03:40 Extex       In which file in default are the ABMs registered?
03:47 rubenwardy  Try searching for register_abm
03:47 rubenwardy  Good code editors allow searching for text in a project
08:34 Krock       is there any formspec library that allows container-based tiling?
08:34 Krock       like CSS float and flexbox container fitting
12:49 jonadab     Does anybody use minetestmapper and *not* get the warning about the image size exceeding 4096 pixels?  Does anybody see that message and think "Oh, no, if it's going to be THAT big, I don't want to do it after all"?
12:51 rubenwardy  You should do it in section, preferably for leaflet.js
12:52 rubenwardy  One of the tools supports generating for leaflet, I forget how to do it though
12:52 rubenwardy  You can also do annotations with leaflet, which is cool
12:58 sfan5       idk what sizes you get
12:59 sfan5       but if you see the warning message say 30623x500 you know it's not what you want
14:04 DUMdum      Hey I play on mobile I have a problem playing single player world it seems slow and laggy once it loads  if someone knows why i play on mobile could it be my device ov minetest version
14:10 specing     > I play on mobile
14:10 specing     There's your problem
14:11 DUMdum      It didn't always do it maybe minetest version?
14:13 sfan5       do you have the latest one?
14:14 DUMdum      I think so for mobile I downloaded from play store there's been no updates there
14:15 Krock       yes, there's a few issues - one regarding slow storage reads, and another for obscure networking issues
14:15 rubenwardy  well, pipeworks has foiled my plans

14:15 MinetestBot rubenwardy: Not possible to drop item downwards (#54) · Issues · Vanessa Dannenberg / pipeworks · GitLab
14:15 Krock       rubenwardy: drop it sideways?
14:15 Krock       but yeah.. that's ironic
14:18 rubenwardy  yeah, sideways works
14:19 rubenwardy  ok so now it's coming out backwards
14:19 Krock       õ.õ
14:19 MTDiscord   <Warr1024> File an issue to allow rails to be placed on walls and carts to be allowed to run sideways, as long as the curve is sharp enough :-D
14:20 Krock       is 90° sharp enough?
14:20 MTDiscord   <Warr1024> I guess it'll have to be since I suppose that's the only kind of "curve" we have, huh...
14:20 rubenwardy  adding a pipe on the other end stops it from going that way
14:23 rubenwardy  what full block nodes conduct mesecons?
14:23 rubenwardy  just the lights?
14:28 rubenwardy  argh, the carts aren't capturing it
14:28 rubenwardy  I guess because it's not centered
14:28 Krock       there's a pick-up radius
14:29 Krock       however, the cart must be punched
14:29 Krock       on_punch() would suffice
14:29 rubenwardy  grrr
14:29 Krock       pickup radius of 1 node
14:29 rubenwardy  carts have an open top, they should just collect items that fall in them
14:30 sfan5       there's lots of things MTG carts should do but don't
14:30 rubenwardy  I'm using boost cart
14:30 Krock       literally the same garbage
14:30 Krock       :D
14:30 Krock       stupid modders
14:32 rubenwardy  punching doesn't work either
14:32 rubenwardy  item is still on the floor
14:32 DS_         rubenwardy: have you tried using a one-way tube?
14:33 Krock       hmm that's kinda weird https://github.com/SmallJoker/boost_cart/blob/master/cart_entity.lua#L347-L364
14:33 DS_         (one-way then regular => item can't go back and will be dropped)
14:34 rubenwardy  doesn't work, it goes back on itself
14:34 Krock       what happens if you put two one-way tubes in series, but opposite direction?
14:34 Krock       infinite item movement energy?
14:35 rubenwardy  it bounces back from the first
14:35 erlehmann   hopper cart when
14:35 rubenwardy  =>|<=       gets to | then reverses
14:35 VanessaE    someone needs to fork pipeworks and take it over btw :P
14:36 VanessaE    nore's the only one who knows most of its code and he's not working on it these days
14:36 Krock       oh!
