11:36 oil_boi sfan5, I just found an optimization, inside an optimization, inside an optimization
11:38 oil_boi bumped the redstone power level up to 16 states and this new method is faster, with 20 torches and massive debug output of everything that every torch is indexing over a 16x32x16 area than one torch was calculating with no terminal output
11:42 oil_boi Holy crap there was so much debug output it stack overflowed dump()

18:32 Corey[m]1 has anyone every attempted to remove 'default' from their mod's depedency before, it's like a horror experience, when you realize how many little spots it exists in
18:35 rubenwardy I hate default
18:35 eerungur left #minetest
18:38 Corey[m]1 I'll let you know how badly it goes shortly, I need to replace the sounds first...

18:43 MinetestBot Wuzzy: Jun-30 03:41 UTC <oil_boi> I think it's almost time you can put redstone into mc2
18:43 MinetestBot Wuzzy: Jun-30 03:41 UTC <oil_boi> referring to "how feasible would it be to cannibalize this and put it into mc2?" in the forum a few months ago

18:50 Hawk777 joined #minetest
19:02 Corey[m]1 um... why is LIGHT_MAX in default, isn't that more of an engine thing?
19:02 Verticen joined #minetest
19:04 oil_boi Why yes, I have tried to remove default from my mod dependencies
19:05 oil_boi I dunno why that made me laugh so hard
19:06 rubenwardy it's an alias to not break mods, Corey[m]1
19:06 rubenwardy it is also in the engine
19:06 Corey[m]1 Well I have the source of everything on hand, so I can always verify, core does indeed have LIGHT_MAX
19:06 Corey[m]1 but from what I gather, we shouldn't ever be referencing core. in mods
19:07 rubenwardy minetest.LIGHT_MAX
19:07 rubenwardy default has the following line:    `default.LIGHT_MAX = minetest.LIGHT_MAX`
19:07 rubenwardy and minetest builtin has the following line:  `minetest = core`
19:07 Corey[m]1 strange, the copy I have here says `default.LIGHT_MAX = 14` not the minetest reference
19:07 rubenwardy oh, that's silly
19:08 Corey[m]1 mods/default/init.lua
19:08 Corey[m]1 12:default.LIGHT_MAX = 14
19:08 Corey[m]1 yep

19:49 sfan5 uh
19:49 sfan5 maybe use a pastebin for the error message next time
19:49 search_social sorry
19:51 oil_boi yes and add emojis to it
19:51 sfan5 unless the entity mysteriously disappears I don't see how that error could happen
19:51 sfan5 is it reproducible?
19:52 search_social yes it happens anytime i use //1 .. i'm wondering if it's because of old data from the previous worldedit
19:52 oil_boi Why not add if not thing:get_luaentity() return end
19:52 sfan5 old data?
19:52 Krock oil_boi: "marker1[name]" is nil, not the value of get_luaentity
19:53 search_social i guess it could be some other mod like regional climate doing something
19:53 oil_boi Wait no that's recursive problem if not thing[table] or (thing[table] and not thing[table]:get_luaentity()) then return end
19:53 sfan5 Krock: the error message doesn't indicate that does it?
19:53 oil_boi It does
19:53 search_social i verified with print statements that worldedit.marker1[name] = userdata: 0x42ac4f00
19:54 oil_boi Are you exceeding the loaded area/area unloading despawning entity?
19:54 search_social well the server just started after the last crash and i haven't issued any command except //1
19:54 oil_boi Ah yes a table index check and table index if luaentity check would stop that from crashing
19:55 sfan5 search_social: add some debug output for  orldedit.marker1[name]:get_luaentity() please
19:55 oil_boi But might cause undefined behavior
19:55 Krock sfan5: I don't know about "//1" but "//1: worldedit.marker1[name]:get_luaentity()" looked to me like the code that caused the error later on
19:56 search_social sfan5: well i tried print(type(worldedit.marker1[name]:get_luaentity()) and it said mark.lua:36: bad argument #1 to 'type' (value expected)
19:56 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/1 -- GlowStone code by anonymousAwesome
19:56 Krock since 5.3.0-dev there's no undefined entity behaviour
19:56 search_social oh yeah i'm running 5.2.0 so i need to run 5.3.0?
19:56 Krock it's a bug when using the latest stable, so I suppose it should be fixed somehow, even if it works in 5.3.0-dev
19:56 sfan5 search_social: type(nil) is valid so no idea about that
19:57 oil_boi undefined behavior in the calculations that are stated between these two entities hm hm hm hm
19:57 sfan5 I haven't heard any reports that worldedit is broken in 5.2 either
19:57 oil_boi aka crashing boi
19:57 Krock > if (co == NULL) return 0;
19:57 Krock 0 returned arguments when the objcet cannot be found
19:57 Krock though that should return "nil"? dunno
19:58 sfan5 so return 0; isn't equivalent to returning nil after all?
19:58 sfan5 search_social: try print(type((worldedit.marker1[name]:get_luaentity())))
19:58 sfan5 with exactly those parenthesis
19:58 Krock I mean there's lua_isnone  but I don't know when this applies
19:58 oil_boi Could the table be creating the data before it's instated into the core.registered_entities on a really slow computer?
19:59 sfan5 no it all happens sequentially on a single thread
19:59 oil_boi Then I'll be ducked, gotta add an exception to the code incase of failure of creation lua entity/instant deletion/something destroying table data randomly
20:00 sfan5 the weird thing is that the entity reference is being created correctly but the reference is invalid
20:00 sfan5 could be a 5.2 specific bug after all
20:00 oil_boi Why not base the positional data off an internal memory map as to not rely on something that could possibly despawn and handle between those two points regardless of the entity existing?
20:01 search_social (worldedit.marker1[name]:get_luaentity()) --- print(type()) this is nil and print() this is nil too
20:01 sfan5 that's what it does, the entities are just for display
20:02 oil_boi I dunno then man just make the position explode if the entity isn't found
20:04 sfan5 search_social: which mods are you running?
20:06 search_social a lot of ones from content db the one that seemed most likely to cnoflict was something was the regional weather one
20:06 search_social the old worldedit mod that wasn't crashing i see the mark function doesn't have a "region_too" paramater
20:07 search_social or an "init_sentinel"
20:08 sfan5 well idk
20:08 sfan5 you can comment out call code inside on_active (3 functions total) and it should work
20:08 sfan5 on_activate*
20:11 search_social okay that made it work thanks!!!!!

