How do i make nodes "spawn" other nodes? Maybe an active furnace creates 1 coal block every 34 seconds on a random air node contacting the furnace. Do i use decorations, or are they purely for map generation? |

<luatic> kabou: nope |
| 09:57 |

<luatic> air is a builtin node for "nothing" |

okay |
| 09:57 |

<luatic> it is independent of the game |
| 09:58 |
independent56 |
Makes sense |
| 10:07 |

I am using this code https://pastebin.com/S946MM07 and every two seconds, an active furnace makes this kind of massive block: https://imgur.com/a/R2q1FgG |
| 10:07 |
independent56 |
Which is fine if that was what i wanted, but i wanted a single block to spawn atop the furnace |
| 10:16 |
definitelya |
> <luatic> air is a builtin node for "nothing" Wait, what is the difference with a void node then? |
| 10:17 |
independent56 |
air is part of the map and ignore is part of the client, as you are waiting for mapblocks to load |
| 10:18 |

I see, thanks. |

Is it possible to take one part of minetest.conf from one file, and add some lines from another during that startup of the server? |
| 10:56 |

For example, i want my coreminetest setting to be the same, but have different ports and descriptions for different servers. |

Is it considered poor ettiquete to run 7 servers off the same computer (which i own)? I am worried about violating terms for servers.minetest.net |

Each of them play a different game, which is why i have 7 |
| 16:05 |

what are the games |

Ah, let's see... Minetest game, No mans land, hades, Snake_3d, runorfall, Exile, luckydude, and falling_blocks |

To clarify, i am just runnin servers out of passion for these games and the fact they are often more fun when multiplayer. |
| 16:22 |

<MisterE> Might be |

Just wondering, can you make other faces for a single server, like different descriptions and names? Maybe 56i-server and 56i-mtserver appear on the list, linking to the sameserver? |
| 16:30 |
MTDiscord |
<MisterE> maybe with a custom mod that broadcast to the serverlist. Why would you, though? I think that if you can now, and someone abused it, it would be ans easy fix to prevent it by comparing ips and ports |
| 16:31 |
MTDiscord |
<MisterE> more useful would be to broadcast to another list also with a custom mod |
| 16:32 |
independent56 |
Makes sense |
| 16:33 |
independent56 |
Someone could use it as libel against another server, using a similar name, but incorrect description. |
| 16:33 |
independent56 |
Many faces like that can flood past the original server. |
| 16:36 |
MTDiscord |
<MisterE> its never happened, and its because its just not worth it. If it did happen steps would be taken to prevent it |

How come ps -aux | grep minetest returns three instances, but servers.minetest.net returns only the main server? (paraphrased config for one of the servers not on servers.minetest.net https://pastebin.com/91wwMsRY) |
| 16:53 |
independent56 |
Is the port added to server_address what went wrong? |
| 16:54 |
MTDiscord |
<MisterE> check things like bind_address, port in minetest.conf, port forwarding.... |
| 16:55 |
independent56 |
I ran it with --port 3002. Does that override minetest.conf? |
| 16:55 |

<MisterE> It should, I think? |
| 16:55 |

I can connect to it though from my computer |
| 16:56 |

the penalisation was a compromise to allow other servers to score well without supporting older clients |

MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> basically reasoning is just a translation of bias the serverlist against multicraft. a direct targeting |
| 19:08 |
independent56 |
Why do we all hate multicraft? |

rubenwardy are you saying “the penalization was a compromise to be biased against better implementation” ? |
| 19:11 |
erlehmann |
rubenwardy or is there something tied to supporting older clients that i am missing here? |
| 19:11 |
erlehmann |
like does supporting older clients have some drawback |
| 19:11 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> it limits you to stuff like formspec v1, etc |
| 19:12 |
erlehmann |
yeah but that is for the server operators |
| 19:12 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> but with mods like fs51, its a non issue |
| 19:12 |
erlehmann |
their choice tbh |
| 19:12 |
erlehmann |
i mean with a website, no one would be penalized if it worked in elinks |
| 19:13 |
erlehmann |
or if it had some workarounds for old internet explorer, or the new internet explorer named chrome |
| 19:13 |
erlehmann |
as i see it, the drawback is for server maintainers, not for clients |

