Time Nick Message 14:18 ntat Hello. How can be deep a map? I digg and digg and I am now in -4000 and nothing ;-) 15:07 calcul0n ntat, the map is about 60000 blocks wide in all direction 15:07 calcul0n so it can go down to -30000 15:24 ntat calcul0n: wow it is to big to digg :-D 15:50 clavi if you dig straight down with a fast pickaxe, you can reach the bottom manually 15:51 clavi you could teleport of course but that's cheating 18:07 jonadab Of course, if you are seriously dedicated to the game you will construct a spiral staircase from the bottom to the top. 18:08 jonadab NOt sure if there would be enough lava to support making that entirely out of obsidian. Perhaps not. 18:10 Krock moreblocks' circular saw 18:10 Krock thin staircases to save materials 18:10 Krock easy win 18:32 scr267 I keep running into this bug, I know tenplus1 ran into this some time ago... does anyone know of a solution to this, or at least some way of troubleshooting it? emerge.cpp:2a3: virtual void* EmergeThread::run(): A fatal error occurred: std::bad_alloc 18:35 sfan5 std::bad_alloc means Minetest ran out of RAM 18:36 scr267 sfan5 oh seriously? 18:36 sfan5 yes 18:36 scr267 hum cool, good point i shall try to increase memory then 18:36 scr267 I thought it was just trying to access some memory portion that didn't belong to it, but I guess that would be a segfault.... or an out of memory :) 18:38 scr267 Man and I thought I was good with servers ... ... ... I'm going to go back into my corner and open up linux for dummies 18:38 scr267 haha jk, thanks for the help sfan5 :) 18:47 jonadab Just add a 512 GB swapfile ;-) 18:49 scr267 BWAHAHAA 18:49 HDMI_STECKDOSE mhh? 18:49 scr267 Well, it might be a wee bit slower, but at least it won't be crashing XD 18:51 jonadab Then run some software that has a bad memory leak, until the 512 GB of swap is mostly in use. Then close the software that has the leak, and immediately sudo swapoff -a 18:51 scr267 hehehehe ouch*** flush the swap to memory 18:52 jonadab Good times. 18:54 Krock downloadmoreram.com 18:54 jonadab I've actually been around long enough to remember the times before the Linux OOM killer was added; if you ran out of swap space, a simple operation like exiting a program could take over an hour to happen. 18:54 Krock jonadab: or just valgrind the bloody thing 18:54 jonadab Krock: Haha. 18:56 Ingar jonadab: in those days, my sysadmin thought me to make sure to 0-terminate C strings 18:57 Ingar I was a bit confused why the shell server would stop responding when I ran my program :D 18:58 jonadab Hmm, let's create a swap file on an NFS-mounted filesystem... 19:01 scr267 jonadab: You really like painful experiments :) 19:01 scr267 Run a special docker container which serves a swap file over an NFS 19:02 scr267 I'm sure theres an xkcd about something like that XD 19:02 jonadab Was NFS still being used by the time Docker came around? 19:02 Ingar scr267: https://xkcd.com/1495/ ? 19:02 jonadab Though I suppose these days we could use zfs. 19:02 scr267 Ingar: Hahahaa nice 19:03 scr267 I wonder if you could cluster an NFS mounted swap file? active active 19:04 scr267 just to make sure its highly available 19:04 scr267 5 9s 19:04 jonadab With the xkcd approach, it'll probably have nine fives of uptime. 19:04 jonadab 55.5555555% 19:05 scr267 LOL after a couple of reboots it might just fail completely 19:05 jonadab I mean, the correct way to automate a periodic reboot is with cron. 19:07 jonadab I used to have a server set to reboot every Thursday morning around 8am. Because that was my early day (I got in by 8:30), so if anything went wrong with the reboot, I'd already be there and not get a call at home. 20:49 rtalk101 just found out about minetest, it's really cool 20:50 Genshin rtalk101, Glad you like it as well 20:51 Genshin I am getting really close to completing the Dungeon crawl editor. 20:52 Krock rtalk101: glad you didn't look at the bug tracker yet 20:53 Lone_Wolf Seems like someone spawned in an ice biome again 20:53 Lone_Wolf :clap: for DCE though 20:53 Krock isn't that cool? 20:53 VanessaE rtalk101: welcome :) be aware that we're a random bunch of nutjobs -- or how did c55 put it originally? :) 20:53 Krock uh. a random VanessaE appeared o// 20:53 VanessaE hi. 20:54 Krock although it's an unusual choice of words 20:54 jonadab I originally spawned in an ice biome. But I eventually relocated to a landmass with grassland and savanna and desert biomes. 20:54 jonadab Took pine saplings with me, though. 