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.
* Abort set_item when it does nothing
* Do not adjust dropped item size linearly
Instead use cube root because the item count is proportional to the volume, not to the length.
* Make the item rotate slower when it's bigger
Bigger items chafe more on the ground, so they can't rotate as fast as small ones
* Fix items flying in air
* Implement minetest.register_on_userlimit_check
This new callback permits to bypass the max_users parameter with new mods condition, based on player name or IP
Only one mod needs to permit it.
Move core part for builtin privileges checks to builtin
* Formspec: Add options to set background color and opacity (fullscreen mode)
* Enhance previous comment: Set formspec background when regenerate UI.
* This permit to do the calcul only at regen and override it with bgcolor tag
* Add a setting for default background color into formspec, separated from fullscreen
* Add a little performance gain on formspecs using a const ref instead of copying formspec string
Move client 'controls', 'graphics' and 'sound' into the first level to be
immediately visible to players who may not realise these come under 'client'.
These are the settings that new players or players on a server are likely to
want to access while not having understanding of what comes under 'client'.
Leave client 'network' and 'advanced' under 'client' as these are more
advanced.
Move 'show entity selection boxes' from the bizarre location in
'client'>'network' to 'graphics'>'in game'>'advanced'.
* Setting: Safe digging and placing
* New setting 'safe_dig_and_place' under Controls
* If set, digging and placing will not auto-repeat
* Releasing buttons unblocks the respective action again
* Useful for inexperienced users in creative mode where default
repeat times may be too short
* Safe placing (right click repetition) does not need a guarding flag
* Added new setting to minetest.conf.example
* Respect object property hp_max field for players
This allows modders to configure the maximal HP per player
* Statbars: Downscale bar to full 20 HP when exceeding this value
Add default max HP for players and breath constants to builtin
Document the constants
* Rename PLAYER_MAX_HP -> PLAYER_MAX_HP_DEFAULT
* Make world creation menu automatically generate a name.
* Name is now initialy empty, and generated if player tries to create a world without a name.
Minetest performance improvement has been huge since months, server step reduction will permit to handle client events a little bit faster without too many penalty costs due to core engine
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.
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
* Load client-side mods into memory before executing them.
This removes the remaining filesystem access that client-sided mods had and it will hopefully make then more secure.
* Lua Virtual filesystem: don't load the files into memory just scan the filenames into memory.
* Fix the issues with backtrace
* fix most of the issues
* fix code style.
* add a comment
As with 'large_cave_depth', lava depth was previously a fixed y value and
therefore incompatible with the ability to shift terrain vertically.
Add 'lava_depth' mapgen parameter to mgflat, mgfractal, mgv5, mgv7.
The value cannot be fixed because we can shift terrain vertically.
This also makes these mapgens consistent with mgflat and mgvalleys which
have 'large_cave_depth' parameters.
* Automatic item and node colorization
Now nodes with a palette yield colored item stacks, and colored items
place colored nodes by default. The client predicts the colorization.
* Backwards compatibility
* Use nil
* Style fixes
* Fix code style
* Document changes
- Allow lua to chose whatever directories or files can be selected
- Fix selecting directories
- Rename dialog to `guiPathSelectMenu` from `guiFileSelectMenu`
- Rename lua function for opening the menu from `show_file_open_dialog` to `show_path_select_dialog`
- Remove duplicate code and fix code style.
Related changes
- fix `clang-format` whitelist.
- Regenerate minetest.conf.example
Replace the textlist used if the shaders checkbox is unchecked in the settings tab of the main menu with labels. This makes the formspec feel more consistent as the items do not move when shaders is unchecked but only change colour and the checkboxes beside them disappear.
These code be generated by CSM, a modded client or just copy and pasted by the player.
Changes
- Update configuration example and setting translation file.
- Remove colour codes before logging chat.
- Add setting to remove colour codes before processing the chat.
The following algorithm was used when selecting contributors:
* Every non-trivial contributor from the current release,
Non-trivial meaning more than X non-trivial commits, not counting documentation/translation changes
* The top Y contributors from the last 4 years.
* Previous contributor means no contributions since a few months before the last release.
In the future this should be automated
* [CSM] Add send_chat_message and run_server_chatcommand API functions
* Add client-side chat message rate limiting
* Limit out chat queue size
* [CSM] Add minetest.clear_out_chat_queue API function and .clear_chat_queue chatcommand
* Last fixes/cleanups before merge
Allow players to clear their own inventory or that of another player with /clearinv command. server privilege is required to clear another player's inventory, no privileges are required to clear your own inventory.'
This unifies the settings APIs.
