05:55 Facedancer Hi; I'm playing singleplayer on 5.5.0, and no matter what inventory mods I add, it doesn't change the appearance of the inventory, or add a crafting guide.
05:55 Facedancer Is there a setting I need to change to allow the inventory to change appearance?
06:08 Alias joined #minetest
06:09 Parnikkapore_m Are you sure you have enabled the mod for the world you're playing?
06:09 Parnikkapore_m Aside from having installed it from the Content tab
06:12 Facedancer Yes. I've enabled every mod in my install for my game.
06:15 Facedancer Okay, Unified Inventory seems to work in Lite mode.
06:25 Facedancer And then on the next load, it doesn't, and the dreambuilder hotbar mod isn't working. Weird

13:44 aoki hardcore server??
13:44 aoki that sounds fun
13:44 aoki I tried making one once
13:44 aoki you get banned once you die

14:07 runs joined #minetest
14:08 runs hi
14:15 erle hey runs
14:15 erle lava and water do not interact in your game
14:16 erle that means you can have lava on the seafloor
14:16 erle also where the fluids meet there might be weird rendering errors
14:16 erle you might even step into lava that is invisible from your POV
14:18 aoki mmm lava on the seafloor... that's so nostalgic

15:35 settl3r[m] aoki:  it is called "hightime hardcore survivor" , mentioned in https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=21598 thread, you're welcome :)

