06:12 BruhMoment Hi! I just got into using Minetest as a game engine. I'm just curious what its limitations are compared to other game engines?
06:14 calcul0n joined #minetest
06:14 Blockhead256[m] Minetest doesn't have the best graphics capabilities and doesn't have extended libraries for things like NPCs/AI (though it does have pathfinding)
06:15 Blockhead256[m] aside from world generation, most tasks run in a single thread, including most mod code, though we do have the async task runners nowadays with a limited environment
06:16 BruhMoment Ah, I see. Thanks!
06:16 Blockhead256[m] if something isn't provided by the Lua API, then odds are you will need to patch the engine. Hopefully not on the clientside, becaue that defeats the "killer feature" of being able to join any server
06:17 Blockhead256[m] and of course it's really only good for making block games or ones based on a grid at least
06:17 Blockhead256[m] can't say much more than that because I don't really have experience with the common game engines like Unity, Unreal, godot

12:13 sfan5 worth mentioning that with MT you usually don't package your game with the engine (as one thing you install), rather people install Minetest and then grab your game
12:14 proller joined #minetest
12:25 illwieckz joined #minetest
13:00 MTDiscord <MisterE> Also worth mentioning that minetest is built for games of the Minecraft paradigm; other games may be hacky or restricted to implement, though it is certainly possible to make other games (see glitch, blockbomber, little lady
13:07 MTDiscord <MisterE> Heh, even those may be hacky to implement, depending on what you want to do

16:38 lsab Hi. I'm founding a error with itemframes:
16:38 lsab ERROR[Main]: Ignoring out-of-bounds argument escape sequence in tranlation
16:38 lsab but not shows in debug, just in the screen
16:40 Blockhead256[m] what language do you have minetest set to? is this an item frame mod for minetest game or mineclone?
16:41 lsab I have to setting up to portuguese pt-br. No mod
16:42 lsab for that
16:42 Blockhead256[m] so you are playing mineclone2?
16:42 lsab oh no, minetest game
16:42 Blockhead256[m] item frames are not part of minetest game
16:42 Blockhead256[m] what mod are you using?
16:42 lsab maybe homedecor?
16:43 lsab yes, homedecor I see the folder
16:44 Blockhead256[m] yep I see it too
16:44 Blockhead256[m] did you install from contentdb?
16:44 lsab from github
16:44 lsab git, sorry
16:45 Blockhead256[m] so the latest master (default) or a tag?
16:46 lsab master
16:49 Blockhead256[m] woah okay yeah it happens when the language is pt_BR instead of english
16:51 lsab oh, If I change to english all tips on i3 will turned to english:
16:51 Blockhead256[m] it doesn't happen for German
16:51 Blockhead256[m] so it must be a problem with the pt_br localisation specifically
16:51 lsab I'll try to change
16:56 lsab I got the same error setting up to english
16:57 lsab I have to type in minetest.conf language=en, right?
16:57 lsab at server
16:57 Blockhead256[m] the server's language should not affect clients, this is Mintest's client-side translation feature
16:58 Blockhead256[m] you can configure the client language with the in-game menu
16:58 Blockhead256[m] So far: I do not get the error when using "" (system, English for me), en, fr, de; but I do when using pt (european) or pt_BR
16:59 Blockhead256[m] can you file an issue at: https://github.com/mt-mods/homedecor_modpack/issues ?
17:00 galex-713 joined #minetest
17:03 lsab oh ok, now it works
17:03 lsab thank you
17:03 Blockhead256[m] using a language that is not pt_BR?
17:04 lsab yes, I change to English
17:05 Blockhead256[m] still, you should report the bug, so you can enjoy it in pt_BR :) or I can do it..
17:07 MTDiscord <x2048> pt and pt_BR translations have @l instead of @1 in the translated string
17:07 Blockhead256[m] LOL
17:07 Blockhead256[m] Il1 bug
17:10 lsab oh I posted as a issue at github
17:11 lsab Can I fix that at init.lua?
17:12 Blockhead256[m] no the changes go in homedecor_modpack/itemframes/locale/itemframes.pt.tr and itemframes.pt_BR.tr
17:13 lsab Item frame=Quadro de Item
17:13 lsab Item frame (owned by @1)=Quadro de item (pertence a @l)
17:13 lsab Pedestal=Pedestal
17:13 lsab Pedestal (owned by @1)=Pedestal (pertence a @l)
17:14 Blockhead256[m] notice how the second half has "@l" instead of "@1"? that is a mistake
17:14 lsab oh ok, is that code, I'll change
17:15 Blockhead256[m] it's kinda-code like you would say HTML is code
17:15 blockhead joined #minetest
17:15 Blockhead256[m] hello who dis?
17:16 reminisce joined #minetest
17:16 Blockhead256 joined #minetest
17:16 MinetestBot Blockhead256: Feb-01 00:32 UTC <wsor> fixed
17:18 lsab LoL you're right... script?
17:18 Blockhead256[m] markup
17:18 lsab its running now. Thank you guys
17:18 Blockhead256[m] my name on LiberaChat is Blockhead256, who's this blockhead account?
17:19 reminisce It was an accident
17:19 reminisce i didn't know someone had the name.
17:20 Blockhead256[m] oh that's fine, I don't mean to be too overly protective
17:20 Blockhead256[m] at least a different number would help though I guess
17:20 reminisce So I logged out right away once I saw it,  sorry.  That's cool
17:21 Blockhead256[m] I realise having a name like Blockhead be recognisable without a number is kind of a privileged position
17:22 Blockhead256[m] we both must have blocks on the brain :P
17:22 reminisce I don't have any attachment to it.  Just haven't been around for a long time, so thought I'd pop in & see if I recognized anybody
17:23 Blockhead256[m] IRC is.. not exactly busy. There's the connected client list I suppose
17:24 Talkless joined #minetest
17:24 reminisce Yeah, kinda figured after the whole Freenode thing
17:25 Blockhead256[m] I don't know if Minetest's channel in particular was ever all that busy to be honest (but then, you've probably experienced it before circa 2017)
17:26 reminisce Yeah, I was from wayback when RedCrab was big
17:32 rubenwardy oh cool
17:32 rubenwardy see https://rubenwardy.com/redcrab/   the map is available to download
17:32 rubenwardy I have the full 20GB map as well, need to work out what to do with that at some point
