CS_HelloSent is a better indicator of active slots than CS_Created, which are session objects created after init packet reception
Switch existing checks to ClientInterface::isUserLimitReached()
Use range-based for loop for getClientIds() used function too
This will fix#6254 (not the memory overhead if init is flooded)

When minetest is launched, if there was no nameprovided in
configuration or parameters, the game would not show any error in
console. if the --go parameter was also prowided, the game would
exit without an error. This is undesired behavior, so this merged
commit add the missing function that displays the missing error
message in console.
Gives starting singleplayer games this subtle "dawn of a new world" feel.
I would have set it even earlier (up to 4:45am), but I was worried that in
some pre-existing games the player could be overwhelmed by hostile
mobs right at the start, seriously changing gameplay.
It's just the default, individual games should be able to override it, and
for public servers it's irrelevant anyway, because only the first player to
set foot in the world will notice, and that's usually the server admin.
Another small general problem: the player is always standing exactly on the
bondary between 2 nodes e.g. Y=1.5 is exactly between nodes Y=1 and Y=2.
floatToInt() and myround() will round +/-n.5 always 'outwards' to +/-(n+1),
which means they behave differently depending on where you are: they round
upwards above sea level and downwards when underground. This inconsistency
comes from the way the coordinates are calculated, independent of the
specific C++ code.
The result is a tiny bit of lost performance when moving underground,
because 1 node level more than necessary is checked for collisions. This can
be amended by adding a tiny offset to minpos_f.Y, like @paramat suggested.
This is not an elegant solution, but still better than wasting CPU.
To determine the area (nodes) where a player movement took place
collisionMoveSimple() first took the old/new player coordinates and rounded
them to integers, then added the player character's collision box and
implicitely rounded the result. This has 2 problems:
Rounding the position and the box seperately, then adding the resulting
integers means you get twice the rounding error. And implicit rounding
always rounds towards 0.0, unlike floatToInt(), which rounds towards the
closest integer.
Previous (simplified) behavior: round(pos)+(int)box, for example player at
Y=0.9, body is 1.75m high: round(0.9)+(int)1.75 = 1+1 = 2.
==> A character's height of 1.75m always got rounded down to 1m, its width
of +/-0.3 even became 0.
Fixed by adding the floats first, then rounding properly: round(pos+box) =
round(0.9+1.75) = round(2.65) = 3.
Construct dungeons from the node defined as biome 'node_stone' if
'mapgen_stone', 'mapgen_desert_stone' and 'mapgen_sandstone' are not
detected.
Feature long-intended by kwolekr/hmmmm and present in code as a TODO.
Move point at which light is sampled up to 0.5 nodes above foot level,
to avoid that point sometimes passing into the node below causing the
model to go dark.
The getBackgroundBrightness() function detects darkness in the view direction
to decide when to make the skybox dark. The volume checked was too narrow and
missed the left and right edges of the view, too easily causing a dark skybox.
Widen the checked volume to match a FOV of 72 degrees and a 16:9 aspect ratio
game window.
Remove usage of the SharedBuffer in zlib compression which has two problems:
* We copied the whole memory block to compress it (not good with mapblocks)
* We copied sometimes strings to SharedBuffer to SharedBuffer (2nd time)
Use this method in MapNode::serializeBulk + optimize serialization but merging 3 identical loops in a single loop
correctBlockNodeIds does 2 lookups for each loaded node, one to translate DB ID to name and a second to translate name to real ID. Name to real ID is very consumming if done on every node. As mapblocks are in most cases composed of many identical adjacent nodes, cache previous source and destination id and use them on the next node to prevent any lookup on those maps.
This reduce the function load from 15% of my CPU usage to ~0.7%, on the test, calls was reduced from 2.5M lookups to 42k lookups, it's a huge performance gain
* TileLayer: use shared_ptr for vector framespec
This reduce memory copy of TileLayer from (4 to 16) * FrameSpec where FrameSpec = (sizeof(int) + 3 * sizeof(ptr)) to int + sizeof(ptr)
Callgrind difference

* Fix one push_back to use vector::emplace_back & optimize inclusions
* VoxelManip cleanups (const ref, const move) permitting to improve a little bit performance
* VoxelArea: precalculate extent (performance enhancement)
This permits to reduce extend high cost to zero and drop many v3s16 object creation/removal to calculate extent
It rebalance the client thread update to updateFastFaceRow instead of MapBlockMesh generation
This will also benefits to mapgen
Allows setting of the mountain 'zero level' (y where density gradient is zero).
