* [CSM] Add flavour limits controlled by server
Server send flavour limits to client permitting to disable or limit some Lua calls
* Add limits for reading nodedefs and itemdefs
* flavour: Add lookup node limits
* Merge get_node_or_nil into get_node.
Sending fake node doesn't make sense in CSM, just return nil if node is not available for any reason
* Add node range customization when noderange flavour is enabled (default 8 nodes)
* Limit nodes range & disable chat message sending by default
* Bump protocol version
Add 'biome_zero_level' argument to 'generateBiomes()', 'deco_zero_level'
argument to 'placeAllDecos()' and 'ore_zero_level' to 'placeAllOres()'
to allow mapgens to vertically shift the registered biomes, decorations
and ores per-mapchunk.
Will also allow many realm possibilities in future mapgens.
Useful for underwater plants.
Node consists of a base cube plus a plantlike extension that can pass through
liquid nodes above without creating air bubbles or interfering with liquid flow.
Uses paramtype2 'leveled', param2 defines height of plantlike extension.
This commit introduces Raycast, a Lua user object, which can be
used to perform a raycast on the map. The ray is continuable, so one can
also get hidden nodes (for example to see trough glass).
The 'absheight' flag was added years ago for the floatlands of 'indev'
mapgen (now deleted). The feature mirrored all ore placement around y = 0
to place ores in floatlands.
In MTG we now use dedicated ore registrations for floatlands.
The feature is crude, inflexible, problematic and very rarely used, it
also makes ore vertical range code more complex.
Minetest 0.5 is a good chance to remove the feature.
The flag itself remains to not break flag values.

Fix#5709
Recent commit b6f4a9c7e1a4f0bac66fd6f6ff844425ac775975 removed a hardcoded
player collisionbox which resulted on falling back to an incorrect default.
This stopped players walking through 2-node high spaces and made the player
slightly wider.
Improve docs for custom player collisionbox feature and reformat nearby lines.
This unifies the settings APIs.
This also unifies the sync and async registration APIs, since the async
registration API did not support adding non-functions to the API table.
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).
Torches are dug instantly again.
When the digging time is 0, a delay of 0.15 seconds is added between digging nodes. If the left mouse button is released, the delay is set to 0, thus click-digging.
We introduce a new value for "waving" - 2:
0 - waving disabled
1 - wave like a plant
2 - wave like a leave
Plantlike nodes will only allow waving = 1, but for leaves we will
permit both 1 and 2 since current minetest_game sets it to 1 for
all leaves. This makes it somewhat backwards compatible.
For mesh and nodebox, values 1 and 2 are both valid, and the node
can wave in both fashions as desired.
I've tested this with the crops:corn plants, which are mesh nodes,
and the results are really good. The code change is trivial as
well, so I've opted to document the waving parameter in lua_api.txt
because it was missing from there.
Nodeboxes likely will not wave properly unless waving = 2. However
it's possible that waving=1 may be desired by some mod developers
for geometries I have not tried, so the code will not prohibit
either value for mesh and nodebox drawtypes.
Add lua_api.txt documentation for this feature and document both
the existing functionality and the expansion to mesh and nodebox
drawtypes.
* Fix incorrect formspec tooltip documentation
* Improve `floodable` and `on_flood` documentation.
The original documentation did not specify that liquids should not themselves be floodable. This is probably something that should be mentioned.
* Player data to Database
Add player data into databases (SQLite3 & PG only)
PostgreSQL & SQLite: better POO Design for databases
Add --migrate-players argument to server + deprecation warning
* Remove players directory if empty
The 'sneak glitch' physics override now controls whether a player can
use the new move code replications of the old sneak side-effects:
sneak ladders and 2 node sneak jump. This completes our intention to
replicate the old sneak side-effects in new code and provide them as
an option that is disabled by default.
This callback is called if a liquid definitely floods a non-air
node on the map. The callback arguments are (pos, oldnode, newnode)
and can return a `bool` value indicating whether flooding the
node should be cancelled (`return true` will prevent the node
from flooding).
