17:26 shaft https://github.com/minetest-mods/mesecons/pull/683 Two members of the repo are happy about my PR but it's not getting merged. Do I need three or what is going on?
17:32 Talkless joined #minetest
17:35 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> You need a miracle
17:38 shaft Yes, I heard it's a slow repo when I previously needed something merged there.
17:39 shaft Ah yes. When I got rid of some texture duplicates in mesecons to make it easier to texture.
17:48 MTDiscord <wsor4035> i would ask for a group check to be added as an opt out, in case its something with a similar name that i dont want meseconified
17:59 Desour my guess is they just don't merge it instantly, to give other people the opportunity to look at it
17:59 Desour anyways, asking for a merge in the PR should help
17:59 Desour as it goes into their notification box
18:05 sfan5 since shaft is generally unfriendly I will intentionally wait for someone else to merge the PR
18:05 shaft Sorry :(
18:06 sfan5 (it's not that unlikely)
18:07 shaft wsor4035 Why wouldn't they want that? I think if it already has mesecon support the tables are just going to be overwritten. I think a group check is unnecessary and goes against the core purpose of the mod.
18:09 shaft user: I want this door to work with mesecons
18:10 shaft modder: I will put in extra effort, so you can't use it with mesecons
18:12 sfan5 if you register a door that is only meant to be opened by special events, having it work with mesecons would be counterproductive
18:12 sfan5 but dunno if that's covered somehow already
18:12 shaft With special events like a mesecons signal?
18:13 sfan5 no?
18:13 shaft If the land is protected with a protection mods users without permission aren't able to build there thus not able to open the door with mesecons
18:13 shaft if they are able to build there, they can tear down the door or the wall next to it
18:14 sfan5 I am not talking about protection
18:14 sfan5 image a door that opens only if you have an apple in your inventory
18:14 sfan5 imagine*
18:14 MTDiscord <wsor4035> maybe it isnt even a door, but the name happens to match your pattern
18:15 sfan5 the code only works on doors so that can't happen
18:15 sfan5 I think a reasonable behavior would be to not override anything if the door already has a "mesecons" table in its definition
18:16 shaft Wrong! My code uses the doors mod's API! All of those are doors!
18:17 shaft I don't see why it's a problem if the apple door can be opened by mesecons.
18:18 sfan5 you don't see a problem in violating the design intent of the modder?
18:18 MTDiscord <luatic> the author of the apple door mod is now very angry at you and wants to skin you alive because he only wants the apple door to be operable via apples
18:18 shaft You can tear it down too if you have build permissions, so I can violate the design either way.
18:19 shaft Or the wall it's built into
18:19 shaft If I don't have built permissions I can't connect the door.
18:19 shaft with mesecons
18:20 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> I'm pretty sure the very existence of mesecons violates the laws of minetest
18:20 sfan5 there being an unprotected wall is an assumption on your part
18:20 sfan5 anyway I'll implement my suggestion from 5 minutes ago
18:21 shaft You gonna built the wall out of doors too?
18:21 MTDiscord <luatic> You would be surprised
18:22 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> We did that when testing mesecons I think lol
18:22 shaft How do you tear down the wall or doors if there are no build permissions and you misplaced it?
18:22 MTDiscord <luatic> I've seen people build gargantuan prisons out of locked chests because they used to be unbreakable in a certain server lol
18:22 MTDiscord <luatic> s/in/on
18:22 MTDiscord <luatic> (whereas most other blocks, even if protected, were breakable by chance)
18:23 sfan5 (they're called nodes)
18:23 MTDiscord <spectre829> zoinks
18:23 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> https://tenor.com/view/kirby-gasp-sr-pelo-shock-oh-no-gif-7765463656064451947
18:23 shaft bricks
18:23 MTDiscord <luatic> this is what happens when you don't get enough sleep
18:24 MTDiscord <paradust> for nodes they sure do look a lot like blocks
18:25 MTDiscord <paradust> they got 6 sides and everything
18:25 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> The smollest and cubiest drama
18:26 MTDiscord <luatic> bloxels
18:26 MTDiscord <luatic> you've heard of minetest name suggestions, now get ready for node name suggestions
18:26 shaft Now that we call the map chunks map blocks we can call the blocks chunks.
