Previously, every individual particle on a server is sent to, and rendered by
(even if not actually visible), every client regardless of distance. This
significantly reduces client FPS and creates unnecessary network traffic.
Maximum distance is set by 'max block send distance' as this determines how far
a client is able to see.
Also disable CavesRandomWalk at a safer distance from caverns.
Excavating liquids in cavern code is unnecessary as in practice we are already
successfully disabling the generation of liquid caves that could intersect
with caverns and cause excessive amounts of spreading liquids in caverns.
However to be safer this commit now disables liquid caves at a larger distance
from caverns, to compensate for liquid caves being able to generate up to a
mapblock beyond a mapchunk border.
Not excavating liquids in cavern code also allows a feature i am working on in
experimental new core mapgens, but also allows for more flexibility in future.
* Move KeyList & InputHandler from game.h to client/inputhandler.h
We have a header for inputs, move inputhandler class & related keylist object to it
Also introduce a cpp file for MyEventReceiver::OnEvent function in inputhandler.h because a so huge function doesn't needs to be inlined
* Pass clang-format on inputhandler.{cpp,h} (compatible)
- Split movement keys into separate entries.
- Increase buffer size due to the above change.
- Change capitalisation.
- Remove code-style violating white spaces.
* Rework escape/pause menu
- Remove build information
- Use current controls instead of default controls
- Add information about the current server in place of the build information
- Add text saying the game is paused to if in singleplayer mode.
rework pause/escape menu
* improve consistency + display server_name
* read_schematic_replacements: ensure fields are strings
add a type check before reading strings on read_schematic_replacements deserializer
* throw LuaError instead of asserting the whole client
Recent commit 45ab62d6a3d90ab3b97aec88251a766cb5dd1899 had a coding error that
made climbing out of water difficult due to an incorrect value of the step height
when not 'touching ground'.
It also incorrectly multiplied the custom stepheight by BS, resulting in being
able to step-up 2 nodes if set to the default of 0.6, or even 0.3.
Also the implementation was wrong because it customised the step height when
not 'touching ground', this step height is for a slight rise when catching the
edge of a node during a jump, and should always remain at 0.2 * BS.
Also remove hardcoded MTGame node.
The 'water surface shader' was duplicated shader code in preparation for
intended new water surface shaders. For development purposes the MTGame node
'default:water_source' had it's top tile assigned to 'water surface shader'.
Due to shader duplication this commit does not cause any change to shader
behaviour.
* Player attrs: permits to remove an attribute by setting value to nil
When doing player:set_attribute("attr", nil) remove attribute
Also remove a useless check on C++ API part (already done by checkplayer)
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).
* Optimize updateFastFaceRow processing by removing some TileSpec copy
It permit to decrease this function from 54% runtime to 45% and reduce copy from 14% runtime to 12.5%
getTileInfo also reduced from 27% to 23%
* makeFastFace should use a const ref too
this trigger a const pointer need in the underlying function
Also fix some code style and prevent calculating 4 times the same position at a point
* Reduce a comparison cost for lights in updateFastFaceRow
Instead of create fake events on the stack on each loop call (Game::run), verify is queue is empty or not and handle event directly if there is.
This prevents fake ClientEvent creation & memory allocations
Same fix is also applied on ClientEnvironment, & rename getClientEvent to getClientEnvEvent to match ClientEnvEvent object
Despite the split of TileSpec into TileDef and TileLayer, the
TileLayer struct is still 66 bytes large, and doesn't fit in
a single cacheline.
I'm moving the color member to cacheline 2, in the hope that it
is less used and the compiler loads all the hot members in a single
cacheline instead. Only color sits now in cacheline 2, all the
other members are in cacheline 1.
Note: is_color is probably rarely set, most nodes will likely
not use hardware coloring, but this may change in the future.
Ideally, this class is shrunk to 64 bytes.
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.
Client: Don't send `TOSERVER_RECEIVED_MEDIA` since it's not used anymore
Server: Handle `TOSERVER_RECEIVED_MEDIA` using `Server::handleCommand_Deprecated`
* Remove redundant view_bobbing setting
Also fixes bug where disabling view_bobbing disables footstep sounds.
* Removes redundant view_bobbing setting
Setting view_bobbing amount to 0 is now the only way to
turn view_bobbing on and off. Also fixed a bug where footstep
sounds would not play when view_bobbing was disabled.

Fix crash caused by destructor 'delete' on noise objects that are not
created due to mapgen options.
Crash was caused by commit 57eaf62c697cec91890d9cb28d10385d293d2d3f
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.
if mod is a reference to a class member a variable swap breaks.
We should find a way to keep this const ref if possible.
Added a comment about this in header

* TextDest: remove unused setFormSpec function
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.
