- Avoid calculating isBlockInSight for blocks without meshes.
- Add metric for how many blocks the client has currently loaded.
- Make some variables constant.
Add more detailed light detection functions, a function to get the artificial light (torches) and a function to get the sunlight as seen by the player (you can specify timeofday).

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
This reverts 1a5b4b3 and further functions in serialize.cpp that are unused
The intend for a sane NetworkPacket/stream replacement was good, but a wrapper
class around i/ostream might be more versatile than introducing a new
vector-based serialization class.
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.

The default (PC-style) MainMenu works great on Android. Provides access to ContentDB and allows players to create many worlds in a few clicks.
Makes the interface consistent and eliminates player confusion.
Add override targets for all special_tiles entries in node definitions, allowing texture packs to replace these textures. This makes overrides work properly with a variety of drawtypes.
The targets are named special1 through special6, covering the the current length of the special_tiles array.
Blacklisted characters are replaced by '_' in the path. The display name is stored in world.mt, and duplicate file names are resolved by adding an incrementing suffix (_1, _2, _3, etc).
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.
Incorrect parameter types are logged as errors, taking coercion into account.
This is a workaround to ensure mod compatibility.
Duplicate warnings are ignored per server instance.
Games often and increasingly do not use this mapgen alias, as it
is only required for Mapgen V6. Such games were triggering the
recently added error message.
Even if this mapgen alias was defined, dirt nodes placed under a
wide trunk were inconsistent with biomes that do not use dirt
surface nodes.
Place trunk nodes below a wide trunk instead of 'mapgen_dirt'.
On sloping ground, the trunk then extends down to the surface,
instead of the surface rising up to meet the trunk. This looks
more natural and does not alter the terrain.
Replace on_auth_fail callback with more versatile on_authplayer
Better clarify account login process in Lua API documentation
Change initial timestamp for newly registered accounts to -1
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.

Floatland structure is vertically-compressed 3D noise.
Uses a lacunarity of 1.618 (the golden ratio) for high quality
noise.
Floatlands appear between user-settable Y limits, with smooth
tapering at each limit.
Simple user-settable density adjustment.
Shadow propagation is disabled in and just below floatlands, no
shadows are cast on the world surface.
Can be reconfigured to create a solid upper world layer between
the Y limits, lakes/seas can be optionally added to this.
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.

Previously the default tabheader height was different when using
real coordinates. This resulted in the height of tabs changing when
switching tabs in sfinv if some tabs used real coordinates.
* 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.
PLAYER_MAX_BREATH_DEFAULT was earlier set to 11, so that 10 bubbles are shown before the breath bar disappears.
Now, PLAYER_MAX_BREATH_DEFAULT is set to 10, and the breath_bar scaling code in builtin has been tweaked to show all 10 bubbles before hiding the breath_bar
* Fix configuration caching in log_deprecated
The configured variable was never set to true.
I've set the variables to thread_local because the configuration should be reloaded after reentering the world from mainmenu.
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.
* Optimize getObjectsInsideRadius calls
our previous implementation calls the ActiveObjectMgr to return ids and then lookup those ids in the same map and test each object
Instead now we call the global map to return the pointers directly and we ask filtering when building the list using lamba.
This drop double looping over ranges of active objects (and then filtered one) and drop x lookups on the map regarding the first call results
New formspec elements:
- `scroll_container[<X>,<Y>;<W>,<H>;<scrollbar name>;<orientation>;<scroll factor>]`
- `scroll_container_end[]`
Other elements can be embedded in this element. Scrollbar must be placed manually.
ServerEnvironment is a huge class with many accessors. In various places it's not needed
Remove it to reduce the ServerEnvironment view.
Idea here is to reduce size of some of our objects to transport lightweight managers and permit easier testing
Pathfinder is now tied to a generic map, not a ServerMap, it can be
ported to client
Move LuaEntitySAO to a new dedicated file
Drop TestSAO (useless object)
Drop the old static startup initialized SAO factory, which was pretty useless.
This factory was using a std::map for 2 elements, now just use a simple condition owned by ServerEnvironment, which will be lightweight, that will also drop a one time useful test on each LuaEntitySAO creation. This should reduce server load on massive SAO creation
* 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
- Move the text segment below the 47-bit limit, needed for script_exception_wrapper which must be lightuserdata
- Replace CUSTOM_RIDX_SCRIPTAPI with full userdata
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.
This reverts commit df74d369a395f0b99bd23fa3e7fb4c628c3df336.
This reverts commit 908e76247922d4adf879b3996c4f75bdbb4e536d.
Restores the original collision detection bugs to release 5.2.0 prior the large collision detection fix.
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.
This adds a vector that holds pointers to elements that should only be visible while being drawn.
In the guifsmenu's draw func, all elements in this vector are made visible and invisible again. Apart from there, they are always invisible. (Well they are still visible before the first drawn, does this matter? If yes, it could be fixed easily with some lines of code everywhere.)
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.

