04:31 Blockhead256 I think we can agree that this post https://forum.luanti.org/viewtopic.php?p=440541#p440541 is an AI ripoff of wheat8's right?
04:32 MTDiscord <wsor4035> will give a response when the forum loads in 8 decades
04:33 MTDiscord <wsor4035> ah, good old 504
04:34 Blockhead256 classic
04:35 Blockhead256 well when a brand new account joins and writes a "new game concept" that reads like ChatGPT and wheat8 comments "wow this looks like my idea that I posted yesterday", it could hardly seem more suspicious
04:38 Blockhead256 just wanted a second opinion before I go and banhammer indiscriminately though
04:38 MTDiscord <wsor4035> ill say sure, totally - even tho ive never seen it
04:39 MTDiscord <wsor4035> i suppose worse case if you sucessfully get the forum to load enough to ban them and them to also see the ban status, they can come here and ask
04:40 Blockhead256 yeah that's just it, I doubt such a thing would happen, these AI "writers" are all fly-by-nights
04:40 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> Now now, it was very difficult to type that 7 word prompt

15:34 shaft Where's the linux version of luanti? What's taking so long? Did the name change cause any package names to change?
15:38 MTDiscord <_devsh_> @luatic done
15:53 sfan5 I think you need to ask the people who "make" the linux version, not us.
15:56 shaft rubenwardy made ubuntu releases
15:56 shaft up to 5.9.1
15:57 rubenwardy Launchpad git imports weren't running last I tried
15:59 kamdard_ joined #minetest
15:59 shaft So the site isn't working right?
16:03 shaft sad. I hope you'll get it fixed
16:19 SFENCE joined #minetest
16:28 SFENCE joined #minetest
16:46 MTDiscord <luatic> There do seem to be fresh daily builds (which seem to just be 5.10?): https://launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/+archive/ubuntu/daily-builds
16:48 SFENCE joined #minetest

17:25 NQN joined #minetest
17:26 SFENCE joined #minetest
17:29 NQN hey folks -- i want to do the luanti game jam but I'm somewhat confused about the rules -- it says not to base your entry off and existing game, but does that apply to the core Minetest Game as well? And it says libraries and boilerplate are allowed--does that include using mods? Like if I want mobs, it seems like I would either use the Mobs mod or
17:29 NQN I'd be doing a ton of from-scratch work for a basic feature.
17:37 MTDiscord <mistere_123> You can't use minetest game, but you can use extracted parts of minetest game, such as using the defripper mod to collect the node definitions for decorative nodes from minetest game. You can use the mobs api, but you should use the api with your own custom mobs. Does that make sense?
17:38 NQN yeah. I just found the Void game which claims to contain nothing -- that seems like a decent starting point just to get the directory structure generated for me?
17:39 NQN my idea is way too big to make in the jam time without mixing/matching mods more freely, so I just need to save that idea for later
17:42 gregon joined #minetest
17:43 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> I made an operating system for the last one lol
17:43 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> YOU GO MAKE THAT GAME!
17:43 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> Even if it doesn't get finished, submit it, broken, finish it later
17:43 MTDiscord <warr1024> People have submitted games that were pretty heavily based on MTG in the past (e.g. I think Occupy Moon) and while they haven't been outright disqualified, they did not fare well in the scoring.  "Just another MTG soup" is not what audiences are looking to see in a jam game, and with an existing framework that dominating, it's hard to inject enough real originality in the core gameplay to make it stand out positively.
17:44 NQN can I get an invite link to the Discord? I would have joined the Discord instead of logging onto IRC if I knew  there was one haha
17:45 MTDiscord <warr1024> Anyone can find the Discord invite on https://www.luanti.org/get-involved/
17:45 Krock IRC is the way to go.
17:45 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> We have taken another one of your users
17:46 MTDiscord <warr1024> Chat platform rivalry is a waste of time and energy 😒
17:46 MTDiscord <warr1024> We have the chat bridged because our focus is Luanti first and the chat platforms are just along for the ride.
17:46 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> https://tenor.com/view/dog-puppy-alien-abduction-ufo-chinese-meme-gif-12647093585077850974
17:47 NQN now I'm in the discord and I can't find the bridge channel
17:48 NQN oh maybe because I didn't do the things
17:48 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> You can't access that until you become an elite mod developer supreme
17:48 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> Also you have to talk a lot
17:48 Warr1024 Discord has some conveniences which matter a lot for some users, and very little for others.  It comes with some annoyances, like the platform's constant shilling of paid services, and some risks, like the fact that it's controlled by private parties.  Even if Discord is right for you, definitely remember IRC as at least a fallback.
17:49 MTDiscord <warr1024> Yeah, the bridge channels aren't available immediately to new users to mitigate spambot risk.
17:51 NQN It's been such a long time since I started learning a new engine from scratch. I gotta get over my ego and acknowledge that I know nothing and need to start at the basics
17:52 NQN (pathetic :P )
17:53 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> Well sfan5 and jeija had to teach me how to use the print function so I think you're probably further ahead than that
17:53 NQN I haven't typed any Lua yet
17:53 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> GASP
17:53 NQN I'm just letting myself get overwhelmed and complaining about it
17:54 NQN the journey of a thousand miles starts with astronomical ambition and a full-blown mental breakdown, as they say
17:54 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> https://onecompiler.com/lua/ quickly use the print function
17:55 MTDiscord <luatic> jordan: i never want to see onecompiler.com again
17:56 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> Fine twocompiler.com
17:56 MTDiscord <luatic> https://tenor.com/view/agony-gif-23084585
17:57 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> I usually just use gdb online when I need to translate C to fortran and double check
17:57 fluxionary joined #minetest
17:58 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> But I have used that onecompiler when writing bits of scrap code, what is wrong with it?
17:58 MTDiscord <luatic> i vaguely remember it being shit for lua. (also their branding really puts me off)
17:59 MTDiscord <jordan4ibanez> Well dang, you gotta try real hard to mess up the simplest scripting language

20:40 shaft @luatic yes but I use the stable branch. I don't suddenly want to be updated to some dev version
20:41 shaft In terms of Flatpak vs Appimage I prefer AppImage too. https://github.com/An0n3m0us/Minetest-AppImages/releases showed it's possible to build appimages of minetest
20:41 shaft *Luanti

22:59 TLuna joined #minetest
23:20 erle Mantar you might want to specify if you think of the voxel light value or dynamic shadows
