00:06 Gustavo6046 Is water supposed to flow down a lesser further extent when it goes down a level?
00:07 Sven_vB joined #minetest
00:24 Gustavo6046 Water can push items, but I hoped they'd not get stuck.
00:24 Gustavo6046 I was sorely mistaken.

00:33 FrostRanger[m] Gustavo6046: do you have ethereal and 3d armor installed by chance?
00:33 Gustavo6046 FrostRanger[m]: yes, both
00:35 Gustavo6046 is it configurable?
00:35 FrostRanger[m] When both of those mods are installed, 3d armor enables fire damage by default
00:36 FrostRanger[m] If you go into the config and coment out the line for the torch, you can remove that though
00:36 FrostRanger[m] The config for 3d armor that is
00:37 Gustavo6046 ah
00:37 Gustavo6046 I see
00:37 Gustavo6046 thanks!
00:37 FrostRanger[m] Np
00:41 Gustavo6046 FrostRanger[m]: is it a .conf file? I found mods/3d_armor/3d_armor/armor.conf.example
00:42 Gustavo6046 ohhh
00:42 Gustavo6046 api.lua
00:43 Gustavo6046 there is the definitions for armor.config, including fire_protect_torch
00:43 Gustavo6046 waaait
00:43 Gustavo6046 oh
00:43 Gustavo6046 FrostRanger[m]: I had no idea there was a whole system for reading config files from the world directory
00:45 Gustavo6046 or wait
00:45 Gustavo6046 nevermind lol
00:45 Gustavo6046 I'm stupid
00:45 Gustavo6046 there are ingame interfaces for it, I didn't know
01:05 milkt joined #minetest
01:14 FrostRanger[m] Gustavo6046:  actually, I was referring to editing them directly
01:16 adfeno joined #minetest
01:18 Gustavo6046 FrostRanger[m]: ah
01:18 Gustavo6046 I still haven't figured out how
01:18 Gustavo6046 which is funny
01:18 erlehmann joined #minetest
01:18 Gustavo6046 maybe I just uncomment the lua line? but that doesn't seem like it
01:20 Gustavo6046 let me check the wiki
01:20 Gustavo6046 I'm definitely missing something lol
01:20 adfeno Hi there error: terminate called without an active exception, when copying the minetest.format_chat_message and redefining it.
01:21 adfeno Gustavo6046: I think lua_api.txt is the best place to check stuff.
01:21 adfeno Sometimes the wiki is not updated.
01:23 Gustavo6046 Ahh.
01:23 Gustavo6046 adfeno: no, the wiki.minetest.net wiki. I'm not creating a mod or anything
01:23 Gustavo6046 I've written a mod before, or well, more precisely I added changes to one
01:23 Gustavo6046 Anyway, I'm trying to figure mod configuration.
01:23 Gustavo6046 For some reason there's just nothing obvious in the file tree and the wiki has nothing about it either.
01:23 adfeno What is the issue, Gustavo6046?
01:24 Gustavo6046 In 3d_armor/api.lua, armor.config is defined, but I dunno if it reads any configuration file, and/or how that would work.
01:24 Gustavo6046 I an definitely missing something obvious and I'm probably dumb.
01:24 Gustavo6046 I mean because ofi t
01:24 adfeno Mostly see a file called settingtypes.txt
01:24 Gustavo6046 Oh, there is that
01:25 Gustavo6046 armor_fire_protect_torch (Enable fire protection torch damage) bool false
01:25 adfeno or do a recursive search, starting from 3d_armor, for the phrase: minetest.settings
01:26 Gustavo6046 I found the relevant setting
01:26 Gustavo6046 It's set to true by default when it encounters ethereal is loaded (which it is)
01:26 Gustavo6046 So I just put that in minetest.conf? Seems a bit counter-intuitive.
01:26 Gustavo6046 For some reason
01:27 adfeno You can make separate conf for a given server, provided you use --config option when launching Minetest.
01:29 Gustavo6046 I do do that
01:29 Gustavo6046 I didn't realize mod config went in the same file
01:29 Gustavo6046 :p
01:29 Gustavo6046 Well, I don't know, I'll test i now
01:29 adfeno Gustavo6046: That setting can be adjusted in graphical user interface (before starting a world or joining a server), in the advanced settings. Or, you can do as you said.
01:29 Gustavo6046 it now*
01:29 Gustavo6046 adfeno: it's a dedicated server
01:30 adfeno Gustavo6046: Ah, nice, I`m also doing one in Brazil.
01:41 Gustavo6046 yeah!
01:41 Gustavo6046 adfeno: my dedicated server is actually a digital ocean VPS in the US that an american friend gave me an account on
01:41 Gustavo6046 guess what, I'm from Brazil!
01:43 adfeno Nice to meet you
01:43 Gustavo6046 Thanks, mate!
01:43 adfeno Brazilian Minetest players have a XMPP chat room/channel where there are some brazilian developers
01:44 adfeno xmpp:minetest@chat.libreplanetbr.org?join
01:44 adfeno We might soon migrate to other server, but for now we use that.
01:45 adfeno More information about what is XMPP, and how to use it: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/XMPP.pt
02:05 adfeno Can we use colors in chat?
02:25 adfeno For some strange reason, get_player_by_name is terminating/aborting my server.
02:25 adfeno I think I have an idea.
02:25 adfeno I`ll try set nametag color to ""

