01:26 paramat Teckla "when creating pos tables (x,y,z) for LVM, you have to specify whole numbers" correct, for the pos used in 'area:index()', that has tripped me up a few times. i should add that to docs
01:30 paramat hmmmmm if you see this, do come hang out here sometimes, it's good to have you around =)
01:40 ANAND Hello! I'd like to know how listring elements work. I have multiple lists with me, but when I use a listring[location;name] for both the lists, I still can't get shift-click to work.
01:41 ANAND Clarification: I've got 3 list[] in the same formspec, and I'd like to link two of them using listring(s).
01:46 paramat hi, don't know :)
01:47 paramat actually i'll look at the index API and see if we can floor the position

02:17 paramat ugh why is voxelarea stuff in lua, shouldn't it be in cpp for performance?
02:18 paramat voxelarea:index() is heavily used in LVM
02:19 paramat but maybe i misunderstand
02:21 Tmanyo joined #minetest
02:22 paramat maybe voxelarea:index() can't be an API because it returns a number used in mod code

11:37 Genshin Hey guys,  is there a way where we can support transparency for object entities?
11:39 Genshin Would be nice if minetest can support transparent textures for entity models.
11:41 Krock #7148

13:24 entuland trying to use rubenwardy's smartfs I need to either close or keep open a form, tried setting the button to close and issuing form:show() again but that didn't work
13:25 entuland tried setting state.obsolete = true and that didn't work either
13:25 rubenwardy I don't really maintain it anymore
13:25 entuland that's okay, just sharing the situation in case anyone knows
13:26 entuland resolved to avoid any element closing the form, instead calling minetest.show_formspec(playername, "", "") if I need to close it
13:27 entuland that works and should be fine, unless anyone knows of a reason why I shouldn't invoke show_formspec with empty values
13:27 JustMeErazem joined #minetest
13:27 rubenwardy Probably better to use close_formspec
13:27 entuland by the way, rubenwardy, thanks a lot for that tool, it's extremely useful :)
13:28 rubenwardy Smartfs doesn't support this as it didn't exist
13:28 entuland ah, close_formspec, let me check
13:29 entuland okay, I'll invoke that with the name I use to create the smarfs form, should be the formspec name passed to show_formspec internally
13:29 entuland thanks

13:31 JustMeErazem1 Hi, I'm setting up a server (Ubuntu Server 16.04 - No GUI) and I'm just making sure I'm doing this correctly: I've installed minetest-server. When I start it as the minetest user, it creates the .minetest folder and inside there is only a /worlds/world folder, no bin or game folders. Is that ok?
13:31 JustMeErazem1 The server runs fine, I'm just asking
13:31 JustMeErazem1 Also Is it correct if I add the mods folder inside .minetest (the same folder as worlds
13:31 JustMeErazem1 )*
13:32 Krock into ~./minetest/mods/   yes.
13:33 Krock it should also be mentioned here: https://wiki.minetest.net/Installing_mods
13:33 JustMeErazem1 yes, it was, I was just a little confused
13:33 JustMeErazem1 one more thing
13:33 ANAND JustMeErazem1: the bin and other directories which the user needn't bother about are located in /usr/share/minetest
13:34 JustMeErazem1 Another thing, I installed the mobs plugin
13:34 JustMeErazem1 and there were addons or something
13:34 JustMeErazem1 the mobs_animals for example
13:34 Krock !mod mobs_animals
13:34 MinetestBot Krock: Could not find anything.
13:34 ANAND !mod mobs_animal
13:34 MinetestBot ANAND: Could not find anything.
13:34 JustMeErazem1 tThe original mod is mobs_redo
13:34 ANAND mobs_redo is just the API
13:35 ANAND which is used to register custom mobs
13:35 JustMeErazem1 what are mobs_animals or mobs_monsters
13:35 JustMeErazem1 so do I have to install the original mobs mod?
13:35 ANAND mobs_animals and mobs_monsters are the mods that use the mobs_redo API to register new mods
13:35 JustMeErazem1 oh
13:36 JustMeErazem1 ok, so if I have mobs (mobs redo) and mobs_animal in the mods folder they will work?
13:36 ANAND You need to install mobs_redo (the API), and other mobs_redo-compatible mods
13:36 ANAND Yes they should
13:36 Krock no. you'll have to enable them in your world first
13:36 JustMeErazem1 ok thank you
13:36 JustMeErazem1 yes, I did that
13:36 Krock and then check whether there are any errors (missing dependencies, for example)
13:37 JustMeErazem1 I'll do that
13:37 ANAND Thankfully, mobs_redo does not have any hard dependencies
13:37 JustMeErazem1 where do I enter commands in the console
13:37 JustMeErazem1 since I'm on linux and dont have a gui
13:38 JustMeErazem1 minetestserver --info maybe?
13:38 Krock what kind of commands?  minetestserver --help will show you all options
13:39 JustMeErazem1 ok ,so I enter commands directly into the terminal?
13:39 JustMeErazem1 liek mineze
13:39 JustMeErazem1 sorry
13:39 JustMeErazem1 like minetest --info
13:39 Krock yes, why not?
13:39 JustMeErazem1 i didn't think about that
13:39 JustMeErazem1 thank you very much
13:39 Krock lol okay. no problem