Documentation is added, the callback function was tested with a
modified minetest_game.
Note that `return true` will likely cause the node's `on_flood()`
callback to be called every second until the node gets removed,
so care must be taken to prevent many callbacks from using this
return value. The current default liquid update interval is 1.0
seconds, which isn't unmanageable.
The larger aim of this patch is to remove the lava cooling ABM,
which is a significant cost to idle servers that have lava on their
map. This callback will be much more efficient.
This is not really different from the light update of a voxel
manipulator. This update does not assume that the lighting was correct
before, therefore it is useful for correction.
Also expose this function to the Lua API for light correction, and
allow voxel manipulators not to update the light.
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.
* [CSM] Add function to set minimap shape
Also deprecates `toggle_shape`.
* Oh fish, I messed that one up!
* Fix Style
* Sorry, I missed something
I still had the `luamethod` call in there!
* Add getters
* Remove extra line
* Remove useless variable
Please review again @nerzhul . Thanks!
* Satisfy nerzhul
Adds the possibility to colorize item stacks based on their metadata.
In the item/node definition you can specify palette (an image file)
and color (fallback color if the item has no palette or metadata).
Then you can add palette_index to the metadata.
Dropped itemstacks with different colors do not merge.
Add the missing paramtype2 for param2 controlling the liquid level
inside the glasslike_framed drawtype.
Add missing documentation of the feature to lua_api.txt.
Update and improve comments for drawtype enumerations in nodedef.h.
* squashed: CSM: Implement register_globalstep
* Re-use fatal error mechanism from server to disconnect client on CSM error
* Little client functions cleanups
* squashed: CSM: add core.after function
* core.after is shared code between client & server
* ModApiUtil get_us_time feature enabled for client
This commit introduces a new bulk node lighting algorithm to minimize
lighting bugs during l-system tree generation, schematic placement and
non-mapgen-object lua voxelmanip light calculation.
If the block above the changed area is not loaded, it gets loaded to avoid
lighting bugs.
Light is updated as soon as write_to_map is called on a voxel manipulator,
therefore update_map does nothing.
* mod can create a ModMetadata object where store its values and retrieve it.
* Modmetadata object can only be fetched at mod loading
* Save when modified using same time as map interval or at server stop
* add helper function to get mod storage path
* ModMetadata has exactly same calls than all every other Metadata
* 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).
- Increase ContentFeatures serialization version
- Color property and palettes for nodes
- paramtype2 = "color", "colored facedir" or "colored wallmounted"
Introduces two functions to unregister and override chatcommands.
minetest.unregister_chatcommand("<name>") and
minetest.override_chatcommand("<name>", {<redifinition>})
"[sheet:WxH:X,Y" assumes the base image is a tilesheet with W*H tiles
on it and crops to the tile at position X,Y. Basically it works
like "[verticalframe" but in 2D.
For testing, I combined the four default_chest images into one.
* Calculate maximum interact distance from wielded tool
* New "interacted_while_dead" cheat_type for the Lua API
* Disallow dropping items while dead
* Move player to spawn before resurrecting them
Schematics can already be placed with a param2 value, but not
simple 1-node plant decorations of the simple type.
This adds a `param2` field to the simple deco type that is
checked to be between 0 and 255, and put to the placed node
at mapgen.
This can be used to put a degrotate value in, or e.g. a fill
value for leveltype nodes, or a place_param2 value at mapgen
placement, or vary the shape of meshoptions plantlike drawtype.
This combats the problem of sending the hundreds of
"creative" / "armor" or whatever detached invs that
exist on popular servers to each and every player
on join or on change of said invs.
Position, velocity and acceleration vectors of particles are rotated
by the yaw of the parent object so that they are truly relative to it.
Clarify new attached particle spawner behavior in lua_api.txt.
