Games often and increasingly do not use this mapgen alias, as it
is only required for Mapgen V6. Such games were triggering the
recently added error message.
Even if this mapgen alias was defined, dirt nodes placed under a
wide trunk were inconsistent with biomes that do not use dirt
surface nodes.
Place trunk nodes below a wide trunk instead of 'mapgen_dirt'.
On sloping ground, the trunk then extends down to the surface,
instead of the surface rising up to meet the trunk. This looks
more natural and does not alter the terrain.
Floatland structure is vertically-compressed 3D noise.
Uses a lacunarity of 1.618 (the golden ratio) for high quality
noise.
Floatlands appear between user-settable Y limits, with smooth
tapering at each limit.
Simple user-settable density adjustment.
Shadow propagation is disabled in and just below floatlands, no
shadows are cast on the world surface.
Can be reconfigured to create a solid upper world layer between
the Y limits, lakes/seas can be optionally added to this.
ServerEnvironment is a huge class with many accessors. In various places it's not needed
Remove it to reduce the ServerEnvironment view.
Idea here is to reduce size of some of our objects to transport lightweight managers and permit easier testing
Pathfinder is now tied to a generic map, not a ServerMap, it can be
ported to client
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

Low-disruption first step towards removing the hardcoded cave liquid
code. Since MT 5.0.0 cave liquids can be defined and located by
biome definitions instead.
In games that do not yet use biome definitions to define and locate
cave liquids (MTGame does), lava will now appear below
y = water_level - 256 instead of below 'lava depth' (usually y = -256).
Therefore no change in most mapgens if using the default 'lava depth'.
Previously, the only way to disable the 3D noise tunnels was to set
'cave width' > 1.0, however doing so did not disable the very intensive
noise calculations or the generation loop.
All the other types of cave generation (randomwalk caves, caverns)
can already be independently and completely disabled.
This feature is now needed more because the small randomwalk caves are
now available for use as an alternative to the 3D noise tunnels.
Add mapgen parameters to set the range of the random number of
randomwalk caves per mapchunk, and to set the proportion that are
flooded with liquids.
Default values are, for now, unchanged from the previous hardcoded
values.
Add parameters to allow small randomwalk caves
Disabled by default for now as they have never been present in the
non-mgv6 mapgens.
This value reduces how far randomwalk caves can extend into the
mapchunk padding, to avoid 'out of voxelmanip' cave nodes which cause
flattened cave walls.
Testing shows that a value of 2 (instead of 10) is enough to make
'out of area' nodes extremely rare.
Reducing this value results in a higher chance of overlap and
connection with caves of neighbour mapchunks.
While preserving the general character of dungeon structure.
Slightly increase the range of standard room horizontal size, while
preserving the average horizontal size.
Return to classic maximum large room size of 16x16x16.
Make 1 in 4 dungeons have a 1 in 8 chance for each room being 'large',
making multiple large rooms possible for the first time.
Make 1 in 8 dungeons allow diagonal corridors, to make these a little
more common.
Make corridor width vary from 1 to 2, but forced to 2 if diagonal
corridors are allowed, to make them passable.
Add some comments.
Calculate 'i' inside 'y' loop to avoid 'i' and 'y' becoming
out of step due to the uses of 'continue'.
Simplify calculation of 'p2d' when coordinates are inverted.
Remove some unnecessary and unreliable 'index out of
voxelmanip' checks.
Move calculation of '&em' out of loops.
For 'Loop further down until not air' code, use y coordinate
to detect being out of voxelmanip, instead of checking index
which did not detect that.
Add and improve comments.
Indent the 'for (;; y--) {' loop.
Improve format and fix codestyle issues.
In MapgenV6::flowMud(), the previous implementation of coordinate
inversion caused the 2 inverted mudflow iterations (out of the 3
iterations) to not loop over the area, so only 1 non-inverted
iteration occurred.
Fix this bug but only iterate mudflow twice, as mapgen v6 has only
had 1 iteration for many years. There is now a good balance of 1
non-inverted iteration and 1 inverted iteration.
