<Jonathon> servers that use something like chat3 are greatly appreciated, makes pms and some other stuff green to stand out |
00:16 |
cheapie |
Jonathon: It's possible to manipulate the chat colors and stuff on the client side too - "chat6" is an old client mod I made to do that a while back, and recently fixed so it works with modern clients again: https://cheapiesystems.com/git/chat6 |
00:17 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> well yes, but most servers disallow csms and take a dim view of you patching your client to do so |
00:18 |
cheapie |
Huh, can't say I've ever seen a server that totally blocked (as opposed to just restricting) CSMs. |
00:18 |
TommyTreasure |
Jonathon, does your chat6 allow for the client to make up for color blindness issues? |
00:18 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> :thonking: chat6 is not my mod, but cheapies |
00:18 |
TommyTreasure |
meaning, configuring |
00:19 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> and its a csm |
00:19 |
TommyTreasure |
i knew that, but i had read you made the latest changes. sorry |
00:19 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> i have never commited anything to chat6 lol |
00:19 |
cheapie |
I'm the only one that's ever done anything with chat6 (not to be confused with chat3 or any other numbers) :P |
00:20 |
TommyTreasure |
i haven't used anything other than default, but i did add mt.conf to strip colors in chat |
00:20 |
cheapie |
I called it "chat6" because it's meant to make the chat look sorta like HexChat - does timestamping, nick coloring (same algorithm as HexChat so it picks the same colors), and highlighting. |
00:20 |

i almost lost a great moderator over that, but in the end, he passed away., sad day |

minetes is all about the mods |

Does require that the server allows CSMs, but des |

cheapie |
Does require that the server allows CSMs, but doesn't require any special access. |
00:22 |
TommyTreasure |
i think my conf is set for the default csm restrictions. can't remember |
00:22 |
TommyTreasure |
mods are super simple to install and configure in single player mode |
00:23 |
cheapie |
smallfoot-: Unfortunately the devs seem to disagree with that, with the whole thing as branding it as "just an engine". |
00:23 |
TommyTreasure |
if it weren't for the mods, every minetest server would be exactly alike |
00:23 |
TommyTreasure |
makes for a boring game, don't you think? |
00:23 |
VanessaE |
if it weren't for mods, every server would consist of nothing but unknown nodes :P |
00:24 |
TommyTreasure |
lol, and some mods do the same thing LOL |
00:24 |
cheapie |
VanessaE: I think air is built-in. You get air. :P |
00:24 |
VanessaE |
well yeah |
00:25 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> well, technically minetest games exists but they are collections of mods |

you're commenting in the wrong place |
00:40 |
TommyTreasure |
besides, if you're experienced enough to join an irc channel, then you should have no problems learning your way around the minetest keyboard shortcuts |
00:40 |
TommyTreasure |
try typing the first letter of their name first, then press tab |
00:41 |
TommyTreasure |
there are tons of "let's play" videos on youtube. i'm sure one or more will help you find what you need |
00:41 |
TommyTreasure |
i have an idea! write your own minetest client! |
00:42 |
VanessaE |
or here's an idea: file an issue about it. make an official feature request |
00:42 |
VanessaE |
no. |
00:43 |
VanessaE |
sure as fuck not aiming at 5 year olds (or generically, children) |
00:43 |
TommyTreasure |
ok, let's be truthful. i have 7 and 8 year old players, that have never played minetest, or any other game like it, and they blow the doors off some experienced players. stop complaining, and start learing |
00:43 |
VanessaE |
trannies? |

