4dir is like facedir, but only for 4 horizontal directions: NESW. It is identical in behavior to facedir otherwise. The reason why game makers would want to use this over facedir is 1) simplicity and 2) you get 6 free bits.
It can be used for things like chests and furnaces and you don't need or want them to "flip them on the side" (like you could with facedir).
color4dir is like colorfacedir, but you get 64 colors instead of only 8.
Sometimes you need to be able to do removal-related cleanup, such as removing files from disk, or entries from a database. staticdata obviously isn't suitable for large data. The data shouldn't be removed if the entity is unloaded, only if it is removed.
It's likely that these could be used trick mods into revealing the insecure
environment even if they do everything right (which is already hard enough).
Add API for mods to hook liquid transformation events
Without this API, there is no reliable way for mods to be
notified when liquid transform modifies nodes and mods are
forced to poll for changes. This allows mods to detect
changes to flowing liquid nodes and liquid renewal using
event-driven logic.
Replace on_auth_fail callback with more versatile on_authplayer
Better clarify account login process in Lua API documentation
Change initial timestamp for newly registered accounts to -1
Move LuaEntitySAO to a new dedicated file
Drop TestSAO (useless object)
Drop the old static startup initialized SAO factory, which was pretty useless.
This factory was using a std::map for 2 elements, now just use a simple condition owned by ServerEnvironment, which will be lightweight, that will also drop a one time useful test on each LuaEntitySAO creation. This should reduce server load on massive SAO creation
- Move the text segment below the 47-bit limit, needed for script_exception_wrapper which must be lightuserdata
- Replace CUSTOM_RIDX_SCRIPTAPI with full userdata
