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.
Reduce spread from 96 to primes 61 and 67 (either side of 64)
Prime spreads help to keep 3D noise periodic features unaligned
'cave width' 0.2 to preserve tunnel width
Reduce octaves to 3 to improve network structure
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
This commit moves noise calculation to the functions where the noise is
actually required, increasing the separation of concerns and level of
interdependency for each mapgen method. Valleys Mapgen is left unmodified.
BiomeGen defines an interface that, given a set of BiomeParams, computes biomes
for a given area using the algorithm implemented by that specific BiomeGen.
This abstracts away the old system where each mapgen supplied the noises
required for biome generation.
Instead of doing nothing at node_max.Y + 1 use 1-down
overgeneration for tunnel generation and noisemaps
Move some old unused code in mgv7 to end of file
Don't excavate the overgenerated stone at node_max.Y + 1,
this creates a 'roof' over the tunnel, preventing light in
tunnels at mapchunk borders when generating mapchunks upwards.
Lower water table where base humidity is low.
Alter heat and humidity to compensate for river humidity and altitude
chill.
Correct misuse of surface_max_y in generateTerrain.
Remove sand trails in the water at river mouths.
Remove river water below water_level.
Correct heat/humidity calculations where noises are less than zero.
Correct heightmap errors as much as possible.
Make humidity calculations more readable.
To avoid spawn search failing in new specialised mapgens
Increase spawn search range to 4000 nodes
Add getSpawnLevelAtPoint() functions to EmergeManager, class Mapgen
and all mapgens
Remove getGroundLevelAtPoint() functions from all mapgens except mgv6
(possibly to be re-added later in the correct form to return actual
ground level)
Make mgvalleys flag names consistent with other mapgens
Remove now unused 'vertical spawn range' setting
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.
