A user claimed that this texture was a texture from Minecraft 1.8.9 –
see <https://git.minetest.land/MineClone2/MineClone2/issues/2099> for
further details. I have not verified that but I noticed that in commit
152e55245804bd2b4790ee31454986948237d2a8 the file was replaced with a
file containing the exact same pixels.
A visual inspection confirms that the file contains noise, so it is not
clear if it is even copyrightable. However, to ensure that it could not
be identical to a file from Minecraft, To get noise of the same quality,
I have shuffled all its pixels with the following POSIX sh shell script:
LANG=C
PREFIX=mcl_end_crystal_beam
convert $PREFIX.png $PREFIX.pnm
<$PREFIX.pnm >$PREFIX.plainpnm pnmtoplainpnm
<$PREFIX.plainpnm >$PREFIX.seed tr '1234567890 ' ' 1356902468'
(
<$PREFIX.plainpnm head -n+3
<$PREFIX.plainpnm tail -n+4 \
|tr ' ' '\n' \
|shuf --random-source $PREFIX.seed
) >$PREFIX.shuffled.plainpnm
I then opened mcl_end_crystal_beam.shuffled.plainpnm using GIMP,
converted the color black to tranparency and saved the image as a
paletted PNG (which yields a smaller filesize than a grayscale PNG).
The global(!) table settlements_in_world` has no use, but is serialized and
saved to a file `settlements.txt` every time during generation of a new
village, adding more lag. This commit removes all related code:
* Remove all instances of `settlements_in_world`.
* Remove `settlements.load()` and `settlements.save()`.
* Move descriptive function comments to above the function definition.
* Adopt some luadoc styles.
* Update a stale reference to a renamed function in comments.
* Fix silly and mostly inconsequential logic bug that had gone unnoticed up
till now.
* Condense a single use variable away by using a slightly more elaborate
assignment statement.
* Add a few more local aliases for global minetest.* functions.
* Replace use of local table with compostability values with a call to
`minetest.get_item_group()`.
* Define local alias for `minetest.get_item_group`.
* Remove the now unused static compostabilty values table.
mcl2 uses add_particle for nether dust resulting in a 10-fold
increase in network traffic when in the nether. Nether dust is not
configurable making it impossible to turn this off for server admins.
this commit replaces the add_particle method with particle spawners
* For some unexplained reason, `mcl_burning.storage[player]` can
sometimes be `nil`, causing a crash in `on_leaveplayer()`. This
commit adds a check for that. If a `nil` is encountered, a sane
value is substituted and a warning is set to the log.
* Change carpet from `group:attached_node` to `group:supported_node`,
allowing carpets to be placed on top of torches, water source blocks
and other non-walkable nodes, like in MC.
* Add support for `group:supported_node` to CORE/mcl_attached.
Supported nodes are nodes that can be placed on any node that does not
have the `drawtype = "airlike"` attribute.
* Copy the `drop_attached_node()` function from minetest/builtin, so
that the override function provides the same behavior when nodes drop.
* Add comments to CORE/mcl_attached and to the functions defined in it.
* Add more local aliases for global minetest.* functions.
* If the original function returns true, it is not necessary anymore
to perform more tests and the override function can simply return true
immediately.
