Previous times were chosen using statistical maths, but reports suggested
this was too long.
I tested by timing an ABM acting on 100 nodes, with interval and chance equal
to the old sapling ABM.
50 at 4m59s.
99 at 24m58s.
100 at 26m58s.
So choose a grow time between 5 and 25 min for tree and bush saplings.
If 'can grow' is false at grow time the timer is reset to 5 min.
It is useful for protection mods to know who owns an exploding
TNT block. This allows the blocks destroyed by the TNT to be
limited to the same ones the owner could destroy without using
TNT.
TNT placed within a protected area by the area owner, and later
ignited by another player will destroy within the protected area
nodes the igniter may not otherwise be able to interact with. Any
player could significantly increase the size of an explosion by
placing more TNT in an adjacent unprotected area if the original
TNT block was placed withing 1 node of such a boundary. This
feature sounds dangerous, but we are talking about TNT. Players
should use it carefully.
If backface culling is not specified for a tile in 'images' it is set to true.
Slabs already have backface culling due to being defined as nodeboxes (which
are then converted to meshnodes).
Really large books just waste hard drive space and the engine is not designed to
handle that much data in item metadata, this can cause strange things to happen.
No longer have 2 recipes for stairs, choose the one that matches the appearence
in inventory (stair rising toward the right).
Helps to reduce recipe count now that an increasing number of stairs are
being registered.
This keeps the filenames the same, but adds a new "inside" double texture
for the open chest.
Use regular drawtype for closed chest and delete the "cube.obj" model.
X-flip the right-side texture for the closed chest.
Revert the new 'default:game' inventory back to the old 'main' and use the
lbm to restore the contents of the chest.
Change the name of the conversion LBM to ensure it is run again on already
converted chests.
Adds a mesh model that appears when a chest is opened. The chest
stays visibly open as long as the player keeps it open. When the
player closes the formspec, the chest returns back to the closed
shape. While opening and closing, a sound plays.
A second person inspecting the chest will trigger a second sound
open. However, only after the last player closes the chest, does the
chest actually visually close and is the sound close played. This
keeps mesh updates to a minimum.
While it's possible that a server shutting down may cause chests
to remain open, this does not affect the chests' working matter,
and opening or closing them should fix them.
Old chests are converted to the new style by LBM. I previously
had them converted on open but this was unreliable, and LBMs
don't have that problem.
Open chests cannot be dug up. This prevents people from keeping
a chest open and digging it out as well, since closing a chest
would place a chest back (swap) at the spot. We could protect
against this, but it still messes up the client and causes a lot
of "missing node inventory" error messages otherwise. It's
unlikely but possible that a player lagging out causes a chest
to stay "open" and thus unremovable by digging, but there are
other ways of dealing with that - a server restart fixes that
issue.
If the lid of the chest is obstructed, the sounds continue to play,
but the lid isn't opened. Obstructed means that a node is present
above the chest lid, however, we ignore several node types like signs,
torches (not 3d) and wallmounted nodeboxes (typically signs) since
they don't pose any major obstruction in almost any case, and are
typically found above chests. Additionally, the selection box of the
opened chest does not include the lid, and so one can still interact
with e.g. a sign behind an open lid.
Due to the fact that chests now have 7+ textures, we can no longer
use materials (limit: 6) to texture the chest, and so there is now
a single UV mapped image that applies both to open and closed chests.
While this does mean texture pack makers need to create it, this
is extremely simple and consists of a simple cut'n'paste over the
template and should be really easy to do. Only one texture file is
now then used for both open and closed chests.
Previously i had matched ore density to moreores, but this density was
too high and out of balance with MTGame, reduce density to be similar
to copper ore.
The 2 levels of underground ore were overlapping, fix.
Textures are actually by kilbith, update credits.
Also credit kilbith for bronze, copper, gold and steel blocks, credits
had not been updated at the time.
Use Calinou's textures from moreores mod.
Craft bronze from tin and copper instead of steel and copper.
Match ore density to the moreores mod but start ore at a depth of
y = -32 to be part of the depth progression of other ores.
Commit 73d61cbb103415c9a3970eaf2c48aeadabfff828 makes skeleton keys
craftitems rather than tools, warranting the move from tools.lua
to craftitems.lua.
Allow skeleton keys to be stacked by converting them to craftitems and
adding a few lines of code to add a new itemstack to the inventory with
the new key or drop it at the player position if the inventory is full.
Bush saplings grow in half the time of tree saplings.
Bushes do not need 'from sapling' schematic variants because only the
stem node is force-placed in the mapgen schematic, so only the sapling
is force-replaced.
Bush leaves drop saplings with a rarity that ensures at least 1 sapling
per bush on average.
Slabs are placed horizontal instead of vertical, even if they are
placed on a wall.
Slabs are rotated automatically if they are placed to another slab,
no matter which material.
Slabs are placed at the lower position if the placer points into
the lower half of the pointed node and to the upper position if
pointed to the upper half.
Stairs are placed normal if the placer points to the lower half of
the pointed node and rotated upside down if pointed to the upper half.
As part of making vertical travel easier to reduce reliance on
sneak ladders.
Calculate using cubic pixels of steel.
A steelblock is 16^3 = 4096 cubic pixels steel.
6 ingots is 6/9 steelblocks.
A rail is a 2*2*16 pixel length of steel, 64 cubic pixels steel.
6 ingots produces 2*21 rails = 21 rail nodes.
Choose 18 for an even number that is a multiple of ingot number.
Replace the stick with 2 wood in the recipe to be closer to the amount
of wood that would be needed for 20*4 sleepers.
Replace 2 mese crystal fragments with 1 mese crystal to
compensate for the larger number of nodes returned. The result
is the recipe is much more generous with steel usage but slightly
less generous with mese usage, keeping power rail cost reasonably high.
Replace 2 coal lumps with 1 for a similar recipe to power rails.
