Erase all traces of normal "generation" from fragment shaders
Remove the "feature" from the engine and default config
Remove any leftover documentation of it
The default (PC-style) MainMenu works great on Android. Provides access to ContentDB and allows players to create many worlds in a few clicks.
Makes the interface consistent and eliminates player confusion.
Fix incorrect value of 'mgv7_floatland_density'.
Use correct spelling of 'persistence'.
Move '3d_paralax_strength' into correct section (3D mode).
Refer to 'active_object_send_range_blocks' instead of non-existent 'active_object_range'.
Floatland structure is vertically-compressed 3D noise.
Uses a lacunarity of 1.618 (the golden ratio) for high quality
noise.
Floatlands appear between user-settable Y limits, with smooth
tapering at each limit.
Simple user-settable density adjustment.
Shadow propagation is disabled in and just below floatlands, no
shadows are cast on the world surface.
Can be reconfigured to create a solid upper world layer between
the Y limits, lakes/seas can be optionally added to this.
This will likely be more intuitive for users and should play better
with sandboxed distributions such as Flatpak.
In addition, the screenshot directory will now be created if it doesn't
exist already.
Camera's near-plane will be hard-coded to 0.1 on all non-Android platforms. The upper-bound of this setting has been reduced to 0.25, as 0.5 is just way too high.
Low-disruption first step towards removing the hardcoded cave liquid
code. Since MT 5.0.0 cave liquids can be defined and located by
biome definitions instead.
In games that do not yet use biome definitions to define and locate
cave liquids (MTGame does), lava will now appear below
y = water_level - 256 instead of below 'lava depth' (usually y = -256).
Therefore no change in most mapgens if using the default 'lava depth'.
Previously, the only way to disable the 3D noise tunnels was to set
'cave width' > 1.0, however doing so did not disable the very intensive
noise calculations or the generation loop.
All the other types of cave generation (randomwalk caves, caverns)
can already be independently and completely disabled.
This feature is now needed more because the small randomwalk caves are
now available for use as an alternative to the 3D noise tunnels.
Add mapgen parameters to set the range of the random number of
randomwalk caves per mapchunk, and to set the proportion that are
flooded with liquids.
Default values are, for now, unchanged from the previous hardcoded
values.
Add parameters to allow small randomwalk caves
Disabled by default for now as they have never been present in the
non-mgv6 mapgens.
Revert gamma upper limit to 3.0 because that was raised based on
a misunderstanding and had no benefit. A sane upper limit is
needed as players on a competitive server tend to use the maximum.
Set gamma lower limit to 0.33 for consistency with 3.0.
Set sane limits on alpha, beta, boost and enforce these in code
to limit values entered in minetest.conf and to avoid easy cheating
by editing settingtypes.txt.
Improve documentation and 'readable' setting names.
Clarify that gamma does not significantly affect natural night light.
light.cpp: Various codestyle and comment improvements.
Previously, the 'rivers' checkbox was missing for mgcarpathian, caused by the 'possible flags' order: 'caverns,nocaverns,rivers,norivers'.
Also reorder mgcarpathian 'possible flags', but only for consistency.
The setting now accepts values between 1 and 8 in the
Advanced Settings menu.
Values 0 and 1 now behave the same way (setting it to 1 won't
disable MSAA anymore), so there's no need to expose 0 as a value.
This closes#8939.
Before opening the file for writing, its file size is tested. If it exceeds 50 MB, it is moved to debut.txt.1, otherwise the log is appended to the old messages. An old debut.txt.1 is removed if it already exists.
Improve 'readable' setting names for waving water settings.
Change 'near plane' to 'near clipping plane'.
Document physics settings.
mgv6_spflags:
Change 'new biome system' to 'snowbiomes flag' for clarity.
Add missing 'noflat' flag to default flags.
v6 always last to discourage selection.
Special mapgens flat, fractal, singlenode, next to last. Of these, singlenode
last to discourage selection.
Of the remaining, v5 last due to age, v7 first due to being the default.
