ABM's are hardcoded to run every 1.0s, NodeTimers are hard coded to
run at every 1.0s. Block mgmt is running every 2.0sec.
However, these timers can be better tuned for both higher and lower
values by server owners. Some server owners want to, and have the
resources to send more packets per second to clients, and so they
may wish to send smaller updates sooner. Right now all ABM's are
coalesced into 1.0 second intervals, resulting in large send queues
to all clients. By reducing the amount of possible timers, one can
get a far better response rate and lower the perception of lag.
On the other side of the camp, some servers may want to increase
these values, which again isn't easily doable.
The global settings abm_interval and nodetimer_interval are set to
current values by default. I've tested with 0.2/0.5 type values
and noticed a greatly improved response and better scattering of
nodetimers, as well as enjoying not faceplanting into doors with
pressure plates anymore.
The legacy init packet (pre v25) sends information about the client's
password that a server could use to log in to other servers if the
username and password are the same. All the other benefits of SRP of
protocol v25 are missed if the legacy init packet is still sent during
connection creation.
This patch adds an option to not send the v25 init packet. Not sending
the v25 packet means breaking compat with pre v25 servers, but as the
option is not enabled by default, no servers are affected unless the
user explicitly flips the switch. More than 90% of the servers on the
serverlist support post v25 protocols.
The patch also fixes a bug with greying out of non compliant servers
being done wrongly, the min and max params were mixed.
Fix two bugs related to the reconnect feature
introduced by commit
3b50b2766a "Optional reconnect functionality"
1. Set the password to the stored one
Before, we have done the reconnect attempt with a
cleared password, so using the feature would only
work if you had an empty password.
Thanks to @orwell96 for reporting the bug.
2. Reset the reconnect_requested flag after its use
the_game only writes to the reconect_requested flag
if it sets it to true. It never sets it to false.
If the flag is not reset after its use, all "reset"s
to the main menu will look like the server had
requested a reconnect.
* No function overloading
* Adhere coding style and with method names following
lowercase_underscore_style
* Use std::string in external API, handling these is
much more fun
Don't excavate the overgenerated stone at node_max.Y + 1,
this creates a 'roof' over the tunnel, preventing light in
tunnels at mapchunk borders when generating mapchunks upwards.
1. Copy-paste error: properly test for back-connection.
In the case of two different connected nodebox types, we want to
assure that if A connects to B, that B also connects to A. This test
was accidentally not implemented correctly.
2. Clear the connects_to_ids before deserializing.
With each new connected node, the deserialization code added more
and more targets to the map, since the map wasn't cleared in between
deserialization steps. This caused e.g. wall blocks to connect to
things in the fence connects_to map.
NDT_CONNECTED attempts to connect to any side of nodes that it can
connect to, which is troublesome for FACEDIR type nodes that generally
may only have one usable face, and can be rotated.
We introduce a node parameter `connect_sides` that is valid for
any node type. If specified, it lists faces of the node (in "top",
"bottom", "front", "left", "back", "right", form, as array) that
connecting nodeboxes can connect to. "front" corresponds to the south
facing side of a node with facedir = 0.
If the node is rotatable using *simple* FACEDIR, then the attached
face is properly rotated before checking. This allows e.g. a chest
to be attached to only from the rear side.
We introduce a new nodebox type "connected", and allow these nodes to
have optional nodeboxes that connect it to other connecting nodeboxes.
This is all done at scenedraw time in the client. The client will
inspect the surrounding nodes and if they are to be connected to,
it will draw the appropriate connecting nodeboxes to make those
connections.
In the node_box definition, we have to specify separate nodeboxes for
each valid connection. This allows us to make nodes that connect only
horizontally (the common case) by providing optional nodeboxes for +x,
-x, +z, -z directions. Or this allows us to make wires that can connect
up and down, by providing nodeboxes that connect it up and down (+y,
-y) as well.
The optional nodeboxes can be arrays. They are named "connect_top,
"connect_bottom", "connect_front", "connect_left", "connect_back" and
"connect_right". Here, "front" means the south facing side of the node
that has facedir = 0.
Additionally, a "fixed" nodebox list present will always be drawn,
so one can make a central post, for instance. This "fixed" nodebox
can be omitted, or it can be an array of nodeboxes.
Collision boxes are also updated in exactly the same fashion, which
allows you to walk over the upper extremities of the individual
node boxes, or stand really close to them. You can also walk up
node noxes that are small in height, all as expected, and unlike the
NDT_FENCELIKE nodes.