14:36 Krock       the physics must be enabled to pick up
14:37 Krock       bug
14:37 Krock       I wonder why I added this explicit check
14:38 DS_         oh no, my pipeworks tubes are suddenly chinese, I think
14:38 nore        hello
14:38 nore        what's happening? :)
14:38 Krock       hell's burning
14:40 nore        rubenwardy: IIRC if you add a tube with only one connection, it drops the item?
14:40 rubenwardy  no, it bounces back?
14:40 nore        hmmmm
14:40 nore        it was changed at some point then
14:41 DS_         there needs to be a tube after the one-way
14:42 nore        hmmmm
14:42 rubenwardy  ok that works, DS_
14:42 nore        the deployer just calls minetest.item_place
14:42 rubenwardy  I'm not using deployers
14:42 Krock       _._   when a dropped item is attached without disabling the physics: Collision info missing, this is caused by an out-of-date/buggy mod or game
14:43 Krock       thanks for that, builtin.
14:43 DS_         and rotate the one-way with a screwdriver, btw
14:43 nore        oops, the its minetest.item_drop

14:47 Krock       hi nore  :)
14:47 nore        hello ^^
14:47 Krock       rubenwardy: does this fix the pick up issue? https://krock-works.uk.to/u/patches/boost_cart_fix.diff
14:50 rubenwardy  yes!
14:50 rubenwardy  it works now]
14:50 rubenwardy  thanks
14:50 Krock       great. will push that soon-ish
14:52 rubenwardy  https://rwdy.uk/327DP.png
14:52 nore        nice!
14:53 DS_         Ah, I think I know now what I've messed up to get asian tubes.
14:56 rubenwardy  I could use a start/stop track which also has a detector rail
14:57 rubenwardy  I guess I'll have to use a Lua controller or some form of memory to keep track of queued carts
14:58 nore        what are you trying to build?
14:58 VanessaE    they're building a doomsday device :P
14:59 rubenwardy  I'm making a cart resource transport system
15:00 rubenwardy  so I want multiple carts on the same track taking items between two places
15:00 nore        I see, seems fun
15:00 rubenwardy  the idea is you'd put this on a shared rail track with players, like how freight and passengers are mixed
15:00 rubenwardy  and it would be cheaper than tubes for long distance
15:00 rubenwardy  although maybe not
15:00 DS_         aren't tubes super cheap?
15:00 specing     teleport tubes
15:00 rubenwardy  but it's cooler than tubes for long distance
15:00 specing     yeah, tubes are free
15:00 rubenwardy  teleport tubes are hacky
15:00 nore        hmmmm, tubes are cheap, not that sure about rails
15:01 specing     but you don't want tubes because entities and losing them
15:01 nore        but it's cooler and probably faster indeed
15:01 rubenwardy  well, in my mind rail should be cheaper
15:01 DS_         tubes are just burnt leaves while rails need steel
15:01 nore        items are not entities (tm)
15:01 rubenwardy  players can use rail though, and not tubes
15:01 rubenwardy  so you're reusing existing rail
15:01 nore        items in tubes are fake entities, which load the world around them
15:02 rubenwardy  what I need to be able to do is detect whether a cart is a freight cart or not, and then control switches
15:02 DS_         hm, using existing infrastructure makes sense, and sounds fun
15:02 nore        hmmm, are there different types of carts or something like that?
15:02 rubenwardy  also, conveyor builts would be good for factories rather than tubes
15:03 rubenwardy  stylistically
15:03 nore        yeah
15:03 DS_         I know of at least 2 mods that add conveyors
15:04 DS_         (factory and this one: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=7350)
15:10 rubenwardy  https://rwdy.uk/h33eJ.mp4
15:11 DS_         nice
15:15 Hawk777     Regarding carts, rather than detecting what kind of cart is on the track, why not just remember it? Keep a record in the control system of the destination of the cart in each region of track (“block” in the railway sense, the space between two signals with only one vehicle in it, not in the mapblock sense). Inject that information into the system at the starting point (e.g. if the cart comes from the freight loading station at
15:15 Hawk777     mine, it must be a freight cart going to the freight loading station at the ore processing plant). As the carts move down the track, they cross detectors that indicate when they move from one block to the next, and you shift the recorded destination along with them. As a cart approaches a switch, set the switch based on the recorded destination for that cart.
