08:36 Daisae         I want oredetect or equivalent in order to test whether mods are generating nodes they should be.  Please let me know where to get a copy.
08:43 luk3yx         One thing you could possibly do is select a WorldEdit region and do //suppress <node_name>
08:44 luk3yx         And it should say "?? nodes suppressed"
08:44 luk3yx         And use //restore to un-suppress them
08:44 luk3yx         There's probably a better way, but I don't know many WE commands.
09:25 Daisae         Thanks for the idea.

17:16 VanessaE       heh
17:16 Krock          gotcha, lurker VanessaE

18:25 CopenBra[m]    Has anyone tried writing music for Minetest?
18:26 Krock          there are ambience music mods around, but the works are not written for Minetest
18:26 Krock          and android players are quite upset with them as it causes long loading times and high ram usage
18:28 CopenBra[m]    <Krock "and android players are quite up"> Why is that?
18:28 Krock          " it causes long loading times and high ram usage"
18:29 Krock          although I'm not sure whether also music is kept in the media cache (forever)
18:38 jluc           is that an issue for a mod ?
20:29 Andrey01       hi, I want to use some items from another mod for registering an item`s craft,  but it causes "Invalid crafting recipe (output='adv_vehicles:bmw118_two_seats')" because that mod having those items is not loaded yet (the modname`s first letter on the alphabet follows for the first letter of the name of my mod). What to do me?
20:34 VanessaE       optdepends
20:34 calcul0n       Andrey01, add the mod name in your depends.txt file
20:34 VanessaE       modname? -> depends.txt
20:34 VanessaE       (with a question mark)
20:38 Wuzzy          VanessaE: calcul0n: depends.txt is deprecated...
20:38 VanessaE       maybe
20:38 VanessaE       but shittons of mods use it
20:39 VanessaE       and it'll probably still continue to work for quite a while longer eyet
20:39 VanessaE       -e
20:39 calcul0n       hut, really?
20:39 VanessaE       yeah
20:40 calcul0n       is it just a new filename or depends are handled differently?
20:40 VanessaE       mod.conf, depends = aaa,bbb,ccc,...  optdepends = xxx,yyy,zzz,...
20:40 VanessaE       I think is the new way
20:40 calcul0n       ho, ok
20:42 Andrey01       I added modname to the mod.conf and it causes that error
20:42 VanessaE       then you did it wrong :P
20:43 Andrey01       I don`t know how to do that properly
20:44 VanessaE       rubenwardy: the modding book does not describe opt depends in mod.conf, nor does the wiki
20:44 VanessaE       this is actually somewhat undocumented :-/
20:44 rubenwardy     lua_api :P
20:44 rubenwardy     it's  optional_depends
20:44 VanessaE       oh
20:44 rubenwardy     the wiki isn't official docs anyway
20:45 rubenwardy     does STK
20:45 rubenwardy     * https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L164
20:45 Andrey01       the mod whose items I want to use is not loaded yet as I explained already above and therefore  the item`s recipe is invalid
20:45 VanessaE       Andrey01: and that's that dependency resolver is for.
20:45 VanessaE       what*
20:46 VanessaE       +the
20:46 VanessaE       the mod with the items you need much appear in depends.txt, or mod.conf depends= field, or optional_depends=
20:46 VanessaE       must*
20:49 Andrey01       it is in depends.txt
20:49 Andrey01       but problem is that it is not loaded
20:51 Andrey01       and that`s why its items can not be used in 'recipe' field
20:52 VanessaE       maybe you just got the name wront
20:53 VanessaE       wrong*
20:55 Andrey0143     names of the itemstrings that used in that field are correct
20:56 LoneWolfHT     They mean the name of the mod I think
20:56 VanessaE       indeed so
20:57 Andrey0185     hmm, why do I join with other nickname?
20:57 Andrey0185     I joined as "Andrey01"
21:23 luk3yx         VanessaE: It's "optional_depends" (unless it accepts both)
21:25 VanessaE       yeah, yeah, whatever :P
21:25 VanessaE       I hate the mod.conf method btw
21:25 VanessaE       comma-separated lists as used there are far less readable than one-item-per-line as in depends.txt
23:48 luk3yx         I'd prefer mod.conf if you could split depends and optional_depends over multiple lines (feature request?)
23:53 nepugia        comma seperated list editing with some text editor or echo modname >> depends.txt... what to choose ;)
23:56 rubenwardy     when modding, I typically already have a text editor open
23:56 rubenwardy     having one file is nice
