00:53 jas_        i thought deleteblocks just regenerates the terrain
03:04 argyle77    Sup?  I'm getting a segfault on line 656 in noise.cpp.  Minetest 5.0.0-dev-debug-111f1dc9-dirty.  Is this something I should report somewhere?
03:16 argyle77    Also line 668.  It goes away when I remove num_emerge_threads = 3 from minetest.conf
03:44 Emerald2    argyle77 github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/new
04:25 argyle77    OK thank Emerald2.  I reported.  I wasn't sure if I should with it being a dev version.
04:26 Emerald2    One told me you should do it there, so there ya go. :)
04:28 argyle77    Prolly best to make a record of it.  If it is actually a multi-threading issue, those can be tricky to pin down.

09:16 Hijiri      rodskagg: deleteblocks removes the blocks from the map, so it generates them again
09:16 Hijiri      I think that's what it does
09:16 Hijiri      it doesn't replace them with air
09:16 Hijiri      nodes that were not there on map generation will be gone though
10:16 makayabou   Hello, I wanted to know if it is possible to execute minetest.register_globalstep and then stop it on condition. Thanks
10:16 VanessaE    depends on the condition
10:17 VanessaE    I mean, it always runs on every server tick, but you can exit from the function early.
10:17 VanessaE    not entirely unlike how you might code an ABM.
10:17 makayabou   I show a hud to user and I want him to change hud by pressing JUMP, until end of hud's list, then resume waiting for key pressed callback
10:18 makayabou   I tried to put return inside the function but it doesn't seem to exit...
10:18 VanessaE    that's not something you'd normally do on globalstep.
10:18 makayabou   Yes, that is what I thought so..
10:19 VanessaE    by "HUD", I assume you mean health bar, air, that sort of thing, and not a dialog box?
10:19 makayabou   just a picture we want to print on screen, without blocking the player to move, and without other interaction (no question etc)
10:19 VanessaE    right.
10:19 makayabou   By the way @VanessaE thanks for your work on minetest and for homedecor
10:20 VanessaE    you're welcome.
10:20 VanessaE    what's the trigger to make the image/HUD show initially?
10:20 makayabou   punch a node
10:20 VanessaE    ok
10:21 makayabou   It would have been great to use globalstep for a limited time..
10:22 VanessaE    well what you can do is create a table, with the username as a key, and a simple true/false flag as its value...  set the flag false when the HUD shows up, set it to true when the user succeeds in dismissing the HUD, and check that flag inside globalstep as the first line of code, use it to exit early.
10:22 VanessaE    (table with usernames as keys because maybe you want this to work in multiplayer)
10:23 VanessaE    that would give you approximate the same as "globalstep for a limited time", since such a check would be basically instantaneous.
10:26 makayabou   Ok, I think I see, I will try this later and tell you back if it was ok. Thank you very much.
10:36 VanessaE    good luck

22:08 argyle77    Hi!  I see that https://www.minetest.net/get_involved/ says that the best place to contact the core team is on #minetest-dev, however, it appears #minetest-dev can only be posted to with permission.  Is this an error on that webpage, or is the intent that they be contacted via direct message?
22:12 rubenwardy  you can't use webchat
22:13 rubenwardy  "Webchat can be used to listen only, not talk, on #minetest-dev"
22:13 argyle77    Is webchat == irc?
22:13 rubenwardy  no
22:13 rubenwardy  webchat is a client for IRC which very commonly gets spammers
22:14 argyle77    I'm using the hexchat client and received a rejection notice after trying to ask a question the other day.
22:14 rubenwardy  oh intesting
22:16 argyle77    The response was: * #minetest-dev :Cannot send to nick/channel
22:29 FreeFull    Do you maybe have to be registered with nickserv?
22:30 argyle77    I don't know.  How does one do that?  I've been on a 20 year hiatus from irc.
22:35 argyle77    Nevermind, I found a reference.