15:15 Hawk777     For passenger carts, you could have a computer terminal at each passenger station with a list of other passenger stations; the passenger can choose their destination and then that populates the database.
15:18 rubenwardy  I guess digilines would allow wireless communication / shared state?
15:19 nore        yep
15:19 Hawk777     Yeah, you could either have a single control centre that knows the state of the whole network, and all the information feeds into them, or you could have computers (luacontrollers?) in each block that just handle that block and communicate with neighbouring blocks to pass along information.
15:20 nore        but this would be fragile, a single added cart by an user on the tracks could break it down I think
15:20 Hawk777     Yes, you’d want to fence off the tracks so that people only join and leave at proper stations.
15:20 rubenwardy  well, you could track user carts as unknown and lock the sections
15:21 Hawk777     That too—once a cart crosses a detector from a block that wasn’t supposed to contain one, you at least know there’s some kind of unknown traffic there; once it crosses two detectors you know which direction it’s going.
15:21 rubenwardy  so, is there a way to determine which way carts go?
15:21 rubenwardy  worst case, it's a job for pistons
15:21 Hawk777     You mean forward versus backward, or how to make switches?
15:21 rubenwardy  as in left vs right
15:21 rubenwardy  on the track
15:21 nore        yeah, but if a user cart is added in the middle of a track where a cargo cart is going, I think it would break it
15:21 Hawk777     Yes, of course it would. People shouldn’t do that though :)
15:21 Hawk777     Hence fencing.
15:21 rubenwardy  player carts use arrows to navigate junctions
15:22 Hawk777     I think when I tested, pistons didn’t work; a piston broke the track on top. However movestones worked.
15:22 Hawk777     A two-high movestone pit lets you disconnect the track.
15:22 rubenwardy  could use for signals too
15:24 rubenwardy  ok so digilines has no documentation
15:25 Hawk777     My experience is that each Digiline device is documented (not always completely, but usually somewhat) but the system as a whole isn’t—which is fine because there isn’t really anything to document about it, it’s just a pile of wires that connect together.
15:27 DS_         There's https://mesecons.net/digilines.html and https://mesecons.net/luacontroller/ Chapter VIII for players.
15:27 rubenwardy  ah thanks, I was looking at the repo
15:32 rubenwardy  how do I do wireless / shared state with digilines?
15:32 rubenwardy  the key thing is being able to communicate through unloaded blocks, I don't mind _that_ much if I have to have digiline wires
15:33 Pexin       over what kind of distance?  o_O
15:33 DS_         I think digiline and mesecons work through unloaded blocks
15:33 rubenwardy  infinite
15:33 DS_         try making a really long cable with worldedits
15:33 DS_         -s*
15:33 rubenwardy  I'm pretty sure mesecons won't? Doesn't it require changing wires from off to on?
15:33 DS_         I think it loads the blocks
15:34 DS_         I'm not totally sure though
15:34 rubenwardy  https://github.com/minetest-mods/digilines/issues/35
15:34 rubenwardy  > For one, if an intermediate mapblock is unloaded, messages will be lost, even if the effector on the far end is loaded.
15:35 Pexin       how many players are you imagining will use this type of system on the same server?
15:36 rubenwardy  https://github.com/minetest-mods/digilines/pull/36
15:36 rubenwardy  ah
15:36 rubenwardy  Pexin: 1, me
15:36 Pexin       see.. scrolling up, mention of "cheapness" of A vs B, I took to mean cpu-usage
15:38 DS_         how can I //set a node with param2 in worldedit?
15:39 DS_         ahh, //set, then //ort
15:40 DS_         mesecons thorugh unloaded blocks seems to work for me
15:43 sfan5       there's also //param2
15:46 DS_         ah, yes. haven't seen //param2 thx!
15:48 DS_         the moremesecons_wireless wireless doesn't seem to work if the destination is unloaded
15:49 DS_         (or at least if it was never loaded since the game was started)
15:51 Hawk777     rubenwardy: Yes, I did some basic work so it will work over long distances; the issue was left open in case someone wanted to do some more complicated stuff to make it higher-performance, but it should work right now.
