Use the soil group more instead of checking for multiple node names.
Remove 'neighbors' from ABM.
Turn any flora to dry shrub if on a non-soil, except when on default:sand
to avoid dune grasses being replaced.
Search for "group:soil" when searching for a position for the new flora
node, instead of searching for multiple node names, however do not spread
flora onto desert sand, which is in the soil group.
Remove default:dirt_with_snow from the soil group as it would be frozen
soil. It can be dug and placed to turn it into dirt (consider this some
extra work needed to make it cultivatable).
Commit c68b8274fed183f30bd7609018766a261448b83d prevented books from
being copied in the crafting grid, and made it so that old books, though
seemingly successfully transferred to the new format, could not be written
to as the old data still persisted.
Previously you could place junglegrass on dirt to convert that dirt to
dirt_with_grass, but this is unsuitable now that rainforest has a
surface of dirt_with_rainforest_litter.
Remove junglegrass from the 'grass' group.
Since meta secret field is blank on any keys (default:key) obtained using
/give, the game will crash if you attempt to use one of these. This follows
along the principle that the game should never have any reason to crash.
A simple set of biomes for now: Ocean, coniferous forest, grassland,
sandstone desert.
Update biome lists for blob ores and decorations.
Make sandstone desert filler 1 node deeper to match other deserts.
Instead of right click, the skeleton key is now a true `tool`
in the sense that it's default left-click action is to create
a key for the locked object.
This is far better than the outcome of the patches we've done
where the only way to create a key for a locked item was to
use sneak+rightclick. Now keys are perhaps a bit more sensible,
left for making keys, right for opening stuff with keys.
Fixes#1625
Currently jungletrees and junglegrass use sidelen 80 for simplicity,
but this results in a more uneven distribution of decorations. A more
even distribution helps keep rainforest darker with a more unbroken
canopy.
This is also more consistent. 80 is based on the default mapchunk
size, all other decorations use sidelen 16 or smaller to divide into
any mapchunk size.
Denser jungletree for darker rainforest:
Highest 'jungletree' nodes now prob 255.
Add a 5th lower branch layer.
Increase lower branch layer y-slice prob to 191.
Aspen:
Extend trunk upwards by 1 node to reduce leafdecay radius to 2.
Pine:
Make lower trunk 1 node longer so that lowest branches are more often
higher off the ground, also to make pines taller.
Appletree:
Make 2 opposite branches prob 255, the other 2 prob 127, to avoid
trees with 1 or 0 branches. Therefore also add random rotation.
Increase to 5 ladders from 7 sticks.
More generous to help with vertical travel.
Divide the log core volume of 14 * 14 * 16 cubic pixels by the volume of
a ladder node with two 2 * 2 * 16 side pieces and four 2 * 1 * 16 rungs
(cut down to length 14), to get 12.25 ladders per log.
The recipe of 7 stick items is 7 / 16 = 0.4375 logs.
Ladders per 7 stick items = 0.4375 * 12.25 = 5.36.
Utilizes the new key-meta (as with nodes) and the ability to set the description of an itemstack with the `description` meta key. Includes code to convert old metadata to new key-meta.
- beds
- boats
- carts
- key/skeleton key
- seeds
All these had on_place handlers that did not allow nodes with
an on_rightclick() handler to be used first (if not using
sneak). This code is taken from the torches mod and applied
everywhere.
This allows all these items to e.g. be inserted into the `frame`
mod's item frames.
Utilizes several new features allowing the description of an item to be changed using the `description` meta key. This also moves keys from using the old single-value itemstack metadata system to the new node-like metadata system.
Return to previous parameters interval = 1, chance = 2.
Compensates for the increase in default active block radius.
Large amounts of lava cooling at once is known to overload sound
creation, producing error messages.
As part of the original plan for a new lightcurve.
With the old lightcurve lights were so dim all light sources had light
source level 13 or 14 to compensate, resulting in almost no difference
between torchlight and a maximum brightness light.
The new lightcurve makes all light sources effectively much brighter by
spreading visually-bright light further, torches are now slightly too
bright. So now we can reduce the light source level of torches while
actually making them effectively brighter than with the old lightcurve.
This also creates a desirable difference between torchlight and a
maximum-brightness light source.
This implements a node-timer based leafdecay mechanism, and exposes
an API to use it in mods.
The API is documented in game_api.txt.
