20:08 scr267   Is there a way to figure out which ABMs might be using up the most CPU?
20:09 scr267   or blocking the most anyway?
20:49 VanessaE the profiler should help with that, scr267
20:56 scr267   VanessaE, Er, I've seen a profiler built-in to the GUI, but does it give information regarding ABMs on a server?
20:56 scr267   OR is there a different profiler you are referring to?
20:58 VanessaE there is a server profiler too
20:59 VanessaE minetest.conf ->  profiler.load = true
20:59 VanessaE start the server, let it settle, /profiler_dump
20:59 VanessaE writes the info to debug.txt
21:00 scr267   oh Nice
21:00 VanessaE (but the profiler may still be broken in 5.0.0, idk for sure)
21:00 scr267   and I just issue the /profiler_dump through the client terminal?
21:00 VanessaE yup
21:00 scr267   That's fine my server is still 4.17
21:00 scr267   thanks very much! :)
21:00 VanessaE the output is written to the *server's* debug.txt
21:01 VanessaE you may have to let the server run for a few hours, collecting stats, before /profiler_dump tells you anything useful
21:01 VanessaE especially since you want to capture ABMs
21:01 scr267   yeap sounds good
21:35 rodskagg hi. i've been messing with my own mintest server and trying to edit the config files, but i'm stuck. how do i grant all permissions on a player?
21:36 rodskagg and how do i set a player as admin?
21:36 rodskagg oh wait.
21:37 rodskagg minetest.conf
21:37 rodskagg name
21:38 rodskagg ok. i'm good thanks.
21:38 rodskagg loving the minetest project btw. :)
21:38 rodskagg so cool.
21:52 scr267   rodskagg, thats mainly for the admin - once the admin is in game it can grant ad-hoc permissions to other players :)
21:53 rodskagg scr267: yeah, now i have an admin i can do the rest with grant now, right?
21:53 scr267   rodskagg, yes
21:53 rodskagg cool. thanks. :)
21:54 scr267   VanessaE, if I read 7.7 seconds in the max microseconds column for irc->globalstep, how do I interpret that?  That's the total amount of time spent on all loops since I started the server?
21:59 scr267   I'm just reading up on : https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=19289
22:05 VanessaE I'm not sure.
22:06 rodskagg /giveme NodeItem minecraft:golden_pickaxe 1
22:06 rodskagg gets the result "cannot give an unknown item"
22:06 rodskagg ah, ignore
22:07 rodskagg i misstyped. -_-
22:08 rodskagg https://wiki.minetest.net/Nodes
22:10 rodskagg https://wiki.minetest.net/TNT < tells me tnt is tnt:tnt
22:10 rodskagg but the command /giveme NodeItem tnt:tnt 1
22:10 rodskagg doesn't work.
22:11 VanessaE it's just /giveme foo:bar
22:11 VanessaE /giveme default:dirt 123
22:11 VanessaE etc.
22:11 rodskagg ah cool.
22:11 rodskagg thanks VanessaE :)
22:12 VanessaE yw
22:41 rodskagg i have server privileges. i am using the deleteblocks command and it it giving me the "successfully cleared" message, but the blocks are not actually clearing.
22:42 rodskagg /teleport 0,60,0
22:42 rodskagg /deleteblocks (-10,50,-10) (10,70,10)
22:42 rodskagg i should have carved an empty space around me at that point right?
22:43 rodskagg it is not happening.
22:45 sfan5    try the /deleteblocks here 1 syntax instead
22:46 rodskagg same. i get the message that it was successful, but no blocks are actually removed.
22:48 sfan5    just tested that and it works
22:48 rodskagg interesting.
22:48 rodskagg does not work on mine.
22:49 sfan5    the number is in nodes, not blocks, is yours high enough?
22:49 rodskagg /deleteblocks here 100
22:49 sfan5    should definitely work
22:49 rodskagg yeah, it's really weird that it isn't.
22:51 rodskagg minetest --version
22:51 rodskagg Minetest 0.4.16 (Linux)
22:51 sfan5    you should probably update to 0.4.17.1
22:58 rodskagg hmm. 0.4.17.1 is not liking my version of gcc.
22:59 rodskagg i'm doing this on a vm, so i can easily switch operating systems. does ubuntu work better than centos?
23:00 sfan5    ubuntu is less outdated, your experience compiling will be much smoother
23:00 rodskagg cool. thanks.