14:20 JustMeErazem Hi, sorry for bothering you again. Every time I try to run the server i get this error: https://pastebin.com/mkXyPfXw
14:20 JustMeErazem This happened with multiple mods
14:21 Krock update Minetest to 0.4.17
14:21 JustMeErazem I downloaded minetest-server today
14:21 Krock that looks like prior 0.4.16
14:21 JustMeErazem And since this is just a server, do I need minetest as well
14:22 Krock run minetestserver --version  to check what version you downloaded
14:22 JustMeErazem yes, it's 0.4.12
14:22 Krock oh gosh, even more outdated than the 16.04 repos
14:22 JustMeErazem yes, it's 0.4.13
14:22 JustMeErazem *
14:22 JustMeErazem oh
14:22 JustMeErazem damn
14:22 JustMeErazem ok, I guess i'll update
14:22 JustMeErazem thx
14:23 Krock You may also stay in this channel instead of joining and leaving multiple times

19:22 Krock when the sword covers 1/5th of the screen.. amazing textures though
19:28 Genshin Thanks Krock, made them myself :)
19:48 Genshin Speaking of the sword covering half of the screen Krock,  I blame the scale that i've set up lol. Had to use that method to make large weapons\items for wield3d.
19:52 Krock Genshin, wield3d.location["mymod:mytool"] = { "Arm_Right", {x=0, y=5.5, z=3}, {x=-90, y=225, z=90}, {x=0.5, y=0.5} }
19:53 Krock https://github.com/stujones11/wield3d/blob/master/init.lua#L82
19:53 Krock all items/nodes can be adjusted that way to attach them either somewhere else or in a different scale
19:54 illwieckz joined #minetest
19:55 Emperor_Genshin joined #minetest
19:55 Krock however, it doesn't seem to be possible to change the default location for items without such an override
19:55 Krock like for different scaled player meshes
19:56 Emperor_Genshin Ah,  alright
19:56 illwieckz joined #minetest
19:58 Genshin Hmm I wonder if the item shrinks or increases scale depending on the bone's scaling
19:59 Genshin I'm aware it attaches to the specified bone
20:00 Genshin It follows rotation based on the bone
20:02 Genshin Now my question would be would it follow the bone's scaling as well?
20:03 Genshin If so it may come in handy for keyframe animation tricks.
20:04 Krock *shrug* I suggest try & error
20:05 Genshin Will do,  I guess it wouldn't hurt to fiddle around with it.

21:05 entuland I'm implementing privs for my mod, to check whether a player is allowed to place a node in the world, whatever the way they obtained it
21:05 entuland I see there is a can_dig() callback I can use in register_node()
21:05 entuland but I see no equivalent of can_place() or the alike
21:06 entuland perhaps I should use on_construct
21:08 entuland ah no, on_place
21:08 entuland where I can either bail out or call item_place
21:08 entuland that should be it
