Time Nick Message 00:59 hisforever Hi I'm trying o build a factory. How do I set up My sourting tubs? https://imgur.com/a/cHeWaHQ 01:00 hisforever is there a url to explain the sorting tubs? 01:12 Hawk777 Sure, the mod’s homepage has some info: https://gitlab.com/VanessaE/pipeworks/-/wikis/home#mese-sorting-tubes 01:40 hisforever Hawk777: Thanks I've been looking for a long time for this info:) 05:46 hecks I'm working on a server that's going to host an original game made just for it. Where on the forum do I post about it? The server isn't live yet, but hopefully will be soon. 05:53 rubenwardy Servers 06:29 hecks Even though it isn't live yet? 13:06 mazes_81 hi all, I used to play on a server named "Elidragon skyblock", but since some weeks it seems off 13:07 mazes_81 does somebody know who made/maintained this server, I would be interested in fetching sources, as I found it really nice 13:13 Krock no idea 13:17 mazes_81 ok, found it on Fleckenstein github 13:18 mazes_81 sorry for the noise 14:04 daiNoZord Is there a Linux 32bit version of Minetest available that's reasonably up-to-date? 14:14 Krock daiNoZord: no, but if you ask me very gently I might build you one for Ubuntu 18.04 on my old laptop 14:14 Krock at least not that I know of. 14:14 Krock assuming you already checked https://launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/+archive/ubuntu/daily-builds 14:14 Krock or comparable repositories, depending on your distro 14:16 daiNoZord Is it case of compiling on a 32bit machine? would a VM do? It's for my lads pc but I don't have access to that. Just got him Puppy to try to revive an ancient windows box 14:26 Krock VM or cross-compiling is possible 14:34 daiNoZord Thanks Krock - I found a i386 .deb on the link you posted. Didn't find that in my search. Hopefully that'll do it :) 14:34 Krock good luck! 16:26 ura Hello, i am a new user of World Edit, i make a repetitive movement and i try to use World Edit to make that faster, but when i try to use the "//save" command, the game gets back to menu and give me an error message "nil value", can someone help me? 16:43 Krock hi. would you like to export a map section to the server's files? 16:44 Krock it would be helpful to have the whole error message to figure out what exactly is going wrong (pastebin, paste.debian.net etc) 16:47 Krock ^ ura 17:42 ura yes, sorry i was afk, the message is: https://framabin.org/p/?1af3f7176c8d6391#cn+R+viRNOOrW+HjszHRN9A+I6NXpX7u5RhIWwNcJn0= 17:44 Krock original source: https://github.com/Uberi/Minetest-WorldEdit/blob/master/worldedit_commands/init.lua#L859 17:44 Krock there's no mention of "execute", hence I'd recommend to update WE first and retry. perhaps it has already been fixed 17:46 ura OK, I'll try, but I'm using Debian packaged version, so this might not be uptodate 17:46 ura Thanks, btw 17:47 Krock please don't install mods using distro repositories. instead, consider using git clone or the integrated content manager to download mods 17:48 Krock it might be an easy solution, but the mods will be somewhat outdated after a while 18:37 ura sure, but on the other side, the stability brought by the distro somehow counts! 18:37 ura thanks for your help, btw. 18:38 Krock !next 18:38 MinetestBot Another satisfied customer. Next! 19:51 tango_ hm is it just me or there is no way to have two favorite servers? 19:53 tango_ if I connect to a server adding its IP manually, and then connect to a new ona again adding it manually, the old one isn't listed anymore 19:55 Krock it should. perhaps it's a bug. 19:55 Krock seen similar reports already. please check the issue tracker 19:56 tango_ Krock: let me see 20:29 rubenwardy tango_, Krock: I have a PR open to fix this. In the meantime, delete client/favorites.txt (whatever it's called) and try again 20:29 rubenwardy it happens when the file is corrupted 20:29 rubenwardy PR: #10085 20:29 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/10085 -- Use JSON for