I could honestly not make much sense of the timer implementation
that was here. Instead I've implemented the type of timer algorithm
that I've used before, and tested it instead.
The concept is extremely simple: all timers are put in an ordered
list. We check every server tick if any of the timers have
elapsed, and execute the function associated with this timer.
We know that many timers by themselves cause new timers to be
added to this list, so we iterate *backwards* over the timer
list. This means that new timers being added while timers are
being executed, can never be executed in the same function pass,
as they are always appended to the table *after* the end of
the table, which we will never reach in the current pass over
all the table elements.
We switch time keeping to minetest.get_us_time(). dtime is
likely unreliable and we have our own high-res timer that we
can fix if it is indeed broken. This removes the need to do
any sort of time keeping.
clock_gettime() is a far better clock than gettimeofday().
Even better than clock_gettime() is that you can select either
CLOCK_MONOTONIC, or even CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW. These clocks offer
high precision time. And the _RAW variant will never roll back
due to NTP drift or daylight savings, or otherwise.
I've adjusted this code to select the right clock method auto-
matically based on what's available in the OS. This means that
if you're running a very old linux version, MacOS or other,
you will automatically get the best clocksource available.
I've tested all Linux clocksources by selectively compiling and
running a 10k+ timer test suite. In all cases I confirmed that
the 3 POSIX Linux clocksources worked properly, and were
selected properly.
I've modified the OS X compile path to use the high-res clock
source for all time functions, but I can't confirm it works or
that it compiles.
As for WIN32, I confirmed that the used clocksource is indeed
a Monotonic clocksource, so good news: that code section appears
to be exactly what it should be.
Backface culling is enabled by default for all tiles, as this
is how the lua parser initializes each tiledef. We revert to
always using the value from the tiledef since it is always
read and serialized.
Mods that wish to enable culling for e.g. mesh nodes, now can
specify the following to enable backface culling:
tiles = {{ name = "tex.png", backface_culling = true }},
Note the double '{' and use of 'name' key here! In the same
fashion, backface_culling can be disabled for any node now.
I've tested this against the new door models and this properly
allows me to disable culling per node. I've also tested this
against my crops mod which uses mesh nodes where culling needs
to be disabled, and tested also with plantlike drawtype nodes
where we want this to continue to be disabled.
No default setting has changed. The defaults are just migrated
from nodedef.cpp to c_content.cpp.

Also add to LuaVoxelManip calc_lighting for use in mapgen mods
Remove the 2 argument calcLighting, mapgens now use the 5
argument form to specify the volumes for propagateSunlight and
spreadLight
In mgsinglenode replace calcLighting with setLighting and
clean-up use of tabs and spaces
* Add key settings to setting table and ignore them later
This way they are added to the auto-generated minetest.conf.example
* Add flags type
* Add input validation for int, float and flags
* Break in-game graphic settings into multiple sections
* Parse settingtpes.txt in mods and games
* Improve description for a lot of settings
* Fix typos and wording in settingtypes.txt
* Convert language setting to an enum
The callback can now be invoked with either the player object or name as
the first parameter, and with either a table or a list of strings, like
this:
minetest.check_player_privs(player_name, { shout = true, fly = true })
minetest.check_player_privs(player_name, "shout", "fly")
minetest.check_player_privs(player, { shout = true, fly = true })
minetest.check_player_privs(player, "shout", "fly")
- Add warning log level
- Change debug_log_level setting to enumeration string
- Map Irrlicht log events to MT log events
- Encapsulate log_* functions and global variables into a class, Logger
- Unify dstream with standard logging mechanism
- Unify core.debug() with standard core.log() script API
This might break some mods, but it is important for all uses of the param2 to
be documented.
This doesn't need a serialisation version or network protocol version change,
as old clients will still work on new servers, and it is bearable to have
new clients getting non rotated plants on old servers.
It returns the index used in mg->biomemap for a given biome name.
The biomemap is useless without this unless you re-register all existing biomes,
which could cause problems for anyone else trying to use biomemap.
With this, you can quickly create a lookup table of ids and names.
Because not all circles are round:
* circles using an euclidean metric are what we usually call "round"
* circles using a maximum metric look like euclidean rectangles with equal adjacent sides (squares)
* circles using a manhattan metric look like an euclidean right angled rhombus (squares, but 45° rotated to the former one)

Modders are now able to select the range of ore column height,
and the midpoint at which they 'grow' starting from.
This commit adds three new parameters for the 'sheet' ore type:
column_height_min, column_height_max, and column_midpoint_factor.
clust_size is now deprecated for this ore type.
The neighbours checked are the 8 nodes horizontally surrounding the decoration base
and the 8 nodes horizontally surrounding the ground node below the decoration
Adds list-rings, a method to implement item sending between inventories via shift-click.
Nice insider feature: a ring consisting of a single inventory list serves as nice clean-up method.
Also adds them to minimal game, and the standard inventory.
Craft output slots are not supported.
This adds the ability to grab 'slices' of noise calculated by PerlinNoiseMap.
Retrieving smaller slices of noise from the computation result as needed
optimizes memory usage while maintaining a reasonable amount of CPU overhead.
NodeResolver name lists now belong to the NodeResolver object instead of
the associated NodeDefManager. In addition to minimizing unnecessary
abstraction and overhead, this move permits NodeResolvers to look up nodes
that they had previously set pending for resolution. So far, this
functionality has been used in the case of schematics for
serialization/deserialization.
- General code cleanup
- Unified object creation and loading
- Specifying objects in APIs is now orthogonal (i.e. anything can take an ID,
name string, or the raw table definition (and automatically registers if present
Just Markdown, no variant of it. File name intentionally
not changed to “lua_api.md” because of fear to break references
to that file. The file can still be renamed later.
Changes:
* Add extra documentation for remove_item.
This isn't as silly as it sounds: iterate a list containing items with
unique metadata each, and remove_item the first one you find, placing
into a different - fine, except the remove will invariably remove the
wrong one, leading to items being duplicated and others destroyed.
Arguably it's a bug, and Inventory::removeItem should actually remove
the item you tell it to. (i.e. if the passed ItemStack has metadata,
match it). But it seems reasonable to just document the behaviour
more clearly.
* Improve string_to_pos documentation.
* Clarify dig_node documentation (return value).
* Better on_step documentation.
* get_nodemeta -> get_meta.
* Other minor fixes.

Background
Wuzzy2: If you attempt to spawn a L-system tree with minetest.spawn_tree, you can make Minetest crash if it is attempted to pop an empty stack.
ShadowNinja: This shouldn't cause a segmentation fault, but it should throw a Lua error
Commit Description
This commit throws a Lua error instead of causing a segmentation fault. The server will still "crash" but will include a Lua backtrace.
L-Systems fix randomness
Unless a random seed is provided (via Lua treedef) seed the PRNG with a different seed for each tree
