. |
| 02:50 |
samson |
Unless I pinch some code from Mojang, they might notice though. xD |
| 02:51 |
Cornelia |
That Java to C++ / Lua port, though. :P |
| 02:51 |
samson |
Mhumm. |
| 02:51 |

| 02:54 |

Well, it has been nice talking; I need to sort through more mods then get some sleep I think. Thanks for the chat. :) |

So I have it indexed in my brain a bit and could maybe help you with your problem. |
| 04:31 |
Haven_ |
Well ya see friend |
| 04:31 |

I have succesfully overwritten all of the doors "b" states, but for some reason, can't overwrite anything in the "_a" states |
| 04:32 |
Haven_ |
https://pastebin.com/5d9YGP9r |
| 04:32 |
Haven_ |
I even changed the if statements to work on everything but grass (so I wouldn't fall) and it STILL wouldn't overwrite the doors darned boxes. |
| 04:32 |
Haven_ |
My trees and stone now have the correct door boxes though... |
| 04:33 |
Cornelia |
That is.. interesting... |
| 04:34 |
Haven_ |
Yeah, my problem exactly. |

Why don't you get the node data via "minetest.registered_nodes", and save a local copy |
| 04:34 |
Haven_ |
And it works if I just put the boxes in the init.lua of the doors mod in the minetest game, but I don't want to do that because compatibility :( |
| 04:35 |
Cornelia |
Then, modify that and use node overriding to override by "recreating" the definition |
| 04:35 |
Cornelia |
I.e. minetest.register_node(":default:door", updated_definition) |
| 04:37 |
Cornelia |
I'm not familiar with that minetest.override_item function |

| 04:39 |
Haven_ |
Thanks for the help. Something's happening, now I just need to figure out what... |
| 04:41 |
Cornelia |
Is the a part the top part of the door? |
| 04:41 |
Haven_ |
No, the a and b are the two different states of the door, open or closed |
| 04:42 |
Haven_ |
But hold up one second I think I've nearly got it |
| 04:48 |
Haven_ |
Well okay I think that's working but I don't really know why that would and not override_item |
| 04:48 |
Haven_ |
Thanks a bunch! |
| 04:50 |
Cornelia |
*shrugs* |
| 04:51 |
Cornelia |
override_item should just do the fields you specify |
| 04:51 |
MarisaG |
easy question that i forgot the answer to - how do i enable mods on the server only version of minetest? |
| 04:51 |

My guess is it was failing for some reason? |

what is this "[off]" for? |
| 16:42 |
red-001 |
stops the bot from logging it |

since that pretty offtopic |
| 16:43 |

oh signing up is back |

maybe wiki stuff will get fixed then |

it's mostly topics like https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19165 for me |
| 16:49 |

we already have enough offtopic on irc |
| 16:50 |
Wuzzy |
a lot of topics are still ontopic |
| 16:50 |
Wuzzy |
but i woulnd say MC-vs-MT battles are off topic. although i find them annoying, too. XD |
| 16:51 |
Krock |
red-001, not all forumers are on IRC, which results in their need to open such discussions in the forum |
| 16:51 |
Wuzzy |
what worries me most is the Bugs and Problems forum https://forum.minetest.net/viewforum.php?f=6 |
| 16:51 |
Wuzzy |
if devs ignore the forums this Bugs forums is probably just a huge waste of time :( |
| 16:51 |
red-001 |
yep |
| 16:51 |
Wuzzy |
why do you keep it open then? |
| 16:51 |
red-001 |
the bug reporting message should be changed to report on github |
| 16:51 |
Wuzzy |
dont give players a false impression they are being listened to :( |
| 16:52 |
red-001 |
I don't run the forums |
| 16:52 |
Wuzzy |
well maybe players don't know this?! |
| 16:52 |
red-001 |
but yeah dunno why we have that forum section |
| 16:53 |
red-001 |
a bunch of the stuff there is user error so it's useful for that, but bug reports should go to github |
| 16:53 |
red-001 |
e.g. using windows to host a server |
| 16:54 |
Wuzzy |
well maybe it could be just renamed |
| 16:54 |
Wuzzy |
instead of "Bugs and Problems" just "Problems" or "Support" |
| 16:54 |
red-001 |
"Tech support" |
| 16:54 |
Wuzzy |
also, a sticky thread pointing to GitHub would be very important |
| 16:55 |

