Previously the only way to disable biomes was to 'clear' the registered
biomes in a mod, but this method causes large amounts of unnecessary
processing:
1. Calculation of 4 2D noises.
2. Looping through all nodes of a mapchunk replacing nodes with identical
nodes.
The new flag disables those operations.
Avoid crash in some situations when player is inside a node, causing
'above' to equal 'under'.
In this situation return 'under' which is the node position very close
to the face position that would normally be returned.
In the client, raise lower limit from 30 to 45 degrees, to avoid server
seeing this as a zoom and loading world beyond the server-set limit.
Add minimum in settingtypes.txt and enforce lower limit when set using
minetest.conf.
In the server, distrust the client-sent FOV if below the heuristic zoom
threshold and use the player object property 'zoom_fov' to check it, to
protect against hacked clients.
* Android: Replace movement buttons with joystick
Replace movement control buttons (arrows at bottom left screen) with virtual joystick.
Joystick has 8 directions (same as keyboard). Basically, just map it to keyboard input.
Joystick applies only on left 1/3 of screen.
Joystick's position can be fixed by enabling fixed_virtual_joystick setting.
Three new images:
(1) placeholder joystick,
(2) joystick container (background), and
(3) joystick cursor.
Remove unused images: movement control buttons (*_arrow.png).
New data type: touch_gui_joystick_move_id
Joystick's fixed position is spaced one button size from bottom and from left of screen.
Remove unused variable: m_joystick_downlocation
Use the --color command line parameter instead of a setting for coloured logs
This fixes the missing warningstream bug, g_settings->get mustn't be used there.
Also, the decision about en- or disabling log colours fits better to the command line parameters than minetest settings.
Delay was converted from the param string and not the delay value, thus never using the actual given delay value when used in combination with other string values in the param, in this case reconnect and the shutdown messsage.
Prevents falling node entities entering the ignore at a world edge and
resting on unloaded nodes 16 nodes below, unreachable, undiggable and
still being processed by 'on step' because they don't revert to nodes.
The following languages exist in Minetest PO folder were missing from the selection menu:
- dv (Dhivehi)
- ms (Malay)
- sl (Slovenian)
- sv (Swedish)
- sw (Swahili)
A useful function that applies 'core.is_protected()' to a 3D lattice of
points evenly spaced throughout a defined volume, with a parameter for
the maximum spacing of points.
* Add player deletion method to auth handler (fixes#6653)
* Support iterating over the auth database
There was no way to do this previously and a recent commit
broke doing this the "hacky" way by accessing `core.auth_table`.
Remove player object property 'can zoom'.
Add player object property 'zoom fov'.
Remove clientside setting for 'zoom fov'.
Object property default is 15 degrees in creative mode, zoom disabled
in survival mode.
Needed due to zoom now loading and/or generating distant world
according to zoom FOV.
Update object properties serialisation version to 3.
Falling nodes should make a sound. This can only be done here,
so for simplicity we just call the sound_play() here with the node
place sound. We ignore any gain value in the sound spec since a
falling node should be loud, so the 1.0 default gain makes sense
here.
* Fix default item callbacks to work with nil users
* item.lua: Handle node drops for invalid players
The if-condition for the dropping loop is the same as `inv`, which means that the 2nd possible definition of `give_item` is never used.
Remove redundant `local _, dropped_item`
Formspec input for each individual noise parameter and flag.
Allow noise flags to be set in advanced settings, previously only settable
in minetest.conf.
Standardise 'group format' for noise parameters set in minetest.conf, as
only these support noise flags. However the older 'single line' format is
still accepted to support existing minetest.conf files.
Therefore auto-generate minetest.conf.example with noise parameters in
'group format'.
Setting 'type' in settingtypes.txt is now either 'noise_params_2D' or
'noise_params_3D', the dimension number is displayed in the advanced
settings edit page.
Increase scrollrate depending on fontsize
Scroll on mousewheel
Allow scrolling and marking text on non writable textareas
Update lua api about readonly mode
Show scrollbar if text overflows
Implement network communication for channels
* Implement ModChannel manager server side to route incoming messages from clients to other clients
* Add signal handler switch on client & ModChannelMgr on client to handle channels
* Add Lua API bindings + client packet sending + unittests
* Implement server message sending
* Add callback from received message handler to Lua API using registration method
Feature is unnecessary and would greatly complicate future development,
it would also make 'get biome at pos' extremely complex.
Mgv7: Revert option to repeat surface biomes in floatlands, which
depended on the above.
* Abort set_item when it does nothing
* Do not adjust dropped item size linearly
Instead use cube root because the item count is proportional to the volume, not to the length.
* Make the item rotate slower when it's bigger
Bigger items chafe more on the ground, so they can't rotate as fast as small ones
* Fix items flying in air
* Implement minetest.register_on_userlimit_check
This new callback permits to bypass the max_users parameter with new mods condition, based on player name or IP
Only one mod needs to permit it.
Move core part for builtin privileges checks to builtin
* Formspec: Add options to set background color and opacity (fullscreen mode)
* Enhance previous comment: Set formspec background when regenerate UI.
* This permit to do the calcul only at regen and override it with bgcolor tag
* Add a setting for default background color into formspec, separated from fullscreen
* Add a little performance gain on formspecs using a const ref instead of copying formspec string
Move client 'controls', 'graphics' and 'sound' into the first level to be
immediately visible to players who may not realise these come under 'client'.
These are the settings that new players or players on a server are likely to
want to access while not having understanding of what comes under 'client'.
Leave client 'network' and 'advanced' under 'client' as these are more
advanced.
Move 'show entity selection boxes' from the bizarre location in
'client'>'network' to 'graphics'>'in game'>'advanced'.
* Setting: Safe digging and placing
* New setting 'safe_dig_and_place' under Controls
* If set, digging and placing will not auto-repeat
* Releasing buttons unblocks the respective action again
* Useful for inexperienced users in creative mode where default
repeat times may be too short
* Safe placing (right click repetition) does not need a guarding flag
* Added new setting to minetest.conf.example
* Respect object property hp_max field for players
This allows modders to configure the maximal HP per player
* Statbars: Downscale bar to full 20 HP when exceeding this value
Add default max HP for players and breath constants to builtin
Document the constants
* Rename PLAYER_MAX_HP -> PLAYER_MAX_HP_DEFAULT
* Make world creation menu automatically generate a name.
* Name is now initialy empty, and generated if player tries to create a world without a name.
Minetest performance improvement has been huge since months, server step reduction will permit to handle client events a little bit faster without too many penalty costs due to core engine
Allows setting of the mountain 'zero level' (y where density gradient is zero).
It is easy to vertically shift smooth terrain by editing noise parameter 'offset',
but vertically shifting mountain terrain was complex and imprecise, involving
making a calculation based on an average of the mountain height parameter.
The change from 800x600 to 1024x576 (16:9) was a reduction in height which caused
user interface to become smaller.
Continue to use width 1024 as it is a common small screen width.
