* Fix textarea formspec documentation
The label is shown and the background isn't
* Document the missing gamma correction when generating mip maps
* Remove duplicate text (such as size parameter descriptions)
Add 2 new mapgen flags to make river depth variation and humidity drop
with altitude independently optional, instead of both being enabled by
the 'humid rivers' flag.
Simplify and clarify related code by removing a low priority
optimisation regarding 't_heat'.
Remove unnecessary optimisation bools and use spflags directly instead.
Improve and fix documentation in settingtypes.txt.
A few minor code cleanups.
Previously the only way to disable biomes was to 'clear' the registered
biomes in a mod, but this method causes large amounts of unnecessary
processing:
1. Calculation of 4 2D noises.
2. Looping through all nodes of a mapchunk replacing nodes with identical
nodes.
The new flag disables those operations.
In the client, raise lower limit from 30 to 45 degrees, to avoid server
seeing this as a zoom and loading world beyond the server-set limit.
Add minimum in settingtypes.txt and enforce lower limit when set using
minetest.conf.
In the server, distrust the client-sent FOV if below the heuristic zoom
threshold and use the player object property 'zoom_fov' to check it, to
protect against hacked clients.
* Android: Replace movement buttons with joystick
Replace movement control buttons (arrows at bottom left screen) with virtual joystick.
Joystick has 8 directions (same as keyboard). Basically, just map it to keyboard input.
Joystick applies only on left 1/3 of screen.
Joystick's position can be fixed by enabling fixed_virtual_joystick setting.
Three new images:
(1) placeholder joystick,
(2) joystick container (background), and
(3) joystick cursor.
Remove unused images: movement control buttons (*_arrow.png).
New data type: touch_gui_joystick_move_id
Joystick's fixed position is spaced one button size from bottom and from left of screen.
Remove unused variable: m_joystick_downlocation
Use the --color command line parameter instead of a setting for coloured logs
This fixes the missing warningstream bug, g_settings->get mustn't be used there.
Also, the decision about en- or disabling log colours fits better to the command line parameters than minetest settings.
The following languages exist in Minetest PO folder were missing from the selection menu:
- dv (Dhivehi)
- ms (Malay)
- sl (Slovenian)
- sv (Swedish)
- sw (Swahili)
Remove player object property 'can zoom'.
Add player object property 'zoom fov'.
Remove clientside setting for 'zoom fov'.
Object property default is 15 degrees in creative mode, zoom disabled
in survival mode.
Needed due to zoom now loading and/or generating distant world
according to zoom FOV.
Update object properties serialisation version to 3.
Formspec input for each individual noise parameter and flag.
Allow noise flags to be set in advanced settings, previously only settable
in minetest.conf.
Standardise 'group format' for noise parameters set in minetest.conf, as
only these support noise flags. However the older 'single line' format is
still accepted to support existing minetest.conf files.
Therefore auto-generate minetest.conf.example with noise parameters in
'group format'.
Setting 'type' in settingtypes.txt is now either 'noise_params_2D' or
'noise_params_3D', the dimension number is displayed in the advanced
settings edit page.
Implement network communication for channels
* Implement ModChannel manager server side to route incoming messages from clients to other clients
* Add signal handler switch on client & ModChannelMgr on client to handle channels
* Add Lua API bindings + client packet sending + unittests
* Implement server message sending
* Add callback from received message handler to Lua API using registration method
Feature is unnecessary and would greatly complicate future development,
it would also make 'get biome at pos' extremely complex.
Mgv7: Revert option to repeat surface biomes in floatlands, which
depended on the above.
