This is a major speedup for large mesecon machines / structures.
Force-loaded areas are stored in a file to be persistent over server
reboots. By default, areas are unloaded after 10 minutes (600s) without
usage, this can be customized with the mesecon.forceload_timeout
setting. Please turn max_forceloaded_blocks up for better performance.
Settings can now be retrieved by mesecon.setting(<name>, <default>) and can be modified without
editing the source code by adding the setting to minetest.conf
For instance, you can add mesecon.blinky_plant_interval = 0.5 to minetest.conf in order to
increase the blinking speed.
Rewrite the blinky plant with nodetimers.
Fixes #161
flexibility and because it was never inteded to be OOP in the first
place.
mesecon.receptor_on and mesecon.receptor_off are provided by wrappers
(mesecon:receptor_on/off) for compatibility, but will be removed. Mod
programmers that use mesecons: Please update!
Also, fix microcontroller polluting the global namespace and remove some
deprecated stuff.
large machines.
It also makes the wires.lua code easier to understand and more
maintainable. In case any other mod depends on
mesecon:update_autoconnect, please update it to use
mesecon.update_autoconnect. This should also fix some other minor bugs.
Please report bugs if this commit creates new ones.
This commit changes wire looks and removes some unneccesary textures.
This makes effectors nearer to the source of the action (the receptor) update first.
This defines behaviour for this piston circuit: http://i.imgur.com/9Pp2Mzb.png
And defines, that this memory circuit does not work from this direction: http://i.imgur.com/jJn0aFh.png
But it will work when using the switch from the other side: http://i.imgur.com/nvw0oZB.png
Only if two effectors have the same distance, there is nothing we can do about it, behaviour is not defined.
"Distance" is determined by the stack size of recursions in turnon / turnoff.
Priorities are between 0 (lowest) and 1 (highest).