02:30 steveiRcvs Hi.
02:31 steveiRcvs I'm playing through skyblock, I'm on the last level.  How am I supposed to get iron bars?  The guide says to break steel bars, but I've broken over a hundred now and nothing is happening.
02:54 Taoki joined #minetest
03:00 adfeno How to redefine minetest.format_chat_message ?
03:00 adfeno to add nametag color?

12:32 adfeno It seems that the callback to on_priv_revoke doesn't have priv, contrary to what lua_api.txt said.
12:34 adfeno And also, every attempt to get player privs during on_priv_revoke/grant gives outdated list of privs.
12:34 galex-713 joined #minetest
12:47 adfeno I could check privs on each message, but that would not be practical.
12:48 adfeno I think I`ll only check on join.
12:53 ZeroConfig joined #minetest
12:54 ZeroConfig Doesn't anyone know of a working, updated or alternate to this:  https://github.com/ChaosWormz/forbidden_usernames/blob/master/init.lua
12:55 ZeroConfig Because this one doesn't work, gives an error:  bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)
12:55 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/1 -- GlowStone code by anonymousAwesome
12:57 ZeroConfig Or also if someone knows how to correct the code to fix it.
12:58 ZeroConfig It's supposed to check new players usernames and disallow certain names from registering.  I want to block perverted names. Thank you.
13:01 ZeroConfig It says it was originally by sfan5, so maybe he has a better version of it?
13:01 sfan5 that one functions implementation was originally by me, not the mod
13:02 ZeroConfig Ok. Can you offer me any advice with this?
13:02 sfan5 anyway I'm pretty sure there's an updated version called name_restrictions or similar
13:02 ZeroConfig Thank you sir, I'll search for that one.
13:03 ZeroConfig Thank  you, I found it:  https://github.com/ShadowNinja/name_restrictions
13:04 sfan5 by looking at the code I can tell that it's similarily outdated and won't work
13:04 ZeroConfig Also does anyone know what "squeakecraft[er]" is? I've seen that name in both versions.
13:04 ZeroConfig Yeah 4 years ago. :(
13:07 ZeroConfig I googled this, but it still doesn't tell me what it is: https://github.com/Pipsqueake/SqueakeCraft
13:08 ZeroConfig The entire readme is:
13:08 ZeroConfig README.md
13:08 ZeroConfig SqueakeCraft

13:31 alex-resist joined #minetest
13:32 Wuzzy joined #minetest
14:24 adfeno Is there any way to do something only after on_priv_revoke/grant prcessed all changed privs?
14:25 adfeno For example, admin can do /revoke player fly,home (note the comma), this will make an unordered call to on_priv_revoke for all of fly and home
14:26 sfan5 minetest.after(0, ...) probably
14:26 sfan5 I've faced this proble in the past and decided to just not fix it
14:26 sfan5 problem*
14:27 adfeno unordered in the sense that priv inside on_priv_revoke will be a string with priv name, and this will repeat with no particular order (after receiving the list, server could do home first then fly, or fly first then home).
14:28 adfeno sfan5: Ah I see, thanks

