00:34 paramat     BillyS "Is there some way that I could make a minetest map more unified? In other words, still have the normal 31000 map size, but only have a couple biomes?" just 'unregister' all the biomes you don't want, there's an API to unregister single biomes
00:35 paramat     working with noise will be far more difficult to tune
00:35 BillyS      paramat: I didn't put that well.  I want all the normal biomes, I just want them to be bigger
00:35 BillyS      And I found out how to
00:35 BillyS      I increased the "spread" parameter on mg_biome_np_heat and mg_biome_np_humidity
00:35 paramat     and no, altering biomes won't affect terrain
00:36 BillyS      Yeah, so it seemed
00:36 BillyS      It still looks realistic tho
00:36 BillyS      So idrk
00:36 paramat     ah
00:36 BillyS      Well, realistic for a MT game :P
00:36 paramat     correct, just increase the heat/hymidity noise 'spreads'
00:37 paramat     *humidity
00:37 BillyS      Alright, thanks :)
01:02 kurtzmusch  BilliS: if you want you can increase the size of the terrain aswell
07:54 JoJo_       Hello
10:37 Emerald2    Hey Wuzzy. Slowly building my uncoloured brick house.
10:37 Emerald2    May be pics one day.
10:39 Emerald2    And in the distant future, the bricks will get coloured.
11:24 humhumhum   hello, is Illuna server custom mod collection available to public or not?
11:24 humhumhum   I can't find any links to repos but its never expressly mentioned on their site or forum that its closed source
11:31 Emerald2    That would be a question for the illuna admins.
11:31 humhumhum   hm k i thought they'd be here
11:32 Emerald2    Some of them but more of them in #illuna
11:32 humhumhum   btw why doesn't technic chainsaw support ethereal trees?
11:33 humhumhum   it supports default trees, moretrees, some other mod I've never heard of, but not ethereal which is tree mod #2 right after moretrees
11:33 ShadowBot   https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2 -- Burned wood
11:33 Emerald2    I've managed to use it on some moretrees in the past, but that was some time ago, so uhh good question.
11:36 Emerald2    OK so looking at github, they added poplar to moretrees last month.
11:36 Emerald2    What trees isn't it cutting?
11:36 humhumhum   which is why i'm asking btw, illuna uses modified technic which does support ethereal wood, thought to grab their version but couldnt
11:36 Emerald2    Err I mean they added poplar to the chainsaw in technic last month.
11:36 humhumhum   no, not moretrees
11:36 humhumhum   ETHEREAL
11:37 Emerald2    Sorry my brain apparently picked up where you said moretrees and missed the ethereal. It's late here.
11:40 humhumhum   to work with ethereal technic needs two modifications: chainsaw supporting ethereal trees and rubber tree replacing leaves with unwalkable ones, currently default technic + default ethereal results in rubber tree being the odd one out as its the only tree with leaves you can walk on
11:41 Emerald2    Check this out. https://github.com/h-v-smacker/technic/blob/master/technic/tools/chainsaw.lua#L126
11:42 humhumhum   who's this dude, just yesterday you smashed my face into his other repo
11:42 Emerald2    Oh yeah lol. I don't know him.
11:44 Emerald2    He's sure way ahead with technic stuff though.
11:45 humhumhum   no wait it was the very same repo yesterday
11:46 humhumhum   how am i so stupid
11:46 Emerald2    Oh yeah you're the one I pointed at some HV machines.
11:55 Emerald2    Clearly it's time for me to go to bed. Good luck with your quest. :)
12:29 robdrake    Hello
12:37 humhumhum   hi
12:44 humhumhum   >Good luck with your quest.
12:44 humhumhum   Brodyquest thing is still playing in my head
12:44 humhumhum   Cant get rid of it
14:58 robdrake    Hello, to get the latest Minetest version for my VPS, I had to add a ppa, and am using minetest --server, how do I get the console to open up?
15:01 rubenwardy  the interative console?
15:01 rubenwardy  you need to compile with ncurses support
15:01 rubenwardy  not sure if the PPA does that
15:01 rubenwardy  then there's a command line option, use --help to find out
15:08 robdrake    ok thanks
16:12 robdrake    actually, compiled with ncurses help, I've set the name = option in the admin section, but when I try and start the server, I the a message saying name is not set
16:13 robdrake    on my vps, does the name = need to be my user name, or minetest name?