I've posted a screenshot demonstrating the flexibility at
http://i.imgur.com/zaJq8jo.png
In the screenshot, all connecting nodes are of this new subtype.
Transparent textures render incorrectly, Which I don't think is
related to this text, as other nodeboxes also have issues with this.
A protocol bump is performed in order to be able to send older clients
a nodeblock that is usable for them. In order to avoid abuse of users
we send older clients a "full-size" node, so that it's impossible for
them to try and walk through a fence or wall that's created in this
fashion. This was tested with a pre-bump client connected against a
server running the new protocol.
These nodes connect to other nodes, and you can select which ones
those are by specifying node names (or group names) in the
connects_to string array:
connects_to = { "group:fence", "default:wood" }
By default, nodes do not connect to anything, allowing you to create
nodes that always have to be paired in order to connect. lua_api.txt
is updated to reflect the extension to the node_box API.
Example lua code needed to generate these nodes can be found here:
https://gist.github.com/sofar/b381c8c192c8e53e6062
The MainMenuManager set the console invisible when a
formspec opened over it, but didn't properly close it,
and the chat console never set itself visible again.
Since commit
3b50b2766a "Optional reconnect functionality"
there is a config option named ask_reconnect_on_crash.
It asks the client to reconnect to the server if the server crashed.
It has been implemeted and works, but due to a function parameter not
being passed it never showed effect. This patch adds the parameter
and fixes the bug.
Also fixes the `reconnect` option of minetest.request_shutdown being ignored.
I've written several experimental bits of code that revolve around the
need for a consistent calendar, but implementing one is extremely hard
in mods due to time changes and mods overriding core.get_timeofday(),
which will conflict.
The second part of the problem is that doing this from a mod requires
constant maintenance of a settings file.
An implementation in core is trivial, however, and solves all of
these problems at virtually no cost: No extra branches in server
steps, and a single branch when minetest.set_time_of_day(), which is
entirely reasonable.
We store the day_count value in env_meta.txt.
The use case is obvious: This change allows mods to create an actual
virtual calendar, or properly account for seasonal changes, etc..
We add a "/days" chatcommand that displays the current day count. No
permissions are needed. It can only retrieve the day count, not
modify it.
Lower water table where base humidity is low.
Alter heat and humidity to compensate for river humidity and altitude

Correct misuse of surface_max_y in generateTerrain.
Remove sand trails in the water at river mouths.
Remove river water below water_level.
Correct heat/humidity calculations where noises are less than zero.
Correct heightmap errors as much as possible.
Make humidity calculations more readable.
In the calculation of y_start,
when 'column height max' was large it caused
nmin.Y + max_height > nmax.Y - max_height
Now, in this situation y_start is set to the
midpoint between nmin.Y and nmax.Y
Limit y0 and y1 to between nmin.Y and nmax.Y,
otherwise index calculation, which has no checks for limits,
places them at unwanted locations in the voxelmanip
As stated in this forum thread [1], I noticed that there is a
2 second interval in which inventory changes are shown on the
client. @yyt16384 found the source of these 2 seconds:
m_nothing_to_send_pause_timer is set to 2.0 every time there
are no changes to make, but this timer is not reset when
SetBlockNotSent or setBlocksNotSent are invoked. So in worst
case, the changed block will be sent over 2 seconds too late.
With this change, changed inventories are updated almost
immediately, but it causes additional connection load.
This allows mods to perform both asynchronous and synchronous HTTP
requests. Mods are only granted access to HTTP APIs if either mod
security is disabled or if they are whitelisted in any of the
the secure.http_mods and secure.trusted_mods settings.
Adds httpfetch_caller_alloc_secure to generate random, non-predictable
caller IDs so that lua mods cannot spy on each others HTTP queries.
Previously you could steal a secure environment from a trusted mod by wrapping
request_insecure_environment with some code like this:
local rie_cp = minetest.request_insecure_environment
local stolen_ie
function minetest.request_insecure_environment()
local ie = rie_cp()
stolen_ie = stolen_ie or ie
return ie

Introduce a new contentfeatures version (8). When clients
connect using v27 protocol version, they can assume that
the tiledef.backface_culling is trustable, but if clients
connect to servers providing contentfeatures version 7,
then the v27 clients know that backface culling settings
provided by the server in tiledefs are bogus for mesh,
plantlike, firelike or liquid drawtype nodes.
thanks to hmmmm, est31, nerzhul.