16:26 MTDiscord <a​ppguru> minetest.after is not the way to go here
16:26 MTDiscord <a​ppguru> rather, you should override the func of the revoke/grant chatcommand to execute an additional callback specified by you afterwards
16:31 sfan5 that's also a hack and worse since those chatcommands are not the only way to grant or revoke privs
16:33 MTDiscord <a​ppguru> but would you want on_priv_revoke to be essentially on_step? I don't think so
16:39 qj joined #minetest
16:52 sfan5 I'm suggesting using minetest.after(0) inside on_priv_revoke to wait for the change to actually happen

18:17 TechDude Wuzzy, I have a question about mineclone2
18:17 Wuzzy hello
18:17 Wuzzy i am Wuzzy.
18:17 TechDude so I wanna find a village
18:17 TechDude but I can’t find one, so I wanna make one
18:18 TechDude i do /giveme mobs_mc:villager 16
18:18 TechDude then I place all of em and build some homes, BUT
18:18 TechDude how am I supposed to trade with them? I’ve looked at the code countless times
18:19 Wuzzy rightclick
18:20 TechDude I tried rightclicking multiple times
18:20 Wuzzy with empty hand
18:20 TechDude and my mcl version is not outdated, I downloaded it the day before yesterday
18:20 Wuzzy the next version might have villages
18:20 TechDude wait “empty hand” oh, ok! Thx
18:20 Wuzzy that worked?
18:21 TechDude No, I’ll try it ltr
18:21 Wuzzy if it does not work, then its a bug
18:21 TechDude i doing off-topic stuff rn
18:21 Wuzzy oh, there is one villager that you cannot trade with.
18:21 Wuzzy its the one with green clothing iirc
18:21 TechDude nitwit ik
18:21 Wuzzy but all others should work. if they dont, its a bug
18:22 TechDude all villagers i place are nitwit
18:22 Krock can I kill Villagers?
18:23 TechDude Well ofc u cam
18:23 TechDude can*
18:29 qjq joined #minetest
18:31 Wuzzy that is definitely a bug
18:32 Wuzzy report MCL2 bugs here: https://git.minetest.land/MineClone2/MineClone2/issues
18:53 scr267 joined #minetest
18:53 TechDude I’m back, and being able to kill villagers is a bug? Wuzzy
18:54 Wuzzy no
18:54 Gustavo6046 So
18:54 Gustavo6046 10+1's Builtin Item water pushing thing doesn't always push item completely off a block
18:54 Gustavo6046 Sometimes they get stuck
18:58 Gustavo6046 Particularly in diagonal corners
19:01 Krock that's because it uses the old style of manual collision detection
19:01 Krock it checks the node below its center only
19:01 systwi joined #minetest
19:01 Krock and if that happens on a corner, it attempts to fall but fails doing so because the engine still does collisions
19:01 Krock updating the mod's code to 5.3.0-ish should fix such issues
19:04 Gustavo6046 dah
19:04 Gustavo6046 ah*
19:04 Gustavo6046 Krock: 5.3.0-ish
19:04 Gustavo6046 ?
19:04 Gustavo6046 It is updated
19:04 Gustavo6046 I installed it yeasterday ;p
19:04 Gustavo6046 :p *
19:04 sfan5 does mineclone use its' own item entity code?
19:04 Gustavo6046 I could do the check on the four horizontal corners
19:04 Gustavo6046 Like in a fork or something
19:05 Krock yes sure the mod is up-to-date but isn't using recent features apparently
19:05 Gustavo6046 I wonder if I can fork it into GitHub using the github import functionality, and send a PR back to notabug.
19:05 Gustavo6046 Krock: oh, you said updating the mod's code
19:05 Gustavo6046 lol
19:05 Gustavo6046 Apologies, I probably need a caffeine transfusion.
19:06 Sven_vB joined #minetest
19:06 Krock no, PRs must be on the same service. you could however export your commits as patches and submit those to notabug
19:09 Gustavo6046 Oh, okay
19:16 Sven_vB hi :) is the \e(c@#111) color code in an NPC dialog a MineTest feature, or one of Irrlicht, or is that a server mod
19:16 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/111 -- Window close icon gives odd screen appearance on shutdown
19:17 Gustavo6046 Krock: you mean if there is space under an item, or if it should still be propelled by water?
19:17 Gustavo6046 If the latter, then checking on the four corners should also apply up to four thrusts depending on how many flowing water nodes intersect with the item, right?
19:17 Krock Wuzzy: do you have a good real-world example to test get_short_description() ?
19:18 Wuzzy the show_wielded_item mod
19:18 Wuzzy but it needs updating, still
19:18 Wuzzy which i will probably do after release
19:19 Krock https://repo.or.cz/minetest_show_wielded_item.git/tree  this one?
19:19 Krock nvm you moved to another service
19:20 Krock okay then I'll test it on a few random mods to check whether it works well
19:20 Krock thanks anyway
19:21 Wuzzy ?
19:21 Gustavo6046 Krock: as in, what exactly does it check regarding the node below it?
19:21 Gustavo6046 below the item, of course
19:22 Gustavo6046 Like, if it is still on a floor and/or pushable?
19:22 Krock whether it can fall thoguh
19:22 Gustavo6046 Oh, okay
19:22 Krock i.e. walkable = false
