Reduces stutter and freezes when playing.
* Maintains double SM and SM Color textures
* Light frustum update triggers incremental generation of shadow map into secondary 'future' textures.
* Every incremental update renders a portion of the shadow draw list (split equally).
* After defined number of frames (currently, 4), 'future' and 'current' textures are swapped, and DirectionalLight 'commits' the new frustum to use when rendering shadows on screen.

Apparently the C++ standard library is supposed to provide
specializations of std::hash for enums (even in C++11)
but those don't always work for whatever reason.
* Separate draw list and shadows update to reduce jitter
* Avoid draw list update and shadow update in the same frame
* Force-update shadows when camera offset changes
* Adjust minimum filter radius for perspective
* Expand shadow frustum when camera FOV changes, reuse FOV distance adjustment from numeric.cpp
* Read shadow_soft_radius setting as float
* Use adaptive filter radius to accomodate for PSM distortion
* Adjust filter radius for texture resolution
This completely removes any mention of the software and D3D drivers from MT, preventing the user from accidentally attempting to use them. Users who need a software renderer should be asked to install Mesa drivers which offer superior fidelity and performance over the 'burningsvideo' driver.
This permits to make evidence that we have some bad object passing on various code parts. I fixed majority of them to reduce the scope of passed objects
Unfortunately, for some edge cases i should have to expose ISceneManager from client, this should be fixed in the future when our POO will be cleaner client side (we have a mix of rendering and processing in majority of the client objects, it works but it's not clean)
* we don't need on CAO side more than SceneManager, and temporary. Pass only required SceneManager as a parameter to build CAO and add them to the current scene
* Use temporary the RenderingEngine singleton from ClientEnvironment, waitfor for better solution
* Make ClientActiveObject::addToScene virtual function mandatory to be defined by children to ensure we don't forget to properly define it
* No more access to the singleton instance from everywhere (RenderingEngine::get_instance dropped)
* RenderingEngine::get_timer_time is now non static
* RenderingEngine::draw_menu_scene is now non static
* RenderingEngine::draw_scene is now non static
* RenderingEngine::{initialize,finalize} are now non static
* RenderingEngine::run is now non static
* RenderingEngine::getWindowSize now have a static helper. It was mandatory to hide the global get_instance access
Make the RenderingEngine filesystem member non accessible from everywhere
This permits also to determine that some lua code has directly a logic to extract zip file. Move this logic inside client, it's not the lua stack role to perform a such complex operation
Found also another irrlicht <1.8 compat code to remove
It's often useful to know where the map block boundaries are for doing server admin work and the like.
Adds three modes: single mapblock, range of 5, and disabled.
The only valid usecase for these is interfacing with OS APIs
that want a locale/OS-specific multibyte encoding.
But they weren't used for that anywhere, instead UTF-8 is pretty
much assumed when it comes to that.
Since these are only a potential source of bugs and do not fulfil
their purpose at all, drop them entirely.
According to the following table:
* MOUSE_L -> DIG
* MOUSE_R -> PLACE
* SCROLL_UP -> HOTBAR_NEXT
* SCROLL_DOWN -> HOTBAR_PREV
This commit entirely removes the special KeyTypes used for joysticks.
Support for the MOUSE KeyTypes had already been removed in the main
game code without adapting the joystick code, breaking joystick
input. This commit restores joystick functionality.
- Avoid calculating isBlockInSight for blocks without meshes.
- Add metric for how many blocks the client has currently loaded.
- Make some variables constant.
Run unused functions reported by cppcheck
This change removes a few (but not all) unused functions.
Some unused helper functions were not removed due to their complexity and potential of future use.
Features:
* Define Minimap available modes (surface/radar, scale) from Lua, using player:set_minimap_modes()
* New HUD elements for displaying minimap with custom size and placing
* New minimap mode for displaying a texture instead of the map
Fixes some other third person camera specific attachments.
Implements a single new flag for entities to be forced visible in first person mode.
Old mods do not need to be updated to use the new flag and are fully backwards compatible.
