01:31 jas_            no ircsparky i dunno how to do that, or if it's possible.
01:31 jas_            i don't think so.  i was totally being pedantic i think that's the word, when i said 'i use it'.  not being able to jump out of water onto an adjacent higher node is a feature i do indeed use, but someone said, "impossible to 'use' it" -- i should stop splitting hairs.
01:32 jas_            of or like a pedant, i don't think that's right
01:32 jas_            haha anyways, hi
02:10 Ruslan1         Hi jas_ I’m joining your server

02:24 Ruslan1         Help
02:25 Ruslan1         ???
02:25 DoyleChris      im using tnt to dig down and i set up torches every once and awhile.

03:20 scr267          Hi all... anyone know how to start minetest after installing it with brew on a Mac OS?

16:36 ircSparky       ANAND, so you are making a new gun mod for ctf?
16:38 ANAND           ircSparky: https://github.com/ClobberXD/gunslinger
16:38 ANAND           Strictly WIP thoug
16:38 ANAND           +h
16:38 ANAND           Targeted at 5.0.0+, as it uses Raycast
16:40 ircSparky       nice, and you are able to calculate if its a headshot too?
16:40 ANAND           Yeah
16:40 Krock           > If headshot, damage is increased by 50%
16:40 ANAND           ^ :)
16:41 Krock           get player collision box, position, take the upper 1/5th , middle 1/3rd of the box and it's likely the head
16:41 ANAND           True
16:41 ircSparky       nice
16:42 ircSparky       are you interested in 3d models? I have a few
16:42 ANAND           This mod will benefit greatly from #7557
16:42 ShadowBot       https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/7557 -- Expose player FOV to Lua API by ClobberXD
16:42 ircSparky       definetly
16:42 Krock           ircSparky: do you also have one of the carts:cart where the bottom face is slightly higher? the rails glitch though visually uphill
16:43 ircSparky       I havent modeled carts
16:43 Krock           btw, one of the first mods which use raycast, Oct 2017: https://github.com/SmallJoker/farbows
16:44 ANAND           ircSparky: The 3D models are pretty good-looking, but I don't know how I can put them to use.
16:44 Krock           just wanted to make sure though :)
16:49 ircSparky       is there any reason not to use them? I guess they are a bit harder to make, and models take up more space than a single texture
16:49 ircSparky       if i manage to get usable sights to aim down that would be probably the biggest advantage
16:50 ANAND           Do you use the models for entities?
16:51 ircSparky       in the test i did, they were nodes
16:52 ANAND           Cool
16:53 ANAND           I use HUD image overlays for aiming down sights
16:53 ircSparky       one issue with that may be with different lighting
16:53 ANAND           Agreed
16:55 ircSparky       does the gun work?
16:56 ircSparky       and if it does, how does it work?
16:59 ircSparky       it would be nice if huds could have a mesh type
17:00 ANAND           Automatic guns work by beginning to fire when LMB is pressed, and fire until LMB is released. Uses a globalstep
17:00 ircSparky       i only see one gun
17:00 ANAND           I haven't implemented shotgun style splash damage yet
17:00 ANAND           Yes, I plan on adding one or two more
17:01 ircSparky       does it need ammo? it dosnt not seem to be fireing for me
17:03 ANAND           I'm terrible at textures and art in general, which is why I'm a tad too hesitant on making new guns. ;)
17:05 Ruslan1         Who is here
17:09 ANAND           You forgot to say "knock knock"
17:12 piesquared      You talking to me?
17:19 ircSparky       does it need ammo? it dosnt not seem to be fireing for me
17:24 ANAND           Yea, I'm yet to make ammo :P
17:25 ircSparky       does iut shoot though? I cant tell
17:26 ircSparky       idk if im doing something wrong, or if its just because its wip
17:39 ANAND           It should shoot the loaded magazine fully. It just can't reload, as its ammo is non-existent.
19:23 guardthebananas hey all - i've installed minetest using flatpak on ubuntu 18.04, but i'm not sure how to go about installing the mods. does anyone else run a similar setup?
19:42 ircSparky       I dont know much about flatpak, but have you checked for .minetest in your home folder?
19:42 ircSparky       ah
19:42 ircSparky       i should look things up
19:45 ircSparky       you might be able to do a search for mods_here.txt
19:47 Krock           or install the PPA (if you have the user rights). You might lose less time on configuring that

21:06 Ruslan1         Hi ircSparky
21:13 ircSparky       hi
22:41 Taoki           So it's possible I might be bringing two important mods I made back up to date. Having to figure a few things out however. Had a question about something for starters...
22:42 Taoki           Is there any way to check if the mapgen is busy at a given moment? That means that it's either generated a new chunk accessed for the first time, imposting a schematic, or any other reason.
22:42 rubenwardy      mapgen is multithreaded, and can be assumed to be working
22:42 Taoki           In one of old mods, I needed to optimize how structures are spawned so they don't choke the server so much. But a problem was I couldn't tell when the mapgen was working.
22:42 rubenwardy      but Lua won't be running whilst the main thread does work
22:42 Taoki           Fair enough. But how does the server API know when it is?
22:42 Taoki           Okay. So it can't know?
22:43 Taoki           Ah. So it will automatically wait in that case...
22:43 rubenwardy      what's the usecase?
22:44 Taoki           It's complicated. One issue is that I import schematics in on_generate, but that randomly causes trees or terrain to spawn over my structure, because that runs after my code.
22:44 Taoki           Actually I might add a minetest.after delay of 1 second to the whole thing to see if that solves it.
22:44 Taoki           But I thought there was a flag to verify that the mapgen stopped working on terrain first.
22:45 Taoki           BTW: I'm not sure what my mod does, but it can trigger massive memory leaks and also crashes. Hopefully I can find and report whatever it is.
22:52 rubenwardy      well, paramat would be the better person to ask here