This also unifies the sync and async registration APIs, since the async
registration API did not support adding non-functions to the API table.
* Remove redundant view_bobbing setting
Also fixes bug where disabling view_bobbing disables footstep sounds.
* Removes redundant view_bobbing setting
Setting view_bobbing amount to 0 is now the only way to
turn view_bobbing on and off. Also fixed a bug where footstep
sounds would not play when view_bobbing was disabled.
* Player data to Database
Add player data into databases (SQLite3 & PG only)
PostgreSQL & SQLite: better POO Design for databases
Add --migrate-players argument to server + deprecation warning
* Remove players directory if empty
Some information in conf.example cannot be generated from
settingtypes.txt, moving it to a new file makes generating
conf.example while preserving that information easier.
Regenerate conf.example from settingtypes.txt.
Cache size is configurable by the meshgen_block_cache_size (default 20 MB).
New profiler stats:
- MeshUpdateQueue MapBlock cache hit %
- MeshUpdateQueue MapBlock cache size kB
Removes one type of stutter that was seen on the client when received MapBlocks
were being handled. (the "MeshMakeData::fill" stutter)
Kind of related to at least #5239
Originally preceded by these commits, now includes them:
- Move the mesh generator thread into src/mesh_generator_thread.{cpp,h}
- mesh_generator_thread.cpp: Update code style
- MeshUpdateThread: Modify interface to house a different implementation: Actual functionality will be changed by next commits.
- MeshMakeData: Add fillBlockData() interface (so that caller can fill in stuff from eg. a MapBlock cache)
Adds uniform undersampling for the 3D rendered scene. GUI elements
are not undersampled, resulting in better playability for users
with low-performance platforms with readable fonts and formspecs.
The undersampling setting can be set to 0 (disabled), 2, 3, 4 pixels
which translates into a resolution reduction of x4, x9 or x16, and
is significant.
Adds the possibility to colorize item stacks based on their metadata.
In the item/node definition you can specify palette (an image file)
and color (fallback color if the item has no palette or metadata).
Then you can add palette_index to the metadata.
Dropped itemstacks with different colors do not merge.
* Add joystick type detection (with joystick_type setting to override it)
* Fix multiple joysticks from interfering with each other by only reading from one (add joystick_id setting)
* Add support for Xbox controllers
Add to MapgenBasic for use by multiple mapgens.
Add to mgv5 and mgv7, enabled by default.
Similar to mgvalleys caverns but half the scale.
Parameters for upper y limit, distance caverns taper to full size, and
noise threshold (full cavern size).
As with mgvalleys caverns are generated first and classic caves are
disabled in any mapchunk containing a cavern, to avoid excessive
spreading volumes of liquids.
This also avoids floating blobs of liquid where a large classic cave
has overgenerated out into a neighbouring previously-generated mapchunk.
Using the `dtime` value entirely, this will stop the clock
if the game is paused in singleplayer. Since most of the
clocks were fixed a long time ago, this should again be
safe to use.
The setting limits map generation but affects nothing else.
Add 'mapgen_limit' to global mapgen parameters.
Move 'blockpos_over_mapgen_limit()' to the only place it is called
from: map.cpp.
Allow teleportation to any part of the world even if over the set
mapgen limit.
Simplify the reading of this limit in mgvalleys.
Remove the 'map_generation_limit' setting.
* client side mods are located in clientmods/
* move builtin/preview.lua to clientmods/preview/init.lua as a preview mod
* refactor ModConfiguration class to work properly with client and server using child objects
* move some Server constructor mod load code to ModConfiguration to reduce code duplication between client and server
* remove mods.{cpp,h} unused functions
* use UNORDERED_SET instead of std::set in some modspec storages
* squashed: CSM: Implement register_globalstep
* Re-use fatal error mechanism from server to disconnect client on CSM error
* Little client functions cleanups
* squashed: CSM: add core.after function
* core.after is shared code between client & server
* ModApiUtil get_us_time feature enabled for client
* rename GameScripting to ServerScripting
* Make getBuiltinLuaPath static serverside
* Add on_shutdown callback
* Add on_receiving_chat_message & on_sending_chat_message callbacks
* ScriptApiBase: use IGameDef instead of Server
This permits to share common attribute between client & server
* Enable mod security in client side modding without conditions
Replace slow ItemStack get_definitions with registered_nodes one's and cached playername as it's used multiple times. Also removed local item = itemstack:peek_item() as it is never used.
Correct node placement prediction for attached colorwallmounted nodes.
Correct placement direction for colorfacedir and colorwallmounted nodes.
Correct detatch mechanism for attached colorwallmounted nodes.
