Avoids unreachable code linter warning by moving generation code
(of minetest.conf.example and settings_translation_file.cpp)
out of dlg_settings_advanced.
Due to passing the settings, also it avoids reading the settings file twice.
Instead of activating the code by changing the active if-clauses,
its activation is now done by uncommenting the loadfile() statement.
core.check_player_privs accepts as first argument a name or player object, but just tested for a string.
This caused crashes inside builtin, when being passed any unexpected types.
This provides a better (duck-typing like) test, better error reporting.
Use the setting "profiler.load" to enable profiling.
Other settings can be found in settingtypes.txt.
* /profiler print [filter] - report statistics to in-game console
* /profiler dump [filter] - report statistics to STDOUT and debug.txt
* /profiler save [format [filter]] - saves statistics to a file in your worldpath
* txt (default) - same treetable format as used by the dump and print commands
* csv - ready for spreadsheet import
* json - useful for adhoc D3 visualizations
* json_pretty - line wrapped and intended json for humans
* lua - serialized lua table of the profile-data, for adhoc scripts
* /profiler reset - reset all gathered profile data.
This can be helpful to discard of any startup measurements that often spike during loading or to get more useful min-values.
[filter] allows limiting the output of the data via substring/pattern matching against the modname.
Note: Serialized data structures might be subject to change with changed or added measurements.
csv might be the most stable, due to flat structure.
Changes to the previous version include:
* Updated and extended API monitoring
* Correct calculation of average (mean) values (undistorted by idleness)
* Reduce instrumentation overhead.
* Fix crashes related to missing parameters for the future and occasional DIV/0's.
* Prevent issues caused by timetravel (overflow, timejump, NTP corrections)
* Prevent modname clashes with internal names.
* Measure each instrumentation individually and label based on registration order.
* Labeling of ABM's and LBM's for easier classification.
Giving several ABM's or LBM's the same label will treat them as one.
Missing labels will be autogenerated based on name or registration order.
* Configurable instrumentation and reporting. Skip e.g. builtin if you don't need it.
* Profile the profiler to measure instrumentation overhead.
It seems that various different devices register as
Joysticks on linux, and their presence has caused
lots of confusion amongst minetest users.
Therefore, disable the joystick feature.

This allows a nodedef to specify a fixed value for param2 to be
used for all normal placements.
There are several uses for this:
- nodes that require param2 to be set to a non-zero value for
internal mod use. E.g. leafdecay could use this to detect that
leaves are played by players.
- force wallmounted or facedir value at placement at placement
This overrides any player look direction or other on-the-fly
param2 setting during placement.
The change keys dialog can't be left. It doesn't make
much sense to show it on Android in the first place,
therefore disable it, just like commit
aed70cb0b652d6cb2272e7b94cd56671b3df6239 'Disable sound and key binding settings in "pause" menu on android'
has disabled it for the esc menu.
Fixes#4115.
This seems very little cost and matches the old behavior more
closely. This will cause some more falling nodes to get added
to falling clusters. With the efficiency of the algorithm, this
really doesn't do much damage.
@SmallJoker has noted a bug that servers from the (local) main menu
favorites list can't be opened.
This commit fixes the bug by disabling any main menu based protocol
checks for servers from the favorite list.
Also, it fixes a second bug that happens when a server from the
public serverlist doesn't send its supported protocol versions,
most likely because its running a minetest older than commit [1].
Then we have shown an error msg that the server has enforced
one specific protocol version. This was most likely not the case.
Of course, we can't do anything better than do an assumption on
the protocol versions if they are not known. That assumption
should however be closest to the most often occuring case as
possible.
Also, some little cleanups.

This took me a while to figure out. We no longer visit all 9 block
around and with the touched node, but instead visit adjacent plus
self. We then walk -non- recursively through all neigbors and if
they cause a nodeupdate, we just keep walking until it ends. On
the way back we prune the tail.
I've tested this with 8000+ sand nodes. Video result is here:

Took ~ 10 seconds to process and return to normal.