It is easy to vertically shift smooth terrain by editing noise parameter 'offset',
but vertically shifting mountain terrain was complex and imprecise, involving
making a calculation based on an average of the mountain height parameter.
Ensure in-cloud fog is always stronger than outside-of-cloud-fog even when
using a small view range.
Also limit in-cloud fog range to a maximum of 32 nodes to keep it fairly
strong when using a large view range.
The change from 800x600 to 1024x576 (16:9) was a reduction in height which caused
user interface to become smaller.
Continue to use width 1024 as it is a common small screen width.
* [CSM] Add flavour limits controlled by server
Server send flavour limits to client permitting to disable or limit some Lua calls
* Add limits for reading nodedefs and itemdefs
* flavour: Add lookup node limits
* Merge get_node_or_nil into get_node.
Sending fake node doesn't make sense in CSM, just return nil if node is not available for any reason
* Add node range customization when noderange flavour is enabled (default 8 nodes)
* Limit nodes range & disable chat message sending by default
* Bump protocol version
Spawn player 1 node higher to avoid spawning waist-deep in a possible
biome 'dust' node, such as tundra snowblock.
Tune default offset to spawn players in a more interesting location on the
mandelbrot sets, on a raised area that looks like a spawn platform.
Tune julia parameters to help avoid spawn search failing, especially for
fractal 6.
For consistency return to 'FPS =', add comma before FPS.
Remove 'R' from 'range_all' as may be re-keymapped.
Remove inconsistent brackets from 'range_all'.
Change 'v_range' to 'view_range'.
Add 'pos = ' before co-ordinates.
Add spaces around '=' in yaw display.
Remove brackets from around 'yaw' and 'seed'.
Move 'pointing_at' to 3rd line.
Remove 'param1' (0 for all solid nodes and unreadable for light sources due to
light bank encoding).
Remove file name of pointed node top tile (this also removes the need to get
ContentFeatures for the node, slightly improving performance).
Replace quotes around node data with brackets, looks better and more consistent.
Add 'guitext3' for third line.
Use 'setVisible' for all 3 lines to control the setting of each text rectangle.
Improve logic of 3rd line to only run code it needs to depending on whether
pointing data is avaialble and whether node is not 'ignore' and not 'unknown'.
* New TOCLIENT_CHAT_MESSAGE packet
* Rename old packet to TOCLIENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_OLD for compat
* Handle TOCLIENT_CHAT_MESSAGE new structure client side
* Client chat queue should use a specific object
* SendChatMessage: use the right packet depending on protocol version (not complete yet)
* Add chatmessage(type) objects and handle them client side (partially)
* Use ChatMessage instead of std::wstring server side
* Update with timestamp support
Fix taking damage caused by sneaking over a nodebox gap.
Fix strange behaviour on stair nodeboxes.
Enable jumping from node edges while sneaking.
Enable movement around corners while sneaking on a 1-node-high groove in a wall.
Add 'biome_zero_level' argument to 'generateBiomes()', 'deco_zero_level'
argument to 'placeAllDecos()' and 'ore_zero_level' to 'placeAllOres()'
to allow mapgens to vertically shift the registered biomes, decorations
and ores per-mapchunk.
Will also allow many realm possibilities in future mapgens.
Useful for underwater plants.
Node consists of a base cube plus a plantlike extension that can pass through
liquid nodes above without creating air bubbles or interfering with liquid flow.
Uses paramtype2 'leveled', param2 defines height of plantlike extension.
This commit introduces Raycast, a Lua user object, which can be
used to perform a raycast on the map. The ray is continuable, so one can
also get hidden nodes (for example to see trough glass).