If a tool wears out and is destroyed, it's itemstack count
goes to 0, and we can optionally play a breaking sound.
This patch implements playing a breaking sound when this
occurs. Sounds need to be added to the tool itemdef
registration as the sound name string in the .sound.breaks
member.
Custom (non-engine) field names of items and entities are allowed.
This is now documented in lua_api.txt. Field names beginning with
an underscore are now reserved for mod use, the engine must not
introduce any fields beginning with an underscore.
Now, the renamed forms of nodeupdate and nodeupdate_single are part of the official API.
As nodeupdate has been used by Minetest Game and in mods despite of not
being part of the official API, we ease the transition by still supporting
it for the 0.4.15 release. After the release, the two functions can be removed.
The removal will not violate the stability promise, as that promise only
includes the official and documented API.
Also, make some formerly global functions local. They most likely haven't
been used by mods, therefore they won't get stubs with deprecation warnings,
hard erroring directly.
Add missing documentation for 'register_biome' and
'clear_registered_biomes'.
Add documentation for 'nodeupdate_single'. 'nodeupdate'
is not yet documented due to a bug it causes.
Add 'core.LIGHT_MAX = 14' to builtin/game/constants.lua with the intention
to replace misplaced 'default.LIGHT_MAX = 14' in Minetest Game.
Add comment in light.h requiring the constant be changed in both places.
Add lighting bug warning to note in lua_api.txt.
There are hundreds of mod uses of 15 which causes a lighting bug.
Inverts the given channels of the base image.
Mode may contain the characters "r", "g", "b", "a".
Only the channels that are mentioned in the mode string will be inverted.
Adds several new ways that the plantlike drawtype mesh can be changed.
This requires paramtype2 = "meshoptions" to be set in the node
definition. The drawtype for these nodes should be "plantlike".
These modifications are all done using param2. This field is now
a complex bitfield that allows some or more of the combinations to
be chosen, and the mesh draw code will choose the options based as
neeeded for each plantlike node.
bit layout:
bits 0, 1 and 2 (values 0x1 through 0x7) are for choosing the plant
mesh shape:
0 - ordinary plantlike plant ("x" shaped)
1 - ordinary plant, but rotated 45 degrees ("+" shaped)
2 - a plant with 3 faces ("*" shaped)
3 - a plant with 4 faces ("#" shaped)
4 - a plant with 4 faces ("#" shaped, leaning outwards)
5 through 7 are unused and reserved for future mesh shapes.
bit 3 (0x8) causes the plant to be randomly offset in the x,z
plane. The plant should fall within the 1x1x1 nodebox if regularly
sized.
bit 4 (0x10) causes the plant mesh to grow by sqrt(2), and will cause
the plant mesh to fill out 1x1x1, and appear slightly larger. Texture
makers will want to make their plant texture 23x16 pixels to have the
best visual fit in 1x1x1 size.
bit 5 (0x20) causes each face of the plant to have a slight negative
Y offset in position, descending up to 0.125 downwards into the node
below. Because this is per face, this causes the plant model to be
less symmetric.
bit 6 (0x40) through bit 7 (0x80) are unused and reserved for
future use.

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.
This commit refactors the majority of the Mapgen settings system.
- MapgenParams is now owned by MapSettingsManager, itself a part of ServerMap,
instead of the EmergeManager.
- New Script API functions added:
core.get_mapgen_setting
core.get_mapgen_setting_noiseparams,
core.set_mapgen_setting, and
core.set_mapgen_setting_noiseparams.
- minetest.get/set_mapgen_params are deprecated by the above new functions.
- It is now possible to view and modify any arbitrary mapgen setting from a mod,
rather than the base MapgenParams structure.
- MapgenSpecificParams has been removed.
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.
Mgvalleys: Remove riverbed sand placement from base terrain generation
Riverbed material placement moved to MapgenBasic::generateBiomes()
Document fields and add note that the biome API is still unstable
Gives a convenient way to check a player's password.
