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.
This allows us to preserve mgv6 ore distribution while giving us the freedom
to alter ore distribution for other mapgens.
Other mapgens are larger scale and have 3D noise tunnels which make vertical
travel easier, so ores can be deeper.
Other mapgens have registered biomes which allows us to limit ores to certain
biomes.
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.
Alter the wooden trapdoor side texture, replacing the white area with a
repetition of the wood pixels.
It is now consistent with the steel trapdoor side texture.
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.
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.
Flora is converted to dry shrub in desert sand and silver sand.
No conversion in sand to preserve sand dune grasses.
Dry shrubs do not spread so this conversion, used by players, is the
only way to generate them.
Replace possibly trademarked artwork with royalty free and
OK for commercial use artwork.
The Pup appears by default but does not alias the Nyan Cat nodes
away. For that you will have to enable the setting. A settingtypes.txt
is provided to make that really easy. This allows people to get
an out-of-tree mod and not have their Nyan nodes disappear.
The mod can also be disabled entirely this way for those who don't
want it.
There's some eatser eggs in here as well. Instead of making the
nodes burnable, they are edible, and make you bark and howl. And
perhaps something else too.
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).
Commit c68b8274fe 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.
- Allow rotation of wallmounted nodeboxes (signs) since they are
now rotating properly.
- Instead of testing `ndef` several times, do it once, correctly.
- Simplify exception logic for nodes that have `on_rotate` set.
- For simplicity, return itemstack, always.
- Remove a useless nil check.
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
Allows rotating things like signs and torches. Axis rotation
rotates over all 6 faces, face rotation flips upside down to
flat on floor only, and of course in the 4 horizontal directions.
Made the code a bit more modular to account for different rotation
schemes. Should be easier to extend from here on to other needs,
and the functions can be reused by other mods for convenience.
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.