Previously, there would be a small time window where the SAO had
its peer ID set to PEER_ID_INEXISTENT but the RemotePlayer was
still linked to the SAO, resulting in an ObjectRef that crashed
on certain function calls (#9387).
The game minetest.conf flags directly overwrote the global minetest.conf default values, resulting in unwanted erased mapgen flags.

GenericCAO::getPosition() did not take the camera offset into account
LocalPlayer attachment cleanup: Use sane getParent() function

* Formspec: Fix priorities for version < 3
1) Introduce 'priority' to 'FieldSpec'
2) Sort elements based on 'priority'
3) Assign 'name' to the Item Image Button's image to show tooltips again
Low-disruption first step towards removing the hardcoded cave liquid
code. Since MT 5.0.0 cave liquids can be defined and located by
biome definitions instead.
In games that do not yet use biome definitions to define and locate
cave liquids (MTGame does), lava will now appear below
y = water_level - 256 instead of below 'lava depth' (usually y = -256).
Therefore no change in most mapgens if using the default 'lava depth'.
Previously, the only way to disable the 3D noise tunnels was to set
'cave width' > 1.0, however doing so did not disable the very intensive
noise calculations or the generation loop.
All the other types of cave generation (randomwalk caves, caverns)
can already be independently and completely disabled.
This feature is now needed more because the small randomwalk caves are
now available for use as an alternative to the 3D noise tunnels.
Add mapgen parameters to set the range of the random number of
randomwalk caves per mapchunk, and to set the proportion that are
flooded with liquids.
Default values are, for now, unchanged from the previous hardcoded
values.
Add parameters to allow small randomwalk caves
Disabled by default for now as they have never been present in the
non-mgv6 mapgens.
Revert gamma upper limit to 3.0 because that was raised based on
a misunderstanding and had no benefit. A sane upper limit is
needed as players on a competitive server tend to use the maximum.
Set gamma lower limit to 0.33 for consistency with 3.0.
Set sane limits on alpha, beta, boost and enforce these in code
to limit values entered in minetest.conf and to avoid easy cheating
by editing settingtypes.txt.
Improve documentation and 'readable' setting names.
Clarify that gamma does not significantly affect natural night light.
light.cpp: Various codestyle and comment improvements.
This value reduces how far randomwalk caves can extend into the
mapchunk padding, to avoid 'out of voxelmanip' cave nodes which cause
flattened cave walls.
Testing shows that a value of 2 (instead of 10) is enough to make
'out of area' nodes extremely rare.
Reducing this value results in a higher chance of overlap and
connection with caves of neighbour mapchunks.
- Add style properties for overriding the the hovered/pressed state
- By default, hovered buttons are a lighter version of the base color
- By default, pressed buttons are a darker version of the base color
- Add hovered bg image support for image buttons (style property)
This reverts commit 1db3d252cff9e8d61fecf1052d7497813851da51.
Temporary solution until a compatible solution is found to define both - formspec and fullscreen backgrounds.
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.
While preserving the general character of dungeon structure.
Slightly increase the range of standard room horizontal size, while
preserving the average horizontal size.
Return to classic maximum large room size of 16x16x16.
Make 1 in 4 dungeons have a 1 in 8 chance for each room being 'large',
making multiple large rooms possible for the first time.
Make 1 in 8 dungeons allow diagonal corridors, to make these a little
more common.
Make corridor width vary from 1 to 2, but forced to 2 if diagonal
corridors are allowed, to make them passable.
Add some comments.