This entirely bypasses the SRP protocol, so should be used
with great care.
This function is not intended to be used
in-game, but solely by external protocols, where no
authentication of the minetest engine is provided, and
also only for protocols, in which the user already gives the
server the plaintext password.
Examples for good use are the classical http form, or irc,
an example for a bad use is a password change dialog inside
formspec.
Users should be aware that they lose the advantages of the SRP
protocol if they enter their passwords for servers outside the
normal entry box, like in in-game formspec menus,
or through irc /msg s,
This patch also fixes an auth.h mistake which has mixed up the
order of params inside the decode_srp_verifier_and_salt function.
Zeno-: Added errorstream message for invalid format when I committed
Adds the particle option `collision_removal = bool`
Some particles are hard to use right now since they either go through
solid blocks (without collision detection), and with collision
detection enabled they (e.g. raindrops) would just stop dead on the
floor and sit there until they expire, or worse, scrape along a wall
or ceiling.
We can solve the problem by adding a boolean flag that tells the
particle to be removed if it ever collides with something. This will
make it easier to add rain that doesn't fall through your roof or stick
on the top of it. Or clouds and smoke that don't go through trees.
Particles that collide with this flag are marked expired
unconditionally, causing them to be treated like normal expired
particles and cleaned up normally.
Documentation is adjusted accordingly.
An added bonus of this patch is that particles can potentially collide
many times with nodes, and this reduces the amount of collisions to 1
(max), which may end up reducing particle load on the client.
Document hpchange callback ordering thing
Callbacks registered by register_on_player_hpchange are ordered so that non-modifiers are called after modifiers are called. Credit to @TeTpaAka who mentioned this previously-undocumented feature in #3799.

NDT_CONNECTED attempts to connect to any side of nodes that it can
connect to, which is troublesome for FACEDIR type nodes that generally
may only have one usable face, and can be rotated.
We introduce a node parameter `connect_sides` that is valid for
any node type. If specified, it lists faces of the node (in "top",
"bottom", "front", "left", "back", "right", form, as array) that
connecting nodeboxes can connect to. "front" corresponds to the south
facing side of a node with facedir = 0.
If the node is rotatable using *simple* FACEDIR, then the attached
face is properly rotated before checking. This allows e.g. a chest
to be attached to only from the rear side.
We introduce a new nodebox type "connected", and allow these nodes to
have optional nodeboxes that connect it to other connecting nodeboxes.
This is all done at scenedraw time in the client. The client will
inspect the surrounding nodes and if they are to be connected to,
it will draw the appropriate connecting nodeboxes to make those
connections.
In the node_box definition, we have to specify separate nodeboxes for
each valid connection. This allows us to make nodes that connect only
horizontally (the common case) by providing optional nodeboxes for +x,
-x, +z, -z directions. Or this allows us to make wires that can connect
up and down, by providing nodeboxes that connect it up and down (+y,
-y) as well.
The optional nodeboxes can be arrays. They are named "connect_top,
"connect_bottom", "connect_front", "connect_left", "connect_back" and
"connect_right". Here, "front" means the south facing side of the node
that has facedir = 0.
Additionally, a "fixed" nodebox list present will always be drawn,
so one can make a central post, for instance. This "fixed" nodebox
can be omitted, or it can be an array of nodeboxes.
Collision boxes are also updated in exactly the same fashion, which
allows you to walk over the upper extremities of the individual
node boxes, or stand really close to them. You can also walk up
node noxes that are small in height, all as expected, and unlike the
NDT_FENCELIKE nodes.
I've posted a screenshot demonstrating the flexibility at
http://i.imgur.com/zaJq8jo.png
In the screenshot, all connecting nodes are of this new subtype.
Transparent textures render incorrectly, Which I don't think is
related to this text, as other nodeboxes also have issues with this.
