Time Nick Message 01:47 nikaaaa hi, i just thought of a new name for the minetest game  engine, in case the discussion is still open: minesaft. 01:48 nikaaaa it doesn't really mean much, but it sounds funny :p 01:57 big-MAC VoxelCraft sounds like a good name 02:00 cheapie I decided to do a bit more work on this mod, got a few more little bits working: https://cheapiesystems.com/media/2024-04-04%2020-57-06.webm 02:02 cheapie Still needs a COP, car doors, and a few bug fixes before it'll even really be /usable/, plus a lot more after that to get to something resembling "done" 02:20 Mantar VoxelCraft is boring, and makes it sound even more like a generic minecraft ripoff than Minetest does 02:34 big-MAC you arent seeing the big picture, the name being similar to minecraft will act as an interest point for those who dont know and draw them in 02:35 big-MAC has a name not been decided yet? i saw this naming change decision was mentioned months ago 02:43 Mantar devs voted on it recently, no announcement was made 02:45 big-MAC whatever the name is as long as there is either "mine" or "craft" in it then there is hope 02:46 Mantar then "Minetest" is fine, as it has that, and nearly 20 years of building up some semblance of name recognition 02:47 big-MAC why did they want a name change anyways? 02:47 Mantar and I wouldn't be surprised if the devs voted to keep the name as is, because most of the suggested names were either not any better (like VoxelCraft) or much worse 02:48 Mantar it's been a perennial thing, people say the name is bad, sounds like a poor Minecraft knockoff, and should be changed. there's a forum topic, a github issue, even a parody forum topic where people suggest silly names 02:49 Mantar I wouldn't mind a name change, but only if somebody had come up with something good 02:50 big-MAC well minetest out of the box is already very different from minecraft anyways so people would be put off 02:51 big-MAC because of that 02:51 Mantar pretty much. that's one reason they debundled Minetest Game, it gave a bad first impression. 09:10 MTDiscord is freeminer a good thing? 09:43 MTDiscord is this real chat? 10:08 Ingar it is a fantasy! 10:18 MTDiscord no way 10:27 MTDiscord make it appimage plz 10:28 MTDiscord <3 10:28 MTDiscord txtxtxtxtx 11:00 MinetestBot 02[git] 04sfan5 -> 03minetest/minetest: Fix GLES shader precision issues (#14516) 13a9a0f1e https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/a9a0f1e12950f099b9fb753c02f993e43e183a2d (152024-04-05T11:00:10Z) 11:00 MinetestBot 02[git] 04grorp -> 03minetest/minetest: Fix all cached media being loaded at once on the main thread 13b2982a6 https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/b2982a6f14fd9d016e5750044b8908592ecbd756 (152024-04-05T11:00:21Z) 11:00 MinetestBot 02[git] 04grorp -> 03minetest/minetest: Fix local server startup and shutdown blocking the main thread 13fd8e021 https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/fd8e02195ea1c44f93a18f18e1e850c71ff0d33b (152024-04-05T11:00:21Z) 11:00 MinetestBot 02[git] 04sfan5 -> 03minetest/minetest: Keep empty servers at bottom of list (#14511) 134e1679d https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/4e1679d2a25304ee5fb4a746fea398d220edeb5e (152024-04-05T11:00:34Z) 11:03 MinetestBot 02[git] 04Emojigit -> 03minetest/minetest: Allow optional actor ObjectRef value in node interaction calls (#14505) 132d8e4df https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/2d8e4df7bc72e6f8855efbebff6da5a2d00c81c4 (152024-04-05T11:00:50Z) 12:19 Sokomine why's .github/workflows/lua_api_deploy.yml so annoying these times? now i get complaints about that file again. not that i ever consciously changed that in my local version :-( 12:31 MTDiscord app :P
