Reduces stutter and freezes when playing.
* Maintains double SM and SM Color textures
* Light frustum update triggers incremental generation of shadow map into secondary 'future' textures.
* Every incremental update renders a portion of the shadow draw list (split equally).
* After defined number of frames (currently, 4), 'future' and 'current' textures are swapped, and DirectionalLight 'commits' the new frustum to use when rendering shadows on screen.

This completely removes any mention of the software and D3D drivers from MT, preventing the user from accidentally attempting to use them. Users who need a software renderer should be asked to install Mesa drivers which offer superior fidelity and performance over the 'burningsvideo' driver.
If enabled in minetest.conf, provides colored, clickable (middle-mouse or ctrl-left-mouse) weblinks in chat output, to open the OS' default web browser.
This only works when shaders are enabled.
The centroid varying avoids that the textures (which repeat themselves out of bounds) are sampled out of bounds in MSAA.
If MSAA (called FSAA in minetest) is disabled, the centroid keyword does nothing.
Erase all traces of normal "generation" from fragment shaders
Remove the "feature" from the engine and default config
Remove any leftover documentation of it
The default (PC-style) MainMenu works great on Android. Provides access to ContentDB and allows players to create many worlds in a few clicks.
Makes the interface consistent and eliminates player confusion.
Fix incorrect value of 'mgv7_floatland_density'.
Use correct spelling of 'persistence'.
Move '3d_paralax_strength' into correct section (3D mode).
Refer to 'active_object_send_range_blocks' instead of non-existent 'active_object_range'.
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.
This will likely be more intuitive for users and should play better
with sandboxed distributions such as Flatpak.
In addition, the screenshot directory will now be created if it doesn't
exist already.
Camera's near-plane will be hard-coded to 0.1 on all non-Android platforms. The upper-bound of this setting has been reduced to 0.25, as 0.5 is just way too high.
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.
Revert gamma upper limit to 3.0 because that was raised based on
a misunderstanding and had no benefit. A sane upper limit is
needed as players on a competitive server tend to use the maximum.
Set gamma lower limit to 0.33 for consistency with 3.0.
Set sane limits on alpha, beta, boost and enforce these in code
to limit values entered in minetest.conf and to avoid easy cheating
by editing settingtypes.txt.
Improve documentation and 'readable' setting names.
Clarify that gamma does not significantly affect natural night light.
light.cpp: Various codestyle and comment improvements.
Previously, the 'rivers' checkbox was missing for mgcarpathian, caused by the 'possible flags' order: 'caverns,nocaverns,rivers,norivers'.
Also reorder mgcarpathian 'possible flags', but only for consistency.
The setting now accepts values between 1 and 8 in the
Advanced Settings menu.
Values 0 and 1 now behave the same way (setting it to 1 won't
disable MSAA anymore), so there's no need to expose 0 as a value.
This closes#8939.
Before opening the file for writing, its file size is tested. If it exceeds 50 MB, it is moved to debut.txt.1, otherwise the log is appended to the old messages. An old debut.txt.1 is removed if it already exists.
Improve 'readable' setting names for waving water settings.
Change 'near plane' to 'near clipping plane'.
Document physics settings.
mgv6_spflags:
Change 'new biome system' to 'snowbiomes flag' for clarity.
Add missing 'noflat' flag to default flags.
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.
Rivers are disabled by default and will not be added to existing worlds.
Rewrite getSpawnLevelAtPoint() to be simpler and more consistent with
generateTerrain().
Add user-settable noise parameters for dungeon density to each mapgen,
except V6 which hardcodes this noise parameter.
Move the calculation of number of dungeons generated in a mapchunk out
of dungeongen.cpp and into mapgen code, to allow mapgens to generate
any desired number of dungeons in a mapchunk, instead of being forced
to have number of dungeons determined by a density noise.
This is more flexible and allows mapgens to use dungeon generation to
create custom structures, such as occasional mega-dungeons.
6125 is the time of first full light according to 'get_node_light()',
and the time of first full light visually when basic shaders are on.
This is the optimum default new world start time, taking all possible
games into account.
The previous time assumed a game similar to Minetest Game. Games
should set this setting themselves according to their needs.
