hey guise, is there a way to run a func when a nearby node gets updated?( like dug, or placed ) if not, would it be sane to make every node onPlace and afterDestruct call update() on nearby nodes(6 adjacent) ? thanks in advance |

well, punching a block next to a block of sand that has air below, makes the sand fall |
| 00:16 |
p_gimeno |
maybe look at that code to see how it's done? |
| 00:16 |

yeah, thats the kind of thing i want, but in this case the falling behaviour is done by the engine, right? i dont think theres a callback for updates |
| 00:17 |
p_gimeno |
I'm not sure, I haven't looked at that part myself |
| 00:18 |
kurtzmusch |
also, i wanted to know if its possible to change any of the node fields... i know that param1 and 2 are mutable, but i wonder if i could, for example change its walkable, lightsource, or nodebox |
| 00:21 |
paramat |
not in-game, you need a node for each desired state |

it's actually optimum to use multiple nodes, evem though it doesn't seem so at first |
| 00:22 |
paramat |
*even |
| 00:24 |
paramat |
optimum in terms of simplicity and performance |
| 00:24 |
kurtzmusch |
i supose registering thousends of nodes is meaningless in terms of performance? |
| 00:25 |
kurtzmusch |
ignoring the time for initializing the mod |
| 00:25 |
paramat |
correct |
| 00:26 |
paramat |
but you can only have 32768 nodes ^_^ |

rubenwardy |
craft items and tools don't count towards the limit |
| 00:28 |
kurtzmusch |
ok, i guess 32k should be enough |
| 00:29 |
rubenwardy |
the technical reason is because nodes are identified using a "content ID". This content ID is 16 bits, which gives 65536 possible values. Half of that is reserved for unknown nodes, leaving 32768 |
| 00:29 |
rubenwardy |
it would probably be better to reserve a lot less of that for unknown |
| 00:29 |
rubenwardy |
and use a system like in operating systems: unknown grows down, known grows up |
| 00:29 |
paramat |
with the multiple node approach, each node has a different content ID (it's name) which makes them super fast to process in lua voxel manipulators etc. |
| 00:29 |

I just installed a new minetest release. Pipeworks does not seem to work. Plus: i fall in a 404 not found at Pipeworks link in "List of mods" page. |

is there a way for nodes of drawtype nodebox to not propagate artificial light? |

also, warning: the pipes in pipeworks don't work properly. But the tubes do |

(the pipes don't support finite amounts of liquid, only renewable liquids) |

i saw theres a bool for sunlight_propagates, but nothing about light in general ... |

it's expected behaviour, not a bug |

p_gimeno |
well, the Pipeworks one is broken |
| 00:44 |
LevierMRQ |
Well. Im feeling as if the best shall be to install a clean minetest then choose the mods; instead to update what i have. |
| 00:44 |
LevierMRQ |
Any advice? |
| 00:44 |
LevierMRQ |
Didnt use since 3 years |
| 00:45 |
rubenwardy |
after that amount of time, probably a good idea |
| 00:46 |
p_gimeno |
probably better to reinstall mods, but if you had any worlds you want to preserve, you can copy the worlds to the new one |
| 00:46 |
LevierMRQ |
rubenwardy: will. Thanks. New Minetest seems to run perfectly. I just have to clean mods folder and get the new ones. Right? |

ahh, that explains why there's no door that blocks light as I asked some weeks ago |
| 01:02 |
paramat |
also, the lua voxel manipulator can set light levels in nodes, but as soon as there is a nearby node change a lighting update will happen that will undo what was done, possibly in a weird way |
| 01:06 |
kurtzmusch |
yea, my idea was to use paramtype=light to receive light but light_propagates=false... aparently this is not exposed to the api |
| 01:08 |
kurtzmusch |
but the issue is open, so theres still hope lol |