A protocol bump is performed in order to be able to send older clients
a nodeblock that is usable for them. In order to avoid abuse of users
we send older clients a "full-size" node, so that it's impossible for
them to try and walk through a fence or wall that's created in this
fashion. This was tested with a pre-bump client connected against a
server running the new protocol.
These nodes connect to other nodes, and you can select which ones
those are by specifying node names (or group names) in the
connects_to string array:
connects_to = { "group:fence", "default:wood" }
By default, nodes do not connect to anything, allowing you to create
nodes that always have to be paired in order to connect. lua_api.txt
is updated to reflect the extension to the node_box API.
Example lua code needed to generate these nodes can be found here:
https://gist.github.com/sofar/b381c8c192c8e53e6062
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.
Fixed a minor mistake that made it appear as if the inventory
is serialized multiple times - once per each variable. In fact
it is serialized once per each node.
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.
Previously you could steal a secure environment from a trusted mod by wrapping
request_insecure_environment with some code like this:
local rie_cp = minetest.request_insecure_environment
local stolen_ie
function minetest.request_insecure_environment()
local ie = rie_cp()
stolen_ie = stolen_ie or ie
return ie
end
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`.
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.
clock_gettime() is a far better clock than gettimeofday().
Even better than clock_gettime() is that you can select either
CLOCK_MONOTONIC, or even CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW. These clocks offer
high precision time. And the _RAW variant will never roll back
due to NTP drift or daylight savings, or otherwise.
I've adjusted this code to select the right clock method auto-
matically based on what's available in the OS. This means that
if you're running a very old linux version, MacOS or other,
you will automatically get the best clocksource available.
I've tested all Linux clocksources by selectively compiling and
running a 10k+ timer test suite. In all cases I confirmed that
the 3 POSIX Linux clocksources worked properly, and were
selected properly.
I've modified the OS X compile path to use the high-res clock
source for all time functions, but I can't confirm it works or
that it compiles.
As for WIN32, I confirmed that the used clocksource is indeed
a Monotonic clocksource, so good news: that code section appears
to be exactly what it should be.
Backface culling is enabled by default for all tiles, as this
is how the lua parser initializes each tiledef. We revert to
always using the value from the tiledef since it is always
read and serialized.
Mods that wish to enable culling for e.g. mesh nodes, now can
specify the following to enable backface culling:
tiles = {{ name = "tex.png", backface_culling = true }},
Note the double '{' and use of 'name' key here! In the same
fashion, backface_culling can be disabled for any node now.
I've tested this against the new door models and this properly
allows me to disable culling per node. I've also tested this
against my crops mod which uses mesh nodes where culling needs
to be disabled, and tested also with plantlike drawtype nodes
where we want this to continue to be disabled.
No default setting has changed. The defaults are just migrated
from nodedef.cpp to c_content.cpp.

Also add to LuaVoxelManip calc_lighting for use in mapgen mods
Remove the 2 argument calcLighting, mapgens now use the 5
argument form to specify the volumes for propagateSunlight and
spreadLight
In mgsinglenode replace calcLighting with setLighting and
clean-up use of tabs and spaces
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 key settings to setting table and ignore them later
This way they are added to the auto-generated minetest.conf.example
* Add flags type
* Add input validation for int, float and flags
* Break in-game graphic settings into multiple sections
* Parse settingtpes.txt in mods and games
* Improve description for a lot of settings
* Fix typos and wording in settingtypes.txt
* Convert language setting to an enum
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")
- 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
This might break some mods, but it is important for all uses of the param2 to
be documented.
This doesn't need a serialisation version or network protocol version change,
as old clients will still work on new servers, and it is bearable to have
new clients getting non rotated plants on old servers.
It returns the index used in mg->biomemap for a given biome name.
The biomemap is useless without this unless you re-register all existing biomes,
which could cause problems for anyone else trying to use biomemap.
With this, you can quickly create a lookup table of ids and names.
