Too small chat

by cactuz_pl » Thu Dec 27, 2012 12:56

Default chat has only six lines.

Is it possible to increase it to 20 lines, editing minetest.conf or by editing code before compiling?

I've searched the forum but I could not find similar topic.

Thanks in advance for your time.
Nope

You can expand it by pressing F10.

It is possible to show more lines without pressing F10.
I found out yesterday.
Go to chat.cpp and look for "m_recent_buffer(6),"
Change this line to "m_recent_buffer(20),"
to have 20 lines or any number that you want to have.
Then recompile minetest and you're done.

F10 sometimes crashing Minetest, what is annoying.

This is confirmed with my friend. Whenever he presses f10 his client crashes. I haven't tried it yet but if I remember I will try later.

This F10 crash is called segfault and its there since the console is added.

I noticed this segfault seems to only happen on Debian-based distros (and Debian itself).
This would need some more testing though. I wonder what can cause this.
I made a few (a lot of?) mods for minetest: here is a list.
See also the MT-Faithful texture pack (work in progress).

I've talked with some Windows users who confirm that the segfault is also present in the Windows version, not just Debian-based Linux distributions.

On Arch Linux it never happened to me. Maybe update Irrlicht or some other dependency (I have irrlicht 0.8 but it didn't crash with 0.7.3, too).
On Debian and Ubuntu it always happens. What's common between Debian, Ubuntu, and Windows, that isn't in Arch ? Good question...

Are you sure you run Irrlicht 0.8? Because I have 1.7 ...

IMO, this should be made into a "chat_lines" minetest.conf option and the default value should be 8.

I'm an Archer here too, the latest version of irrlicht in Arch is 1.8.

Can we at least have an extra chant window, or a full chat that doesn't overlap with the game view? The chat on top of the game is hard to read in light conditions and you can't click formspec buttons through it, and the F10 console is crashy and obstructs the game.

I guess I'm back for some time.
