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.
This makes development of new features easier, as documentation can automatically be updated on the website without modifying the website's code!
Every mod that has nodes in the mesecons modpack has a "doc" folder that contains subfolders with recipe, description and preview of the block. The website will discover which documentation is available
by reading the documentation.json file.
The LIGHT_MAX global is created in the legacy.lua file in the default
mod; it states that it's there for backwards compatibility, but it would
be better to reference the proper value inside the default table.
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.
Changes:
* Stops code after a certain number of instructions.
* Allows functions, due to instruction counting.
* Allows loops and goto with non-JIT Lua (LuaJIT doesn't count looping as an instruction, allowing infinite loops), due to instruction counting.
* Removes string matching functions as they can be slow.
* Adds some safe functions.
* Limits the amount of printing that can be done (to prevent console flooding).
* Code cleanup.
* More...
This is not exactly a fix for the issue, because extremely
large circuits (3000+ conductors) still won't work with this applied.
This simply aborts any execution if there is the danger of a stack overflow.
with comments. Also fixes a bug of lua- / microcontrollers not being updated when pushed by a
piston.
This could cause some bugs, even though I haven't found any while testing as it is a very core part of mesecons.
This introduces the ActionQueue, a new kind of MESECONS_GLOBALSTEP.
Circuits using delayers will now resume when restarting the server.
Also, large circuits should automatically resume if parts of them are
in unloaded chunks.
Old circuits e.g. using gates will not resume when mesecons is updated,
which means you have to restart them once. But after that, it should work
just like it used to.
This will fix a lot of stuff but may also introduce some new bugs.
So please report them!
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).
