01:11 ericnoan For the love of god, how do I change the GUI language? Windows, latest version (5.4.1)
01:13 ericnoan It defaulted to the language of my keyboard settings, but I would like to have the UI in English
01:13 ericnoan Any ideas?
01:16 Verticen joined #minetest
01:17 Hawk777 Settings → All Settings → Client and Server → Language?
01:18 Hawk777 (untested, just a suggestion)
01:19 ericnoan i found a search function in the settings tab and was able to change it, thanks

02:34 leo_rockway fwiw, I've been using wayland for years with Plasma and Minetest works fine with xwayland. I haven't tried to use just plain wayland.
03:23 ShadowNinja It works under native Wayland with the Irrlicht SDL2 patch and SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland, but rotating the camera doesn't work properly (it rotates continuously because Minetest tries to warp the mouse to the center of the window on each frame and that doesn't work on Wayland).

20:03 MTDiscord <MisterE> is it possible to use minetest 5.5's dynamic media api to make a bridge between it and mumble for positional audio? Can the dynamic media handle very small amounts of audio and work well?
20:03 MTDiscord <MisterE> and rapidly
20:03 rubenwardy no
20:04 rubenwardy there's no unloading of media, and you won't be able to space recordings correctly
20:04 MTDiscord <MisterE> there is unloading of media with ephemeral = true, isnt there
20:04 MTDiscord <MisterE> ?
20:05 MTDiscord <MisterE> well at least, it doesnt stick around for a long time
20:05 sfan5 it doesn't stick on the server
20:05 MTDiscord <MisterE> I guess thats not really "unloading"
20:05 sfan5 but it will on the client
20:05 MTDiscord <MisterE> ok
20:05 sfan5 trust me you don't want to attempt this
20:05 MTDiscord <MisterE> yeah I get it
20:05 MTDiscord <MisterE> I could quickly fill up the client's cache
20:06 MTDiscord <MisterE> right?
20:06 MTDiscord <MisterE> *it
20:06 sfan5 if by cache you mean RAM, yep
20:07 MTDiscord <MisterE> if I wanted to do poistional audo with mumble, the only was is with a csm, like has been done before, right? and then mumble needs to be installed too.
20:08 sfan5 I don't think a CSM would wor
20:08 sfan5 k
20:08 sfan5 you'd basically need support directly in the engine
20:10 MTDiscord <MisterE> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AsHD9h8IE8  It only works becuase mumble supports positional audio, and has an api for it, it just needs a position to work with IIUC
20:11 MTDiscord <MisterE> minetestvideos knows more about it
20:16 v-rob joined #minetest
20:20 erlehmann MisterE where is the mumble CSM?
20:21 MTDiscord <Jonathon> not like its literally the newest csm post on the forums or anything
20:22 MTDiscord <Jonathon> https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=53&amp;t=21586&amp;p=405195#p405195 https://github.com/Elkien3/minetest-mumble-wrapper
20:22 erlehmann thx
20:39 illwieckz joined #minetest
20:56 Yad joined #minetest
20:56 Yad Where does Minetest save the global variables displayed in `All Settings`?
20:57 sfan5 minetest.conf
20:58 rubenwardy About > Open User Data Dir     will open the directory where minetest.conf is
20:59 rubenwardy I think
20:59 Yad sfan5: Yes! Thank you. One step closer to making sense of this. :D
20:59 Yad Is it possible to override those variables on a per-world basis? Mantar suggested world.mt but that doesn't seem to be working.
21:00 rubenwardy depends on the setting but in general not currently
21:00 rubenwardy what you can do is use --config to have a different config when loading each world
21:01 rubenwardy this is from the terminal, it works will with servers but isn't great UX for players/client use
21:01 Yad I'm quite comfortable with the command-line for the time being. :)
21:02 rubenwardy you could create shortcuts for each world
21:02 rubenwardy minetest --username 'singleplayer' --password '' --worldname 'worldname' --config path/to/minetest.conf --go
21:02 rubenwardy or smth
21:03 Yad rubenwardy: I like your thinking. :D
21:03 Yad That would even make my worlds feel like their own games. I could put them on the Xfce Wisker Menu. ^^
21:04 Yad Though that could be a problem since I'm using Minetest via Flatpak.
