04:55 johann2        hello
06:55 Alexand{er|ra} I'm really liking this coloured node feature. It's tough figuring out how to make an evenly-distributed palette for the 5- and 8-bit colour spaces though. ^ or 9 would be easy, but 5 and 8 are odd numbers when you're working with three colour channels.
06:55 Alexand{er|ra} I guess part of the problem is that I'm trying to squeeze everything I can into each palette.
06:56 Alexand{er|ra} If I used 5 and 40 "dead" pixels, the 5- and 8-bit palettes would be done by now.
14:10 DanPete_       Hi, I just found out about the greatness of minetest, but I am a little overwhelmed by all the choices of games, anyone have a suggestion where to start? Minetest, MineClone2, rpgtest?
14:10 progysm        Minetest is the best.
14:10 Krock          hello. vanilla minetest_game, then throw some mods in
14:11 DanPete_       Perfect, thanks! Is MineClone2 a branch off of minetest?
14:11 Krock          whereas "in" = into the minetest-wide mods directory and not /games/minetest_game/mods whatsoever
14:11 Krock          no, that's independent
14:12 DanPete_       Great! Also, any good servers or list of servers if I would like to play with others?
14:12 Krock          all of them
14:12 Krock          click your way through. it's sometimes not easy to find a new, exciting server
14:13 Krock          especially when you've seen all mods at least three times on different servers
14:13 DanPete_       And how do I search for servers? Can I do that in the minetest?
14:13 Krock          uhm.. multiplayer tab?
14:14 Krock          or "Play online" or "Join game" or however it's called right now
14:14 DanPete_       Oh, hmm don't seem to have that on my minetest
14:14 Krock          did you compile it yourself?
14:14 DanPete_       Got a .deb pack for ubuntu 16.04
14:15 Krock          okay, that one should actually have curl enabled. It's a black box in the mainmenu tab, where you get a list of servers
14:15 Krock          based on servers.minetest.net
14:19 DanPete_       Oh, I think I accidentally got 0.4.13
14:19 DanPete_       Opps :)
14:20 DanPete_       Perfect, 0.4.17, and I now have play online. Thanks!
14:23 Krock          ancient piece of packet
14:24 DanPete_       Ya, not sure how that happened
14:25 Krock          it seems to be the newest package in the xenial repository: https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/minetest
14:26 ANAND          Yes, sadly
14:27 ANAND          But 18.04 provides 0.4.16 IIRC
14:27 Krock          even that is already outdated by more than a year
14:27 ANAND          True tho
14:27 DanPete_       Oh, ya I should update to 18.04 but... :)
14:28 DanPete_       What is the latest version?
14:28 ANAND          MT?
14:28 DanPete_       Sorry, yes of MT
14:28 ANAND          0.4.17.1
14:29 Krock          5.0.0-dev
14:29 DanPete_       Oh okay, ya I think I have that now on 16.04
14:37 ManElevation   heayaii! i want my players namestags to hide when they are behind blocks, how can i do so?
14:40 ANAND          ManElevation: This mod aims to do just that

14:50 rubenwardy     As a general rule, avoid mods from  [LKGMD]{3}

14:56 ircSparky      oh well
14:57 ANAND          Noooo!
15:23 Krock          ircSparky: 1) the title is still wrong. 2) the mod search engine fetch bot runs roughly once the week
15:25 ircSparky      how about now?
15:25 ircSparky      (about #1)
15:25 Krock          good
15:47 thefatcar      oops
15:48 Krock          OOPSIE WHOOPSIE owwo sooewthing went wrong
15:48 thefatcat      what where you saying xerox
23:16 ManElevation   a texture on GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE can i use it without credit them?
23:32 rubenwardy     no lol, ManElevation
23:32 rubenwardy     you also must license any other textures as GPL
23:32 rubenwardy     and probably code too
23:32 rubenwardy     GPL is contageous
23:32 ManElevation   so i cant use them without asking them? or i just need to credit tehm and licence it?
23:33 rubenwardy     you need to credit them, keep the same license, and also license your mod as the same license
23:33 rubenwardy     so you can only use GPL'd code if your mod is GPL
23:33 rubenwardy     LGPL is slightly less strict
23:34 sfan5          rubenwardy: i don't think using textures in some sort of abstract "collection" counts as linking
23:34 sfan5          licensing textures in gpl is still stupid
23:34 sfan5          s/still //
23:34 rubenwardy     yeah, ^
23:34 rubenwardy     ok, maybe just the texture needs to be GPL then
23:34 rubenwardy     it's not a media license but a code one
23:34 ManElevation   and what about MIT?
23:35 ManElevation   MIT code
23:35 rubenwardy     MIT is fine.   Keep the license text and credit the author
23:35 ManElevation   alright thx just what i needed
