00:44 vejou[m]      hi
00:44 vejou[m]      have you guys heard of the bluestone mod
00:55 jonadab       I have not.  The main technical mods I know are mesecons, pipeworks, Technic, and digtron.
00:57 jonadab       Or is it closer to what it says on the tin, a type of stone that's blue?
03:00 vejou[m]      its the multicraft version of mineclone mesecons
05:24 critr         wait, is there worldedit for minetest? is it like worledit for spigot (minecraft)?
08:42 lissobone     Yeah, sfan5 made it.
08:42 lissobone     Also, do entities have metadata?
08:43 lissobone     I couldn't find any trace of them having it.
08:43 lissobone     I'm making a simple mod for analyzing object (node, player, etc) metadata with a wand.
08:44 lissobone     Later the mod will include a "setwand" aside from the "getwand".  It will be capable of setting metadata.
09:04 lissobone     It works, just the texture is left, but I don't see any sign of mobs possessing the ability to store metadata.  Maybe studying the source might help?

09:38 ROllerozxa    people really need to stop using the forums as a wiki or knowledge base...
10:02 Blockhead256  ROllerozxa: Most people (including myself) can't edit the wiki and there is no knowledge base. So..
10:03 Blockhead256  do you have a better suggestion?
10:16 ROllerozxa    well yes I am in fact aware that the official wiki is in a terrible state right now
10:42 lissobone     The best wiki is the free source code that's shared among us.
10:43 lissobone     (Minetest engine source comments are in fact very well done.)
11:25 lissobone     Does anyone need a useful little mod for analyzing item, node and player metadata?
11:25 lissobone     Useful for peeking into chests, inventories and just generally for debugging.
11:26 lissobone     No fancy interfaces.  Gives you the name and metadata of the item in the very first slot of "main".
11:26 Krock         lissobone: devtest already has similar tools
11:27 lissobone     Well, I made this one in, like, 10 minutes to test my vape mod.  Let's see if devtest has anything better to offer.
11:34 lissobone     Y'know what?  I'm gonna borrow something from there.
11:34 lissobone     Devtest really has a lot of cool stuff to offer (with nice minimal designs).
11:50 Blockhead256  lissobone: GitHub gist maybe?
11:52 lissobone     what do you mean
11:52 lissobone     why
12:01 Blockhead256  gist is easy way to share something without putting in git, so you could just put your metadata mod in a gist, maybe link it here, and forget about it
12:05 lissobone     no im gonna just share the archive without feeding micro$oft my data so u can safely keep it on ur hard drive ok?
12:07 lissobone     uhh i don't know what gists are
12:07 lissobone     dont judge me plz if i said smthng wrong
12:12 Blockhead256  oh, understandable
12:13 Blockhead256  gist is like a slightly-more-featured pastebin where there's multiple files and version history if you want
12:13 Blockhead256  but if you don't like M$ then that's your choice
12:16 lissobone     I would have totally loved M$ if they made and sold exclusively free software, but since this is not the case, I am a little more comfortable sharing the software without relying on the Big Brother.
12:17 lissobone     Actually, I can paste the entire wand mod here, it's very short.
12:17 lissobone     (Ok, not that short.)
12:32 lissobone     http://115.137.94.44/files/metadata_wand.tar.gz
12:32 lissobone     Here, enjoy.  Shared the same way as my much-hated meme.
12:38 Blockhead256  That's an interesting archive. An actual texture for the wand, a licence statement in a COPYING file and an older version of init.lua, init.lua~
12:38 Blockhead256  also mixed tabs and spaces :(
12:57 independent56 Are carts a reliable method of cargo transport? As in, can i put in cargo, dpeloy the cart, leave the server, load the mapblocks maybe days later, and trust that the carts will still have the items?
12:59 independent56 I've been building a cart network (with junctions designed to funnel all carts to the central storage facility), so i've been sending building waste with carts, but every now and then i don't really see the items being unloaded into the vacuum tubes (even if i do follow the carts back)
13:04 independent56 It seems that the carts are dropping their cargo every now and then. I give it a few stacks of dirt, some trunks, some stacks of rail, and then it just falls onto the track?
15:00 parnikkapore  Not MTG carts at least; they don't move properly in unloaded mapblocks