19:22 Krock minetest 5.3.0 (or so) introduced collision information which can be used for that sort of thing
19:23 rubenwardy > <Krock> okay then I'll test it on a few random mods to check whether it works well
19:23 rubenwardy Make sure you have something to actually show get_short_description. You could modify show_eielded_item for that
19:23 Krock 5-line testing mod that just runs the function on the wielded item
19:23 Krock should be good enough
19:26 Krock ah yes. xdecor's enchantment feature works just fine to test this
19:28 Gustavo6046 Krock: it only checks def_under
19:28 Krock Gustavo6046: yes and that's exactly the problem
19:29 Gustavo6046 Krock: yes, but I don't know how I am going to change the code below to check for possibly four
19:29 Krock not the part with "check" but "only". it should also take collision data into account
19:29 Gustavo6046 Krock: I know
19:29 Gustavo6046 but what I mean is
19:29 Krock this literal edge-case can be solved pretty much by a single node check
19:30 Gustavo6046 lol, "edge" case, nice pun :D
19:30 Krock well it's not really a pun because it's literally an edge case
19:30 Gustavo6046 but yeah, am I supposed to list up to four unique nodes under the item, and loop the code below it over all them?
19:30 Krock https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/builtin/game/item_entity.lua
19:31 Krock this is the behaviour without the item_entity mod
19:32 Krock the trick here is to use the collision data to get the nearest colliding node
19:32 Krock https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/builtin/game/item_entity.lua#L254-L262
19:32 Gustavo6046 Ahh, I see
19:32 Krock have a look into the lua api doc, or print(dump()) that stuff to check what happens
19:33 Krock tinker a bit and you'll find a solution sooner or later
19:46 garywhite joined #minetest
19:46 garywhite joined #minetest
20:00 Gustavo6046 Krock: I just adapted the little snippet of code from minetest builtin's item_entity.lua
20:00 Gustavo6046 https://termbin.com/bxbv
20:00 Gustavo6046 is this good?
20:00 Gustavo6046 or does it look good?
20:00 Gustavo6046 I should probably test it fist
20:00 Gustavo6046 first*
20:01 Gustavo6046 but I don't know
20:02 Krock the only thing that could happen there is that you get an error and lose a few seconds of gameplay progress
20:02 Krock just try it
20:03 Krock oh wait. you should get "moveresult" from the 3rd on_step arg
20:03 Krock i.e.  > self, dtime, moveresult
20:05 Gustavo6046 Krock: doesn't it?}
20:05 Gustavo6046 oh
20:06 Krock I was just guessing. haven't looked at builtin_item for a while
20:09 Gustavo6046 ah
20:09 Gustavo6046 alright
20:09 Gustavo6046 Krock: true
20:09 Gustavo6046 It wasn't defined
20:10 Gustavo6046 this better? https://termbin.com/aw6k
20:10 bwarden joined #minetest
20:14 Gustavo6046 Krock: so I forked the original notabug repo and put my changes in a branch https://notabug.org/Gustavo6046/builtin_item/src/gus-mod-update-5.3.0
20:15 Gustavo6046 now I want to make a pull request, but I can't tell if "base: master" refers to master on my repo or master on 10+1's!
20:15 Krock > <Gustavo6046> this better? https://termbin.com/aw6k
20:15 Krock dunno. does it work as you'd expect?
20:15 Gustavo6046 Krock: didn't check yet
20:15 Gustavo6046 you know, I should probably check first
20:15 Gustavo6046 hang on
20:16 Krock good question. next question. I usually open Pull Requests in the original repository and point that to my working branch in the fork, if possible
20:16 Gustavo6046 oh, ok
20:16 Gustavo6046 Wait
20:16 Krock github does that correctly by default but I dunno about notabug
20:16 Gustavo6046 Krock: it does show it in TenPlus1's repo
20:16 Gustavo6046 in notabug
20:17 Gustavo6046 I just noticed anyway
20:17 Gustavo6046 https://i.imgur.com/nSEI9Ln.png
20:17 Krock that's good
20:17 Gustavo6046 mhm
20:21 Gustavo6046 Krock: it's still stuck on the corner
20:21 Gustavo6046 https://i.imgur.com/JwGmcGn.png
20:21 Gustavo6046 but
20:21 Gustavo6046 it doesn't seem to happen as much
20:21 Gustavo6046 but
20:21 Gustavo6046 still happens
20:21 luizrpgluiz joined #minetest
20:23 Krock oh I think that happens because there's no water
20:23 Krock or is there? difficult to tell
20:23 Gustavo6046 Krock: what?
20:23 Gustavo6046 I mean
20:23 Gustavo6046 Krock: indeed, it is like I said before you came up with your ground thing
20:23 Gustavo6046 it's not about ground
20:23 Gustavo6046 it's about water
20:24 Gustavo6046 it stops being pushed just early enough that it does not fall
20:24 luizrpgluiz hi all
20:25 Gustavo6046 To be fair, Krock, it does seem to happen more with TenPlusOne's code
20:26 Gustavo6046 Maybe 1/4th of a second is not fine enough?
20:26 luizrpgluiz Gustavo6046: hi
20:26 Gustavo6046 Hello luizrpgluiz
20:26 luizrpgluiz Gustavo6046: how are you? i am brazilian :)
20:26 Gustavo6046 same! :D

