Several mistakes were made past where the stream was expected to raise
the EOF flag when reaching the end of stream. That is incorrect. The
flag is only raised if the current read operation fails.
This commit unifies all istream compatibility code to use 'canRead'
for reliable EOF detection. An exception is now thrown when a
value cannot be read completely (e.g. missing bytes).
Version comments are added for easier backtracing.
Some games provide users with enough freedom to create items
with metadata longer than 64KB, preventing this from causing
issues is on them but we'll still do the minimum not to abort
the server if this happens.
This commit clarifies the maximal length of the serialized strings.
It will avoid accidental use of serializeString() when a larger string can be expected.
Removes unused Wide String serialization functions
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.
* Add no_static_save property to luaentites to not save them statically.
This allows for temporary objects that would get deleted anyway as soon as they are loaded again without the static saving overhead.
* Use positive meaning for static_save object property
* Invert meaning also for the LUA parameter
Note: getboolfield() does not change &result when field does not exist, so it defaults to the default value in the header file, which is 'true'.
* Extend push_object_properties()
The 'glow' value is added to the ambient light value.
Negative 'glow' disables light's effect on object colour, for faking
self-lighting, UI-style entities, or programmatic colouring in mods.
Adds the possibility to colorize item stacks based on their metadata.
In the item/node definition you can specify palette (an image file)
and color (fallback color if the item has no palette or metadata).
Then you can add palette_index to the metadata.
Dropped itemstacks with different colors do not merge.
