00:12 stormchaser3000 i usualy use linux
00:12 stormchaser3000 but right now i am on windows 8.1
00:12 stormchaser3000 does anyone know how to compile minetest with visual studio 2013?
00:12 stormchaser3000 on a 64 bit system
00:14 exio4 all I can tell you is that it is possible to compile minetest with it
00:15 est31 stormchaser3000, is it possible to use cygwin?
00:15 exio4 how "easy" it is? about as easy as installing a random linux distro without keyboard, mouse, ssh server, and screen :D
00:16 stormchaser3000 :D
00:16 stormchaser3000 XD
00:16 stormchaser3000 windows is hard as !@#$
00:16 stormchaser3000 i might use like mingw

00:38 est31 how can you cut something out and then paste it somewhere else with worldedit?
00:42 LazyJ est31, within the same world or between two different worlds?
00:42 est31 same world
00:42 est31 some player placed a chest where they shouldnt
00:42 est31 want to move it
00:43 ecutruin joined #minetest
00:44 LazyJ I would make two files, one - a .we file and the other an .mts (mtschem).
00:44 LazyJ I don't recall which one preserves the meta-data (content).
00:44 est31 ?
00:45 LazyJ Set pos 1 and 2 in opposite corners of the chest and then use   //save <give_it_a_name>.
00:45 LazyJ Then the second one would be     //mtschemcreate <give_it_a_name>.
00:46 LazyJ The clean-up by deleting the chest     //set air
00:46 LazyJ To place the chest somewhere else, set pos1.
00:47 LazyJ Then     //load <the_name_you_gave_it>
00:47 est31 ok is there some //rm command=
00:47 est31 just //save worked too
00:47 LazyJ Not that I'm aware of yet, but WorldEdit has had some changed in the past month or so.
00:48 LazyJ The second placement option is     //mtschemplace <the_name_you_gave_it>
00:49 LazyJ Someone once told me that the   //save and //load   was for buildings and    //mtschemcreate and //mtschemplace   were for landscape stuff.
00:49 Valley_Cat joined #minetest
00:50 LazyJ I've used   save/load   for my stuff but I didn't have to worry about chest contents.
00:51 LazyJ When in doubt, try it out in a singleplayer test world.
00:52 est31 I've just copied it and then checked the copy and then deleted the original

02:29 shadowzone joined #minetest

02:31 LazyJ Sure. For low-low monthly payments you to can have a real life just like Bill.

03:56 Tiktalik how's minetest doing?
03:56 Tiktalik whtemple1959, minetest isn't an exact copy of minecraft
03:56 Tiktalik are there even handheld maps
03:57 jalcine joined #minetest
03:59 VanessaE there are a couple of in-game mapping mods, yes
03:59 LazyJ whtemple1959, default slabs and slabs from MoreBlocks can be extended to other materials but it requires editing the mod code.
03:59 VanessaE but they don't work like the minecraft ones do.
04:00 LazyJ whtemple1959, what VanessaE said.
04:01 VanessaE whtemple1959: and the reason for not just randomly defining every node to be a stair/slab/etc is aht minetest doesn't use "one model, any textures" to do it.
04:01 VanessaE rather, each combination of shape and texture is one distinct node.
04:01 VanessaE and minetest does have limits to how many nodes it can load (32766)
04:02 VanessaE there are some loose plans to make it possible to do "one model, any textures" but when that will happen, I have no idea.
04:02 VanessaE there is code that implements it, too
04:02 est31 dreambuilder has reached 20k
04:02 VanessaE (I've played around with it)
04:02 VanessaE est31: naw, only about 15k
04:03 est31 VanessaE, ok can be. perhaps its only the number of recipes

15:32 Neolink2 it's language of minetest
15:32 est31 yes
15:33 Neolink2 i mean a luacontroller language
15:34 est31 ah that you mean with port
15:34 est31 for basic timing, you can use blinky lamps
15:35 est31 and for advanced timing, there are interrupt
15:35 est31 interrupts*
15:36 ipv6b Does anybody know of a German minetest server which had translations inside the game? I mean like when doing a mouseover on cobblestone it would ie say "Pflasterstein".

