Avoid crash in some situations when player is inside a node, causing
'above' to equal 'under'.
In this situation return 'under' which is the node position very close
to the face position that would normally be returned.
Add a new point to encourage discussion before coding. Move the 'ask
before significant coding' suggestion into this.
Edit and extend commit message guidelines. Refer to core dev commit
messages as good examples.
Remove 'short' and 'briefly' from the description guideline to try to
improve description quality.
Larger text for '### A pull-request is considered ..'.
Add a second roadmap link to celeron55's blog roadmap which is the 1st
part of the forum roadmap.
Add full stops to lists.
Consistent text size for '## Donations'.
* g_extrusion_mesh_cache new() and grab() to be managed in constuctor only (#7235 partial)
This global was getting grab()-ed by each call to getItemMesh, incrementing its reference count. What was to be the final drop() in the destructor ended up with > 0 reference count, so memory not freed by Irrlicht.
Previously, caverns confused tunnel generation causing biome top and filler
nodes to appear in caverns.
Split 'generateCaves()' into 2 functions to separate tunnel and large
randomwalk cave generation.
In each mapgen re-order cave generation to generate tunnels before caverns.
Split some long lines.
Edit comments.
Remove unnecessary comments and unnecessary commented-out code.
Use std::fmax/fmin instead of MYMAX/MYMIN.
Remove scope-limiting braces.
Consistently define literals as floats, except in noise parameters.
Cleanup literals in noise parameters.
Remove unnecessary 'near_cavern' line.
Reduce max spawn y to be consistent with other mapgens.
Caverns first appeared in mgvalleys and were later added to other
mapgens as shared code. Now this shared code can replace mgvalley's
internal cavern code.
Also use shared tunnel code instead of internal code.
Changes to mapgen that will affect existing worlds (mgvalleys is not
stable):
Single lava and water sources not added in tunnels.
Previous caverns are unchanged but an equal number of new ones are
added at a distance from the previous.
From y = -256 to 192 nodes below, where the caverns taper at their
upper limit, they will have a slightly different shape as the taper
is now linear.
Instead of calling g_settings->getBool("flag") multiple times
during each movement step, the current settings are cached
in a new player object member. Updated via registered callbacks.
* Android: Add zoom, minimap, and toggle chat button
Zoom button is put above jump button.
Minimap and toggle chat button are put in settings bar.
* Jump button is rotated down button
* Move three buttons on the right screen higher
Fix elusive 5 year old bug that caused mgvalleys large caves to be flat and
limited to mapchunk borders.
Error was fixed 2 years ago in 'CavesV6' but not in 'CavesRandomWalk'.
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