`default.register_leafdecay(leafdecaydef)`
`leafdecaydef` is a table, with following members:
{
trunks = { "default:tree"}, -- nodes considered trunks
leaves = { "default:leaves", "default:apple"}, -- nodes considered leaves
radius = 3, -- activates leafdecay this far from the trunk
}
The algorithm will drop `leaves` items in the area if no `trunks` are found
in the `trunk_radius` sized area around the position of the leaf. If a node
listed in `leaves` has a group `leafdecay_drop > 0`, then the item is dropped,
otherwise the item is removed but not dropped.
The algorithm also implements a value `default.leafdecay_speed` (default
15) which can be modified to increase or decrease of the leaf decay. The
algorithm will vary the actual speed a bit to introduce randomness.
Leaf decay is randomized by 0.1 seconds to reduce the chance that
decay happens many times on the same second interval. This requires
nodetimer_interval to be set to values lower than 1.0 to have an
effect.
The leaves will decay between 2 and 10 seconds after digging the trunk,
and happen at non-integer second intervals.
-- The API was added by sofar.
Plantlike drawtype no longer applies 'visual scale' twice, so now we
use the actual scale factor desired.
Remove unnecessary 'visual_scale = 1.0' lines.
Light level 14 to be able to grow plants.
3 returned from crafting with 1 glass node, 3 mese crystals and 1
wood plank.
Seamlessly placable on appletree wood fence posts.
Now that biomes are being specified for blob ores we need a separate
set of blob ore registrations for mgv6 which has no Biome API biomes
defined.
Various minor improvements to mapgen.lua.
Now that the missing 'default_dig_snappy' sound has been added we can
remove the dirt dig sound from the table. All nodes that use the
leaves defaults table have group 'snappy' so 'default_dig_snappy' now
becomes their default dig sound.
Craft 4 default:sand to default:sandstone.
Previously, 4 group:sand was craftable to sandstone and sandstone was
craftable back into default:sand, allowing silver and desert sands to
be converted into incorrect colour sandstone and yellow sand.
I recently made glass footstep and dig gains too low, raise slightly.
Change dirt dug gain from above-maximum 1.5 to maximum 1.0.
Reduce gain of footsteps: stone, dirt, gravel, wood, metal
Raise gain of leaves footstep.
Some nodes with the snappy group (wool, glass pane, seeds) were missing
sound when dug with a sword.
Adding the sound causes it to be used for glass pane, so define a 'dig'
sound in the 'node sound glass defaults' table, use the footstep sound.
Adding the sound also causes it to be used for seeds which deliberately
have no dig sound, so add an empty sound override for seed dig.
Reduce the gain of the glass footstep sound which was excessively loud.
Add some freesound members to license.txt.
Some GPUs cause visual bugs when mip-mapping is used with indexed textures
that use alpha. Because leaves are sometimes rendered opaque it is even
more important to keep these as RGBA to preserve the correct background
colour.
Papyrus:
Make base node dirt instead of dirt_with_grass. Formerly the exposed
dirt would change to grass but the new grass spread ABM now prevents that.
Waterlily:
Don't specify a water_source node in the schematic, as it may be used in
river water. It was not force-placed but should really be "air" prob = 0.
Biomes:
Add 'sandstone desert', 'cold desert', 'snowy grassland'.
Rename 'glacier' biome to 'icesheet' biome.
Rename non-swamp 'swamp' biomes to 'shore' biomes.
Remove 'sandstone grassland' biome.
Rename 'stone grassland' biome to 'grassland' biome.
Edit biome points for improved similarity to Whittaker classification.
Change 'tundra' to bare stone with snowblocks.
Make dirt 'swamp' / 'shore' less deep.
Ores:
Make dirt blob ore biome-specific, limit to dirt biomes.
Decorations:
Make mushroom noise spread match that of appletrees as originally intended,
to have mushrooms spawn in darker thicker forest areas.
Add coral reefs in warm oceans.
Add bushes and acacia bushes.
Jungletrees in deeper water for larger swamps.
Register flower mod decorations in singlenode mapgen for use by
minetest.generate_registered_decorations, as in default/mapgen.lua.
- Improve arms attachment
The arm bones were at an angle, so that the bones were difficult
to orient correctly, as unintuitive combinations of angles
would be needed to get the default orientation, or any other
acceptable orientation. Moreover, a simple rotation of the arm,
e.g. forward, would require all angles to be adapted, instead
of just one.
