Time Nick Message 01:01 MTDiscord Haha, holy shit, those things retail for over twice the cost of the entire computer I play MT on. 01:04 cheapie I paid about half of the MSRP for this, it's a used one. 01:06 MTDiscord It also depends entirely on the brand you buy .. those go anywhere between $150 and $500 01:06 cheapie Initially I was going to go for an RX 6400, but this wasn't a whole lot more than those go for, so *shrug* 01:08 cheapie My list of requirements was more or less: a decent amount faster than an RX 550, at least two DP outputs *or* 1 DP + 1 HDMI, and not made by Nvidia. This seems to be meeting that well. 01:13 MTDiscord I have an RX 6700 and it has served me well 01:15 cheapie I saw that one in the list too, IIRC the prices for that model were higher than I wanted to pay. The models above that one are too, and those also have the added bit that they draw more power than I would like. 04:15 Mantar hey if I symlink a texture under a different name, would a server send it to clients twice? 04:20 MTDiscord just guessing, but probably. seems easy enough to test 04:21 MTDiscord symlink texture1.png to texture2.png, make two nodes that use the textures respectively and see if they both are fine 04:22 Mantar oh it reads the symlink fine, but I wanted to know, if I do it with a bunch of textures, are they gonna get transmitted twice to every client that connects? 04:23 Mantar trying to decide whether to use symlinks as a cheap patch, or go ahead and rework an ugly mess of a subsystem not long before I do a release 04:24 Mantar I'd rather not risk introducing bugs, but down slowing server connections for nothing sucks too 04:25 Mantar *slowing down 04:33 Blockhead256 spam reports continue 04:33 Blockhead256 this one is just chatGPT https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=439615#p439615 04:34 Blockhead256 I'd also like to report this post as "not french" https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=31021 05:35 v-rob Looks like AI generated: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=439615#p439615 05:36 v-rob Oh, someone already posted, sorry 05:36 MTDiscord wow, i hope we add normal maps 05:37 MTDiscord >"Collaboration breeds creativity, and in the Minetest forum, we build worlds together" geometry dashFav quote 05:37 MTDiscord is this even a real quote 05:37 MTDiscord Oh nice, they inserted a hidden link 05:37 MTDiscord hence the "geometry dash" 05:39 v-rob That's an impressively small link 05:39 v-rob Pretty sure Minetest used to support normal mapping as part of bump mapping, but it was removed for some reason 05:42 v-rob Yeah, removed in #10487 05:42 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/10487 -- Remove all bump mapping and parallax occlusion related code. by lhofhansl 05:42 MTDiscord Unfortunately, as an AI assistant, I am unable to add normal mapping support to your game "Minetest". How else may I be of assistance? 05:43 MTDiscord i couldn't do that as a human assistant either, honestly 06:59 Mantar it was removed because it was all kinds of busted and wrong 09:29 MTDiscord sfan5: cosmicmt seems to be artificially increasing their player count? 1st screenshot: minetest server list 2nd screenshot: the list.json (https://servers.minetest.net/list.json ) 3rd screenshot: /status (hopefully you can see the images from irc in order, sorry if they are insanely long links, discord is like that) 09:29 MTDiscord https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/749727888659447960/1291331357456203787/image.png?ex=66ffb58b&is=66fe640b&hm=de49f2c4579d163294125e28186d432185d0142379631a69a62bb1a53b60e0e0& 09:29 MTDiscord https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/749727888659447960/1291331358022696970/image.png?ex=66ffb58b&is=66fe640b&hm=1b5601e9d4d3fbc06f61b9888e230b11b1d9874f4dc0ecbcb30615c16742883f& 09:29 MTDiscord https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/749727888659447960/1291331358366634014/image.png?ex=66ffb58b&is=66fe640b&hm=b932fbaa4078f88af7d4179b0842f84501ad5539da8c554744d9242f93b75c60& 09:31 MTDiscord https://tenor.com/view/bender-futurama-neat-wow-gif-5744318 09:32 MTDiscord Someone's trying to get on the top of the server board 09:37 MinetestBot 02[git] 04grorp -> 03minetest/minetest: Fix hypertext action firing twice on touchscreen (#15217) 13eefaef5 https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/eefaef53b71730d94d0027568053679939ccca8a (152024-10-03T09:36:48Z) 09:37 MinetestBot 02[git] 04grorp -> 03minetest/minetest: Setting structure improvements (#15218) 13132e433 https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/132e43346e1029253e1f3e04ab445cd053e3c226 (152024-10-03T09:37:04Z) 09:39 MinetestBot 02[git] 04grorp -> 03minetest/minetest: Fix incorrect SMaterial::operator!= (regression from #15165) (#15226) 133eef1ca https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/3eef1ca28f05b13adf71b2486d2650ef125239df (152024-10-03T09:37:14Z) 12:32 MTDiscord Yeah I see this too. They hide clients_list and use fixed clients field 12:43 sfan5 fixed 13:12 MTDiscord it still appears like that on my minetest client though 13:13 MTDiscord does the server list like need some time to refresh 13:13 MTDiscord You applied static points value to it or something? 13:15 MTDiscord i mean i think the best fix is to just kick them out of the server list lol 13:19 MTDiscord They could start complaining and kindle loud drama or something 13:20 MTDiscord for what, for them inflating their player count and expecting that to stay 🤣 13:20 MTDiscord *stay up 13:23 MTDiscord i mean its probably not a good idea to kick them out for eternity but like maybe for 5 days 13:27 MTDiscord edit: nvm i see, you have downgraded their ranking 14:10 sfan5 yea 16:34 Krock Happy birthday to me. 🎉.
