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:

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.
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
`errorstream` must not be overly verbose as clientside it is directly printed
onto the ingame chat window. These days, the serverlist can contain > 200k bytes,
so better print it to warningstream if the data buffer is too long.
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.
This reverts commit 91bafceee6606fab79db1bde4cba01b84fed65c7.
Reverted due to missinterpretation of agreement, obvious dislike and me not interested in doing fights for feature I don't actually need
Previous commit
70ea5d552e283bd5bce3278cbf3819bd87ba2602 "Add support for limiting rotation of automatic face movement dir entitys"
by sapier has broken minetest's feature to open worlds. This was due to a
missing stack pop operation.
Thanks to @oleastre for reporting this bug and suggesting the fix.
Fix the type of the threshold value for mapgen.
The commit
a78dd7f2b6b0e1fefdbaa1ae21b722dd4459e4f4 "Fix spelling of noise_threshold"
has changed it to be read as int, but it can have non-integral values too.
Thanks to @kwolekr for pointing this out.

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.
For several years now, the lua script lock has been completely broken.
This commit fixes the main issue (creation of a temporary rather than
scoped object), and fixes a subsequent deadlock issue caused by
nested script API calls by adding support for recursive mutexes.
Previously, the server called FATAL_ERROR when a Lua error occured.
This caused a (mostly useless) core dump.
The server now simply throws an exception, which is caught and printed before
exiting with a non-zero return value.
This also fixes a number of instances where errors were logged multiple times.
Everywhere where wstrgettext was used, its output was converted back
to utf8. As wstrgettext internally converts the return value
from utf8 to wstring, it has been a waste. Remove the function, and
use strgettext instead.
The invsize formspec element is outdated. Even though,
it is still supported, only a deprecation warning is shown,
introduced by commit [1]. The lua context passed to the
log_deprecated method added by commit [1] is NULL for the
invsize deprecation warning, as its run on the client and not
the server.
Commit [1] has removed checks for NULL inside the log_deprecated
method, resulting in a crash when a formspec with an invsize
element is parsed. This commit puts the check back.
Fixes#3260.

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.

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.
Before, calling get_areas_in_area for an areastore with both
include_borders and include_data would result in a lua error,
if there was at least one area as result:
attempt to index a number value in function 'get_areas_in_area'
The commit
8f9af57314f71aae1cc77e13f9996e13015d776d "Add core.get_dir_list" by @ShadowNinja
has removed the implementation of the l_get_dirlist function and all its usages
from the l_mainmenu.cpp file, but hasn't removed it from the header file.
The reason why this hasn't been detected earlier is that C++ has this interesting
feature to still make it possible to create instances of classes whose never used
private methods are declared but not defined.
* Rename everything.
* Strip J prefix.
* Change UpperCamelCase functions to lowerCamelCase.
* Remove global (!) semaphore count mutex on OSX.
* Remove semaphore count getter (unused, unsafe, depended on internal
API functions on Windows, and used a hack on OSX).
* Add `Atomic<type>`.
* Make `Thread` handle thread names.
* Add support for C++11 multi-threading.
* Combine pthread and win32 sources.
* Remove `ThreadStarted` (unused, unneeded).
* Move some includes from the headers to the sources.
* Move all of `Event` into its header (allows inlining with no new includes).
* Make `Event` use `Semaphore` (except on Windows).
* Move some porting functions into `Thread`.
* Integrate logging with `Thread`.
* Add threading test.
Use wide_to_utf8 and utf8_to_wide instead of wide_to_narrow and narrow_to_wide at almost all places.
Only exceptions: test functions for narrow conversion, and chat, which is done in a separate commit.
If you run minetest with valgrind, you'll quickly notice uninitialized jump
depend error messages that point to s_base.cpp:131. This commit fixes those.
