02:39 FavoritoHJS random idea for someone making a mtg mod: change ore distribution to have copper and tin appear near the surface, then make iron tools hard to get, such as by requiring complex crafting or a hard-to-get catalyst (as-in an item that isn't consumed, or is consumed so slowly it won't be a major bottleneck once obtained), which would have the side
02:39 FavoritoHJS effect of making bronze actually useful
03:22 muurkha     if you wanted to make it more realistic, you could make iron ore super common and tin ore only occur in narrow geographic areas, but make iron ore extremely hard to actually refine into iron (or steel)

12:44 kabou       IMHO the "Chat command definition" in lua_api.txt is less than satisfactory in the sense of completeness and clarity
12:44 kabou       https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/d82d18bfb1a51e0f2f0a89999474e98890addf7e/doc/lua_api.txt#L9298
12:46 kabou       I think it could be improved if it begins with a clear definition of terms and arguments, and give an outline example after that.
12:47 kabou       Right now, it is a bit of both, a combination of definition and example.
12:48 kabou       I had to check the builtin lua source code to verify what is what
12:50 kabou       When you need to read the source code in order to understand what the documentation means, that's a bit upside down and maybe the documentation isn't all it could be.
13:05 sfan5       yeah we could use a documentation makeover where examples are clearly separated from definitions
13:05 sfan5       and also linked / collected together nicely
13:06 kabou       I could at least do a patch for this one
13:07 sfan5       feel free
13:07 kabou       but one thing is still unclear to me, what is the status of the "params" parameter https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/d82d18bfb1a51e0f2f0a89999474e98890addf7e/doc/lua_api.txt#L9316
13:09 kabou       is that a compulsory format (ie. it gets parsed by the server) or is it advisory (ie. it proposes a standard for mod authors to adhere to)
13:09 kabou       it is my impression that it is the latter
13:09 calcul0n    params in the def is just a help string printed when you type /help command
13:09 calcul0n    param in the callback is a string containing whatever the user typed after /command
13:09 kabou       ok thanks, so I don't need to further dig through the cpp source code
13:56 lissobone   I have sinned.
16:29 lissobone   My friend saw a kid in a bus playing "МОДЫ майнкрафт" (minecraft MODS was displayed in the main menu instead of the regular "minecraft" title).
16:29 lissobone   He showed him minetest.
16:29 lissobone   The kid started speaking Georgian.
19:21 muurkha     Warr1024: you're flapping, 80% of my screen is you
19:41 FavoritoHJS ahh yes, buggy irc clients
19:48 muurkha     it's possible Warr1024's IRC client is buggy but it's more likely that their connection is a marginal Wi-Fi network