18:26 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> We call them block cubes
18:26 MTDiscord <warr1024> Cubes are just how they are commonly visually represented.  They're just intersection points on a cubic grid.
18:27 MTDiscord <warr1024> We don't call map chunks blocks, we call them chunks.
18:27 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> That's actual a voxel on a voxel voxel
18:27 MTDiscord <warr1024> Don't confuse chunks, blocks, and nodes.
18:27 shaft Honestly I think VoxeLibre is the worst name they could have come up with for Mineclone2.
18:27 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> Sounds like nacho libre
18:27 MTDiscord <luatic> nah it could definitely be worse
18:27 shaft How?
18:27 MTDiscord <warr1024> I'm not sure whether voxelibre is a libre game about voxes, or a voxel game with ibre licensing.
18:28 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> Open Minecraft
18:28 MTDiscord <luatic> cryptocraft AI edition
18:28 MTDiscord <warr1024> Minecraft Trademark Infringement Edition
18:28 MTDiscord <luatic> physics nobel prize be like:
18:28 MTDiscord <luatic> (minus the crypto)
18:29 shaft Open Mine wouldn't even be so bad. You'd still had some part in it that's about the gameplay which consists of digging, placing and crafting.
18:29 shaft mostly
18:31 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> CruftCraft, 7 years of backwards compatibility and beyond
18:34 sfan5 I was just going to ask if anyone has an opinion how backwards-compatible mesecons should be
18:34 sfan5 it still supports the old doors from MTG
18:35 sfan5 which were changed in uhh 2016
18:39 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> No
18:39 kamdard joined #minetest
18:40 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> But this answer was probably as surprising as the sun rising every morning
18:41 MTDiscord <wsor4035> as long as the nodes are being converted via alias/lbm, dont see a point to supporting them
18:44 sfan5 actually
18:44 sfan5 that could be dropped anyway since due to mod.conf mesecons hard-requires at least 5.0 anyway
18:45 sfan5 and this (https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/commit/f600a9f645af40d22c8eb7c17aff89507b71816e) is 0.4.14 territory
18:45 sfan5 wsor4035: they are, yes. this is about (theoretically) grabbing up-to-date mesecons and running it with a MTG from 0.4.14
18:45 sfan5 which is nonsense as I just realized
18:46 MTDiscord <wsor4035> 🙃
18:53 shaft Told you so
18:53 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> You were the chosen one shaft
18:53 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> How could you have let this happen?
18:54 shaft What?
18:54 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> I have no idea but it looks like your changes will be rejected
18:55 shaft What do you mean? They've been accepted. sfan will add a group check he says because he absolutely wants one.
18:55 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> My reverse psychology is working wonders
18:56 shaft I still think there's no use case for it but if he wants one he gets one
18:56 sfan5 not a group check
18:56 sfan5 literally just this https://github.com/minetest-mods/mesecons/commit/ac83dead50bfb59c564c8e52e2bffa8e84d225bc
18:58 TheSilentLink joined #minetest
18:58 shaft I guess you could do that. But remove the log message it's superfluous
18:59 gregon joined #minetest
18:59 tarsovbak joined #minetest
19:00 shaft Or am I allowed to do it?
19:01 sfan5 in the unlikely case that anyone ever wonders why their door was *not* automatically mesecon-enabled it is supposed to aid debugging
19:01 sfan5 so no, you may not remove it
19:02 shaft Yes, it's kinda unlikely and my logs are always full of useless shit.
19:05 shaft Oh it's for the not case
19:05 shaft Then it's okay
19:06 shaft Good work sfan5
