01:14 deept hi, so i just started a server on ubuntu 22, minetest v 5.4.1. I think i have configured my minetest.conf correctly to announce to the master server, but it still isnt listed
01:14 deept https://pastebin.com/raw/p0Kuc9P7
01:14 deept my conf file ^

02:01 fluxionary what is the ontological distinction between the `core` namespace vs. the `minetest` namespace. i'm guessing it was originally called `core`, and that stuck around to keep backwards compatibility, but i personally avoid it like the plague outside of updates to the engine codebase. but i certainly see mods that still use it, and players who still talk about it as if that's how you should modify things
02:01 fluxionary (in the lua API, if that wasn't obvious)
02:03 fluxionary i guess what i want, is some sort of guidance as to whether to tell people "use core not minetest" or "you just have to know that those two names are synonyms w/ equal status"
02:03 MTDiscord <Jonathon> guess is wrong iirc
02:03 MTDiscord <Jonathon> its due to forks, wanting to have there own namespace and what not
02:03 fluxionary jonathon: so... use "core" if you're designing a mod you want to be compatible w/ other forks of the game?
02:04 MTDiscord <Jonathon> what i know for sure is that everything is written as core.xyz and then in builtin there is minetest=core
02:04 fluxionary so far as i remember, multicraft recognized the "minetest" namespace, is there another example?
02:04 MTDiscord <Jonathon> iirc it was freeminer that orignally started it
02:04 fluxionary ah ok, never messed w/ that
02:05 MTDiscord <Jonathon> and if you mean s/game/engine, then ?. its politics as to which one you should use, but ultimately it doesnt really mater
02:05 fluxionary but writing code for a fork of the engine seems like... it's not going to work a lot of the time anyway
02:05 MTDiscord <Jonathon> worst case you just do minetest=xyz if its changed
02:05 MTDiscord <Jonathon> you have it backwards
02:06 fluxionary hm?
02:06 MTDiscord <Jonathon> its not for mods writing for engine forks, its for engine forks to be able to easily set there own namespace
02:06 deept anyone familiar with server hosting?
02:06 fluxionary Jonathon: but they could just create their own namespace w/out having to use "core" either
02:06 fluxionary deept: i don't run a minetest server, but i use a service called "dreamhost" that i've been happy w/ for a few decades
02:07 deept ya my issue is minetest server related, i have the hosting issue figured. i guess i misspoke
02:07 deept i cannot get my server to be listed in on servers.minetest
02:07 deept idk why
02:07 fluxionary you've looked in the logs for clues? you understand the proper settings to get listed?
02:08 fluxionary also, the list server has to be able to connect to your server in order to verify it exists and get stats
02:08 deept logs, now thats something i need to do still
02:08 MTDiscord <Jonathon> you can see https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/1716#issuecomment-57920803 for example that some core devs claim you shouldnt use core, will others are indifferent
02:08 MTDiscord <Jonathon> in reality, its just spliting hairs what you use
02:09 fluxionary yeah, i kinda though "some have one position, some have another" would be the state of affairs
02:09 deept the box isn't behind NAT or anything, no FW probs, im able to connect via IP... do i need a domain to have it be listed? or is just an IP sufficent
02:09 MTDiscord <Jonathon> core does let you get more characters in default luacheck limit, but you also can just do local mt=minetest/core
02:10 fluxionary Jonathon: i'm not actually sure how the list server talks to the server, possibly the issue is w/ firewall vs. a separate port, or w/ an icmp (or udp?) ping
02:10 fluxionary deept, is it a public server? you could post the IP/port here and i could try to connect
02:10 fluxionary jonathon: that's about the worst reason i've heard =D
02:10 MTDiscord <Jonathon> use !up
02:11 MTDiscord <Jonathon> or whatever the command is
02:11 MTDiscord <Jonathon> to see if it can be connected to from outside
02:11 MTDiscord Command sent from Discord by wsor:
02:11 MTDiscord !up yolo.net:30000
02:11 MinetestBot yolo.net:30000 seems to be down (IPv4)
02:11 fluxionary !up your-land.de:30000
02:11 MinetestBot your-land.de:30000 is up (13ms) (IPv6)
02:11 deept i can connect from the outside, its 104.225.220.137:3000 though
02:11 deept its just not showing up on servers.minetest.net
02:11 fluxionary !up 104.225.220.137:3000
02:11 MTDiscord Command sent from Discord by wsor:
02:11 MinetestBot 104.225.220.137:3000 seems to be down
02:11 MTDiscord !up 104.225.220.137:3000
02:11 MinetestBot 104.225.220.137:3000 seems to be down
02:12 MTDiscord <Jonathon> ill say that your statement is incorrect
02:12 fluxionary deept: seems that the general internet can't connect
02:12 fluxionary deept, now, you need to figure out why *you* can connect, but other people cannot
02:12 deept but another player in a diff state can connect too
02:12 deept so, why can he and not yall?