17:11 rubenwardy Hi all!
17:11 rubenwardy Please delete, I realised that the post was stupid: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=171203#p171203
17:13 rubenwardy Propietary, but it pretty cool. It guesses what character you are thinking are based on your responses to questions (which can only be yes, no, don't know, probably, probably not) http://en.akinator.com/
17:20 rubenwardy It is very hard to get something it doesn't know about
17:20 rubenwardy It doesn't know about Sam from Minetest, for obvious reasons

20:56 farfadet46 joined #minetest
20:56 farfadet46 hello
20:59 farfadet46 somebody can help me with "minetest.register_chatcommand"
21:00 est31 farfadet46, what do you need
21:00 farfadet46 i can't show a windows like in exemple in wiki
21:01 est31 press "i"
21:01 est31 it only modifies the inventory view
21:01 est31 doesnt force showing the inventory
21:01 est31 or displays a window
21:02 farfadet46 chatcommand ins't like "/time ..."
21:02 iio7 joined #minetest
21:02 est31 but?
21:03 w_laenger using math.floor(n) instead of n-n%1  is ~0.83 times slower
21:04 farfadet46 i want make a little mod where the player can enter a chat command to see a windows where he can choose a quest
21:04 w_laenger using math.floor(n) instead of n-n%1  is ~1.2 times faster
21:04 farfadet46 like this mod https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&amp;t=11265&amp;hilit=quest
21:04 iio7 I have been running Minecraft on a small AMD Sepron 2100+ with about 5-10 users with lag. I was hoping I could run Minetest on the same box instead, but even the vanila Minetest is causing huge lags on the box and the CPU is constantly on 100%. Are there any ways to optimize Minetest for the hardware?
21:05 roboman2444 joined #minetest
21:05 est31 farfadet46, you can look up the source code for that mod
21:05 w_laenger you can reduce the global step I think
21:05 est31 here it is :https://github.com/TeTpaAka/quests/blob/master/init.lua
21:06 BluebirdGreycoat joined #minetest
21:07 Calinou iio7, what Minetest version/operating system?
21:07 Calinou which mods?
21:08 proller joined #minetest
21:08 iio7 I have tested vanila, ie. no extra mods, on Alpine Linux and Debian Linux, both 0.4.11 and 0.4.12.
21:09 iio7 CPU is constantly on 100% as soon as just one player is on.
21:09 farfadet46 est31 thank i have aldready take a look at this but i don't understand all this lua :/
21:09 farfadet46 my lua skill ins't very hight
21:10 iio7 Just for comparison when running Minecraft it is running at about 50% with 3 users on, occasionally jumping to 80 and this is with mods.
21:10 iio7 I was expecting a huge improvement going to Minetest due to C++ compiled instead of Java.
21:10 Calinou C++ is not much faster than Java
21:10 Calinou 10-20 %
21:10 Calinou and good Java is fast too
21:10 est31 java has GC
21:11 est31 GC is like a diva when it doesnt have enough RAM
21:11 Calinou also, Minecraft uses LWJGL, which is… native!
21:11 Calinou you can call native programs from Java
21:11 w_laenger can anyone help me with my mod?
21:12 Calinou don't ask to ask, just ask
21:12 iio7 Calinou, est31, but I would expect Minetest to perform just as well, if not better, but it is much worse - not in consuming RAM.
21:13 w_laenger sorry, that was against the rules, wasn't it?
21:13 Calinou no
21:13 iio7 But I guess since it is still under heavy dev, that it hasn't been optimized yet.
21:13 BlockMen left #minetest
21:13 Calinou we won't sanction someone for asking to ask, but it's bad practice
21:13 Calinou iio7, we've done lots of optimization actually
21:13 Calinou something is likely wrong on your system
21:13 iio7 Calinou, like what?
21:13 Calinou mostly in client though
21:14 iio7 Calinou, I have tested only client on Linux, on Alpine, Debian and Ubuntu, also both 0.4.10, 0.4.11 and 0.4.12, without improvements.
21:14 w_laenger currently I only added one wall side https://github.com/HybridDog/extrablocks/blob/master/init.lua#L509
21:15 iio7 Calinou, I have compiled all myself.
21:15 w_laenger to get glass
21:15 farfadet46 salut Calinou ;)
21:15 Calinou try tweaking server settings
21:15 w_laenger but somehow glass doesn't spawn on this wall
21:15 Calinou https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&amp;t=1825
21:15 Calinou active_block_range = 1 helps immensely
21:16 roniz joined #minetest
21:17 w_laenger the node changes a cobble house, which Xanthin etc. hate, to a house with floor, wall and corners
21:17 iio7 Calinou, thanks I will try those different options and see if that helps.
21:17 w_laenger and glass
21:21 w_laenger a screenshot
21:22 w_laenger http://i.imgur.com/RRgx4m1.png there a simple house got removed
21:25 w_laenger Ive got a question about another mod.
21:26 w_laenger https://github.com/HybridDog/nuke/blob/master/init.lua#L232
21:26 w_laenger I made a tool which mirrors the nodes using the player's look direction
21:27 w_laenger but somehow it doesn't work correctly if I use it diagonal
21:28 w_laenger so I make it approximate
21:30 w_laenger What do I need to change that I don't get this problem? http://i.imgur.com/Abnas9T.png
