02:47 TheEnemyStando    i was told to ask for help over here
02:49 TheEnemyStando    my IP is blacklisted, how can i register an account in the forums?
03:22 swift110          hey all
06:14 ShadowNinja       TheEnemyStando: A forum admin has to make the account for you.  Once the account exists you can sign in and it will bypass the IP check.  PM me your email address and what name you want to have on the forum.
06:24 ShadowNinja       You just need to get past the IP check for initial registration, so you could even use something like a VPN or public wifi to register.
07:06 TheEnemyStando    i tried using a couple free vpns, but unfortunately most of em' are blacklisted for other reasons
07:06 TheEnemyStando    i'll send you the email address & username
17:27 jonadab           !tell An0n3m0us  Someone would have to draw decent textures; but if some volunteer artist is willing to do so, I would be in favor of different-wood doors, trapdoors, etc.
17:27 MinetestBot       jonadab: I'll pass that on when An0n3m0us is around

20:49 BurningPrincess1  How many blocks can a player clip glich thogh
20:54 Krock             infinite if they edited the client
20:54 BurningPrincess1  What about without editing?
20:55 Krock             maximal 1 block (16 nodes)
20:55 Krock             likely a fraction of it
20:55 BurningPrincess1  Intersing thank you. Is 5 nodes apart fine for my pirson cells Krock ]#
20:56 Krock             even two are long time enough
20:57 BurningPrincess1  Thank you
20:57 Krock             it does not matter much how thick each node is, as long it blocks the player's shooting line
20:57 BurningPrincess1  #I just used full nodes (carved it into an underground area)
21:05 BurningPrincess1  Krock,  will glass work?
21:06 BurningPrincess   Sorry, client crashed
21:06 SwissalpS         the harder it is to dig the node, the better
21:07 SwissalpS         server lag can help glitching with unmodified clients
21:07 BurningPrincess   Luckly, its not a laggy server and I have protected the prison
21:08 SwissalpS         most secure way to jail players is to use a mod that registers the jailed players and checks their positions, moving them back if they glitched out
21:08 BurningPrincess   That could be helpful, thank you
21:08 SwissalpS         I know players that can glitch further than I, just bc they have longer RTT
21:08 BurningPrincess   RTT?#
21:10 SwissalpS         time taken for messages to do round trip server-client-server
21:11 BurningPrincess   Hm, how well would command blocks work?
21:11 SwissalpS         jails are not very efficient when it comes to real trolls. use xban instead
21:11 BurningPrincess   Good idea
21:11 SwissalpS         jails are fun though with cooperative role-playing players :)
21:12 BurningPrincess   I just wanted something small to build to kill time
21:13 BurningPrincess   Never saw a minetest prison server tho
21:14 SwissalpS         not knowing what materials your server supports: locked wooden chests are best for walls, also using layers of different material help -> force player to change tool
21:14 SwissalpS         but that also only works if your server does not offer multitools or drills etc
21:15 BurningPrincess   Good ideas, you are full of good ideas
21:15 SwissalpS         yw :D
21:16 BurningPrincess   The cells are pretty much a stone hole in the wall, witha  5 block thick glass front and  protected area
21:22 BurningPrincess   SwissalpS, is that good enough to hold playeras?
21:28 SwissalpS         it's good enough if players are cooperative. Real trolls will get out no matter what you do
21:29 SwissalpS         btw, glitching up/down is far easier than horizontally
21:30 BurningPrincess   Real trolls will get banned. I am not  going to bother with prison cells for trolls
21:30 BurningPrincess   And luckly, there is just rock up and down
21:31 SwissalpS         glass is one of the easier nodes to break, obsidian glass a little bit harder but if your server supports it, obsidian brick blocks are far harder to glitch through without modified clients
21:32 * BurningPrincess nods
21:32 SwissalpS         a jail mod would also make sure that prisoners have no tools with them and no access to bags
21:33 BurningPrincess   Well, at lest obisdain brick is nice and creepy looking
21:35 BurningPrincess   Any strong clearr blocks SwissalpS
21:37 SwissalpS         microblocks or smth like xpanes:jailbars_flat may work
21:38 SwissalpS         it's also popular to have thick lava layers around jails, but that's not what you seem to be going for
21:40 BurningPrincess   I can fit a lava layer beween and behind cells
21:45 BurningPrincess   SwissalpS, I can fit a three block thick lava layer
21:46 BurningPrincess   And would be onsidain brick planel work?
21:48 SwissalpS         if it's harder to dig than sand/glass/snow, it's certainly better than glass/dirt/sand/snow :)
21:50 BurningPrincess   I found a bars node
21:51 BurningPrincess   sObsidan looks so nice with the textre pack (forgot name) I have
21:52 jonadab           SwissalpS: Alternating layers of obsidian and gravel?
21:53 jonadab           Really, the ideal prison would be surrounded by a thousand nodes of _nothing_ in every direction, including down.
22:00 astro             is there a way for a mod to see if a player's feet are on the ground?