Duplication checks inside constructors
Before opening the file for writing, its file size is tested. If it exceeds 50 MB, it is moved to debut.txt.1, otherwise the log is appended to the old messages. An old debut.txt.1 is removed if it already exists.
Calculate 'i' inside 'y' loop to avoid 'i' and 'y' becoming
out of step due to the uses of 'continue'.
Simplify calculation of 'p2d' when coordinates are inverted.
Remove some unnecessary and unreliable 'index out of
voxelmanip' checks.
Move calculation of '&em' out of loops.
For 'Loop further down until not air' code, use y coordinate
to detect being out of voxelmanip, instead of checking index
which did not detect that.
Add and improve comments.
Indent the 'for (;; y--) {' loop.
Improve format and fix codestyle issues.
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.
In MapgenV6::flowMud(), the previous implementation of coordinate
inversion caused the 2 inverted mudflow iterations (out of the 3
iterations) to not loop over the area, so only 1 non-inverted
iteration occurred.
Fix this bug but only iterate mudflow twice, as mapgen v6 has only
had 1 iteration for many years. There is now a good balance of 1
non-inverted iteration and 1 inverted iteration.
* Fix unnecessary exception use in Server::SendBlocks
The code in this method calls getBlockNoCreate and then
messes around with try...catch to skip blocks which are not
in the memory. Additionally, it repeatedly calls
m_env.getMap() inside this loop. Speed the code up by
extracting the m_env.getMap() out of the loop and getting
rid of the try...catch.
* Fix unnecessary exception use in Server::SendBlock
Another unnecessary try...catch is slowing down
Server::SendBlock. Remove that to speed it up and get a nice
side effect of simplifying the code in question.
* Fix unnecessary exception use in MMVManip::initialEmerge
Remove another unneeded exception usage from
MMVManip::initialEmerge to speed that code up and simplify
it but be careful to not remove the braces as there is a
TimeTaker in use there.
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

The isNodeUnderground calls getBlockNoCreate which calls
getBlockNoCreateNoEx and throws InvalidPositionException
if the returned value is nullptr, which isNodeUnderground
then catches to return "false". Remove the try..catch in
isNodeUnderground by calling getBlockNoCreateNoEx instead
of getBlockNoCreate and checking the returned value for
nullptr.
Pointers shall be set to nullptr, not 0, according to the
coding standards. By implication they shall be compared with
nullptr, not 0, too. Fix this code to match that.
This fixes overridden items keeping their old groups in the group to
items mapping even after their groups have been changed in lua.
It also prevents a more widespread issue where overriding an item
will add its content ID *twice* to the mapping, resulting in odd
behaviour in features such as ABMs.
This fix consists of two parts:
- Clear the list of stored entities. This has no side-effects.
- Catch the case where active entities exist and print a message.
Clearing the active entitiy list has side-effects that should
be handled. (those entities are known to the environment and
to clients).
As avoiding those side-effects is more complex, and as this
problem is not expected to occur (with PR #4847 merged), there
is no real incentive to implement this ATM.
This issue was a contributing factor to bug #4217. With the other
contributing factor removed (PR #4847), this commit makes sure this
factor does not go unnoticed if it ever happens again.
The commit 526a9e4b66abaf83eb6b1aaa3e93375acd87b830 breaks
the non-GLES2 setups because the code that is intended to
handle that is behind "elseif()" which is interpreted as
"elseif(false)" and thus the code never gets executed. Fix
that by changing the offending line to else().
Additionally, to avoid breaking the server only build
(which shall not have a dependency on GL/GLU/GLES at all),
enclose the entire block code in if(BUILD_CLIENT).
* Fix some issues with minetest.clear_craft
- Fix memory leak
- Fix crafts with an output count not being cleared when clearing by
input.
- Fix recipe list being reversed when clearing by input.
* Add CraftInput::empty()
Avoid an unsuitable spawn position (which if outside mapgen limits can
cause a crash) if the main 0-3999 loop reaches its end. Fallback to a
spawn at 0,0,0.
Check the mapgen-returned 'spawn_level' value for being outside limits.
When 'air_count' reaches 2, move back down 1 to spawn in the lower
empty node.
If the spawn position is disallowed by 'objectpos_over_limit()', 'break'
from loop instead of 'continue' because positions above are probably
also over limit.
Reset 'air_count' to 0 if an obstruction is found, to make 'air_count'
consecutive empty nodes.
Allow spawn in 'airlike' drawtype nodes such as mod-added vacuum,
alien atmospheres, fog etc.
Add clarifying comments and improve codestyle.
This fixes an issue where when the engine looked up groups (for example,
in ABM node names), NodeDefManager's m_group_to_items would contain nodes
with a group value of zero, resulting in nodes with flammable = 0 being
burned by a fire mod with a group:flammable checking ABM.
It brings consistency to the behaviour described in the api
documentation, where zero and nil groups should be the same.
Previously, this wrongly returned ground level (a position containing
a solid node) as spawn level.
Return ground level + 2 (+ 2 to spawn above biome 'dust' nodes).
Improve codestyle and make more consistent with generateTerrain().
Due to commit ec3142a , UnitSAO's getArmorGroups() did not match
ServerActiveObject's, notably resulting in the lua get_armor_groups() call
returning nothing.

