00:02 IhrFussel   p_gimeno, looks like nobody replied to you yet ... the way to get the entity name is obj:get_luaentity().name
00:03 IhrFussel   In callbacks that use "self" of the entity directly you can do simply self.name

20:12 Xiong       swift110 (re VanessaE ....shoving some old otherwise-retired laptop into a corner, screen closed..., a small desk fan...) Excellent to recycle old hardware and wise to add a little thought to cooling... since the definition of a server is you don't physically touch it until it melts. Suggest you twiddle and be sure "clamshell" mode works... standard with Linux install but may require TLC.
20:13 rubenwardy  terribly inefficient
20:13 Xiong       Sorry if that's old ground for you.
20:13 rubenwardy  newer devices tend to have better power consumption, due to a change in focus caused by mobile devices
20:13 rubenwardy  so an rPI would be a lot more efficient
20:13 Xiong       rubenwardy Depends how you see it.
20:14 rubenwardy  but at least the laptop sees more use
20:15 Xiong       Dunno how much manufacture a new device vs running old one contributes to melting planet.
20:16 rubenwardy  that's true
20:16 rubenwardy  it depends on where your energy comes from, and what would happen from the device otherwise
20:17 Xiong       I readup (fuzzy) the (eco) ROI breakeven of a reusable shopping bag vs disposable paper sth like 1000 uses
20:18 Xiong       ... seemed high to me but. Cloth actually worse than plastic.
20:19 rubenwardy  that makes sense to me
20:21 swift110    Oh for sure Xiong and rubenwardy which is why I wanted to use a pi 3. At the same time I have plenty of laptops so using one for that purpose would be awesome indeed.
20:22 Xiong       Ah... the art statement of the post-icecap era. A server farm in the desert running on solar running mt... full of players building solar farms... and millions of people driving hundreds of miles to take selfies with it... and it livestreams the rubberneckers.....
20:23 Xiong       Smile! You're on Candid Camera!
20:27 Xiong       In fact with a little processing and database search it should be possible to generate little thought bubbles over every head, shaven, bearded, or smudged with gluten-free choco frozgurt... showing their delta-degree for the day's outing.
20:28 Xiong       Can sell Guatemalan sweatshop teeshirts labeled Made In USA By Union Labor. They read "I saved the planet today."
20:30 Xiong       Oops my meds haven't kicked in yet.

21:56 Xiong       Can anyone tell me what I'm seeing? Possibly relevant: v6, technic (incl worldgen), gloop. Mining around -1100 and a large system of desert stone rooms. Rooms not caves, mostly rectangular boxes. Much larger than cobble dungeons, from 8 cubed on up, spanning multiple mapblocks. Utterly featureless... which almost doesn't surprise me. But exactly one gloop ore spawns in desert stone. The brown stuff is a shell, rarely over one bloc
21:58 Xiong       So nothing to mine here. I guess this could be an offshoot of the dungeons gimmick but it's nothing like dungeons I've seen. Bug or feature? If feature, what? And what point?
22:00 p_gimeno    sounds like a desert stone dungeon https://wiki.minetest.net/Map_generator_features
22:41 paramat     yes, desert stone dungeons, feature. non-v6 mapgens have sandstone brick dungeons too

22:51 Xiong       p_gimeno Will studyup.
22:53 Xiong       Just fell into a mossy cobble dungeon. A few rooms, none larger than 5x6, the tallest 4 up. We could discuss the realism of mossy-foo a kilometer underground but at least I know what it is.
22:57 Xiong       I read that page earlier. Did not evoke in my mind the proper scale. I think the desert stone dungeon complex I left behind encloses more volume than my lab... possibly more than my entire home base.
22:58 Xiong       What's missing is any explanation. I did a little snooping when I first ran into these guys. They seem... dunno, awfully interesting but without a payoff.
22:59 Xiong       At least on public servers, blocky cobble shacks grow like weeds anyway. Need to prefab them?
23:07 paramat     in MTGame 5.0.0 dungeons will have loot chests
23:07 paramat     sometimes dungeons overlap creating large complexes and oddly overlapping rooms
23:22 Pilcrow182  I'm making a mod for 5.0.0 using the new plantlike_rooted drawtype. Is there currently any way to dynamically 'grow' the node's selection box along with its param2 value, or is that limited to the node's definition itself?
23:36 paramat     the selectionbox is fixed to what is defined in the nodedef, so no
23:44 Pilcrow182  Thanks paramat. That's what I figured, but was hoping otherwise...  :P
