17:54 Genshin         Hello
17:54 swift110        hey all
17:54 Krock           hi
17:56 Genshin         Made a mod to make player-to-player rightclicking a thing X)
17:56 Genshin         https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=25301
17:56 swift110        where thats cool
17:59 Genshin         I hope this becomes useful in the meantime
20:34 Lone_Wolf       The end times are upon us
20:35 MTDiscord       <11G​reenXenith> Bueller.. Bueller...
20:35 MTDiscord       <12T​he32bitguy> Don't be so pessimistic
20:36 MTDiscord       <11J​onathon> Francis bueller?
20:36 MTDiscord       <04L​one_Wolf> To get back ontopic: My game without content is ranked higher than MTG on the ContentDB
20:37 MTDiscord       <11J​onathon> thats interesting
20:37 MTDiscord       <05/​g/> I see, so now we got a bridge to the minetest irc channel, nice
20:38 gera_           Hello from the other side
20:39 MTDiscord       <12T​he32bitguy> Anything is better than MTG
20:39 MTDiscord       <13G​enshin> MTG is just a preset game imo
20:39 Lone_Wolf       Great for mods
20:40 MTDiscord       <12T​he32bitguy> Great for mods™
20:40 MTDiscord       <11J​onathon> isn't nodecore in 2nd place for games with most mods? or does that go to mineclone2?
20:41 Lone_Wolf       Nodecore has quite a few made specifically for it
20:41 MTDiscord       <12T​he32bitguy> Internally I would think NodeCore
20:45 MTDiscord       <12W​arr1024> NodeCore probably has the highest ratio of mods to mod API documentation.  Everyone who's slogged through the RTFSing necessary to make their mods work is a real trooper.
20:45 celeron55       yeah we're experimenting with this discord bridge
20:45 celeron55       hopefully it brings more life to IRC than takes out of it
20:46 Warr1024        Good stuff so far
20:46 celeron55       feel free to comment about it if it makes you feel either way
20:49 Genshin         Never hurts to talk to people from the other side of things, lol
20:49 Genshin         makes the chat room more lively
21:54 Copenhagen_Bram For some reason, the language setting doesn't seem to be working for me in Minetest for Flatpak. How do I change the language?
21:56 rubenwardy      Try using the main menu?
21:56 rubenwardy      the flat pack version uses a different .conf file
22:01 MTDiscord       <12W​arr1024> I actually had a similar issue with not being able to change the language, using a local compile.  I heard there might be something missing involving installing locale files, but where do I find those?
22:20 Copenhagen_Bram I am using the main menu settings.
22:21 rubenwardy      have you restarted?
22:25 Copenhagen_Bram Yes, I closed minetest and started it again.
22:25 Copenhagen_Bram flatpak install net.minetest.Minetest
22:25 Copenhagen_Bram open minetest, go to settings tab, click all settings
22:25 Copenhagen_Bram search language, set language to es
22:25 Copenhagen_Bram close minetest
22:25 Copenhagen_Bram flatpak run net.minetest.Minetest again
22:25 Copenhagen_Bram menu is still in English
22:27 Copenhagen_Bram Meanwhile, I could download Minecraft and set its language to pirate speak.
22:27 Copenhagen_Bram Will we ever have fun languages like that in Minetest?
22:29 cheapie         Copenhagen_Bram: MT is an open-source project... go contribute some :P
22:31 Copenhagen_Bram Sorry, I didn't mean to come off like that. I guess it might be hard to implement non-ISO languages.
22:33 Copenhagen_Bram Thanks for all the work you've done.
22:33 Copenhagen_Bram I wonder... What kind of basic mods do beginner modders usually make?
22:33 Copenhagen_Bram What's the "Program tic tac toe" of Minetest modding?
22:42 MTDiscord       <11G​reenXenith> The Hello World of Minetest modding is to register a node and place it. The tic tac toe of Minetest could be any number of things, from making a new biome, spawning some decorations, making some interactable node, or literally tic tac toe.
22:44 Copenhagen_Bram hmm. Do people use Lua IDEs when modding Minetest?
22:44 Copenhagen_Bram s/modding/writing mods for/
22:45 MTDiscord       <04L​one_Wolf> I use VSCode with the Minetest extension
22:45 * cheapie       just uses a text editor, never really saw the point of IDEs
22:45 MTDiscord       <04L​one_Wolf> Wouldn't recommend it for slower PCs though. Sublime Text is better for those
22:45 MTDiscord       <04L​one_Wolf> My ide runs a luacheck extension
22:46 MTDiscord       <04L​one_Wolf> Catches 80% of all of my errors
22:46 cheapie         In my case that text editor is Pluma, just because that's what my DE came with. It does everything I want it to do, so I don't really see a need for anything else.
22:48 MTDiscord       <11G​reenXenith> For people that spend all day every day programming, IDEs have a lot of convenient features.
22:48 MTDiscord       <11G​reenXenith> Automatic error checking, auto-completion, boilerplates, etc
22:49 aldum           wow, there's a minetest mod for vscode, good to know
22:49 Copenhagen_Bram I wish I knew enough programming to spend all day doing it
22:49 aldum           you don't need to know it do it :P
22:49 MTDiscord       <11G​reenXenith> I need to update that extension eventually, I think its a Minetest version out of date
22:51 MTDiscord       <11G​reenXenith> And I need to come up with a better way to generate snippets
