11:07 Guest6629 joined #minetest
11:07 Guest6629 hello
11:08 proller joined #minetest
11:13 Guest6629 Got a question about creating world via command line (Linux). I set up server on LXC.
11:13 Guest6629 Mine server is located on /root/ so I basically started new one and it created /root/.minetest/worlds/world.
11:13 Guest6629 Now if I start new world with /usr/bin/minetest --server --world WORLD_NAME and I'm i.e. in /opt/ it creates world in /opt/new_world name
11:13 Guest6629 As above I always have to put full path i.e. /usr/bin/minetest --server --world /root/.minetest/worlds/new_world (and additionall) --config /root/.minetest/worlds/new_world/world.mt
11:14 Guest6629 its totally ok or not?
11:14 rubenwardy you can use --worldname instead of --world path to give it just the name
11:15 rubenwardy like   --worldname world
11:15 rubenwardy like   --worldname WORLD_NAME
11:15 rubenwardy From minetest --help:
11:15 rubenwardy --world <value>             Set world path (implies local game if used with option --go)
11:15 rubenwardy --worldlist <value>         Get list of worlds ('path' lists paths, 'name' lists names, 'both' lists both)
11:15 rubenwardy --worldname <value>         Set world by name (implies local game if used with option --go)
11:16 orwell96 joined #minetest
11:16 Guest6629 yes I know but as I said if I do not point path it creates new world in directory where I acually are
11:18 rubenwardy you are pointing to a path by using --world
11:19 rubenwardy paths are releative to the current working directory
11:19 rubenwardy so the path "world1" is world1 in the current working director
11:19 rubenwardy --worldname will be inside ~/.minetest/worlds
11:20 rubenwardy so   --worldname world1    will make it ~/.minetest/worlds/world1/
11:24 Guest6629 hmm
11:25 Guest6629 ```
11:25 Guest6629 root@min:/opt# /usr/bin/minetest --server --worldname test2
11:25 Guest6629 2022-08-09 11:24:16: [Main]: World 'test2' not available. Available worlds:
11:25 Guest6629 2022-08-09 11:24:16: [Main]: world/root/.minetest/worlds/world
11:25 Guest6629 2022-08-09 11:24:16: [Main]: nowy_swiat/root/.minetest/worlds/nowy_swiat
11:25 Guest6629 Multiple worlds are available.

11:29 Guest6629 in this case I do not have world called test2 created and it dont let me start
11:40 Fixer joined #minetest
11:48 lemonzest one way I got it to create a world was to pass a config file with "fixed_map_seed" set to some random value
11:52 lemonzest I did find it easier tho to just create a single player world then copy that over to the server and use that
11:54 lemonzest and world.mt is not a config file for a server, its much like minetest.conf a file with options per line and passed with --config
12:04 Guest6629 so in world.mt I should only have info about world + mods and in minetest.conf rest i.e default privileges granted on start and rest necessary options?
12:05 lemonzest yes
12:07 lemonzest https://pastebin.com/xKspCT0W
12:07 lemonzest my server conf looks a bit like that, deleted some personal stuff
12:07 Guest6629 enable_server = true excludes --server option in command line ?
12:08 lemonzest I use minetestserver so
12:08 lemonzest --server is not needed
12:08 Guest6629 oh I see
12:09 Guest6629 what about basic and default privs? what are differences
12:10 lemonzest my default privs had more but I deleted it for the sake of example, they are bestowed to new players
12:11 Guest6629 kk found description about it on git
12:11 Guest6629 thanks for help and clarifications

12:48 Andrew Thanks to ``AntVenom'', a Minecraft YouTuber with three million subscribers, Minetest is recently getting a lot of attention, and a popular server (Your Land) has got a huge influx of players, many of which are trying Minetest for the first time, which I'd expect to be visible in the Minetest Discord.  (I don't see an influx of people on IRC, well I wouldn't expect Minecraft users to be on IRC or
12:48 Andrew to understand it anyways.)
12:48 Andrew Though, because promoting Free Software games isn't exatly in the interest of YouTube and Google, that video isn't getting a lot of views on YouTube (though people could still find it on AntVenom's homepage or whatever it's called on YouTube despite it getting into less video feeds, reportedly).  I guess we could demonstrate to the world that Minetest, a free/libre game primarily made by
12:48 Andrew volunteers, doesn't have to be worse (and can be better) than some of the other ones out there.
13:29 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> I HIGHLY doubt that YT cares about whether or not a certain video is about corporates or open source
13:30 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> It's all about INTEREST
13:32 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> I bet most who watch that video are like "nah I'm good playing MC, need no clone/alternative"
13:34 Andrew IhrFussel: Both are quite possible as I could see
13:35 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> There is also a myth that shadow bans would exist on YT but they DO NOT
13:35 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> Just because your video stops being recommended to users doesn't mean YT hid you in any way
13:39 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> I'm pretty sure that a thumbnail stating "this is not minecraft" won't have that many clicks by default
13:40 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> Considering people subscribed to that channel mainly for MC content
13:40 definitelya IhrFussel: They do shadowban creators, they need to protect their interests, which is big media and such, on YT. That's one of the reasons why there is no "dislike video" button anymore.
13:41 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> They said many times now that shadow bans do not exist on their platform and I'm not sure if they would be allowed to lie this blatantly
13:42 definitelya Hah, I'm not gulping down what they say, show me the code or it didn't happen, Alphabet! LUL
13:44 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> Again all I say is that if video views suddenly stop it just means that not enough new users clicked on your thumbnail which tells the algorithm that your content is bad
13:46 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> Either your content is bad or your topic reach is already fully saturated
13:53 definitelya Andrew: It would be huge if some companies chose Minetest as the engine for their projects. Infinite potential for games or maybe other educational software they can whip up. And you know, a sponsor or two.
13:54 definitelya Essentially, do what Godot is doing.

16:38 josiah_wi Hello, I am looking to message erlehmann.
16:46 FavoritoHJS joined #minetest
16:49 FavoritoHJS continuing from Andrew's convo, I imagine the lower views might be because the topic is less interesting to AntVenom's audience.
16:49 FavoritoHJS Less attention = less views = less recommendations = less attention
16:49 Andrew Hmm, also true