The ends of the arms bones were moved from touching the body, to
the center of the arm, at an equal distance from the sides of the
arm and the shoulder; the arm bone is now in the center of the arm.
- Fix body rotation
The body was rotated 180° while the rest wasn't, leading to
strange results when setting bone positions manually.
- Fix default rotation of limbs (manually positioning them in
their default position would require an 180° rotation).
Is is not know how this was fixed. Maybe just because the
model was re-exported.
- The bone of the cape was moved to the center of the cape (it was
at the edge). For some reason this fixed the 180° rotation of the
cape when it was manually positioned (similar to previous issue).
The changes above fix most of the issues mentioned in #1376
- Add a player-model-specific workaround for the problem described in:
https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2813#issuecomment-198796927https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/pull/1392#issuecomment-261669915
During walking, attached tools would randomly switch hands. Walking also
happens to be the only animation where the body does not move. Making the
body move an imperceptible amount makes the issue disappear for the player
model.
- Fix body vertex group: it no longer includes parts of arms and legs
Thanks to @stujones11 for these last two changes.
This code adds the key concept to minetest_game, and integrates it
with lockable nodes. Currently supported lockable items are the Steel
Door, the Steel Trapdoor, and the Locked Chest.
The goal of this modification is to introduce a fine-grained multi-
player permission system that is intuitive and usable without any
console or chat commands, and doesn't require extra privileges to
be granted or setup. Keys can also physically be conveyed to other
players, adding to gameplay and adding some personality that is
preferable to console commands or editing formspecs.
A skeleton key can be crafted with 1 gold ingot. Skeleton keys can
then be matched to a lockable node by right-clicking the skeleton
key on a lockable node, which changes the skeleton key to a "key".
Gold was chosen as it's currently a not-so very useful item, and
therefore it's likely that players have some, but aren't really
using it for any purpose.
This key can subsequently used by any player to open or access that
lockable node, including retrieving items from Locked Chests, or
putting items in them.
They key is programmed to fit only the particular locked node it is
programmed to. This is achieved by storing a secret value in both
key and locked node. If this secret value doesn't match, the key
will not open the locked node. This allows many keys to be created
for one chest or door, but a key will only fit one node ever. The
secrets are stored in node, and item meta for the key.
If a locked node is removed, all keys that opened it are no longer
valid. Even if a new door/chest is placed in exactly the same spot,
the old keys will no longer fit that node.
Keys can be smelted back in gold ingots if they are no longer useful.
The method of storing a secret in nodemeta and itemstackmeta is secure
as there is no way for the client to create new items on the server
with a particular secret metadata value. Even if you could possible
create such an itemstack on the client, the server does not ever read
itemstackmeta from a client package.
The patch adds an API that allows other nodes and nodes added by
mods to use the same keys as well. The method how to implement this
is described in game_api.txt. The mod should add 2 callbacks to it's
node definition. Example code is given.
Textures are from PixelBOX, thanks to Gambit.
This merges the current state of the well-maintained and tested
`torches` mod as I've maintained it for the last 6 months.
This started out as a thorough cleanup of 3D torches by blockmen,
where some of the initial code still remains.
The models were redone entirely from scratch and have been extensively
tested with dozens of animated textures converted with mcimport,
and look a lot better than the original 3D Torches mod.
The ceiling torch is retained and functional. The `wieldlight`
addition that the torches mod has was removed, since it relies
on wieldview to look decent. This can stay external mod code.
I've opted to move the torch nodes to a separate file. It's not
a lot of code but nodes.lua is already huge, and I wanted to
retain the copyright header and some of the readme.txt notes,
and this was the easiest way of doing it.
This code passes "default:torch" to nodes with on_rightclick,
fixing problems with itemframes. Essentially it has a more
elaborate item_place() routine to make sure we're not passing
the wall torch to nodes that may display it.
The ceiling torch is a separate model and not the same as the
floor model. That does mean that there are 3 models in this
mod.
This is all the working code from SmallJoker's boost_cart, poored into
a more suitable form for minetest_game.
- Mesecons and moreores stuff was removed entirely.
- Textures were all renamed and moved out of default/
- Updated license, readme.txt, attribution
- Changed code license to MIT, left artwork at CC0
- removed default:rail and made aliases for it
- :carts:rail is now carts:rail.
- localized entity def
- removed copper rail entirely
- startstop rail was removed, as well as detector rail
- remodeled to b3d using stujones11 excellent blend model, but sizes
of cart adjusted to make pixel sizes consistent (0.625) everywhere.