15:51 rubenwardy  grrr, paste into a lua controller isn't working
15:51 Hawk777     I’ve found I often have to copy and couple of times before paste works :(
15:51 rubenwardy  tried that
15:51 rubenwardy  I'm using the latest MT and irrmt
15:52 DS_         yesterday I've heard from someone on debian who wasn't able to copy _out_ of minetest (in #minetest-de)
15:53 rubenwardy  well, this completely breaks things

15:53 rubenwardy  it would be call if the mesecons editor could optionally save/load Lua code from the world dir
15:53 rubenwardy  *cool
15:54 rubenwardy  or alternatively, that bug could finally be fixed
15:55 sfan5       well it says "One or more noise parameters were invalid or require too much memory", that's pretty clear to me
15:55 MTDiscord   <MisterE> but which? and How would I find the mod that causes it?
15:55 rubenwardy  huh, I could paste now
15:55 MTDiscord   <MisterE> was it invalid noise params? or memory? and which mod has the problem?
15:56 MTDiscord   <MisterE> if its invalid noise
15:56 rubenwardy  grrr, Lua controllers don't have string.lower
15:56 sfan5       did you update any mods? change any parameters? look at that first
15:56 rubenwardy  oh nevermind
15:57 DS_         yeah, you have to copy and paste at least twice
15:57 sfan5       this *could* also mean that you simply ran out of RAM, the message isn't clear on that
15:59 MTDiscord   <MisterE> I did update mods... but I did not update any which involve mapgen at the surface level, which  is the only place that people were
16:00 MTDiscord   <MisterE> I am running this on a server with 8 gb ram, but running 2 minetestserver instances at once
16:01 sfan5       mods can use noise for any reason unrelated to "mapgen at the surface level"
16:01 sfan5       does this error ocurr right at startup?
16:02 sfan5       if so the verbose log will tell you which mod is running at the time
16:05 MTDiscord   <MisterE> no the error occurs at a random time several minutes after startup
16:09 rubenwardy  I just to express my displeasure that the same key is used for descending and for bypassing right-click
16:10 MTDiscord   <MisterE> yes! rubenwardy, yes!
16:10 MTDiscord   <MisterE> that is exceedingly annoying

16:10 MTDiscord   <MisterE> it happened again
16:11 MTDiscord   <MisterE> I am running 5.5.0-dev, an old version
16:11 MTDiscord   <MisterE> could it be an error in Minetest itself?
16:14 rubenwardy  Are there full block conductors cheaper than meseblocks?
16:14 rubenwardy  say, copper blocks?
16:15 MTDiscord   <MisterE> not without modding... but thats easy to add
16:15 DS_         well, conducting tubes
16:15 DS_         what is important for you, that it has the 6-side connection rules or that it's a solid block?
16:16 DS_         if former, try https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=20769
16:17 ghoti       Is there possibly a bug in basic_machines detectors? In the past they connected directly to mesecon for triggering, so now I've set one on top of a mesecon_adapter .. but the detector does not seem to do anything. I have confirmed the signal from the adapter using a lamp, but are there known issues with detectors?
16:19 rubenwardy  full block meaning a cube
16:20 rubenwardy  also, turns out that triggering the movestone switch too close to a cart causes the cart to fly
16:20 rubenwardy  https://rwdy.uk/n0oOJ.png
16:20 DS_         yeah, carts like to fly like that
16:20 rubenwardy  the start/stop rail is to start and stop carts at the signal, the movestone switch is to stop players ignoring signals
16:21 ghoti       Hrm, did I just post 2 lines here? I got an error from my IRC client suggesting that I did not.
16:21 DS_         there is probably some mod that adds another conducting tube, but I currently don't know any concrete one
16:22 DS_         ghoti: I received 1 messages before the last one
16:22 DS_         -s*
16:23 ghoti       DS_: thanks.
16:23 ghoti       I think what was missed was: My detector is supposed to [1] check for the existence of particular chest inventory, then [2] trigger a sticky piston.
