Snow fall

[00c]

Snow fall appear and cause lag cpu spike, ignores snow_enable_snowfall = false in my config, When i type /snow snow fall is unmarked, on restart snow fall stops, but something trigger it sometimes. i add snow_debug = true for now

[00c]

Hi, logs are full of this, after i enable debug, is this snow fall?

l think the log doesn't show something about falling snow. You don't use other mods adding weather, do you?

https://github.com/Splizard/minetest-mod-snow/blob/master/src/falling_snow.lua#L193 If you add print("snow may fall") there, every time snow may fall the message should be printed.

[00c]

There is no other mod with weather as long i know. How can i check to be sure?

[HybridDog]

Just put following code at the beginning of an init.lua of some mod:

local picle = minetest.add_particle
function minetest.add_particle(t, ...)
    print(minetest.get_last_run_mod() .. " mod adds particle: "..dump(t))
    return picle(t, ...)
end

local picspwn = minetest.add_particlespawner
function minetest.add_particlespawner(t, ...)
    print(minetest.get_last_run_mod() .. " mod adds particlespawner: "..dump(t))
    return picspwn(t, ...)
end

It overrides the particle and particlespawner spawn function to make them additionally print the mod which executes the function and the particledef, which contains the texture, which usually also has the mod name in it. Please tell me the result and thanks for your patience.

For example after using the rocket launcher following gets printed:

2016-04-29 16:51:23: WARNING[Server]: The use of vel is deprecated. Use velocity instead
2016-04-29 16:51:23: WARNING[Server]: The use of acc is deprecated. Use acceleration instead
2016-04-29 16:51:31: ACTION[Server]: singleplayer uses nuke:rocket_launcher, pointing at [nothing]
nuke mod adds particle: {
    vel = {
        y = 0.75824815034866,
        x = -0.58162754774094,
        z = -0.29456606507301
    },
    pos = {
        y = 25.125,
        x = 354.88998413086,
        z = -488.40698242188
    },
    size = 1,
    expirationtime = 1.3517531007662,
    acc = {
        y = 75.824815034866,
        x = -58.162754774094,
        z = -29.456606507301
    },
    collisiondetection = false,
    texture = "nuke_rocket_launcher_back.png^[transform1"
}

done, i see many

homedecor mod adds particlespawner: { minacc = { y = -0, x = 0, z = -0 }, maxpos = { y = 17.65, x = -962.15, z = 1143.725 }, texture = "homedecor_steam.png", minpos = { y = 17.65, x = -962.15, z = 1143.725 }, minsize = 1, maxacc = { y = 0.003, x = 0, z = -0 }, amount = 1, minvel = { y = 0.01, x = -0.003, z = -0.003 }, minexptime = 2, maxexptime = 5, maxvel = { y = 0.01, x = 0.003, z = -0.003 }, time = 1, collisiondetection = false, maxsize = 1.2 }

This obviously is steam from homedecor. What informations do you get about the snow particles?

[00c]

Nothing, i let it run will check logs later, that is all i could find with snow

2016-04-29 17:53:08: INFO[Main]: [snow ] ["/home/mt/bin/../mods/snow/init.lua"] 17:53:08: WARNING: Undeclared global variable "drop" accessed at /home/mt/bin/../mods/snow/src/stairsplus.lua:274

how line 193 should look just print("snow may fall") ?

[HybridDog]

l don't use stairsplus

[00c]

Looks as its fixed
