08:22 sunyibo I'm tutoring a nine year old girl. She likes minetest. But she's not much into reading the manual or setting up a minetest server and stuff. How can I channel her activities into something more educational?
08:24 MTDiscord <j45> Modding?
08:25 mugli[m] sunyibo: https://github.com/SoPoCoder/realterrain
08:25 mugli[m] She can "climb" famous landscapes in Minetest with this mod.

08:56 erlehmann sunyibo you could ask her what kind of block she would like to have in game and then walk her through it
08:57 MTDiscord1 joined #minetest
08:57 erlehmann sunyibo my boyfriend for example got into minetest modding by making a mod that allows you to put carpets on walls. and a mod that rickrolls people, by having the digging sound for the carpet set to a rickroll played with note blocks haha.
08:58 Flabb joined #minetest
08:59 erlehmann sunyibo what i mean is: a small success & understanding that stuff is easy can make people want to read the rubenwardy book!
09:01 erlehmann sunyibo if you want to turn her to the dark side, you can show her how easy it is to cheat in minetest. maybe you can get hold of fleckenstein or cora and ask them if they want to help tutoring.
09:03 erlehmann sunyibo also some mods that change map generation are really small, like the mineclone2 underwater challenge that replaces air with water.
09:04 erlehmann sunyibo or mods that add new items

09:45 citaconrama Hi everyone
09:46 citaconrama I would like to register to minetest forum but the activation email never arrives. Can anyone help me? TIA
09:53 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> Have you checked your spam?
09:54 erlehmann citaconrama it is somewhat difficult to register on the forums, but i'd suggest to check the spam folder first
09:54 erlehmann i think cora took a lot of tries
09:56 sfan5 I think email activation might be broken right now

11:04 citaconrama I have checked spam hundreds of times and I have tried with two different accounts.
11:04 citaconrama :_(
11:05 citaconrama Even several days. And I have sent two emails to the board administrator...

12:05 erlehmann when can get_player_control() for a player return nil?
12:06 erlehmann i wonder if maybe the thing i have is not a player
12:14 erlehmann ok turns out it was not a player
12:14 erlehmann but a wolf
12:14 erlehmann stuck as a boat driver
12:19 sfan5 citaconrama: which name did you register with the forum?
12:22 citaconrama citaconrama
12:23 sfan5 I can manually activate that account later today then

12:42 celeron55 i guess the "Contact a Board Administrator" doesn't work

12:43 Yad_ joined #minetest
12:43 celeron55 i'll just disable it so that people won't try using it as there are many other ways to contact the staff
12:43 citaconrama thank you very much, @sfan5

18:58 tech_exorcist this is probably not the best place to ask this, but in advtrains, is there a way to get a train's ID without intentionally causing it to go off track and then trying to split it?
19:00 Yad Are you referring to https://content.minetest.net/packages/orwell/advtrains/ ?
19:00 Yad tech_exorcist
19:00 tech_exorcist Yad: yes
19:02 Yad tech_exorcist: Ah nice. Anything which moves is an `entity` so yeah, you probably can, though you might have to modify the mod.
19:02 Yad tech_exorcist: I've never looked at that mod's Lua source code yet.
19:03 independent56 joined #minetest
19:03 tech_exorcist Yad: I see
19:17 SwissalpS tech_exorcist: are you asking about detecting from code? Because in-game you can use detector rails iirc
19:18 SwissalpS *from mod-code
19:18 specing_ joined #minetest
19:18 Yad SwissalpS: Oh, well then that would be an item which could be studied to identify how the detection process works
19:20 SwissalpS tech_exorcist: advtrains:dtrack_detector_off_placer
19:20 SwissalpS advtrains_luaautomation:dtrack_placer would probably also show other detections
19:25 tech_exorcist SwissalpS: I mean a way to see an arbitrary train's ID, if I have to drive it over a Lua controller or something it's fine
19:25 tech_exorcist (gtg ttyl)
19:25 sunyibo thanks

20:15 Yad Is it still true that Git does not have a concept of `pull requests`?
20:15 Yad Such that I can only do commits from the command line for Git, and have to do `pull request`s from the GitHub web GUI?
20:16 sfan5 pull requests are a github concept, yes
20:17 Yad sfan5: Hmm, so are they impossible to accomplish from the VSCodium environment?
20:17 sfan5 not necessarily
20:17 Yad sfan5: I appear to have everything else configured for using my GitHub account in VSCodium.
20:18 Yad sfan5: I've read there's a command-line interface for GitHub itself, but that would require installing something beyond Git.
20:22 SwissalpS you can push to your own fork from cli, then you only need to click the PR button on github and add some comentary
20:23 SwissalpS (similar applies to other git repo hosting services)
20:26 Yad SwissalpS: Okay thanks. So I can expect to always need a web browser in order to use GitHub?
20:27 SwissalpS or their software, yes
20:29 Oksanaa joined #minetest
20:33 Yad SwissalpS: I just want to avoid running closed-source software, if possible.
20:34 v-rob joined #minetest
20:35 rubenwardy you can disable JS
20:35 SwissalpS yeah, I get that. The other option is to mail the diff to maintainer or link to your own repo. But, understandably, maintainers don't generally like that :/
20:36 Yad rubenwardy: Oh I didn't mean the web-page part, but thanks heheheh
20:36 Yad SwissalpS: Yeah, so it sounds like I keep using the web GUI for pull requests.