Wuzzy: unfortunately, MediaWiki spam protection is really bad, so it's the only reasonable possibility for a public wiki |
| 17:10 |
Calinou |
(manually registering users) |
| 17:10 |
Calinou |
an alternative is letting users register, and require approval for their first edit |
| 17:10 |
|
SmugLeaf joined #minetest |

but I'd need administrator access to set that up |
| 17:10 |

(plus, you'd have spam users clog up your database with registrations, but these can be periodically pruned) |
| 17:11 |
Wuzzy |
Calinou: so you're not admin?! |
| 17:11 |
Wuzzy |
oops... |
| 17:11 |

well manually registering users sounds reasonable, but this is useless if users have to wait for month. xD |

Wuzzy: I have "administrator" access on the wiki, but no access to the server or database, that's what I meant |

I know Wikipedia blocks edits through Tor (I'm affected by that) |
| 17:19 |
pgimeno |
and other open proxies, I believe |
| 17:20 |

Wikipedia has huge resources too |
| 17:20 |

i'm not too happy with the Tor block as well |

but i'm not a serious Wikipedia editor anyway |

my last edit was many years ago |
| 17:21 |

Calinou: would a CAPTCHA work? |
| 17:24 |
pgimeno |
I made this in PHP long ago. Never used it. http://www.formauri.es/personal/pgimeno/temp/captcha/distort.php |
| 17:25 |
pgimeno |
The bounds check need correction in some cases. |

pgimeno |
s/need/needs/ |
| 17:27 |
Wuzzy |
sometimes, even a little quiz question like "Who created Minetest?" works wonders. |
| 17:28 |
Wuzzy |
at least this keeps all fully-automated spam out |
| 17:28 |
pgimeno |
that depends on the popularity, if there's enough interest then the captcha solution(s) may end up in a spammer tool database |
| 17:29 |
Wuzzy |
i dont believe wiki.minetest.net is popular enough |
| 17:29 |
Wuzzy |
well it still keeps a large chunk out because now spammers have to tailor it specifically for this one wiki |
| 17:30 |
Wuzzy |
could be combined with other methods if needed |
| 17:30 |
Wuzzy |
well we cant know if it works if it isnt at least tried :P |

possible causes 1) outdated Minetest version. get 0.4.16 or newer. 2) call it on-load, not in any callback |

core == minetest == minetest.env, that's not a problem |

how do you cause it? |

yes |

that sounds like you're trying to connect to a server without choosing a username |

if in doubt, check "minetest --version" in your cmd window |

minetest can only link to a single lua library, this is not changeable at runtime |

Hello everyone, I'm new. I've started a new server and I need as many people to play it as possible to test how many players it can handle. It should be as many as 60 but I want to run a test tomorrow and just get as many people in as possible. Would it be okay to announce this in the "servers" board on the forums? |

okay neat. Just don't want to step on any toes. |
| 21:58 |
MrResearch |
This server is for a research project I'm running, so I just wanna run it by people who know better lol |
| 21:59 |
MrResearch |
http://joshuaclay.co.uk/craftingpeopleproject.html take a look if anybody is interested |
| 22:03 |
red-001 |
0.4.16 right? |
| 22:03 |
MrResearch |
that's right! |
| 22:03 |
MrResearch |
do you think I should specify that somewhere? |
| 22:04 |
Shara |
Can be difficult, expecially for new servers, to get a large number of players at a time. |
| 22:05 |
MrResearch |
I don't doubt that at all. In the long run I only need a few at a time since this is a long-term project and to get useful data I only need about 30 over the entire lifespan |
| 22:05 |
Shara |
I think it's only worth specifically mentioning version if you use the development version, since that breaks compatibility. So in your case, no need. |
| 22:05 |
MrResearch |
but I have a pretty high-end server setup so it would be nice to know an appropriate player cap |
| 22:05 |
MrResearch |
okay, noted |
| 22:05 |
red-001 |
you could try and ask a server owner to host the mods you need |
| 22:05 |
Shara |
Those numbers, if not all at once, should be easy |
| 22:06 |
MrResearch |
Right now I'm just testing stability to make sure I didn't mess anything up in creating the server |
| 22:06 |
Shara |
Though you might get a lot of people who connect and just disconnect right away (app users who time out easy) |
| 22:06 |
red-001 |
hey I guess thats a type of player |
| 22:06 |
MrResearch |
tomorrow I want to stress test, then implement protection mods, then I'll be hosting my tools |
| 22:06 |
Shara |
I'm not sure if someone who doesn't actually play at all counts as a player :) |
| 22:07 |
red-001 |
well it depends on what you want to apply the data to |
| 22:07 |
MrResearch |
obviously I've never hosted a server before, so is there anything I should do before I start properly? Anything I should know? |
| 22:07 |
MrResearch |
I want it to be the most "vanilla" experience possible, but mobs will be important |
| 22:07 |
red-001 |
try avoiding chaging the mapgen after starting a server |
| 22:08 |
Shara |
Well, resist the urge to add every mod that looks interesting without figuring out exactly what it does and whether it has problems. That seems to often be the biggest new server mistake. |
| 22:09 |
red-001 |
oh and if it's not a survial oriented server give fast by default |
| 22:09 |
MrResearch |
I want to keep it to a minimum since it's important that the data is pretty neutral |
| 22:09 |
MrResearch |
okay, noted |
| 22:09 |
Shara |
MTG by itself is boring, more of a base than a game experience. You won't hold player attention well if you don't add mods. |
| 22:09 |
MrResearch |
Is there a recommended mobs mod? |
| 22:10 |
Shara |
mobs redo seems to be the most used |
| 22:10 |
red-001 |