This prevents set_properties() calls that have nothing to do with hp_max or breath_max overriding the saved hp before another mod has the chance to set a player's intended hp_max (such as in on_joinplayer).
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
v6 always last to discourage selection.
Special mapgens flat, fractal, singlenode, next to last. Of these, singlenode
last to discourage selection.
Of the remaining, v5 last due to age, v7 first due to being the default.
Re-add the random size range for large rooms.
Remove 'first_room_large' bool.
Add 'large_room_chance' parameter that can disable large rooms,
specify 1 large room, or specify a chance for large rooms.
If 1 or a chance is specified, the first generated room is large,
to take advantage of the intersection checks that are done for the
1st room only.
Move 'num_dungeons' to 'DungeonParams'.
Add new parameter 'num_rooms' to replace 'rooms_min' and 'rooms_max',
so that the mapgen has complete control over the number of rooms.
Add new bool 'first_room_large' so that the mapgen chooses this
instead of a hardcoded 1 in 4 chance.
Add new parameter 'room_size_large' to replace 'room_size_large_min'
and 'room_size_large_max', so that the mapgen has complete control
over this.
Biome-defined dungeon nodes was added as a feature to MT 5.0.0.
So now remove most of the hardcoded dungeon node code that assumes a
game has stone, sandstone, desert stone, and no other stone types.
If biome-defined dungeon nodes are not found, dungeon nodes fall back
to the 'cobble' mapgen alias if present, if not present they fall back
to biome-defined 'stone'.
Remove now-unnecessary mapgen aliases from MapgenBasic. Non-mgv6 games
now only need to define 3 to 5 mapgen aliases.
Document dungeon parameters.

Rivers are disabled by default and will not be added to existing worlds.
Rewrite getSpawnLevelAtPoint() to be simpler and more consistent with
generateTerrain().
Add user-settable noise parameters for dungeon density to each mapgen,
except V6 which hardcodes this noise parameter.
Move the calculation of number of dungeons generated in a mapchunk out
of dungeongen.cpp and into mapgen code, to allow mapgens to generate
any desired number of dungeons in a mapchunk, instead of being forced
to have number of dungeons determined by a density noise.
This is more flexible and allows mapgens to use dungeon generation to
create custom structures, such as occasional mega-dungeons.
The old texture modifier is restored by passing `m_previous_texture_modifier`.

