00:06 galaxie VanessaE: Does homedecor work with flat mapgen? It's messing up on unifieddyes, whose docs say it needs minetest_game..?
00:06 VanessaE it should be fine.
00:06 VanessaE you already have minetest_game if you can run homedecor
00:07 VanessaE (afair, unified_dyes only uses default and dyes from there)
00:08 galaxie VanessaE: Well, it's giving me an error: mods/homedecor_modpack/homedecor/misc-nodes.lua:535: attempt to call a nil value
00:08 VanessaE so install minetest_game :P
00:08 VanessaE most mods use it as far as I know
00:09 galaxie I have minetest_game installed, just I didn't generate the world with it.
00:09 galaxie Actually, I did. Huh.
00:10 VanessaE pastebin the full error please.
00:12 Emerald2 joined #minetest
00:14 Rafi59_ joined #minetest
00:15 galaxie Well, the error's different now that I realized I was running it from Git HEAD and not latest release, but it still doesn't work: https://pastebin.com/0KMmfgsF
00:15 VanessaE your unified dyes is outdated.
00:15 VanessaE get it from https://gitlab.com/VanessaE/unifieddyes
00:16 galaxie I took it from minetest-mods..
00:16 VanessaE that's outdated.
00:16 VanessaE sofar: will you please just kill those repos?
00:17 galaxie OK. Who's in charge of... ah.
00:17 VanessaE all my stuff is on gitlab, has been since June
00:20 galaxie Is there some mod that includes the textures or at least equivalent ones from MineCraft? I mean, I guess MineClone 2 but that's a game and not a mod..
00:20 entuland you'd better look for a texture pack instead, galaxie
00:20 entuland chances are that someone created one such a pack somewhere
00:21 Taoki paramat: I tried my mod with large structures for the first time today. Pretty worried about the results: When spawning large buildings, there's almost never a time when structures don't appear badly cut off. Only half of the spawns sometimes. Alongside the same frequent crashes.
00:21 VanessaE galaxie: and anyone who has turned Minecraft textures into an installable texture pack for Minetest, or anything else, is also doing so illegally.
00:21 Taoki I hope we can take a look at what's wrong with spawning from on_generate sometime. Definitely needs a way to divide schematics and spawn the right parts of each one per chunk.
00:22 VanessaE (such textures would be copyrighted and not under a permissive license)
00:22 galaxie I guess so. I just ain't seeing some blocks I might want to have.
00:23 entuland galaxie: you can still create a texture pack for yourself and override whatever texture as you wish (it will work on online servers as well, but only you will see them)
00:23 VanessaE Taoki: you'd have to use a Lua VM to forceably emerge all blocks the structure can occupy, prior to spawning it.  and then, you'll want to spawn each structure "gradually" to avoid lag.
00:23 argyle77 Whoa!  All rows of the light_LUT array in light.cpp set to 255 gives a whole new perspective on caves!
00:23 VanessaE galaxie: what sorta blocks would you want?
00:24 Taoki VanessaE: I am using the voxelmanip already. Messed with it in various ways, nothing seems to fix it (either the crashes or incomplete structures).
00:24 entuland argyle77: even just increasing the gamma could help there :P but then, outside may hurt the eyes :P
00:25 VanessaE Taoki: strange..
00:26 Taoki The incomplete structures have been there for years. The crashes and memory leaks are newer though.
00:27 VanessaE how much of "incomplete" is cavegen griefing? :)
00:28 galaxie Vanessa: Something like smooth quartz and stuff.
00:28 VanessaE quartz mod :)
00:28 VanessaE https://github.com/minetest-mods/quartz
00:28 VanessaE that's the one I use
00:28 galaxie And it's updated? :)
00:29 galaxie Are almost all the mods on here server-side or client-side?
00:29 VanessaE it's as up-to-date as it needs to be as far as I know... also, consider Dreambuilder. it has everything, including the kitchen sink (literally)
00:29 VanessaE all are server-side
00:29 VanessaE client-side modding is still in its infancy in MT
00:30 VanessaE though it's taken a couple of very important steps forward since 5.0.0 became a thing.
00:30 galaxie 5.0.0? Isn't the current version 0.4.17.1??
