18:17 beanzilla   How can I get an itemstring from a `minetest.get_meta(pos)`?
18:18 beanzilla   Could I just do some call like `meta:get_string("name")`?
18:24 AntumDeluge beanzilla, I'm not really the one to answer that question (so you should probably wait for someone with knowledge about it), but I just tested it on a node & it seems like that is not what you want. "name" doesn't seem to be set by default (at least for nodes).
18:25 MTDiscord   <Jonathon> If you have pos, get the node itself, then get the name from that, then do ItemStack(name)
18:25 beanzilla   AntumDeluge, Ok thank you for the input.
18:25 calcul0n__  yep, i don't think you can get the node infos if you only have the meta
18:26 AntumDeluge Jonathon, how do you "get the node itself" from pos? (trying to look it up now)
18:26 * beanzilla bangs more on the keyboard to get the node then convert to itemstack.
18:27 AntumDeluge Ah, simple: minetest.get_node(pos)
18:28 Hawk777     This plan is going to run into problems for nodes that don’t drop themselves as items, isn’t it? Though I guess it depends on what your intent is.
18:29 AntumDeluge So it should be minetest.get_node(pos):get_name()
18:29 beanzilla   I am modifying Technic's Fuel Fired Generators so they consume only plants (Bioreactor)
18:30 AntumDeluge Hmmm, didn't work: "attempt to call method 'get_name' (a nil value)"
18:30 MTDiscord   <Jonathon> Or get_node_or_nil
18:30 AntumDeluge Oh, that's because I was looking at ItemStack definition, not node. I guess node doesn't have "get_name()" method.
18:31 AntumDeluge Sorry I couldn't be more help.
18:31 beanzilla   AntumDeluge, Or you could just access the table like minetest.get_node does.
18:32 beanzilla   AntumDeluge, It's ok you helped me get closer.
18:50 beanzilla   I am confused... How does a furnace get the time an item burns for?
18:52 beanzilla   Is it by flammable? Or is there some extra definition to the item? (I'm looking at coal to see how it compares to things like saplings)
19:00 beanzilla   Hmm... well I guess I don't need to bother making a bioreactor since the Technic Fuel-Fired Generator can burn items of plant like.
19:00 * beanzilla continues to bable into insanity.
19:03 calcul0n    beanzilla, fuel items are registered with minetest.register_craft() and type="fuel"
19:04 calcul0n    see https://minetest.gitlab.io/minetest/definition-tables/#furnace-fuel
19:04 beanzilla   Ah ha... Thank you very much calcul0n.
21:23 AntumDeluge Can I prevent a formspec from closing after "Enter" key is pressed while a text input field has focus? I tried setting "fields.quit = false" in "on_receive_fields", but it doesn't work.
21:24 sfan5       on_receive_fields runs on the server after the client has already closed the window, even if you could do that it would be too late
21:24 sfan5       but yes there's a way to do this, you need to specify this in the formspec
21:25 AntumDeluge In a meta key?
21:25 sfan5       no
21:25 sfan5       !api
21:25 MinetestBot Someone thinks you should read the API docs, please go to: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt
21:25 sfan5       search for field_close_on_enter
21:26 MTDiscord   <Jonathon> https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L2422-L2427
21:28 AntumDeluge Perfect! Thank you.
21:32 MTDiscord   <Jonathon> hmm, i could have used discord minetest bot to get that faster
21:52 Menchers    gyah, why is there a DOS formatted file in irrlichtmt
21:53 sfan5       a? all of them have Windows line endings
21:53 sfan5       it's a pain
21:54 Menchers    maybe *that* is why these patches didn't apply
22:01 Menchers    I think my main problem is how it's looking for <linux/joystick.h>
22:01 Menchers    there are systems that aren't linux irrlicht!
22:03 Menchers    hmm the patch to source/Irrlicht/Makefile would have been what fixes this
22:04 Menchers    but of course that's been stripped out and replaced with… CMake
22:04 Menchers    urgh
22:07 * Menchers  must do a lot more therapeutic griping, then learn CMake again
22:33 AntumDeluge Any ideas why '/revoke <player> server' isn't working for me?
22:34 hlqkj       is that player the one listed as the admin in minetest.config?
22:34 AntumDeluge I don't think so, but I will check.
22:35 hlqkj       *.conf  -- my bad lol
22:35 AntumDeluge No, I have "name = server" in minetest.conf. The actual name "server" should affect it, right?
22:35 AntumDeluge It says the priv has been revoked, but calling '/priv <player' shows they still have it.
22:35 AntumDeluge *shouldn't affect it....
22:36 AntumDeluge Oh, I just realized "name" is name of person that last logged on...
22:49 Nav|C       Does make replace the bin/minetestserver if the built is unsuccsesful? is there some way I can see if a built is succsesful? I have automatic updates via cron
22:50 Hawk777     Make’s exit code should be nonzero on a failed build (of anything; I assume Minetest follows that convention).
22:51 Nav|C       so like make -j8 && succsessful build commands here || unsuccsessful build commands here
22:51 Hawk777     yeah
22:52 Hawk777     As to whether it replaces its output on failure, probably not in most cases, but if the error happens during linking, it might delete the output file.
22:58 Nav|C       Well thanks