20:31 Gustavo6046 Krock: I think I found what I was looking for
20:32 Krock a valentine present for me?
20:32 Krock how nice of you. thanks!
20:33 Gustavo6046 Hehe
20:33 Gustavo6046 I suppose too, but
20:33 Gustavo6046 Krock: in local function quick_flow, below line 105 I think
20:34 Gustavo6046 that's where it finds water flow direction
20:34 Gustavo6046 but it only checks orthogonally
20:34 Krock ah yes there we go
20:34 Gustavo6046 I think by duplicating the lines and adding checks with slight offsets on X (in one duplicate) and on Z (in another duplicate) I should be able to rectify this.
20:34 Gustavo6046 But I don't know
20:35 Gustavo6046 or maybe just do diagonals regularly
20:35 Gustavo6046 Yeah
20:35 Gustavo6046 I'll use 0.5, not sqrt(2)/2 :)
20:38 Gustavo6046 Hm, that doesn't seem to work
20:38 Gustavo6046 I'll use 1
20:49 Splyncryth joined #minetest
20:50 Gustavo6046 Krock: the changes I did actually work!
20:50 Gustavo6046 I just had to change the inverse square root table

20:53 milkt joined #minetest

21:08 awell joined #minetest
21:15 Gustavo6046 Krock: something feels funny
21:15 Gustavo6046 the items often look reluctant to fall down
21:15 Gustavo6046 like, they're about to go down a level, but then they recoil back
