Since local servers and local favorites have no ping value (these
are only provided by the server) we shouldn't load a broken
image filename.
Fixes#5238
We want to reduce the chance that we get lots and lots of node
timers all happening once a second, because we're better off doing
small bits of work as they are available.
Reducing this to 0.2 seconds will greatly reduce the total amount
of nodetimers that elapse at the same instance, while not effecting
total work load. This results in a far better chance of the server
keeping up with work loads.
The default of 15 is unchanged.
7 degrees is x10 magnification which is common for binoculars.

Introduces two functions to unregister and override chatcommands.

When the new set of biomes was added in MTGame the 'spread' for heat
and humidity noise parameters was increased to 1000, i forgot to update
settingtypes.txt and minetest.conf.
Remake the light_decode_table.
The table starts out without pre-filled in values since those
are always discarded by the code apparently. We calculate a
pseudo curve with gamma power function, and then apply a new
adjustment table.
The adjustment table is setup to make the default gamma of 2.2
look decent: not too dark at light level 3 or so, but too dark
at 1 and below to be playable. The curve is much smoother than
before and looks reasonable at the whole range, offering a
pleasant decay of light levels away from lights.
The `display_gamma` setting now actually does something logical:
the game is darker at values below 2.2, and brighter at values
above 2.2. At 3.0, the game is very bright, but still has a good
light scale. At 1.1 or so, the bottom 5 light levels are virtually
black, but you can still see enough detail at light levels 7-8,
so the range and spread is adequate.
I must add that my monitor is somewhat dark to begin with, since
I have a `hc` screen that doesn't dynamic range colors or try to
pull up `black` pixels for me (it is tuned for accurate color and
light levels), so this should look even better on more dynamic
display tunings.
As mgv7 is now the default mapgen i re-checked its tunnel width on request,
discovered they needed to be wider, and have made this change.
This commit widens the identical 3D noise tunnels in the other mapgens in
exactly the same way.
This fixes a bug existing in modmgr.lua as reported by @Wuzzy2 which
caused the mod dependency list to glitch if input was using a line
terminator different than the OS default.
The C++ code does not need any changes as it already trims CR
occurrences on platforms on which the line termination sequence is LF.
Taken into account the size of the depends.txt files used, this should
not introduce a noticeable performance regression.
Fixes#4720
It would complain that the value should be higher than the lower

Similar issue for the upper bound.
This combats the problem of sending the hundreds of

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.
Fixes#4778 which was about the error:
ServerError: Lua: Runtime error from mod '' in callback item_OnPlace():
/usr/local/share/minetest/builtin/game/item.lua:278: attempt to call global 'check_attached_node' (a nil value)
The issue was a regression of commit 649448a2a91fbf3e944b2f2e739f4e2292af1df0
"Rename nodeupdate and nodeupdate_single and make them part of the official API"
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.

Disable the ability to connect to old servers by default to
improve password security.
If people still want to connect to old (0.4.12 and earlier)
servers, they can flip the send_pre_v25_init setting.
Add the ability to detect if we've tried to connect
to a server which only supports the pre v25 init protocol,
and show an apropriate error message. Most times the error
will already be catched at the serverlist level, the
detection mechanism only acts as last resort, because the
"Connection timed out" error message that would be shown
otherwise would be very confusing.
Automatic "fixing" of this condition is not desired,
as it would allow for downgrade attacks.
As already 161 of the 167 servers on the serverlist
support the new srp based auth protocol (> 96%),
the breakage should be minimal.
Follow up of commit

Also change the pessimistic assumption of masterlist
server versions to optimistic, in order to avoid buggy
behaviour (favourites not in the serverlist would be
denied to connect to, etc).
Avoids unreachable code linter warning by moving generation code
(of minetest.conf.example and settings_translation_file.cpp)

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.

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

has disabled it for the esc menu.

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:

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.