20:45 Guest53785 Hello
20:49 Guest53785 My minetest can't fetch content DB and server list
20:49 rubenwardy OS?
20:49 Guest53785 Linux mint
20:50 Guest53785 Linux Mint 19.3
20:51 Guest53785 The terminal output this:
20:51 Guest53785 2020-07-01 17:50:46: ERROR[Main]: https://content.minetest.net/api/packages/?type=mod&amp;type=game&amp;type=txp&amp;protocol_version=39&amp;hide=nonfree&amp;hide=desktop_default not found (Timeout was reached) (response code 0)
20:51 Guest53785 but when I put this url in firefox browser I cant get the json perfectly
20:53 rubenwardy you can try increasing the curl timeout, but it should already be at 30 seconds
20:54 rubenwardy what happens if you try again? It might be cached now
20:54 Guest53785 The same happens
20:54 Guest53785 I'll try to increase timeout
20:57 Guest53785 This is my config: https://imgur.com/SAdflg5
20:59 Guest53785 Men, it's works!
20:59 rubenwardy what timeout did you need?
20:59 Guest53785 I just increase timeout
20:59 Guest53785 30 000
20:59 rubenwardy I'm surprised it takes longer than 30 seconds
21:00 Guest53785 My network has currently 3Mbps
21:02 Guest53785 Thanks
21:09 Guest53785 How can I help improve minetest menu. I've some programming knowledge
21:10 rubenwardy at this point, we're waiting on UX design

21:12 rubenwardy see https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/6733
21:13 Guest53785 I've already see this issue and would like to implement tacotexmex menu
21:14 rubenwardy see my comment there
21:16 Guest53785 Great, I see
21:17 rubenwardy I suppose you could merge the two designs, with a new GUI system
21:17 rubenwardy just merging designs probably won't work well
21:18 Guest53785 So what I do?
21:32 Guest53785 Did you know a youtube channel that have good minetest survival videos?
21:34 rubenwardy I don't, but here's a topic with videos: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&amp;t=8499

21:41 hisforever Hi I just reinstalled Manjaro Linux os on Laptop. I installed minetest. In Home folder there is No .minetest folder. Should I put the .mintest in my home Folder so I can put my mod folder there ?
21:42 Guest53785 Did you started minetest for the first time?
21:42 Guest53785 When you create a world the .minetest should be created, I think
21:43 Guest53785 If not created
21:43 hisforever yes I actually have installed Mods in minetest itself
21:43 hisforever I thought that myself
21:44 Guest53785 How do you install minetest?
21:44 Guest53785 Did you use flatpak?
21:44 appguru joined #minetest
21:44 hisforever through terminal with sudo pacman -S minetest
21:45 hisforever I think it was throught
21:45 hisforever flat pack
21:46 hisforever I'll just unstall minetest then reinstall
21:46 hisforever brb
21:46 admicos pacman is the native package manager of arch-based distros, flatpak is a seperate thing
21:47 admicos just letting you know
21:47 rubenwardy if you run minetest at least once, it'll create ~/.minetest
21:47 rubenwardy you may need to create a world or something first
21:47 rubenwardy note that the dot means it is hidden
21:47 hisforever yes I know that, thats why I'm unstalling then reinstalling
21:48 hisforever I also know that .minetest is hidden
21:48 hisforever brb
21:50 Lone_Wolf @Guest53785, there are a few streamers on Twitch too
21:50 rubenwardy hm
21:51 erlehmann joined #minetest
21:52 Guest53785 Open a new terminal and type "ls ~/.minetest"

21:56 hisforever ok I just installed mt 5.2.0 and everything looks great thanks for the help
21:56 Zughy hisforever: can't you just install it via the official application manager? I have Minetest on a Manjaro too and it perfectly works
21:56 Zughy oh, too late
21:57 hisforever Zughy thats the way I did it this time
21:58 hisforever lol

22:53 sfan5 left issues: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/milestone/16
23:05 Zughy it was more some sort of "tell me about it", with people crying, screaming, walking on the ceiling and such
23:06 sfan5 well #10113 is potentially a huge issue or maybe not an issue at all
23:06 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/10113 -- Severe performance degradation in 5.3 compared to 5.2
23:06 sfan5 but nobody really knows
23:06 sfan5 and I can't be bothered to try this out either
23:09 Zughy yeah, that doesn't seem funny at all to track down