- slightly more complex texture map for the cart (front/side visibly
different)
- rail parameters are passed as a separate def table, and stored in
a private list. This avoids having to call `get_meta` on every
node. In return, we need the node name, though.
- adds metal sounds (based on default metal sound function) and
cart moving sound.
- reduced cart speeds to max 7, 5 by pushing.
- Added on_step() rail event handler, gets called when a cart is on
a rail.
- Added various rebased updates from upstream (thanks Krock)
- Included a fix that removes the 'reverse jiggle' when stopping.
- Included reworked textures by sofar.
The mod namespace is still public, but I'm NOT declaring it an API. I'd
rather see it localized instead, for now. Any public interface in this
code is *experimental* at best, and should be considered non-stable and
unsupported for now.
Currently all minetest_game PR's are failing travis since the
upstream luacheck now also warns about whitespace issues, and
there are a few of those in the code. This fixes all of them
so we can yet again rely on luacheck.
With mip-mapping enabled, some GPUs cause a visual bug with indexed
textures that use alpha. This bug has been present for a while but
not noticed before. All indexed alpha textures must now be converted
to RGBA, to start this process we revert some textures converted to
indexed in the recent commit af3c918.
Make lava cooling ABM use a new group 'group:cools_lava'.
Nodes other than water can cool lava. We assume snowblock and ice melt,
turn to water and cool lava.
Leave 'group:water' present temporarily to not break mod liquids.
This fixes all cases where the color profile was broken, and
libpng warns about. It also makes almost all textures indexed
instead of RGB where possible (textures that don't have
semi-transparent pixels).
A deeper, darker level of leaves is created by tiling the texture
2 by 2, reducing brightness and offsetting this.
For a denser leaf appearence with the 'simple leaves' setting.
Also used for acacia bush leaves.
This plays when damage is disabled, an engine bug.
We can remove it because both sounds are identical, now it is removed
the 'player damage' sound still plays when falling damage is taken.
To allow mapgen bushes in green-grass and savanna grasslands.
Nodes for a generic bush and an acacia bush.
Stem nodes are craftable to a single wood node to provide a small
amount of wood resource in grasslands.
Fuel times are that of corresponding 'wood' nodes, 1/4 that of
corresponding tree nodes.
No leafdecay to enable use as hedges or without a nearby tree trunk.
Uses 'default leaves simple' texture for extra visual thickness.
Use 'player damage' sound for both damage and falling damage.
Gains for damage sounds are set in the engine, however we cannot change
those gains as other subgames already use damage sounds based on those
gains.
Sound has been re-edited from source and normalised to 0 dB for
maximum volume, which is only just enough because gain is fixed at 0.5
in the engine.
The check for igniters (fire/lava) will be performed every 10 secs
if the item is flammable.
if the item is found to be in lava it will then burn up and
disappear in a smoke puff.
If a non-lava igniter node is found, a combination of `flammable`
value of the item and `igniter` group value of the node will be used
to determine the chance for the item to be removed.
'jungleleaves simple' had completely different leaf colours to
'jungleleaves', now matched.
'leaves simple' had dark green instead of black colour for transparent
pixels (the 'leaves' texture uses black), normally these pixels would
not be rendered as opaque colours but bush nodes now use this texture
and will be rendering it as opaque. The dark green pixels resulted in
a texture lacking in contrast.
Credit to tenplus1 for the suggestion to generalise for mod use.
Mods can add mod nodes to 'group:spreading_dirt_type' enabling the
function to work with mod nodes.
Add some nodes to this group.
Removing 'dirt_with_grass' etc. from 'neighbors' stops the ABM action
running everywhere and constantly, on the dirt nodes immediately below
the surface nodes. Now the action only runs in the rare case of a dirt
node with neighbouring air, grass decorations or snow.
Remove check for air above to allow grass to spread under light-
transmitting nodes such as fences, walls, plants. This causes spread
under slabs, stairs and glass, when near air, but seems worth it.
Remove unnecessary check for nil node.
Retain definitions for node groups to support mods.
Burn time is unchanged for applewood, and increases in the order:
aspen, pine, apple, acacia, jungle which is also the order of wood
colour darkness.
Indicate in the infotext when a furnace has filled up `dst` but still
has fuel. The info text shows the item as 100% with added "(output
full)" text, indicating that while it can cook the item, there is no
place for it in the `dst`. Emptying the `dst` should make the item
cook immediately and furnace resume normal operation.