21:05 Yad I'm not sure how to pass command-line parameters into a Flatpak call.

22:10 Sokomine can someone tell me when (in which mt version?) the diffrent versions of formspecs have been added?
22:11 Yad Sokomine: Hmm, does FormSpec have standardized version numbers?
22:11 rubenwardy yes
22:11 MTDiscord <Jonathon> v1 is 5.0 and below, v2 is 5.1, v3 is 5.2-5.3, v4 is 5.4
22:12 Sokomine it has. but that doesn't tell me how far away historicly version 1 and 2 are and if players can be expected to upgrade to a newer version
22:12 MTDiscord <Jonathon> most mods have just updated to v4
22:12 MTDiscord <Jonathon> see unified inventory, etc
22:12 Sokomine aah. thank you. v1 really looks quite bad with what i'm doing...
22:12 MTDiscord <Jonathon> given you can use fs51 for backwards compat
22:12 MTDiscord <Jonathon> v1 should burn which is annoying cords
22:13 MTDiscord <Jonathon> . s/which/with
22:14 Sokomine i'm just sending formspec[version_nr] as the first line in a recent version and hope that's good enough for testing backwards compatibility
22:14 Sokomine v1 somehow doesn't seem to be able to adjust button height?
22:15 rubenwardy correct
22:16 rubenwardy v1 doesn't support button heights other than 0.86
22:16 rubenwardy or didn't at least, may have been fixed
22:17 Sokomine ah. so people with such an old client will have to live with a certain (huge) ugliness. no way around. the workaround AliasAlreadyTake implemented for older versions is ok for 2.0 (or at least can be adapted). so..5.1 has been around a while i think. it's hard to keep track
22:18 MTDiscord <Jonathon> just use fs51
22:18 rubenwardy 5.1 was October 2019, 2 and quarter years ago
22:19 Sokomine will that help old clients?
22:19 rubenwardy yeah, it's a compatibility layer
22:19 Sokomine ok. so no reason to worry too much about those then
22:19 rubenwardy you don't even need to support fs51, it works automatically
22:20 rubenwardy your mod just needs to send formspec_version and FS51 will intercept for older clients
22:20 rubenwardy ~cdb fs51
22:20 rubenwardy !cdb fs51
22:20 rubenwardy https://content.minetest.net/packages/luk3yx/fs51/
22:20 rubenwardy !help
22:20 MinetestBot https://github.com/sfan5/minetestbot-modules/blob/master/COMMANDS.md
22:20 MTDiscord <Jonathon> lol, irc bot fails massively
22:20 rubenwardy no CDB command, it just supports krock's mod search :fixbug:
22:20 sfan5 !mod fs51
22:20 MinetestBot sfan5: FS51 [fs51] by luk3yx - https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=26399 - https://github.com/luk3yx/minetest-fs51
22:20 sfan5 if you want cdb search send a PR ;)
22:21 Sokomine aah. i really need to catch up reading the forum
22:21 MTDiscord <Jonathon> just uses discord minetestbot instead
22:22 Sokomine ah. scroll containers are broken. so the local workaround in the mod i'm working at is still needed anyway
22:23 celeron55 fs51 is great, the only problem is it puts the engine in a bad light 8)
22:23 MTDiscord <Jonathon> or use formspec_ast + kuto if you dont want to deal with cursed string based design
22:24 Sokomine working with formspecs makes you cry sometimes :-) but at least it works most of the time. changing to something else would mean a huge change for some mods
22:24 rubenwardy formspecs would still be supported for a long time after the new GUI system is added
22:24 Sokomine that's very good to hear
22:24 Yad Also very good to hear that a new GUI system is forthcoming. :D
22:25 MTDiscord <Jonathon> its currently vaporware just like sscsm
22:25 Sokomine in a way, that mod i took from AliasAlreadyTake (talking to npc in an rpg-like point&click adventure style - to some degree) is in the end mostly just a huge pile of formspecs
22:25 rubenwardy "forthcoming" is stretching it
22:25 celeron55 the fair way to put it is... everyone wants it to happen, so we damned hope it will
22:25 Yad rubenwardy: I figured, but the idea that code is already being written, is encouraging. :)
22:25 Sokomine well, at least there's hope that it may eventually become better. can't do all at once
22:26 celeron55 but hope is mostly what there is
22:26 MTDiscord <Jonathon> right now the best solution is to use stuff that compiles down to string based formspecs
22:26 Sokomine at least something. hope for improvement (even if we don't know when) is important
22:27 MTDiscord <Jonathon> still requires it to get through pr hell if its ever finished
22:28 Sokomine socerykid has done a lot regarding formspecs from what i saw on the forum. a lot of that looks very much like what i'd like to have. except that it seems to be its own ecosystem?