ABM's are hardcoded to run every 1.0s, NodeTimers are hard coded to
run at every 1.0s. Block mgmt is running every 2.0sec.
However, these timers can be better tuned for both higher and lower
values by server owners. Some server owners want to, and have the
resources to send more packets per second to clients, and so they
may wish to send smaller updates sooner. Right now all ABM's are
coalesced into 1.0 second intervals, resulting in large send queues
to all clients. By reducing the amount of possible timers, one can
get a far better response rate and lower the perception of lag.
On the other side of the camp, some servers may want to increase
these values, which again isn't easily doable.
The global settings abm_interval and nodetimer_interval are set to
current values by default. I've tested with 0.2/0.5 type values
and noticed a greatly improved response and better scattering of
nodetimers, as well as enjoying not faceplanting into doors with
pressure plates anymore.
The legacy init packet (pre v25) sends information about the client's
password that a server could use to log in to other servers if the
username and password are the same. All the other benefits of SRP of
protocol v25 are missed if the legacy init packet is still sent during
connection creation.
This patch adds an option to not send the v25 init packet. Not sending
the v25 packet means breaking compat with pre v25 servers, but as the
option is not enabled by default, no servers are affected unless the
user explicitly flips the switch. More than 90% of the servers on the
serverlist support post v25 protocols.
The patch also fixes a bug with greying out of non compliant servers
being done wrongly, the min and max params were mixed.
This privilege allows map protection bypassing for server operators
and world moderators.
Initially I had thought that bypassing protection mods would have been
something that could entirely be done inside mods and minetest_game,
but the concept of protection is defined in core, in the code of
core.is_protected().
I don't feel that it would be logical to introduce a protection
concept in core, but not some way around that for server operators
to maintain map parts that need fixing, de-griefing or cleanup.
Others had noticed the same problems, and proposed a patch to
minetest_game. That patch is fine by itself, but it fails to add
protection bypass functionality for digging normal nodes and placing
nodes.
So, instead, we indroduce the new priv "protection_bypass" in core,
and modify 'on_place_node' and 'node_dig' to allow bypassing node
protections if the player holds this priv.
This priv was tested with protector redo by tenplus1.
A followup patch to Minetest Game will include allowing special checks
for doors, trapdoors, chests in Minetest Game.
Protection mods will likely want to mimic the changes in their relevant
code sections.
I've written several experimental bits of code that revolve around the
need for a consistent calendar, but implementing one is extremely hard
in mods due to time changes and mods overriding core.get_timeofday(),
which will conflict.
The second part of the problem is that doing this from a mod requires
constant maintenance of a settings file.
An implementation in core is trivial, however, and solves all of
these problems at virtually no cost: No extra branches in server
steps, and a single branch when minetest.set_time_of_day(), which is
entirely reasonable.
We store the day_count value in env_meta.txt.
The use case is obvious: This change allows mods to create an actual
virtual calendar, or properly account for seasonal changes, etc..
We add a "/days" chatcommand that displays the current day count. No
permissions are needed. It can only retrieve the day count, not
modify it.
This allows mods to perform both asynchronous and synchronous HTTP
requests. Mods are only granted access to HTTP APIs if either mod
security is disabled or if they are whitelisted in any of the
the secure.http_mods and secure.trusted_mods settings.
Adds httpfetch_caller_alloc_secure to generate random, non-predictable
caller IDs so that lua mods cannot spy on each others HTTP queries.
This makes the functions a bit faster since they don't
have to recreate the tables every invocation, and makes
the code more readable.
Also, document `wallmounted_to_dir`.
The function was implemented but not documented in `lua_api.txt`.
The engine implementation of `print` packs the varargs into a
table and passes the table directly to `table.concat`. If you
pass any value not supported by `table.concat` (particularly
`nil`), the server crashes. This is unexpected behavior, as
`print` is supposed to be able to work with anything.
This patch changes the implementation so it first converts
all arguments using `tostring`, which fixes the issue and
makes the custom `print` function compatible with the stock
Lua behavior.
Replace simple caves with V5 caves, adding unpredictable water and lava
settings and massive caves based on subterrain. Remove fast terrain mode
and accompanying settings. Remove superfluous temperature/humidity
settings. Remove lava/water height setting. Fix errors in humidity
handling and remove humidity_break_point setting. Move cave noises to
generateCaves. Fix minor formatting/naming issues and use
MYMAX/MYMIN/myround.
I could honestly not make much sense of the timer implementation
that was here. Instead I've implemented the type of timer algorithm
that I've used before, and tested it instead.
The concept is extremely simple: all timers are put in an ordered
list. We check every server tick if any of the timers have
elapsed, and execute the function associated with this timer.
We know that many timers by themselves cause new timers to be
added to this list, so we iterate *backwards* over the timer
list. This means that new timers being added while timers are
being executed, can never be executed in the same function pass,
as they are always appended to the table *after* the end of
the table, which we will never reach in the current pass over
all the table elements.
We switch time keeping to minetest.get_us_time(). dtime is
likely unreliable and we have our own high-res timer that we
can fix if it is indeed broken. This removes the need to do
any sort of time keeping.
The save button is now fully functional again when an error message
is shown.
After an invalid value is entered in the settings tab dialog, the GUI
label for the error message that is shown was partly overlapping the
'save' button, so that the top half of the button could not be clicked
on.
Changes:
- Accept setting an empty flags-type value in the settings tab
if the variable specification permits it
- Don't accept substrings of flag values
E.g. with values: 'one,two,three', 'hree', 'w', etc. used to
be accepted. Not any more
- Don't accept flags with random pattern-matching special characters
E.g. with values: 'one,two,three', 'on.', '(o)[n]e*' etc. used
to be accepted. Not any more.
- Accept numbers prefixed with '+'
- Accept multiple spaces instead of just a single one where spaces are expected
- Allow flags to have an empty default value
The pageflip mode requires a stereo quadbuffer, and a modern graphic
card. Patch tested with NVidia 3D Vision.
The mini-map is not drawn, but that's what is done for topbottom and
sidebyside modes as well.
Also most of the time the user would prefer the HUD to be off. That's
for the user to decide though, and toggle it manually.
Finally, the interocular distance (aka eye separation) is twice as much
as the "3d_paralax_strength" settings. I find this a strange design
decision. I didn't want to chance this though, since it's how the other
3d modes interpret this settings.