Hey Edroen. What can we do for you this fine day? |
| 16:14 |
Edroen_ |
Hello |
| 16:15 |
Edroen_ |
I've recently known of Minetest and wanted to use it in Mac Os X and Suse |
| 16:15 |
Edroen_ |
then, when trying to do so (suse as minetest server and Mac Os X as client) I saw that the available versions were the old ones, not 5.x |
| 16:16 |
Emerald2 |
There's also a flatpak for linux if you use those. |
| 16:16 |
|
kaeza joined #minetest |
| 16:17 |
Edroen_ |
I wanted to use the 5.x series so I have eventually compiled it for Mac os X (full version, stable and master branches) and the server version for Suse (master I think) |
| 16:17 |
Emerald2 |
Good. :) |
| 16:17 |
Edroen_ |
I'll try to also build the full version (stable) for Suse |
| 16:18 |
Emerald2 |
What version of SUSE? According to the downloads page, they have 5.0 for openSUSE tumbleweed. |
| 16:18 |
Edroen_ |
The matter is that I've seen that in the downloads section in main minetest website does not include neither of these last versions ... and I think that could be interesting if I provide both, so that people with those systems can use it |
| 16:18 |
Edroen_ |
Suse Leap |
| 16:19 |
Edroen_ |
I'm a long time debian user but wanted to play with Suse, so I compiled it there :) |
| 16:20 |
Emerald2 |
Hey that's cool. :) |
| 16:20 |
Edroen_ |
MacOs is Sierra, but in my Mac Desktop I think I have High Sierra ... and works fine too |

Hi nri. |
| 16:21 |
Edroen_ |
Also have a considerable set of mods that the server loaded fine (i.e. they are compatible) so I could perhaps build a package with those |
| 16:22 |
nri |
does anyone play on the RedCat server here? |
| 16:22 |
Edroen_ |
Nri: No, not me |
| 16:23 |

| 16:23 |

Don't think I've ever been to RedCat. |

I've read something about it ... yes ... so I decided to ask here |

Edroen_: that channel doesn't allow web chat due to historic spamming |

this channel is the better one any way |
| 16:24 |

ah, spam, ok |
| 16:25 |

Then, I'd like to know how I could publish the binaries (do I create a git account for it?) and how to point to them from the main maintest download page |
| 16:25 |
Edroen_ |
... or if there are some testers that could get my binaries and test them too :) |
| 16:27 |
kurtzmusch |
i dont think minetest forks are published in the mt page |
| 16:27 |
Edroen_ |
Its not a fork. It's the stable and master branches compiled for Mac os X |
| 16:27 |
Edroen_ |
:) |
| 16:27 |
Emerald2 |
It's minetest in different package formats, not a fork. |
| 16:28 |
Emerald2 |
Presumably the devs built the available ones. |
| 16:28 |
Edroen_ |
No, the stable and master branches (5.x series) are not compiled for Mac nor for SuSE |
| 16:29 |
Edroen_ |
Now, I've compiled them, and would like to make them available ... you know, the "Get Involved" :) |
| 16:30 |
Edroen_ |
I could try asking in the forum but via IRC seemed to be faster |
| 16:30 |
Emerald2 |
Yo rubenwardy |
| 16:34 |
Edroen_ |
and yes, 5.0.0 is available for tumbleweed, but not for Leap. The one I've built is for Leap |
| 16:41 |
* Emerald2 |
nods. |
| 16:43 |
Edroen_ |
so, any suggestions of how should I proceed? |
| 16:43 |
Edroen_ |
to make them public, I mean |
| 16:43 |
rubenwardy |
I'd create a forum thread in the builds section |
| 16:43 |
Emerald2 |
People have been asking for a Mac build, so having one available will be good. |

Hello! I find https://dev.minetest.net/Settings a bit confusing, it leads to think that syntax is minetest.Settings() or minetest.settings() in place of Settings() |
| 18:00 |
makayabou |
is Settings(filename):write() supposed to work? |
| 18:05 |
p_gimeno |
makayabou: I can't assure but it seems to me that using upper case S is a typo, see the example at the bottom |
| 18:08 |

with minetest.settings I get : editor.lua:78 : attempt to call field 'settings' (a userdata value) |

minetest.settings is basically minetest.settings = Settings("/path/to/minetest/dir/minetest.conf") |

