03:55 Mantar     Had a super weird error just now, anybody seen this happen before? createSector(): pos. over max mapgen limit
03:55 Mantar     happened in the timer for a torch
04:30 Mantar     huh https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/11835
16:59 jonadab    I like how the people who are confident the bug is real, consistently refuse to provide steps-to-reproduce that don't require modifying the server-side game code.
16:59 jonadab    It's like they're actively *trying* to prevent the devs from believing them.
17:01 jonadab    (If a modified _client_ were required to reproduce, then I could see an argument that, yeah, of course, griefers will do that.  But the only steps-to-reproduce given required modified server-side code.)
19:39 Bombo      oy vey 5.8.0 \o/
21:38 Mantar     jonadab: yeah, a little annoying that that's the only reference to the bug that crashed my server yesterday
22:16 jonadab    Mantar: Indeed.  Your sighting suggests the existence of a real bug, but with it happening once, on a server, you probably didn't get steps to reproduce.
22:16 jonadab    Which is a bummer.
22:21 Mantar     Yeah I have no idea how it happened, unless somebody was using a hacked client. Basically a torch node tried to check its conditions but was outside map boundaries?
22:21 ROllerozxa uh, wasn't that the bug that could be used to crash servers with carefully crafted packets
22:31 LizzyFleck which one
22:31 LizzyFleck (there were several)
22:31 LizzyFleck there was the register race condition and the teleporting out of bounds one and probably others as well
22:32 ROllerozxa #11835 was mentioned earlier today
22:32 ShadowBot  https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/11835 -- InvalidPositionException in src/map.cpp is not caught, making it possible for players to crash the server
22:51 lizzie     Hi, I'm working on my second minetest mod (for nodecore).  My first mod mostly only did node related manipulations in the direct vicinity around player actions, so I didn't worry about loaded/unloaded mapblocks, but I'm wondering, what happens if get_node and/or set_node are called on an unloaded part of the world?
22:55 Mantar     get_node will return "ignore" nodes
22:55 Mantar     don't recall if set_node will cause it to load the area or not
23:11 lizzie     ignore nodes?  is that a node where the name string is "ignore"?
23:12 MTDiscord  <rollerozxa> yes, it's a technical node with the literal itemstring ignore
23:12 MTDiscord  <rollerozxa> is said to exist in any not currently loaded mapblock
23:13 lizzie     cool, that should be manageable
23:13 lizzie     thanks!
