Also adds nether.register_wormhole_node(), moving the wormhole node template into portal_api.lua, and allowing wormhole nodes with custom post_effect_color to be more easily created.
When a surface level was known, only the volume_is_natural check was being performed, this fixes that.
Also fixes bug where LBM didn't start the timer of example portals that had been disabled.
Allows portal ignite to repair a stopped timer.
Other misc cleanup - paramat's new Floatlands won't have lakes so I removed that from the flavortext.
give nether_portal_circular.mts a flat floor - the new nether_portal_circular.mts allows its bottom nodes to be sunk into the ground.
Example portal basic behavior and book_of_portals_pagetext implemented.
Other changes are allowing portals corrupted by ABMs to be repaired, finding better ground level of surface portals.
UTF-8 with BOM crashes some systems according to 6551f5c120 comment, and there are several cases where Minetest is buggy with files that use CRLF line endings (though none I'm aware that affect these files), so strip CRs and BOM
This requires a cache-invalidation hack borrowed from cloudlands mod.
Also, null reference fixes in ensure_remote_portal_then_teleport and locate_or_build_portal, and minor improvements
32affba6 re-registered stairs which have already been registered 20 lines earlier in the code, and registered them as "brick" causing the netherbrick stairs to replace Minetest's default:brick stairs. The rest of 32affba6 was already unrolled in 7a0e52da, but the stairs bug remained.
Fix bug where ensure_remote_portal_then_teleport() converted its destination_wormholePos to an anchorPos to pass to locate_or_build_portal() which converted it back to an wormholePos. Bug occurred when local_orientation was assumed for the target orientation, which could lead to locate_or_build_portal() ending up with a reconstituted wormholePos rotated outside the portal frame, not find a portal frame, so build a new portal there, griefing the old one.
locate_or_build_portal() has been refactored to take a wormholePos instead of an anchorPos, removing the need to know the orientation of the target portal (which can't be obtained from the param2 when the target portal is unlit)
This is effectively a missing part to the change that made locate_or_build_portal() enforce that portals only link together in mutual pairs. As target portals that didn't need to be located or built we not being updated to link back to where the player travelled from.
Also
* implements events: on_run_wormhole, on_extinguish
* adds a lot of debug info
Currently proof of concept: Removes wormhole colour from .png texture and specifies it through MT API instead. The post_effect_color may call for registering a separate node per portal colour.
Palette 0 will have to be the traditional portal magenta (instead of 0 being black) for map compatibility with mod when colour was in the texture and not param2.
While it's rather cute having portals that share parts of their frame with other portals, the way the nether mod implemented portals means a node being part of more than one portal enables a family of bugs.
Igniting a portal now extinguishes any portal that was using nodes now taken by the newly ignited portal.
Allows dev and testing/debugging to focus on one (shape or behavior) without getting mixed up in the other, will also enable different portal shapes later on. Other adjustments:
* Reuse/reignite an existing portal or portal frame if there is one at the remote destination, rather than the area being overwritten by a slightly offset portal schematic.
* Create remote portals in a matching orientation to the local portal.
* Preserve player position & facing relative to portal when traveling through wormhole (even if portals are at 90°)
* Players no longer bounce several times after teleporting
* Player is not teleported until after the portal at the other end is confirmed/built
