Previously dungeons > decorations > ores.
Decorations depend on the node they are placed on, and ore types are
increasingly able to place large continuous volumes of nodes, such as
strata. Decorations are increasingly being used underground.
The new order avoids a node being changed by ore generation after a
decoration has been placed on it.
The new order also avoids ores appearing in the walls of a dungeon if
the wall nodes match the local stone node.
Make tunnels wider and use the noise parameters of most other mapgens.
All other underground features are already identical to all other
non-mgv6 mapgens, this final change modernises and improves the tunnels.
Add 2 new mapgen flags to make river depth variation and humidity drop
with altitude independently optional, instead of both being enabled by
the 'humid rivers' flag.
Simplify and clarify related code by removing a low priority
optimisation regarding 't_heat'.
Remove unnecessary optimisation bools and use spflags directly instead.
Improve and fix documentation in settingtypes.txt.
A few minor code cleanups.
Some cave segments are outside the mapchunk.
Previously, biome was being calculated by a function that uses the noise
maps. Points outside the mapchunk resulted in incorrect noise map indexes
that were sometimes outside the noise map size, causing a crash.
Use either noise maps or point noise calculations depending on point
location.
When the noise value or fill_ratio >= 10.0 complete coverage is enabled.
This disables random placement to avoid redundant multiple placements
at one position. Instead, 1 decoration per surface node is placed by
looping across each division.
'10' was chosen as this is the fill_ratio that previously created
very near complete coverage. The complete coverage feature therefore
integrates smoothly when noise is used for variable decoration density.
'fill_ratio = 10' should be used by modders who want a decoration
placed on every surface node. Compared to before such a decoration
placement will be 10 times faster.
Previously, the biomemap was 'BIOME_NONE' for a mapchunk column if a
stone surface was not found in it, causing water surface decorations
and water surface dust to fail.
Store the biome ID of the biome calculated at a water surface and add
it to the biomemap if the biomemap is 'BIOME_NONE' for the mapchunk
column. The biome calculated at a stone surface still has priority
for the biomemap entry, as it should.
Edit an incorrect comment.
Revert commit 99143f494711034068685b6ee845ce19fa09d7d9 and commit
f4ca830abe1aa22875c99b31bf2ee56e26f83f05.
These commits caused biome dust to be applied even when there was no core
mapgen terrain in a mapchunk column. So the dust, which overgenerates,
then appeared on structures added by mods in 'on_generated', such as
floatlands, asteroids or above-surface realms.
Previously the only way to disable biomes was to 'clear' the registered
biomes in a mod, but this method causes large amounts of unnecessary
processing:
1. Calculation of 4 2D noises.
2. Looping through all nodes of a mapchunk replacing nodes with identical
nodes.
The new flag disables those operations.
'generateBiomes()' constructs the biomemap as it generates biomes.
The biome calculated at first stone surface encountered is added to
the biomemap.
Previously, if no stone surface was encountered in a mapchunk column
the biomemap was left empty for that (x, z) position, causing biome
dust and water surface decoration placement to fail.
If at the base of a mapchunk column the biomemap is empty, add the
currently active biome to the biomemap, or if biome is NULL calculate
it for this position and add it to the biomemap.
Because vein ore uses 3D noise (all the other ores use 2D noise) the
perlinmap Y size can be different in different mapchunks when close
to the ore Y limits.
Previously this caused bugs in the vein structure because changes in
perlinmap Y size did not recreate the noise objects.
Delete and recreate the noise objects with the new Y size if Y size
has changed.
Previously, the centering caused by the 'place center x/z' flags did
not take rotation into account. So schematics with unequal X and Z
dimensions were incorrectly placed. The bug was hidden for schematics
equal in X and Z dimensions.
Previously, caverns confused tunnel generation causing biome top and filler
nodes to appear in caverns.
Split 'generateCaves()' into 2 functions to separate tunnel and large
randomwalk cave generation.
In each mapgen re-order cave generation to generate tunnels before caverns.
Split some long lines.
Edit comments.
Remove unnecessary comments and unnecessary commented-out code.
Use std::fmax/fmin instead of MYMAX/MYMIN.
Remove scope-limiting braces.
Consistently define literals as floats, except in noise parameters.
Cleanup literals in noise parameters.
Remove unnecessary 'near_cavern' line.
Reduce max spawn y to be consistent with other mapgens.
Caverns first appeared in mgvalleys and were later added to other
mapgens as shared code. Now this shared code can replace mgvalley's
internal cavern code.
Also use shared tunnel code instead of internal code.
Changes to mapgen that will affect existing worlds (mgvalleys is not
stable):
Single lava and water sources not added in tunnels.
Previous caverns are unchanged but an equal number of new ones are
added at a distance from the previous.
From y = -256 to 192 nodes below, where the caverns taper at their
upper limit, they will have a slightly different shape as the taper
is now linear.
Fix elusive 5 year old bug that caused mgvalleys large caves to be flat and
limited to mapchunk borders.
Error was fixed 2 years ago in 'CavesV6' but not in 'CavesRandomWalk'.
Add new biome fields 'node_dungeon', 'node_dungeon_alt', 'node_dungeon_stair'.
If 'node_dungeon' is not defined dungeons fall back to classic behaviour.
Remove messy and imprecise dungeon material code from 'generateBiomes()'.
Code deciding dungeon materials is now in 'generateDungeons()' and uses the
biome at mapchunk centre for more precision.
Remove hardcoded 'MG_STONE' types as long intended.
* Fix many issues reported by clang-tidy
We have many issues in code related to some performance to float <-> double.
Clang-tidy reported it in performance-type-promotion-in-math-fn
I fixed many of them. It's not ready for a promote to blocking
Also fix some value which should be const-ref
Previously only 'mapgen water source' and 'mapgen river water source'
were checked for. Games can use multiple liquid nodes defined for biomes,
many of which will not be aliased to those 2 mapgen aliases, causing
floating dungeons to generate in some liquids.
Now we check for liquid drawtype instead, so can remove liquid nodes
from dungeonparams.
Also check for 'airlike' drawtype instead of 'CONTENT_AIR' to avoid
generation in 'airlike' nodes in some rare situations. This will also be
needed for when we add definable biome air nodes.
* Rename IWritableNodeDefManager to NodeDefManager
* Make INodeDefManager functions const
* Use "const *NodeDefManager" instead of "*INodeDefManager"
* Remove unused INodeDefManager class
* Merge NodeDefManager and CNodeDefManager
* Document NodeDefManager
