07:33 celeron55   i didn't really read the entire discussion, but i have one thing to say: don't underestimate the immersion you get by making players do stuff in-world instead of in-UI
07:34 celeron55   of course rpgs have a long tradition of being a spreadsheet with fantasy graphics
11:35 MTDiscord   <luatic> Agreed big time about in-world stuff

19:52 ilikecats   Hello. Does anybody know if it's possible to disable rendering blocks and entities?
19:52 Krock       ilikecats: I believe the "disable camera update" keybinding was removed a while ago
19:52 Krock       > keymap_toggle_update_camera (Toggle camera update) key
19:53 Krock       you have to assign it manually
19:56 Krock       nearby mapblocks will still be rendered, so simply teleport out of sight
19:56 ilikecats   Alright, I'll try that. Thanks
20:04 sfan5       i think that won't stop entities from rendering
20:05 ilikecats   Yeah, entities are still rendering. Now that I think of it, this is probably a bit of an XY problem.
20:07 ilikecats   I've been toying with a CSM I found that simulates LIDAR-style raycasting (shoots out a grid of rays and marks where it hit with a particle)
20:08 ilikecats   And I want to make the game stop rendering anything but the particles. I'm hoping I don't have to edit the code, but I am able to if there's no way.
20:09 sfan5       you will have to
20:10 ilikecats   Ok then. I'll try that. If I can't figure out how, would I ask here or #luanti-dev?