This commit clarifies the maximal length of the serialized strings.
It will avoid accidental use of serializeString() when a larger string can be expected.
Removes unused Wide String serialization functions
Previously, the param2-controlled horizontal/vertical merge feature
(which was undocumented and forgotten) was always active, causing
uses of param2 other than "glasslikeliquidlevel" to affect H/V
merging.
Only respect H/V merge bits when paramtype2 = "glasslikeliquidlevel".
H/V merge bits and liquid level bits are designed to be used
simultaneously.
Moves the infotext depending on the value of the recent_chat_messages value + 2 additional lines to account for the 2 debug mode lines + 1 additional line as "buffer" for better readability if chat is full.
Erase all traces of normal "generation" from fragment shaders
Remove the "feature" from the engine and default config
Remove any leftover documentation of it
the event header seemingly being generic with libevent thus renaming it.
openal and opengl are deprecated on newer mac os releases thus suppressing the build warnings.
The inventory image size of the inventory image of nodes with drawtype allfaces (and related) is scaled as well if visual_scale is set (previously, the inventory image size was always the same)
Recent changes to collision code have changed the behaviour of the 'touching_ground'
bool in movement code. This had the effect of disabling camera smoothing when
'air stepheight' occurred when jumping onto a node while pressing forwards against
the node, causing an unpleasant sharp camera movement.
Rewrite the conditions for camera smoothing such that it is applied when jumping.
Fixes two bugs:
* The camera offset was not applied to an object while detaching, briefly placing the irrlicht matrixnode in world space.
* When attaching, the matrixnode's absolute position was evaluated without evaluating the parent first, resulting in zeroed positions.
automatic_rotate does not make sense if it is absolute. Make it relative.
To avoid bouncing, set_rotation did not update the client when automatic_rotate was set. That's no longer necessary because the new spinning method applies the rotation on top of the current one, and the updates are necessary for set_rotation to actually transform the object.

This adds support for optional “off state” icons for statbars. “off state icons” can be used to denote the lack of something, like missing hearts or bubbles.
Add "off state" textures to the builtin statbars.

* Server::overrideDayNightRatio doesn't require to return bool
There is no sense to sending null player, the caller should send a valid object
* Server::init: make private & cleanup
This function is always called before start() and loads some variables which can be loaded in constructor directly.
Make it private and call it directly in start
* Split Server inventory responsibility to a dedicated object
This splits permit to found various historical issues:
* duplicate lookups on player connection
* sending inventory to non related player when a player connects
* non friendly lookups on detached inventories ownership
This reduce the detached inventory complexity and also increased the
lookup performance in a quite interesting way for servers with thousands
of inventories.
Removes duplicated offset calculations from Game and use whatever the Camera class returns.
This keeps the eye position nicely in sync, and gets rid of duplicated code.
* Drop genericobject.{cpp,h}
This file is not for generic object but for ActiveObject message passing.
Put ownership of the various commands to the right objects and cleanup the related code.
* Protect ServerActiveObject::m_messages_out
* typo fix
This will likely be more intuitive for users and should play better
with sandboxed distributions such as Flatpak.
In addition, the screenshot directory will now be created if it doesn't
exist already.
Previously textures of the side faces on flowing liquid nodes would
become distorted on different axis depending on the liquid level. This
is because the nodes always had the same texture coordinates, even when
the generated face could have different sizes. This solves that problem
by adjusting the texture coordinates for the vertices making up the top
of the faces, so the textures will not look compressed for smaller
faces.
Camera's near-plane will be hard-coded to 0.1 on all non-Android platforms. The upper-bound of this setting has been reduced to 0.25, as 0.5 is just way too high.
This is necessary under Windows systems, and direct IPv6 connections.
Windows universally disallows ':' from occuring in filenames.
Other disallowed characters on Windows:
\ / * ? " < > |
are not relevant to hostnames, IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
Anyone who has got an existing server map saved on Linux with ':' in
the world save will want to keep that save.