This adds a chat console the server owner can use for administration
or to talk with players.
It runs in its own thread, which makes the user interface immune to
the server's lag, behaving just like a client, except timeout.
As it uses the same console code as the f10 console, things like nick
completion or a scroll buffer basically come for free.
The terminal itself is written in a general way so that adding a
client version later on is just about implementing an interface.
Fatal errors are printed after the console exists and the ncurses
terminal buffer gets cleaned up with endwin(), so that the error still
remains visible.
The server owner can chose their username their entered text will
have in chat and where players can send PMs to.
Once the username is secured with a password to prevent anybody to
take over the server, the owner can execute admin tasks over the
console.
This change includes a contribution by @kahrl who has improved ncurses
library detection.

* Add flags type
* Add input validation for int, float and flags
* Break in-game graphic settings into multiple sections

The callback can now be invoked with either the player object or name as
the first parameter, and with either a table or a list of strings, like
this:
minetest.check_player_privs(player_name, { shout = true, fly = true })
minetest.check_player_privs(player_name, "shout", "fly")
minetest.check_player_privs(player, { shout = true, fly = true })
minetest.check_player_privs(player, "shout", "fly")
According to its man page, the function gettext(3)
"may return a nonempty string" when msgid is "".
This commit fixes a bug where the comment ""

po file.
- Add warning log level
- Change debug_log_level setting to enumeration string
- Map Irrlicht log events to MT log events
- Encapsulate log_* functions and global variables into a class, Logger
- Unify dstream with standard logging mechanism
- Unify core.debug() with standard core.log() script API
1. Check for entity addition success in spawn_item implementation
2. Check for success in item_drop callback, so that the player
doesn't lose the item if they are outside bounds and try to drop it.
3. When existing player joins game, check that their position is inside
map bounds. If not, set their position to the return value of findSpawnPos().
4. Make findSpawnPos() respect the border
2 fixes a lua crash if a player drops an item outside map bounds.
3 fixes an assertion crash if a player leaves when being outside map bounds,
and then rejoins.
The Irrlicht engine supports antialiasing, and Minetest already supports
saving an antialiasing setting in its configuration file. However,
Minetest lacked UI elements to set this setting, and previously the only
way to enable the feature was by hand-editing the configuration file.
Add a drop-down menu that can enable antialiasing.
Change the name for texture pack description files from "info.txt" to "description.txt" in order to keep the naming consistent between description files for both mods and texture packs.
Also add backwards compatibility for texture packs that use "info.txt", and note in the log that "info.txt" is depreciated.
On calling clear_redistered_biomes the registered_biomes table is cleared
by creating a new empty table, but the pointer is not updated to point to
the new one. So after calling more register_biome, the registered_biome
table always contains 0 items, which is an error. Instead, the table is
cleared by removing all its items so the pointer (minetest.registered_*)
remains valid.
Client now informs about incompatible servers from the list, this permits to prevent the protocol movements.

Changes:
* Indentation with tabs by default.
* Array keys dumped without "[i] = " prefix.
* String keys that are valid identifiers aren't enclosed in '[""]'.
* Basic support for multiple references (as specified in the comment).
Config settings:
profiling = true/false (gather statistics)
detailed_profiling = true/false (break mod times to callbacks)
Chat commands:
save_mod_profile saves current statistics in debug.txt and shows on console (on default loglevel)
There have been plenty of ppl involved in creating this version.
I don't wanna mention names as I'm sure I'd forget someone so I
just tell where help has been done:
- The partial android versions done by various ppl
- Testing on different android devices
- reviewing code (especially the in core changes)
- testing controls
- reviewing texts
A big thank you to everyone helping this to be completed!
Changes:
* Add comments to explain the dumping code
* Add support for dumping values of any type (as '<' <type> '>')
* Add support for tables as keys in dump2()
* Make dump2() return it's result (like dump()) rather than printing it
* Simplify and optimize function serialization via serialize()
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
This makes a number of changes:
* Remove the dependency on marshal by using string.dump and loadstring.
* Use lua_tolstring rather than having Lua functions pass string lengths to C++.
* Move lua_api/l_async_events.* to cpp_api/s_async.*, where it belongs.
* Make AsyncWorkerThread a child of ScriptApiBase, this removes some duplicate functionality.
* Don't wait for async threads to shut down. (Is this safe? Might result in corruption if the thread is writing to a file.)
* Pop more unused items from the stack
* Code style fixes
* Other misc changes
This reverts commit 5b518ed2feff28c9bf21ad940c1b211b72d71bd1.
This caused duplicate tracebacks and tracebacks when unwanted.
It also ignored the level argument to error() and didn't pass the message (or level) to debug.traceback().
Use xpcall() or lua_pcall()'s errorhandler argument instead.
