07:10 MTDiscord    <08T​woSpace> Hey
10:39 unixbsd      would it be possibel to find minetest as well on the retropie, because there is only minecraft...?
10:40 erlehmann    unixbsd, have you tried installing it via apt?
10:40 erlehmann    retropie is debian based, is it?
10:52 unixbsd      It runs very slow on the evilwm X11 environment. i guess it comes from the GL drivers... however minecraft uses SDL without Gl driver.
10:52 unixbsd      *using the default driver of the pi*

12:29 jas_         can i put and use all my server/minetest settings in the world's world.mt file, and empty/remove/stop using minetest.conf and --config ??
12:30 sfan5        world.mt is not a replacement for minetest.conf and per-world configs are not a thing yet
12:30 sfan5        so no
12:31 jas_         thank you for the clarification.  it has annoyed me before how there are redundencies and potential surprises there
12:31 jas_         :^)
17:19 _Zaizen_     Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of troubles with metadata and itemstacks. I want to add a meta to a block that I added to the inventory of the player and I do that in this way:
17:19 _Zaizen_     local stack = player:get_inventory():add_item("main", block_name)
17:19 _Zaizen_     local meta = stack:get_meta()
17:19 _Zaizen_     meta:set_string("arena", name)
17:19 _Zaizen_     And this works fine. the problem is that when I place the node I can't retrieve the metadata by doing this:
17:19 _Zaizen_     on_place = function(itemstack, placer, pointed_thing)
17:19 _Zaizen_     local meta = itemstack:get_meta()
17:19 _Zaizen_     local name = meta:get_string("arena"))
17:19 _Zaizen_     Does anyone know what am I doing wrong?
17:19 _Zaizen_     Ups, I forgot that pasting mess things up
17:19 Krock        metadata is not preserved upon placing
17:19 _Zaizen_     Oh, any idea on how I could do this then?
17:20 Krock        on_place
17:20 Krock        ->  node_meta:set_string(itemstack_meta:get_string("arena"))
17:20 Krock        something like that
17:20 _Zaizen_     Ok, thanks, will try.
17:28 skyliner_369 was hoping to find a Discord server for Minetest
17:31 _Zaizen_     skyliner_369: here is the link to the UNOFFICIAL discord: https://discord.gg/Wr6eXU3 I hope they will move to something like matrix and make it official but until then we will have to stick with this.
17:33 skyliner_369 thanks! honestly I just love the cool world gen and cubic worlds. the caves are cooler too. yay perlin caves
17:44 _Zaizen_     Krock: unfortunately that solution didn't worked out. I'm placing the node with local itemstack, pos = minetest.item_place(itemstack, placer, pointed_thing) and if I try to get the meta from the returned itemstack it still doesn't find anything :/
17:45 Krock        you need to copy the fields manually
17:46 _Zaizen_     What do you mean by that?
17:46 Krock        copy from itemstack to node
17:46 Krock        manually
17:52 _Zaizen_     Krock: I copy the meta to the node but still doesn't seem to work. I do it in this way local itemstack, pos = minetest.item_place(itemstack, placer, pointed_thing)
17:52 _Zaizen_     local itemstack_meta = itemstack:get_meta()
17:52 _Zaizen_     local node_meta = minetest.get_meta(pos)
17:52 _Zaizen_     node_meta:set_string("arena", itemstack_meta:get_string("arena"))
17:52 _Zaizen_     If by saying "copy from itemstack to node" you mean something else, I'm sorry.
17:53 Krock        pastebin pls
17:54 _Zaizen_     krock: https://pastebin.com/VYShbc5N
17:56 Krock        try after_place_node  for the node you're placing
17:56 Krock        i.e. define the node definition field for that and use the same code
17:57 Krock        IIRC on_place cannot be overwritten for nodes
17:57 Krock        nvm. it should be possible to overwrite anyway
17:59 Krock        VE uses on_placenode. Dunno why. https://gitlab.com/VanessaE/unifieddyes/-/blob/master/init.lua#L158-191
17:59 Krock        _Zaizen_: if you're placing the last item from the stack, you have to retrieve the metadata first because empty stacks cannot have metadata
18:03 _Zaizen_     Krock: It's not the last item from the stack, also I'm in creative and the stack is never empty. Tried doing everything in after_place_node with small tweaks since it gives me the position but the metadata of the itemstack is still missing :/ PS: when I add the item to the stack I'm sure it has the meta so it's not beacause they are missing from the itemstack
18:04 Krock        strange. try dumping the metadata in each step and check when it's lost
19:25 _Zaizen_     Krock: I've solved the problem. Remember the way I've told I used to set the meta? Well it seems that it doesn't work. When you print the meta directly from the meta obtained by the stack returned by the add_item the meta shows up but it is never truly assigned. To get it working I had to do like this: local stack = ItemStack(block_name)
19:25 _Zaizen_     local meta = stack:get_meta()
19:25 _Zaizen_     meta:set_string("arena", name)
19:25 _Zaizen_     player:get_inventory():set_stack("main", 1, stack)
19:26 Krock        aha.
