This adds a chat console the server owner can use for administration
or to talk with players.
It runs in its own thread, which makes the user interface immune to
the server's lag, behaving just like a client, except timeout.
As it uses the same console code as the f10 console, things like nick
completion or a scroll buffer basically come for free.
The terminal itself is written in a general way so that adding a
client version later on is just about implementing an interface.
Fatal errors are printed after the console exists and the ncurses
terminal buffer gets cleaned up with endwin(), so that the error still
remains visible.
The server owner can chose their username their entered text will
have in chat and where players can send PMs to.
Once the username is secured with a password to prevent anybody to
take over the server, the owner can execute admin tasks over the
console.
This change includes a contribution by @kahrl who has improved ncurses
library detection.
- SRP: print the address only once, not twice
- Legacy: previously the address was not printed at all
- Make both messages structurally the same, to facilitate log analyzers
1. Do two renames:
* SER_FMT_CLIENT_VER_LOWEST -> SER_FMT_VER_LOWEST_WRITE
* SER_FMT_VER_LOWEST -> SER_FMT_VER_LOWEST_READ
Now the two define values are consistently named with the _WRITE defines
SER_FMT_VER_{HIGHEST,LOWEST}_WRITE, and to better point out what the two
serialisation versions actually are for.
2. wrap some lines in doc/worldformat.txt, and point out that the node
timers are serialized at a later point, as this can cause confusion about
what now happens (if one doesn't strictly read the if block's conditions).
3. some whitespace fixes in NodeTimerList::serialize, and one new comment.
-> Fix server crash with protocol >=25 if a default password is set.
-> Remove some useless and possibly confusion causing code for the TOCLIENT_FIRST_SRP packet handler
Use wide_to_utf8 and utf8_to_wide instead of wide_to_narrow and narrow_to_wide at almost all places.
Only exceptions: test functions for narrow conversion, and chat, which is done in a separate commit.
Adds everything needed for SRP (and everything works too),
but still deactivated, as protocol v25 init packets aren't final yet.
Can be activated by changing the LATEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION header to 25
inside networkprotocol.h.
Change types for passed password from wstring to string, which removes converting
back and forth in most cases. Move the narrow_to_wide conversion, where its neccessary,
closer to irrlicht. Remove trailing spaces in guiPasswordChange.cpp. Make parameters for
translatePassword passed as const reference.
Move debug streams to log.cpp|h
Move GUI-related globals to clientlauncher
Move g_settings and g_settings_path to settings.cpp|h
Move g_menuclouds to clouds.cpp|h
Move g_profiler to profiler.cpp|h
* Combine client and server man pages.
* Update unit test options and available databases in man page.
* Add `--worldname` to man page.
* Fix a bunch of places where `"Minetest"` was used directly instead of `PROJECT_NAME`.
* Disable server build by default on all operating systems.
* Make `ENABLE_FREETYPE` not fail if FreeType isn't found.
* Enable LevelDB, Redis, and FreeType detection by default.
* Remove the `VERSION_PATCH_ORIG` hack.
* Add option to search for and use system JSONCPP.
* Remove broken LuaJIT version detection.
* Rename `DISABLE_LUAJIT` to `ENABLE_LUAJIT`.
* Rename `minetest_*` variables in `version.{h,cpp}` to `g_*`.
* Clean up style of CMake files.
Client doesn't like to receive multiples SendInventory for one action, this can trigger glitches on clients (sometimes due to incorrect UDP packet ordering due to UDP protocol)
This fix issue #2544