16:38 sfan5       robdrake: the latter
16:56 robdrake    I'll see what I can do, thanks, and sorry for all the bother\
16:57 p_gimeno    <rubenwardy> !tell majochup  Flatpak stores mods in   ~/.var/app/net.minetest.Minetest/.minetest/mods/
16:57 p_gimeno    rubenwardy: would that be a good addition for http://wiki.minetest.com/wiki/Installing_mods ?
16:57 rubenwardy  probably
16:59 p_gimeno    gah, got to change the UPS batteries first, hope I don't forget later
17:05 robdrake    uhm, sorry to bother, I'm on the minetest page, what is the url for setting up a server?
17:06 lllI1I      https://wiki.minetest.net/Server
17:06 lllI1I      is this it
17:07 lllI1I      https://wiki.minetest.net/Setting_up_a_server
17:07 lllI1I      no it's this sorry
17:10 robdrake    I found it
17:10 robdrake    but thank you
17:29 Andrey01    hello, i read about "Spatial Vectors" now in lua_api.txt and it says they use relative positions, not world coordinates, but relative to what then are they counted off?
17:49 Andrey01    Does anybody know relatively to what are spatial vectors counted off? Just I didn`t understand it
17:50 p_gimeno    um, wait, what is wiki.minetest.com?
17:50 rubenwardy  it's old
17:50 p_gimeno    wow
17:51 p_gimeno    how many wikis are left behind? because there's also the doku.minetest.net one
18:05 robdrake    I've found nothing on my admin name problem
20:10 robdrake    still no luck
20:11 robdrake    anyplace to paste my current minetest.conf?
20:13 robdrake    https://termbin.com/njk4
20:14 rubenwardy  robdrake: are you sure you're editing minetest.conf? That file looks like the contents of minetest.conf.example
20:14 robdrake    yeah, used the example
20:14 robdrake    not a good idea?
20:15 rubenwardy  makes it harder to see what you've changed
20:15 robdrake    I copied .example to minetest.conf
20:15 robdrake    so just start over?
20:16 nri         rubenwardy: hello, are there any good mods or a way to make a live map for my server?
20:16 nri         *interactive map
20:17 rubenwardy  robdrake: no need, quickly made this https://gist.github.com/rubenwardy/98aa9965219a02e1af9bb4cfd6ebb934     (   sed '/^#/ d' conf.conf | sed '/^$/d'   )
20:17 rubenwardy  nri: never done that
20:17 nri         oh ok
20:17 nri         VE has one
20:18 rubenwardy  that's leaflet
20:18 rubenwardy  not live
20:18 rubenwardy  it updates daily
20:18 nri         oh ok
20:18 rubenwardy  this looks like a live map:   https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=21999
20:18 rubenwardy  not sure on stability
20:18 nri         thnx
20:20 rubenwardy  robdrake:    you could try passing in name using    --name draker      to the minetest command
20:20 nri         i have tryed that before it did not work
20:20 robdrake    oh? I'll try that
20:20 robdrake    thanks for the help
20:21 rubenwardy  oh also, you have to sign in using the Minetest at least once before using the ncurses console
20:21 rubenwardy  if you're the same person
20:22 robdrake    oh
20:22 VanessaE    rubenwardy: my maps update weekly.
20:29 robdrake    rubenwardy, I found out the stoppage only happens with the --terminal option
20:29 robdrake    but if the server starts, there is no admin
20:29 Emerald2    Aww rubenwardy beat me to pandorabox dude's mapserver. :P
20:30 robdrake    also, when connected to the server, the /admin command shows .
20:31 robdrake    and --name was an invalid option
20:33 Emerald2    nri: you tried it when and it didn't work how?
20:35 robdrake    so 0.4 is the only stable branch?
20:35 robdrake    not 5.1?
20:37 clavi       5.0 is stable atm
20:37 Emerald2    5.0.1 is the current stable I believe.
20:37 clavi       yes
20:38 clavi       latest bugfix release for 5.0 branch
20:38 Emerald2    Bugfix release for 5.0
20:38 clavi       5.1 is dev branch
20:40 clavi       0.4(.17.1) is oldstable so to speak
20:40 clavi       actually not cause I don't think there'll be bug fixes for the old 0.4 branch anymore
20:42 robdrake    trying to get a ubuntu install of 5.0.1, the package names are a little confusing and not found
21:13 sfan5       you can also just compile from source, it's not too hard
22:12 MinetestBot Ruslan1: Apr-23 14:56 UTC <nri> soory about not being avaibile the other day what do you need to tell me? I forgot that you also have a minecity.online server
22:33 nri         Hey riff
