00:33	Wuzzy	Boom! 5.4.0! Let's 5.4.0 Party!
00:33	Wuzzy	I have updated the wiki for the 5.4.0 updates. it was not much work this time.
00:33	LoneWolfHT	?
00:39	Extexo	????
00:59	Extexo	It'd be cool if somebody could make a demonstration mod of the new features each update, so you can download the mod to see the new stuff

02:31	MTDiscord	<skyliner_369> any good pointers to mods that give something akin to Minecraft's night vision... or just allow the darkest areas to not be... as dark? like some sort of server-side setting?
03:07	Extexo	Not possible without post-processing
03:08	Extexo	Oh wait
03:08	Extexo	Like minecraft
03:09	Extexo	Uhh I don't think so
03:13	Glorfindel	I know you can adjust brightness client-side easily, but that wouldn't really help, unless you could set up the server to adjust users settings when it connects
03:14		sknebel joined #minetest
03:15	Extexo	I've seen people change the lowest light levels but that's for the whole server but that's global and from my understanding permanent
03:20		Unit193 joined #minetest
04:44	VanessaE	there used to be a way to use a main menu background image in a game, with the clouds appearing behind the image wherever the image is transparent
04:45	VanessaE	can someone remind me how? :)

12:17	sonomicheleya[m]	Hi, can I use https://github.com/exosite/lua-yaml to read a yaml file in a minetest mod? Or is there something else that allows it?
12:27		submariner joined #minetest
12:28	sfan5	should work fine in principle
12:36		ronoaldo joined #minetest
12:40		submariner joined #minetest
12:41	sonomicheleya[m]	I don’t understand, and by the way I meant to parse a yaml file sorry
12:42		nlyy joined #minetest
12:42	sfan5	you can copy the yaml.lua file into your mod, load and it and use their api as normally
12:42	sfan5	this approach works fine with most lua libraries
12:42	sfan5	load it and*
12:43	nly	yay cp -r ~/.minetest ~root/.minetest & minetest --server works
12:47	sonomicheleya[m]	Oh ok thank you sfan

14:32	VanessaE	how do I hide the inventory slots, in favor of a custom background image? e.g. in chests or furnaces
14:55		kamdard joined #minetest
16:09		galex-713 joined #minetest
16:10	sfan5	by not appending to the formspec, isn't that how it works?
16:11		submariner joined #minetest
16:13	Gustavo6046	Does moretrees conflict/clash with ethereal anyhow?
16:13	Gustavo6046	And do areas with default:tree trees mean that they were generated before moretrees being first loaded?
16:13		Foz joined #minetest
16:15	VanessaE	sfan5: I don't understand :-/
16:16	VanessaE	I'm attempting to modify chest, furnace, and vessel formspecs through sed
16:16	VanessaE	so I"m just inserting a line here or altering one there, but not changing anything about prepending or appending
16:16	sfan5	oh I misunderstood
16:16	VanessaE	(I'm doing it this way to avoid having to maintain my own fork)
16:17	VanessaE	moment, I'll pastebin/screenshot one of the results
16:19	sfan5	https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L2256
16:19	sfan5	you're looking for this then
16:19	VanessaE	gah, now it doesn't want to dump the formspec :-/
16:21	VanessaE	ah ok
16:21	VanessaE	it never occurred to me to look into thato ne.
16:21	VanessaE	one*
16:22	sfan5	I checked how MTG styles the slots inside the formspec prepend so that must be the one
16:22	Gustavo6046	It seems that moretrees' generator does not like Ethereal's grove_dirt.
16:22	VanessaE	Gustavo6046: moretrees doesn't generate anything.
16:22	VanessaE	it just passes biome info to biome_lib
16:22	Gustavo6046	VanessaE: biomelib does
16:22	Gustavo6046	ah
16:23	Gustavo6046	still, all of the trees that spawn on grass only specify default:dirt_with_grass
16:23	VanessaE	just alter the surface nodes in the biome defs for the trees you want to move.
16:32	Gustavo6046	alright
16:32	Gustavo6046	hmm, are rubber trees supposed to be this uncommon and hard to find?
16:32	VanessaE	not really
16:33	VanessaE	but no one's bothered to step up and propose a better biome def for them
16:34	Gustavo6046	ah
16:35		galex-713 joined #minetest
16:35	Gustavo6046	VanessaE: "wet" biomes could have little ponds and murky pools, this would help satisfy the "nearby water" condition of rubber trees in more inland regions of the map
16:35	Gustavo6046	not sure how else a "wet" biome (where rainforest trees would generally grow) could be discerned from a "non-wet" one
16:36	Gustavo6046	I know there are "dry" biomes, like where acacias grow
16:37		craigger joined #minetest
16:37	VanessaE	well, biome_lib doesn't have any concepts like that
16:37	VanessaE	a biome def says where to grow, but whether those conditions are met depends on your mapgen
16:38	Gustavo6046	ah
16:38	VanessaE	so e.g. a small pond will still satisfy "wet" regardless of how it got there.
16:38	VanessaE	as long as it's default:water_source
16:38	VanessaE	(biome_lib doesn't recognize river water)
16:40		Cork joined #minetest
16:41	Gustavo6046	mhm
16:42	Gustavo6046	VanessaE: I wonder if there are trees endemic to the banks and surroundings of rivers
16:42	Gustavo6046	:P
16:42	VanessaE	dunno.

