23:19 ireallyhateirc I was thinking about wsor4035's reply regarding node limit: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/6101
23:20 ireallyhateirc the proposed node texture variant solution to my combined walls problem has one disadvantage: nodes losing identity
23:21 ireallyhateirc so I could for example define a generic "wall" node and stuff multiple texture variants into it
23:24 ireallyhateirc I'm not entirely sure if there's a limit of variant_count in that PR, it appears to be encoded as int?
23:26 ireallyhateirc In the case of my example with 100 wall types each wall node would have 100 variants
23:30 ireallyhateirc Then comes the problem of reading these texture variants in a Voxel Manipulator. The PR adds "param2_variant" and I'm not entirely sure what that is. But afaik param2 has 8 bits so it can represent 256 unique states. That would imply that at best I can read 256 node texture variants in a VM
23:33 ireallyhateirc hmmm I think I get it now "Nodes can specify a part of param2 to read as the variant number by setting the `param2_variant` field to a `BitField`."
23:34 ireallyhateirc So the number of alternative textures depends on on param2type and free bits
23:35 ireallyhateirc I guess in the end I'd choke on nodes losing their identity rather than hit the max node limit
23:35 MTDiscord      <luatic> nodes won't have an identity crisis
23:36 MTDiscord      <luatic> their identity just becomes content id + param2 (always has been to some extent tbh)
23:42 ireallyhateirc nothing stops me from doing a general "wall" node with 256 texture variants at this point though
23:42 ireallyhateirc well maybe only the fact that the PR hasn't been merged yet
23:44 ireallyhateirc and as long as I can read that in a VM it's all good
