I could honestly not make much sense of the timer implementation
that was here. Instead I've implemented the type of timer algorithm
that I've used before, and tested it instead.
The concept is extremely simple: all timers are put in an ordered
list. We check every server tick if any of the timers have
elapsed, and execute the function associated with this timer.
We know that many timers by themselves cause new timers to be
added to this list, so we iterate *backwards* over the timer
list. This means that new timers being added while timers are
being executed, can never be executed in the same function pass,
as they are always appended to the table *after* the end of
the table, which we will never reach in the current pass over
all the table elements.
We switch time keeping to minetest.get_us_time(). dtime is
likely unreliable and we have our own high-res timer that we
can fix if it is indeed broken. This removes the need to do
any sort of time keeping.
clock_gettime() is a far better clock than gettimeofday().
Even better than clock_gettime() is that you can select either
CLOCK_MONOTONIC, or even CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW. These clocks offer
high precision time. And the _RAW variant will never roll back
due to NTP drift or daylight savings, or otherwise.
I've adjusted this code to select the right clock method auto-
matically based on what's available in the OS. This means that
if you're running a very old linux version, MacOS or other,
you will automatically get the best clocksource available.
I've tested all Linux clocksources by selectively compiling and
running a 10k+ timer test suite. In all cases I confirmed that
the 3 POSIX Linux clocksources worked properly, and were
selected properly.
I've modified the OS X compile path to use the high-res clock
source for all time functions, but I can't confirm it works or
that it compiles.
As for WIN32, I confirmed that the used clocksource is indeed
a Monotonic clocksource, so good news: that code section appears
to be exactly what it should be.
Backface culling is enabled by default for all tiles, as this
is how the lua parser initializes each tiledef. We revert to
always using the value from the tiledef since it is always
read and serialized.
Mods that wish to enable culling for e.g. mesh nodes, now can
specify the following to enable backface culling:
tiles = {{ name = "tex.png", backface_culling = true }},
Note the double '{' and use of 'name' key here! In the same
fashion, backface_culling can be disabled for any node now.
I've tested this against the new door models and this properly
allows me to disable culling per node. I've also tested this
against my crops mod which uses mesh nodes where culling needs
to be disabled, and tested also with plantlike drawtype nodes
where we want this to continue to be disabled.
No default setting has changed. The defaults are just migrated
from nodedef.cpp to c_content.cpp.
* Add main page.

* Add logo.
* Fix project name hardcoding.
* Remove PAPER_TYPE (only used when GENERATE_LATEX is enabled).

* Enable generation timestamp.
To terminate unwanted shadows from floatlands or realms above
Also add to LuaVoxelManip calc_lighting for use in mapgen mods
Remove the 2 argument calcLighting, mapgens now use the 5
argument form to specify the volumes for propagateSunlight and
spreadLight
In mgsinglenode replace calcLighting with setLighting and
clean-up use of tabs and spaces
This adds a chat console the server owner can use for administration
or to talk with players.
It runs in its own thread, which makes the user interface immune to
the server's lag, behaving just like a client, except timeout.
As it uses the same console code as the f10 console, things like nick
completion or a scroll buffer basically come for free.
The terminal itself is written in a general way so that adding a
client version later on is just about implementing an interface.
Fatal errors are printed after the console exists and the ncurses
terminal buffer gets cleaned up with endwin(), so that the error still
remains visible.
The server owner can chose their username their entered text will
have in chat and where players can send PMs to.
Once the username is secured with a password to prevent anybody to
take over the server, the owner can execute admin tasks over the
console.
This change includes a contribution by @kahrl who has improved ncurses
library detection.
* Add key settings to setting table and ignore them later
This way they are added to the auto-generated minetest.conf.example
* Add flags type
* Add input validation for int, float and flags
* Break in-game graphic settings into multiple sections
* Parse settingtpes.txt in mods and games
* Improve description for a lot of settings
* Fix typos and wording in settingtypes.txt
* Convert language setting to an enum
The callback can now be invoked with either the player object or name as
the first parameter, and with either a table or a list of strings, like
this:
minetest.check_player_privs(player_name, { shout = true, fly = true })
minetest.check_player_privs(player_name, "shout", "fly")
minetest.check_player_privs(player, { shout = true, fly = true })
minetest.check_player_privs(player, "shout", "fly")
- Add warning log level
- Change debug_log_level setting to enumeration string
- Map Irrlicht log events to MT log events
- Encapsulate log_* functions and global variables into a class, Logger
- Unify dstream with standard logging mechanism
- Unify core.debug() with standard core.log() script API
This might break some mods, but it is important for all uses of the param2 to
be documented.
This doesn't need a serialisation version or network protocol version change,
as old clients will still work on new servers, and it is bearable to have
new clients getting non rotated plants on old servers.
It returns the index used in mg->biomemap for a given biome name.
