Because I could really use it 02:20 MTDiscord There's no guaranteed way to detect. You can check for the jump control being pressed, and if you want to catch only successful jumps, you can check for them actually having left the ground. 02:20 Pexin falling, ascending, or the specific moment when they push jump? 02:20 TechDude umm falling I guess 02:21 MTDiscord All player movement happens client-side, so a big lag-spike and you could miss arbitrarily large sections of it. 02:21 TechDude when the player who jumps touches a node with the bottom of their feet - argh this is annoying 02:21 TechDude umm one sec lemme check 02:22 MTDiscord So like a pressure plate triggering kinda thing? That's not so bad if you're okay with it triggering if they walk onto it too 02:22 MTDiscord Or if you're okay with a little uncertainty, I guess. 02:23 Pexin on_step = function(self, dtime, moveresult) 02:23 TechDude I’d like only jump I’m thinking 02:23 MTDiscord players don't have an on_step, and thus don't have a moveresult, do they? IIRC that was only for ents. 02:24 Pexin dang 02:24 MTDiscord The only way I can think of it is to watch the velocity of each player on globalstep, and keep track of which players are "falling" by a certain minimum speed. Then, check if the player's feet are touching the thing, and if they are, make sure they're either falling, or were falling the previous tick. 02:25 TechDude Mmm I’ll try this out 02:25 TechDude hey specing 02:25 Pexin it may be useful to see how the ...uh, scaffolding mod? i dont know what it's called. how that works 02:25 Pexin construction crane 02:26 Pexin probably that only checks player position though, just a thought. 02:46 TechDude Argh 03:07 search_social Hello, I am trying to run minetest on windows 10, it worked fine before, but now nothing happens when I double-click the app. I tried opening a powershell and running bin/minetest, the command instantly completes with no output. I tried running bin/mintest --garbage and it prints normal usage information. I tried running bin/minetest --verbose and it also exits instantly with no output. 10:33 MTDiscord cursed minetest 10:33 MTDiscord https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/749727888659447960/830752287050694676/unknown.png 11:04 sfan5 search_social: which version worked before and which doesn't work now? 11:05 sfan5 I think we've had this problem before though, did you check if Windows Defender is somehow interfering? 11:30 MiniontobyPI hi 11:31 MiniontobyPI how to overwrite settings from an block? 11:33 MiniontobyPI i want to edit the node drops 11:55 MiniontobyPI and how to get all drops in the game (including drop less register_node blocks?) 13:39 calcul0n__ MiniontobyPI, you can use minetest.override_item(name, redefinition) 13:39 calcul0n__ where redefinition is a node def with only the fields that you want to change 13:41 calcul0n__ and i don't know about node drops, iirc it's complicated because there are many ways to handle them 15:11 MinetestBot 02[git] 04sfan5 -> 03minetest/minetest: Buildbot changes to allow out-of-tree builds (#11180) 134d0fef8 https://git.io/JOILJ (152021-04-11T15:10:06Z) 15:11 MinetestBot 02[git] 04Wuzzy2 -> 03minetest/minetest: Modifying fall damage via armor group (#11080) 134b8209d https://git.io/JOILU (152021-04-11T15:09:37Z) 17:00 aieiebrazof9 i'm an ordinary beginner who, in search of something, searched everywhere (wiki, forums etc..): trying various mods, modifying lua files, using parts of one together with parts of another. in the end, to my enormous satisfaction (since i don't have the slightest idea of programming!), i succeeded (after many hours!). and i want to share it with 17:00 aieiebrazof9 everyone! 17:00 aieiebrazof9 i've created a very simple mod that generates an air-only world with a single level (at 0) of obsidian (editable, of course). at first it seems stuck, but that's because it has to load that level. and the starting point is exactly 0, 0, 0. wait for exit the world the first time (for loading some chunks). the use the folder number 2, for keep the 17:00 aieiebrazof9 world conditions. i make another little mod also: i called "obsidian skyblock". its an another singlenode with a obsidian block at 0, 0, 0. after exit the first time, like the other, use folder 2. sorry if its so cumbersome! and sorry for my english! after all this, i want to thank perttu from the bottom of my heart for creating this wonderful game 17:00 aieiebrazof9 and making it free. and i also thank the countless players who continue to expand it day after day just out of passion. this is the link: leopard.hosting.pecon.us/dl/mttsk 17:01 sfan5 you might want to post it on the forums too 17:05 specing hmm, why only 1 node floor of obsidian? 17:06 aieiebrazof9 its not a "professional" work..i made just because i prefer to create world from scratch..thats why i love crafting in creative way..i never play online, because im a lone wolf! but i must thank to all the people who make this masterpiece possible for free and with almost unlimited possibility... 17:06 MTDiscord hmmm why is everyone a bot here... 17:07 aieiebrazof9 im not a bot, im human! :) 17:07 MTDiscord same lol 17:08 MTDiscord its a bot relaying messages from irc 17:09 MTDiscord ohhh ok.. 17:10 aieiebrazof9 im just here for share my beginner hard work of almost half day!! see up for more explanations. leopard.hosting.pecon.us/dl/mttsk 17:12 SX "im not a bot, im human! :)" - every bot I've seen always tries to tell that :p 17:12 MTDiscord lol 17:12 MTDiscord XD 17:14 aieiebrazof9 sorry, i made a mistake. its the first time here :D 17:15 aieiebrazof9 anyway im real a human. also because i make mistakes! 17:15 MTDiscord AI's do too lmao 17:17 aieiebrazof9 a bot made mods by itself? without someone who stay on a tablet for hours closed in his home? 17:19 MTDiscord possible yes lmao 17:21 aieiebrazof9 however im going to eat. in italy its dinner time. this is the link to my tiny mods: leopard.hosting.pecon.us/dl/mttsk. thanks to the Creator of game and to all the real modders. im just a newbie! bye :) 22:23 Nav|C Why does minetest say it is wrong irrlicht when I literly just built it from source 22:32 MTDiscord You must use the custom irrlicht 22:32 MTDiscord https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht 22:33 MTDiscord sudo make install it, I believe 22:40 Nav|C I did... thats what I said 23:47 MTDiscord 5.4 and earlier require regular irrlicht, 5.5 and newer require MTified irrlicht.
