00:19 MTDiscord <luatic> happy new year everyone, may our features be plenty and their behavior well-defined
00:19 MTDiscord Command sent from Discord by luatic:

00:25 ireallyhateirc happy new year
00:45 mrcheese happy new year!
01:07 [MatrxMT] <repetitivestrain> Happy New Year
01:08 user333_ still 3 hours to go here
01:39 Blockhead256 joined #luanti
01:48 Blockhead256 ain't nobody paying for MTG. I mean, you need to buy all the DLC to make it good anyway
02:18 Blockhead256 it's amazing how much stuff a minetest.conf accumulates over years, the more games and mods the merrier and even stuff you were developing that never saw the light of day
02:19 bgstack15 That's ok, that's what comments are for, so you know which experiments you can remove.
02:19 bgstack15 Oh, and buying all the DLCs: some games appear to exist by doing that: nickel-and-diming for every single little thing
02:19 Blockhead256 for a parody of that idea, play the game "DLC Quest"
02:21 Blockhead256 (you don't pay for the "DLCs" with real money, just in-game money)
02:22 Blockhead256 huh, the game used to come with some popular servers like ruben and vanessa's servers as favourites? or is that just a test of a legacy favourite save?
03:41 user333_ 15 minutes to new year here
03:41 user333_ more like 20
03:42 user333_ o7 2025, you served me well

12:48 Blockhead256 scalpel and photorec (both compiled from source btw) have failed me, but the manual hex editor method has finally found me the blend files I was after
12:51 sfan5 photorec et al may not know what a blend file looks like
12:55 Elouin joined #luanti
12:56 Blockhead256 photorec doesn't yes. Scalpel actually does have a blender rule, though it's wrong, but then scalpel always segfaults part way through
12:56 Blockhead256 photorec didn't find any luanti-related PNGs anyway
12:57 Blockhead256 *I wrote my own scalpel and photorec rule files btw
12:59 Blockhead256 on my test loopback partition, scalpel keep looking through empty byes and instead of finding my ~20 test files, it found like "4000" files, mostly overlapped...
12:59 Blockhead256 s/byes/bytes
14:10 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> cant wait for 0.6.0!
14:11 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> in 2026

17:17 user333_ my game is really starting to look polished https://filebin.net/qk2l6duv67ctrt8f/screenshot_20260101_131448.png
17:23 user333_ the code on the other hand... is a nightmare
17:24 user333_ i cant namespace it because the two primary mods are tied together
17:24 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> I'm trying to clean my games code
17:24 user333_ which means almost all variables and functions are globals ;-;
17:25 user333_ dont be like me, keep it clean
17:25 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> I wrote most of my game without creating an api so I'm going back adding api's and switching over to them.
17:26 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> I've saved a lot of storage space, at least 1MB
17:26 user333_ is that including textures?
17:27 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> what do you mean?
17:28 user333_ was that space saved by just improving the code or removing some textures
17:28 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> I'd already run all of my textures through compression software, plus their only 16x16 textures.
17:28 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> Just from the code
17:29 user333_ 1mb of code, that must be a gigantic game
17:30 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> I have a bunch of nodes almost identical in definition so I just created an api for each kind.
17:31 user333_ my game uses all MTG nodes, all the code is just logic stuff
17:32 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> I'm making mine from scratch other then for 3d armor, an inventory, and a couple libraries.
17:33 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> So I'm adding all node from scratch.
17:33 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> *nodes
17:33 user333_ my game has ~550 lines of code for everything
17:34 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> Mine has to be some where around 1000 - 1500 right now.
17:34 user333_ according to `cat $(find . | grep ".lua") | wc -l`
17:34 user333_ what kind of game is it?
17:35 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> a complete survival game like mineclonia or MTG + mods
17:35 user333_ mine is a basic PVP deathmatch
17:37 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> I just used the same command that you did: 2293 lines of code
17:37 user333_ o.o
17:37 user333_ good work
17:38 MTDiscord <sheriff_u3> And that's without a proper farming system, entities, and everything else that I've not yet gotten too
18:41 cheapie Ah, technology...
18:41 cheapie I just had to red-tag a Luacontroller that was controlling a toilet
18:43 est31 joined #luanti
18:43 sys4 joined #luanti
18:49 user333_ smart toilet?
19:01 cheapie I think it was supposed to be. Some digitoilet setup on a bus
19:04 cheapie I'm not sure what the goal of the LuaC even was, it was just sending close, overflow, and spray commands once per second, all of which were ignored because the lid was already closed
19:06 user333_ a surprise to anyone who opens ot
19:06 user333_ it*
19:06 cheapie Manual control is not supported :P
19:07 user333_ what kind of toilet needs a remote to open it
19:07 cheapie this kind https://content.luanti.org/packages/cheapie/digitoilet/
19:08 user333_ that's gotta be the most bizzare mod i've ever seen, good work
19:08 cheapie As mentioned in the description, it wasn't my idea :P
19:09 user333_ you made the mod tho
19:09 cheapie yes
19:09 * user333_ installs it because why not
19:11 cheapie Ooh, BDOT finally got that railroad crossing on Birch Street out by Bonntronics finished
19:11 cheapie and by that I mean I think they just had SFDOT do it