VanessaE |
wut |
00:43 |

lol |
00:44 |

that stops right not |

um, no |

VanessaE |
my servers have plenty of kids and they seem to have no trouble figuring out how to play |
00:47 |
VanessaE |
ok no |
00:47 |
VanessaE |
wtf is wrong with you |
00:47 |
TommyTreasure |
smallfoot-, you were smart enough to find how to cloak your nick at freenode. please learn how to play the game |
00:48 |
VanessaE |
yeah and it's not inclusive to gamers who want blood guts and gore |
00:48 |
VanessaE |
or gamers who want to race cars |
00:48 |
VanessaE |
or gamers who want to go around gobbling glowing dots and multi-colored ghosts. |
00:48 |
TommyTreasure |
hey, i have all those things on my server!!! |
00:49 |
sfan5 |
i'll say this: servers have the ability to provide many of the features you ask for right now, this is not on minetest because it's just an engine |
00:49 |
sfan5 |
and before you say that it should be built-in: no, every feature under the sun cannot possibly be shipped with it |
00:49 |
VanessaE |
mods are a core principle of a lot of online games, smallfoot- |
00:49 |
VanessaE |
you just know them better as downloadable content, DLC> |
00:49 |
TommyTreasure |
yes smallfoot- you need to play all the servers until you find the ones you like |
00:50 |
MTDiscord |
<oneplustwo> every server owner should know some basic shell commands |
00:50 |
TommyTreasure |
smallfoot-, doesn't seem to be an admin. just a frustrated gamer that is too lazy to learn the basics of minetest |
00:50 |
sfan5 |
command autocompetion is one of the exceptions to this |
00:51 |
VanessaE |
TommyTreasure: you know, now I wonder if anyone's ever done that -- made dots-and-ghosts i.e. Pac-man happen :) |
00:51 |
TommyTreasure |
don't you have a casino mod? if so, one of these days i have to try it |
00:51 |
VanessaE |
sorta |
00:51 |
MTDiscord |
<oneplustwo> casino mod eh? |
00:51 |
VanessaE |
mini-slots its called. has two machines |

smallfoot-: yeah and what do you think mods do on minetest? |
00:52 |
MTDiscord |
<oneplustwo> i'm going to have to rate it an M because there is gambling in it |

<oneplustwo> does "casual gamers" mean "complete blockheads" in your definition? |

man, that's way too cheap |
01:02 |
MTDiscord |
<oneplustwo> i believe in discount stores |
01:03 |
TommyTreasure |
discount stores are for those that know how to read advertisements |
01:03 |
TommyTreasure |
that's way too much work for a casual gamer. |
01:03 |
MTDiscord |
<oneplustwo> what if you're too tired to move your head to look at the advert? |

i want to know why i have to actually push the power button on my computer to make it work |

there is. |
01:03 |
VanessaE |
there are *gasp* mods that implement money, banks, trading |
01:03 |
TommyTreasure |
it should know that when i sit in my chair, i'm there to play on it |

I maintain such a mod. a bit primitive maybe, but it works. |

catlandia isn't a minetest server |
01:04 |
TommyTreasure |
its a multicraft server |
01:04 |
TommyTreasure |
good |
01:04 |
VanessaE |
idk about catlandia. my servers are good imho |
01:04 |
TommyTreasure |
i could be wrong, and if so, sorry |
01:05 |
VanessaE |
servers. plural |
01:05 |
VanessaE |
I run 8 of them, with varying content, |
01:05 |
TommyTreasure |
from servers.minetest.net -- CatLandia [0.4 OR 5.0+] |
01:05 |
VanessaE |
but they aren't for the likes of you, smallfoot-. they require you to read the rules and learn how to play. |
01:05 |
TommyTreasure |
in my book, that makes it a multicraft server |
01:06 |
VanessaE |
you can't. |
01:06 |
VanessaE |
that doesn't work on mine :P |
01:06 |
TommyTreasure |
perfect noob for my server. might last about 1 minute before a moderator banned them |
01:06 |
VanessaE |
it requires you to read the rules, find the keyword, and use THAT to "agree" |
01:06 |
MTDiscord |
<oneplustwo> imagine clicking I AGREE on a form to sell your soul without reading |
01:07 |
TommyTreasure |
you seem to be the real neckberd here |
01:07 |
TommyTreasure |
if you don't read any of the rules on my server, you wouldn't be able to get out of spawn |
01:07 |
VanessaE |
and the keyword is randomized from a list every time someone looks at the rules dialog, so it can't just be given out to people |
01:07 |
VanessaE |
as for best server? back in the day, redcrab.suret.net was the best. hands down. |
01:07 |
MTDiscord |
<oneplustwo> guess what? the most efficient way to get information is reading |
01:07 |

i can just their first comment -- why is everything here protected? where can i build? |

smallfoot- was kicked by VanessaE: smallfoot- |

+1 that one was way overboard |
01:11 |
VanessaE |
TommyTreasure: well, at least some unnamed *city* was built on rock & roll :) |
01:11 |
TommyTreasure |
i always liked that tune, even though the group didn't care for it |
01:12 |
VanessaE |
a number of radio stations had their own version of it too |
01:13 |
VanessaE |
they'd dub-in their own DJ jabber in place of the bridge |