The biomemap is useless without this unless you re-register all existing biomes,
which could cause problems for anyone else trying to use biomemap.
With this, you can quickly create a lookup table of ids and names.
Because not all circles are round:
* circles using an euclidean metric are what we usually call "round"
* circles using a maximum metric look like euclidean rectangles with equal adjacent sides (squares)
* circles using a manhattan metric look like an euclidean right angled rhombus (squares, but 45° rotated to the former one)

Document the node metadata changes of the commit (serialisation version >=23):
704782c95b8a4194a9383da55d93f37fd0f7278f "WIP node metadata, node timers"
Fix regression since commit:
915807f8db1f3721ad9ffc00a4863ad940010c45 "Rename doc/mapformat.txt and update doc to match SRP changes"
And add an underscore to doc file name to make it more readable.
1. Do two renames:
* SER_FMT_CLIENT_VER_LOWEST -> SER_FMT_VER_LOWEST_WRITE
* SER_FMT_VER_LOWEST -> SER_FMT_VER_LOWEST_READ
Now the two define values are consistently named with the _WRITE defines
SER_FMT_VER_{HIGHEST,LOWEST}_WRITE, and to better point out what the two
serialisation versions actually are for.
2. wrap some lines in doc/worldformat.txt, and point out that the node
timers are serialized at a later point, as this can cause confusion about
what now happens (if one doesn't strictly read the if block's conditions).
3. some whitespace fixes in NodeTimerList::serialize, and one new comment.
The documentation file contains not just information about the
map itself, but also about further files inside the world's
directory.
Documentation didn't reflect recent SRP addition, now it does.
Modders are now able to select the range of ore column height,
and the midpoint at which they 'grow' starting from.
This commit adds three new parameters for the 'sheet' ore type:
column_height_min, column_height_max, and column_midpoint_factor.
clust_size is now deprecated for this ore type.
The neighbours checked are the 8 nodes horizontally surrounding the decoration base
and the 8 nodes horizontally surrounding the ground node below the decoration
Adds list-rings, a method to implement item sending between inventories via shift-click.
Nice insider feature: a ring consisting of a single inventory list serves as nice clean-up method.
Also adds them to minimal game, and the standard inventory.
Craft output slots are not supported.
This adds the ability to grab 'slices' of noise calculated by PerlinNoiseMap.
Retrieving smaller slices of noise from the computation result as needed
optimizes memory usage while maintaining a reasonable amount of CPU overhead.
NodeResolver name lists now belong to the NodeResolver object instead of
the associated NodeDefManager. In addition to minimizing unnecessary
abstraction and overhead, this move permits NodeResolvers to look up nodes
that they had previously set pending for resolution. So far, this
functionality has been used in the case of schematics for
serialization/deserialization.
- General code cleanup
- Unified object creation and loading
- Specifying objects in APIs is now orthogonal (i.e. anything can take an ID,
name string, or the raw table definition (and automatically registers if present
* Combine client and server man pages.
* Update unit test options and available databases in man page.
* Add `--worldname` to man page.
* Fix a bunch of places where `"Minetest"` was used directly instead of `PROJECT_NAME`.
* Disable server build by default on all operating systems.
* Make `ENABLE_FREETYPE` not fail if FreeType isn't found.
* Enable LevelDB, Redis, and FreeType detection by default.
* Remove the `VERSION_PATCH_ORIG` hack.
* Add option to search for and use system JSONCPP.
* Remove broken LuaJIT version detection.
* Rename `DISABLE_LUAJIT` to `ENABLE_LUAJIT`.
* Rename `minetest_*` variables in `version.{h,cpp}` to `g_*`.
* Clean up style of CMake files.
Client now informs about incompatible servers from the list, this permits to prevent the protocol movements.
Server announces its supported protocol versions to master server
Just Markdown, no variant of it. File name intentionally
not changed to “lua_api.md” because of fear to break references
to that file. The file can still be renamed later.
If CMake is run and Doxygen is found, add a make target called "doc",
which builds API documention in doc/html. This target is not included
in the default "all" target, you have to explicitly run "make doc" to
generate the documentation.
If graphviz is installed, in particular, if the "dot" binary is found,
doxygen is configured to generate various kinds of diagrams. Note that
due to this, the first run of doxygen can take a while.
Changes:
* Add extra documentation for remove_item.
This isn't as silly as it sounds: iterate a list containing items with
unique metadata each, and remove_item the first one you find, placing
into a different - fine, except the remove will invariably remove the
wrong one, leading to items being duplicated and others destroyed.
Arguably it's a bug, and Inventory::removeItem should actually remove
the item you tell it to. (i.e. if the passed ItemStack has metadata,
match it). But it seems reasonable to just document the behaviour
more clearly.
* Improve string_to_pos documentation.
