If there is no group:soil node found below, do not replace flora with
dry shrub, this was breaking flower pots and other mods.
Originally, flora would only turn to dry shrub if in desert sand.
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).
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.
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.
Usage and tool break sounds were played at 'pointed_thing.above' which
can be nil if not pointing at anything or at an entity. This caused
sounds to be played to all players on a server non-positionally.
Fallback to player pos for sounds if 'pointed_thing.above' is nil.
Replace 'pt' variable with 'pointed_thing' in 'register_tool'.
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.
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.
Plantlike drawtype no longer applies 'visual scale' twice, so now we
use the actual scale factor desired.
Remove unnecessary 'visual_scale = 1.0' lines.
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.
Handbrake was barely noticeable and fairly useless.
Equalisng with brake rail deceleration makes it more intuitive to use
and easier to judge stopping distance.
Previous code:
Used looped sounds without attaching them to objects or playing direct
to players.
The looped sounds are not 'stopped' when players leave the area.
These may be causing the bug where sounds are heard at extreme
distances.
Entering a world with already present flames results in silent flames.
Sounds are often played at a large number of points in a 6 node lattice.
A large fire is reported to cause a high load, disabling the sound code
is reported to help this.
New code:
Optional flame sound to not interfere with ambience mods.
Permanent flame now has sound.
For multiple flames, sound is positioned at the centre of all flames, and
has volume determined by flame number.
The original freesound 'large fire' recording was used to create 3 sounds
that play at random for a non-repetitive effect. At low volume it is
suitable for small fires.
Original sound files and sound function (as an empty function) kept
temporarily to reduce disruption.
Reduce gain of flame extinguish sound.
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.
Boats:
Previously, boats were not added to inventory in creative mode, fix.
In creative mode multiple boats will not be added to inventory.
Add comment.
Carts:
Set speed to 2 if punched by a non-player, to match the effect of a
player punch.
Add comments.
This is partly a workaround for a bug.
Climbs with continuous power rails were failing often due to
unexplained losses of speed leading to a reversal of direction.
The lack of acceleration on climbs meant that lost speed was not
regained.
Keeping cart speed at maximum on climbs helps reduce the chance of
reversals.
This also allows players to slowly accelerate up to full speed on a
climb without needing a horizontal run-up to reach full speed first.
It may not be possible to build the horizontal sections needed, or,
if players are replacing a previous carts mod their track
constructions, bridges, tunnels etc. will often not have the
horizontal sections needed.
Players will also sometimes need to place and enter a cart on a slope
and be able to climb.
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.
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.
'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.
River water needs to be 'liquid_renewable = false' to avoid a mess caused by
spreading of sources, however picking it up with a bucket then creates
a hole in the river. Allow a 'force-renew' of the source node if it has a
source neighbour.
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.
The collision box still extended into a neighbouring empty node, causing
falling node objects to collide but not transform back into normal nodes.
Completes the fix started in a previous similar commit.
Part 1: All mods except default and xpanes.
Add license.txt files.
Add missing README.txt files.
Check and update copyright years for all contributors.
Improve text format and make more consistent.
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.
Dig time is modified according to difference (leveldiff) between tool
'maxlevel' and node 'level'. Digtime is divided by the larger of leveldiff
and 1. In creative mode, where the hand is redefined to have maxlevel 3,
this results in higher level nodes taking significantly longer to break.
Now, to speed up digging, hand 'maxlevel' and 'digtime' have been
increased such that nodes of differing levels have an insignificant
effect on digtime. Dig time for all nodes is now identical to that of, for
example, dirt nodes.
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'.
