08:08 thomas_     Hello experts. How can I give a new privilege to ALL registered users of an online server?
08:19 ANAND       You can make use of an on_joinplayer callback to check if a given player has a priv, and grant it to them if they don't.
08:20 thomas_     Is there a mod containing the necessary code?
08:20 ANAND       For documentation on these API methods, take a look at https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt
08:20 ANAND       I'm not sure about that
08:20 ANAND       But it's pretty simple to make one from scratch
08:20 thomas_     Ok, lets see if I can do that.
08:20 ANAND       It'd probably be less than 10 lines
08:21 ANAND       It's pretty easy too :)
08:23 thomas_     would be a useful mod ...
08:37 blaise      I for some reason feel like such mod already exist...
09:38 thomas_     Sorry, was off for a while. Did I miss answers? Is there a log of this channel anywhere? I'm not using irc very often ...

11:01 thomas_     Thank You!

12:50 Koward      Hello. Anyone knows what perlin 2d map is supposed to be 2d perlin noise
12:51 Koward      Sorry, I meant *compared to 2d Perlin Noise.
14:32 rdococ      is there a consensus about whether the "front" face of a node is -Z or +Z (assuming a facedir of 0), and whether the "forward" direction is out of or into that face?
14:32 rdococ      the documentation of minetest.facedir_to_dir suggests -Z, but I wasn't sure if that was what people decided upon or if it was just one person who saw it that way
14:33 rdococ      -Z would mean that the front face faces the player, +Z would mean it faces away from the player
14:33 sfan5       isn't who decided on it irrelevant when the documentation offers an "official" opinion?
14:33 rubenwardy  front is relative
14:34 rubenwardy  the documentation assigns each face a  name for ease of documentation, I guess
14:34 rdococ      ah, okay
14:34 rubenwardy  and because   connect_zplus
14:34 rubenwardy  is not nice to read
14:34 rubenwardy  plus: rotations
14:50 rdococ      so would that mean that relative to the node, -X is the right face?
14:54 nephele     that depends in which direction you think your node is facing i guess?
14:55 rdococ      well, when you're facing in the +Z direction and you place a node, that node's front face is in the -Z direction, but that counts as "no rotation" even though it's facing the opposite direction to you
14:57 rdococ      too late to change that now, but it's an interesting thing I noted
15:51 mazes_80    about capture the flag (latest) a player  found a way to have infinite smg
15:52 mazes_80    eca is now online and wants to describe this
15:54 rubenwardy  we know, that only applies on CTFv2
15:54 rubenwardy  thanks though!
15:54 rubenwardy  it's in our issue list to fix before we release CTFv2
15:54 rubenwardy  the current server is a test server
16:00 mazes_80    ah, ok
16:01 mazes_80    I also noticed that when you switch class, you can have multiple time an item
16:02 mazes_80    play as knight, upgrade sword to mese, change class, go back to knight, and you can have the iron sword again, ...
16:04 mazes_80    a per life item counter could probably solve the issue
16:18 mazes_80    thanks for the reply, I'll say to eca this bug is known
17:22 MinetestBot 02[git] 04sfan5 -> 03minetest/minetest_game: doors: Remove unnecessary nodebox and empty texture (#2662) 13ef45a8e https://git.io/JfGY2 (152020-05-04T17:20:01Z)
19:23 Zughy       hey there. Is the hud_set_flags({minimap = false }) broken? If I spam F9 enough times, I can apparently override it and it shows up
19:23 Krock       override has higher priority than flags
19:23 rubenwardy  huh, works for me?
19:24 Zughy       no, I mean, spamming F9 overrides the behaviour somehow
19:24 Krock       or does it work hand-in-hand? uh.. dunno
19:24 Zughy       I'm on 5.2, idk if it changes something
19:24 Krock       what #9079  is still not merged?!
19:24 rubenwardy  the hud flags should disable the minimap
19:24 ShadowBot   https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/9079 -- Minimap in HUD, minimap showing texure, control minimap modes from Lua by EvidenceBKidscode
19:25 Krock       maybe that PR fixes the issue.. dunno
19:26 rubenwardy  it works in MTG?
19:26 rubenwardy  unless MTG also has the bug where pressing F9 enough times evades it
19:26 Krock       rubenwardy: that's more of an engine issue
19:27 rubenwardy  as in, there's nothing else here causing this
19:27 Krock       race condition or whatever
19:27 Zughy       at the beginning it says minimap access is blocked by the very game or by a mod
19:27 Zughy       but then.. F9F9F9F9F9 and whoopsie
19:28 Krock       i.e. cycling through all modes once
19:29 Krock       should be an even number. 6 or 8
19:30 Krock       if the minimap appears with the 7th or 9th key press, we figured out the source pretty much already
19:31 Zughy       let me try
19:31 Zughy       sorry for these issues report in the IRC :(
19:34 Zughy       ok I'm an idiot
19:34 Zughy       the server was in creative. Don't kill me :))))))))
19:52 Zughy       so, always about minimaps: other than hud_set_flags({minimap=true}), do I need to something else to enable it again? It works for a second and then it says again the game is blocking it
19:52 Zughy       *need to do
19:53 sfan5       minetest_game has a mod that controls the minimap enable-state on its own
19:55 Zughy       huuuh, it cycles every 5.3 seconds, got it. ty
22:10 AceNovo_    What kind of network issues do I need to test for if I'm not able to connect to a Minetest server on a dedicated server?
22:12 AceNovo_    I set up a server that says it's running, but I'm not able to connect. I kill it, start netcat listening on the UDP port and I'm able to reach netcat
22:13 heavygale   maybe it's not a network issue
22:14 heavygale   are you sure the minetest server is runninganlistening on the port?
22:15 AceNovo_    It *says* it is in the start up report. If it's failing, there's no difference in behavior from my local machine or my headless server on my LAN
22:15 AceNovo_    It shows in netstat as a listener
22:16 sfan5       is there ipv6 anywhere near your setup
22:17 AceNovo_    Yeah... that would be the major difference between the local and the remote
22:17 AceNovo_    The remote *does* have IPv6 addresses
22:20 AceNovo_    Looks like that's sufficient info for a productive search. Thanks
22:22 sfan5       minetest does not listen on ipv6 by default
22:22 sfan5       so what you'll want to do is either remove the ipv6 from your domain or set ipv6_server = true in your minetest.conf
22:26 AceNovo_    I have my own IPv4 addresses, but is it easier to just configure the server to use an IPv6 address since external factors may affect IPv4?
22:27 heavygale   use both :)
22:28 AceNovo_    I'm here: https://doxy.minetest.net/settings.html
22:28 AceNovo_    Anything else I need to get that working?
22:28 sfan5       just that config setting I mentioned suffices
22:32 AceNovo_    So if I turn on IPv6 in Minetest, it becomes IPv6 aware, gloms on all addresses, and both IP versions work?
22:32 sfan5       yep
22:32 AceNovo_    Give it a try tonight. Tx
