Cache size is configurable by the meshgen_block_cache_size (default 20 MB).
New profiler stats:
- MeshUpdateQueue MapBlock cache hit %
- MeshUpdateQueue MapBlock cache size kB
Removes one type of stutter that was seen on the client when received MapBlocks
were being handled. (the "MeshMakeData::fill" stutter)
Kind of related to at least #5239
Originally preceded by these commits, now includes them:
- Move the mesh generator thread into src/mesh_generator_thread.{cpp,h}
- mesh_generator_thread.cpp: Update code style
- MeshUpdateThread: Modify interface to house a different implementation: Actual functionality will be changed by next commits.
- MeshMakeData: Add fillBlockData() interface (so that caller can fill in stuff from eg. a MapBlock cache)
The setting limits map generation but affects nothing else.
Add 'mapgen_limit' to global mapgen parameters.
Move 'blockpos_over_mapgen_limit()' to the only place it is called
from: map.cpp.
Allow teleportation to any part of the world even if over the set
mapgen limit.
Simplify the reading of this limit in mgvalleys.
Remove the 'map_generation_limit' setting.
The previous implementation applied the setting to blockpos_over_limit(),
objectpos_over_limit() and in createSector(), causing many bugs near the
world edge.
First revert the previous implementation.
Rename blockpos_over_limit() to blockpos_over_max_limit() for clarity.
Add a new function to mapblock.h called blockpos_over_mapgen_limit() that
checks against the map_generation_limit setting, and call this only from
the code that decides where mapgen stops.
Use MAX_MAP_GENERATION_LIMIT in objectpos_over_limit() to reduce the
chance of bugs, there is no need to use map_generation_limit here.
Reduce the object limit by mapblock size, to avoid objects being
added just inside the map generation limit but in a block and sector
that extend beyond the map generation limit.
Change notification of 'objectpos over limit' from red in-chat ERROR
to in-terminal only WARNING, since this will happen often using mob
mods near the world's edge.
Fix the maths that check if any part of a mapblock or sector is over the
set map_generation_limit.
Therefore avoid the loading of any over-limit blocks that were previously
generated when map_generation_limit was larger. The set limit can vary
for a world because it is not yet a per-world mapgen parameter, even when
it is sometimes it will be changed deliberately.
Therefore avoid a player being returned to world centre if they re-enter
a world while being over-limit.
Fix the createSector() crash caused by a mob spawning over-limit in an
over-limit mapblock
Entity positions are serialized as F1000. Disallow placing
entities outside safe borders with the minetest.add_entity
call.
Note that this patch only enforces those boundaries for
placing entities, moving entities that move outside boundaries
aren't affected.
Thanks to @nanepiwo for pointing this out.
1. Do two renames:
* SER_FMT_CLIENT_VER_LOWEST -> SER_FMT_VER_LOWEST_WRITE
* SER_FMT_VER_LOWEST -> SER_FMT_VER_LOWEST_READ
Now the two define values are consistently named with the _WRITE defines
SER_FMT_VER_{HIGHEST,LOWEST}_WRITE, and to better point out what the two
serialisation versions actually are for.
2. wrap some lines in doc/worldformat.txt, and point out that the node
timers are serialized at a later point, as this can cause confusion about
what now happens (if one doesn't strictly read the if block's conditions).
3. some whitespace fixes in NodeTimerList::serialize, and one new comment.
Spare direct multoplication, use constant MapBlock::nodecount instead of
local nodecount variables.
Also use strides at one place instead of multiplications.
When SER_FMT_VER_LOWEST is set to zero, then the test is stupid in INIT because all client works. In mapblock we check if client's serialization version is < 24, but if client sent serialization version < 24 (15 for example) the server set it and tried to send nodes, then BOOM
To resolve the problem:
* Create a different CLIENT_MIN_VERSION to handle this problem
* Remove the exception
* Use an assert in case of bad developer code
Change must_reflow to a deque
Add overload for MapBlock::raiseModified that takes a const char*. This is a speed improvement.
Comment out unused variable
Optimisations to block offset calculations
- Node placement code moved to Lua
- Mineral system removed (added default:stone_with_coal and default:stone_with_iron).
- MapBlock and MapNode serialization updated.
- Mapgen: Frequency of iron increased.
- node_dig callback and related changes.