17:00		Hawk777 joined #minetest
17:05		galex-713 joined #minetest
17:10	Gustavo6046	VanessaE: so, rubber trees apparently also only grow in "warm" biomes (ie with a lower bound for temperature).
17:10	VanessaE	yes
17:10	Gustavo6046	What would those be?
17:10	VanessaE	um
17:10	Gustavo6046	I have seem many coasts with relatively low default_grass (between the requirements of -5 and 5), and near water of course
17:10	VanessaE	I have no idea
17:10	VanessaE	it's been way too long
17:10	Gustavo6046	In places without snow or such
17:10	Gustavo6046	I've boated quite a bit and haven't found a single rubber tree so far.
17:10	Gustavo6046	But I know there msut be one, somewhere.
17:11		Cork joined #minetest
17:11	VanessaE	maybe their biome should be reset to be the same as jumgle trees
17:11	VanessaE	jungle*
17:12		galex-713_ joined #minetest
17:13	Gustavo6046	yeah, but also a bit closer to water
17:13	Gustavo6046	to be fair I remember playing IndustrialCraft and rubber trees being a tad uncommon, too.
17:13	Gustavo6046	Or at least not nearly as numerous as other kinds.
17:13	VanessaE	perhaps yes.
17:19	VanessaE	Gustavo6046: fork, make changes, merge request when you think it's right :)
17:22	VanessaE	sfan5: still having a problem with the inventory slots. listcolors[] alters them but I can't seem to erase them entirely
17:22	VanessaE	colors like #00000000 (8 zeros) should be fully transparent, right?
17:22	ShadowBot	VanessaE: Error: That URL raised <HTTP Error 404: Not Found>
17:22	VanessaE	stfu, bot :P
17:23	Gustavo6046	hmmm
17:23	Gustavo6046	alright! :D

17:55	sfan5	VanessaE: yeah I'd expect that to be transparent
17:57		galex-713 joined #minetest
17:58	VanessaE	it ain't. :)
17:59	VanessaE	or rather, if it is, there's yet another color that's shown, as though the colors specified in listcolors[] are overlayed on top of some hard-coded colored square

18:10	Gustavo6046	weird, I still have that issue from before, where my character walks faster in some cardinal directions than others
18:10	Gustavo6046	here they're slow going -Z
18:11		galex-713 joined #minetest
18:18	Gustavo6046	also, weird
18:18	Gustavo6046	I sighted a Draconis dragon (first time in the server, and I did go quite far)
18:18	Gustavo6046	and it (or its attack) really made the server laggy for some reason

23:42	cheapie	Hmm... you know your Luacontroller projects might be a bit overcomplicated when: A) they have to show a loading progress bar for a few seconds on startup, during which time they are indeed legitimately loading something, and B) there is a graphical screen available for said progress bar to be displayed on to begin with.
23:43	cheapie	(it's some little graphical demo thing I made that scrolls a 64x64 gradient around on a 16x16 screen, yielding some nice color effects - on startup it has to generate that gradient image and load it into video memory, which it currently does as a series of 16x16 blocks)
