Some GPUs cause visual bugs when mip-mapping is used with indexed textures
that use alpha. Because leaves are sometimes rendered opaque it is even
more important to keep these as RGBA to preserve the correct background
colour.
This code adds the key concept to minetest_game, and integrates it
with lockable nodes. Currently supported lockable items are the Steel
Door, the Steel Trapdoor, and the Locked Chest.
The goal of this modification is to introduce a fine-grained multi-
player permission system that is intuitive and usable without any
console or chat commands, and doesn't require extra privileges to
be granted or setup. Keys can also physically be conveyed to other
players, adding to gameplay and adding some personality that is
preferable to console commands or editing formspecs.
A skeleton key can be crafted with 1 gold ingot. Skeleton keys can
then be matched to a lockable node by right-clicking the skeleton
key on a lockable node, which changes the skeleton key to a "key".
Gold was chosen as it's currently a not-so very useful item, and
therefore it's likely that players have some, but aren't really
using it for any purpose.
This key can subsequently used by any player to open or access that
lockable node, including retrieving items from Locked Chests, or
putting items in them.
They key is programmed to fit only the particular locked node it is
programmed to. This is achieved by storing a secret value in both
key and locked node. If this secret value doesn't match, the key
will not open the locked node. This allows many keys to be created
for one chest or door, but a key will only fit one node ever. The
secrets are stored in node, and item meta for the key.
If a locked node is removed, all keys that opened it are no longer
valid. Even if a new door/chest is placed in exactly the same spot,
the old keys will no longer fit that node.
Keys can be smelted back in gold ingots if they are no longer useful.
The method of storing a secret in nodemeta and itemstackmeta is secure
as there is no way for the client to create new items on the server
with a particular secret metadata value. Even if you could possible
create such an itemstack on the client, the server does not ever read
itemstackmeta from a client package.
The patch adds an API that allows other nodes and nodes added by
mods to use the same keys as well. The method how to implement this
is described in game_api.txt. The mod should add 2 callbacks to it's
node definition. Example code is given.
Textures are from PixelBOX, thanks to Gambit.
This is all the working code from SmallJoker's boost_cart, poored into
a more suitable form for minetest_game.
- Mesecons and moreores stuff was removed entirely.
- Textures were all renamed and moved out of default/
- Updated license, readme.txt, attribution
- Changed code license to MIT, left artwork at CC0
- removed default:rail and made aliases for it
- :carts:rail is now carts:rail.
- localized entity def
- removed copper rail entirely
- startstop rail was removed, as well as detector rail
- remodeled to b3d using stujones11 excellent blend model, but sizes
of cart adjusted to make pixel sizes consistent (0.625) everywhere.
- slightly more complex texture map for the cart (front/side visibly
different)
- rail parameters are passed as a separate def table, and stored in
a private list. This avoids having to call `get_meta` on every
node. In return, we need the node name, though.
- adds metal sounds (based on default metal sound function) and
cart moving sound.
- reduced cart speeds to max 7, 5 by pushing.
- Added on_step() rail event handler, gets called when a cart is on
a rail.
- Added various rebased updates from upstream (thanks Krock)
- Included a fix that removes the 'reverse jiggle' when stopping.
- Included reworked textures by sofar.
The mod namespace is still public, but I'm NOT declaring it an API. I'd
rather see it localized instead, for now. Any public interface in this
code is *experimental* at best, and should be considered non-stable and
unsupported for now.
With mip-mapping enabled, some GPUs cause a visual bug with indexed
textures that use alpha. This bug has been present for a while but
not noticed before. All indexed alpha textures must now be converted
to RGBA, to start this process we revert some textures converted to
indexed in the recent commit af3c918.
This fixes all cases where the color profile was broken, and
libpng warns about. It also makes almost all textures indexed
instead of RGB where possible (textures that don't have
semi-transparent pixels).
A deeper, darker level of leaves is created by tiling the texture
2 by 2, reducing brightness and offsetting this.
For a denser leaf appearence with the 'simple leaves' setting.
Also used for acacia bush leaves.
To allow mapgen bushes in green-grass and savanna grasslands.
Nodes for a generic bush and an acacia bush.
Stem nodes are craftable to a single wood node to provide a small
amount of wood resource in grasslands.
Fuel times are that of corresponding 'wood' nodes, 1/4 that of
corresponding tree nodes.
No leafdecay to enable use as hedges or without a nearby tree trunk.
Uses 'default leaves simple' texture for extra visual thickness.
The check for igniters (fire/lava) will be performed every 10 secs
if the item is flammable.
if the item is found to be in lava it will then burn up and
disappear in a smoke puff.
If a non-lava igniter node is found, a combination of `flammable`
value of the item and `igniter` group value of the node will be used
to determine the chance for the item to be removed.