Since local servers and local favorites have no ping value (these
are only provided by the server) we shouldn't load a broken
image filename.
Fixes#5238
We want to reduce the chance that we get lots and lots of node
timers all happening once a second, because we're better off doing
small bits of work as they are available.
Reducing this to 0.2 seconds will greatly reduce the total amount
of nodetimers that elapse at the same instance, while not effecting
total work load. This results in a far better chance of the server
keeping up with work loads.
The default of 15 is unchanged.
7 degrees is x10 magnification which is common for binoculars.
Alter hardcoded limits in camera.cpp:
Minimum 7 degrees.
Maximum 160 degrees to match upper limits in advanced settings.
Introduces two functions to unregister and override chatcommands.
minetest.unregister_chatcommand("<name>") and
minetest.override_chatcommand("<name>", {<redifinition>})
When the new set of biomes was added in MTGame the 'spread' for heat
and humidity noise parameters was increased to 1000, i forgot to update
settingtypes.txt and minetest.conf.
Remake the light_decode_table.
The table starts out without pre-filled in values since those
are always discarded by the code apparently. We calculate a
pseudo curve with gamma power function, and then apply a new
adjustment table.
The adjustment table is setup to make the default gamma of 2.2
look decent: not too dark at light level 3 or so, but too dark
at 1 and below to be playable. The curve is much smoother than
before and looks reasonable at the whole range, offering a
pleasant decay of light levels away from lights.
The `display_gamma` setting now actually does something logical:
the game is darker at values below 2.2, and brighter at values
above 2.2. At 3.0, the game is very bright, but still has a good
light scale. At 1.1 or so, the bottom 5 light levels are virtually
black, but you can still see enough detail at light levels 7-8,
so the range and spread is adequate.
I must add that my monitor is somewhat dark to begin with, since
I have a `hc` screen that doesn't dynamic range colors or try to
pull up `black` pixels for me (it is tuned for accurate color and
light levels), so this should look even better on more dynamic
display tunings.
As mgv7 is now the default mapgen i re-checked its tunnel width on request,
discovered they needed to be wider, and have made this change.
This commit widens the identical 3D noise tunnels in the other mapgens in
exactly the same way.
This fixes a bug existing in modmgr.lua as reported by @Wuzzy2 which
caused the mod dependency list to glitch if input was using a line
terminator different than the OS default.
The C++ code does not need any changes as it already trims CR
occurrences on platforms on which the line termination sequence is LF.
Taken into account the size of the depends.txt files used, this should
not introduce a noticeable performance regression.
Fixes#4720
It would complain that the value should be higher than the lower
bound, when it should be higher than or equal to the lower bound.
Similar issue for the upper bound.
This combats the problem of sending the hundreds of
"creative" / "armor" or whatever detached invs that
exist on popular servers to each and every player
on join or on change of said invs.
If a tool wears out and is destroyed, it's itemstack count
goes to 0, and we can optionally play a breaking sound.
This patch implements playing a breaking sound when this
occurs. Sounds need to be added to the tool itemdef
registration as the sound name string in the .sound.breaks
member.
Fixes#4778 which was about the error:
ServerError: Lua: Runtime error from mod '' in callback item_OnPlace():
/usr/local/share/minetest/builtin/game/item.lua:278: attempt to call global 'check_attached_node' (a nil value)
The issue was a regression of commit 649448a2a91fbf3e944b2f2e739f4e2292af1df0
"Rename nodeupdate and nodeupdate_single and make them part of the official API"
Now, the renamed forms of nodeupdate and nodeupdate_single are part of the official API.
As nodeupdate has been used by Minetest Game and in mods despite of not
being part of the official API, we ease the transition by still supporting
it for the 0.4.15 release. After the release, the two functions can be removed.
The removal will not violate the stability promise, as that promise only
includes the official and documented API.
Also, make some formerly global functions local. They most likely haven't
been used by mods, therefore they won't get stubs with deprecation warnings,
hard erroring directly.
Original commit by t4im, rebased and developed by paramat.
Fix CONTENT_IGNORE being replaced by falling nodes or causing large
areas of sand to collapse into itself.
Format some conditional code for clarity.
Add and clarify some comments.
Move static object storage force-delete message from errorstream to
warningstream.
Increase 'max objects per block' setting to 64.
Add missing spaces in warning code.
The fallback vector is in case 'wallmounted to dir' is nil due
to voxelmanip placing a wallmounted node without resetting a
pre-existing param2 value that is out-of-range for wallmounted.
The fallback vector corresponds to param2 = 0.
Re-add documentation of noise parameter formats.
