Time Nick Message 16:08 tango_ I want to creat an item that doesn't stack, cannot be used for digging, but has a special “passive” effect when held 16:11 MTDiscord <04L​one_Wolf> Set stack_max on a craftitem to 1 16:13 tango_ and create a standard item instead of a tool? 16:46 anon5[m] Why is zoom disabled when FOV is set as a multiplier? 17:08 niwla23[m] hi 17:14 big_caballito[m] ? 17:14 niwla23[m] is this now bridged to IRC? 17:14 niwla23[m] i cant see history 17:14 big_caballito[m] Yes, this is the IRC channel 17:15 big_caballito[m] I think you can't see the history before you joined the room 17:15 niwla23[m] are you on IRC or matrix? 17:15 big_caballito[m] Matrix 17:16 big_caballito[m] If you just joined, you can't see history from before you joined 17:16 specing tango_: like a torch? 17:16 tango_ specing: if torch lit the world around you while you wielded them, yes, but not 17:16 specing It does on servers 17:17 tango_ wat 17:17 specing it's a mod that does that 17:17 specing there's* 17:17 tango_ woah I want it 17:17 specing tango_: expand your horizons, play MP :P 17:17 tango_ what'sMP 17:17 tango_ anyway, I'm trying to write a dowsing mod as a way to learn the MT api 17:17 specing MultiPlayer 17:18 tango_ so when you hold it you get information about nearby “nodes of interest” 17:18 specing you want an ore detector, lol? 17:19 tango_ yes, but done in a pseudo-realistic way and not too aggressive 17:19 tango_ the idea is that the basic rod only dowses water 17:19 specing "dowses"? 17:19 tango_ but you can augment them with ingots of the appropriate material to get a detector for that material 17:19 tango_ specing: isn't it called dowsing? 17:20 tango_ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowsing 17:20 tango_ I'm not sure if the verb to dowse exists though 8-D 17:20 specing ahhh 17:20 tango_ oh yes it does 17:20 specing https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dowsing 17:21 tango_ yeah 17:21 tango_ so it will only help you detect ores after you're already found one of the specific type 17:22 tango_ so I think I'm at a good point with the mod already 17:22 tango_ should be able to test it with water now 17:23 tango_ but I wanted to make sure that the item is not placeable 17:23 tango_ one question I have is if it's possible to add some kind of arbitrary (immutable) attribute to craftitems 17:23 tango_ e.g. I would like to add a dowsing table with the information about what can be dowsed and how far 17:24 specing I think it'd be better if you managed to convince oregen to spawn veins among nothingness 17:24 tango_ I'm going for something like this http://sprunge.us/ZvUzX4?lua 17:25 tango_ specing: this mod can be used on existing worlds 8-D 17:30 specing tango_: so could a new oregen 17:32 tango_ ANYWAY 17:52 MTDiscord <10c​Hyper> How can i migrate to a developer on the minetest.net forum? thx for info. cu cHyper 17:54 MTDiscord <10c​Hyper> and why is the forum so lagggyyyyyy.. sorry but thats a big problem why does celeron55 nothing ..... to improve the speed ? 18:43 tango_ does find_node_near find the closest node within the given range? or any node? 18:49 MTDiscord <04L​one_Wolf> Where did you find that function? 18:51 tango_ Lone_Wolf: https://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/en/map/environment.html#finding-nodes 18:51 tango_ maybe it's recent? 18:52 tango_ seems to be good enough for my purposes 19:03 sfan5 I believe it's the closest 19:03 sfan5 but the api doesn't seem to make that guarantee 19:04 MTDiscord <04L​one_Wolf> Oh, I misread that. It returns the closest IIRC 19:12 MinetestBot 02[git] 04Oblomov -> 03minetest/minetest: Show RTT in ms with 2 digits of precision (#10573) 13a701d24 https://git.io/JTD5j (152020-10-29T19:09:59Z) 19:16 MinetestBot 02[git] 04appgurueu -> 03minetest/minetest: Player physics: Ensure larger dtime simulation steps (#10563) 132dff3dd https://git.io/JTDdE (152020-10-29T19:15:46Z) 19:41 tango_ I'm surprised chat_send_player doesn't accept a player as first argument 19:42 tango_ what does this message mean? 19:42 tango_ 2020-10-29 20:41:33: ERROR[Main]: Ignoring escape sequence 'T@default' in translation 19:42 tango_ I was hoping to do a string.format(S("You sense %s %s"), target_name, genloc) where target_name and genloc are strings 19:43 sfan5 translations have replacements that look like @1 @2, use them 19:46 tango_ ah makes sense 19:53 tango_ can I have something that if burned provides a leftover? 19:55 MTDiscord <09w​war> Make fire spreads on, not sure... 20:29 tango_ wow my first working lua mod 20:29 tango_ I'm so excited 20:29 tango_ now I need a better UI/HUD for the effect of the rod 21:08 tango_ is there a trigger/callback for when a player wields/unwields an item(stack)? 21:10 sfan5 no 21:11 tango_ hm 21:12 tango_ I wanted to create a new hud element that would appear when the user wields this particular item, but it looks like I'll have to do it some other way then 21:13 sfan5 no you can do that 21:13 sfan5 but you'll need to check if the item has changed manually, in a globalstep 21:16 tango_ true, but at this point I might just as well do it already from within the function that gets called when the item action triggers (be it manually or passively) 21:16 tango_ ah, but then I wouldn't be able to remove the hud when the item gets unwielded 21:16 tango_ uff 21:17 tango_ oh well in the passive check I can check if there is a hud defined for that player and remove it if the item is not being wielded 21:17 tango_ let's try this 21:35 tango_ ok it works 21:49 niwla23[m] The minetest binary says it made the server but client won't connect to it.