...then I better sync these in a hurry |

kinda new at modding :/ how would i use this on a node? in understand that you replace minetest.chat_send_all("MInetest") with minetest.check_for_falling(), but how do i add this to a node? |

compare pos of player with pos of node |

JDCodeIt: I don't think Settings is available as a global |

It's not a method called on a node, it's a function that is called at init and keeps going all the time the game is on |

p_gimeno |
hard to say |
| 19:04 |
p_gimeno |
the Settings object does not exist with that name in Lua, it's a global constructor |
| 19:04 |
p_gimeno |
The Settings interface can be used to read config files... |
| 19:04 |
JDCodeIt |
.. how about : global function that returns an instance of an object, providing an interface to read config files... |
| 19:05 |
p_gimeno |
that would work I guess |
| 19:06 |
makayabou |
that seems clear to me |

makayabou: does the pyramids mod have an example of this already? have a look |
| 19:31 |
makayabou |
it uses only get_bool . get (get_key, get_bool, to_table) methods work well, it's the Settings(file):write I can't make work.. |
| 19:32 |
makayabou |
you were speaking of https://github.com/BlockMen/pyramids ? |
| 19:33 |
JDCodeIt |
makayabou: yes, seems to have something like what you are talking about - step on the wrong block, it falls |

BigCapabllito: so, sayed JDCodeIt, you should find something like you're trying in pyramids mod |
| 19:41 |
makayabou |
*like what |
| 19:42 |
JDCodeIt |
makaybou: is there maybe a permissions issue with write() - did it return true? |
| 19:42 |
makayabou |
BigCaballito: https://github.com/BlockMen/pyramids |
| 19:43 |
makayabou |
yes it returns true... |
| 19:45 |
makayabou |
Correct me if i'm wrong: 1/ I create a .conf file in my modpath 2/ I use Settings("my.conf"):set("key1","value1") 3/ Settings("my.conf"):write() |
| 19:47 |
BigCaballito |
thank you that is a lot more like what i was looking for |

you're welcome, JDCodeIt found it |

So is it using globalstep? |
| 19:50 |
JDCodeIt |
makayabou: you don't get the message like : Settings: writing " + o->m_filename + " not allowed with mod security on."); |
| 19:51 |
makayabou |
nope. local success = Settings(level_dir..base_def.name..".conf"):write() is true |
| 19:51 |
BigCaballito |
i don't think its using globalstep, it seems to be detecting if there is something on it, then if that thing is a player it nodeupdates() |
| 19:52 |
BigCaballito |
which needs to be changed to check_for_falling, obviously |
| 19:57 |
JDCodeIt |
makayabou: there is a call to updateConfigObject(is, os, ""); which is checking if anything changed - but strangely it passes only 3 arguments when the function has 4... |
| 19:58 |
JDCodeIt |
if this returns true, then the write() would return true without actually writing anything |
| 20:01 |
JDCodeIt |
if this returns *false, then... |
| 20:02 |
JDCodeIt |
...4th argument has a default=0... |
| 20:04 |
makayabou |
it is u32 tab_depth=0 ? |
| 20:06 |
makayabou |
I don't understand all that |
| 20:07 |
makayabou |
BigCaballito: i don't see where nodeupdates() is defined.. it uses on_timer in register node, and check all the time if playerObj is in radius |
| 20:08 |
makayabou |
I think that is the good solution for you. And I'll surely make something with it me too someday! |
| 20:09 |
BigCaballito |
line 21 in nodes.lua |
| 20:09 |
BigCaballito |
yes, thank you |
| 20:10 |
makayabou |
that's where it's called no? but the definition? I don't think there is. set_node should have been a replacement for it |
| 20:11 |
BigCaballito |
isn't it defined by minetest? and been replaced with minetest.check_for_falling in 5.x? |
| 20:12 |
makayabou |
if it was a global it would be called with minetest.updatenodes() |
| 20:13 |
BigCaballito |
idk, like i said i'm new to modding |
| 20:13 |
makayabou |
or maybe it was different before I don't know but I would be surprised |

makayabou: maybe gdb is the only way to find out for sure what is going on in there. The call to safeWriteToFile() will attempt to write a temp file (suffix .~mt) and rename it with overwrite to the target filename. |