Re-add 'mgv5_np_ground' noise parameters in group format.
Both these were deleted through auto-generation of conf.example.
Add note to builtin/mainmenu/dlg_settings_advanced.lua that this
documentation must be preserved.
Add 'core.LIGHT_MAX = 14' to builtin/game/constants.lua with the intention
to replace misplaced 'default.LIGHT_MAX = 14' in Minetest Game.
Add comment in light.h requiring the constant be changed in both places.
Add lighting bug warning to note in lua_api.txt.
There are hundreds of mod uses of 15 which causes a lighting bug.
Disable the ability to connect to old servers by default to
improve password security.
If people still want to connect to old (0.4.12 and earlier)
servers, they can flip the send_pre_v25_init setting.
Add the ability to detect if we've tried to connect
to a server which only supports the pre v25 init protocol,
and show an apropriate error message. Most times the error
will already be catched at the serverlist level, the
detection mechanism only acts as last resort, because the
"Connection timed out" error message that would be shown
otherwise would be very confusing.
Automatic "fixing" of this condition is not desired,
as it would allow for downgrade attacks.
As already 161 of the 167 servers on the serverlist
support the new srp based auth protocol (> 96%),
the breakage should be minimal.
Follow up of commit
af30183124d40a969040d7de4b3a487feec466e4 "Add option to not send pre v25 init packet"
Also change the pessimistic assumption of masterlist
server versions to optimistic, in order to avoid buggy
behaviour (favourites not in the serverlist would be
denied to connect to, etc).
Avoids unreachable code linter warning by moving generation code
(of minetest.conf.example and settings_translation_file.cpp)
out of dlg_settings_advanced.
Due to passing the settings, also it avoids reading the settings file twice.
Instead of activating the code by changing the active if-clauses,
its activation is now done by uncommenting the loadfile() statement.
core.check_player_privs accepts as first argument a name or player object, but just tested for a string.
This caused crashes inside builtin, when being passed any unexpected types.
This provides a better (duck-typing like) test, better error reporting.
Use the setting "profiler.load" to enable profiling.
Other settings can be found in settingtypes.txt.
* /profiler print [filter] - report statistics to in-game console
* /profiler dump [filter] - report statistics to STDOUT and debug.txt
* /profiler save [format [filter]] - saves statistics to a file in your worldpath
* txt (default) - same treetable format as used by the dump and print commands
* csv - ready for spreadsheet import
* json - useful for adhoc D3 visualizations
* json_pretty - line wrapped and intended json for humans
* lua - serialized lua table of the profile-data, for adhoc scripts
* /profiler reset - reset all gathered profile data.
This can be helpful to discard of any startup measurements that often spike during loading or to get more useful min-values.
[filter] allows limiting the output of the data via substring/pattern matching against the modname.
Note: Serialized data structures might be subject to change with changed or added measurements.
csv might be the most stable, due to flat structure.
Changes to the previous version include:
* Updated and extended API monitoring
* Correct calculation of average (mean) values (undistorted by idleness)
* Reduce instrumentation overhead.
* Fix crashes related to missing parameters for the future and occasional DIV/0's.
* Prevent issues caused by timetravel (overflow, timejump, NTP corrections)
* Prevent modname clashes with internal names.
* Measure each instrumentation individually and label based on registration order.
* Labeling of ABM's and LBM's for easier classification.
Giving several ABM's or LBM's the same label will treat them as one.
Missing labels will be autogenerated based on name or registration order.
* Configurable instrumentation and reporting. Skip e.g. builtin if you don't need it.
* Profile the profiler to measure instrumentation overhead.
It seems that various different devices register as
Joysticks on linux, and their presence has caused
lots of confusion amongst minetest users.
Therefore, disable the joystick feature.
Closes#4261Closes#4221
Reduce spread from 96 to primes 61 and 67 (either side of 64)

Reduce octaves to 3 to improve network structure
This allows a nodedef to specify a fixed value for param2 to be
used for all normal placements.
There are several uses for this:
- nodes that require param2 to be set to a non-zero value for
internal mod use. E.g. leafdecay could use this to detect that
leaves are played by players.
- force wallmounted or facedir value at placement at placement
This overrides any player look direction or other on-the-fly
param2 setting during placement.
The change keys dialog can't be left. It doesn't make
much sense to show it on Android in the first place,
therefore disable it, just like commit
aed70cb0b652d6cb2272e7b94cd56671b3df6239 'Disable sound and key binding settings in "pause" menu on android'
has disabled it for the esc menu.
Fixes#4115.