02:13 fluxionary deept: networks are not simple things
02:13 MTDiscord <Jonathon> are you on a vpn, or something?
02:13 deept i understand that. nobody is using a vpn, we are both connecting from our respective home connections
02:13 fluxionary deept: i'll run a portscan against you, assuming you don't have anything set up to prevent that
02:13 deept to the VPS where the server is located
02:13 deept nope the security of the vps is minimal currently
02:14 deept oh crud
02:14 deept typo
02:14 deept port 30000
02:14 deept sorry
02:14 MTDiscord Command sent from Discord by wsor:
02:14 MTDiscord !up 104.225.220.137:30000
02:14 MinetestBot 104.225.220.137:30000 is up (139ms)
02:14 fluxionary !up 104.225.220.137:30000
02:14 MinetestBot 104.225.220.137:30000 is up (146ms)
02:15 MTDiscord <Jonathon> whats your config like?
02:15 deept https://pastebin.com/raw/p0Kuc9P7
02:15 MTDiscord <Jonathon> why are you posting example.minetest.conf?
02:15 MTDiscord <Jonathon> if you edited that somewhere, i dont want to find it
02:15 deept lol
02:16 deept yea thats the case, and cause i am unfamiliar with the conf file until today
02:16 deept babby's first minetest server :P
02:16 MTDiscord <Jonathon> please, make a blank minetest.conf, put your settings in that, test it, and then paste that here
02:17 fluxionary i suppose, default settings are default
02:17 fluxionary it's hard to grok what was changed if your conf file is mostly default settings
02:17 deept ya lemme see if i can strip out the comments
02:17 fluxionary (then again, `diff` exists)
02:17 MTDiscord <Jonathon> im aware, but its also dumb to have all those comments
02:18 fluxionary yeah, i'm not making diff work for me either
02:18 MTDiscord <Jonathon> flux: all that is commented out be default in that file
02:19 deept just give me a moment im stripping the commented lines
02:22 * deept dusts off sed knowledge
02:22 deept https://pastebin.com/raw/2Gq0msAj
02:22 MTDiscord <Jonathon> for anyone elses reading the logs, etc on the namespace thing, i recalled correctly. see https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/1258
02:22 deept there is that better :P
02:23 MTDiscord <Jonathon> server_address = game.minetest.net this is false
02:24 deept should that be my ip address since no url?
02:24 deept or just removed
02:24 fluxionary it can be a domain address
02:24 fluxionary or an IP address
02:24 MTDiscord <Jonathon> your going to want to sent bind_address
02:24 fluxionary either of which point to your server
02:25 MTDiscord <Jonathon> bind_address = 104.225.220.137
02:25 fluxionary if you have a domain, you can use that instead
02:25 fluxionary it's better to use DNS, so you can allow both ipv4 and ipv6 users access
02:25 MTDiscord <Jonathon> you should however remove server_url and server_address since both of those are incorrect. shouldnt affect joining
02:25 fluxionary and also, in case you move hosts
02:25 fluxionary gotta afk, i'll be back in a few
02:26 MTDiscord <Jonathon> also, are you getting anything in the logs about not able to connect to serverlist?
02:26 MTDiscord <Jonathon> usually it will say something
02:26 MTDiscord <Jonathon> *logs/terminal
02:29 deept if i run from terminal it says annoncing to serverlist (not verbatim)
02:29 deept no error
02:29 deept correcting the things discussed above now, ty all
02:32 deept ok now to see if it wants to work :P
02:34 MTDiscord <Jonathon> also maybe port = 30000
02:34 MTDiscord <Jonathon> not sure, always can ask sfan5 when they are awake and around later
02:34 MTDiscord <Jonathon> (they run the serverlist)

02:40 fluxionary deept: not sure if it matters, do you have any non-ascii stuff in `server_name` or `server_description` or such?
02:40 deept nope
02:41 fluxionary what's the name of the server? are you sure other people can't see it?
02:41 deept well now i have other issues im diagnosing :|
02:41 fluxionary k
02:49 deept man, if i could stop typoing things would work out much nicer
02:50 deept ok, so its back online, idk how frequently the list updates. "B & N's Techage Server" to answer your question fluxionary
02:50 deept ITS THERE!
02:50 deept TY ALL
02:50 deept now, to fix my horrible lag lolol
03:39 deept when creating a new world, does the world generate fully initially?
03:40 deept or does it generate as its explored
03:44 MTDiscord <Jonathon> As it's explored
03:45 deept im guessing biome_lib might be the source of my lag issues then
03:46 deept server runs fine unless i fly with fast mode into a new area, then it lags out for a bit, htop shows 100% cpu on some of the cores for a while
03:46 deept then it settles down
03:46 deept i noticed biome_lib hangs shutdown even on a local game
03:46 deept and slows down boot of the server....
03:48 deept lemme try setting it to false in worlds.mt
03:52 deept ya that was killing it