15:36 Verticen joined #minetest
15:36 Taoki joined #minetest
15:39 GNUCraken left #minetest
15:46 aoki oh, looks cool!
15:48 aoki I connected! XD
15:50 aoki ok, why th does this server has protections?
15:50 aoki what if owner dies?
15:54 fling joined #minetest
15:56 settl3r[m] If you die, you have to ask one of the admins (aka demigods) to inherit the ownage from your deceased char, and probably naming your new char accordingly, like if "John" died, -> "John_II"
15:56 settl3r[m] The protection blocks prevent any griefing in their respective area (which is 11x11x11 m³).
15:56 settl3r[m] But they wrote, if you "really piss off" one of the demigods, you might lose your former protected stuff, as they would then be unwilling to let your new char inherit it (but you still can start new completely, of course).
15:57 aoki I died
15:57 aoki from hunger
15:57 aoki lol
15:58 settl3r[m] oh, RIP
15:58 settl3r[m] yeah food is tough to get near spawn :/ sorry
15:58 settl3r[m] (inheritance is really only needed for protected stuff)
15:58 aoki I see
15:59 aoki I was also very foolish to run instead of walking
15:59 settl3r[m] yeah. btw, you will get hungry even when staying still completely, albeit very slowly
16:00 settl3r[m] you can harvest grass to obtain wheat
16:00 settl3r[m] oh, you would of course need water and light
16:01 settl3r[m] but wheat only needs torchlight, luckily
16:01 aoki that was my plan
16:02 aoki but I starved before the wheat grew
16:02 aoki I found someone's hut with an empty field where I plantet wheat
16:02 settl3r[m] wow
16:03 settl3r[m] no apples trees found?
16:03 settl3r[m] s/apples/apple/
16:03 aoki nope
16:03 settl3r[m] (when i started i tried to survive on self-grown apple trees alone lol)
16:03 aoki I found something like corn and sunflower, but I am not sure how to use them
16:04 settl3r[m] unfortunately, apples don't regrow once harvested
16:04 aoki that's unnatural
16:04 settl3r[m] this makes it a real challenge
16:04 settl3r[m] hm. in nature, it takes a full year for them to "regrow"
16:05 settl3r[m] so i would say, it is semi-reaöistic
16:05 settl3r[m] s/reaöistic/realistic/
16:07 settl3r[m] oh idea: you could message lux (aka lister aka soylent_cow) and ask, if they can give you some food to help you get started..
16:07 settl3r[m] here: https://app.element.io/#/room/#hightime:matrix.org
16:07 aoki :3 starving is part of the challenge
16:08 settl3r[m] sure.. but when i started, there was more food at spawn, apparently, so it would be fair to give new players at least some food, so everyone has the same chance..
16:09 settl3r[m] ok, one could argue, change is another feat of that server, it will not stay static
16:09 settl3r[m] ..and part of the challenge. But.. maybe the admin (lux) would help new joiners like you.
16:10 settl3r[m] like, eg. giving you some breads or so, for some ingame days
16:10 settl3r[m] or.. maybe he makes it a part of the starting items
16:11 aoki tbh I'd remove starting items too
16:11 settl3r[m] (everyone starts with an iron pick, iron sword and iron chestplate anyway, so it would not make that large a difference, to add some food into the mix)
16:11 settl3r[m] ok, that would be an option, after a reset (which will never happen in this server)
16:13 settl3r[m] but.. you could try to trade one of your starting items for food with another player there..
16:13 settl3r[m] (maybe the pick or the chestplate)
16:14 settl3r[m] or.. you could ask Lux to give you food as starting items instead of the iron pickaxe..
16:14 settl3r[m] [so you would start with iron sword, iron chestplate and a stack of food, instead]
16:15 debiankaios joined #minetest
16:15 settl3r[m] ..as pickaxes are rather easy to get, and only need to be stone, in the beginning.
16:15 settl3r[m] * to be wood (or stone, * stone), in
16:17 Pexin one of the moderators on my regular server made a custom change to apple trees so they regrow, but only if they were in a specific orientation when picked
16:18 settl3r[m] but what, if someone fell these trees after harvesting apples?
16:18 settl3r[m] do they regrow then?
16:19 Pexin ..after chopping down the tree?
16:19 settl3r[m] yeah
16:19 Pexin not unless they replant
16:19 Pexin there's no tree
16:20 settl3r[m] i mean, they could configure it so, that the tree regrows, if there is the chunk left..
16:20 settl3r[m] s/chunk/trunk/
16:20 Pexin that would cause problems for people who build log houses
16:20 settl3r[m] ..and protect the trunk.
16:21 Pexin necrotree
16:21 settl3r[m] (lol) ok, they could set a flag, that a log loses the regrow capability, once removed completely
16:21 Pexin I meant the apples regrow
16:22 settl3r[m] would you like to play on Hightime-Hardcore-Survivor server?
16:22 Pexin no
16:22 settl3r[m] (ok) it would be new experience
16:22 Pexin am bild. am not fite.
16:23 settl3r[m] did you ever play in a hardcore server anywhere, in any game?
16:23 Pexin I played halflife one time
16:23 settl3r[m] i'm also like you, not a fighter at all, and i can enjoy it :)
16:23 settl3r[m] currently, i'm farming and building on that HHS server, without any dangers
16:23 Pexin it gave me nausea
16:23 settl3r[m] ..sometimes it is even boring lol
16:24 settl3r[m] but if people join there, any boredom is completely wiped away :)
16:25 settl3r[m] and setting tough quests for myself also helped to avoid boredom
16:25 sometalgoo joined #minetest
16:26 settl3r[m] strangely, having a "sword of damocles" hanging over me, while playing there, added spice to the gameplay and made it more immersive and thus, more enjoyable.
16:27 settl3r[m] now, if i play non-public hardcore servers offline, it would bore me to death probably, so i need the constant latent threat looming in the distance, to push my gameplay, to improve my bases etc. it drives me forward, so that it is not static, it pulls me in a good way :)
16:28 settl3r[m] also, non-hardcore public servers would be boring for me, now, too.
16:28 settl3r[m] But this server is different.. it is close to real-life.
16:30 settl3r[m] (and it reminds me of my old Haven & Hearth -times, in a good way)
16:30 settl3r[m] * good way, while being better in many aspects)
16:31 settl3r[m] * good way, while being better in many aspects, so it is the perfect server for me :)
16:32 settl3r[m] * good way while being better in many aspects, so it is the perfect server for me :)
