Time Nick Message 00:31 _schism_ evening all 03:30 norkle hi. 04:33 * norkle sips whiskey. 09:11 Helenah Okay so... 09:12 Helenah how do I generate a continental world? 09:12 Helenah norkle: mmm whiskey! 09:33 paramat a world with large separated land masses? 09:37 paramat this could perhaps be done using custom noise parameters. if you post about this in this thread i'll suggest something https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=15272 09:38 Helenah paramat: Yeah 09:39 Helenah hmm 09:39 Helenah And is there a working Essentials mod? 09:41 paramat i'm busy currently but will suggest how to customise a mapgen later, maybe in the forum. 'essentials'? 09:41 Helenah Hmm so it appears the essentials mod I have does work... however it's spawnpoint system doesn't. 09:44 Helenah Also, is there a bug with players being half in the ground, and half out? 09:44 paramat ah .. 09:45 paramat that happens due to incompatibility between latest dev and 0.4.16 stable or earlier 09:45 Helenah What does that actually mean? 09:45 paramat lol 09:46 Helenah Both my client and server are the same versions. 09:46 Helenah latest dev 09:46 paramat hmm 09:46 Helenah Unless I misunderstood 09:47 paramat it might be a mod that was written for 0.4.16 stable, that is incompatible with MT dev version 09:48 paramat armour mods or mods that supply a player model can be affected in that way 09:49 paramat my best guess, since your client and server are the same version 09:49 Helenah I'm using mineclone2 and server essentials 09:49 Helenah It was happening before server essentials was loaded in 09:50 Helenah I'm not sure about before mineclone2 tho 09:51 paramat ok. i'm not sure if MC2 is compatible with latest MT dev version 09:51 paramat forum thread might have that info 09:52 paramat yeah thread says 'for 0.4.16 or 0.4.17' 09:53 paramat repo says 'Only stable versions of Minetest are officially supported. There is no support whatsoever for running MineClone 2 in development versions of Minetest' 09:58 paramat only a few mods and games are broken by MT dev though, most are unaffected 10:01 paramat if you decide to use an earlier version of MT then 0.4.17.1 is the one to use, that is the most recent stable version 10:01 paramat however, latest dev is far better in terms of bugfixes, features, performance 10:19 Ingar aw, my MT installation is 3 years out of date :D 10:40 Warped Αllɑh is doinɡ 10:40 Ingar is https://github.com/minetest-mods/ the place to clone mods from ? 10:54 Ingar inetrcmake doesnt check for irrlicht 10:54 Ingar *cmake 11:01 Calinou hi Ingar :) 11:01 Calinou minetest-mods is an umbrella organization for many popular mods (but not all) 11:02 Ingar Calinou: I removed CMAkeCahce.txt ;) 11:02 Ingar I think there were ancient values in it 11:03 Ingar sight , now I need to update my arch to install graphviz 11:03 Ingar it seems I have some work to do before I can actually play minetest 11:08 Calinou what do you need graphviz for? 11:08 Krock !up 23.28.87.79 30004 11:08 MinetestBot 23.28.87.79:30004 is up (133ms) 11:08 Krock then why can't I connect.. waat 11:10 Krock check whether the mod exists in minetest-mods, if it doesn't, find another source 11:10 Ingar Calinou: doxygen 11:11 Ingar Calinou: it's coincidential, I need to do system updates anyway 11:12 Ingar arch's pacman doesnt like it very much when your system is getting out-of-date 12:53 Ingar Finally, building latest git 12:58 Ingar some funny warnings ;) 13:35 deltasquared is there any way via texture modifiers to average out a texture to a smooth colour? there doesn't appear to be a blur modifier or something like that. 13:35 Jordach lmao no 13:35 deltasquared the use case is making versions of stone that are tinted to correspond to normal ore blocks, but acting like less dense versions of ores 13:36 deltasquared it seems right now I'd have to hardcode a colour 13:36 Jordach you could use multiply and a whitish version of stone for multiply to affect 13:36 Jordach https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L575 13:38 deltasquared Jordach: yeah, it was just the case of obtaining an appropriate colour. I wanted to be able to do so procedurally ish (add dummy depends.txt entries, then scan minetest.registered_nodes for ore blocks) 13:38 deltasquared it seems no such luck currently. hmm 13:38 Jordach you could open the PNG file with the IO library 13:38 Jordach and do it that way 13:38 Jordach but if you want it to look "correct" you'd best do it by hand 13:39 deltasquared good grief, a PNG parser now... yeah, that's a bit more complex than I was hoping. 