All terrain generation now occurs in one loop, instead of rivers being
carved afterwards in a separate loop.
Fixes the removal of nodes added by mods in 'register on generated'.
Avoids other problems and reduces the chance of future bugs.
Mapchunk generation time is reduced.
Also fixes a code mistake which resulted in river channel generation
being disabled at floatland altitudes even when floatlands were disabled.
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.
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
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.
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.
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Format the statistics line to align better with surrounding values
Refresh the profiler each 3 seconds (roughly)
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().
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.