Because not all circles are round:
* circles using an euclidean metric are what we usually call "round"
* circles using a maximum metric look like euclidean rectangles with equal adjacent sides (squares)
* circles using a manhattan metric look like an euclidean right angled rhombus (squares, but 45° rotated to the former one)

Document the node metadata changes of the commit (serialisation version >=23):
704782c95b8a4194a9383da55d93f37fd0f7278f "WIP node metadata, node timers"
Fix regression since commit:
915807f8db1f3721ad9ffc00a4863ad940010c45 "Rename doc/mapformat.txt and update doc to match SRP changes"
And add an underscore to doc file name to make it more readable.
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.
The documentation file contains not just information about the
map itself, but also about further files inside the world's
directory.
Documentation didn't reflect recent SRP addition, now it does.
Modders are now able to select the range of ore column height,
and the midpoint at which they 'grow' starting from.
This commit adds three new parameters for the 'sheet' ore type:
column_height_min, column_height_max, and column_midpoint_factor.
clust_size is now deprecated for this ore type.
The neighbours checked are the 8 nodes horizontally surrounding the decoration base
and the 8 nodes horizontally surrounding the ground node below the decoration
Adds list-rings, a method to implement item sending between inventories via shift-click.
Nice insider feature: a ring consisting of a single inventory list serves as nice clean-up method.
Also adds them to minimal game, and the standard inventory.
Craft output slots are not supported.
This adds the ability to grab 'slices' of noise calculated by PerlinNoiseMap.
Retrieving smaller slices of noise from the computation result as needed
optimizes memory usage while maintaining a reasonable amount of CPU overhead.
NodeResolver name lists now belong to the NodeResolver object instead of
the associated NodeDefManager. In addition to minimizing unnecessary
abstraction and overhead, this move permits NodeResolvers to look up nodes
that they had previously set pending for resolution. So far, this
functionality has been used in the case of schematics for
serialization/deserialization.
- General code cleanup
- Unified object creation and loading
- Specifying objects in APIs is now orthogonal (i.e. anything can take an ID,
name string, or the raw table definition (and automatically registers if present
* Combine client and server man pages.
* Update unit test options and available databases in man page.
* Add `--worldname` to man page.
* Fix a bunch of places where `"Minetest"` was used directly instead of `PROJECT_NAME`.
* Disable server build by default on all operating systems.
* Make `ENABLE_FREETYPE` not fail if FreeType isn't found.
* Enable LevelDB, Redis, and FreeType detection by default.
* Remove the `VERSION_PATCH_ORIG` hack.
* Add option to search for and use system JSONCPP.
* Remove broken LuaJIT version detection.
* Rename `DISABLE_LUAJIT` to `ENABLE_LUAJIT`.
* Rename `minetest_*` variables in `version.{h,cpp}` to `g_*`.
* Clean up style of CMake files.
Client now informs about incompatible servers from the list, this permits to prevent the protocol movements.
Server announces its supported protocol versions to master server
Just Markdown, no variant of it. File name intentionally
not changed to “lua_api.md” because of fear to break references
to that file. The file can still be renamed later.
If CMake is run and Doxygen is found, add a make target called "doc",
which builds API documention in doc/html. This target is not included
in the default "all" target, you have to explicitly run "make doc" to
generate the documentation.
If graphviz is installed, in particular, if the "dot" binary is found,
doxygen is configured to generate various kinds of diagrams. Note that
due to this, the first run of doxygen can take a while.
Changes:
* Add extra documentation for remove_item.
This isn't as silly as it sounds: iterate a list containing items with
unique metadata each, and remove_item the first one you find, placing
into a different - fine, except the remove will invariably remove the
wrong one, leading to items being duplicated and others destroyed.
Arguably it's a bug, and Inventory::removeItem should actually remove
the item you tell it to. (i.e. if the passed ItemStack has metadata,
match it). But it seems reasonable to just document the behaviour
more clearly.
* Improve string_to_pos documentation.
* Clarify dig_node documentation (return value).
* Better on_step documentation.
* get_nodemeta -> get_meta.
