" 15:09 VanessaE in other words, from bugs 15:09 VanessaE the same shit they've been using since forever,. 15:18 sfan5 VanessaE: everything is new when the NSA starts using it 15:20 VanessaE heh 15:22 BlockMen I was more wondering about the transceivers in the cables and how far they can be used 15:35 sfan5 BlockMen: the signal can be pretty good, they could run the antenna along the whole cable 15:40 sfan5 but if they'd use radio frequencies they would run out pretty quickly 15:40 sfan5 s/ly// 16:38 MinetestBot GIT: sfan5 commited to minetest/minetest: Fix building with MinGW a5287b6777 2014-01-15T08:35:00-08:00 http://git.io/cNx5hQ 16:40 tomasbrod Hello. 16:40 tomasbrod Ok, it works.

(registers as 0.0) 20:52 Peacock i think im gonna have to deal with this lag first before adding any new mods, right now the server locks up for 5-10 seconds to the minute :/ 20:54 ShadowNinja What mods do you have? Do you block Guest[0-9]+ and .*admin.*? How many playerfiles do you have? 20:55 Peacock i do block guests and admins, thinking of blocking all-digit names too 20:56 ShadowNinja If you have ten thousand playerfiles or more that could be causing it. 20:56 Peacock 2827 files 20:56 ShadowNinja Probably a mod then. 20:56 Peacock i only have 17 mods 20:58 ShadowNinja Aaaaand I recognise about three of those. It only takes one line of code to lag a server.

Does island use LuaVoxelManip? 21:02 Peacock yep 21:02 Peacock and the fast noise 21:03 Peacock tek is like technic + mesecons but without wires and far fewer machines/varieties of 21:05 Peacock i guess id have to profile each of the mods 21:06 ShadowNinja You could modify minetest.run_callbacks to print run-time. 21:07 ShadowNinja (will be floody though) 21:07 Peacock out of curiosity though, does it make a difference to have seperate abms, or one big one with if/elseif statements? 21:09 paramat i separate abms with prime number intervals, too spread the load in time, prime numbers coincide the least 21:10 paramat (i prefer separate...) 21:10 Peacock in other words if i have a bunch of abms set at 15 second intervals then they all kick off at the same time? 21:12 paramat dont know for sure but thats what im trying to avoid 21:13 Peacock i could probably vary the production times for factory (it really shouldn't take the same amount of time for each to produce something anyhow) 21:13 Peacock *factory nodes 21:13 Peacock i could probably double up the interval on power sources and double the amount of fuel depletion to compensate as well 21:20 paramat so, i managed to edit island mod to have simple ice and snow, at very little extra processing time :) 21:20 paramat i even restricted myself to a 2D noise with 1 octave heheh 21:21 Peacock i tried it the other day, i travelled from 1K to 10K but didn't find any snow/ice :/ 21:22 paramat ? should be snow biomes northwards and southwards 21:23 paramat version 0.2.1? i updated recently 21:23 Peacock yeah no i checked the code the code's there, installed it and tried on a new map 21:24 Peacock i figure if players have to travel a long time to get snow ice they wont bother with algea farming, maybe i could tweak the mod to produces island with mountains and put the snow/ice at the peak? 21:24 * paramat ponders 21:25 Peacock dont know if that would make any sense 21:27 paramat ah good idea ... that occurred to me also :) 21:27 Peacock in that case we (you) wouldn't need the second noise 21:28 paramat also, a dusting of snow makes more sense on apple trees 21:28 Peacock those little flat snow nodeboxes? 21:29 paramat yeah 21:29 paramat they flicker and disappear when seen from above 21:29 paramat o/ j_m 21:30 paramat im beginning to prefer full snowblocks, even a half height snow nodebox would be better 21:30 Peacock john: i wouldn't call them hacks :P they're more interesting than the default mapgens :P the only hack is in countering the effects of the builtin mapgens 21:30 Peacock small nodeboxes always flicker :/ 21:31 Peacock thats been a problem since at least, 045 or 046 21:31 paramat yeah so how about a custom snow nodebox that is half height, for island mod 21:32 paramat also i can detect desert simply and not place in deserts 21:32 Peacock rather id redefine default's snow nodebox 21:32 Peacock :default:flat_snow or whatever it's called 21:32 paramat oh okay 21:33 paramat and no ice? =} its cute it goes tink tink 21:33 Peacock yeah use both the default snow and ice :-) 21:33 * paramat loves the crazy new sounds 21:33 Peacock algea farms take both, the ice just takes longer to melt 21:33 Peacock new sounds? 