Time Nick Message 01:12 orbea in the minetest.conf, how big are "blocks"? The same size as each individual block in game? 01:13 orbea struggling to get player_transfer_distance right, maybe 100 is more than I understood? 01:25 rubenwardy orbea: a cube in the game is called a "node". A block (full name: MapBlock) is 16x16 nodes 01:25 rubenwardy 100 is 1600 metres 01:25 rubenwardy if you assume a cube is a metre 01:27 orbea thanks :) 01:43 Sketch2 https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/forum.minetest.net.html 01:44 rubenwardy Sketch2: hardware issues 01:45 Sketch2 k, ty 06:51 Extex Woah the forums are really acting up! 06:51 Extex What's come up? 06:51 Extex Have we like reached the max forum data usage or something? 07:22 oil_boi_ Is there a function to modify node textures during server loop yet? 07:23 texmex oil_boi_: no 07:34 oil_boi_ texmex: This is a very interesting problem to think about, I cannot see anything which allows me to create nodes while the game is running, or items, if I could do that I could create special nodes during the game loop to create signs. The other option is, create sign entity when signs are placed and simply delete the sign entity when it's sign.get_staticdata is called since that only becomes called on unload. I'm not sure 07:34 oil_boi_ if nodes get unloaded the same as entities do though 07:35 oil_boi_ And then register the sign base node as an LBM with sign meta (Text) and yaw so that signs can be angled in any direction 07:35 oil_boi_ Also the fact that you will be able to overlay the actual texture into the texture of the sign means that they will not look all messy and you can actually read the text 07:40 texmex oil_boi_: check out display_api for an implementation like the one you’re describing. 07:47 newbie identify? 07:51 twoelk great, all my irc scripts got trashed :( 08:00 * twoelk muses on what to make of the perfect sunshine outside 08:02 * twoelk big sigh 08:02 twoelk surfing the forum isn't much fun these days 08:20 oil_boi_ texmex: https://github.com/oilboi/Crafter/issues/5 Hahaha I forgot to add an exception in for TooManyItems, I didn't even know that was possible :P 08:20 oil_boi_ Now you can get infinite "help" literally in your inventory!! 08:21 Krock twoelk: moreover I cannot update the mod search engine easily like this 08:21 oil_boi_ texmex: I'm so excited to work on the HALLOWEEN! Update once I fix all the bugs you guys found 08:22 oil_boi_ I love Halloween :D I can't wait for pumpkins! Also Krock is it possible to have the forum move to GitHub? 08:23 Krock oil_boi_: excuse me what? 08:30 oil_boi_ Krock: Oh nevermind, I didn't know github.io was made of static pages 08:31 oil_boi_ My brains moving a mile a minute right now :T Sorry about that 08:52 twoelk if the problems on the forums are current situation related, I wouldn't recomend moving just right now - things will be similar elsewhere 08:55 nephele Now that github has more outages, moving more stuff to it is a good move, especially stuff that makes no sense to put on it :D 10:47 oil_boi_ texmex: Would it be cooler if for the credits: I took the player to a corner of the map, generated the credits in nodes, and then literally scrolled the player down the world to simulate the credits scrolling up? 11:00 texmex oil_boi_: It would! But the real cool thing to do would be to have a easter egg portal that brought the player to The Temple of Mese deep underground where credits would be browsable freely. 11:17 oil_boi_ That's a great idea :D 11:17 oil_boi_ texmex: Sticky pistons work perfectly now, I'm making a hidden door :D 11:19 oil_boi_ That duplication glitch was easier to fix than I thought, got me worried for a second until I can just check if it's deactivated before activating it 12:45 adfeno Hi Amaz, I and a group of Brazilians made some changes to the interact mod, and would like to know if you accept patches through email (I couldn't find your email address in the auxiliary files or copyright notices of the mod), … 12:46 adfeno … or if by giving you the link to the fork you could review that, decide whether to merge it, and tell us the result. 12:57 sfan5 !seen amaz 12:57 MinetestBot sfan5: amaz was last seen at 2020-03-30 15:41:11 UTC on #minetest 12:57 sfan5 oh huh 13:00 oil_boi_ texmex: I thought this was a fun way to unveil the trap chest and sticky piston https://youtu.be/zs3BHRymxlw :D 13:04 MinetestBot 02[git] 04pyrollo -> 03minetest/minetest: Hypertext: Fix hovercolor not working in global tag (#9582) 130eb3072 https://git.io/JvNGM (152020-04-05T13:04:41Z) 14:34 orbea i was bored and read the old discord presence PRs a bit, I appreciate there is at least one game related project refusing that crap :) 15:29 MinetestBot 02[git] 04BreadT -> 03minetest/minetest: Translated using Weblate (Japanese) 1340dccc0 https://git.io/JvNW3 (152020-04-05T15:27:48Z) 15:29 MinetestBot 02[git] 04sfan5 -> 