Time Nick Message 01:28 archfan7411 Hello there; I've been having a weird issue with minetest.request_http_api() where it seems to return nil. 05:22 jas_ !mod 05:22 MinetestBot jas_: Pots, Crates and Chess [gifts] by Bas080 - https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=4550 06:13 gorilla Chess? 06:19 frostsnow lllI1I: You can set 'static_spawnpoint' in 'minetest.conf', but then you might spawn in a node. 11:17 MinetestBot 02[git] 04paly2 -> 03minetest/minetest: Add function `minetest.read_schematic` 13b206575 https://git.io/fj5Fh (152019-08-14T11:15:41Z) 13:04 lllI1I frostsnow: thanks for the start, anyway; maybe I could have a mod which forces a cave at the 0,0,0 mark somehow 14:03 DS-minetest I've got s problem with the forum 14:06 DS-minetest when I try making a new topic in WIP mods, it keeps saying (i hope, this is not too long): 14:06 DS-minetest General Error 14:06 DS-minetest SQL ERROR [ mysqli ] 14:06 DS-minetest Incorrect string value: '\xF0\x9F\x8E\x89\x0A\x0A...' for column 'post_text' at row 1 [1366] 14:06 DS-minetest An SQL error occurred while fetching this page.

14:19 rubenwardy MrChiantos: phpbb sucks 14:58 lllI1I found a use of `minetest.after(2.0, cb, player)` in games/minimal/mods/default in the function at line 18 14:59 lllI1I local cb = function(player) minetest.chat_send_player(player:get_player_name(), "This is...") 15:00 DS-minetest this can indeed ba a problem 15:00 lllI1I I've read every which way this will cause a crash if the player logs out before it fires 15:00 DS-minetest you could make a PR 15:01 lllI1I I don't think I have a github 15:01 DS-minetest (btw. the comment is wrong too) 15:01 lllI1I could I write a patch and give it to someone else with which to make a PR 15:01 lllI1I yeah I was confused by the comment but less of an issue 15:01 DS-minetest I could open a PR for you if you want :) 15:01 lllI1I appreciate it 15:02 DS-minetest (but I've never done something like this before) 15:02 MrChiantos you don't need github for commit or pr, only git ^^ 15:02 lllI1I how do I do a PR without signing up for github? 15:02 MrChiantos if you have git, you can commit on github, gitlab or other ;) 15:03 MrChiantos use git client or github client 15:03 MrChiantos clone and pr ;) 15:03 DS-minetest but you can't make a fork on github or press on that new pr button 15:03 MrChiantos you can use local git 15:03 MrChiantos and pr on github ;) 15:04 lllI1I uhhh I might need a bit of handholding for that 15:04 lllI1I didn't know PR's were a part of git proper 15:04 lllI1I oh I see I see 15:05 lllI1I man git is your friend 15:05 sfan5 what's wrong with that piece of code you found? 15:05 lllI1I sfan5: crash if I join and leave immediately 15:05 DS-minetest https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/b2065756cf9c90d493846a559587e4acec4a7851/games/minimal/mods/default/init.lua#L18 15:05 sfan5 oh 15:11 MrChiantos I'm watching because I do not see anything wrong with this piece of code. 15:11 MrChiantos maybe bom problem 15:12 rubenwardy common mistake number 1: https://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/en/quality/common_mistakes.html#never-store-objectrefs-ie-players-or-entities 15:12 lllI1I I wrote up a change but uhh 15:13 sfan5 what is the alternative if you want to keep track of an entity, though? 15:13 lllI1I waiting to push it to a friend's private repo because not sure if he'd appreciate it being linked anywhere 15:13 lllI1I sfan5: I'd go with saving the name, then checking to see if they're still online 15:14 rubenwardy Minetest doesn't offer an alternative 15:14 rubenwardy you *can* store them if you're careful 15:15 MrChiantos minimal is only for test , this is not really for use ;) 15:15 rubenwardy The formspecs chapter has been rewritten, and covers a lot more 15:15 rubenwardy !book formspec 15:15 MinetestBot rubenwardy: Formspecs - https://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book//en/players/formspecs.html 15:15 lllI1I I'm using it to build a simple game off of 15:15 rubenwardy minimal isn't designed to be used as a base 15:16 rubenwardy it's minimal *development test* 15:16 rubenwardy it contains loads of random stuff and test utilities 15:16 MrChiantos for build a simple game, you can use minetest game (mtg) 15:16 lllI1I yeah I'm throwing out some of the other mods 15:17 lllI1I this is more for the uhh beginnings 15:17 rubenwardy you should also rename default to something else if you're not compatible with MTG default 15:17 rubenwardy I should write a PR to do that for minimal 15:17 lllI1I see how the concept plays before going further 15:18 lllI1I should the mod name be something like just the game name or "[gamename]_default" or something like that? 15:18 lllI1I or _base etc 15:18 rubenwardy well, probably 15:18 rubenwardy yeah 15:19 rubenwardy I'd do _base with only the essential mapgen stuff 15:19 rubenwardy then have a mod for furnaces, and chests, etc 15:19 rubenwardy makes managing features a little easier imo 15:19 MrChiantos lua is really cool for modding ^^ 17:18 Copenhagen_Bram Why doesn't flowing water push the player around yet? 17:18 sfan5 pretty sure there was a PR 17:20 Copenhagen_Bram huh 17:20 Copenhagen_Bram knockback from mob attacks would be neat too 17:24 * DS-minetest made a branch with pushing water some time ago 17:25 pauloue lllI1I: I'm not getting that crash in minimal 17:25 pauloue obejctref methods just do nothing and return nil or empty string if there is not object, so it should be fine 17:25 lllI1I you'd have to disconnect within 2 seconds for it to trigger 17:25 pauloue I did that 17:25 lllI1I also I didn't test it so I'm not 100% on it 17:27 lllI1I I gotta head out soon though so 17:47 tacotexmex Hey lllI1I, check out https://github.com/minetest-game-mods if you only want some of the MTG mods (for use as submodules etc) 19:36 Doomsdayrs Hello! 21:37 MinetestBot 02[git] 04DS-Minetest -> 03minetest/minetest: Fix undeclared global warning because of _ (#8798) 13082066e https://git.io/fjdUv (152019-08-14T21:35:47Z)