https://github.com/tenplus1/mobs_redo |
| 22:10 |
MrResearch |
thank you very much |
| 22:10 |
Shara |
But that won't add them directly. |
| 22:10 |
Shara |
The actual mobs come in seperate mods that utilise that |
| 22:10 |
MrResearch |
gotcha |
| 22:11 |
Shara |
https://github.com/tenplus1/mobs_monster is a good start for actual mobs |
| 22:11 |
Shara |
Are you planning to stop hosting after you have what you need, or keep it going after? |
| 22:11 |
red-001 |
MrResearch, not sure what sort of data you are interested in but if whatever a client is using pc or a mobile client then setting up a media sever and collecting user agent strings is a good way to do that |
| 22:11 |
MrResearch |
I'm gonna get enough data to write a dissertation on it, but the project is gonna continue indefinitely |
| 22:12 |
MrResearch |
a good outcome would be to have the server tell joining players what kind of players are currently in the game, what the general vibe of the server is, etc |
| 22:12 |
MrResearch |
if that makes sense? |
| 22:12 |
Shara |
Then you need to think about some general admin type mods. For example, a protection mod so players can protect what they make. A ban mod so you can ban troublemakers if you need to (the inbuilt ban is very poor). And so on. |
| 22:13 |
MrResearch |
gotcha. Is the wiki a good resource for this stuff? |
| 22:13 |
red-001 |
have to say I'm surprised no-one registered MrResearch with nickserv |
| 22:13 |
Shara |
Not sure. |
| 22:13 |
MrResearch |
question: is minetest like MC in that there is a centralised spawn area? or is spawning random? |
| 22:14 |
red-001 |
depends on settings |
| 22:14 |
Shara |
You can set a spawn position |
| 22:14 |
red-001 |
by default it's random over a small area |
| 22:14 |
MrResearch |
so a friend of mine recommended protecting the spawn area by default, would you agree? |
| 22:14 |
Shara |
Best approach is look about the map, pick a nice place for players to start, and then set it manually |
| 22:14 |
red-001 |
yes |
| 22:14 |
Shara |
Yup. |
| 22:14 |
MrResearch |
okay cool |
| 22:14 |
red-001 |
also you got interlingal communications already |
| 22:15 |
red-001 |
someone is trying to talk german to a russian |
| 22:15 |
MrResearch |
yep, I noticed that |
| 22:16 |
MrResearch |
I hadn't even considered that tbh, the data is mostly action based but there is a social aspect to my taxonomy so I might have to adjust some things |
| 22:16 |
MrResearch |
cause if someone is talking to someone in a language they don't understand that's not really socialising |
| 22:17 |
Shara |
There's plenty of times I don't understand my players even when they are using english :) |
| 22:17 |

alright, server is staying up for another 20 hours just to make sure I didn't break anything. Thanks for all the advice guys, I'll drop in tomorrow after I've added some mods |

how does the server know that I moved a item in my inventory or I want to craft a item ? |

the client sends a packet |

the client tells it. |
