09:08 MinetestBot tacotexmex: I'll pass that on when NathanS21 is around
11:31 NathanS21   I'll take a look at that tacotexmex

15:42 fluxflux    question: How do I get the ID of an entity through the Lua API? Is it even possible?
15:43 sfan5       it's not
15:45 fluxflux    hm. so is the minetest.luaentities table useful for anything?
15:45 fluxflux    I mean, i can iterate through it and compare my entity to the entities in there, and get the ID that way, but that doesn't seem scalable...
15:48 sfan5       ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
15:53 fluxflux    I suppose I can explain a little about what I'm trying to do - to store some sort of reference to a few entities associated w/ a node, so I can remove those entities on some condition
15:54 fluxflux    I suppose I could store a my own table mapping positions to lists of entities. that'd work.
15:54 fluxflux    Alright, I think I'm good.
15:55 sfan5       worldedit just stored the entity handle itself
15:55 sfan5       but it also attempts to keep the area those entities exist in loaded
15:56 sfan5       that approach hasn't causes any problems so far
16:01 fluxflux    worldedit affects entities? I didn't realize. I'll take a look at that.
16:03 sfan5       no it has its own entities to show you which area you have marked
16:07 fluxflux    yup, I'm saw that's what you meant. That's basically the approach I'd decided to take, indexing by position instead of player namej
16:14 fluxflux    What happens if remove() is called on the same entity more than once?
16:17 rubenwardy  either nothing or a crash
16:22 fluxflux    ... is that an "i don't know" or "it depends on whether the data was actually GC'ed"?
16:23 sfan5       a bit of both, probably
16:23 fluxflux    well, i suppose i'll find out...
16:49 scr267      Anyone know if it's possible to write a lua script which could temporarily suspend all technic machines on the server, or at least prevent their abms from being called?
16:49 scr267      Ideally, its to build a master 'off' switch for technic machines, and etc...
16:52 pauloue     you could probably remove all technic abms from minetest.registered_abms, then restore them later
16:53 scr267      pauloue, that sounds conceivable... would it mean that I would have to track what was removed and what needs to be re-added?
16:53 Krock       ANAND: so you sent the memo to me or pauloue? both?
16:53 ANAND       pauloue wanted to say that to you
16:54 Krock       oh. log forward
16:54 Krock       *reads log instead*
16:55 pauloue     scr267: you could save the removed abms in a local table
16:58 scr267      pauloue, ok - thanks for the info :)
16:59 Krock       pauloue: oh, I thought the replacement would replace the input, and the input would be moved to the "failed" output i.e. output.replacements
17:02 Krock       that stuff is more complicated to me than it ought to be
17:05 pauloue     it seems reasonable to me. If extra input items were moved, you wouldn't be able to craft multiple things with replacements at the same time
17:06 Krock       I see

20:33 puzzlecube  Has anyone compiled Minetest before and ran into a segfault which gdb blames on _XSend? Been trying to figure this nonsense out for a week now and I still only had one random build that worked only under gdb. Specifically I am trying to compile for NetBSD and surely there is a way to get it to work or it wouldn't have a version (that won't build) in its package manager. Any ideas?
21:02 sfan5       backtrace?
21:39 puzzlecube  Not much to look at but here: https://pastebin.com/WZnxH953
22:09 sfan5       oh an x11 crash
22:10 sfan5       try commenting out RenderingEngine::setupTopLevelWindow(), it's non-essential to the functionality of the game
23:16 DarylSun    What are the Creative servers that allow mobile clients? I want to play Minetest with a friend, but all we have are our phones.
