03:51 tf2ftw    dumb question but how can i require a lua file within a sub folder?
05:59 Hawk777   tf2ftw: require("foo/bar") works for me
10:47 BigBear   hello folks
10:49 BigBear   i joined to ask opinion, i am doing some mods, and using schematics - specifically schematics specificied in source lua as oppossed to binary files. (I checked the cpp src and it looks fine to me).
10:50 BigBear   but when i did a quick nosy around a bunch of other mods, i noticed that schematics are surprisingly rare, especically lua defined ones.
10:51 BigBear   what i was wondering is - is there some reason for this? like there is some big downside that i cant see for myself? I decided that lua specified is better from a code-maintenance perspective, and i don't believe the load performance difference will not matter much.
10:59 sfan5     what do other mods use to place stuff then?
11:01 MTDiscord <sivarajan> heya
11:01 MTDiscord <sivarajan> i got doubts
11:02 MTDiscord <sivarajan> How do i make map image using minetest mapeper using local sqllite map save from server
11:03 sfan5     download minetestmapper and run it providing the world path and image path
11:03 MTDiscord <sivarajan> i just have the sqllite of map not the world.mt file
11:04 sfan5     that shouldn't be a problem
11:04 MTDiscord <sivarajan> oh!
11:05 MTDiscord <sivarajan> it says Exception: Failed to open world.mt
11:06 MTDiscord <sivarajan> the command tht i ran
11:06 MTDiscord <sivarajan> minetestmapper -i ~/.minetest/worlds/server_37.46.208.34_30000 -o ~/map.png
11:07 sfan5     try creating an empty one
11:07 sfan5     or write "backend = sqlite3" in there
11:10 MTDiscord <sivarajan> thank you @sfan5
11:29 BigBear   they just seem to be placing individual nodes or whatever. Maybe its just the mods i am looking at..