19:26 Krock        yes that's the way
19:27 _Zaizen_     Yeah, but I thought I was doing it right since the print showed everything correctly TwT
19:27 _Zaizen_     Thanks for your help BTW, appreciate it Krock

19:28 MinetestBot  Another satisfied customer. Next!
21:25 Wuzzy        specing: JT2
21:26 specing      ok Wuzzy
21:26 Wuzzy        and recently Catlandia hehe
21:26 Wuzzy        Inside The Box too but only if theres actually new levels
21:32 specing      Wuzzy: ugh, my client is too new to check out JT2
21:32 Wuzzy        sorry, its a 0.4.17-only server
21:32 specing      Do you know of any server with noisier mapgen?
21:32 Wuzzy        no
21:32 specing      Like, mountain 5000 blocks high
21:33 Wuzzy        i dont know the noisier mapgen.
21:33 specing      and oceans 5000 deep
21:33 Wuzzy        is this a new mapgen?
21:33 specing      No, noisier mapgen is the usual mapgen, but parameters tuned to produce bigger biomes, mountains, deeper seas...
21:33 specing      as suggested by someone here
21:35 specing      It's one of the things I miss in minetest... a more varied terrain
21:35 specing      I remember the Sky(?) server 5 years ago by proller
21:35 specing      that one was whack iirc
21:36 MTDiscord    <04L​one_Wolf> I've seen some pretty tall mountains/deep oceans in carpathian
21:36 MTDiscord    <04L​one_Wolf> I might have changed some of the mapgen flags though
21:38 specing      I don't understand why the defaults are so conservative
21:38 specing      the y limits are +- 31k, yet pretty much everything interesting happens at y=0 +- 50
22:25 MTDiscord    <11J​onathon> vineland survival uses carpathian if i recall correctly, not sure on the exact measurements tho
22:32 MTDiscord    <11I​hrFussel> Vanilla v7 mapgen generates mountains that go up to Y 200 so the '0 +- 50' claim is not entirely true  Also v7 caves go super deep and can be huge
23:25 jfindlay     I am trying to enable this mod: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=12005, but I can't get it to work either in a server or a local game
23:26 jfindlay     the `minetest --info` output says it's loaded but `/grant singleplayer warp_admin` says `Unknown privilege: warp_admin`
23:26 jfindlay     and I can't find the node in creative mode
23:27 jfindlay     running `Minetest 5.1.1 (Linux)`
23:39 jas_         type /mods in-game and look for 'warps' to show up.  https://github.com/minetest-mods/warps/blob/master/init.lua#L147 <- you should get it here
23:39 jas_         https://github.com/minetest-mods/warps/blob/master/init.lua#L239 <- here is the node name, warps:warpstone
23:47 jfindlay     thanks, it's showing up in the mod list, but I can't find `warpstone` in the creative mode inventory and none of the server commands, like `/setwarp` are working
23:48 jfindlay     I have gotten other mods to work, so I can debug some more I guess
23:50 jas_         look in the code, it's called, "A Warp Stone" and not "warpstone."  perhaps creative mod doesn't account for it
23:51 jas_         if you cannot grant yourself the `warp_admin' priv, then i doubt the mod is fully loaded
23:53 jas_         sorry, i just tested and you are correct
23:54 jas_         something has changed over the years, perhaps it is this line: https://github.com/minetest-mods/warps/blob/master/init.lua#L150
23:54 jas_         not sure why it is happening this way, and i would like to take a look at some point -- or perhaps someone else will (sofar?)
23:54 jas_         brb
23:58 jfindlay     yeah, maybe me :-)
23:59 jfindlay     it's a great mod, I like the warpstone idea
23:59 jas_         me too, i have used it many times
