Works by detecting a collision while moving forward and then
simulating a jump. If the simulated jump is more successful,
an artificial jump key press is injected in the client.
Includes setting and key change GUI element for enabling and
disabling this feature.
Make tunnels wider and use the noise parameters of most other mapgens.
All other underground features are already identical to all other
non-mgv6 mapgens, this final change modernises and improves the tunnels.
* Fix textarea formspec documentation
The label is shown and the background isn't
* Document the missing gamma correction when generating mip maps
* Remove duplicate text (such as size parameter descriptions)
Add 2 new mapgen flags to make river depth variation and humidity drop
with altitude independently optional, instead of both being enabled by
the 'humid rivers' flag.
Simplify and clarify related code by removing a low priority
optimisation regarding 't_heat'.
Remove unnecessary optimisation bools and use spflags directly instead.
Improve and fix documentation in settingtypes.txt.
A few minor code cleanups.
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.
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.
The following languages exist in Minetest PO folder were missing from the selection menu:
- dv (Dhivehi)
- ms (Malay)
- sl (Slovenian)
- sv (Swedish)
- sw (Swahili)
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.
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.
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.
* 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
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.
* [CSM] Add flavour limits controlled by server
Server send flavour limits to client permitting to disable or limit some Lua calls
* Add limits for reading nodedefs and itemdefs
* flavour: Add lookup node limits
* Merge get_node_or_nil into get_node.
Sending fake node doesn't make sense in CSM, just return nil if node is not available for any reason
* Add node range customization when noderange flavour is enabled (default 8 nodes)
* Limit nodes range & disable chat message sending by default
* Bump protocol version
As with 'large_cave_depth', lava depth was previously a fixed y value and
therefore incompatible with the ability to shift terrain vertically.
Add 'lava_depth' mapgen parameter to mgflat, mgfractal, mgv5, mgv7.
The value cannot be fixed because we can shift terrain vertically.
This also makes these mapgens consistent with mgflat and mgvalleys which
have 'large_cave_depth' parameters.
- Allow lua to chose whatever directories or files can be selected
- Fix selecting directories
- Rename dialog to `guiPathSelectMenu` from `guiFileSelectMenu`
- Rename lua function for opening the menu from `show_file_open_dialog` to `show_path_select_dialog`
- Remove duplicate code and fix code style.
Related changes
- fix `clang-format` whitelist.
- Regenerate minetest.conf.example
These code be generated by CSM, a modded client or just copy and pasted by the player.
Changes
- Update configuration example and setting translation file.
- Remove colour codes before logging chat.
- Add setting to remove colour codes before processing the chat.
* [CSM] Add send_chat_message and run_server_chatcommand API functions
* Add client-side chat message rate limiting
* Limit out chat queue size
* [CSM] Add minetest.clear_out_chat_queue API function and .clear_chat_queue chatcommand
* Last fixes/cleanups before merge
* 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.
Cache size is configurable by the meshgen_block_cache_size (default 20 MB).
New profiler stats:
- MeshUpdateQueue MapBlock cache hit %
- MeshUpdateQueue MapBlock cache size kB
Removes one type of stutter that was seen on the client when received MapBlocks
were being handled. (the "MeshMakeData::fill" stutter)
Kind of related to at least #5239
Originally preceded by these commits, now includes them:
- Move the mesh generator thread into src/mesh_generator_thread.{cpp,h}
- mesh_generator_thread.cpp: Update code style
- MeshUpdateThread: Modify interface to house a different implementation: Actual functionality will be changed by next commits.
- MeshMakeData: Add fillBlockData() interface (so that caller can fill in stuff from eg. a MapBlock cache)
Adds uniform undersampling for the 3D rendered scene. GUI elements
are not undersampled, resulting in better playability for users
with low-performance platforms with readable fonts and formspecs.
The undersampling setting can be set to 0 (disabled), 2, 3, 4 pixels
which translates into a resolution reduction of x4, x9 or x16, and
is significant.
* Add joystick type detection (with joystick_type setting to override it)
* Fix multiple joysticks from interfering with each other by only reading from one (add joystick_id setting)
* Add support for Xbox controllers
Add to MapgenBasic for use by multiple mapgens.
Add to mgv5 and mgv7, enabled by default.
Similar to mgvalleys caverns but half the scale.
Parameters for upper y limit, distance caverns taper to full size, and
noise threshold (full cavern size).
As with mgvalleys caverns are generated first and classic caves are
disabled in any mapchunk containing a cavern, to avoid excessive
spreading volumes of liquids.
This also avoids floating blobs of liquid where a large classic cave
has overgenerated out into a neighbouring previously-generated mapchunk.
The setting limits map generation but affects nothing else.
Add 'mapgen_limit' to global mapgen parameters.
Move 'blockpos_over_mapgen_limit()' to the only place it is called
from: map.cpp.
Allow teleportation to any part of the world even if over the set
mapgen limit.
Simplify the reading of this limit in mgvalleys.
