WorldEditAdditions Changelog

It's about time I started a changelog! This will serve from now on as the main changelog for WorldEditAdditions.

Note to self: See the bottom of this file for the release template text.

v1.14: The untitled update (unreleased)

  • Add //dome+, which allows you to change the direction the dome is pointing in, and also create multiple domes at once
  • Add //metaball, which renders 2 or more metaballs in Minetest
  • Migrate from depends.txt to mod.conf
  • //sculpt: Fix undefined default brush
  • Commands that modify the terrain now ignore liquids
  • //hollow: Fix safe region bug
  • Significant backend refactoring to tidy things up
  • Add new multi-point selection wand A picture of the multi-point wand to select many points at once. Not currently compatible with other wands, as it's a work-in-progress (commands that support/require more than 2 points are hopefully coming soon)

v1.13: The transformational update (2nd January 2022)

  • Add //sfactor (selection factor) - Selection Tools by @VorTechnix are finished for now.
  • Add //mface (measure facing), //midpos (measure middle position), //msize (measure size), //mtrig (measure trigonometry) - Measuring Tools implemented by @VorTechnix.
  • Add //airapply for applying commands only to air nodes in the defined region
  • Add //wcorner (wireframe corners), //wbox (wireframe box), //wcompass (wireframe compass) - Wireframes implemented by @VorTechnix.
  • Add //for for executing commands while changing their arguments - Implemented by @VorTechnix.
  • Add //sshift (selection shift) - WorldEdit cuboid manipulator replacements implemented by @VorTechnix.
  • Add //noise2d for perturbing terrain with multiple different noise functions
  • Add //noiseapply2d for running commands on columns where a noise value is over a threshold
  • Add //ellipsoid2 which creates an ellipsoid that fills the defined region
  • Add //spiral2 for creating both square and circular spirals
  • Add //copy+ for copying a defined region across multiple axes at once
  • Add //move+ for moving a defined region across multiple axes at once
  • Add //sculpt and //sculptlist for sculpting terrain using a number of custom brushes.
  • Use luacheck to find and fix a large number of bugs and other issues [code quality from now on will be significantly improved]
  • Multiple commands: Allow using quotes ("thing", 'thing') to quote values when splitting
  • //layers: Add optional slope constraint (inspired by WorldPainter)
  • //bonemeal: Add optional node list constraint
  • //walls: Add optional thickness argument

Bugfixes

  • //floodfill: Fix crash caused by internal refactoring of the Queue data structure
  • //spop: Fix wording in displayed message
  • Sapling alias compatibility:
    • Correct alias of default:sapling from oak to apple (since it produces apples)
    • moretrees:apple_tree_sapling_ongen from apple to apple_moretrees
    • Add plumplumtree:sapling
    • Add hollyhollytree:sapling
  • //replacemix: Improve error handling to avoid crashes (thanks, Jonathon for reporting via Discord!)
  • Cloud wand: Improve chat message text
  • Fix bonemeal mod detection to look for the global bonemeal, not whether the bonemeal mod name has been loaded
  • //bonemeal: Fix argument parsing
  • //walls: Prevent crash if no parameters are specified by defaulting to dirt as the replace_node
  • //maze, //maze3d:
    • Fix generated maze not reaching the very edge of the defined region
    • Fix crash if no arguments are specified
    • Fix automatic seed when generating many mazes in the same second (e.g. with //for, //many)
  • //convolve: Fix those super tall pillars appearing randomly
  • cloud wand: improve feedback messages sent to players
  • //forest: Update sapling aliases for bamboobambo:sprout instead of bamboo:sapling

v1.12: The selection tools update (26th June 2021)

  • Add //spush, //spop, and //sstack
  • Add //srect (select rectangle), //scol (select column), //scube (select cube) - thanks, @VorTechnix!
  • Add //scloud (select point cloud), //scentre (select centre node(s)), //srel (select relative) - thanks, @VorTechnix!
  • Add //smake (selection make) - thanks, @VorTechnix!
  • Significantly refactored backend utility functions (more to come in future updates)
  • Add new universal chance parsing
    • Any <chance> can now either be a 1-in-N number (e.g. 4, 10), or a percentage chance (e.g. 50%, 10%).
    • Caveat: Percentages are converted to a 1-in-N chance, but additionally that number is rounded down in some places
  • //torus, //hollowtorus: Add optional new axes
  • //torus, //ellipsoid: Add optional hollow keyword - @VorTechnix
  • //multi: Add curly brace syntax for nesting command calls (more information)
  • //erode: Add new river erosion algorithm for filling in potholes and removing pillars

