01:29 octacian what do you guys think about having hardened clay in Minetest Game (default mod)?
01:30 octacian IK some mods have already done it, but I think it's one of those things that just makes sense to have in the default game.

02:29 shadow octacian: what is hardened clay?
02:32 octacian shadow: for example, one of the less-known clay mods: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=8232
02:35 shadow octacian: okay so aesthetically it adds arbitrarily coloured blocks
02:37 octacian shadow: essentially. There pretty much just decoration.
02:41 octacian How do I remove all the files and subdirectories combining minetest.get_dir_list() and os.remove?

03:37 whitephoenix not really a minetest question but I'm trying to require another lua file in my mod and it's not finding it despite being in the same folder
03:38 shadow maybe "./filename.lua" ?
03:38 shadow or single quotes
03:38 shadow I'm not a LUA coder typically
03:38 whitephoenix nope
03:38 shadow whitephoenix: otherwise you would need to modify the path or place it in a LUA search path
03:38 Volkj isn't dofile("name.lua") used widely in minetest mods?
03:39 shadow require is best, else loadfile and dofile
03:41 whitephoenix Volkj, I want to call a function defined in this file
03:41 whitephoenix not run the whole thing
03:41 whitephoenix WAIT A MINUTE
03:41 Volkj is the function with a local before it?
03:41 whitephoenix oh nvm
03:41 whitephoenix no its not local
03:44 alt41559 joined #minetest
03:45 whitephoenix In the minetest error screen it says "no file './file.lua'"
03:49 Volkj tried both require and dofile, testcase with a couple of files and lua interpreter - former give errors, latter works
03:51 whitephoenix Volkj but still that runs the entire file, its already being ran in init.lua
03:51 Volkj is the function in the separate file?
03:52 Volkj give a try to dofile, the worst it can do is a crash
03:53 whitephoenix Setup is init.lua with dofile to all the things, then one file containing a 'mana' system has a function to add mana, which I want to call from a file containing a node
03:53 alt37351 joined #minetest
03:54 Volkj can a function being called by modname.function once it's loaded?
03:55 Volkj or the colon operator, never tried however
03:56 whitephoenix attempt to index global modename ( a nil value)
03:56 Volkj modname should have the name of the mod iirc
03:56 whitephoenix yeah doesn't work
03:57 whitephoenix ...holy crap really
03:57 whitephoenix I thought I tried this
03:58 whitephoenix its just function_name(whatever), no mod name or requires needed I guess
03:58 whitephoenix wow I'm dumb

14:50 whitephoenix whats with abms? I was lead to believe that they activated consistently, but with a chance of 1 (100% right?) and interval of 1, this one goes off like every 40 seconds
14:53 sfan5 there are no guarantees about them being executed in time
14:58 jin_xi joined #minetest
14:58 agaran whitephoenix: also distance from active player matters../whatever block is loaded or not
15:01 whitephoenix hmm alright

17:48 swift110 hey krock how are you
17:49 Krock mhm.. a bit depressed as my pull wasn't accepted (would rewrite like the whole mod)
17:49 Krock *won't be accepted
17:49 swift110 sorry about that
17:50 Krock heh, not your fault. How are you btw?
17:50 whitephoenix you could always release a fork
17:52 Krock whitephoenix, it wouldn't change the situation on the server, that's the problem
17:52 swift110 I am good
17:52 Krock nice to hear :)

18:05 nowhereman Hey all
18:05 Jousway joined #minetest
18:05 nowhereman I just started playing minetest
18:06 nowhereman I didn't find how to get a solo game like Minecraft, with animals around and ennemies at night
18:06 Calinou hi, welcome nowhereman
18:06 Calinou Minetest does have singleplayer but the default game does not offer any mobs yet
18:06 Calinou you need a mobs mod for this
18:06 Calinou !mod mobs

18:26 Krock this could simply use minetest.setting_set("motd", "text...")

18:49 whitephoenix http://i.imgur.com/QyszP52.png does anyone see a problem with this animated texture? changing the animation parameters don't see to do anything
18:50 jin_xi it's because you're using vim to make a stallman mod
18:50 Lord_Vlad joined #minetest
18:51 whitephoenix I used spacemacs for like... half of it

19:34 rubenwardy joined #minetest
19:35 luizrpgluiz You can make a block that only one player can see it? for example, only the owner of that block can see it
19:35 whitephoenix actually I can put it on github later, when I have time to setup licenses and stuff
19:37 agaran luizrpgluiz: I think you can't do that..
19:37 agaran luizrpgluiz: what you -might- do is block that gets visible when certain player gets close.. but visible for everyone..
19:37 Szkodnix joined #minetest
19:44 yusf[m] whitephoenix: Sounds exciting! Would like to test when the time comes.
