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.
In createPlayingSoundAt(), AL_ROLLOFF_FACTOR is not set, so it has
the default value of 1.0, this makes the equation of the currently
used AL_EXPONENT_DISTANCE distance model identical to the equation
of the simpler AL_INVERSE_DISTANCE distance model.
Using AL_INVERSE_DISTANCE means an exponent is not processed,
exponents are quite intensive to process.
There is no change in sound attenuation behaviour.
The commented-out AL_ROLLOFF_FACTOR value is removed as it would
now have a different effect if used.
* mod can create a ModMetadata object where store its values and retrieve it.
* Modmetadata object can only be fetched at mod loading
* Save when modified using same time as map interval or at server stop
* add helper function to get mod storage path
* ModMetadata has exactly same calls than all every other Metadata
While experimenting with entities I ran into this unresolvable
error where the server is sending some texture that the client
crashes on. The crash prevents the client from ever reconnecting,
resulting in a server that has to use clearobjects.
We shouldn't crash but just ignore the object and move on.

After reconnecting, the client now can connect without issues
and displays an error message:
```

Gravel now falls back to stone.
Gravel is not a particularly fundamental node, allowing it to fall back
to stone frees up subgames from having to include a gravel node.
Non-blob-ore gravel is only present in mgv6 as extremely rare 'gravel
biomes'.
Add a fallback node for stair_desert_stone to avoid ignore placed
in Minimal subgame desert dungeons.
Don't allow river_water_source to fallback to water_source as river
water needs to be non-renewable and have a short flow range.
Make stair_sandstonebrick fall back to sandstonebrick instead of
sandstone.
Re-order some lines.
Add a comment.
Fix missing decorations at horizontal chunk borders by adding
'updateHeightmap()' after terrain generation.
Swap order of 'calculateNoise' and 'calcBiomeNoise' because
'calculateNoise' modifies the heat and humidity maps created in
'calcBiomeNoise'.
Remove confusing comment, code block is not just for mods and
seems essential for correct mapgen behaviour.
Previously, m_move_pool could accomodate the client moving from the new
position to the old one, and the server accepted the client to go back
to its old position. However, it couldn't then accomodate the client
moving from its old to its new position, and therefore would reset position
to the old position. Thus, by emptying m_move_pool after a teleport, the
server no longer accepts the client to go back to its old position. A
drawback is however that a laggy client *will* trigger a few
"moved_too_fast" anticheats before being told about its new position.
Don't report player cheated if caused by lag.
Fixes#5118
Keep compatibility with protocol < 30 clients now that visual_scale
is no longer applied twice to plantlike drawtype and mods are being
updated to a new value.
For Game::openConsole() and GUIChatConsole::openConsole() the
parameter name 'height' is misleading because it's actually a
percentage of the screen/window height.
If a newly spawned thread called getThreadId or getThreadHandle before
the spawning thread finished saving the thread handle, then the
handle/id would be used uninitialized. This would cause the threading
tests to fail since isCurrentThread would return false, and if Minetest
is built with C++11 support the std::thread object pointer would be
dereferenced while ininitialized, causing a segmentation fault.
This fixes the issue by using a mutex to force the spawned thread to
wait for the spawning thread to finish initializing the thread object.
An alternative way to handle this would be to also set the thread
handle/id in the started thread but this wouldn't work for C++11
builds because there's no way to get the partially constructed object.
Visual_scale was applied twice to plantlike by accident sometime between
2011 and 2013, squaring the requested scale value. Visual_scale is
correctly applied once in it's other uses in signlike and torchlike.
Two lines of code are removed, they also had no effect for the vast
majority of nodes with the default visual_scale of 1.0.
The texture continues to have it's base at ground level.
* This backend permit mods to store extra players attributes to a common interface.
* Add the obj:set_attribute(attr, value) Lua call
* Add the obj:get_attribute(attr) Lua call
Examples:
* player:set_attribute("home:home", "10,25,-78")
* player:get_attribute("default:mana")
Attributes are saved as a json in the player file in extended_attributes
key
They are saved only if a modification on the attributes occurs and loaded
when emergePlayer is called (they are attached to PlayerSAO).
The do .. while loop is waiting for both dir.X and dir.Z to be non-zero,
so should continue to loop if either dir.X or dir.Z are zero. The brackets
present suggest this was intended to be OR not AND.
Desert and sandstone dungeons have 2 node wide corridors. Previously,
nodebox stairs were disabled because dungeon generation code did not
support nodebox stairs wider than 1 node, now it does.
Add 'stair desert stone' content id to MappgenBasic.
Requires 'mapgen stair desert stone' to be added to Minetest Game.
My recent dungeon commit allowed stairs to be placed across the full
width of corridors, but some of the new node positions accessed were
missing checks for being within the voxelmanip, causing occasional
segfaults near dungeons with corridors wider than 1 node.
Add 'vm->m_area.contains(pos)' checks just before stair position
voxelmanip access. This allows an earlier check to be removed as it
is now redundant.
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.