21:34 paramat (... new since 048) 21:34 Peacock ah yeah, some of them are better than the old ones 21:35 Peacock course anything beats the walking-on-eggshells sound of grass of previous versions lol 21:36 paramat what i mean is, does ice make sense if theres only a dusting of snow up high? or perhaps just a little coastal ice? 21:37 Peacock well the ice could probably be under the snow, ontop of the stone 21:37 Peacock like the snow compacted over time 21:40 * paramat tests island mod 21:41 VanessaE paramat: it's not at all uncommon in the US midwest to get ice without snow. 21:42 VanessaE e.g. winter "ice storms" and such 21:42 VanessaE but those are weather events, not regional climate 21:45 proller paramat, snow is leveled, you can place standard snow with 1-64 levels 21:45 paramat V, good to know 21:45 Peacock a standard nodebox will do proller :P 21:46 paramat level is in param2? 21:46 Peacock apparently there is ice on mountain tops according to the telegraph 21:46 paramat must be true then ;) 21:47 proller paramat, yes. and you can use set level api 21:47 Peacock " the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which had to issue a humiliating apology earlier this month over inaccurate statements about global warming." .. "In its most recent report, it stated that observed reductions in mountain ice in the Andes, Alps and Africa was being caused by global warming" 21:47 paramat i love how this mod drops the player in the ocean =) 21:47 Peacock doesn't that level stuff use finite? 21:47 Peacock dont worry i added boats :P 21:49 paramat hmm i dont use finite 21:49 Peacock me neither 21:49 Peacock or anything like it lol im trying to reduce lag 21:49 Peacock in any case a dusting of snow on top of trees (if there are any trees on mountain tops) isn't as important as just having snow/ice 21:50 paramat ice at 1693 nodes north, works for me :) 21:51 Peacock what i do find odd is i find groupings of leaves mid-air between islands :/ 21:51 paramat yes thats *normal* 21:52 paramat i suspect same process as dirt ridges 21:53 paramat mapgen v6 generates beyond its chunk boundaries into previously generated chunks 21:54 paramat you know dirt ridges now have a fix? 21:54 Peacock in 049 dev? 21:54 paramat yeah 21:55 Peacock ill have to definately check it out then while not too much of my map is generated 21:55 proller minetest.set_node_level(pos, level) 21:56 paramat mapgen flag 'no mud flow' in minetest.conf 21:56 proller but for mapgen faster change param2 21:56 paramat thanks 21:57 Peacock well i'll be back in a little while, gotta do a few errands before the stores close 21:57 paramat o/ 22:06 BlockMen bye everyone 23:06 kaurdump hey guys, i'm running an old version of minetest on my minetest server. how do i update it and not lose my world? i'm not sure how i installed it, but this is how i run the server on ubuntu: /home/user/minetest/bin/minetestserver and i make edits in /home/user/.mintest/... 23:06 kaurdump i want the latest release 23:06 kaurdump doesn't have to be "stable" 23:09 iqualfragile kaurdump: your world is located somewhere inside /home/user/.minetest/worlds 23:10 iqualfragile migh be called "world" 23:10 iqualfragile (which is the default i think 23:10 kaurdump it is 23:10 iqualfragile ) 23:10 iqualfragile back that up 23:10 kaurdump ok 23:10 iqualfragile next up would be: 23:11 iqualfragile git clone git://github.com/minetest/minetes.git minetest-new 23:11 iqualfragile then compile that, you might want to use the following commands: 23:11 iqualfragile cmake . -DENABLE_GETTEXT=1 -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1 -DENABLE_SOUND=0 -DBUILD_CLIENT=0 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release 23:12 iqualfragile make -j4 23:12 kaurdump i'm not sure how to compile it 23:12 iqualfragile i just sent you the two commands needed to compile 23:12 iqualfragile the first one will tell you when you miss build dependencies 23:13 Exio4 what distro are you using? 23:13 Exio4 also, why do you have ~/minetest/bin/minetesterver? 23:13 kaurdump ok 23:14 kaurdump i think i ran this when i first set it up: 23:14 kaurdump sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential libirrlicht-dev libgettextpo0 libfreetype6-dev cmake libbz2-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg8-dev libxxf86vm-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libsqlite3-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev; git clone git://github.com/minetest/minetest.git; cd minetest/games; git clone git://github.com/minetest/minetest_game.git; cd ..; cmake . -DENABLE_GETTEXT=1 -DENABLE_FREETYPE=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=$(pwd 23:15 kaurdump install; cd ../bin; ./minetest; echo -e "\n\nYou can run Minetest again by double-clicking \"minetest\" in the \"bin\" folder of the \"minetest\" folder in your home folder.\nYou can install mods in ~/.minetest/mods, too." 23:15 kaurdump someone on here had me run that 23:15 Exio4 so cd ~/minetest/; git pull; cmake . -DENABLE_GETTEXT=1 -DENABLE_FREETYPE=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=$(pwd); make -j3 23:16 Exio4 this will 1) change your directory to ~/minetest, update the 'downloaded data' to the latest dev version, reconfigure makefiles, and then run make for compiling it 23:16 kaurdump why should i pull it out of my home folder? 23:17 Exio4 what? 23:17 ShadowNinja You should use -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1.
