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
The child ID can now be checked against the parent ID in content_cao.cpp so the parent can be detected. Actual attachment code to come
Divide attachment system between server attachments and client attachments, neither coded right now. As explained in the code comment:
// Attachments need to be handled on both the server and client.
// If we attach only on the server, models (which are client-side)
// can't be read so we don't know the origin and orientation of bones.
// If we attach only on the client, the real position of attachments is
// not updated and you can't click them for example.
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
(obj, md2 and md3 are currently allowed)
Get rid of the texture string and use the existing textures array. Segmented meshes have multiple materials, and this will allow us to texture each. Do not switch to this commit yet!
If a texture string is left empty in LUA, don't modify that material. Useful so a script can change specific textures without affecting others
Players can now be set to meshes using the following test script:
function switch_player_visual()
prop = {
mesh="player.obj",
texture="player.png",
visual="mesh",
}
for _, obj in pairs(minetest.get_connected_players()) do
obj:set_properties(prop)
end
minetest.after(1.0, switch_player_visual)
end
minetest.after(1.0, switch_player_visual)
This allows the removal of nodes with unknown types.
get_item_callback() (C++) would fail if a node has an unknown type. Now it
will try using the callback from minetest.nodedef_default in this case.
Also, minetest.node_dig() (Lua) was altered to always allow digging when
the node definition is empty (i.e. unknown node).
