Time Nick Message 07:33 SwissalpS hi all :) I'm re-working a tool that holds metadata. Is the metaRef still essentialy stored as a serialized string? 07:34 SwissalpS I'm wondering if I save overhead/memory if I use a number from 1 to 8 rather than a string of max 8 characters 08:37 definitelya awww that's so cute. https://content.minetest.net/packages/Warr1024/nc_cats/ 08:48 GNUHacker lol cats in nodecore 08:48 definitelya You can build on them too. 11:09 sfan5 SwissalpS: it's still strings yes 12:11 MinetestBot 02[git] 04x2048 -> 03minetest/minetest: Reset override material in anaglyph 13b6555ee https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/b6555ee6aff8cd062034a08f1dbfca9c294cb0c6 (152022-01-16T12:10:33Z) 12:11 * GNUHacker build a house with nodecore cats 13:33 gaelysam hi, in my PR #11953 I don't understand why the last commit is causing build checks to fail 13:33 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/11953 -- Add minetest.generate_biomes by Gael-de-Sailly 13:36 MTDiscord "Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':native:lintClassPath'." 13:36 MTDiscord huh, odd 13:37 Krock temporary error 13:38 Krock restarted the job. maybe it'll work? 13:39 Krock different error now. it's broken. ignore it. 13:40 gaelysam okay thanks 13:40 gaelysam so I don't have anything to fix? 13:53 Krock I don't think so, no. 13:54 Krock or rather "yes, there's nothing to fix". double negation sucks 14:47 SwissalpS thanks sfan :) 15:13 independent56 " independent56, save it as a schematic, thank me later" Thank you. 15:13 independent56 :p 15:14 SwissalpS is there a way my code can detect which formspec versions are available? 15:18 SwissalpS lua_api.txt lists the different versions but not from which MT-version they were added 15:21 celeron55 https://github.com/minetest/minetest_docs/blob/413b559f1a49e59c2649eea2835fc7620d407dca/doc/formspecs.adoc#versions 15:21 celeron55 that's from a minetest_docs PR 15:21 celeron55 i guess it's in the wiki somewhere 15:22 celeron55 or maybe not 15:23 SwissalpS thanks celeron55. In rubenwardy's handbook it only mentions when real coordinates were introduced 15:23 SwissalpS https://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/en/players/formspecs.html 15:31 MinetestBot 02[git] 04sfan5 -> 03minetest/minetest: Bump IrrlichtMt to 1.9.0mt4 in CI 13b02b381 https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/b02b381af26c792d7f7feaa93198bb7efb2512de (152022-01-16T14:54:08Z) 17:33 SwissalpS I just realized that code can check core.get_player_information(player_name).formspec_version 17:34 SwissalpS that's probably the best way to handle compatibility 17:43 Krock SwissalpS: well that's the entire point of it 17:44 SwissalpS might have helped if it's existance was mentioned in the formspec section. Then again, adding mentions everywhere doesn't help overview too much either :) 18:42 MTDiscord Does any one know what 2022-01-16 12:38:14: [Server] Server: Failed to emerge player "" (player allocated to an another client) means? 18:53 MTDiscord @j45 "Another client is connected with this name." 18:54 MTDiscord Thanks 18:55 MTDiscord Do you know what cpp file that is in? 18:55 MTDiscord As in what file the error is from 19:04 Boulder Hello all 19:06 Boulder MT dont leave Creative mode in normal game. that need i do to play without Creative mode 19:06 Boulder ? 19:06 sfan5 try `/revokeme creative` in chat 19:07 Boulder thx 19:20 Boulder ththat works fine ;) 22:16 festerdam Hi, all! 22:16 Yad hi festerdam :D 22:17 Yad What's the function for amending a call of minetest.register_node ? 22:17 Yad I can't seem to find it in my logs or code notes. 22:17 Yad Nor lua_api.txt 22:18 festerdam I noticed that minetest doesn't list any database software as a dependency: https://dev.minetest.net/Compiling_Minetest How do minetest servers store player info? 22:18 Yad festerdam: In .sqlite databases. 22:18 Yad festerdam: Same file format as the map.sqlite which holds the world data. 22:18 SwissalpS Yad: are you looking for minetest.override_item() ? 22:19 rubenwardy festerdam: minetest supports multiple database backends, the default one is sqlite 22:19 festerdam Yad: Wouldn't the user then also have to install some software to interact with the databases? 22:19 Yad SwissalpS: No it's definitely for nodes. 22:19 SwissalpS you pass a table with the fields you want to override 22:19 Yad festerdam: If you want to outside of Minetest itself, yes. 22:20 rubenwardy festerdam: yes, sqlite is a dependency you need to install 22:20 rubenwardy https://github.com/minetest/minetest/#compiling-on-windows-using-msvc 22:20 SwissalpS Yad: yeah, I override node features with it 22:20 Yad SwissalpS: Ooooh, so it uses the word "item" instead of node?! :D 22:20 Yad SwissalpS: I don't see that in my logs either. 22:20 rubenwardy or https://github.com/minetest/minetest/#compile-minetest rather 22:20 festerdam rubenwardy: Thanks! 22:21 rubenwardy Minetest also supports PostgreSQL and other backends 22:21 rubenwardy https://wiki.minetest.net/Database_backends 22:22 MTDiscord offtopic: but double images on the forum are sorta annoying 22:22 rubenwardy [place inline] 22:22 rubenwardy doesn't help with older posts 22:23 rubenwardy it would nice if phpbb was clever and looked for [img] tags too 22:23 rubenwardy but alas 22:23 MTDiscord phpbb doesnt know what clever means lol
