07:30 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> re luajit: actually, certain entries in the 0.4.x series did test for too-old versions of LuaJIT and refuse to compile for them (except the test wasn't perfect, so it was eventually removed anyway lul)

11:18 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> how do you detect the exact position of a click in formspecs? do you just make a giant grid of buttons or something
11:31 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> a click could be the space or enter key if the user is a keyboard power user
11:35 Elouin joined #luanti
11:52 erle birdlover32767 Blockhead256 it's the same shit as web stuff again, i think. people hate abstractions.
11:52 erle “nooo, don't give me AUX1, give me THE EXACT KEY so i can ruin the experience for anyone who doesn't have the same layout as the developers”
11:54 SwissalpS who uses a mouse?! :p
11:54 SwissalpS joystick and rotary button is all you need
12:06 Krock I prefer using the steering wheel input

18:30 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> i tried the new array textures and on mtg skygrid the fps seemed to be the same
18:32 sfan5 you need to switch the video driver to opengl3
18:35 Krock @birdlover32767 Check the PR for testing instructions. Use the F6 profiler information to confirm that it's being used.
18:59 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> also somehow i segfaulted
19:01 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> skygrid is 10% faster
19:01 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> and VE-C spawn is 10x faster
19:02 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> okay, well it seems like 5x

20:53 ireallyhateirc I'm having a hard time deciding on the engine for my game. For now I'm using Luanti, but I'm considering using Godot instead, because the success of my game heavily depends on graphics and features Luanti doesn't have yet (volumetric fog with noise textures, colored lights, materials, etc.) The problem is that I'm more familiar with Luanti and voxels provide some advantages. The game is going to feature a procedurally
20:53 ireallyhateirc generated city and voxels make the task easier (using modular prefabs). Voxels would also allow modders who can't do 3D modeling to make their own buildings and put them as mods for the game. With Godot I'd probably need to rewrite all that map generation and dynamic loading logic.
20:53 MTDiscord <nathan4220776> I think the best thing to do would be to make your own engine, starting from OpenGL.
20:54 ireallyhateirc That would take a lot of time and is far beyond my level
20:54 MTDiscord <nathan4220776> I know. That's the joke. ;)
20:54 ireallyhateirc lol, you got me
20:55 SFENCE joined #luanti
20:57 ireallyhateirc Yeah so I have two choices: 1. use Luanti and be on the devs' mercy to implement the features I need in a reasonable timeframe 2. learn Godot and suffer by writing low-level mapgen code and modeling not-so-modular prefabs in Blender
20:59 rubenwardy I would recommend using Godot if you need full flexibility
20:59 rubenwardy Either that or learn c++ and modify the engine
21:02 ireallyhateirc hmmm each path has suffering in it :D

22:59 rubenwardy website translation is now live! https://www.luanti.org/sv/

23:48 erle rubenwardy so redirect based on accept-language i guess?
23:48 rubenwardy that's https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti-org.github.io/issues/365
23:48 rubenwardy currently / always redirects to /en/
23:49 erle oh i see
23:49 rubenwardy also worth noting that Google and Bing understand translated sites. So in a bit, if you search for Luanti in French it'll show /fr/ as the top result
23:49 erle i think if the resources are equivalent, it should not even have a separate URL, but for that you do actually need equivalence ig
23:50 rubenwardy perhaps. The problem is that it requires JS to do that and search engines suck at understanding it
23:50 cheapie erle: I like the idea of the user being able to manually select a language too, or to provide a link that will always be in a specific language
23:51 erle rubenwardy it would be news to me if you needed js for content negotiation. or is that a constraint of the hosting solution?
23:51 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> the website is a static site hosted on github pages
23:51 erle oh i see
23:51 erle unfun
23:52 cheapie Especially because I've seen sites screw up Accept-Language parsing before and give me my /last/ choice even though they had my first one too
23:52 erle cheapie it depends what kind of content you have. stuff like wikipedia has explicitly selectable languages because the content is not equivalent.
23:52 rubenwardy ContentDB does content negotation, that's possible (and easy) because it has a backend
23:53 erle cheapie if you have “let me select a language because you suck at accept header parsing” you are sidestepping another problem.
23:53 cheapie FWIW I provide en-US,en;q=0.7,es;q=0.3
23:53 cheapie erle: It's just one of a few reasons that you might want to manually select one
23:54 MTDiscord <rollerozxa> I don't think anyone is suggesting to completely remove the language dropdown
23:54 erle every “i don't think anyone is suggesting” will surely be followed by a contrarian who will suggest just that :P
23:54 rubenwardy It's quite annoying when I'm visiting Germany and websites decide to ignore my Accept-Languages and instead serve me German
23:54 erle yeah, ip-based language things fucking suck
23:55 erle especially when people have preferences
23:55 cheapie "should be fine, people never move internationally, ever"
23:55 erle a friend of mine wants british english, but metric units. i think the most reliable way of doing this is pretending to be in ireland.
23:55 cheapie erle: Similar boat to me there, I want US English but metric units
23:56 MTDiscord <wsor4035> dont like football fields squared? :p
23:56 cheapie not particularly
23:56 user333_ what a standard unit
23:56 rubenwardy luckily most places have options for metric units. I also prefer English English and metric units
23:56 erle cheapie i did once got rid of a very persistent asshole who had it out for me by serving different content for a single web page for his country.
23:56 erle english english!
23:57 erle en-en
23:57 erle i prefer german english, en-de
23:57 erle :P
23:57 rubenwardy Denglisch
23:57 cheapie This reminds me, whenever I work on celevator some more, I need to add translation support to that
23:58 cheapie Especially since it seems like half of the users are German for whatever reason
23:58 MTDiscord <wsor4035> my view on translation is im lazy and if someone cares they will pr support for it :p
23:58 cheapie Mine has always been "I don't have the resources for that" but I've had some people offer to help with the German translations at least
23:59 MTDiscord <wsor4035> ironically you could say my most popular library is a translation one of sorts
23:59 * cheapie gives erle a node labeled "Aufzugsfrequenzumrichter"