* Other minor fixes.

Background
Wuzzy2: If you attempt to spawn a L-system tree with minetest.spawn_tree, you can make Minetest crash if it is attempted to pop an empty stack.
ShadowNinja: This shouldn't cause a segmentation fault, but it should throw a Lua error
Commit Description
This commit throws a Lua error instead of causing a segmentation fault. The server will still "crash" but will include a Lua backtrace.
L-Systems fix randomness
Unless a random seed is provided (via Lua treedef) seed the PRNG with a different seed for each tree
Resolves: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/1469
Fix l-system crash when treedef random_level not set by Lua
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!
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
Don't use TOSERVER_RECEIVED_MEDIA but TOSERVER_CLIENT_READY as indicatio for client ready
Handle clients with protocol version < 23 (almost) same way as before
Make client tell server about it's version
Add client state to not send bogus player position updates prior init complete
Add access to statistics information (peer connction time,rtt,version)
Fix clients standing stalled in world while preloading item visuals (new clients only)
Add get_player_information to read client specific information from lua
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.
Also:
Update and clean up lua_api.txt (by celeron55)
Move EnvRef to lua and remove add_rat and add_firefly (by kahrl)
Add separate src/util/CMakeLists.txt, other minor fixes (by kahrl)
Spawn single particles or make use of ParticleSpawner for many randomly spawned particles.
Accessible in Lua using minetest.spawn_particle and minetest.add_particlespawner.
Increase Protocol Version to 17.
Conflicts:
src/clientserver.h
Scripts can call minetest.register_on_shutdown() to register a
shutdown hook.
Document that minetest.register_on_shutdown() callbacks may not be run
If the server crashes, it is unlikely that callbacks registered using
minetest.register_on_shutdown() will be called.
Correct lua api version number
Always update animations and attachments after the entity is added to scene client side. Fixes animations not being applied in client initialization for some reason. Attachments should be re-tested now just to be safe.
Fix a segmentation fault caused by reaching materials that didn't exist in a loop for setting texture
No longer hide players who are dead. With models, a death animation should be used instead
Some changes requested by celeron55
Rename a lot of things in the code, and use better lua api function names
Minor code corrections
Bump protocol version up, since the models / animations / attachments code creates new client<->server messages
Fix the last segmentation fault (apparently). So far attachments seem to be fully functional, although removing the parent causes children to go to origin 0,0,0 and possibly still cause such a fault (though this should already be addressed)
Fix a bug in falling code where entities get stuck
Also check if the parent has been removed server-side, and detach the child if so. Fixes children going to origin 0,0,0 when their parent is removed.
Unset all attachment properties when permanently detaching (on both the client and server). Also store less data we don't need
Create a separate function for detaching, and also update lua api documentation
When a child is detached, update its position from the server to clients. This WILL cause it to get positioned slightly differently client side, as the server attachment system only copies parent origin and knows not about mesh / bone transformation. This prevents different clients seeing the object detached in different spots which is most correct
Update the position of attached players to clients. An attached player will see himself move, but this is currently VERY ugly and laggy as it is done by the server (it probably must stay this way too)
Use a different approach for locally attached players. This allows for smooth positio transitions to work, as well at the player turning around freely. Still buggy however
New object property which allows changing the color and alpha of mesh materials. Due to the current lighting systems it doesn't work yet, but the full implementation is there
Framework for the attachment system, with no actual functionality yet
Send bone and player object to the setAttachment function in content_sao.cpp, but we need a way to translate it there and send it to the client
I will also want position and rotation offsets to be possible to apply to attachments
Network object ID from server to client. This will be used to identify the parent client-side and know what to attach to
Support for animation blending, though for some reason it doesn't work.
Don't enable animation transitions by default for many reaosons
Object property to store individual bone positions. LUA can specify a bone name followed by a bone position. No functionality yet. Bone rotation to be added in the following commit
Same system for bone rotation, plus a few other things I missed
