00:25 schwarzwald[m] I had to do a fresh build for it to find the toolchain. It's working now!
00:44 schwarzwald[m] Alright, I got it compiled. Next Sunday maybe I'll be able to test my new build setup on here.

12:19 jwmhjwmh Could #12772 and #12611 be added to the next dev meeting's agenda? There is some disagreement about them that should be resolved. I don't have a wiki account to add these items myself.

12:19 jwmhjwmh Whoops, I meant to post this in #minetest-dev.
12:19 jwmhjwmh Maybe a dev will see it here anyway.
12:22 rubenwardy If you PM me an email and username, I can make you a Dev wiki account
12:22 rubenwardy Err assuming the email sending works
12:23 rubenwardy Might have to send back a password and hope it's already activated

14:32 kilbith a popular youtuber (1.18M followers) made a video about MT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5g4tUzxtkw&amp;t=60s
14:33 kilbith (but in french)
14:36 jwmhjwmh joined #minetest
14:47 rubenwardy estupendo
14:50 kilbith I wouldn't say it's amazing, he says it's the worst plagiarism of Minecraft
14:50 kilbith so I say that he's a little asshole
14:51 kilbith he's litteraly mocking the game all over his video
15:01 rubenwardy What's notable about the Ant Venom review is that it's actually well researched
15:01 rubenwardy usually minecraft youtubers only load up the mainmenu and MTG, and come to conclusions based on that
15:01 orwell96 joined #minetest
15:04 kilbith lots of people only stay over the surface when they judge something/someone
15:05 kilbith and it's always easier to defend the king (MC) than the outsider (MT), it's gregarism
15:09 kilbith but he actually have some valid criticism, like the absence of true sprint which is annoying
15:10 kilbith and loading media which takes ages
15:12 kilbith the game feels like it has been designed by engineers and not by actual game developers, which is the main issue IMO
15:13 kilbith guys like sfan5 or Krock completely miss the point of what's fun to play and what's important to work on (sorry guys)
15:14 kilbith it's not meant to offend but that's just not your speciality
15:23 kilbith in my team I work with 2 game designers, 1 artist, 1 UI/UX designer and that's the bare minimum to produce a good game
15:24 appguru joined #minetest
15:24 MTDiscord <Jordach> you can certainly do it with less
15:24 kilbith and there's also a team of 10 QA testers
15:25 appguru kilbith: Honestly that YouTuber and his video is just *cringe*; I already stumbled upon it a while ago, but the thumbnail and the comments tell you everything you need to know
15:25 MTDiscord <Jordach> i tend to do the following - experiment with a feature, test it and iterate in a singleplayer sandbox, test in a two client LAN configuration and iterate then let other users finally try it
15:27 kilbith appguru: this is not black and white either
15:27 rubenwardy Game jams like Ludum Dare are super good for getting feedback for the games you create. I was blown away by the quality of feedback you get
15:27 rubenwardy there's one this weekend
15:29 rubenwardy you need feedback to get good design - putting your work in front of a user and watch then break it. User studies are a big part of UI/UX design
15:29 kilbith honestly if I had to release a game commercially with MT, this wouldn't be with MT but with a fork - it's like a mandatory passage through the C++ box to be taken seriously
15:30 kilbith the upstream engine cannot supply with everything you need to implement in your game
15:31 kilbith all commercial projects involving MT *had* to fork the engine eventually
15:31 rubenwardy projects being able to make their own forks is one of the benefits of open source. You can do things for your project without having to care about all the other projects
15:31 rubenwardy this is entirely desirable and I'd recommend it
15:31 rubenwardy I forked Minetest for CTF
15:33 rubenwardy Godot has a C++ extensions API that lets you do this much more easily. This wouldn't be possible with MT's current design though
15:35 kilbith yes so what's the point of MT then - sometimes I want to tell to my team to use Unity or Godot as they have basic needs (platform portability, good UI scaling, etc.) that cannot be fulfilled with MT
15:38 kilbith or the impossiblity to use SVG as the high-def PNG textures scale badly, or the impossibility to put a halo outline around an item on mouse houvering, etc. etc.
15:39 kilbith that's a lot of "no, we can't do that with MT" everyday
15:40 Desour joined #minetest
15:41 kilbith and what if I don't want to distribute my scripts in open-source in my commercial project? Love2D allows that, but there you can see that when you choose MT, you also have to carry its ideology with it
15:43 rubenwardy Minetest is a pretty bad game engine, I've taken to calling it a game platform
15:43 debiankaios joined #minetest
15:44 rubenwardy (bad game) engine
15:44 kilbith I mean the real actual game is to develop the engine, the rest is laughable
15:45 debiankaios about what are you talking about?
15:45 kilbith the real point of MT is to imorove your programming skills
15:46 debiankaios ok…my programming skills was improved by mt
15:46 rubenwardy MT got me multiple jobs