Make the softer woods, pine and aspen, 'flammable = 3'.
Correct inconsistent flammability of wood and stairs in relation
to all other solid wood nodes in MTGame.
Make the the softer woods, pine and aspen, 'choppy = 3'.
With thanks to contributor tenplus1
Remove leaf cache and globalstep accumulator limiter
Use 'pos' instead of 'p0'
Remove non-essential 'group:liquid' from 'neighbors'
Increase chance value to 10 to compensate for disabled cache
Disable 'catch-up' to avoid the ABM often becoming 10 times more
intensive
Remove use of 'do preserve' bool, instead simply 'return'
Remove unnecessary checks for 'd' and 'd == 0'
Don't 'get' n0, use already present 'node' instead
Swap order two conditionals so that the one most likely is first
Allows walking in, and prevents being trapped in, 2 node high spaces.
Simulates player's feet sinking into snow.
Easier jumping up onto nodes with snow.
Add a global 'intersects protection' function to functions.lua for
checking if a specified volume intersects with a protected volume.
A 3D lattice of points are checked with an adjustable interval.
Add a global 'sapling on place' function to avoid duplicated code in
nodes.lua.
Nyancats are independent in the default mod. Nothing else uses them or
their code. Separating it into a separate mod makes it easier for
subgames to remove them. It also makes it easier for a mod to depend
on nyancats, as lots of subgames don't have them.
Default/mapgen.lua: Register biomes, ores and decorations in
singlenode mapgen. These were never disabled anyway because
singlenode was removed from the world creation menu.
* Unused variables
* Unused values (assigned to variables, but overwritten before use)
* Defining already defined variables instead of reassigning to them.
Preserve overlapping registrations of large and small clusters
below y = -64 but now extend the small clusters up to y = 0 (the
previous highest iron ore level) in a similar to way to coal
Re-order registrations
Add and improve comments
Change sand blob ymax to 0 as sand does not always rise above 0
Remove dirt blobs from sandstone as it is unsuitable for
many sandstone biomes and ugly in stony sandstone desert
Change ymax of first iron region to 0
Allow many crafted nodes to be rotated in any way possible.
These blocks all have slab and stair versions, which can create awkward
patterns if placed together. By allowing these to be rotated players
can create new patterns and appearances that were not before possible.
Since this wasn't possible before, there won't be any effect
to existing builds, as param2 should always be '0'. The current
screwdriver mod also refuses to rotate and alter param2, so this is
safe to enable from now on.
Personally, since these are all *crafted* nodes to begin with, it
should be apparent that they can be rotated to begin with, but I can
see people may disagree from a simplicity perspective. It also may
affect param2 usage that other mods rely on, although I'm not aware
of any mods that do this.
Allow water to turn cobble slab and stairs to turn into mossy versions.
There is no crafting recipe for mossy stairs and mossy slabs, the
stair/slab API has been modified to allow for a recipeitem that
is `nil`, which will omit adding a crafting recipe for these two
items. The API documentation is updated.
The slabs and stairs will turn mossy when water is adjacent, just like
cobblestone. You can either farm mossy versions by placing them in
water for a while, then collecting them, or run water over your craft.
Mese texture is a classic-mese-yellow version
of celeron55's texture used in MTv0.4.0
Add missing texture credits for mese crystal
and mese crystal fragment
Each sapling is given a single node timer that is between
2 and 4 days of game play time (40-80 minutes). If you walk out
of the zone, and come back later, the tree will always grow
to full if the timer has elapsed.
Because trees.lua is all functions, it needs to be parsed before
nodes.lua, since that references some of its functions. Hence,
change the order of parsing here. Otherwise saplings would not
grow to full.
Adds a minor helper function that allows efficient retrieval of
several inventories from a node inventory. We use this helper to
quickly retrieve the items in chests, vessel shelves, book shelves
and furnaces, and return these with the nodes itself to the TNT caller.
The TNT caller then performs the entity physics, and we don't need
to do anything else.
We disable TNT doing anything with bones.
We expose a bug in the code that drops the items - metadata was lost
entirely. This patch corrects that by properly copying the metadata
and creating the drops list inclusive metadata.
This changes how dirt blocks turn to dirt_with -grass, -dry_grass
or -snow.
Previously, dirt that was sunlit would turn to dirt_with_grass no
matter what, but this happened without any context, so you could
get green patches of dirt_with_grass in the middle of a savannah or
even desert.