same out here. but i still liked the song |

glad you banned him. my pulse just shot to over 130 |

<VanessaE> oh I'm still here. |
01:26 |
MTDiscord |
<VanessaE> and yes |
01:26 |
TommyTreasure |
i'm just too lazy to go to github/gitlab to see for myself |
01:26 |
MTDiscord |
<VanessaE> though it has a couple of very minor positioning errors no doubt due to formspec bugfixes since I wrote it. |
01:26 |
TommyTreasure |
a lot of mods have formspec issues with 5.x |
01:28 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> it depends on which versions of 5x you want to support |
01:28 |
MTDiscord |
<VanessaE> it's nothing significant, just one of the reels is off by like 5px compared to normal |
01:28 |
TommyTreasure |
speaking of formspecs, my co-admin has an edit for the pipeworks adj, vacuum tube, that makes it easier for mobile devices to use |
01:29 |
TommyTreasure |
i'm trying to convince them to submit a pr |
01:29 |
timdorohin |
btw, is there something like 'list of whining and featreqs from MT mod devs' anywhere? |
01:29 |
TommyTreasure |
yeah, i think they call it the minetest forums |
01:29 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> lol ? |
01:30 |
MTDiscord |
<VanessaE> heh |
01:30 |
timdorohin |
'cept from list of closed 'won't add' issues, ofc |
01:30 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq86ZgTBSAw&t=6s offtopic, but i semi wish that the other had released more tracks |
01:30 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> i like there style |
01:31 |
TommyTreasure |
sounds too mellow |
01:31 |
TommyTreasure |
i've always loved the tunes that simcity used |
01:31 |
TommyTreasure |
but, there's a ton of money invested in those too. not in the minetest budget |
01:32 |
TommyTreasure |
VanessaE, anyway, my co-admin wrote a formspec that has a 'set' button, so mobile users could actually enter a radius, and make it work |
01:33 |
TommyTreasure |
seems as if minetest doesn't allow the 'enter' key to display when the keyboard app opens |
01:33 |
MTDiscord |
<VanessaE> please do file a PR on that |
01:34 |
TommyTreasure |
just sent them a pm |
01:34 |
TommyTreasure |
he's done a few PRs in advancedtrains, and most have been accepted too |
02:04 |
MTDiscord |
<oneplustwo> if i tried to write a track for minetest, i would be called a boomer XD |
02:05 |
TommyTreasure |
go for it! i'm only good for a classic rock feel, or a jazz feel |
02:06 |
TommyTreasure |
and neither of those is really fitting for minetest |
02:06 |
TommyTreasure |
then you would have to give license for admins to use it |
02:07 |
TommyTreasure |
that's way over my current minetest payscale |

another question: how do I get rid of objects that are just taking up space in my inventory and chests? for example; I somehow have 50 Wheat Seeds and a whole wheat farm which is more than enough for a single player, so where do I put all those? seeds |

<y5nw> Into the trash probably? |
15:12 |
tech_exorcist |
I'm not in creative mode |
15:13 |
tech_exorcist |
and I don't see any "trashcan" in the inventory (there is one in creative mode) |
15:13 |
MTDiscord |
<y5nw> Oh. I think you can just throw the item using the (by default) Q key |
15:14 |
tech_exorcist |
yes |
15:14 |
tech_exorcist |
but it stays on the ground |
15:16 |
MTDiscord |
<y5nw> it will disappear eventually |
15:18 |
tech_exorcist |
oh |
15:18 |
tech_exorcist |
thanks! :D |

I keep some things (such as tree leaves) to use them as furnace fuel |
15:41 |
sfan5 |
you can also use /pulverize |
15:46 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> Isn't there a /clearinv that's like /pulverize but for everything in your inventory? Just put all the good stuff away in chests and take out only the trash, then run that one command. |
15:48 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> yes |

<appguru> Pulverize and clearinv should not be a part of builtin |
15:52 |
sfan5 |
true |
15:57 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> They're fine as admin tools, but I usually patch them to require a priv. |

