Re: Post your blueprints!

I'm working on a design for a Technic centrifuge array, and I could use some feedback. I'm not sure whether there's an easier way to do it. (I know that the overflow return loops are too close to adjacent tubes, but I normally do those vertically to avoid that issue.) Pretty picture! It's a bit ove...

Re: No music played

Try debugging your code. E.g. add print (or core.log) statements to see what things get executed, and with witch values. That should guide you towards the thing that is not working.

Re: making sure the map has loaded

If you really need to get or manipulate nodes in unloaded areas, there's core.load_area(). (Before that existed, there was also the hack to create a vmanip, mesecon.get_node_force() uses this for example.) The while loop you tried doesn't work because mods are running in the same thread as the code ...

Re: Luanti Server Performance over lower end devices

somewhere i read that luanti is single threaded It is not. The client, server, mapgen, and meshgen, for example, all run on different threads. The client an server threads are critical paths though. And inside single operations (e.g. core.find_node_near) we don't usually use multithreading or expli...

Re: Luanti Server Performance over lower end devices

Idk how you're measuring mod size, or how you come to the conclusion that bigger mods cause more server lag. But correlation is not the same as causality, if you experience more lag whenever you install a larger mod, it doesn't automatically mean it's *because* the mod is larger. To make such a stat...

Re: Black texture on glass

Set chat_log_level to warning if you develop mods.

Then try again in the old version. You should get warnings that you have to set use_texture_alpha (unless you upgraded from a really old version, then it won't say anything). (In your case it should be "clip".)

Re: Modpacks as lists?

I kind of like this idea. It's a bit similar to arch package groups. One could add a field to modpack.conf to list mods (and modpacks?), by technical name, that should also be counted towards the modpack. The main menu contentdb interface could make sure all the referenced are downloaded when the mo...

just adding 4 more bits to node contentids would probably suffice for everything (524K registerable nodes)
but that would be too much work for a negligible gain