16:32 settl3r[m] * (and it reminds me of my old Haven & Hearth -times in a good way while being better in many aspects, so it is the perfect server for me :)
16:37 aoki I agree, hardcore is fun
16:38 aoki like real life
16:38 settl3r[m] if i would still be near spawn, i would give you food, but alas..
16:39 settl3r[m] ..now it would be a long dangerous haul for me :/
16:40 settl3r[m] (but i dont reveal from which of the 6 directions of this Minetest CubeMap)
16:40 settl3r[m] (..to protect the secrecy of my location)
16:41 aoki it's ok the wheat I planted in my past life should be grown by now
16:42 settl3r[m] ah great, so you helped yourself ^^
16:42 settl3r[m] it's all part of the learning experience, goes the saying
16:42 settl3r[m] "What doesn't kill us (forever), only makes us stronger (in the long run)."
16:46 settl3r[m] if counting all possible 45°-directions in a cube (from the center), there are even more: about ~26 or so ^^
16:47 settl3r[m] i wonder, if there is a formula, to calculate the number of vectors, which can go from the center, given the same degree-separation from neighboring vectors..
16:48 settl3r[m] (for 90°-vectors, there are always 6, from the center to the edges)
16:48 settl3r[m] * the edges, in a cube)
16:52 settl3r[m] i now, wonder, how one would calculate the probability that a traveller who travels from the center to the edge of the cube meets someones base by chance alone.. (using the info, that you can only see 256 blocks far, when encountering new nodes [when receding, rendering range isn't limited] )
16:52 settl3r[m] * i now wonder, how one would calculate the probability that a traveller who travels from the center to the edge of the cube meets someones base by chance alone.. (using the info, that you can only see 256 blocks far, when encountering new nodes [when receding, rendering range isn't limited] )
16:53 settl3r[m] oops.. i accidentally set some flag at my text :/
16:53 aoki oh I actually once wrote a mod for recording player positions over time
16:53 aoki so that then you can plot a histogram of where people gather
16:54 settl3r[m] nice, but hopefully not used in that hardcore server :/
16:54 settl3r[m] it would break my immersion and it would endanger peoples bases for griefers
16:57 settl3r[m] also, i always hate it, when people fly in a (skyblock-)server, as that defeats the whole purpose
16:58 settl3r[m] (ok that last sentence was a bit of a rant, i quitted a skyblock server recently, when someone unexpectedly fly to my base in it)
16:59 settl3r[m] fortunately, the HHS server is (currently) enough for me to challenge me for a (very) long time (depending on my survival of course, lol)
17:00 aoki I stole potato!
17:01 settl3r[m] graz
17:01 aoki this server is very hardcore
17:01 aoki I get hungty just from crafting
17:01 settl3r[m] "what has to be done, must be done ^^ survival is of paramount importance" :) yes
17:01 settl3r[m] yeah, that is another great feature
17:01 settl3r[m] very realistic
17:02 LordOfLand joined #minetest
17:03 settl3r[m] i too, would "take" from (inactive) bases, if that was the only way to survive, but i would never kill a player, because that could kill the community :/
17:03 definitelya settl3r[m]: Hola, I am uwuwont btw ahah.
17:04 settl3r[m] (there could be one exception though: if there was a notorious PKer which was hated and feared by all others, i might make an exception lol)
17:04 settl3r[m] ah oh hello!
17:04 definitelya Yeah I thought I told you but I guess I forgot
17:05 settl3r[m] do you know of any PKer in that server, btw?
17:05 settl3r[m] sharpening his blades
17:05 settl3r[m] lol
17:06 settl3r[m] ok just kidding, i'm probably a rabbit, regarding fighting ^^
17:07 settl3r[m] @definitelya have you managed to find a safe place for your base?
17:07 definitelya rabbit go *sniff* *sniff*, beech.
17:07 definitelya xD
17:07 settl3r[m] xD
17:07 settl3r[m] lmao
17:07 definitelya eh yes I think, I wanna go underground.
17:07 definitelya I'll join.
17:08 settl3r[m] just be aware of the underground render-bug ..
17:08 settl3r[m] .which sometimes gives away precious info..
17:08 settl3r[m] s/./../
17:09 settl3r[m] luckily, playertags area only visible for 64 blocks
17:09 settl3r[m] s/area/are/
17:09 settl3r[m] * luckily, player tags are only visible for 64 blocks
17:09 definitelya gtk thanks
17:10 erle from a game developer perspective, how would you test this thing if not by letting a human follow a manual test plan? https://git.minetest.land/Mineclonia/Mineclonia/pulls/291
17:13 Talkless joined #minetest
17:42 Talkless joined #minetest
18:11 erle plants on farmland are 1 pixel above the farmland, because the farmland is only 15/16 high
18:11 erle how can i make the plant node render lower?(
18:17 ROllerozxa make the plant nodebox one pixel below the actual node bounds?
18:22 erle ROllerozxa what if the plant is … plantlike
18:22 erle can i do that?
18:26 ROllerozxa hmm I guess you would need to reimplement the plantlike drawtype as a nodebox then
18:28 erle how is that even possible
18:29 wsor or a mesh
18:29 PrairieWind joined #minetest
18:30 ROllerozxa https://grejer.voxelmanip.se/uploads/Screenshot_20220417_202933.png
18:31 ROllerozxa actually... would it be possible to give the textures an alpha channel this way? I hope so
18:32 wsor other than conflicting faces, i dont see why not
18:33 erle ROllerozxa, please show me the code
18:34 mrkubax10 joined #minetest
18:35 ROllerozxa https://grejer.voxelmanip.se/uploads/plantlike_nodebox.txt check how this looks like, it's a plantlike nodebox that is one pixel down into the ground
18:37 erle thanks
18:55 erle ROllerozxa this seems interesting. the texture of the thing is misaligned though, any idea about how to fix that?
18:55 erle í mean, it is aligned as before
19:05 erle ROllerozxa, nvm there is a meshoption that moves plants down!
19:12 erle uh, it is not consistent
19:12 erle damn
19:12 erle it moves the faces randomly a small bit down
19:17 erle ROllerozxa do you know any way to align the image at the bottom of the node for a nodebox?
19:22 appguru joined #minetest
19:24 MTDiscord joined #minetest
19:25 ROllerozxa erle: I don't think you're able to change nodebox UV mapping, unfortunately
19:26 wsor ^this, use a mesh if you want this option
19:26 MTDiscord <Jonathon> also hello from the other side