* Clarify dig_node documentation (return value).
* Better on_step documentation.
* get_nodemeta -> get_meta.
* Other minor fixes.

Background
Wuzzy2: If you attempt to spawn a L-system tree with minetest.spawn_tree, you can make Minetest crash if it is attempted to pop an empty stack.
ShadowNinja: This shouldn't cause a segmentation fault, but it should throw a Lua error
Commit Description
This commit throws a Lua error instead of causing a segmentation fault. The server will still "crash" but will include a Lua backtrace.
L-Systems fix randomness
Unless a random seed is provided (via Lua treedef) seed the PRNG with a different seed for each tree
Resolves: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/1469
Fix l-system crash when treedef random_level not set by Lua
Config settings:
profiling = true/false (gather statistics)
detailed_profiling = true/false (break mod times to callbacks)
Chat commands:
save_mod_profile saves current statistics in debug.txt and shows on console (on default loglevel)
There have been plenty of ppl involved in creating this version.
I don't wanna mention names as I'm sure I'd forget someone so I
just tell where help has been done:
- The partial android versions done by various ppl
- Testing on different android devices
- reviewing code (especially the in core changes)
- testing controls
- reviewing texts
A big thank you to everyone helping this to be completed!
Add DPI support for statbar
Move heart+bubble bar to Lua HUD
Add statbar size (based upon an idea by blue42u)
Add support for customizing breath and statbar
Don't use TOSERVER_RECEIVED_MEDIA but TOSERVER_CLIENT_READY as indicatio for client ready
Handle clients with protocol version < 23 (almost) same way as before
Make client tell server about it's version
Add client state to not send bogus player position updates prior init complete
Add access to statistics information (peer connction time,rtt,version)
Fix clients standing stalled in world while preloading item visuals (new clients only)
Add get_player_information to read client specific information from lua
On the lua side, notably minetest.env:<function>(<args>) should now
be replaced by minetest.<function>(<args>).
The old way is and will stay supported for a long time.
Also:
Update and clean up lua_api.txt (by celeron55)
Move EnvRef to lua and remove add_rat and add_firefly (by kahrl)
Add separate src/util/CMakeLists.txt, other minor fixes (by kahrl)
Spawn single particles or make use of ParticleSpawner for many randomly spawned particles.
Accessible in Lua using minetest.spawn_particle and minetest.add_particlespawner.
Increase Protocol Version to 17.
Conflicts:
src/clientserver.h
Scripts can call minetest.register_on_shutdown() to register a
shutdown hook.
Document that minetest.register_on_shutdown() callbacks may not be run
If the server crashes, it is unlikely that callbacks registered using
minetest.register_on_shutdown() will be called.
Correct lua api version number
Always update animations and attachments after the entity is added to scene client side. Fixes animations not being applied in client initialization for some reason. Attachments should be re-tested now just to be safe.
Fix a segmentation fault caused by reaching materials that didn't exist in a loop for setting texture
No longer hide players who are dead. With models, a death animation should be used instead
Some changes requested by celeron55
Rename a lot of things in the code, and use better lua api function names
Minor code corrections
Bump protocol version up, since the models / animations / attachments code creates new client<->server messages
Fix the last segmentation fault (apparently). So far attachments seem to be fully functional, although removing the parent causes children to go to origin 0,0,0 and possibly still cause such a fault (though this should already be addressed)
Fix a bug in falling code where entities get stuck
Also check if the parent has been removed server-side, and detach the child if so. Fixes children going to origin 0,0,0 when their parent is removed.
Unset all attachment properties when permanently detaching (on both the client and server). Also store less data we don't need
Create a separate function for detaching, and also update lua api documentation
When a child is detached, update its position from the server to clients. This WILL cause it to get positioned slightly differently client side, as the server attachment system only copies parent origin and knows not about mesh / bone transformation. This prevents different clients seeing the object detached in different spots which is most correct
Update the position of attached players to clients. An attached player will see himself move, but this is currently VERY ugly and laggy as it is done by the server (it probably must stay this way too)
Use a different approach for locally attached players. This allows for smooth positio transitions to work, as well at the player turning around freely. Still buggy however
New object property which allows changing the color and alpha of mesh materials. Due to the current lighting systems it doesn't work yet, but the full implementation is there
Framework for the attachment system, with no actual functionality yet
Send bone and player object to the setAttachment function in content_sao.cpp, but we need a way to translate it there and send it to the client
I will also want position and rotation offsets to be possible to apply to attachments
Network object ID from server to client. This will be used to identify the parent client-side and know what to attach to
Support for animation blending, though for some reason it doesn't work.
Don't enable animation transitions by default for many reaosons
Object property to store individual bone positions. LUA can specify a bone name followed by a bone position. No functionality yet. Bone rotation to be added in the following commit
Same system for bone rotation, plus a few other things I missed