<Benrob0329> Yeah, some games might require the inventory to remain untouched e.g. for quest items |

i don't know if that's allowed, but its something i would never do |

You should create a forum topic |
18:06 |
rubenwardy |
and/or reddit post |
18:06 |
rubenwardy |
make sure that your server has something unique to offer |
18:06 |
Rrixxi |
okay thx rubenwardy |
18:06 |
rubenwardy |
there are a lot of servers compared to players |
18:06 |
Rrixxi |
on reddit minetest? |
18:09 |
Krock |
it's not forbidden here, but it's unlikely to find players here |
18:09 |
Krock |
also reddit.com/r/minetest or forum.minetest.net/ |
18:10 |
TommyTreasure |
rubenwardy, can you pm me regarding your vps host? i'm considering a move there |

my inventory is full |

and now I have a mese pickaxe |

absurb |
has there been any progress on a proper mob system? |
19:50 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> looks at mobkit |
19:50 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> i would say so |
19:52 |
absurb |
what about bots? |
19:52 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> bots in what context? |
19:52 |
absurb |
does minetest have any plans for fake clients? if not, i suppose i'll have to try implement it myself |
19:53 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> see mtbotter |
19:53 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> or df |
19:53 |
absurb |
the problem with bots (right now) is that people just create entities that look like players, but they aren't players at all |
19:53 |
absurb |
this makes means they don't obey the same game rules as real players, and mods will sometimes not recognize bots as players |
19:54 |
absurb |
server-side fake clients solves this issue entirely, and would be exceptionally useful for people playing with AI, such as symbolic artificial intelligence and deep learning shenanigans |
19:55 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> some mods make fake players to force load areas with automation |
19:55 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> i believe digtron does this |
19:55 |
absurb |
oh! |
19:55 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> however from experience i can tell you it isnt the most reliable |
19:55 |
absurb |
can you elaborate what "df" is? |
19:56 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> well, assume im going to get yelled at, but dragonfire, aka the current "hacked" client for minetest |
19:56 |
absurb |
oh right |
19:56 |
absurb |
yeah, fair enough |
19:57 |
absurb |
ideally i'd like to avoid REAL clients, because they're not very performant |
19:57 |
absurb |
but looking at the MT code, i don't see any support for fake clients, and i can't find anybody suggesting it or anything |
19:58 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> im not sure about mtbotter, but i believe it striped graphical output out |
19:59 |
absurb |
mtbotter may be my best option for now, although i'm definitely dreading the memory and CPU overhead |
19:59 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> as a client it should only use one or two threads? since it isnt doing its own mapgen |
20:00 |
hlqkj |
sorry, maybe someone could help: i'm getting a ton of these, any clue what does it mean and/or how to track what the problem is? |
20:00 |
hlqkj |
WARNING[Server]: active block modifiers took 226ms (processed 117 of 121 active blocks) |
20:00 |
absurb |
the problem is that it's keeping a duplicate of the game world in memory, which is acceptable if there's only 1 bot, but if i wanted to run up to 16 bots, this would become a real concern |
20:00 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> and yeah, i would hope mtbotter strips out saving textures in memory |
20:01 |
absurb |
that said, when i say "world" i mean entities and such, not just nodes |
20:01 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> hlqky: it means a game/mods using a abm took longer than expected |
20:01 |
absurb |
i think fake clients should be something to consider adding. real clients pose a real concerns obviously since you can make them join any server, whether the server likes it or not, whereas this isn't a concern for fake clients |
20:02 |
hlqkj |
ok, that's in line with my guess. but, any way to know which one? skipping the usual advice like "disable all mods and enable one at time" ? |
20:03 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> if your on linux grep in your mods dir for minetest.register_abm or whatever it is, and then disable those one at a time |
20:04 |
sfan5 |
I think the profiler can timekeep ABMs |
20:04 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> if you have some technical experience you can read the code to see what it does and take some more off that list |
20:04 |
|
proller joined #minetest |
20:04 |
hlqkj |
the profiler can, i tried that, but dunno how to use that info to know which one is generating the warning |
20:05 |
hlqkj |
no way to have the engine yelling which ABM caused it to print that warning? |
20:06 |
sfan5 |
that wouldn't be very useful, the warning occurrs as soon as more than 200ms(?) is taken for ABMs |
20:06 |
sfan5 |
it would tell you which abm moves the time taken from 190 to 200, but you'd want to know which mod contributed the most to those 200ms |
20:07 |
sfan5 |
if you have the info from the profiler you can look at which ABMs take the most time |
20:07 |
hlqkj |
gotcha |