20:37 definitelya perfect for children LMAO.
20:48 MTDiscord <FatalError> Just like the sPNKR
21:27 erle ROllerozxa any idea how i can use texture modifiers to shift something?
21:28 erle the problem is shifting by percentages really
22:00 Sven_vB joined #minetest
22:01 erle am unable to move the texture 1/16 down with a texture modifier :/
22:01 erle :(

22:38 MTDiscord <Bastrabun> Aloha. Since a couple of hours my sever is getting a bit of DDoS, with the message "buy makeworld today! Stop playing minetest". Any ideas about the origin? ?
22:38 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> sort of, possibly?
22:38 MTDiscord <Jordach> butthurt

22:39 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> anything like this ^
22:39 MTDiscord <Jordach> [off] that link only works for discord users, link the image URL in future
22:39 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> hmm
22:42 erle please link image url
22:42 erle where is the butthurt
22:42 erle give me the drama
22:42 erle i live for it
22:43 erle is the makeworld author a bitch or is this a false flag WHO KNOWS
22:44 LordOfLand joined #minetest
22:47 MTDiscord <Bastrabun> Hm, what peice of the cake would you want? ?
22:53 fluxionary what even is makeworld?
22:53 MTDiscord <Jonathon> makerworld is just some moron who tried to sell minetest on itch.io with a ton of mods, it got taken down, as well as getting banned here, and now there butt hurt
22:54 MTDiscord <Jonathon> *taken down for license violations
23:05 erle yeah i heard there where CC-NC mods in it?
23:14 AliasAlreadyTake joined #minetest
23:16 MTDiscord <SX> I think additionally many (most?) licenses were stripped out which is already violation by itself in most cases
23:17 RhineDevil joined #minetest
23:18 Gustavo6046 joined #minetest
23:18 MTDiscord <SX> I guess that was straightforward simple way to be "new original author"
23:38 erle ROllerozxa i found out that my # plants do not use their top row of pixels anyway
23:40 erle ROllerozxa when i did a tiles = { "[combine:16x16:0,-15=plant.png;0,1=plant.png" } it looked nice for the nodebox