Dirt no longer turns to covered dirt unless it's within 1 node from
another dirt_with_grass or dirt_with_dry_grass or dirt_with_snow.
This makes dirt_with_grass "growback" a lot slower, since it now only
happens on the edges, but it retains the context nicely now.
If there is any dirt with a grass or dry grass plant, or snow on top,
and enough light, we'll convert it sporadically to dirt_with_grass
or dirt_with_dry_grass or dirt_with_snow.
This allows us to plant grass of our choice in a large dirt patch,
or in a region where otherwise that type of grass is not present.
This used to be done by 2 abms, but I've combined them in to a single
ABM that is ordered to run with maximum efficiency, solving for the
most common outcome first before attempting more complex checks.
This is technically "dirt with grass" that's just under a snow
cover, so in darkness the grass on these nodes will also die,
turning it into dirt.
This doesn't convert dirt_with_snow under snow.
I've created a modified B3Dexport.py version that automatically strips
the embedded texture link to external texture files. These links were
causing the engine to spew "can't find character.png" messages on the
console, but were harmless due to texture loading being done by the
client side and not through irrlicht.
I previously moved character.png to /textures/, which is wrong. I now
understand that character.png was in the same folder as character.blend
simply to make blender load the texture from the embedded linkage
automatically. Nothing more, nothing less.
Subsequently the character.png file should just sit in convenience
in the /models/ folder with the blend file, and not in the textures
file. This patch moves it back. And yes, minetest does load the
character.png from this path.
The access privilege allows players that have it to bypass protection
on locked doors/trapdoors, chests and bones.
The priv also allows bypassing any minetest.is_protected() check,
including digging nodes and placing them. It is meant for world
moderators to clean up and fix map issues.
Original patch by red-001. Split up and rebased/rewritten by sofar.
This patch requires https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/3800
This changes the drawtype of fences to NDT_CONNECTED nodebox drawtype.
These nodes are drawn by the client with the needed connections on
the fly as the scene is drawn. There is no logic needed by mods to
modify the nodes.
These fences connect to (1) other fences, (2) planks and (3) tree
trunks, but nothing else. They do not connect to stone, dirt, wool,
etc. This is done by the "connects_to" parameter, which takes groups
and node names.
Due to the way textures are wrapped, we can make these nodes look a
lot better by giving them a special tile.
This change requires minetest/minetest#3503.
Books still don't wrap long lines of text properly so until this has been sorted out I suggest reverting back to a previous working formspec which lets players read books properly until a fix is found (and maybe scrollbars added to texarea's). Also adding a recipe to blank written books.
These sounds were perceived to be too loud in the
game. I've lowered them significantly but they remain
plenty audible. The dig sounds were very loud as well
so I toned them down as well.
Issue #811 - new gravel texture needed.
This texture was Gambits' PixelBOX gravel light texture. Gambit
posted that his texture pack is WTFPL:
- https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4990&start=50#p141196
I've made significant modifications to this texture:
- slightly rotated and rolled some sections of pixels
- minor burn/dodge some pixels to keep high contrast
- removed lineair repeating effects
- etc.
Attribution is added back to Gambit. Thanks.
Both the standing and sitting animations had misplaced curve
cusps that caused the end part of the animation to wiggle the
feet slightly back and forward.
I've fixed both animations parts and re-exported. Verified in-game
with multiplayer that everything was indeed fixed.
Spread ABM intervals evenly across 1 to 16 seconds
16s ensures no nodes are missed when player walks past
Adjust chance values to compensate, for identical action rates
Combine lavacooling ABMs into one, return to chance = 1
Grass growth: add 'neighbors = "air"' to avoid
processing the thousands of underground dirt nodes
Grass death: Reduce action rate to that of grass growth
Fire: Use chance = 1 for flame extinguishing
and flame removal when mod is disabled
Node timers are higher precision and a better guarantee
of happening at regular intervals, whereas ABM's may be
postponed, cancelled or missed if a player is too far.
The largest benefit is that once the furnace is done
cooking, no more ABM's are fired - the timer is stopped
instead and no more events are created until items
are put in the furnace.
This patch is larger due to the migration of the timer
function and indentation change as a result of the somewhat
reduced complexity. I've tested with several furnaces and
this works correctly and behavior is not affected, although
people may find that their furnaces now work more
regularly.