clock_gettime() is a far better clock than gettimeofday().
Even better than clock_gettime() is that you can select either
CLOCK_MONOTONIC, or even CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW. These clocks offer
high precision time. And the _RAW variant will never roll back
due to NTP drift or daylight savings, or otherwise.
I've adjusted this code to select the right clock method auto-
matically based on what's available in the OS. This means that
if you're running a very old linux version, MacOS or other,
you will automatically get the best clocksource available.
I've tested all Linux clocksources by selectively compiling and
running a 10k+ timer test suite. In all cases I confirmed that
the 3 POSIX Linux clocksources worked properly, and were
selected properly.
I've modified the OS X compile path to use the high-res clock
source for all time functions, but I can't confirm it works or
that it compiles.
As for WIN32, I confirmed that the used clocksource is indeed
a Monotonic clocksource, so good news: that code section appears
to be exactly what it should be.
`errorstream` must not be overly verbose as clientside it is directly printed
onto the ingame chat window. These days, the serverlist can contain > 200k bytes,
so better print it to warningstream if the data buffer is too long.
Outdated servers are always sending tiledefs with culling
enabled no matter what, as the value was previously entirely
ignored.
To compensate, we must (1) detect that we're running against
an old server with a new client, and (2) disable culling for
mesh, plantlike, firelike and liquid draw types no matter what
the server is telling us.
In order to achieve this, we need to bump the protocol version
since we cannot rely on the tiledef version, and test for it
being older. I've bumped the protocol version, although that
should have likely happened in the actual change that introduced
the new backface_culling PR #3578. Fortunately that's only 2
commits back at this point.
We also explicitly test for the drawtype to assure we are not
changing the culling value for other nodes, where it should
remain enabled.
This was tested against various pub servers, including 0.4.13 and
0.4.12.
Fixes #3598
Backface culling is enabled by default for all tiles, as this
is how the lua parser initializes each tiledef. We revert to
always using the value from the tiledef since it is always
read and serialized.
Mods that wish to enable culling for e.g. mesh nodes, now can
specify the following to enable backface culling:
tiles = {{ name = "tex.png", backface_culling = true }},
Note the double '{' and use of 'name' key here! In the same
fashion, backface_culling can be disabled for any node now.
I've tested this against the new door models and this properly
allows me to disable culling per node. I've also tested this
against my crops mod which uses mesh nodes where culling needs
to be disabled, and tested also with plantlike drawtype nodes
where we want this to continue to be disabled.
No default setting has changed. The defaults are just migrated
from nodedef.cpp to c_content.cpp.
cloneMesh() has to use a switch in order to create a different
mesh buffer type depending on vertex type. (Credit: the new cloneMesh
was written by RealBadAngel.)
To avoid repetitive code, all other methods use getVertexPitchFromType()
to automatically adapt the indexing to the vertex type at runtime.
The pageflip mode requires a stereo quadbuffer, and a modern graphic
card. Patch tested with NVidia 3D Vision.
The mini-map is not drawn, but that's what is done for topbottom and
sidebyside modes as well.
Also most of the time the user would prefer the HUD to be off. That's
for the user to decide though, and toggle it manually.
Finally, the interocular distance (aka eye separation) is twice as much
as the "3d_paralax_strength" settings. I find this a strange design
decision. I didn't want to chance this though, since it's how the other
3d modes interpret this settings.
Previously, we assumed that reply->str was NULL
terminated. However, this turned out to be not true,
as users reported crashes in strlen connected to
where reply->str was appended to an std::string.
Use the method recomended by the docs, to read the
length separately.
Removing the target file on other platforms was enabled likely unintentionally
by commit 5f1f1151d3.
This may be the reason why there has been corruption of files on Linux on hard
shutdowns.
Previously I described the problem and this fix in issue #3084.
My commit
e2d54c9f92 "shutdown when requested from lua in singleplayer too"
broke minetest's feature to connect to servers. The client crashed
after the connection init was complete.
Thanks to @sofar for reporting the bug.
Fixes #3498.
If an `XDG_CACHE_HOME` can't be found or `RUN_IN_PLACE` is enabled,
`path_cache` is left at its default of `$PATH_USER/cache`
(at a time when `PATH_USER` is `..`), rather than being reset to
`$PATH_USER/cache` after `PATH_USER` has been properly set.
This allows other applications (e.g. minetestmapper) to interrogate
the database while minetest is running, without causing an almost
certain minetest crash.
This reverts commit f14e7bac54.