This seems very little cost and matches the old behavior more
closely. This will cause some more falling nodes to get added
to falling clusters. With the efficiency of the algorithm, this
really doesn't do much damage.
@SmallJoker has noted a bug that servers from the (local) main menu
favorites list can't be opened.
This commit fixes the bug by disabling any main menu based protocol
checks for servers from the favorite list.
Also, it fixes a second bug that happens when a server from the
public serverlist doesn't send its supported protocol versions,
most likely because its running a minetest older than commit [1].
Then we have shown an error msg that the server has enforced
one specific protocol version. This was most likely not the case.
Of course, we can't do anything better than do an assumption on
the protocol versions if they are not known. That assumption
should however be closest to the most often occuring case as
possible.
Also, some little cleanups.

This took me a while to figure out. We no longer visit all 9 block
around and with the touched node, but instead visit adjacent plus
self. We then walk -non- recursively through all neigbors and if
they cause a nodeupdate, we just keep walking until it ends. On
the way back we prune the tail.
I've tested this with 8000+ sand nodes. Video result is here:

2016-03-22 21:57:52: WARNING[Server]: Assignment to undeclared global "options" inside a function at .../sofar/git/minetest/bin/../builtin/game/chatcommands.lua:862.
```
ABM's are hardcoded to run every 1.0s, NodeTimers are hard coded to
run at every 1.0s. Block mgmt is running every 2.0sec.
However, these timers can be better tuned for both higher and lower
values by server owners. Some server owners want to, and have the
resources to send more packets per second to clients, and so they
may wish to send smaller updates sooner. Right now all ABM's are
coalesced into 1.0 second intervals, resulting in large send queues
to all clients. By reducing the amount of possible timers, one can
get a far better response rate and lower the perception of lag.
On the other side of the camp, some servers may want to increase
these values, which again isn't easily doable.
The global settings abm_interval and nodetimer_interval are set to
current values by default. I've tested with 0.2/0.5 type values
and noticed a greatly improved response and better scattering of
nodetimers, as well as enjoying not faceplanting into doors with
pressure plates anymore.
The legacy init packet (pre v25) sends information about the client's
password that a server could use to log in to other servers if the
username and password are the same. All the other benefits of SRP of
protocol v25 are missed if the legacy init packet is still sent during
connection creation.
This patch adds an option to not send the v25 init packet. Not sending
the v25 packet means breaking compat with pre v25 servers, but as the
option is not enabled by default, no servers are affected unless the
user explicitly flips the switch. More than 90% of the servers on the
serverlist support post v25 protocols.
The patch also fixes a bug with greying out of non compliant servers
being done wrongly, the min and max params were mixed.
This privilege allows map protection bypassing for server operators
and world moderators.
Initially I had thought that bypassing protection mods would have been
something that could entirely be done inside mods and minetest_game,
but the concept of protection is defined in core, in the code of
core.is_protected().
I don't feel that it would be logical to introduce a protection
concept in core, but not some way around that for server operators
to maintain map parts that need fixing, de-griefing or cleanup.
Others had noticed the same problems, and proposed a patch to
minetest_game. That patch is fine by itself, but it fails to add
protection bypass functionality for digging normal nodes and placing
nodes.
So, instead, we indroduce the new priv "protection_bypass" in core,
and modify 'on_place_node' and 'node_dig' to allow bypassing node
protections if the player holds this priv.
This priv was tested with protector redo by tenplus1.
A followup patch to Minetest Game will include allowing special checks
for doors, trapdoors, chests in Minetest Game.
Protection mods will likely want to mimic the changes in their relevant
code sections.
I've written several experimental bits of code that revolve around the
need for a consistent calendar, but implementing one is extremely hard
in mods due to time changes and mods overriding core.get_timeofday(),
which will conflict.
The second part of the problem is that doing this from a mod requires
constant maintenance of a settings file.
An implementation in core is trivial, however, and solves all of
these problems at virtually no cost: No extra branches in server
steps, and a single branch when minetest.set_time_of_day(), which is
entirely reasonable.
We store the day_count value in env_meta.txt.
The use case is obvious: This change allows mods to create an actual
virtual calendar, or properly account for seasonal changes, etc..
We add a "/days" chatcommand that displays the current day count. No
permissions are needed. It can only retrieve the day count, not
modify it.
This allows mods to perform both asynchronous and synchronous HTTP
requests. Mods are only granted access to HTTP APIs if either mod
security is disabled or if they are whitelisted in any of the
the secure.http_mods and secure.trusted_mods settings.
Adds httpfetch_caller_alloc_secure to generate random, non-predictable
caller IDs so that lua mods cannot spy on each others HTTP queries.