When multiple recipes are applicable, the recipes are prioritised in this order:
toolrepair < shapeless with groups < shapeless < shaped with groups < shaped
For cooking and fuel, items are prioritised over item groups
This allows games to specify biome cave liquids and avoid the old
hardcoded behaviour, but preserves the ability to have multiple
cave liquids in one biome, such as lava and water.
When multiple cave liquids are defined by the biome definition,
make each entire cave use a randomly chosen liquid, instead of
every small cave segment using a randomly chosen liquid.
Plus an optimisation:
Don't place nodes if cave liquid is defined as 'air'
* 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.
* Force send a mapblock to a player.
Send a single mapblock to a specific remote player.
This is badly needed for mods and games where players are teleported
into terrain which may be not generated, loaded, or modified
significantly since the last player visit.
In all these cases, the player currently ends up in void, air, or
inside blocks which not only looks bad, but has the effect that the
player might end up falling and then the server needs to correct for
the player position again later, which is a hack.
The best solution is to send at least the single mapblock that the
player will be teleported to. I've tested this with ITB which does this
all the time, and I can see it functioning as expected (it even shows
a half loaded entry hallway, as the further blocks aren't loaded yet).
The parameter is a blockpos (table of x, y, z), not a regular pos.
The function may return false if the call failed. This is most likely
due to the target position not being generated or emerged yet, or
another internal failure, such as the player not being initialized.
* Always send mapblock on teleport or respawn.
This avoids the need for mods to send a mapblock on teleport or
respawn, since any call to `player:set_pos()` will pass this code.
* Improve readability of debug menu by using '|'
* Restore whitespace to separate yaw and cardinal direction

* Optimize packet construction functions
Some of the functions that construct packets in
connection.cpp are using a const reference to get the raw
packet data to package and others use a value passed
parameter to do that. The ones that use the value passed
parameter suffer from performance hit as the rather bulky
packet data gets a temporary copy when the parameter is
passed before it lands at its final destination inside the
newly constructed packet. The unnecessary temporary copy
hurts quite badly as the underlying class (SharedBuffer)
actually allocates the space for the data in the heap.
Fix the performance hit by converting all of these value
passed parameters to const references. I believe that this
is what the author of the relevant code actually intended
to do as there is a couple of packet construction helper
functions that already use a const reference to get the
raw data.
* Optimize packet sender thread class
Most of the data sending methods of the packet sender thread
class use a value passed parameter for the packet data to be
sent. This causes the rather bulky data to be allocated on
the heap and copied, slowing the packet sending down. Convert
these parameters to const references to avoid the performance
hit.
* Optimize packet receiver thread class
The packet receiver and processor thread class has many
methods (mostly packet handlers) that receive the packed data
by value. This causes a performance hit that is actually
worse than the one caused by the packet sender methods
because the packet is first handed to the processPacket
method which looks at the packet type stored in the header
and then delegates the actual handling to one of the
handlers. Both, processPacket and all the handlers get the
packet data by value, leading to at least two unnecessary
copies of the data (with malloc and all the slow bells and
whistles of bulky classes).
As there already is a few methods that use a const reference
parameter for the packet data, convert all this value passed
packets to const references.
6125 is the time of first full light according to 'get_node_light()',
and the time of first full light visually when basic shaders are on.
This is the optimum default new world start time, taking all possible
games into account.
The previous time assumed a game similar to Minetest Game. Games
should set this setting themselves according to their needs.
It turns out there is no need to return the new value and
preserve the old one in random_turn, the procedure can be
made to modify the value in-place. This saves quite a bunch
of parameter and return value copying.
Previously, when basic shaders were enabled, the function
time_to_daynight_ratio() returned values jumping between 149 and 150
between times 4375 and 4625, and values jumping between 999 and 1000
between times 6125 and 6375, (and the corresponding times at sunset)
due to tiny float errors in the interpolation code.
This caused the light level returned by blend_light() to jump between
14 and 15, which became noticeable recently as those light levels were
given different visual brightnesses.
Add early returns to avoid the problematic interpolation, and to
avoid unnecessary running of the loop.
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.
Like randomwalk caves, preserve nodes that have 'is_ground_content = false',
to avoid dungeons that generate out beyond the edge of a mapchunk destroying
nodes added by mods in 'register_on_generated()'.
Issue discovered by, and original PR by, argyle77.
This change permits to use up-to-date compilers, clang-tidy and
clang-format
It also refactor the tidy/format step to drop the binary selection from
scripts and perform it directly in travis
Shorter, simpler, clearer and more consistent with other mapgens,
while preserving functionality.
Base terrain shape is unchanged.
With the 'vary river depth' option disabled, river surface level
is unchanged.
Behaviour of the 4 heat/humidity/river depth options is very
slightly changed due to bugfixes and code cleanup (the mapgen is
'unstable').
Apply heat and humidity gradients above water_level instead of
above y = 0.
I removed the MapNode constructor which takes a nodename and gives the node's id or CONTENT_IGNORE
The code which used this constructor (two places) now handles the situation of not registered nodes correctly:
* minetest.set_node and similar functions make minetest crash when a not registered node is passed
* reverting a node with rollback aborts if the node is not registered
Use "append" method to construct the various game paths
instead of wasteful string concatenation. Additionally, use a
temporary to extract and reuse a result of a few common
subexpressions to further reduce the overhead.
The "what" parameter is being passed by value, most likely by
accident as the type is "const std::string". Convert it to a
reference by adding the missing "&".