someone correct me if i'm wrong: there's nothing in the lua API that can parse the serialized metadata in an itemstring without just putting it into an ItemStack? |
| 20:41 |
sfan5 |
sounds correct |
| 20:45 |
fluxionary |
pooh. i'm trying to write a tool to test mods w/out having to load an actual instance of minetest, this is the first tricky thing i'm gonna have to re-implement |

fluxionary: I recommend looking into busted as a testing library, could be worth basing your tool on that |
| 21:13 |
rubenwardy |
busted uses luassert, for test assertions |
| 21:14 |
fluxionary |
rubenwardy: i've seen your prior work on automated tests :) |
| 21:15 |
fluxionary |
i'm wanting something that does a bit more of an "integration" test |
| 21:15 |
rubenwardy |
I've mostly done UI testing, this sounds more like integ... |
| 21:15 |
rubenwardy |
yeah |
| 21:15 |
rubenwardy |
well |
| 21:15 |
rubenwardy |
a full integration test might even run inside of minetest |
| 21:15 |
rubenwardy |
you can start up MT without a visible client, and then run some test functions |
| 21:15 |
fluxionary |
yeah, that's certainly one way, and probably more reliable |
| 21:15 |
fluxionary |
if i give up on this current project, that's what i'll probably do |
| 21:17 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> see worldedits github actions |
| 21:20 |
sfan5 |
or devtest's unittests |
| 21:20 |
fluxionary |
i want to avoid having to push to github and have it spin up a whole environment every time i want to check a local tweak |
| 21:21 |
rubenwardy |
it's possible to run the same thing locally |
| 21:23 |
fluxionary |
i'm aware. but w/ what i'm trying to do, i just point a script at a mod's directory (and possibly specify location of minetest.conf and a world folder) and that's it |
| 21:28 |
sfan5 |
and the script then runs a headless minetest to test stuff with only that mod imported? I don't see the issue |
| 21:31 |
fluxionary |
it loads the mod(s) into a "fake" minetest i'm writing in lua, with trivial implementations of all the stuff that's not already lua |
| 21:34 |
fluxionary |
e.g. nodes in the map are just stored in a table hashed on the node position |
| 21:34 |
MTDiscord |
<luatic> Testing with a headless MT IMO is preferable. |
| 21:36 |
|
fling joined #minetest |
| 21:38 |
fluxionary |
possibly. certainly more fidel. but all sorts of things happen over time in a minetest world. and i'd also end up having to script headless clients. |

