12:59 epoch       anyone want a bookmarklet to linkify the address column of https://servers.minetest.net/ ?
13:18 Joseph15    Hello! I have a modding question.
13:18 epoch       ok
13:19 Krock       ok
13:19 Joseph15    If I have 2 craftitems or tools and I want to replace item one with item two when I release Left Mouse Button, How would I do that?
13:19 Joseph15    or right mouse button
13:19 Joseph15    I meant right
13:19 Joseph15    I know about the controls mod but idk how to make that work
13:20 Joseph15    also, I looked at some bow mods that do this for charging the bow, but I got confused by the code
13:20 Krock       local old_rmb = player:get_player_controls().rmb
13:20 Joseph15    and use that as a function of the craftitem?
13:21 Krock       then get the new rmb value to see whether it got released
13:21 Krock       you'll have to keep that variable stored somewhere
13:21 Joseph15    Hmmm ok
13:21 Krock       thing is: there's no callback when releasing a mouse button, so you could register a globalstep callback
13:22 Joseph15    ok, but is there docs on that?
13:22 Joseph15    I'm still new to lua coding
13:22 Joseph15    I understand callbacks just not globalstep callbacks
13:24 Krock       hmm.. what if you try after_use? https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L5973
13:25 Joseph15    this would be only left click though, right?
13:26 Joseph15    I'm trying to make a blocking mod, where if you are holding the mod's sword and right click, it will replace with another item that is the blocking sword version
13:26 Krock       well then.. on_place to record the first time when the button was pressed
13:26 Joseph15    I got that working
13:27 Joseph15    the issue is putting the non-blocking sword back once you release rightclick
13:27 Krock       https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L3692
13:27 Krock       1) as soon on_place is called, put the player name into a mod's local table
13:27 Krock       2) iterate through these entires each step
13:28 Krock       3) when the player control "rmb" is no longer set, reset the wielded item
13:28 Krock       4) ???
13:28 Krock       5) profit
13:29 Joseph15    ok, so somethinglike this? minetest.register_globalstep(function(dtime)) if player:get_player_controls().rmb  <insert replacement code here>
13:29 Joseph15    probably not that exact code but somethinglike it right?
13:37 Joseph15    sorry but I'm still on the lesser side of understandig, oof

13:41 Krock       untested
14:03 bingfengfsx 共和有两个层面意思：一是，指的是不同的政治机构间的各安其分、和谐共处，它包括政治体系的立法、行政和司法等主要部门；二是，指的是不同政治群体和政治力量，如政党、区域、民族，乃至国家之间在宪法、法律和国际法基础上各安其分的过程和状态。
14:04 bingfengfsx Sorry, I sent it in the wrong place.
14:58 Joseph15    Thanks Krock, I will test it later.
16:28 epoch       https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeder_reactor one of these in technic would be neat
17:45 Joseph15_   How could I make it so if you are holding a certain item in your hand you take less damage when hit by another player?
17:47 Joseph15_   Like if I were to hold a shield item in my hand take half damage only when holding it
17:52 rubenwardy  register_on_hpchange, Joseph15_
17:54 Joseph15_   so on the register hp change I will then give hearts back?
17:55 Joseph15_   Like local hp change?
17:57 Joseph15_   Local hp_gain
18:03 rubenwardy  you can return a new HP
18:04 Joseph15_   So like, if I take 4 hearts of damage, return two?
22:00 Ruslan1     VanessaE
22:01 VanessaE    yes?
22:01 Ruslan1     I was pm you
22:01 VanessaE    don't.
22:01 Ruslan1     Why
22:02 VanessaE    I don't like to use pm's.  anything you need to say can be said in public.
22:02 VanessaE    (mostly)
22:03 Ruslan1     Ok I join your channel
22:04 VanessaE    you can't.
22:04 VanessaE    you must use a real IRC client, and you must register your nick with nickserv.
22:04 VanessaE    webchat won't do.
22:04 Ruslan1     Oh
22:05 Ruslan1     I’ll switch it
22:06 Ruslan1     I’m gonna change my nick
22:11 VanessaE    kiwiirc is not a real irc client
22:11 Ruslan1     VanessaE I’m back
22:13 Ruslan1     VanessaE give me link
22:13 VanessaE    google it :P
22:13 VanessaE    if you don't know what a real IRC client is versus webchat, you don't need to be in my server channel.
22:13 VanessaE    no offense.
22:14 Ruslan1     Ok
22:17 Ruslan1     This one
22:18 Ruslan1     Here is real one
22:19 Ruslan1     I join real one
22:19 Ruslan1     VanessaE
22:20 VanessaE    that's a webchat.
22:20 VanessaE    not an irc client.
22:21 Ruslan1     Yes
22:22 VanessaE    no.
22:22 VanessaE    it is not.
22:23 Ruslan1     Ok maybe I won’t join your channel
22:26 Ruslan1     VanessaE
22:40 ircSparky   is the dir from on_punchplayer different than vector.direction(hitterpos, playerpos) for any particular reason? it seems to just point from one players feet to the others head, the y value increases to ~1 when the players are at the same position, and lowers  as they get farther away
22:41 ircSparky   if the remove the y value and normalize they end up the same
22:44 ircSparky   not sure, it's just weird. It seems like it would be better to just send the hitters look direction
22:49 VanessaE    sounds like a bug to m
22:49 VanessaE    me*
22:50 ircSparky   ill see if there anything related in the git issues
23:27 ircSparky   dosnt look like there is one
23:42 mothrah     Hello. Not sure if this server is more for modders or players, but if anyone has info about manipulating the "heat" and "humidity" values in the biomes API to better space my biomes, I would love it hear it!
23:42 VanessaE    "this server"?
23:43 VanessaE    you're on a general Minetest chat channel :)
23:43 epoch       I bet they came from discord
23:43 clavi       nope, the glorious webchat
23:44 mothrah     I did come from discord, yes. This general, abstractly-defined place.
23:45 p_gimeno    mothrah: there's a thread in the forums dedicated to Q&A relative to map generation, I'd say that's your best shot
23:46 p_gimeno    https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=15272
23:48 tune        it's called a channel, it's on the freenode server
23:49 clavi       and discord has no servers, just chatrooms
23:49 tune        iirc the things people call servers are internally called guilds
23:49 tune        never used it personally but it's hard to ignore the unsightly monster
23:50 mothrah     Thank you for the link. Browsing it now.
23:50 galaxie     tune: Discord? Yeah, it's hideous. Try using it in Tor.
23:50 mothrah     So. . . this is a guild?
23:50 tune        this is an irc channel
23:50 galaxie     mothrah: IRC channel.
23:50 tune        was talking about discord for a sec
23:50 mothrah     Gotcha.
23:52 p_gimeno    freenode is a network of servers actually, the individual servers have little relevance because their only purpose is to distribute load, e.g. I'm on leguin.freenode.net, tune is on livingstone.freenode.net, mothrah is on herbert.freenode.net...
23:54 VanessaE    and by servers, p_gimeno means the underlying chat network, not minetest.