22:29 MTDiscord <Jonathon> >formsepc_ast + kuto
22:29 Sokomine ah. could be. don't remember the exact names
22:29 MTDiscord <Jonathon> its not there stuff, luk3yx has done a lot with formspecs and i rather knowledgable about them
22:30 MTDiscord <Jonathon> like https://luk3yx.gitlab.io/minetest-formspec-editor/
22:32 MTDiscord <Jonathon> also if your doing pure text based stuff i recommend using the md to formspec converter
22:32 rubenwardy link?
22:33 Sokomine yes, i've heard about that. in the end i've now settled with hotloading the code for the changed formspecs so that i can develop them without having to constantly restart
22:33 MTDiscord <Jonathon> i have to find the converter for you that you commented on here? common ruben
22:34 MTDiscord <Jonathon> https://content.minetest.net/packages/Just_Visiting/markdown2formspec/
22:34 rubenwardy weird, can't find that on google
22:34 rubenwardy ah, it appears if I remove "converter"

23:17 erlehmann rubenwardy did you know google lies to you? you can search for something like “climate change” and then go to the last page of search results … and it turns out while on the first few pages they often claim to have millions of results, the last page calls the bluff. it is rarely more than 500.
23:18 erlehmann a university library will give you more results for specific queries than google will nowadays
23:18 rubenwardy If I go beyond the first page, then I'm already failing
23:18 rubenwardy also just because they have millions of results doesn't mean they'll give them to you
23:26 appguru joined #minetest
23:29 erlehmann rubenwardy i doubt there is some deliberate conspiracy to keep all the articles about climate change from users lol
23:29 erlehmann i just think they are putting up a potemkin village as they figured out that ppl rarely go to page 19
23:29 Peppy joined #minetest
23:29 detrout joined #minetest
23:30 erlehmann coincidentally, if you go to settings and set number of results to 100 per page, it shows a “suspicious activity” captcha
23:30 erlehmann (100 results per page makes it easy to call the bluff, as some queries only have 2 pages even though the top claims to have millions)
23:33 MTDiscord <savilli> I've heard this conspiracy theory a lot
23:33 MTDiscord <savilli> And how all conspiracy theories it has nothing to do with the truth
23:34 MTDiscord <savilli> Do you have any ideas how google search works?
23:38 sfan5 does anyone?
23:38 MTDiscord <savilli> I do
23:39 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> high page results shows a captcha because scraping bots want more data per search
23:40 MTDiscord <luatic> sfan5: If I send the ephemeral media as a player joins, will it win the rat race and arrive before the client starts loading entities?
23:41 sfan5 of course not
23:41 MTDiscord <luatic> :(
23:41 MTDiscord <luatic> So the media must be added to the media sending process?
23:41 MTDiscord <luatic> That means I must use ephemeral=false?
23:44 sfan5 yes, yes