GenericCAO::getPosition() did not take the camera offset into account
LocalPlayer attachment cleanup: Use sane getParent() function
Make that getPosition() (GenericCAO and LocalPlayer) always return the absolute position
Does not clear the parent's attachment information when the child is deleted locally.
Either it was removed permanently, or just temporary - we don't know, but it's up to the server to send a *detach from child" packet for the parent.
1. Pass current camera offset to shader, so shader have access to the global coordinates
2. Pass animation timer to fragment shader. C++ code is already there, just wasn't declared in the shader
3. Delay animation timer wrap-around (from 100s to about 16 minutes)
The setting now accepts values between 1 and 8 in the
Advanced Settings menu.
Values 0 and 1 now behave the same way (setting it to 1 won't
disable MSAA anymore), so there's no need to expose 0 as a value.
This closes#8939.
Safety-guards for CSM callbacks to abort on a bad implementation
Only run callbacks when the mods are loaded (and with it: builtin)
Duplication checks inside constructors
This change reduces the amount of sent data towards clients. Inventory lists that are already known to the player are skipped, saving quite some data over time.
Raises protocol version to 38 to ensure correct backwards-compatible code.
The Map::getSectorNoGenerate throws an exception but no other
code is really dependent on that. Fix the odd instance of
misuse in ClientMap::emergeSector and remove the exception
throwing version of the method along with the "NoEx" suffixes
in the names of these methods.
Update the profiler names to make more sense of what they actually represent
Move the profiler code from header to its source file
Use monospace font to align lines
Format the statistics line to align better with surrounding values
Refresh the profiler each 3 seconds (roughly)
What happened:
1) Object data is received. Client begins to read the data
2) Client initializes all its children (gob_cmd_update_infant)
3) Children try to attach to parent (yet not added)
4) Parent initializes, is added to the environment
And somewhere in between, Irrlicht wrecks up the attachments due to the missing matrix node.
The solution here is to:
1) Use the same structure as ServerActiveObject
2) Attach all children after the parent is really initialized
The old texture modifier is restored by passing `m_previous_texture_modifier`.
Either copy it manually or let the function parameter do that.
Victims so far:

eb2bda7 May 2019
* Optimize statbar drawing
The texture name of the statbar is a string passed by value.
That slows down the client and creates litter in the heap
as the content of the string is allocated there. Convert the
offending parameter to a const reference to avoid the
performance hit.
* Optimize texture cache
There is an unnecessary temporary created when the texture
path is being generated. This slows down the cache each time
a new texture is encountered and it needs to be loaded into
the cache. Additionally, the heap litter created by this
unnecessary temporary is particularly troublesome here as
the following code then piles another string (the resulting
full path of the texture) on top of it, followed by the
texture itself, which both are quite long term objects as
they are subsequently inserted into the cache where they can
remain for quite a while (especially if the texture turns
out to be a common one like dirt, grass or stone).
Use std::string.append to get rid of the temporary which
solves both issues (speed and heap fragmentation).
* Optimize animations in client
Each time an animated node is updated, an unnecessary copy of
the texture name is created, littering the heap with lots of
fragments. This can be specifically troublesome when looking
at oceans or large lava lakes as both of these nodes are
usually animated (the lava animation is pretty visible).
Convert the parameter of GenericCAO::updateTextures to a
const reference to get rid of the unnecessary copy.
There is a comment stating "std::string copy is mandatory as
mod can be a class member and there is a swap on those class
members ... do NOT pass by reference", reinforcing the
belief that the unnecessary copy is in fact necessary.
However one of the first things the code of the method does
is to assign the parameter to its class member, creating
another copy. By rearranging the code a little bit this
"another copy" can then be used by the subsequent code,
getting rid of the need to pass the parameter by value and
thus saving that copying effort.
* Optimize chat console history handling
The GUIChatConsole::replaceAndAddToHistory was getting the
line to work on by value which turns out to be unnecessary.
Get rid of that unnecessary copy by converting the parameter
to a const reference.
