01:47 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> no guys, it's not a launcher, it's a windows installer. It gets run once and then the program is installed, and for convenience it might open it immediately afterwards
01:48 user333_ i was half right then
01:48 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> a launcher is a program that you launch before you launch the real program, also known as a complete waste of time unless the software is complicated to install
01:48 user333_ sfan5 used the wrong term i assume?
01:48 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> yes, a mistake
01:49 darylsun joined #luanti
01:49 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> good programs like notepad++ can just update themselves from within the program. Bad programs like M*necr*ft use the launcher as an excuse to hype you for buying more product before they let you play their product
01:50 user333_ thankfully pirating m1necr@ft is somewhat easier because you just need a modified launcher ;)
01:50 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> pirating Luanti is pretty easy
01:51 silverwolf73827 joined #luanti
01:51 user333_ yeah, you just need to press 2 buttons and you have it for free
01:52 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> hahaha they finally deleted Luanti 5.2 on Microsoft Store it looks like
01:52 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> that was $5 iirc
01:52 user333_ what
01:52 user333_ why
01:52 user333_ who would charge for it
01:52 user333_ you can get it for free RIGHT HERE: https://www.luanti.org/en/downloads/
01:53 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> someone who wants money. I mean there's no rule against it. And maybe it worked for someone who was stck in windows S Mode
01:53 user333_ so basically you pay them to get an obsolete version of a free game engine
01:53 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> yeah the worst part is they never even updated it lol
01:54 user333_ i mean it's the same idea as putting a free linux distro (like debian) on a usb and selling it
01:55 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> anyway Minecr*ft people are used to using a launcher for keeping different modded instances, where the launcher downloads all the mods in the pack for you

01:55 user333_ i could put a link to a pirated copy of minecraft right here
01:55 mrcheese lol

01:55 user333_ but i wont
01:55 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> it would be nice if something like this https://gist.github.com/shrimpza/257edfa331eb9fc90524ac863d84ff34 were in the GUI
01:55 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> yeah please don't, DMCA
01:56 lumidify_ joined #luanti
01:56 mrcheese ;-;
01:57 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> the main problem with pirated Minecraft is you can only play multiplayer with friends who run it in offline mode, or offline mod servers with all the kinds of people who play on those servers...
01:57 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> *offline mode
01:58 user333_ yeah i found that rq, i wanted to join a MC server and advertise luanti lol
01:58 mrcheese LOL
01:58 mrcheese how to be set on fire in the MC community
01:59 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> I think it's slightly funny to censor M1n3cr**t anyway :P
01:59 user333_ and the companies that own it
01:59 mrcheese yea lol
01:59 user333_ like M!cr0s0ft
02:00 mrcheese M!c0sofτ
02:00 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> Micro$oft
02:03 user333_ M!cr0$0ft

09:30 sfan5 user333_: I wasn't sure whether to call it an installer or launcher because it's not like the usual installer *or* launcher
09:30 sfan5 but I guess @Blockhead256 is right that it's an installer
09:30 sfan5 just a silent one

17:21 jonadab SwissalpS: Oh, _nice_
17:28 jonadab I guess I should update, then :-)
17:31 SwissalpS for that and many other improvements ;)
17:32 celeron55 that's june 2023 = 5.13, right?
17:32 celeron55 wait no, not even close
17:32 celeron55 5.8
17:33 SwissalpS yeah it sure has been a while, long enough that I can say "it works" :D
17:36 jonadab Yeah, yeah, I haven't updated in a while.  I'll do that soon.
17:39 celeron55 an old version being worth using is a compliment to the project. many pieces of software have a fairly short shelf life
17:40 SwissalpS true, true
17:40 celeron55 but i do still hope you find the new version better 8-)

21:42 jonadab Hmm, updating seems to have made minetestmapper not exist.  Has it been renamed, or do I need to change my build script to ensure it gets built still, or what?
21:43 jonadab (The version I was previously using, was before the name change to "luanti"...)
21:46 rubenwardy platform?
21:46 rubenwardy oh are you expecting this as part of building Luanti?
21:47 jonadab Oh, I see, it's a separate repo.  Hmm, is that a change?
21:47 jonadab Nevermind, I'll figure it out from there.
21:47 jonadab (Platform is Devuan as it happens, but that's probably irrelevant here.)
21:47 rubenwardy yeah there used to be a version in the Luanti engine repo but it was removed
21:47 rubenwardy it's now a separate repo
21:48 jonadab Ok, I'll just grab that repo too, and either adjust my existing build script or add a second one for just the mapper.
21:48 jonadab Minor adjustments.
22:14 SFENCE joined #luanti
22:28 jonadab Hmm.  I may need to update my world, to use it with this new version.  That may be why the mapper is getting an exception, too.
22:28 jonadab Something about sqlite 3.  I will look into it later.
22:34 rubenwardy joined #luanti
22:39 sfan5 i mean the time when minetestmapper was part of the repo is long gone
22:40 sfan5 0.4.x
22:40 jonadab Oh, hmm.
22:40 jonadab Dunno, maybe I was using an old version of it?
22:40 jonadab But I'm confused about where it went then, dunno.
22:41 jonadab I seem to have already had a (not-up-to-date) local copy of the minetestmapper repo, but lacked a build script for it, until now.  Dunno what that means about how I was using it.
22:42 sfan5 dunno
22:42 sfan5 either way you just need this https://github.com/luanti-org/minetestmapper
22:44 jonadab Oh, hmm.
22:44 jonadab That is not the same repo that I have.  Or, at least, not at the same address.
22:45 jonadab Probably because I cloned the repo before the term "luanti" was coined.
22:45 jonadab Let me see if that makes any difference.
22:47 jonadab Yeah, that was not the issue though.  Wouldn't have explained the error the new version of the server is giving me, in any case.
22:47 jonadab I'll look into the sqlite3 thing later, and the mod dependency warnings (which shouldn't have changed...)

23:51 cheapie wsor4035: that was fast
23:52 MTDiscord <wsor4035> what happens when im around and its a sane/not stupid request
23:52 cheapie Initially I wasn't really going to bother (I could use the positive non-reviews anyway :P) but it was getting annoying :P
23:53 MTDiscord <wsor4035> we need the your a dumbass song for people who make bug reports as reviews despite the banner above review literally telling you not to do so
23:54 MTDiscord <wsor4035> to be fair to the person in question, this was more for questions and making a cdb thread isnt the most obvious thing