Remove the 'map_generation_limit' setting.
We want to reduce the chance that we get lots and lots of node
timers all happening once a second, because we're better off doing
small bits of work as they are available.
Reducing this to 0.2 seconds will greatly reduce the total amount
of nodetimers that elapse at the same instance, while not effecting
total work load. This results in a far better chance of the server
keeping up with work loads.
The default of 15 is unchanged.
7 degrees is x10 magnification which is common for binoculars.
Alter hardcoded limits in camera.cpp:
Minimum 7 degrees.
Maximum 160 degrees to match upper limits in advanced settings.
When the new set of biomes was added in MTGame the 'spread' for heat
and humidity noise parameters was increased to 1000, i forgot to update
settingtypes.txt and minetest.conf.
Remake the light_decode_table.
The table starts out without pre-filled in values since those
are always discarded by the code apparently. We calculate a
pseudo curve with gamma power function, and then apply a new
adjustment table.
The adjustment table is setup to make the default gamma of 2.2
look decent: not too dark at light level 3 or so, but too dark
at 1 and below to be playable. The curve is much smoother than
before and looks reasonable at the whole range, offering a
pleasant decay of light levels away from lights.
The `display_gamma` setting now actually does something logical:
the game is darker at values below 2.2, and brighter at values
above 2.2. At 3.0, the game is very bright, but still has a good
light scale. At 1.1 or so, the bottom 5 light levels are virtually
black, but you can still see enough detail at light levels 7-8,
so the range and spread is adequate.
I must add that my monitor is somewhat dark to begin with, since
I have a `hc` screen that doesn't dynamic range colors or try to
pull up `black` pixels for me (it is tuned for accurate color and
light levels), so this should look even better on more dynamic
display tunings.
As mgv7 is now the default mapgen i re-checked its tunnel width on request,
discovered they needed to be wider, and have made this change.
This commit widens the identical 3D noise tunnels in the other mapgens in
exactly the same way.
Move static object storage force-delete message from errorstream to
warningstream.
Increase 'max objects per block' setting to 64.
Add missing spaces in warning code.
Disable the ability to connect to old servers by default to
improve password security.
If people still want to connect to old (0.4.12 and earlier)
servers, they can flip the send_pre_v25_init setting.
Add the ability to detect if we've tried to connect
to a server which only supports the pre v25 init protocol,
and show an apropriate error message. Most times the error
will already be catched at the serverlist level, the
detection mechanism only acts as last resort, because the
"Connection timed out" error message that would be shown
otherwise would be very confusing.
Automatic "fixing" of this condition is not desired,
as it would allow for downgrade attacks.
As already 161 of the 167 servers on the serverlist
support the new srp based auth protocol (> 96%),
the breakage should be minimal.
Follow up of commit
af30183124 "Add option to not send pre v25 init packet"
Also change the pessimistic assumption of masterlist
server versions to optimistic, in order to avoid buggy
behaviour (favourites not in the serverlist would be
denied to connect to, etc).
Use the setting "profiler.load" to enable profiling.
Other settings can be found in settingtypes.txt.
* /profiler print [filter] - report statistics to in-game console
* /profiler dump [filter] - report statistics to STDOUT and debug.txt
* /profiler save [format [filter]] - saves statistics to a file in your worldpath
* txt (default) - same treetable format as used by the dump and print commands
* csv - ready for spreadsheet import
* json - useful for adhoc D3 visualizations
* json_pretty - line wrapped and intended json for humans
* lua - serialized lua table of the profile-data, for adhoc scripts
* /profiler reset - reset all gathered profile data.
This can be helpful to discard of any startup measurements that often spike during loading or to get more useful min-values.
[filter] allows limiting the output of the data via substring/pattern matching against the modname.
Note: Serialized data structures might be subject to change with changed or added measurements.
csv might be the most stable, due to flat structure.
Changes to the previous version include:
* Updated and extended API monitoring
* Correct calculation of average (mean) values (undistorted by idleness)
* Reduce instrumentation overhead.
* Fix crashes related to missing parameters for the future and occasional DIV/0's.
* Prevent issues caused by timetravel (overflow, timejump, NTP corrections)
* Prevent modname clashes with internal names.
* Measure each instrumentation individually and label based on registration order.
* Labeling of ABM's and LBM's for easier classification.
Giving several ABM's or LBM's the same label will treat them as one.
Missing labels will be autogenerated based on name or registration order.
* Configurable instrumentation and reporting. Skip e.g. builtin if you don't need it.
* Profile the profiler to measure instrumentation overhead.
It seems that various different devices register as
Joysticks on linux, and their presence has caused
lots of confusion amongst minetest users.
Therefore, disable the joystick feature.
Closes #4261
Closes #4221
Reduce spread from 96 to primes 61 and 67 (either side of 64)
Prime spreads help to keep 3D noise periodic features unaligned
'cave width' 0.2 to preserve tunnel width
Reduce octaves to 3 to improve network structure