favorites, move server list code to Lua by rubenwardy 21:35 tango_ rubenwardy: I'll check, thanks 21:36 tango_ hm why can't I put a torch on a boat 8-/ 22:35 biggvs_richardvs Hi all. New to channel, been a minetest fan for years 22:36 hecks hi =] 22:37 biggvs_richardvs Just curious - is there a list of games that are known to work well with 5.3 or whatever the latest stable is? 22:37 MTDiscord <05e​xe_virus> basically all of them 22:37 biggvs_richardvs I keep finding these cames that crash with 5.3 22:37 MTDiscord <05e​xe_virus> new versions are nearly always backwards compatible. What games and what errors? 22:37 biggvs_richardvs I tried the Zelda thened one, but it crashes every time some particular weather gets invoked 22:38 hecks And it works in 5.2? 22:38 biggvs_richardvs No that crashed too 22:38 biggvs_richardvs I had to go back to 5.1.1 I think 22:38 MTDiscord <05e​xe_virus> because likely it's been broken since 0.4 haha 22:38 biggvs_richardvs Also this one 22:38 biggvs_richardvs https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=9184 22:38 biggvs_richardvs "Adventuretest" 22:39 biggvs_richardvs Won't even start on anything but 5.0.x 22:39 biggvs_richardvs Runs on 4.x but then my 5.3 client can't connect 22:39 hecks My guess would be that things on ContentDB would at least be somewhat up to date 22:40 biggvs_richardvs I've build like 4 versions of MT from source under the same subdirectory, so I can easily switch between versions for the server 22:40 biggvs_richardvs Happy to drop the error messages when they crash if it would help 22:41 hecks You're better off dropping them to the maintainers of those respective games 22:41 MTDiscord <05e​xe_virus> that's generally best. Github or gitlab issues 22:41 MTDiscord <05e​xe_virus> not minetest 22:41 MTDiscord <05e​xe_virus> we don't maintain mods or games in github/minetest 22:41 biggvs_richardvs Ya. Unfortunately adventuretest looks like nobody has looked at it since 2012 22:41 biggvs_richardvs Zelda 2016 22:41 MTDiscord <05e​xe_virus> could maybe upload/fork them and someone could get around to it? 22:41 biggvs_richardvs I could be mistaken. Just going by most recent post on the game board 22:42 MTDiscord <05e​xe_virus> Shouldn't be too hard to update them 22:43 biggvs_richardvs MTDiscord sounds like a worthy thing when I'm able 22:43 hecks Well if the game is abandoned and you want it for your server, maybe you can try patching it up yourself. 22:43 hecks Ideally games shouldn't break but stuff happens 22:43 biggvs_richardvs Ya, might be a bit past my skill level. Can anyone recommend a cool game or know known to work well with 5.3 22:44 biggvs_richardvs err I can type 22:44 hecks exile is cool =] 22:44 biggvs_richardvs ok thank you I'll give it a go 22:44 hecks oh but right, it's not prepared for multiplayer 22:44 hecks I forgot, the one server that ran it had a guy who patched it specifically for that 22:45 biggvs_richardvs ugh. The minetest forum is in maintenance mode 22:45 hecks yup 22:45 hecks I do have some advice for you though 22:45 biggvs_richardvs Do you happen to have a link to github for exile? 22:45 hecks uhhhh well it should be on contentdb 22:45 sfan5 !mod exile 22:45 biggvs_richardvs yes @hecks? 22:45 MinetestBot sfan5: Exile 0.2.1 by Dokimi - https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=24334 - https://github.com/DokimiCU/Exile 22:45 sfan5 uhh that one I guess? 22:45 biggvs_richardvs Thank you! 22:45 hecks but once again, I forgot that multiplayer is iffy on that and you'd have to ask a guy named Gundul for a fixed up version 22:46 hecks of course it's just my personal taste, the game might not be everybody's fancy 22:46 hecks anyway my advice is, you don't always need to install a fancy game to run a cool server 22:46 biggvs_richardvs Sure. Happy to try it out 22:46 hecks one of the best servers ever in MT was an almost vanilla server with some crude mobs and no biomes 22:47 hecks it's the fact that there were no biomes, no soil and no trees that made it interesting, the mobs were the only source of biomass 22:48 hecks and despite the absolute poverty, players managed to make an entire city in that wasteland, with their own hands 22:50 daiNoZord can anyone help with a compiling minetest question? 