Hello again ( erlehmann and sfan5 mostly who helped me yesterday). :) |
| 21:47 |
Philaire |
Using TCP for OVPN, I reduced UDP packet drop and loss to 0%. |
| 21:49 |
Philaire |
And sure, Wireguard is much better, but it lacks password protection (and I can't risk it for now). |
| 21:59 |
Philaire |
Alas. |
| 22:00 |
Philaire |
Even with 0% drop rate in UDP, there is still a massive lag. |
| 22:02 |
sfan5 |
if you "solve" packet loss by wrapping UDP in TCP you are bound to have massive latency increases |
| 22:03 |
Philaire |
Sure |
| 22:03 |
Philaire |
but at my current point, I'm willing to try anything. |
| 22:04 |
Philaire |
As I mentionned yesterday, Minetest is the only game I have lag problems. |
| 22:04 |
Philaire |
I'm willing to throw all under the bus, like "my connection is bad", "my configuration is bad", "my network is badly configured", etc. |
| 22:05 |
Philaire |
but after nearly two days on the problem, I'm more and more convinced of "there's something wrong with Minetest". |
| 22:06 |
Philaire |
I mean, the game is advertised to be able to be run on low-ends |
| 22:06 |
Philaire |
if I need a monster PC or a monster connection, that's far from low end. :/ |
| 22:06 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> what's your latency in minetest? |
| 22:07 |
Philaire |
How can I know that ? :( |
| 22:07 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> debug info, F5 |
| 22:08 |
Philaire |
What would correspond to latency ? I have dtime, lag, etc. |
| 22:08 |
Philaire |
("there's something wrong with Minetest" : it's possible I'm the PEBKAC too, still.) |
| 22:09 |
sfan5 |
the value that says RTT |
| 22:09 |
Philaire |
dtime jitter is 1%, RTT is 176 ms on the client. |
| 22:10 |
fluxionary |
(btw, wsor point me at https://github.com/S-S-X/mineunit which is basically exactly what i want; wish i'd found it 10k lines of code ago...) |
| 22:12 |
Philaire |
RTT is constant 176ms. |
| 22:12 |
Philaire |
dtime peaked to 45% |
| 22:12 |
Philaire |
For example, I clicked "Respawn", and it's been 2 minutes. |
| 22:13 |
Philaire |
Window is gone, but world and me still at where I died. |
| 22:13 |
Philaire |
Now if I logout and relogin, I'm updated. |
| 22:13 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> it's not a lag but desync |
| 22:13 |
Philaire |
Oh |
| 22:13 |
Philaire |
how do I fix it, then ? |
| 22:14 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> if only i knew |
| 22:14 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> we have the same problem kinda |
| 22:14 |
Philaire |
Oh? How so? |
| 22:15 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> players don't respawn or respawn in the wrong position |
| 22:15 |
Philaire |
Well, for me, it's not just that. |
| 22:15 |
Philaire |
It's also blocks being placed by clients not showing as placed on clients, while being placed on the server. |
| 22:16 |
Philaire |
Still a desync ? |
| 22:16 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> so they're removed in clients? |
| 22:16 |
Philaire |
No. |
| 22:17 |
Philaire |
Like, take a block on the client. |
| 22:17 |
Philaire |
Place it on the world. |
| 22:17 |
Philaire |
Block still is in inventory. |
| 22:17 |
Philaire |
Logout. |
| 22:17 |
Philaire |
Log back in: block is now on the world. |
| 22:17 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> so the client sees the block in the world and in the inventory? |
| 22:18 |
Philaire |
Well, when the client places it down, it's placed for the server |
| 22:18 |
Philaire |
but the client believes it's not down |
| 22:19 |
Philaire |
so it's still showing in the inventory |
| 22:19 |
Philaire |
the only way to "fix" the client |
| 22:19 |
Philaire |
is to logout/login |
| 22:19 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> does the client see it placed in the world or not? |
| 22:19 |
Philaire |
No. |
| 22:21 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> that's really weird |
| 22:21 |
Philaire |
You have no idea ;v; |
| 22:22 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> the clients places the block unless the server rejects it |
| 22:22 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> ig updating the client or the server doesn't help? |
| 22:23 |
Philaire |
Client and server are both 5.5.0. |
| 22:24 |
Philaire |
Unless there's some weird s**t i'm missing. |
| 22:24 |
Philaire |
I feel like there's something OBVIOUS that I'm doing/not doing. |
| 22:25 |
Philaire |
I'll take any advice. |
| 22:26 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> downgrade the server to 5.4.1 XD |
| 22:26 |
Philaire |
... How so? I mean, how can downgrading helps ? O.o |
| 22:28 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> i wouldn't be surprised |
| 22:28 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> when did the problems start? |
| 22:28 |
Philaire |
Always. :D |
| 22:28 |
Philaire |
I've recently discovered Minetest. |
| 22:28 |
Philaire |
(One month or so.) |
| 22:29 |
Philaire |
Always been using the latest version. |
| 22:30 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> try to downgrade really |
| 22:30 |
Philaire |
Just the server ? |
| 22:31 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> i think so |
| 22:31 |
MTDiscord |
<savilli> or try both, it's easy |
| 22:31 |
Philaire |
er... |
| 22:32 |
Philaire |
Does it mean recompiling the engine ? |
| 22:32 |
Philaire |
Or do you have a link to older versions ? |
| 22:34 |

Going to give up on minetest entirely |
| 23:59 |
Philaire |
spent two hours trying to rebuild the engine |
| 23:59 |
Philaire |
(failed) |
| 23:59 |
Philaire |
ended up downgrading to 5.4.1 |
| 23:59 |
Philaire |
Now, refuses to start with a lovely "/usr/share/minetest/builtin/game/misc.lua:253: attempt to call field 'set_http_api_lua' (a nil value)" |