13:39 deltasquared Jordach: I guess. the concept will still work at least, even if albeit manually 13:39 Jordach and depends.txt is deprecated if you're using 5.0 13:39 deltasquared Jordach: right, forgot that part. I mean the mod.conf 13:39 deltasquared (I should learn how that works actually) 13:40 Jordach i'm playing around with an experimental set_sky at the moment 13:46 Krock work towards 5.0 mods so more people will test the indev versions so they'll be more stable on release 13:47 deltasquared Krock: you can't fork community, alas, one main motivator is when players give me feedback on the fact they like an idea I'm working on for instance 13:47 deltasquared no point working on a mod nobody isn't using 13:47 Krock + at this time 13:48 Krock think further 13:48 deltasquared Krock: what can I say, I'm a sucker for immediate feedback. :P 13:48 deltasquared I'll switch when 5.0 is considered stable and free of blocking bugs 13:48 deltasquared as 90% of the community will likely do also 13:49 deltasquared people don't stop playing MT while you're working on the next version ;) 13:49 deltasquared and the players are on 0.4, so that's where I go for now. 13:49 deltasquared besides, the majority of my mods don't use *code features* that are 5.0 only. 13:50 deltasquared the rest, like mod.conf, is just boilerplate really 14:06 rubenwardy If it takes a while to make a mod or game, say a few months, there's no point aiming for 0.4.x 15:07 d0nn1e Alⅼaһ ⅰs doing 15:10 sfan5 ah great more spam 15:10 Krock that "ⅼ" bothers me a lot because it's not monospace 15:11 sfan5 looks like freenode still can't get their shit together 15:11 Krock and the mad kid who runs the spambots isn't calming down either 15:42 Jordach salty boi 15:44 Helenah What is a mod channel? 15:54 sfan5 !api 15:54 MinetestBot Someone thinks you should read the API docs, please go to: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt 15:54 Helenah Sure 15:55 Helenah I'm also playing with 3D noise 15:56 Helenah It's fun! 15:57 Helenah Wow nice! World limits. 15:57 Helenah I always hated it on Minecraft when people build their shit far away, kinda ruins things. 16:31 Helenah Compiling Minetest Mapper. :3 16:58 Helenah sfan5: I tried /give Helenah default:sword_diamond and it says "Unknown item". 16:58 Helenah Yet, according to the wiki page for the diamond sword, that's it's itemstring. 17:03 Shara Helenah: on a quick test (since I had just compiled) I can confirm it works fine for me 17:03 Helenah I'm trying to build a starting point for my server, however these mobs keep attacking me. /godmode stops them from killing me, however my screen is always flashing red because god mode gives me the HP back after it's removed. I tried setting the world to creative mode, they still attack! 17:04 Shara Maybe you should disable mobs while getting set up, or configure them better 17:04 Helenah Shara: Never thought of that. thanks 17:04 Shara No problem. Which mobs mod are you using? 17:04 Helenah I'm using mineclone 2 subgame. 17:04 Shara Ahh,never tried it, so no idea what the mobs are like there. 17:05 Helenah It's designed to imitate vanilla minecraft. 17:05 Shara Maybe the sword has another name there too 17:05 Helenah and it gives quite a good vanilla-like experience 17:05 Helenah Is there a way to pull itemstrings? 17:06 Helenah Because, if the ones on the wiki are possibly inaccurate for my setup then I'm guessing itemstrings. 17:06 Shara I'm more interested in trying to create original content for MT, so MC2 is an obvious one for me to avoid, though I heard good things about it 17:06 Helenah Me too 17:06 Shara Not sure how you'd get the sword name short of checking the code 17:06 Helenah hmm 17:08 Helenah Looks like I'll need this https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=16012 17:08 Helenah I really don't wanna dig through code each and everytime I need to use the /give command. 17:08 Shara Nice. 17:09 Shara I'd have thought playing in creative would just give you a way to get what you like anyway 17:09 Helenah When it would be more productive to use a command to get the itemstring of an item. 17:09 Helenah Right, lets disable mobs first. 