Time  Nick        Message
04:35 sur3        I'm a bid puzzled, there's someone who said he was on my server in 2016 with a specific username and that username really shows 2016 with /last-login but the account doesnt appear in the server logs... o.O
04:36 sur3        where is that last-login time comming from, could he have faked that with some privs I gave him..?
04:42 sur3        hm ok looked at an old backup,seems there really was a user with that name and he didnt fake it, but why does that user not appear in the server logs.. o.O
04:47 sur3        ok the user is in the auth.txt but not in the players/ folder, how can that be?
04:49 rubenwardy  Auth and player data is separate
04:50 rubenwardy  Also, sure your logs go back that far?
04:50 sur3        yes they do..
04:52 sur3        /last-login hello gives me 2016-06-13T06:14:26Z but the only entry in the logfile at that time is 2016-06-13 06:14:26: ACTION[Server]: cemen places node default:torch at (285,9,243)
04:52 sur3        so no player hello
04:54 sur3        also I seem to have about 3500 players in auth.txt but only 2500 people in players/ folder, how can that differ that much?
05:00 sur3        that was 2017 now its even worse.. 8128 players in auth.txt but only 5755 in players/ folder..
05:04 sur3        I wonder if all players missing from the folder are missing from the log-file as well.. *panic*
05:32 sur3        ok at least all players from the players/ folder are in the log-file as well aus in the auth.txt, but where do the additional players in auth.txt not appearing in the folder or the log-file come from?!?
05:48 sur3        ok the auth.txt contains 2373 more entries than the players/ folder and from these 2372 players are missing in the log file.. o.O
07:28 davisonio   sur3: I think that if players enter a password but don’t connect fully it will create the with record but not the player file
07:30 VanessaE    same is true if you have a username filter mod in place
07:37 embden      sur3, thanks
07:38 red-001     couldn't a filter mod use core.register_on_prejoinplayer?
07:38 VanessaE    I think the one I use does.
07:39 VanessaE    yep, it does.
07:41 embden      sur3, though the 11 y.o. boy likes only to fight and scream "John Cena!!!"
07:42 VanessaE    who the fuck is John Cena?
07:43 VanessaE    some wrestler/rappeer
07:43 VanessaE    bleh

11:43 Andrey01    hello
11:45 Andrey01    Blender question: why does my object look like transparent? I have solid mode! [URL=http://www.imageup.ru/img86/3106062/screenshot_20180622_143239.png.html][IMG]http://www.imageup.ru/img86/3106062/screenshot_20180622_143239.png[/IMG][/URL]