If you place several furnaces next to eachother, you will
still find all furnace timers firing exactly at the same
time. This is a bug in core that should not coalesce node
timers at second intervals.
This converts the call to minetest.register() for the default
fence node, so it can be called by other mods to quickly
setup other fences.
Since this creates an API, insert it into the game_api.txt.
The api looks like minetest.register(name, {def}), and has two
uncommon fields: "texture" and "material". Any normal nodedef
property can be passed through, except "drawtype". The "fence"
group will always be added.
The default fence recipe is modified to be as follows:
wood, stick, wood
wood, stick, wood
This recipe yields 4 fence nodes.
This allows us to create according recipes for acacia, pine,
aspen, and junglewood fences without adding new stick types:
pine wood, stick, pine wood
pine wood, stick, pine wood
This is a from-scratch implementation, written by heart but inspired
by (#665 - Add many wooden fences).
Stick and fences nodes are named in a consistent way.
Adds a birch-like tree to the default_game. Aspen was chosen on
purpose instead of birch, as several birch tree mods already exist
and choosing a different name avoids any conflicts.
Schematics were made for both normal and sapling version, assuring
saplings will not be able to grief. The shape of the Aspen is "fanning
out at the top" and provides an easy tree to walk under, but still a
somewhat thick cover. The Aspen trunk is 4 to 6 blocks tall, with up
to three layers of leaves on top, making it slightly taller than an
Apple tree, but shorter than a Pine tree, which provides a good blend.
Textures were painted from scratch, except tree_top and _wood
variants, which are color modified versions of the pine_wood
variants. Appropriate licenses have been chosen for the new textures.
The leaf texture is light enough to contrast other trees, but dark
enough to offset against our light default grass color. The leaves
are drawn in the typical minetest default fashion with plenty of
transparancy, but enough definition to suggest that you're seeing
something that looks like leaves. The placement of leaves in the
schematic also suggests the top of the tree is sparse and you can
see the sky through the leaves.
Sapling texture is both traditional and different, with lush green
leaves and a well-defined stem, but slightly stick-like and skinny,
as these plants tend to grow up first, then out.
Add fallen Aspen logs. We make these logs a minimum of 2 blocks long,
and up to 3. This allows us to make these logs a place where both
red and brown mushrooms can be found, to these may be attractive to
players. However, the spawn rate for these has been reduced a lot
compared to the other logs, to account for the scarcity of Aspen.
Add stairs, slabs for these wood types as well.
Mapgen will place these trees in deciduous forests only, but in
a way that the biome is a range between entirely Apple trees, and
mostly entirely Aspen trees, with a bias to Apple trees. To make
fallen logs somewhat correlated with trees, we modify the planting
of Apple trees and logs to use perlin noise and not fill ratio,
otherwise you'd always end up with Apple logs in Aspen tree areas,
which would be suspicious. There still is a bit of a mix.
We can vary the landscape a bit more by placing "fallen logs"
around the various forests. These decorations are quite fast
and will provide some gameplay value but are still more rare
than the corresponding trees, so they don't provide free
materials.
I've manually put the schematic as lua tables since these log
schematics are only 8 blocks. We vary the log lengths between
1 and 3 blocks by making the end blocks have a lower chance
of appearing.
Amount is varied by fill_ratio, except for acacia trees where
we reduce the scale, so that acacia logs show up near places with
acacia trees consistently.
Mushrooms are placed optionally on each log. We can't place
two different mushrooms on a log, so instead we opt to place
brown mushrooms on oak/appletree logs, brown mushrooms on
jungletree logs, and red mushrooms on pine logs. No mushrooms
are placed on acacia logs, as they occur in a dry biome,
savannah, and this adds a bit of biome diversity.
Combine any written book with an empty book to copy it. The
copy is in player hands when using, and the original is put
back on the crafting grid and can be directly copied again.
All ownership and metadata is retained, so the copy of the book
is as writable as the original is, or isn't.
Since written books are quite different from empty books, the
visual clue that they are different items is really needed in-game.
I've added a "clasp" or "belt-with-buckle" like element to the
png from default_book, keeping them very similar but also
immediately recgnizably different.
I added the new texture to blockmen's license list since it's
obviously derivative of his work.
The PNG was run through a minimizer/optimizer to save space.
The fixing of low density decorations allows returning to
sidelen 16 for acacia trees and cacti, previously sidelen
80 was required for low density decorations to appear
Also use sidelen 16 instead of 8 for mgv6 papyrus