16:14 MTDiscord <Jordach> improve
16:14 MTDiscord <Jordach> more like flex on how good we actually damn well have it
16:14 MTDiscord <Jordach> an authoritative client server model with built in media sending with no content downloading prequesites
16:15 MTDiscord <luatic> eeh, the media sending is probably the only good thing about MT
16:16 MTDiscord <luatic> the "authoritative client server model" sucks pretty much in comparison to being able to run code in the client as, you know, actual game engines allow you to
16:16 MTDiscord <luatic> on the client*
16:17 MTDiscord <Jordach> you do understand that Source and Source 2 are exactly like that
16:18 MTDiscord <Jordach> clients are not trusted in Source and Source 2
16:18 rubenwardy authoritative client server model doesn't mean no client-side scripts
16:20 MTDiscord <luatic> yeah
16:20 MTDiscord <luatic> the problem is that the protocol is currently pretty much fixed, except for modchannels which are useless as we can't assume any CSMs are installed
16:30 MTDiscord <Jordach> i do have an idea for trying to future proof the network packet handler

18:13 rubenwardy chronically
18:15 nero91 yo man you inspire me so much. i read your entire blog and learned so much. i thought i was a pretty good web dev until i saw your blog
18:17 nero91 i wanted to see if you wanted to join me on a project to make a webapp to store and organize code snippets, while syncing to vs code and pasting them by prefixes such as [reactfunc]+enter
18:17 nero91 i already have the backend almost done
18:17 nero91 frontends pretty much done but my screenshots on another laptop ill show u later
18:18 nero91 but there's more to do if a guy like you thinks into it
18:18 nero91 https://github.com/penguin1333/sniphub-backend
18:20 nero91 if not that, maybe you could teach me stuff and ill pay you for it
18:26 orwell96 joined #minetest
18:26 diceLibrarian joined #minetest
18:28 nero91 i want to learn how to do stuff like how you scrape git repo and forum post data and make it populate into a db model like you did with contentdb. that was impressive
18:43 rubenwardy !tell nero91  thanks :)   I have way too many projects on the go currently, sounds interesting though
18:43 MinetestBot rubenwardy: I'll pass that on when nero91 is around

20:49 MTDiscord <Alandor> How dare you are to say that? I'm a proud Minetest player who spent mpre than 6 years to achieve my goal. I have never supported bot players that are used on some servers like Multicraft <insert word> (e.g. creative) server.  Yesterday there were 43 players online, btw.
20:49 MTDiscord <Alandor> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/749727888659447960/1024060225269022833/Screenshot_2022-09-25-18-25-21-945_net.minetest.minetest.png
20:52 MTDiscord <Alandor> The old EoL was opened in 30th of December, 2018 and I spent enough time to achieve these results.
20:52 MTDiscord <rubenwardy> for anyone confused, on discord that's a reply to  [09/23/2022] <Guest48> Empire Of Legends uses bots to get higher in the minetest serverlist
20:54 MTDiscord <Alandor> Is there any way to show that my server doesn't use bots?
20:54 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Not especially, but I'm not sure that the burden of proof lies with you anyway.
20:55 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I'd expect that if someone wanted to make a serious accusation of that kind of cheating, they should have more rigorous evidence than, say, having just checked once.
20:56 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Especially considering that the server list does not exactly represent an exact real-time capture of what's going on with any server.
20:57 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I've seen people do the "this server looks busy so I'll check it out" thing and join like 10 seconds after a group of friends all logged off for the day.
20:57 MTDiscord <Alandor> Well, in this case I don't care. My team and me already have a loving community and do not need to prove anything
20:57 MTDiscord <Warr1024> If anyone is trying to cheat the system they will eventually get caught, of course.
20:58 MTDiscord <Alandor> However, I probably know the reason of growing active — Spanish players
20:58 MTDiscord <Alandor> There are too many of them

21:11 MTDiscord <Alandor> To that person who saw too many players with "bob" name — a file with all homes
21:11 MTDiscord <Alandor> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/749727888659447960/1024065650089537726/unified_inventory_home.home
21:15 MTDiscord <Alandor> The last thing I say, "Play a week on my server before saying anything about it".  Now bye.