'jungleleaves simple' had completely different leaf colours to
'jungleleaves', now matched.
'leaves simple' had dark green instead of black colour for transparent
pixels (the 'leaves' texture uses black), normally these pixels would
not be rendered as opaque colours but bush nodes now use this texture
and will be rendering it as opaque. The dark green pixels resulted in
a texture lacking in contrast.
Nyancats are independent in the default mod. Nothing else uses them or
their code. Separating it into a separate mod makes it easier for
subgames to remove them. It also makes it easier for a mod to depend
on nyancats, as lots of subgames don't have them.
Default/mapgen.lua: Register biomes, ores and decorations in
singlenode mapgen. These were never disabled anyway because
singlenode was removed from the world creation menu.
Mese texture is a classic-mese-yellow version
of celeron55's texture used in MTv0.4.0
Add missing texture credits for mese crystal
and mese crystal fragment
I've created a modified B3Dexport.py version that automatically strips
the embedded texture link to external texture files. These links were
causing the engine to spew "can't find character.png" messages on the
console, but were harmless due to texture loading being done by the
client side and not through irrlicht.
I previously moved character.png to /textures/, which is wrong. I now
understand that character.png was in the same folder as character.blend
simply to make blender load the texture from the embedded linkage
automatically. Nothing more, nothing less.
Subsequently the character.png file should just sit in convenience
in the /models/ folder with the blend file, and not in the textures
file. This patch moves it back. And yes, minetest does load the
character.png from this path.
This changes the drawtype of fences to NDT_CONNECTED nodebox drawtype.
These nodes are drawn by the client with the needed connections on
the fly as the scene is drawn. There is no logic needed by mods to
modify the nodes.
These fences connect to (1) other fences, (2) planks and (3) tree
trunks, but nothing else. They do not connect to stone, dirt, wool,
etc. This is done by the "connects_to" parameter, which takes groups
and node names.
Due to the way textures are wrapped, we can make these nodes look a
lot better by giving them a special tile.
This change requires minetest/minetest#3503.
Issue #811 - new gravel texture needed.
This texture was Gambits' PixelBOX gravel light texture. Gambit
posted that his texture pack is WTFPL:
- https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4990&start=50#p141196
I've made significant modifications to this texture:
- slightly rotated and rolled some sections of pixels
- minor burn/dodge some pixels to keep high contrast
- removed lineair repeating effects
- etc.
Attribution is added back to Gambit. Thanks.
Adds a birch-like tree to the default_game. Aspen was chosen on
purpose instead of birch, as several birch tree mods already exist
and choosing a different name avoids any conflicts.
Schematics were made for both normal and sapling version, assuring
saplings will not be able to grief. The shape of the Aspen is "fanning
out at the top" and provides an easy tree to walk under, but still a
somewhat thick cover. The Aspen trunk is 4 to 6 blocks tall, with up
to three layers of leaves on top, making it slightly taller than an
Apple tree, but shorter than a Pine tree, which provides a good blend.
Textures were painted from scratch, except tree_top and _wood
variants, which are color modified versions of the pine_wood
variants. Appropriate licenses have been chosen for the new textures.
The leaf texture is light enough to contrast other trees, but dark
enough to offset against our light default grass color. The leaves
are drawn in the typical minetest default fashion with plenty of
transparancy, but enough definition to suggest that you're seeing
something that looks like leaves. The placement of leaves in the
schematic also suggests the top of the tree is sparse and you can
see the sky through the leaves.
Sapling texture is both traditional and different, with lush green
leaves and a well-defined stem, but slightly stick-like and skinny,
as these plants tend to grow up first, then out.
Add fallen Aspen logs. We make these logs a minimum of 2 blocks long,
and up to 3. This allows us to make these logs a place where both
red and brown mushrooms can be found, to these may be attractive to
players. However, the spawn rate for these has been reduced a lot
compared to the other logs, to account for the scarcity of Aspen.
Add stairs, slabs for these wood types as well.
Mapgen will place these trees in deciduous forests only, but in
a way that the biome is a range between entirely Apple trees, and
mostly entirely Aspen trees, with a bias to Apple trees. To make
fallen logs somewhat correlated with trees, we modify the planting
of Apple trees and logs to use perlin noise and not fill ratio,
otherwise you'd always end up with Apple logs in Aspen tree areas,
which would be suspicious. There still is a bit of a mix.
Since written books are quite different from empty books, the
visual clue that they are different items is really needed in-game.
I've added a "clasp" or "belt-with-buckle" like element to the
png from default_book, keeping them very similar but also
immediately recgnizably different.
I added the new texture to blockmen's license list since it's
obviously derivative of his work.
The PNG was run through a minimizer/optimizer to save space.