03minetest/minetest: Translated using Weblate (German) 137aec5f4 https://git.io/JvNWs (152020-04-05T15:27:48Z) 15:29 MinetestBot 02[git] 04oguzersen@protonmail.com -> 03minetest/minetest: Translated using Weblate (Turkish) 13e6e1c12 https://git.io/JvNWG (152020-04-05T15:25:55Z) 16:32 MinetestBot 02[git] 04rubenwardy -> 03minetest/minetest: Update credits for 5.2.0 (#9593) 1309b8f5d https://git.io/JvN80 (152020-04-05T16:30:44Z) 16:46 MinetestBot 02[git] 04sfan5 -> 03minetest/minetest: Continue with 5.3.0-dev 13528b162 https://git.io/JvN8N (152020-04-05T16:31:52Z) 16:46 MinetestBot 02[git] 04sfan5 -> 03minetest/minetest: Bump version to 5.2.0 1324147d9 https://git.io/JvN8A (152020-04-05T16:31:50Z) 16:50 sfan5 !op 17:03 sfan5 ANNOUNCEMENT: Minetest 5.2.0 has been released https://github.com/minetest/minetest/releases 17:08 rubenwardy est31: I don't seem to be in the Minetest developers team? 17:08 rubenwardy my user is https://launchpad.net/~rubenwardy 17:08 rubenwardy I've requested access 17:08 rubenwardy also might be worth denying all those people 17:11 rubenwardy also celeron55 ^ 17:11 rubenwardy looks like you're the only one with "Administrator" rank 17:12 tf2ftw Hello. 17:12 rubenwardy o/ 17:13 tf2ftw Where are the mods and maps located when installing from Ubuntu Snap? 17:13 est31 rubenwardy: only c55 can add you 17:13 rubenwardy ok 17:13 celeron55 i'll set some extra administrators 17:13 DS-minetest tf2ftw: ~.minetest/* 17:13 DS-minetest oh, forget it 17:14 celeron55 which is, you two 17:14 tf2ftw DS-minetest, thanks but it doesn't seem that the mods are being picked up in that dir 17:14 est31 celeron55: ok 17:14 * DS-minetest didn't see the "Snap" 17:14 sfan5 rubenwardy: if you have the chance to edit the recipe make sure to look for a place to add -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release to the build flags 17:15 tf2ftw I wasn't a fan of the Snap idea and now I'm not loving it in practice either. 17:15 DS-minetest tf2ftw: there's a minetest ppa (actually two, one stable and one daily) 17:16 tf2ftw Thanks I'll check it out. 17:17 est31 sfan5: the place for that would be here: https://code.launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/minetest-c55/+git/packaging 17:17 est31 ... I think 17:17 sfan5 https://git.launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/minetest-c55/+git/packaging/tree/rules yep 17:18 tf2ftw Is the MT wiki open source? I'd like to mirror or supporting the hosting fees. I've been getting a lot of timeouts the past few days 17:18 sfan5 I tried to find those files a few days ago but failed due to Launchpad's complicated and user-unfriendly interface 17:20 rubenwardy est31: is launchpad safe? If I edit the flags and the build fails, can I try again or would I need 5.2.0-1 or something 17:20 est31 it depends on whether it was uploaded or not 17:20 est31 there are two steps 17:20 est31 1. uploading of the source 17:21 est31 2. building the uploaded source 17:21 est31 if the build fails, say you placed an ( somewhere in the cpp file 17:21 tf2ftw DS-minetest, is this the end-user ppa? ppa:minetestdevs/stable 17:21 est31 then step 1 will succeed but 2 will fail 17:21 rubenwardy tf2ftw: yes, we're updating it now 17:21 rubenwardy > The build has two steps: first it assembles the source code and uploads it, then it builds the code. If the first step completed successfully but the second one failed, you need to update the version number in the recipe (e.g. 1.2.3-ppa1) before rebuilding. 17:21 tf2ftw "now" as in "wait a few min" ? :) 17:22 est31 rubenwardy: yeah that needs to happen 17:22 rubenwardy possibly tens of minutes 17:22 tf2ftw lol thanks 17:22 est31 rubenwardy: anyways, it's always good to add -ppa0 17:22 est31 or something like that 17:22 rubenwardy ah right, so it can be -ppa1 after 17:22 est31 yes 17:22 rubenwardy should this be changed? Maintainer: Juhani Numminen 17:22 est31 no 17:22 est31 if you want to, maybe 17:22 est31 idk 17:22 rubenwardy also, the copyright says it's GPL not LGPL. Is that for the build scripts? 17:23 rubenwardy I'll default to loeaving things 17:23 rubenwardy as they are 17:23 est31 oh I guess it was from before the change 17:23 est31 IIRC minetest changed from GPL -> LGPL early on before I joined 17:23 est31 so should probably be changed 17:23 est31 rubenwardy: adding -ppa0 is also good because then it doesnt conflict the proper ubuntu packages 17:24 est31 then you can be sure the ppa package stays installed over the ubuntu package 17:24 est31 idk the details tho 17:24 est31 then step 1 will succeed but 2 will fail 17:24 est31 to add to this, it will conflict with the uploaded source if you dont change it 17:24 est31 so that's why you need to add the version identifier 17:25 est31 rubenwardy: the version only shows up in apt though, it doesn't affect what the minetest program outputs 17:27 tf2ftw Snap out. PPA in. Game up and running with mods.