16:29 rubenwardy  oh god, I've just realised I could make a really cool map for this
16:29 rubenwardy  with lights for where carts are
16:32 MTDiscord   <Warr1024> Anyone notice that minetest.rotate_node doesn't call after_place_node?
16:32 Krock       you need to specify that manually
16:33 Krock       there was a case in one of VE's mods where after_place_node() called to rotate_node(), resulting in a stack overflow
16:34 MTDiscord   <Warr1024> what does "specify that manually" mean?  There's nowhere to specify anything...
16:34 MTDiscord   <MisterE> it happened again: 2021-08-14 18:34:04: ERROR[Emerge-0]: An unhandled exception occurred: std::bad_alloc 2021-08-14 18:34:04: ERROR[Emerge-0]: In thread 0xd62ec31440: 2021-08-14 18:34:04: ERROR[Emerge-0]: /home/minetest/minetest4/src/emerge.cpp:2d7: virtual void *EmergeThread::run(): A fatal error occurred: std::bad_alloc
16:35 MTDiscord   <Warr1024> are you saying I need to create a minetest.rotate_node_not_broken() or something?
16:35 Krock       ah sorry, that's for rotate_and_place()
16:35 Krock       rotate_node should really call the callback, yes.
16:35 MTDiscord   <Warr1024> Why don't we just make not_broken the default and VE can use rotate_node_broken in her mods?
16:35 Krock       > hecks for "sneak" to set the `invert_wall`
16:35 Krock       parameter and `prevent_after_place` set to `true`.
16:36 Krock       prevent = true ...uuh. not run.
16:36 sfan5       @MisterE sounds like you're really just running out of RAM
16:36 Krock       idk. there was some discussion a few years ago
16:36 MTDiscord   <MisterE> sfan5: My server has 8 gb!
16:36 MTDiscord   <Warr1024> Yes, prevent is set to true in rotate_node.  It looks like just removing that should make it work...
16:37 MTDiscord   <MisterE> sfan5: would it run out of ram with 8 gb?
16:37 Krock       perhaps
16:37 MTDiscord   <Warr1024> Yeah, testing it, just removing the true fixes it.
16:37 sfan5       that question cannot be answered
16:37 sfan5       there is no fixed value that is "enough", it always depends on the conditions
16:44 MTDiscord   <Warr1024> maybe it should be parameterizable
16:44 MTDiscord   <Warr1024> like on_place = minetest.make_rotate_node(true)
17:20 MTDiscord   <MisterE> sfan5: I just ran the server alone (so there was only one instance of minetestserver running, and I watched $top the whole time... free memory never went below 1.5 gb even when it crashed again
17:22 LX_Noble    Anyone know how to fix this https://ibb.co/XzctbRw?
17:23 LX_Noble    I'm on an intel macbook
17:23 LX_Noble    If i put it in fullscreen it fixes it but then my mouse wont attach when loading a world so I can't look around
17:24 Calinou     you could force the lowDPI fallback by right-clicking the .app, choose Get Info
17:24 Calinou     this will also improve performance by rendering at a lower resolution
17:26 LX_Noble    Awesome, thanks
17:51 rubenwardy  Krock: how easy would it be to have rail switches that can be controlled by mesecons?

18:21 rubenwardy  Signal section with switch and 2 exits
18:35 Krock       rubenwardy: not too difficult. problem is rather that metadata is yet not evaluated for each rail
18:35 Krock       but could be done
18:35 rubenwardy  so, it looks like paste only works if I select the entry in clipman first, then paste twice
18:36 rubenwardy  hmm
19:03 Pexin       rubenwardy: isn't this the same paste problem that irrlicht has always had?
19:03 rubenwardy  it's never been this bad before
19:03 rubenwardy  before I could just paste twice, now I have to fiddle with clipman
19:04 Pexin       are you sure you didnt just forget to ctrl-c ?  I frequently forget because I get accustomed to select autocopying from term
19:06 rubenwardy  I very much did ctrl+c
19:06 rubenwardy  lol
19:08 Pexin       heh. well my problem is copying in term copies, but can only paste by middle click, so to paste by ctrl-v I have to SHIFT-ctrl-c in term. oh well

19:19 Pexin       well it's working ok for me copying from codelite, but I'm using a MT dev from probably 3 weeks ago
19:20 Pexin       also I'm in xubuntu
19:21 Pexin       maybe 6 weeks ago..
