05:50 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> It happens mostly on mobile devices since those put the game "to sleep" while in the background...now my guess is that MT actually still receives packets during that state and if the user switches back to the MT app it plays everything back at once
05:53 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> But on mobile you disconnect ~ 30 seconds after you switched to another app and put MT into the background so the "playback length" is very short

06:30 BrBridge_ <i​ndependent56> i dont understand what Ks signals are better for. why should i use them? to me, they are as ugly as sin, and i feel that i should just use regular ones.

07:36 MTDiscord <y5nw> independent56: IRL Ks signals can be used as the main signal and as a distant signal, hence the German name "Kombinationssignal" (combination signal)
07:37 MTDiscord <y5nw> independent56: also it is (correct me if I'm wrong) also introduced to unify the different signaling systems used in Germany
07:40 TC01 joined #minetest
07:43 MTDiscord <y5nw> Btw, the Ks signal in-game is not totally accurate in that the yellow light in the middle is used for "proceed with speed restriction of 6" instead of "expect stop at the next signal" (actually using m/s instead of 10km/h is also not really compliant to RL signals, but that's possibly done to avoid headache)
07:55 FeXoR joined #minetest
08:00 ShadowNinja joined #minetest
08:19 MTDiscord <MNH48> I think that's mostly because m/s is easier to understand in game and less technical ... the actual speed unit is "nodes per second" and we always count 1 node long as 1m long
08:20 MTDiscord <MNH48> eg, it's used in config example https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/673c29f7ea6735c15596a118fe7e6100d4a466e0/minetest.conf.example#L1451

16:28 MTDiscord <Conradish006> Interesting. For me, it does take quite a while, I went AFK once for over five hours and it took a good ten minutes to "play" everything back. Probably mostly because of the lag.
16:34 MTDiscord <Kimapr> afaik the actual actual unit is mapblocks per second... (are replies properly relayed?)

17:37 BrBridge <r​ubenwardy> what are you talking about?
17:37 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> but im sure there is a benifit
17:37 BrBridge <r​ubenwardy> is this a mod?
17:37 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> avdtrains
17:38 Krock !mod advtrains
17:38 MinetestBot Krock: Advanced Trains [advtrains] by orwell - https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=14726 - https://github.com/h-v-smacker/advtrains_granite
17:38 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> *advtrains, the laggy mod for realistic trains
17:39 hlqkj Ks signals can also set a speed limit on thrains, normal signals can't
17:39 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> oh wow! /srs
17:40 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> yeah, despite their uglyness, i will use them for new sections of [interlocked] track.
17:40 hlqkj they can also be used for shunting signalling, but that is something i still need to learn
17:42 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> me too. i ahve never needed to sue shunting. just a small siding and regular mode is enough
17:42 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> and the mast wich can be made taller is always good, especially in eleveted tracks
17:43 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> if i was'nt so lazy, i would change the texture to be less fugly.

18:40 bwarden joined #minetest
18:42 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> main question: can i just make one long one, and the interpreter tries to find the given routing code within the train's one? example: train "S-RE-UY", signal ARS "RC S-RE"? will this take the train down the signal ARS?

