* Force send a mapblock to a player.
Send a single mapblock to a specific remote player.
This is badly needed for mods and games where players are teleported
into terrain which may be not generated, loaded, or modified
significantly since the last player visit.
In all these cases, the player currently ends up in void, air, or
inside blocks which not only looks bad, but has the effect that the
player might end up falling and then the server needs to correct for
the player position again later, which is a hack.
The best solution is to send at least the single mapblock that the
player will be teleported to. I've tested this with ITB which does this
all the time, and I can see it functioning as expected (it even shows
a half loaded entry hallway, as the further blocks aren't loaded yet).
The parameter is a blockpos (table of x, y, z), not a regular pos.
The function may return false if the call failed. This is most likely
due to the target position not being generated or emerged yet, or
another internal failure, such as the player not being initialized.
* Always send mapblock on teleport or respawn.
This avoids the need for mods to send a mapblock on teleport or
respawn, since any call to `player:set_pos()` will pass this code.
* Adds Lua methods 'set_rotation()' and 'get_rotation'. Also changed some method names to be more clear. Instead of an f32 being sent over network for yaw, now a v3f is sent for rotation on xyz axes. Perserved Lua method set_yaw/setyaw so that old mods still work, other wise to set yaw they would need to switch to set_rotation(0, yaw, 0).
* Fix animation frame_speed and blend loosing precision due to incorrect data type
Add lua function set_animation_frame_speed to update the frame speed without resetting the animation to start
* Code modernization: subfolders
Modernize various code on subfolders client, network, script, threading, unittests, util
* empty function
* default constructor/destructor
* for range-based loops
* use emplace_back instead of push_back
* C++ STL header style
* Make connection.cpp readable in a pointed place + typo
Default true.
Add 'm_clouds_enabled' bool to sky.h, set from new bool in 'set sky' API.
Make 'getCloudsVisible()' depend on 'm_clouds_enabled' instead of
'm_visible' (whether normal sky is visible).
Temporary option for the old move code for specific old sneak behaviour.
Enabled by setting the added 'new move' physics override to false.
By default 'new move' is true.
* This backend permit mods to store extra players attributes to a common interface.
* Add the obj:set_attribute(attr, value) Lua call
* Add the obj:get_attribute(attr) Lua call
Examples:
* player:set_attribute("home:home", "10,25,-78")
* player:get_attribute("default:mana")
Attributes are saved as a json in the player file in extended_attributes
key
They are saved only if a modification on the attributes occurs and loaded
when emergePlayer is called (they are attached to PlayerSAO).
* Server/Client Environments now have an helper to cast Player object in the right type to use it
* Server: use RemotePlayer everywhere and remove previous added casts
* Client: use LocalPlayer where needed
* Environment: remove unused functions (getPlayers(), getRandomConnectedPlayer(), getNearestConnectedPlayer())
* LocalPlayer take ownership of maxHudId as it's the only caller
* RemotePlayer take ownership of day night ratio as it's the only user
* Pass getPlayerControl as const reference to prevent object copy on each call (perf improvement in ObjectRef::l_get_player_control call)
* getPlayerSAO is now only RemotePlayer call
* get/setHotbarItemCount is now RemotePlayer owned
* Server: Use RemotePlayer instead of Player object on concerned call to properly fix the object type
* PlayerSAO now uses RemotePlayer instead of Player because it's only server side
* ObjectRef::getplayer also returns RemotePlayer as it's linked with PlayerSAO
Add DPI support for statbar
Move heart+bubble bar to Lua HUD
Add statbar size (based upon an idea by blue42u)
Add support for customizing breath and statbar
On the lua side, notably minetest.env:<function>(<args>) should now
be replaced by minetest.<function>(<args>).
The old way is and will stay supported for a long time.