Previously, when the CSM restriction 'LOAD_CLIENT_MODS' was used a
client was still able to add CSM code to 'builtin' to bypass that
restriction, because 'builtin' is not yet verified.
Until server-sent CSM and verifying of 'builtin' are complete, make
'LOAD_CLIENT_MODS' disable the loading of builtin.
Clarify code comments and messages to distinguish between client-side
modding and client-side scripting. 'Scripting' includes 'builtin',
'modding' does not.
In pitch fly mode, you fly to the exact direction you are pointing at, using the forward key. Other move directions are also pitched accordingly.
It allows smoother and more complex movements.
Can be enabled/disabled by L key by default (set keymap_pitchfly in minetest.conf)
Works by detecting a collision while moving forward and then
simulating a jump. If the simulated jump is more successful,
an artificial jump key press is injected in the client.
Includes setting and key change GUI element for enabling and
disabling this feature.
Make tunnels wider and use the noise parameters of most other mapgens.
All other underground features are already identical to all other
non-mgv6 mapgens, this final change modernises and improves the tunnels.
* Fix textarea formspec documentation
The label is shown and the background isn't
* Document the missing gamma correction when generating mip maps
* Remove duplicate text (such as size parameter descriptions)
Add 2 new mapgen flags to make river depth variation and humidity drop
with altitude independently optional, instead of both being enabled by
the 'humid rivers' flag.
Simplify and clarify related code by removing a low priority
optimisation regarding 't_heat'.
Remove unnecessary optimisation bools and use spflags directly instead.
Improve and fix documentation in settingtypes.txt.
A few minor code cleanups.
Previously the only way to disable biomes was to 'clear' the registered
biomes in a mod, but this method causes large amounts of unnecessary
processing:
1. Calculation of 4 2D noises.
2. Looping through all nodes of a mapchunk replacing nodes with identical
nodes.
The new flag disables those operations.
In the client, raise lower limit from 30 to 45 degrees, to avoid server
seeing this as a zoom and loading world beyond the server-set limit.
Add minimum in settingtypes.txt and enforce lower limit when set using
minetest.conf.
In the server, distrust the client-sent FOV if below the heuristic zoom
threshold and use the player object property 'zoom_fov' to check it, to
protect against hacked clients.
* Android: Replace movement buttons with joystick
Replace movement control buttons (arrows at bottom left screen) with virtual joystick.
Joystick has 8 directions (same as keyboard). Basically, just map it to keyboard input.
Joystick applies only on left 1/3 of screen.
Joystick's position can be fixed by enabling fixed_virtual_joystick setting.
Three new images:
(1) placeholder joystick,
(2) joystick container (background), and
(3) joystick cursor.
Remove unused images: movement control buttons (*_arrow.png).
New data type: touch_gui_joystick_move_id
Joystick's fixed position is spaced one button size from bottom and from left of screen.
Remove unused variable: m_joystick_downlocation
Use the --color command line parameter instead of a setting for coloured logs
This fixes the missing warningstream bug, g_settings->get mustn't be used there.
Also, the decision about en- or disabling log colours fits better to the command line parameters than minetest settings.
The following languages exist in Minetest PO folder were missing from the selection menu:
- dv (Dhivehi)
- ms (Malay)
- sl (Slovenian)
- sv (Swedish)
- sw (Swahili)
Remove player object property 'can zoom'.
Add player object property 'zoom fov'.
Remove clientside setting for 'zoom fov'.
Object property default is 15 degrees in creative mode, zoom disabled
in survival mode.
Needed due to zoom now loading and/or generating distant world
according to zoom FOV.
Update object properties serialisation version to 3.
Formspec input for each individual noise parameter and flag.
Allow noise flags to be set in advanced settings, previously only settable
in minetest.conf.
Standardise 'group format' for noise parameters set in minetest.conf, as
only these support noise flags. However the older 'single line' format is
still accepted to support existing minetest.conf files.
Therefore auto-generate minetest.conf.example with noise parameters in
'group format'.
Setting 'type' in settingtypes.txt is now either 'noise_params_2D' or
'noise_params_3D', the dimension number is displayed in the advanced
settings edit page.
