05:50 Blockhead256 joke mod idea: me giveme able to remove with negative numbers, and make it check for a stack and set a negative amount if present :)
05:50 Blockhead256 *me giveme->make giveme
05:50 Blockhead256 actually, hilariously, negative numbers currently get re-interpreted as unsigned values
05:51 Blockhead256 if you /giveme -1 of something and already have none, you get 65535 of it
13:40 serp         an unsigned value being stored in a signed integer ? :)
13:40 MTDiscord    <luatic> other way around, a signed integer being converted to an unsigned value
13:41 serp         isn't that saying the same thing
13:43 MTDiscord    <luatic> serp: the way i understood your statement was unsigned -> signed, while signed -> unsigned is happening
13:44 serp         perhaps i said it weird...  meant the value (the number in the stack on the client side) is being stored on the backend by a signed integer.
14:05 MTDiscord    <luatic> the minetest engine internally uses a 16-bit unsigned integer to keep track of item counts, lua numbers are 64-bit floats. converting -1 to a 16-bit unsigned integer is what is probably happening here, to be precise.
14:26 serp         oh i see.. i was backwards then