13:08 Andrey01    what does the error mean: function arguments expected near 'local'
13:08 Krock       you forgot to close the function call.  )
13:12 Andrey01    I have on error line only written: local set_textures = "". Where is a functon here?
13:13 Krock       I don't know what code you've got in the line above
13:15 Andrey01    default:player_set_textures(user, {player_add_texture}) above the line, but these lines nohow connect between themselves
13:15 Andrey01    because here i use different varyables
13:17 Andrey01    maybe is this strange error to text editor again that was with calling effect before?
13:22 Andrey01    does default:player_get_textures() exist?
14:31 Andrey01    how to save player texture that was changed in during of the game?
14:32 Andrey01    default.player_set_textures() method doesn`t save it
14:33 Krock       player:get_properties().textures
14:33 Krock       player:set_attribute("my_cool_skin", minetest.serialize(player:get_properties().textures))
14:37 rubenwardy  get_meta() instead of set+_attribute if you're aiming for 5.0
14:39 Andrey01    5.0 has not issued yet
14:39 rubenwardy  no, but you can still develop for it
14:39 rubenwardy  and if you're making anything big you should
14:40 rubenwardy  as it'll be released by the time you're done
14:45 Andrey01    when i restarted the server the changed texture did not save
14:46 Andrey01    i called that method that you told me
14:46 rubenwardy  use the player_api API and not get_properties
14:59 Andrey01    does set_meta exist for PlayerMetaRef?
14:59 Andrey01    exist
14:59 Andrey01    set_meta()
15:01 Andrey01    and please split up lua_api.txt to few separate files
15:07 rubenwardy  set_meta never exists
15:07 rubenwardy  it's always get_meta
15:07 rubenwardy  and it always sticks
15:08 rubenwardy  so       player:get_meta():set_string("foo", "bar")
15:08 rubenwardy  just like       minetest.get_meta({ x = 0, y = 1, z = 2 }):set_string("foo", "bar")
15:08 Andrey01    oh, i have already confused in this API
15:10 Andrey01    where can i read about PlayerMetaRef?
15:11 Krock       https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L3975-L3982
15:16 Andrey01    i can not call user:get_meta(), i have 0.4.16 version
15:17 Andrey01    is there 0.4.17 for OpenSuse?
15:20 Andrey01    has 0.4.17 come for OpenSuse?
15:22 Krock       How about checking? It's always possible to Compile It Yourself (TM)
15:22 Andrey01    i can not compile
15:24 Andrey01    how to do it?
15:38 Andrey01    how to compile 0.4.17? i can not
16:06 Ruslan1     Anyone need help
16:09 Astrobe     I really want to implement that idea that hitting a sign with a key transfers the text of the sign to the description of the key, but it seems there are obstacles.
16:09 Astrobe     I see I can return nil as a 'secret' to prevent the key's code to do anything,
16:10 Astrobe     but my on_key_use callback can't force a return of the itemstack.
16:10 ANAND       Hello! How do I define a function that takes 2 arguments plus an optional one as well?
16:11 ANAND       in lua
16:11 rubenwardy  Lua will pass `nil` in if you don't specify an argument
16:11 Astrobe     like a three arguments function.
16:11 rubenwardy  so    function(a, b, c)   end)
16:11 ANAND       Oh nice
16:11 rubenwardy  for default values, do    c = c or DEFULAT
16:11 ANAND       Thanks
16:11 ANAND       Right
16:12 Astrobe     Would it hurt if I move the final "return itemStack" outside of the if?
16:13 Astrobe     (of course I'll have to pass the itemStack to the on_key_use callback)
16:14 Astrobe     That's around line 225 of craftitems.lua btw.
16:18 Astrobe     Hmmm.. maybe I'm trying to hard; maybe just override the on_punch function of sign nodes would actually be simpler.
17:18 Andrey01    ANAND: here is how you need to define so function: function func(a, b, [c]), a and b are required, and c is optinal
17:24 rubenwardy  no
17:24 rubenwardy  that's invalid syntax
17:24 rubenwardy  also, we need a lua bot here
17:24 Andrey01    what is lua bot?
17:24 rubenwardy  !lua print("hello")
17:24 rubenwardy  like thagt
17:25 rubenwardy  http://i.imgur.com/s7cw9T2.png
17:25 rubenwardy  oops
17:26 rubenwardy  http://i.imgur.com/jasQRqN.png
17:27 Andrey01    then sorry for false answer
17:31 Astrobe     There's several "try lua online" sites.
17:32 rubenwardy  the point is to have it in this channell
17:34 Astrobe     Yeah, I guess that you want the deluxe option; but I was thinking that one of them would support lua execution straight from a GET or POST request,
17:34 Astrobe     which a bot probably can use.
17:34 rubenwardy  #lua has this
17:34 ANAND       That would be very helpful to people new to Minetest modding and lua in general
17:35 rubenwardy  this one: https://github.com/mniip/xsBot
17:40 Astrobe     So I have my active mese blocks can now be activated freely or only with a key if the owner made a key for it.
17:41 Astrobe     Now the key labeling issue; I'm going for the brudal sign node override solution.
17:41 Astrobe     I'm a bit puzzled nobody complained about this; or maybe people don't use keys at all?
18:08 Astrobe     Almost there. But the node behaves like it was dig_immediate because I call minetest.node_dig in on_punch()
18:08 Astrobe     I'll paste/bin the code
18:10 Astrobe     https://pastebin.com/CvVPZFCZ
18:14 Krock       do you need node_dig at all in there? if the tool can dig it, then it'll call on_punch first and starts digging in the meantime
18:14 Astrobe     Oh! I'll try that.
18:16 Astrobe     You are correct! Thanks!
18:22 Krock       np :)
18:24 Andrey01    I wanted to ask a question long ago: why when i create functions using Minetest API i need to eneter them in table?
18:25 Andrey01    for example, sofar told me it should be so: effects.register_effect(), but not so: register_effect(), that is i need to enter this function in table "effects"
18:26 Andrey01    what is it for?
18:26 Astrobe     That's in order to avoid name clashes, mainly.

19:17 LMD         * `minetest.register_craft_predict(func(itemstack, player, old_craft_grid, craft_inv))` * The same as before, except that it is called before the player crafts, to make craft prediction, and it should not change anything.
19:18 LMD         How does it work ? Better explanation, please !
19:19 LMD         (sorry for exclamation mark)
19:19 LMD         taken out of lua_api.txt
19:23 LMD         MT Forum Thread : https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=20342
19:24 Krock       LMD, see description above. return the itemstack to craft.
19:25 LMD         so in function i just write return itemstack and that gonna be craft result ?
19:25 LMD         of course defining itemstack before
19:26 LMD         using minetest register craft, isnt there a way to define itemstack as result ?
19:27 Krock       return ItemStack("foo:bar")
19:29 LMD         so in minetest register craft can i use itemstack insted of itemstring ?
19:29 LMD         Cuz thatd be easier+
19:32 Krock       no, but you can convert that stuff with ItemStack(whatever):to_string()
19:32 Krock       also adding metadata should be possible that way
19:36 LMD         sounds nice !
19:36 LMD         will try it out ! which MT was it added ?
19:36 Krock       dunno. use git blame
19:37 LMD         okay...
19:37 LMD         bye thanks very much for your help and wasting your time with me :)
19:41 Krock       !next
19:41 MinetestBot Another satisfied customer. Next!
19:48 LMD         So hello, thanks Krock, works fine !
19:58 Krock       Astrobe, @key rename mod: did you limit the characters? that's a potential abuse
21:07 Astrobe     Krock: No, I forgot about it. I'll look into this issue.
22:28 entuland    are comments supported in .conf file within minetest? can't find any mention of them anywhere
22:29 entuland    scratch that, I found the example file that uses # comments
