Time Nick Message 01:15 Markow A very basic, raw, video testing out Advanced Trains on Minetest 0.50. It's nothing fancy, but hey! ;) https://youtu.be/GPzmuJT74wY 01:15 Markow I'll probably remove it and replace it with something much better, when I have cities connected by something much more elaborate. 02:45 VanessaE warning, spambot incoming... 13:01 BillyS Is there any way for a server to force a client to zoom? 13:01 BillyS I am working on a sniper mod, and I need something like that for the scopes 13:03 BillyS I've thought of using player:set_eye_offset(), but that could get wierd very easily 13:05 longerstaff13-m Don't think a server can force if the player doesn't have the zoom priv 13:05 BillyS Maybe I coudl use a raycast . . hmm 13:05 BillyS *could 13:05 BillyS Pretty sure it can't 13:06 Shara Surely it should just enable zoom, rather than force it? 13:07 BillyS Hmmm 13:07 BillyS Thats an idea 13:07 BillyS Then I could have the zoom key be the "scope" key as well 13:07 BillyS Thanks 13:07 Shara You can hold the gun without using the scope after all, and it's going to be pretty annoying if players can't move around easily to get into position while holding it 13:08 BillyS How do I detect what item the player is holding then? 13:08 BillyS Very true 13:08 Shara Not sure, because I haven't looked into how to implement 13:09 Shara But I think people have done things like a telescope already, so you could probably search for those 13:09 BillyS ok, thx 13:10 BillyS Ah, duh: player:get_wielded_item() 13:10 BillyS I'll add a globalstep for that 13:11 BillyS And give the player the "zoom" priv when they are holding it, and remove it when they aren;t 13:11 BillyS *aren't 13:14 Shara Good luck :) 15:24 dell00 Is this the official Minetest IRC channel? 15:24 dell00 Yes. 15:24 dell00 Ok. 15:40 paramat yes, for general MT topics 15:41 rubenwardy they've left lol 19:33 sy How exactly does one acquire cotton? 19:36 Krock dig jungle weeds 19:37 Krock *jungle grass 19:37 Krock if you dig some of them, you'll get a few cotton seeds depending on how lucky you are 19:54 paramat but first you have to find a rainforest biome, you may need to walk a few thousand nodes 19:55 Krock does jungle grass only grow in that particular biome? getting seeds is then quite annoying 19:58 sy Krock: thanks, been searching for one for a while now though 20:02 Krock !next 20:02 MinetestBot Another satisfied customer. Next! 20:22 paramat Krock correct, it's a goal and achievement, as often requested, and then moaned about =) 20:22 paramat likewise papyrus is only in savanna 20:22 Krock It can never be done correctly (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ 20:23 paramat lol 20:24 Jordach all aboard the bundle actual games with minetest train 20:26 Krock (□..^MT=..=]-[□..□□MTG□□..□]-[□..□□minimal□□..□] choo choo get away Guest* 20:27 Krock ^ installation requirements: AbstractInterpretationOfImagesLib-dev 21:16 BillyS Can I make MT preform a raycast? 21:16 BillyS *perform 21:17 BillyS (Server-side) 21:18 sfan5 there's an api for that 21:19 sfan5 and it's named ..... raycast 21:20 BillyS There is? 21:20 BillyS Where is documentation on it? Excuse my stupidity, but I don't see it on dev.minetest.net 21:22 BillyS Oh, found it 21:22 BillyS nvm 21:22 BillyS Thanks. :P 21:33 paramat don't trust the MT wiki, best go by lua_api.txt 21:45 BillyS ok 21:45 BillyS What is the difference between minetest.line_of_sight and minetest.raycast? 21:50 JDCodeIt I noticed inconsistency also - is there a Wiki maintainer who can sync up with api.txt 21:54 paramat there are many, it just doesn't get done 21:54 paramat lua_api.txt has to be updated within each commit, so it's always up to date 21:55 JDCodeIt Be nice if the community could tag it with a need to update - could make the job easier for them 21:55 paramat lol we have :) 21:55 paramat oh each section, yes 21:56 paramat but again, that's a a pain to do when making a PR and core devs are already lacking time 21:56 JDCodeIt I mean as community finds Wiki pages - is there a way to indicate a need for review of that page? I think Wikipedia has this feature about their articles 21:57 paramat we need some dedicated non-core-dev people to update per commit 21:57 paramat oh i see 21:59 paramat but also, it's not obvious what needs updating, it has to be updated after a related commit 22:02 Glorfindel Would these people need to know much code? 22:03 JDCodeIt At Wikipedia there is a to-do list on the discussion tab. But needs a logged in user to place anything there. 22:04 paramat those who update need to understand the subject well 22:12 thefatcat hi guys