00:31 rubenwardy the leading 0 is being removed
00:31 rubenwardy 0.5.0(.0) --> 5.0.0
00:31 galaxie That makes more sense.
00:36 galaxie Where's the code for it? There are no branches/tags that I can see.
00:37 kaeza joined #minetest
00:39 rubenwardy master
00:39 rubenwardy master is 5.0.0-dev, stable-0.4 is 0.4.17.1
00:41 puzzlecube joined #minetest
00:43 galaxie Hmm. I just enabled Dreambuilder and realized that MineTest shows, say, signs_lib as disabled on the main screen, but enabled when expanded by the modpack.
00:43 VanessaE yeah, minetest has modpack glitches.
00:44 VanessaE remove your external copies of homedecor, signs, unified dyes, and so on.
00:44 VanessaE MT will get them from the modpack
00:44 VanessaE rubenwardy: isn't there a PR against 5.x to fix this?
00:45 galaxie Hmmm, so far, the only mod I found that connects to an external network is the irc mod. Are there other examples?
00:45 galaxie It even has SSL support..
00:47 VanessaE yes, there's a NIC in the digistuff mod
00:48 VanessaE it's rudimentary, but it can (via cURL) reach out to a website to fetch e.g. text to be displayed on a digilines LCD.
00:48 galaxie Oh, I meant like session. So like telnet or IRC or WebSockets..
00:49 VanessaE and luk3yx has a "lurkcoin" mod that uses a website to facilitate deposit/withdrawal of "currency" mod Minegeld from one server to another (In survival mode only)
00:49 VanessaE oh
00:49 VanessaE um..
00:49 VanessaE I don't know :)
00:49 galaxie And wouldn't that need to be enabled in secure mods or whatever that was?
00:49 VanessaE yes, I believe so
00:49 * luk3yx
00:50 luk3yx HTTP(S)-enabled mods do need to be in `secure.http_mods` (I think)
00:50 galaxie Wait, wouldn't this HAVE to be a client-side mod?
00:50 VanessaE no
00:50 galaxie Or does this make the server do the requests?
00:51 VanessaE all data is exchanged via the server
00:58 argyle77 Is settingtypes.txt current, or obsolete?
01:03 Sketch2 joined #minetest
01:03 VanessaE that's a current thing, isn't it?
01:03 VanessaE (I'm getting kinda rusty in minetest modding ... )
01:04 argyle77 Okay, yeah looks like it.  Its still in lua_api.
01:07 argyle77 I love you work VanessaE!  Dreambuilder modpack really fills out a world.
01:07 VanessaE :)
01:14 paramat Taoki maybe start with a thread in the forums describing the problems? as we don't know yet if it is an engine bug or a mod issue, i'll look at such a thread
01:14 DrFrankenstone joined #minetest
01:16 paramat yeah settingtypes.txt is what creates the 'advanced/all settings' settings menu
01:23 paramat well, the existing struture mod issues at github are an ok place too. i just need to try to understand your mod, look at the code and use it

19:00 Andrey01 hi
19:01 jluc joined #minetest
19:01 Andrey01 what does the error "Map::setNode(): Not allowing to place CONTENT_IGNORE while trying to replace "air" at (51,21,205) (block (3,1,12))" mean when trying to set a node?
19:02 Andrey01 and also why can it happen?
19:05 sofar bad mod code
19:05 sofar but, could be very hard to find out which mod did the bad thing
19:07 GreenDimond joined #minetest
19:09 benrob0329 joined #minetest
19:13 benrob0329 woah Wuzzy is on IRC
19:13 Wuzzy hi
19:13 GreenDimond He is frequently
19:14 benrob0329 Hmm, maybe it's just that he has become more active as I've become less active
19:15 argyle77 Hi! Does anyone know if I register two ores, is there a guaranteed order that they'll be executed / placed in?
19:15 Wuzzy i believe it does matter
19:15 Wuzzy registering ore A before B gives different result than vice-versa
19:16 Wuzzy so the mapgen generation order is not just random. :)
19:16 Andrey01 but what a reason can it happen? and what does "CONTENT_IGNORE" mean?
19:17 argyle77 I see that it is different, but I'm trying to make sure I get a consistent result.