19:23 Pexin       nope, 3 weeks. surprisingly accurate.
19:27 luizrpgluiz rubenwardy: hi :)
19:28 luizrpgluiz rubenwardy: could you make sample code of biomes in singlenode mapgen generation?
19:29 luizrpgluiz i am not succeeding in generating biomes in singlenode mapgen
19:29 rubenwardy  singlenode doesn't have biomes
19:29 rubenwardy  it's only a single node
19:30 Pexin       air is a boring node though
19:30 Pexin       not like lava_source
19:31 rubenwardy  diamond is a better boring node
19:32 Pexin       "I CAN DIG THIS" "you don't have a pickaxe" "I CAN DIG THIS" "you'll break your hand" "I CAN DIG THIS"
19:32 luizrpgluiz is that I wanted to do biome generation tests other than v5, v6 and v7
21:43 DS_         argh
21:43 DS_         github removed support for passwords yesterday
22:19 MTDiscord   <IhrFussel> Is anything wrong with this code? I wanna try the new dynamic add media feature with callbacks but the message never appears and the sound also doesn't play https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/nJg5Nb6bBp/
22:23 alguien     Is there a way to run minetest headless? It eats my battery, so I was thinking I would join a with two accounts, one in normal mode, one headless, and then I would leave the headless account to tend to my business in-game after I set everything up for it.
22:26 DS_         IhrFussel: are you sure the server and the client are running a new enough minetest version? also check the return value of the function
22:27 MTDiscord   <IhrFussel> It worked now partly...I just tried with a new file name
22:27 MTDiscord   <IhrFussel> The message appears in the chat but no sound is played
22:28 Sybille     "mymod").."/sounds/sound_" <--- subfolder? ---> sound_play("sound_"..param
22:29 DS_         before you start deeply debugging it, don't forget to check if the sound is loud enough. ie. compare with the sound loaded normally
22:29 MTDiscord   <IhrFussel> That's usually how all my other sounds are defined...if they are inside the mod's sounds dir it's usually enough to just type the file name (without .ogg)
22:32 DS_         Client::loadMedia is where you want to set your breakpoint btw.
22:36 Sybille     usually <--- if you have touble on first time run, maybe better without Variables ".." / name / param ... more HardCoded simplyfy the search of troubles and Subfolder cam maybe work on one Ver/Case on next/other not
22:43 MTDiscord   <IhrFussel> I just tested the code in SP it plays there
22:49 MTDiscord   <IhrFussel> Okay nevermind seems to work
22:49 DS_         now move your cache and try again
22:49 DS_         just to be sure
22:50 DS_         (the media file cache I mean)
22:51 MTDiscord   <IhrFussel> I added the sound multiples times during runtime
22:51 MTDiscord   <IhrFussel> It plays fine now
22:51 MTDiscord   <IhrFussel> I mean I renamed it each time
22:51 DS_         ah, ok
22:52 DS_         what did you do wrong before?
22:52 ghoti       Can anybody help me figure out why basic_machines:detector appears not to be working? I'm using the latest release from git, with the mesecon_adapter, but either I can't trigger the detector, or it can't detect what I've configured.
22:53 DS_         ghoti: I don't know enough about basic_machines, sry. but you could take a look at the source code
22:54 ghoti       I have the detector sitting on top of a mesecons_adapter. I have also tried using a keypad. It is looking for default:cobble in the inventory of a chest, and sending a signal to a sticky piston.
22:54 ghoti       DS_: I have, but alas, I'm not familiar enough with minetest internals to debug, hence the call for help.
22:55 ghoti       A previous version of basic_machines worked, pre mesecon_adapter, but I'm leery of using a known buggy version. I'm hoping someone can just say "Oh ya, you forgot to do this."
22:59 MTDiscord   <IhrFussel> The files just weren't loud enough on the server I guess
