This makes the functions a bit faster since they don't
have to recreate the tables every invocation, and makes
the code more readable.
Also, document `wallmounted_to_dir`.
The function was implemented but not documented in `lua_api.txt`.
The engine implementation of `print` packs the varargs into a
table and passes the table directly to `table.concat`. If you
pass any value not supported by `table.concat` (particularly
`nil`), the server crashes. This is unexpected behavior, as
`print` is supposed to be able to work with anything.
This patch changes the implementation so it first converts
all arguments using `tostring`, which fixes the issue and
makes the custom `print` function compatible with the stock
Lua behavior.
Replace simple caves with V5 caves, adding unpredictable water and lava
settings and massive caves based on subterrain. Remove fast terrain mode
and accompanying settings. Remove superfluous temperature/humidity
settings. Remove lava/water height setting. Fix errors in humidity
handling and remove humidity_break_point setting. Move cave noises to
generateCaves. Fix minor formatting/naming issues and use
MYMAX/MYMIN/myround.
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.
The save button is now fully functional again when an error message
is shown.
After an invalid value is entered in the settings tab dialog, the GUI
label for the error message that is shown was partly overlapping the
'save' button, so that the top half of the button could not be clicked
on.
Changes:
- Accept setting an empty flags-type value in the settings tab
if the variable specification permits it
- Don't accept substrings of flag values
E.g. with values: 'one,two,three', 'hree', 'w', etc. used to
be accepted. Not any more
- Don't accept flags with random pattern-matching special characters
E.g. with values: 'one,two,three', 'on.', '(o)[n]e*' etc. used
to be accepted. Not any more.
- Accept numbers prefixed with '+'
- Accept multiple spaces instead of just a single one where spaces are expected
- Allow flags to have an empty default value
The pageflip mode requires a stereo quadbuffer, and a modern graphic
card. Patch tested with NVidia 3D Vision.
The mini-map is not drawn, but that's what is done for topbottom and
sidebyside modes as well.
Also most of the time the user would prefer the HUD to be off. That's
for the user to decide though, and toggle it manually.
Finally, the interocular distance (aka eye separation) is twice as much
as the "3d_paralax_strength" settings. I find this a strange design
decision. I didn't want to chance this though, since it's how the other
3d modes interpret this settings.

Plus corresponding julia set for each
Add credits for formulas
Rename parameter 'formula' to 'fractal'
Speed optimisations
* Horizontal and vertical are used wrongly. Use height and width because
horizontal/vertical describes different things. Thanks @kilbith for pointing out.
* Update minetest.conf.example and settings_translation_file.cpp
* Correct maximum/minimum copy paste mistake.
Flag is set by default in MapgenParams
The global 'trees' flag remains but is now
undocumented and unset by default in MapgenParams
Add mgv6_spflag 'trees' set by default in
defaultsettings.cpp to affect new worlds only
This is automatically backwards
compatible for existing worlds
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.
Increase default from 6 to 16 to help with mgv7 and mgfractal
Large-scale or alternative mapgens can result in a lowland spawn point not
being found, causing a spawn at (0, 0, 0) possibly buried underground
The max height is now settable to allow correct player spawn
in any mapgen or when using custom noise parameters
* 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")
According to its man page, the function gettext(3)
"may return a nonempty string" when msgid is "".
This commit fixes a bug where the comment ""
for some settings caused gettext to return a
"nonempty string", in this case header info of the
po file.
- 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
1. Check for entity addition success in spawn_item implementation
2. Check for success in item_drop callback, so that the player
doesn't lose the item if they are outside bounds and try to drop it.
3. When existing player joins game, check that their position is inside
map bounds. If not, set their position to the return value of findSpawnPos().
4. Make findSpawnPos() respect the border
2 fixes a lua crash if a player drops an item outside map bounds.
3 fixes an assertion crash if a player leaves when being outside map bounds,
and then rejoins.
The Irrlicht engine supports antialiasing, and Minetest already supports
saving an antialiasing setting in its configuration file. However,
Minetest lacked UI elements to set this setting, and previously the only
way to enable the feature was by hand-editing the configuration file.
Add a drop-down menu that can enable antialiasing.
Change the name for texture pack description files from "info.txt" to "description.txt" in order to keep the naming consistent between description files for both mods and texture packs.
Also add backwards compatibility for texture packs that use "info.txt", and note in the log that "info.txt" is depreciated.
On calling clear_redistered_biomes the registered_biomes table is cleared
by creating a new empty table, but the pointer is not updated to point to
the new one. So after calling more register_biome, the registered_biome
table always contains 0 items, which is an error. Instead, the table is
cleared by removing all its items so the pointer (minetest.registered_*)
remains valid.
Client now informs about incompatible servers from the list, this permits to prevent the protocol movements.
Server announces its supported protocol versions to master server
Set builtin formspecs to autoscale in order to get consistent formspec look and feel
Uncouple label positioning from font size (May break some formspecs but is required to allow manual font adjustment)
This should probably be removed when minetest_game has proper biomes.
If I hear "the whole map is just stone!" again after this, I am going to detonate.
According to doc/lua_api.txt if paramtype2 == "facedir" the two least significant bits of parm2 orient the texture around the axis. For dirs1 (looking at a wall) these would be 0, 1, 2, 3 and for dirs2 (looking at the ceiling) 2, 1, 0, 3
Changes:
* Indentation with tabs by default.
* Array keys dumped without "[i] = " prefix.
* String keys that are valid identifiers aren't enclosed in '[""]'.
* Basic support for multiple references (as specified in the comment).
Config settings:
profiling = true/false (gather statistics)
detailed_profiling = true/false (break mod times to callbacks)
Chat commands:
save_mod_profile saves current statistics in debug.txt and shows on console (on default loglevel)
