hmmmm |
i am having a lot of trouble with the lua stuff |
| 05:10 |
hmmmm |
seemingly randomly -- it's based on coordinates though -- when i access a value in the array returned by my function it'll apparently be nil |
| 05:10 |
hmmmm |
is this a common problem, maybe? |
| 05:12 |
hmmmm |
http://pastebin.com/jJBNtu0r for the hell of it, i'll paste the problem here. someone might be able to help. |
| 05:13 |
hmmmm |
i am not setting anything to nil - everything from the C++ side is exactly as expected |
| 05:13 |
hmmmm |
seemingly, anyway. |
| 05:13 |
hmmmm |
i modified WorldEdit 4 in order to test this |
| 05:29 |
hmmmm |
i have a feeling that the lua stack is getting screwed up |
| 05:30 |
hmmmm |
if i add print(noiseval) after local noiseval = ... |
| 05:30 |
hmmmm |
it'll print out on the first iteration and all, but on the second, it errors with "bad argument #1 to add_node, table expected, got nil" |
| 05:34 |
VanessaE |
the Lua code looks clean to me, on first glance |
| 05:35 |
VanessaE |
also, you don't need ,1 in your for loops. just fyi,. |
| 05:35 |
hmmmm |
nevermind what i said previously, that was me being dumb and commenting out np. really, it tries to call kill() when i pass a nil to print(). so anyway i tried print(type(noiseval) and i am getting interesting results.. every x = 2 and 3 are nil and the rest are numbers |
| 05:35 |
hmmmm |
every 2 and 3... .... ...WTF |
| 05:39 |
hmmmm |
if this were some sort of memory corruption i would be having way more problems everywhere else, no..? |
| 05:39 |
VanessaE |
depends on what's getting corrupted. |
| 05:40 |
VanessaE |
in the old days, I would have said you might be overflowing some memory area by just a few bytes - not enough to cause major issues, just a few wtf's |
| 05:40 |
hmmmm |
i'm clearly not though |
| 05:41 |
VanessaE |
right, in this day and age I guess it's more difficult to do that sort of overflow |
| 05:41 |
hmmmm |
it's not - but there's just nowhere for me to do that |
| 05:43 |
hmmmm |
somewhere in between the C++ to Lua code, those tables are getting really corrupted |
| 05:44 |
hmmmm |
could it be getting garbage collected? |
| 05:45 |
VanessaE |
no idea |
| 05:45 |
hmmmm |
you should be able to return a 2d array in lua |
| 05:45 |
hmmmm |
i don't see why not |
| 06:07 |
hmmmm |
i'm going to take a break from this bullshit |

just as celeron55_ requested, all travis builds fail now >< |
| 12:34 |
thexyz |
apparently, that's because they updated clang to 3.2 |
| 12:37 |
RealBadAngel |
at least it worked for a few days ;) |

thexyz, this should be done too: https://github.com/PilzAdam/minetest/commit/28f5b55643080e07a89af5a2e21ffadf3781be19 |
| 20:59 |
thexyz |
PilzAdam: merge it then |
| 21:00 |
thexyz |
though I don't really like the whole idea of "on_rightclick" |
| 21:00 |
thexyz |
especially the fact that everything is done server-side |

dsimon |
hey all, i'm looking for some advice on what i should do next on my client_requests_blocks branch |
| 22:17 |
dsimon |
it's been a while since i worked on it, and c55 helped me out a bit with it |
| 22:17 |
dsimon |
but it never got to a point where it was ready to be merged with master |
| 22:18 |
dsimon |
in particular, has anything about the mapblock model or network infrastructure changed massively in the last 6 months or so that i need to adjust for? |
| 22:19 |
dsimon |
and also, what's the best way to stress test? |
| 22:20 |
dsimon |
the branch is part of c55/minetest github if anybody wants to poke at it |
| 22:34 |
dsimon |

hmmmm |
oh my god |
| 23:47 |
hmmmm |
i'm going to murder something |
| 23:47 |
hmmmm |
want to know what my lua problem was? |
| 23:48 |
hmmmm |
the numbers i was using as index arrays in Lua were apparently a bit off or something |
| 23:48 |
hmmmm |
something that didn't show up when i print()ed the coordinates |
| 23:48 |
hmmmm |
as a result i'd get nil instead of my number |
| 23:48 |
hmmmm |
so i have to use map[math.floor(x - x1) + 1] ... |
| 23:49 |
hmmmm |
why does lua have to be dynamically typed |
| 23:49 |
hmmmm |
dynamically typed languages are HORRIBLE. |
| 23:52 |
dsimon |
or at least dynamically typed languages with bad error reporting and overly "helpful" automatic type casting |
| 23:52 |
hmmmm |
oh hey wait you're the one doing the client_requests block branch |
| 23:52 |
dsimon |
yah |
| 23:52 |
hmmmm |
you went missing for a couple months there |
| 23:52 |
dsimon |
yeah, 5 :-) |
| 23:52 |
dsimon |
work got really busy |
| 23:52 |
dsimon |
but i'm back to having at least some free time now |
| 23:53 |
hmmmm |
no problemo |
| 23:53 |
hmmmm |
the mapblock model hasn't changed, neither has the network infrastructure... a couple packets have been changed and added but nothing that would break what you currently have |
| 23:54 |
hmmmm |
so what does it need to get finished, would you say? |
| 23:54 |
dsimon |
well, first off, there are some bugs |
| 23:55 |
dsimon |
sometimes blocks aren't being transferred |
| 23:55 |
dsimon |
which is not a good bug since that issue is the whole point of my changes :-) |
| 23:55 |
dsimon |
but i should be able to track it down; it's more likely to be an outright logic error than some subtle race condition thing |
| 23:55 |
hmmmm |
oh that reminds me, i forgot to tell you about the addition of TCP for bulk transfers |
| 23:56 |
dsimon |
secondly, i need to get it working under load |
| 23:56 |
hmmmm |
I believe right now it's only being used to transfer media, not blocks, so |
| 23:56 |
dsimon |
ah, ok |
| 23:56 |
dsimon |
that should be alright, my changes only involve blocks |
| 23:57 |
dsimon |
anyways, c55 tried out my changes and said that there were some performance issues |
| 23:57 |
dsimon |
he made a few improvements to address that, mostly tweaking various delay constants |
| 23:57 |
hmmmm |
i see |
| 23:58 |
hmmmm |
he kept telling me to take a look at it but i never really did |
| 23:58 |
dsimon |
but i'd like to see if i can't get it working better at core |
| 23:58 |
hmmmm |
i can't give too much input on it |
| 23:58 |
dsimon |
which is why i'm interested in stress testing |
| 23:58 |
dsimon |
ok |
| 23:58 |
hmmmm |
i've been working on a lot of other things related to the mapgen and noise |
| 23:58 |
dsimon |
the main point of it is like the name says: the client requests what blocks it wants, instead of the server providing the blocks that it predicts the client needs |
| 23:58 |
hmmmm |
well, i know that much |
| 23:58 |
hmmmm |
as far as specifics with your code though |
| 23:59 |
dsimon |
ok |
| 23:59 |
dsimon |
well, the data structure for mapblock changes in one way: there's a counter for the # of changes made, basically a version number |
| 23:59 |
dsimon |
the client requests blocks and specifies what version, if any, it already has |
| 23:59 |
dsimon |
that way the server does not have to retransmit blocks that are unchanged |