with gdb, where to put mod I want to test ? it's in $MINETEST_DEBUG_FOLDER/mods/mymod but it's not shown by client. Games also are not from $MINETEST_DEBUG_FOLDER/games but from all minetests installed.. |

ive been reading https://dev.minetest.net/minetest.register_biome ... it seems that a point in space can only belong to 1 biome? theres no 90% tundra, 10% desert kind of thing? also it seems to not be possible to define biomes from any other parameter other than heat and humidity? |
| 21:31 |
p_gimeno |
makayabou: gdb can't be used with Lua code, but you can use it with C++ code |
| 21:33 |
makayabou |
I won't be able to do that.. |
| 21:36 |
p_gimeno |
makayabou: are the settings correctly preserved? if so, maybe the file path is not the one you expect |
| 21:37 |
makayabou |
I had to put it in my .minetest folder. |
| 21:50 |
makayabou |
JDCodeIt: with debug (5.1.0-dev-debug-ad75dba), I have ServerError: AsyncErr: ServerThread::run Lua: Settings: writing /home/makayabou/.minetest/games/level_editor_game/mods/level_editor/levels/deplacements.conf not allowed with mod security on. |

is there a newsletter for new releases? |

don't hink so |
| 21:58 |

| 22:13 |
makayabou |
JDCodeIt: If I deactivate security, Settings(f):write() returns true, and still nothing written in file, and no info in verbose debug. |
| 22:14 |
p_gimeno |
makayabou: I think you may be misunderstanding how it's used |
| 22:14 |
makayabou |
I do think so also.. |
| 22:14 |
p_gimeno |
you do e.g. local mysettings = Settings(f) |
| 22:15 |
makayabou |
Correct me if i'm wrong: 1/ I create a .conf file in my modpath 2/ I use Settings("my.conf"):set("key1","value1") 3/ Settings("my.conf"):write() |
| 22:15 |
p_gimeno |
then: mysettings:set("setting", "value") then mysettings:write() |
| 22:16 |
p_gimeno |
I think that the problem is that in your step 3, you're creating a new object that doesn't contain the value you set in step 2 |
| 22:16 |
p_gimeno |
the trick is to create one single object, set values in it, then write it back |
| 22:17 |
makayabou |
On init, i do local conf = Settings(level_dir..v):to_table() |
| 22:18 |
makayabou |
and it works, I get the table I want.. |
| 22:19 |
makayabou |
ah .. I have to "enclose" Settings(f) in a variable, and then call the variable rather than Settings(f) anew? |
| 22:19 |
p_gimeno |
exactly |
| 22:19 |
makayabou |
ah...let's try |
| 22:19 |
p_gimeno |
every time you call Settings(f), a new settings object is created which contains the current contents |
| 22:20 |
p_gimeno |
which means that you lose the previous value |

makayabou |
JDCodeIt: Sorry for bothering, was on me (that was for sure).. at least I did use gdb first time! |
| 22:48 |
makayabou |
p_gimeno: it is a bit the same with tables isn't it ?Often I don't grab the value I want in recursive tables. it's because I have to "kind of instantiate" all branches.. ? |
| 22:51 |
p_gimeno |
well... for some interpretation of your words, yes :) If you do a = { x = 1 }; b = a; b.x = 2; print(a.x) you get 2. |
| 22:52 |
p_gimeno |
If you want two independent nested tables, you need to deep-copy the source table. |
| 22:52 |
p_gimeno |
table.copy performs a deep copy |
| 22:53 |
p_gimeno |
(a deep copy is a "nested" copy, as opposed to a shallow copy which only copies the outermost table) |
| 23:04 |
makayabou |
table.copy ? I thought it did not exist after having read http://lua-users.org/wiki/CopyTable |
| 23:06 |
p_gimeno |
makayabou: it's implemented by minetest |
| 23:06 |
p_gimeno |
it's in lua_api.txt |
| 23:07 |
makayabou |
arrghh.. i never saw that and I'm always struggling with my tables!! But it's over now! Thanks! |
| 23:07 |
p_gimeno |
:) |
| 23:07 |

I did not ever think on looking for table.stuff in lua_api... |

Ideally, Minetest shouldn't be adding custom stuff to Lua modules, but things like string.trim and string.split are very useful. |