20:06 MTDiscord <gpcf> bad bot
20:08 MTDiscord <y5nw> independent56: Ks signals are mainly taken from RL, where they are (IMO) more useful than in-game
20:08 MTDiscord <gpcf> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/749727888659447960/846842267951038484/400px-Ks-Mehrabschnittssignal.png
20:08 MTDiscord <gpcf> here, look at the beauty of ks signals
20:10 MTDiscord <y5nw> independent56: btw, as I currently live near Heidelberg during the holiday I can take a photo of a tram signal tomorrow to compare with a Ks signal
20:10 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> wow! no ugly blue pole! just pure, confusing, german engineering!
20:11 MTDiscord <gpcf> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/749727888659447960/846842983688306719/450px-German_railway_hl_signal.png
20:12 MTDiscord <gpcf> or do you prefer its commie father, the Hl Signal?
20:12 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.railsigns.uk%2Fphotos%2Fp_route2%2Fpic_plji5.jpg&amp;f=1&amp;nofb=1
20:12 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> british signals sometimes have route indicators, showing wich way trains go
20:12 MTDiscord <y5nw> independent56: how much information do British signals show in comparison to Ks signals though?
20:13 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> maybe i should submit an email-issue for these
20:13 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> BrBridge: not much. pure minimalisim
20:13 MTDiscord <y5nw> You should probably write a mod that adds British signals
20:13 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> but im used to that
20:14 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> i dont wish to add to the mineest community, after how it treated me TBH.
20:15 MTDiscord <y5nw> Well yeah, if you don't want to do it yourself and are dependent on others to do it then you are dependent on others to implement it based on their own interests
20:15 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> and sure, ks signals are "better". but remeber - the uk gets by just fine with it's signals. need an excuse for simplicity? ask us!
20:15 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> hmm
20:15 MTDiscord <gpcf> the UK's rail is a joke
20:15 MTDiscord <gpcf> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/749727888659447960/846844022933028894/800px-S-Bahn_Rostock_push-pull-train.png
20:15 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> british rail takes you where you need to be. thats all that matters for us.
20:16 MTDiscord <gpcf> these trains would be taken out by the first bridge they'd encounter
20:16 MTDiscord <gpcf> the only double-deck train you tried was a sardine can
20:16 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> XD
20:17 MTDiscord <gpcf> also, british rail no longer exists, so it can't take you anywhere
20:17 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> we dont need double-decker. just transport
20:17 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> unlike europe, our island is relitively small. and why would we ever retrofit our aincent bridges?
20:18 MTDiscord <y5nw> independent56: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinkansen
20:19 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> why spend millions making new infastructure when you can spend a few million on carbon tax and use roads?
20:20 MTDiscord <gpcf> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ6PqpCbsLE
20:20 MTDiscord <gpcf> also, you have this "nice" spot-welding electrification system
20:20 MTDiscord <y5nw> Anyway, we should get back to talking about advtrains
20:20 MTDiscord <y5nw> (and MT in general)
20:20 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> yeah... er... routing code ARS interlocking backbench what?
20:21 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> obvs /j
20:22 MTDiscord <y5nw> Anyway, it would be nice to have the type of tram tracks that are "embedded" into the road
20:23 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> just use level crossings?
20:24 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> or maybe make an alias of normal tracks without the wood sleeping things
20:24 MTDiscord <y5nw> Except the level crossings are not particularly ... intuitive
20:24 Panquesito7 joined #minetest
20:26 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> as i said, level crossings or no wood sleeping things.
20:29 MTDiscord <y5nw> Advtrains lacks a mechanism for aliasing tracks for such cases :\
20:30 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> make one >:->
20:31 MTDiscord <y5nw> If I can finish the existing things in advtrains that I am working on, yes
20:31 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> add more >:->
20:32 MTDiscord <y5nw> Well yeah, I need to first finish the things I'm already working on (and prioritize) right now (mostly the HUD and l10n changes), and then work on things that I have not started yet or consider less important
20:33 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> how would you go about using ars rules to match an routecode of "junction station"? would you just do summat like "junction-station station-junction junction-mainline"? how would i use a routecode of "junction station junction mainline"? would i just do "RC junction station"? or is it more complex?
20:33 MTDiscord <y5nw> The routingcode should not contain spaces
20:34 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> 0_0 i thought it was a single routecode?
20:34 MTDiscord <y5nw> Currently there is no official support for matching multiple RCs at a time, but you can do it by e.g. specifying them separated with spaces
20:35 MTDiscord <y5nw> That does mean that the RCs on the train would need to be written such that they match with string.find (IIRC)
20:35 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> hmm... what if i have a specific route around a strange maze-like track? do i have to put the entire routecode in?
20:36 MTDiscord <y5nw> I didn't quite understand that
20:36 napoli joined #minetest
20:36 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> https://pastebin.com/76LcL4Zm
20:37 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> this is my plan, taken from my journal-notebook
20:39 MTDiscord <y5nw> I am not sure what you are asking right now. Are you asking about how to match multiple routing codes (and does the order matter?)
20:39 MTDiscord <y5nw> Btw: http://git.bananach.space/advtrains.git/tree/advtrains_interlocking/ars.lua
20:41 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> im just asking that i have train at point A. then, i want to take it to point C, then B. what is the reccomended way to do this using routingcodes?
20:41 MTDiscord <y5nw> I would suggest just assigning a line number to that route
20:44 MTDiscord <y5nw> Or, if you want to do it with RCs, and assuming that A connects to either B or C in that particular direction departing from A (e.g. a station), then you can use "A B" or "A C", but with the limitation that the RCs has to be written in that particular order and with the same number of spaces
20:45 MTDiscord <y5nw> And if you write "A B A C" then you end up being short-circuited to the first route that matches "A B" or "A C"
20:47 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> hmm
20:47 BrBridge <i​ndependent56> i will need tp learn the system much more deeply.
20:53 BrBridge <G​ustavo6046> Is TenPlus1 there?

20:54 BrBridge <G​ustavo6046> maybe he stood at freenode?
20:54 Gustavo6046 nope

21:00 BrBridge <G​ustavo6046> what?
21:00 MTDiscord <wwar> you cant see the screenshot i sent?
21:01 BrBridge <G​ustavo6046> 2b2t was born in around 2010 iirc, before Minecraft had its official 1.0 release
21:01 BrBridge <G​ustavo6046> is that the actual minecraft 2b2t or?
21:01 BrBridge <G​ustavo6046> because 2b2t's address is 2b2t.org
21:01 MTDiscord <wwar> no its minetest
21:01 BrBridge <G​ustavo6046> ah okay
21:01 MTDiscord <wwar> if you can see the scroonshot i sent, it says the server is up for 50 years
21:01 BrBridge <G​ustavo6046> well mineclone2 isn't minecraft
