Oh...But now it comes down why she a Moderator.

Unless C55 and VanessaE meet in person...

But I think you should be a Moderator Adam :D

oh and Adam is it a, bug when minetest close without you closing it?

It happen to me and, I didn't get to save what I was making.

Well the reason I am a moderator is because celeron55 thought I'd be right for the task. I leave it up to others to decide if that is the case. As Traxie21 pointed out, I do provide my own flavor of Minetest builds, but only when I see a feature I think will be useful, that isn't yet in the mainstream engine (hence LuaJIT, and prior to that the filtering stuff).

My current build (which is at git HEAD as of this writing) is on page three of the LuaJIT thread.

When that feature makes it into upstream, I will probably stop providing builds (there would be no need) until the next new thing comes along that seems useful.

New build: 97f0bb0-aftermath

I saw something in the commits to the git version of Minetest that dealt with fixing a memory leak. Was this leak the cause of the increase in RAM and CPU usage after 0.4.5 stable? Memory leaks can be a serious problem, so it is a good thing that something was done about the one in Minetest.

People are working to fix even bigger memory leaks.
And 0.4.6 uses less RAM and CPU because the code was improved.

This is very good news. The more memory leaks that are fixed, the easier Minetest will be on computers (particularly older computers.) Such efforts are greatly appreciated and very important.

hi
!

[Inocudom]

It is a good thing that you are around, sapier. You are busy fixing memory leaks in Minetest, which is a very important task. The next PilzAdam build could be called R.I.P. Leaks.

[PilzAdam]

New build: 9449026-LuaJIT
With memory leaks fixed and LuaJIT, wich is 2 times faster than Lua.

Hey how do you make a build work? like how you make the source code files gone, and have a .exe?

You should search in the internet and read a bit about compiling.

I am curious about the commit involving system-wide LuaJIT. What exactly does this mean and what must we do to prepare our computers for it? Might as well ask now so that questions can be avoided when the next build comes out.

You basically need to install LuaJIT system wide on your computer when you use Linux. Cmake detects is then and Minetest will use it. The according packages for Ubuntu are:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

libluajit-5.1-common libluajit-5.1-2 libluajit-5.1-dev

To use LuaJIT in windows you manually point cmake to the headers and the static lua libary with

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

cmake . -DLUA_INCLUDE_DIR=path/to/lua/headers -DLUA_LIBARY=luajit.lib

There are no official builds for LuaJIT for windows so I had to search a bit for the libary and the dll.

With your most current build when I get an error minetest shutdown instead of going to debug screen.

[Mito551]

is luajit now official?

[PilzAdam]

is luajit now official?

Yes.

This happens to me as well with my own builds, particularly if a mod experiences some error. The program segfaults on the way down, after reporting the error to the terminal.

I build the latest dev version of Minetest and you can find the changelog always at the same places:

PilzAdam jeija's experimental water shader branch link is broken. Places make another.

It has been a long time since the last time you made a build, PilzAdam. Development on Minetest seems to be slow lately.

[PilzAdam]

New build: 666aae3-luahud
Added API functions to Lua so mods can add new elements to the HUD.

No, it was just extremly fast before.

[PilzAdam]

Also it has kaeza's HUD changes IIRC

[Inocudom]

I like how the new textures and the new nodes look. Now, if only someone would come up with a better texture for the diamond blocks.

It looks like the act of making cave generation separate has messed up lava lakes. Sometimes, there will be a lava pool above another one. Sometimes, they appear in clusters. Also, some of the sides of flowing lava nodes don't have textures and are thus completely transparent. It might be better if lava never appeared above -100.
