00:01 user333_ allright, now i know what to put in my game's min_minetest_version field
00:02 user333_ hmm, a tool that scans through a game/mod and finds the min_minetest_version of it would be useful... +1 thing to make
00:03 user333_ the concept at least is simple
00:03 MTDiscord <wsor4035> or just officially support the last two version like most do 🤷
00:04 user333_ yea but what about those ppl stuck on their distro's out of date packages
00:04 MTDiscord <wsor4035> flatpack, appimages, etc exist 🤷
00:05 user333_ not to the non-technical user
00:05 MTDiscord <wsor4035> the first is rather common
00:05 user333_ though most linux users know how to use flatpak or appimages...
00:11 dzho joined #luanti
00:33 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> there's people out there, probably put on linux by their younger family members, who would just have all their stuff from their distro's GUI package store program and be using flatpak (or snap :| )without realising
00:34 user333_ don't say the s word Blockhead
00:35 user333_ aka *gulp* snap

01:43 cheapie [17:29:45] <VE-Creative> <2424barrier> they should really make a digiline toilet mod
01:43 cheapie so anyway this exists now https://cheapiesystems.com/git/digitoilet/
01:45 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> it only takes input? I need it to send output when it's manually flushed, it's very important for my prison
01:45 cheapie It currently does not support being manually flushed
01:45 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> ahh, I need my digiphone app
01:46 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> I guess I can do it with a mesecons lever into a luacontroller
01:47 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> but this is the era of machine learning and big data, I need info out about the contents of the flush
01:47 user333_ "digitoilet" i read that and started laughing XD
01:47 cheapie Blockhead256: You'll have to get erle to make that poop mod first for that
01:47 user333_ oh right
01:47 user333_ poop armor too
01:48 cheapie I already installed one of these toilets in another player's mall restroom on VE-C, I set it up with a player detector and a LuaC, programmed to activate the bidet when anyone gets close to it and flush (with overflow) when they walk away
02:03 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> it's available in Spanish too :D
02:05 cheapie Yes, it only has three strings so I figured I might as well
02:07 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> is (you hacker you) a dead meme?
02:07 cheapie I use it sometimes (see celevator, digistuff, etc.) but didn't feel like it here
02:09 MTDiscord <wsor4035> Heh, that git should be flushed down the toliet on mobile
02:14 cheapie wsor4035: Oops, I had copied that license file from celevator and forgot celevator had that extra line. Attempting to fix it now, at least once ContentDB decides to behave
02:15 cheapie Right now it's sitting on "Status: pending or unknown", so... maybe it'll work eventually
02:28 cheapie There, it finally finished. Dunno why it takes that long for it to download 4kB
02:52 MTDiscord <wsor4035> dont really give a crap if you make a new release or not if source control + auto releases are set up
02:53 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> hehe
02:53 cheapie ...pun intended?
02:53 MTDiscord <wsor4035> yes and no
02:54 MTDiscord <wsor4035> i was going to say it anyways, but it also fit right in 😏
02:55 MTDiscord <wsor4035> as for why it took so long, not sure, but iirc making new releases is put into the worker queue, so its handled once one is free? could be full of shit tho
02:57 cheapie I guess now to see if anyone bothers downloading this crap :D
02:58 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> [joke] [machines/electronics] not sure how often those two go together
02:58 MTDiscord <wsor4035> i mean, its realitively easy to bot cdb download stats
02:58 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> to make number go up? oh yeah, because you can make so much money that way
02:59 MTDiscord <wsor4035> i hear they make a pill for that :juanchi_face:
03:00 cheapie Blockhead256: If I made a mod for every nonsense thing I did those tags would go together all the time
03:00 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> true, more often it's individual installations though
03:01 MTDiscord <wsor4035> anyways, even the most stupid mods end up getting around >500 downloads in around a year
03:01 MTDiscord <wsor4035> 1k seems to be the ceiling for dumb ones that dont get picked up
03:02 MTDiscord <wsor4035> hint for anyone reading, keep releasing updates, it will keep your score up in ranking, and thus search results which is a self fullfilling thing because then more people will see your mod and consider downloading vs it being near the bottom
03:03 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> fairly sure that's common practice in places like roblox
03:03 MTDiscord <wsor4035> usually the dumb mods dont really ever do updates, probably leads to the not really breaking 1k
03:03 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> last time I was browsing their game list (never actually launched it, they hate linux), it was all seasonal titles
03:03 MTDiscord <wsor4035> course this is just all just observation numbers from me, nothing scientific - could be proven wrong
03:04 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> I do expect https://content.luanti.org/packages/Blockhead/baby_sun/ to get a dropoff. Of course, every time I mention it...
03:04 cheapie I do indeed "game" things a bit with celevator that way
03:04 cheapie IIRC multiple downloads from the same IP only count if they're at least a week apart, which is why I don't normally release celevator updates closer together than that unless there's some major bug
03:05 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> ah, you're just doing agile right, weekly sprints :P
03:06 cheapie There's actually a celevator update (fixes some minor bugs and one "not really a bug but kinda confusing" thing, improves the Spanish translation) planned for tomorrow so long as it doesn't blow up on VE-C before then
03:07 cheapie Which reminds me, I need to make a new promo video for celevator sometime, it's changed in visible ways since the previous one
03:11 cheapie In other news, there's also some road work going on in Bonnthal, including one work zone with a "LOOSE GRAVEL | PHOTO ENFORCED" sign in it. If you remove the gravel (or replace it with something else) it prints out a ticket with a 1500MG fine
03:13 MTDiscord <wsor4035> so what happens if i just worldedit it out of existance? 🤔
03:13 MTDiscord <wsor4035> do i get a ticket?
03:13 cheapie It uses a node detector, so unless you WE the machine out too you'll still get a ticket
03:13 MTDiscord <wsor4035> i assume it uses nearest?
03:14 MTDiscord <wsor4035> so if i teleport some sole in closer and then nuke it 🤔
03:14 cheapie It just uses a digilines printer and spits it out as an item in the general area of the gravel
03:14 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> you need to have people's registered postal addresses and send the the tickets there
03:14 cheapie Just like the cameras IRL, it doesn't know or care who actually committed the offense
03:35 Sheriff_U3 joined #luanti
03:37 Sheriff_U3 I'm working on a survival game, what sort of features/options do you all think a good survival game needs? I'm not trying to clone any one game, kinda just combine the best parts of each.

13:05 Krock !tell Sheriff_U3 @ Survival game: How about a new approach? Have multiple companions (NPC) and guide them through a Bloons Tower Defense-like map. Level up their HP and shielding capabilities, perhaps even attack capabilities. Is that survival?
13:05 MinetestBot Krock: I'll pass that on when Sheriff_U3 is around
