06:06 lissobone There's a strange graphical glitch observed in newer versions of minetest engine.
06:06 lissobone It's especially prevalent in rangedweapons, as it uses a lot of 2d sprites, specifically for shotgun pellets and rockets.
06:07 lissobone Projectiles don't render until a certain distance (as with pellets) or don't render at all.
06:08 lissobone But on older versions, for example, if I connect with a 5.4.0 client to a 5.6.1 server, the sprites render on the device with the older version.

16:04 Guest35 Is there a way to install mods to a headless minetest server such that all conflicts between mods get resolved automatically (aka, the 'easy way to install mods')?
16:05 Guest35 Is it possible to install mods like it is done in the minetest client (but headless)? Like a script or something?

16:12 sometalgoo Guest35: I'm not an expert with Minetest, but I don't believe there's any built-in functionality to do that.  But each mod does have a file that lists dependencies.  I suppose you could write a script that checks the dependencies listed for the mod you're adding, and then goes through the mod folder and checks if they're available.

19:36 DeepThgt ok only semi minetest related, but i cannot get a python script to work via a cron job
19:36 DeepThgt but it works if i type out the command in shell
19:37 DeepThgt python3 /home/minetest/LibreTranslate/main.py --host $IPADDRESSREDACTED
19:38 DeepThgt is the line, works in bash, not when run from cron
19:39 sfan5 if you checked the syslog you would have a more concrete idea than "doesn't work"
19:42 Trifton joined #minetest
19:43 DeepThgt didnt see anything useful, im gonna redirect the stdout to a file in crontab
19:46 DeepThgt https://pastebin.com/raw/AVgqpJME
19:46 DeepThgt hrm
19:47 DeepThgt im wondering if its because this is being called at @reboot in cron, maybe the network stack isn't available yet? i am not sure really
19:48 DeepThgt im gonna try increasing the sleep timer before the command runs in my bash script (which calls the python)
19:49 MTDiscord <SX> You sure that @RebooT target works because it wont with all versions of cron daemon.
19:49 DeepThgt reboot is working because its also used to start the minetest server
19:50 DeepThgt and that is working
19:51 DeepThgt ya increasing the sleep timer fixed it
19:52 DeepThgt network must have not been ready after 1 sec
19:54 MTDiscord <SX> if network is supposed to be always avail then you prob also could add network as dep for cron daemon... but better to remember that
19:55 MTDiscord <SX> (in case net happens to take 2sec for whatever reason...)
19:57 DeepThgt ya right now i just set sleep 120 to make sure im right, i might look into that or keep the sleep number high, like 10s or whatever
19:57 DeepThgt if network is truly unavailable it would be irrelevant if anything else runs
19:58 DeepThgt its probably not the most elequenet solution, but thats the kinda guy i am
19:58 DeepThgt :P
19:58 DeepThgt thanks

20:35 FavoritoHJS is there a mod that does some small changes to mtg like make paper crafting give 3 instead of 1?
20:36 Krock it's a 5-liner snippet that you could put into any mod you like
20:38 Krock I suppose minetest.register_craft() with the new quantity (and recipe) is already enough to overwrite it
20:42 calcul0n_ also a lot of mods introduce small changes like this