* Allow adjusting the log color with an environment variable
If --color is not passed to minetest, is used to decide on the log colorization.
Minetest settings can not be used instead of an environment variable because logs may appear before loading them.
* fix empty if body
This loop makes multiple passes over m_stack (type std::list) in order to remove all elements with a specified value. Replacing the loop with a call to std::list::remove does the same job, but in only one pass.
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.
The getS16NoEx() handler will return true unless there is a
`[num_emerge_threads]` line in the `minetest.conf` at which
point the excption handler part is reached. Due to the fact that
`defaultsettings.cpp` has a default value set for this setting,
that never will happen.
Because of this, the code will never check the number of threads on
the system, and keep `nthreads = 0`. If that happens, the value is
changed to `1` and only 1 emerge thread will be used.
The default should be set to `1` instead, due to the potential unsafe
consequences for the standard sqlite map files, but that should be a
separate commit that also adds documentation for that setting. This
commit focuses on removing this `hiding` bug instead.
* Drop the ID mapper, use a big u64 instead. This will permit to resync server ids properly with the manager code

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.
Previously, when using 'place on vmanip' to add a schematic to a
lua voxelmanip, if part of the schematic was outside the voxelmanip
volume, the outside part would often appear in a strange place
elsewhere inside the voxelmanip instead of being trimmed off.
This was due to the out-of-bounds check checking the index.
A position outside the voxelmanip can have an index that satisfies
'0 <= index <= voxelmanip volume', causing the node to be placed
at a strange position inside the voxelmanip.
Use 'vm->m_area.contains(pos)' instead.
Move index calculation to later in the code to optimise.
If a formspec is submitted from a form fields handling
callback of another form (or "formspec shown from another
formspec"), the fields submitted for it can get
rejected by the form exploit mitigation subsystem with a
message like "'zorman2000' submitted formspec
('formspec_error:form2') but server hasn't sent formspec to
client, possible exploitation attempt" being sent to logs.
This was already reported as #7374 and a change was made
that fixed the simple testcase included with that bug
report but the bug still kept lurking around and popping
out in more complicated scenarios like the advtrains TSS
route programming UI.
Deep investigation of the problem revealed that this
sequence of events is entirely possible and leads to the
bug:
1. Server: show form1
2. Client *shows form1*
3. Client: submits form1
4. Server: show form2
5. Client: says form1 closed
6. Client *shows form2*
7. Client: submits form2
What happens inside the code is that when the server in
step 4 sends form2, the registry of opened forms is
updated to reflect the fact that form2 is now the valid
form for the client to submit. Then when in step 5 client
says "form1 was closed", the exploit mitigation subsystem
code deletes the registry entry for the client without
bothering to check whether the form client says was
closed just now is indeed the form that is recorded in
that entry as the valid form. Then later, in step 7 the
client tries to submit its valid form fields, these will
be rejected because the entry is missing.
It turns out the procedure where the broken code resides
already gets the form name so a simple "if" around the
offending piece of code fixes the whole thing. And
advtrains TSS agrees with that.
Reserve space for the list of games in findWorldSubgame. The
performance gain is pretty much negligible but this change
also gets rid of a performance warning by CLANG TIDY.
This patch will make distinguishable mods in modpacks possible in the future
`nil` checks are required to provide backwards-compatibility for fresh configured worlds
The craft definition handling code that collects the names of
the craftable nodes suffers from vector reallocation
performance hits, slowing down instances with lots of
crafting recipes (VanessaE's DreamBuilder and most public
server some to my mind when thinking about this). As in each
instance the size of the resulting vector is already known,
add a reserve() call before the offending loops to allocate
the needed chunk of memory within the result vector in one
go, getting rid of the overhead.
The pathfinder needs quite a bunch of items to add to the
resulting list. It turns out the amount of the space needed
for the finalized path is known in advance so preallocate it
to avoid a burst of reallocation calls each time something
needs to look for a path.