17:09 Shara It's extremely rare that I need /give for anything (other than my own game, but that's because I didn't add a creative mod yet) 17:09 Helenah only_peaceful_mobs = true 17:10 Helenah That will allow things like sheep, but disallow things like creepers. 17:10 Shara Sounds promising 17:10 Helenah Sheep don't bother me, it's the relentless attacking from the mobs... 17:11 Helenah That worked. 17:13 Helenah Shara: Don't get carried away with reinventing the wheel btw. 17:14 Shara What do you mean? 17:14 Helenah reinventing the wheel means to recreate something that's already been done with no real reason other than you want originality. 17:14 Shara I know what phrase means, but not sure how it applies 17:15 Helenah To your mod-making 17:15 Shara The game I'm making is quite different from MTG, so there not really much to reuse 17:15 Shara I am reusing things where it makes sense 17:15 Helenah Then that's fair enough 17:16 Shara Sadly most people who try to make games seem to just add a few mods to MTG :) 17:16 Ingar can I build without client ? 17:17 Helenah Aaaaah, it's mcl_tools:sword_diamond! 17:19 Shara :D 17:38 Ingar building on ARM 17:42 Helenah Now I've got a protective spawnpoint. 17:45 Shara Helenah: which is your server? 18:11 Helenah Shara: On the LAN 18:11 Shara Aww, hoping for something interesting to spy on :P 18:59 Erynnn17 Аⅼⅼɑһ is ԁഠing 19:57 Ingar mmm technic doesnt like my 4.17.1 20:58 Helenah Okay so... I've been modifying minetest_game to get it to work alongside mineclone 2 20:59 sfan5 you what 21:00 sfan5 mineclone is it's own subgame, it's not supposed to be used alongside with MTG under any circumstances 21:00 sfan5 Wuzzy: look at what crimes your users are committing 21:00 Wuzzy ????? 21:00 sfan5 oh nothing 21:01 Wuzzy if someone wants to shoot themselves in the foot, i won't stop them XD 21:02 Wuzzy but it's true, MineClone 2 and Minetest Game don't go well together (if at all). 21:02 Helenah sfan5: I've done it 21:02 Wuzzy but why? 21:02 Helenah to force extra mobs into the game with mineclone 2 21:03 Wuzzy ???????????? 21:03 Helenah I stripped out elements that are already in mineclone 2 21:03 Wuzzy since when does mtg have mobs? 21:03 AlienCat no mineclone 2 21:03 Helenah It was the mapgen in minetest_game that I didn't want 21:03 Helenah but I wanted the default mod 21:03 Jordach :thinking: 21:03 Helenah So this is what I did 21:04 Wuzzy so are you hacking Minetst Game or MineClone 2? 21:04 Helenah minetest_game 21:04 Wuzzy ... 21:04 Helenah I intend to leave mineclone 2 as is 21:05 Helenah Come on guys... you are telling me you've never hacked in your lives?! 21:05 Wuzzy heh 21:05 Helenah I don't plan to distribute a hack 21:05 Wuzzy oh 21:05 Wuzzy i dont mean it in the "evil" way.. 21:05 Helenah If I was to release something, it wouldn't be hacky, it would be proper. 21:05 Wuzzy also its not forbidden to distribute your modifications. even hacky ones :) 21:05 Helenah But I just wanted to see if this was possible out of interest for my LAN server. 21:06 Wuzzy (thats the whole point of MCL2, btw) 21:06 Helenah I know 21:06 Helenah but hacks are awful really 21:06 Wuzzy i dont know your end goal 21:06 Helenah I plan to get technic to work along with extra mobs. 21:07 Jordach Wuzzy, hudbars is a horrorshow 21:07 Wuzzy :-( 21:07 * Helenah sparks up a cig 21:07 Jordach it's completely broken on 5.0 21:07 Wuzzy ... 21:07 Helenah You like your dots, don't you? 21:08 Wuzzy so you complain that something is broken on a version of minetest WHICH IS NOT EVEN RELEASED? -_- 21:08 Jordach i like living on the edge 21:08 Wuzzy your problem 21:08 Wuzzy not mine :P 21:08 Jordach not really, it speaks volumes of your portability 21:08 Wuzzy ... 21:09 Wuzzy dude! 21:09 Helenah !edud 21:09 Wuzzy i just wait until 5.0.0 is out, then we talk 21:09 Jordach i could probably write something in a day that does the same job with less messes 21:09 Wuzzy i do not code towards an unstable lua api 21:09 Jordach 5.0 isn't unstable lmao 21:09 Helenah I'm on dev latest, it's nice! 21:09 Helenah Enjoying the experience so far 21:10 AlienCat the mod uses hunger? 