* Optimize gui texture setting
The code used to set the texture for GUI components was
getting the name of the texture by value, creating
unnecessary performance bottleneck for mods/games with
heavily textured GUIs. Get rid of the bottleneck by passing
the texture name as a const reference.
* Optimize sound playing code in GUIEngine
The GUIEngine's code receives the specification of the sound
to be played by value, which turns out to be most likely a
mistake as the underlying sound manager interface receives
the same thing by reference. Convert the offending parameter
to a const reference to get rid of the rather bulky copying
effort and the associated performance hit.
* Silence CLANG TIDY warnings for unit tests
Change "std::string" to "const std::string &" to avoid an
unnecessary local value copy, silencing the CLANG TIDY
process.
* Optimize formspec handling
The "formspec prepend" parameter was passed to the formspec
handling code by value, creating unnecessary copy of
std::string and slowing down the game if mods add things like
textured backgrounds for the player inventory and/or other
forms. Get rid of that performance bottleneck by converting
the parameter to a const reference.
* Optimize hotbar image handling
The code that sets the background images for the hotbar is
getting the name of the image by value, creating an
unnecessary std::string copying effort. Fix that by
converting the relevant parameters to const references.
* Optimize inventory deserialization
The inventory manager deserialization code gets the
serialized version of the inventory by value, slowing the
server and the client down when there are inventory updates.
This can get particularly troublesome with pipeworks which
adds nodes that can mess around with inventories
automatically or with mods that have mobs with inventories
that actively use them.
* Optimize texture scaling cache
There is an io::path parameter passed by value in the
procedure used to add images converted from textures,
leading to slowdown when the image is not yet created and
the conversion is thus needed. The performance hit is
quite significant as io::path is similar to std::string
so convert the parameter to a const reference to get rid of
it.
* Optimize translation file loader
Use "std::string::append" when calculating the final index
for the translation table to avoid unnecessary temporary
strings. This speeds the translation file loader up
significantly as std::string uses heap allocation which
tends to be rather slow. Additionally, the heap is no
longer being littered by these unnecessary string
temporaries, increasing performance of code that gets
executed after the translation file loader finishes.
* Optimize server map saving
When the directory structure for the world data is created
during server map saving, an unnecessary value passing of
the directory name slows things down. Remove that overhead
by converting the offending parameter to a const reference.
* Improve readability of debug menu by using '|'
* Restore whitespace to separate yaw and cardinal direction

Makes the liquid waving shader per-nodedef like waving leaves/plants,
instead of being applied to all liquids.
Like the waving leaves/plants shaders, the liquid waving shader can
also be applied to meshes and nodeboxes.
Derived from a PR by t0ny2.
This sends the following header to a remote media server:
Referer: minetest://<server_name>:port
This was verified with CTF and the Minetest Public Remove Media
server. If the servername was a plain IPv6 address it will
contain `:` characters and will be encapsulated in `[]` to
be a valid URI.
* Drop the ID mapper, use a big u64 instead. This will permit to resync server ids properly with the manager code
* Modernize some code parts (std::unordered_map, auto)
* generate id on client part on U32_MAX + 1 ids, lower are for server ids
The reverted commit 968ce9af598024ec71e9ffb2d15c3997a13ad754
is suspected (through the use of bisection) of causing network slowdowns.
Revert for now as we are close to release.
Store the rotation in the node as a 4x4 transformation matrix internally (through IDummyTransformationSceneNode), which allows more manipulations without losing precision or having gimbal lock issues.
Network rotation is still transmitted as Eulers, though, not as matrix. But it will stay this way in 5.0.
* Fix a crash on Android with Align2Npot2
glGetString can be NULL. If stored in a string it triggers a SIGSEGV.
Instead do a basic strstr and verify the pointer
* Better Align2Npot2 check (+ performance)
The fallback code shouldn't be needed and is a remnant of the GET
method that old media servers use. Clients using it are likely
to just waste bandwidth and having to download the media again
through the normal transfer from server method. The most reliable
method is to get all missing textures therefore from the server
directly and not spam the remote media server with 404s.