Bugfixes

  • //bonemeal: Try bonemealing everything that isn't an air block (#49)
  • //overlay: Don't place nodes above water
  • //multi: Improve resilience by handling some edge cases
  • //layers: Fix crash due to outdated debug code
  • //erode/snowballs: Fix assignment to undeclared variable
  • //floodfill: Fix error handling

v1.11: The big data update (25th January 2021)

  • Add //scale (currently experimental)
    • Scale operations that scale up and down at the same time are split into 2 separate operations automatically (scaling up is always performed first)
  • //count: Make numbers human-readable
    • Tip: Use a monospace font for the chat window, and the columns will be aligned!
  • Add //hollow for hollowing out areas (a step towards parity with Minecraft WorldEdit)
  • //subdivide: Improve performance of initial chunk counting algorithm - it should get started on the job much quicker now (especially on large regions)
  • //subdivide: Fix a bug where the entire defined region was emerged all at once instead of in chunks
  • //subdivide: Fix performance & memory usage issues
    • Fix passing arguments to the command being executed
    • If you encounter any other issues with it over large areas (particularly 2000x150x2000 and larger), please let me know
  • Bugfix: Fix obscure crash in calls to human_size ("unknown" will now be returned if passed junk)
  • //many can now be used with commands with no arguments.
  • //conv, //erode, //fillcaves: Treat liquids as air
  • Add new cloud wand
  • //conv, //erode: Minor refactoring to improve code clarity

v1.10: The tidyup update (16th January 2021)

  • //maze: Fix some parts of generated mazes staying solid
  • //maze, //maze3d: Allow non-number seeds (existing seeds aren't affected - they will still produce identical output)
  • //many: Improve format of progress messages, add ETA
  • //subdivide: Make asynchronous, and use minetest.emerge_area() to ensure areas are loaded before executing on a subdivision chunk
    • This will ensure that //subdivideing enormous regions should now function as expected. Want to level an entire rainforest with //subdivide and //clearcut? Now you can! :D
  • Add //line for drawing simple lines

v1.9: The Nature Update (20th September 2020)

  • Add //many for executing a command many times in a row
  • Add experimental //erode command
  • Add //fillcaves command - fills in all air nodes beneath non air-nodes
  • Add //forest command for quickly generating forests, and //saplingaliases to compliment it
  • Add //ellipsoidapply: Like //cubeapply, but clips the result to an ellipsoid that is the size of the defined region.
  • Fix some minor bugs and edge cases
  • //subdivide: Print status update when completing the last chunk
  • //count: Optimise by removing nested for loops

v1.8: The Quality of Life Update (17th July 2020)

  • Update //multi to display human readable times (e.g. 2.11mins instead of 126600ms)
  • Far wand: Notify player when setting pos1 and pos2
  • Make timings more accurate (use minetest.get_us_time() instead of os.clock())
  • Add experimental //subdivide command
  • Attempt to fix a crash on startup due to a dependency issue (#21)

v1.7: The Terrain Update! (21st June 2020)

  • Added //layers (like WorldEdit for Minecraft's //naturalize)
  • Added //convolve (advanced terrain smoothing inspired by image editors)
  • Added far wand (like the regular WorldEdit wand, but with a configurable range that can extend to 100s of blocks) [/list]

Updating

Updating depends on how you installed WorldEditAdditions.

  • UI in Minetest: There should be an update button for you to click in the mod menu
  • ContentDB: Download the latest update from here
  • Git: cd to the WorldEditAdditions directory and run git pull (Important: Recently, WorldEditAdditions changed the default branch from master to main. If you're updating from before then, you'll need to re-clone the mod or else do some git-fu)

After installing the update, don't forget to restart your client and / or server.