20:54 * Lone_Wolf hates cool biomes 20:54 Menche jonadab ;o 20:54 Krock Lone_Wolf: install a snowman mod 20:54 Krock and skiing mod.. as soon that exists 20:54 VanessaE Krock: I'm referencing a phrase that c55 once used on the website to describe the modders and devs, but can't remember how he put it :) 20:55 jonadab Oh, heh, didn't know you were here, Menche. I thought you played the other game. 20:55 Menche :D 20:55 Menche same 20:55 Krock there is no other game aside Minetest. it's a singularity you cannot escape 20:56 Genshin If anyone wants to see some progress with the dungeon crawl editor, here is a screenshot X) https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/306168088032706561/674161168864247808/Screenshot_at_2020-02-03_23-24-20.png? 20:56 Krock "** DANGER" ... *villain music starts playing* 20:57 Krock that's a lot of particle spawners 20:58 Genshin I might tone the particles down a bit for some of these NPCs 20:58 Lone_Wolf Wait, you have Discord Genshin? 20:58 Genshin yes 20:58 Lone_Wolf Are you on the UMTD by any chance? 20:59 Krock or add more to increase the boss defeating difficulty. that amount could already cause my computer to drop several frames 20:59 Krock Boss + Stutter vs Lonely Figher 20:59 Genshin Krock, I did worked on a phase feature for bosses, so they do transform along the way 21:00 Krock Genshin: that's impressive. So will there also be a rare skill to dual-wield tools? 21:00 Genshin Lone_Wolf, Unfortunately I'm am not on the UMTD. 21:00 Genshin Krock, I am planning to make a dual wield thing 21:01 Genshin it's tricky, but only works on 3rd person im afraid X) 21:01 Lone_Wolf Ah, ok, I have an invite if you want one 21:01 Krock indeed 21:01 Krock aBsoLuTe pROprIeTaRy 21:01 Genshin Sure Lone_Wolf 21:02 Lone_Wolf https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8038 (Not the invite, but a issue you'd be interested in) 21:02 Krock !title 21:02 sfan5 huh 21:02 Krock MinetestBot 21:02 Krock where are you 21:02 sfan5 probably lost in the netsplit earlier 21:02 Krock thanks :) 21:03 LWBot Entity attached to player is only visible in third person camera modes (actually a request, not a bug) 21:04 Krock and attached meshes lagging behind the parent bone is a feature 21:07 Krock btw, attachment positions won't work properly on invisible meshes (1st person player) so you'd unlikely get a nicely attached entity in 1st person view 21:07 Krock that's to destroy some hopes 21:51 scr267 Anyone seen this type of lua panic error before? cpp_api/s_base.cpp:89: static int ScriptApiBase::luaPanic(lua_State*): A fatal error occurred: LUA PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (attempt to call a nil value) 21:54 Genshin What did you tried to do? 22:00 Genshin or describe the nature of the occurrence 22:00 sfan5 did you search the issue tracker? 22:11 scr267 I found this in the issue tracker so I'm looking through the mods I have: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/7835 22:15 sfan5 that one was fixed in 5.1.x though 22:15 scr267 so I thought... somehow I'm getting a similar error, but I'm not sure that its caused by this issue. 22:15 scr267 I'm on 5.1.1 by the way 22:19 Genshin Could probably be that you were trying to access a field that does not exist 22:20 scr267 could this be the cause? https://paste.centos.org/view/bbf6ab68 22:20 scr267 I found an earlier conversation where sfan5 tells another user not to do that: http://irc.minetest.net/minetest/2019-12-11 22:21 Genshin have you tried using method get_luaentity? 22:21 Genshin that might solve it 22:22 scr267 No, I'm not coding any mod... I'm updating mods that I already have - and which in those versions work... unfortunately due to the nature of the error, I can't pinpoint which mod is the cause 22:22 scr267 culprit 22:22 scr267 Unfortunately I have to go 22:22 scr267 Ill be back later and I'll try to remove some mods ... see if I can replicate 22:22 sfan5 that might be your best bet 22:23 sfan5 or go annoy a coredev to implement backtraces for such an error 22:24 Genshin Does remove function remove a entity with a specific userdata? 22:24 Genshin does it require a userdata input? 22:25 sfan5 which function are you referring to? 22:25 Genshin :remove() 22:26 sfan5 should work 22:34 Genshin scr267, try this fix https://pastebin.com/NhtvZSiJ 22:35 Genshin forgot to add double quotes on the strings X) 22:38 Genshin scr267, fixed: https://pastebin.com/RWb4zGLi 22:47 sfan5 that might still break when an object is removed while you iterate 22:48 sfan5 generally you aren't supposed to touch minetest.luaentities anyway 23:00 kurtzmusch how can i join that minetest discord? its been a long time since i used discord 23:07 scr267 Thanks for the advice guys 23:08 df458 kurtzmusch: Try this link, https://discord.gg/Wr6eXU3 23:18 kurtzmusch thanks