Update the profiler names to make more sense of what they actually represent
Move the profiler code from header to its source file
Use monospace font to align lines
Format the statistics line to align better with surrounding values
Refresh the profiler each 3 seconds (roughly)
Previously, this wrongly returned ground level (a position containing
a solid node) as spawn level.
Return ground level + 2 (+ 2 to spawn above biome 'dust' nodes).
Improve codestyle and make more consistent with generateTerrain().
v6 always last to discourage selection.
Special mapgens flat, fractal, singlenode, next to last. Of these, singlenode
last to discourage selection.
Of the remaining, v5 last due to age, v7 first due to being the default.
Re-add the random size range for large rooms.
Remove 'first_room_large' bool.
Add 'large_room_chance' parameter that can disable large rooms,
specify 1 large room, or specify a chance for large rooms.
If 1 or a chance is specified, the first generated room is large,
to take advantage of the intersection checks that are done for the
1st room only.
Move 'num_dungeons' to 'DungeonParams'.
Add new parameter 'num_rooms' to replace 'rooms_min' and 'rooms_max',
so that the mapgen has complete control over the number of rooms.
Add new bool 'first_room_large' so that the mapgen chooses this
instead of a hardcoded 1 in 4 chance.
Add new parameter 'room_size_large' to replace 'room_size_large_min'
and 'room_size_large_max', so that the mapgen has complete control
over this.
Biome-defined dungeon nodes was added as a feature to MT 5.0.0.
So now remove most of the hardcoded dungeon node code that assumes a
game has stone, sandstone, desert stone, and no other stone types.
If biome-defined dungeon nodes are not found, dungeon nodes fall back
to the 'cobble' mapgen alias if present, if not present they fall back
to biome-defined 'stone'.
Remove now-unnecessary mapgen aliases from MapgenBasic. Non-mgv6 games
now only need to define 3 to 5 mapgen aliases.
Document dungeon parameters.
Make c_lava_source fallback to c_water_source as both are used as cave
liquids.
Rivers are disabled by default and will not be added to existing worlds.
Rewrite getSpawnLevelAtPoint() to be simpler and more consistent with
generateTerrain().
Add user-settable noise parameters for dungeon density to each mapgen,
except V6 which hardcodes this noise parameter.
Move the calculation of number of dungeons generated in a mapchunk out
of dungeongen.cpp and into mapgen code, to allow mapgens to generate
any desired number of dungeons in a mapchunk, instead of being forced
to have number of dungeons determined by a density noise.
This is more flexible and allows mapgens to use dungeon generation to
create custom structures, such as occasional mega-dungeons.
This allows games to specify biome cave liquids and avoid the old
hardcoded behaviour, but preserves the ability to have multiple
cave liquids in one biome, such as lava and water.
When multiple cave liquids are defined by the biome definition,
make each entire cave use a randomly chosen liquid, instead of
every small cave segment using a randomly chosen liquid.
Plus an optimisation:
Don't place nodes if cave liquid is defined as 'air'
It turns out there is no need to return the new value and
preserve the old one in random_turn, the procedure can be
made to modify the value in-place. This saves quite a bunch
of parameter and return value copying.
Like randomwalk caves, preserve nodes that have 'is_ground_content = false',
to avoid dungeons that generate out beyond the edge of a mapchunk destroying
nodes added by mods in 'register_on_generated()'.
Issue discovered by, and original PR by, argyle77.
Shorter, simpler, clearer and more consistent with other mapgens,
while preserving functionality.
Base terrain shape is unchanged.
With the 'vary river depth' option disabled, river surface level
is unchanged.
Behaviour of the 4 heat/humidity/river depth options is very
slightly changed due to bugfixes and code cleanup (the mapgen is
'unstable').
Apply heat and humidity gradients above water_level instead of
above y = 0.
Previously, when using 'place on vmanip' to add a schematic to a
lua voxelmanip, if part of the schematic was outside the voxelmanip
volume, the outside part would often appear in a strange place
elsewhere inside the voxelmanip instead of being trimmed off.
This was due to the out-of-bounds check checking the index.
A position outside the voxelmanip can have an index that satisfies
'0 <= index <= voxelmanip volume', causing the node to be placed
at a strange position inside the voxelmanip.
Use 'vm->m_area.contains(pos)' instead.
Move index calculation to later in the code to optimise.