19:17 Wuzzy https://wiki.minetest.net/Ignore
19:18 Wuzzy Andrey01: the error message most likely means that some mod tried to place a node that is not defined
19:18 Wuzzy e.g. if you try to place default:appl <<< classic typo
19:18 Wuzzy sofar: the error message could be nicer, tho
19:19 Wuzzy maybe something like "ERROR: Unknown node 'example:blafoobla'"
19:19 Wuzzy at position XYZ
19:21 argyle77 Another one, is there a way to ask the engine if it supports a particular ore type (scatter, sheet, strata, etc,...)?  I have a kind-of work-around, but its kludgy.
19:23 Andrey01 ah, yes, now it works, thank you!
19:23 Andrey01 i fixed to the proper nodename

22:10 entuland joined #minetest
22:11 argyle77 joined #minetest
22:12 entuland I'm experiencing something strange - at times, the game feels unresponsive, I put stuff into chests or bags or furnace, and the game takes several seconds to show me the effect of those actions
22:12 entuland I thought it was a connection issue (cause I have many) but when I went to check my network stats, I noticed that minetest was downloading about half a megabit per second (which is good for my connection speed) but it's strange cause I wasn't moving around loading chunks or the alike
22:13 fwhcat entuland, what OS ? what GFX card do you have ? and have you tried with lower graphic settings ?
22:14 entuland I'm on windows 10, minetest 0.4.17, the GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
22:15 entuland the graphic settings are pretty low (no shaders, no fancy stuff around, almost the minimum)
22:15 fwhcat Does your game freezes also on singleplayer games ?
22:16 entuland nope, I don't have any problem in singleplayer, only slightly lower FPS due to the system also running the server side code locally
22:16 entuland what puzzles me is why is it downloading all that stuff without moving around in areas I have fully loaded
22:17 entuland view range pretty low (under 100) and no infinite view range
22:18 entuland I wonder if I'm not getting data from the actions performed by other players even if they are thousands of blocks away
22:18 entuland right now, again without moving around, only using some furnaces, the game is downloading a whopping 1Mbs
22:19 entuland let me try in another area without any machines
22:19 fwhcat is this on your server ?
22:19 entuland nope
22:19 ChimneySwift what server is that?
22:19 entuland it's the /rocket area in Illuna TechEth
22:19 fwhcat this can clearly comes from the server settings.
22:19 entuland I wonder if it isn't due to the large amount of technic machinery here
22:20 entuland apart from the unresposiveness of the machines' interfaces, the game is smooth
22:20 fwhcat joining to test
22:20 ChimneySwift delay in opening stuff is most likely due to Lua lag on server side combined with ping, technic does put a lot of network load. thanks to all the entities and Metadata changing
22:20 argyle77 My slow computer drops to 4fps when I'm near my pipeworks-heavy item sorter.
22:20 argyle77 But I hadn't noticed an associated lag.
22:21 entuland I'm running at 60 fps normally in this area, I'm there right now
22:21 fwhcat can't even connect to the server
22:22 entuland port 30002 on illuna.rocks?
22:22 fwhcat yes
22:22 fwhcat MT 0.4.17.1
22:22 ChimneySwift does that server have player anim? that causes a heap of network usage too
22:23 entuland dunno, I'll let the admins there know about this situation
22:24 ChimneySwift do peoples heads move to follow where they're looking? (up and down)
22:26 entuland checking
22:26 entuland but I noticed that leaving that area was enough to stop the unreasonable download rate
22:26 entuland so the culprit must be that area
22:27 entuland no player animation, as far as I can tell
22:27 ChimneySwift yeah, if it's pipeworks it's probably the entities
22:27 entuland what's the mod's name?
22:27 ChimneySwift k
22:27 ChimneySwift player_anim iirc
22:27 entuland it's mostly technic stuff afaict
22:28 entuland there are some player* mods but not that one
22:28 ChimneySwift k
22:33 argyle77 pipeworks slows me down even when there is nothing travelling through the system (I think), though all my technic stuff is in the same area, so I couldn't pinpoint it
22:34 entuland all right, the admins are on it, hopefully that's something that helps them spotting some issue and improve the performance
22:34 argyle77 Doesn't seem to have an effect in single-player or when the client is on the same machine, but it kills me over the network.