21:10 Jordach Helenah, soon:tm: 21:10 Jordach https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1439852/44957655-20b38f00-aecc-11e8-8870-723b5bff0e88.png 21:10 Wuzzy Jordach: stop trying to frame it as if it is somehow my fault the lua api incompability changed in my disfavor. how could i have predicted? 21:11 Jordach Wuzzy, chill kek 21:11 Jordach i have a Lua API you'll like for 5.0 21:11 Helenah kek kek kek kek kek kek gas oven 21:11 Jordach set_sky can now rebind sun and moon textures 21:11 Jordach complete with texture modifier 21:11 Wuzzy finally 21:11 Jordach https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/7691 21:11 Wuzzy yes thats good news 21:11 Jordach !title 21:11 MinetestBot Jordach: WIP set_sky improvements by Jordach · Pull Request #7691 · minetest/minetest · GitHub 21:11 Wuzzy oh... 21:12 Wuzzy its not merged... oh well 21:12 Wuzzy guess i have to wait for version 7.0.0 or later... 21:12 Jordach i've got a few fixes Krock provided 21:12 Jordach i've already abused the new layout 21:12 Helenah Now to load in the wool mod, heh 21:12 Helenah hah 21:12 Ingar rejoice, my server runs \o/ 21:13 Helenah Yay. it worked 21:13 Jordach Wuzzy, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wchR-l6YtYg ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 21:13 AlienCat DONT DYE THE WOOL 21:13 Helenah Rejoice in peace 21:13 Helenah Why? 21:13 Helenah I wasn't gonna, but why? 21:13 AlienCat it waste lapis 21:13 AlienCat better dye the sheep 21:13 sfan5 !title 21:13 MinetestBot sfan5: Minetest WIP set_sky improvement timelapse - YouTube 21:13 Helenah I'm gonna dye the wool then xD 21:14 Ingar MinetestBot: latest SVN with technic, on an ARM VPS.

I still like you 21:33 Helenah not worse getting upset about 21:33 sfan5 rubenwardy: the thing is, rejecting messages based on a regex does not mean you need to log PMs 21:33 sfan5 if freenode wanted, they could anyway 21:34 sfan5 you could also disable this system for registered users or enable it only for connections you deem "unsafe" 21:34 rubenwardy I'm literally repeating what they said 21:34 sfan5 sure 21:34 sfan5 and i'm saying it's an excuse 21:34 rubenwardy Ask Fuchs or Unit193 21:35 Helenah How about we evacuate Freenode? 21:35 Helenah Problem solved ;) 21:35 rubenwardy Helenah: a clash about what? 21:35 sfan5 not much point asking staff if they have signaled that they won't solve the problem 21:35 Helenah rubenwardy: We have disagreements in regards to privacy and security concerns. 21:35 sfan5 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 21:36 rubenwardy Do we though? 21:36 rubenwardy I think they should do this 21:36 rubenwardy This being stop the messages before being sent 21:36 Helenah Soon as someone logs my PMs, I'm leaving. 21:36 AlienCat spambots PMing? 21:37 rubenwardy They won't log your PMs 21:37 rubenwardy And you have no guarantee they don't already 21:38 rubenwardy Actually, if this is some feature flag then they may not actually be able to currently 21:38 rubenwardy Which could be where the issue is 21:39 rubenwardy Like, maybe to stop the messages before sending they need to enable sending all messages through services first 21:39 rubenwardy I don't know much about IRC (other than the client I made) 21:39 Helenah I ran IRCd's 21:40 Helenah I'm pretty sure ircd-seven doesn't support logging of PMs 21:40 Helenah Unless they patched it ofc 21:40 sfan5 rubenwardy: doing that requires coding this feature into the ircd 21:40 sfan5 which is the main problem I think 21:41 Helenah I'm enjoying technic on this mineclone 2 server 21:47 Helenah Actually, thinking about it, it's not that much of a hack. I just modified the default mod to strip out the mapgen functionality from it as it clashes with the mapgen functionality of minecraft 2 subgame 21:47 Helenah Then they work together nicely 21:48 Helenah However, I now have duplicate items. 21:48 Helenah heh fun 22:40 Helenah sfan5: Is there a way to group privs, like done with basic_privs? 22:43 rubenwardy Helenah: https://github.com/rubenwardy/privgroups/blob/master/init.lua 22:43 rubenwardy oops 22:43 rubenwardy https://github.com/rubenwardy/privgroups 22:43 Helenah Aaaaah, thanks 22:43 rubenwardy ignore the readme 22:43 Helenah rubenwardy: You're a star! 22:43 rubenwardy this currently only adds meta-privs 22:43 rubenwardy privileges which actually grant and revoke multiple privs 23:25 aidalgol What's the "falling node group" in this context? https://notabug.org/Hamlet/fallen_trees