22:50 hecks yup? 22:50 hecks go ahead daiNoZord 22:51 daiNoZord thanks - i ran make & its looking for ftbuild2 in the wrong place - can i change that? on ubuntu 22:51 daiNoZord sorry ft2build 22:51 hecks I guess that's freetype 22:52 daiNoZord yeah - its installed 22:52 hecks and I think there's an option you can pass to cmake to override the location of that 22:52 hecks not sure, let me check 22:53 sfan5 what is "the wrong place" and how did you determine that? 22:53 daiNoZord its not in include but in freetype2 dir 22:54 hecks try FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR_ft2build 22:54 sfan5 usuaally cmake searches the right path on its own, or did you override those? 22:54 sfan5 usually* 22:54 hecks like -DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR_ft2build=(path) 22:55 daiNoZord is that after make -j$(nproc) ? 22:55 hecks no, when you invoke cmake 22:55 hecks you have to run cmake first 22:55 hecks then make 22:56 hecks and if you didn't run cmake, well then, just do that and it'll probably work 22:56 hecks if you need cmake to do anything differently, here are the options 22:56 hecks https://github.com/minetest/minetest#cmake-options 22:58 guest2 Will minetest ever be able to compete with minecraft java? 22:59 daiNoZord i ran cmake first - been tryna get this far all day - now running cmake it says /usr/include/freetype2 does not appear to contain cmakelists.txt 23:03 sfan5 guest2: in terms of game experience and features, likely not anytime soon or never 23:06 guest2 Sfan5: how about performance? 23:07 hecks guest2: minetest already wins because it's free software and continues to evolve 23:07 sfan5 it does already run better than Minecraft (java) on some configurations, particularily low end 23:07 sfan5 daiNoZord: if you set an option do not put a space between the name, = and value 23:08 hecks I heard that java MC runs on a single thread, and "mods" are very hackily implemented 23:09 daiNoZord sfan: thanks - im tryin again now. got up to 77% then new issues - ill persevere 23:09 biggvs_richardvs Exile just crashed too 23:10 biggvs_richardvs 2020-12-06 15:04:53: ACTION[Main]: Server: Shutting downMegamorph time overhead: 0.0710912020-12-06 15:04:54: ERROR[Main]: ServerError: AsyncErr: ServerThread::run Lua: Runtime error from mod 'bed_rest' in callback on_leaveplayer(): Invalid position (expected table got boolean). 23:10 hecks ah, friggin megamorph 23:10 hecks never mind that recommendation 23:10 biggvs_richardvs :D 23:10 MTDiscord <11J​onathon> can try nodecore, that should work on 5.3 23:10 hecks I really like the game but some mods it uses are very poorly coded 23:10 biggvs_richardvs It did look pretty cool 23:10 hecks megamorph in particular, it's the dungeon generator 23:10 biggvs_richardvs Ahh ok 23:10 MTDiscord <11J​onathon> also repixture should work on 5.3 23:10 hecks if you really want to see it work though 23:10 hecks ask Gundul for a working version because he sort of fixed it 23:11 hecks keep in mind that megamorph is so slow that one person exploring the dungeons can lag the whole server 23:11 biggvs_richardvs Ok. I don't know Gundui, but if I see him I'll ask 23:11 biggvs_richardvs Ahh ok 23:12 biggvs_richardvs Sounds pretty cool though - do you know of a game or mod with megamorph that works with 5.3? I can also fire up 5.1.1 or any of the 5.x versions if that would help 23:23 daiNoZord whoo! works :) 23:54 tango_ I never managed to understand how to place corner stairs 23:54 tango_ it's nearly impossible to get it right on the first try 23:54 tango_ a screwdriver is essential BUT you need iron for it ... 23:55 specing If only iron wasn't so hard to find...