* serializing player meta must not setModified(false) because it didn't ensure write has been done
* add RemotePlayer::on_successfull_save callback to do the flag update on a successful save
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.
Previously, when the CSM restriction 'LOAD_CLIENT_MODS' was used a
client was still able to add CSM code to 'builtin' to bypass that
restriction, because 'builtin' is not yet verified.
Until server-sent CSM and verifying of 'builtin' are complete, make
'LOAD_CLIENT_MODS' disable the loading of builtin.
Clarify code comments and messages to distinguish between client-side
modding and client-side scripting. 'Scripting' includes 'builtin',
'modding' does not.
GCC and CLang compilers fail to support full IEC559 compliance required for the test, when certain compiler flags are active. This patch implements a heuristic that checks for the most common flag in GCC and CLang, plues an extra check which GCC disables when it's not compliant, to hopefully catch most cases where it can't run.

At sunset:
Stars first appear slightly later, at the time the sun disappears over the horizon,
this fixes seeing dark stars in front of the sun horizon glow texture.
Stars reach full brightness slightly earlier at time 20000, not so excessively long
after sunset.
The above behaviour is also applied at sunrise, but of course, time-inverted.
In pitch fly mode, you fly to the exact direction you are pointing at, using the forward key. Other move directions are also pitched accordingly.
It allows smoother and more complex movements.
Can be enabled/disabled by L key by default (set keymap_pitchfly in minetest.conf)
script_get_backtrace() was leaving its return value on the stack, corrupting
subsequent lua operations for functions that did not immediately return.
This problem can specifically be observed in the case of multiple "groupcaps"
entries, each of which provides the legacy "maxwear" property. These cause a
backtrace and thus pollute the stack for the following lua_next() call.
* Adds Lua methods 'set_rotation()' and 'get_rotation'. Also changed some method names to be more clear. Instead of an f32 being sent over network for yaw, now a v3f is sent for rotation on xyz axes. Perserved Lua method set_yaw/setyaw so that old mods still work, other wise to set yaw they would need to switch to set_rotation(0, yaw, 0).

Previously, each glass face used drawAutoLightedCuboid() to draw a

Never documented, long-unknown and not of much use.
Previously, 'time_brightness' never fell below the threshold so
night sky colours were not applied.
Increase the threshold value. But now also set it to a value less

Previously, night clouds were almost indistinguishable from night sky,
especially since a recent commit that made night sky brighter.
They were lacking the beautiful luminosity caused by being lit by the
permanently-full moon.
When 'directional_colored_fog = false' allow the dawn/dusk cloud
brightness boost to apply through the night too.
Set an identical minimum cloud brightness for when
'directional_colored_fog = true'.
Damage flash is shortened from 0.98-1.27s to 0.25s-0.33s to reduce
player in-game blindness, especially useful for combat situations.
It is also visually more comfortable.
Camera hurt tilt is made slightly shorter to match in duration.
Both flash and camera tilt are now of similar length to a typical
damage sound, such as the one used by Minetest Game which is 0.27s.
The 3 effects become more synchronised and unified.
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.
Also, use a better distance calculation for 'collide with objects'.
Fixes the issue of a vehicle occasionally colliding with its own driver,

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.
* Few code updates
* Do not show average RTT before timing out
* Fix unwanted integer division in RTTStatistics
* Fix float format, prettier jitter calculation
* Use +=, 0.1f -> 100.0f for stronger average updates
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.
