A simple set of biomes for now: Ocean, coniferous forest, grassland,
sandstone desert.
Update biome lists for blob ores and decorations.
Make sandstone desert filler 1 node deeper to match other deserts.
Instead of right click, the skeleton key is now a true `tool`
in the sense that it's default left-click action is to create
a key for the locked object.
This is far better than the outcome of the patches we've done
where the only way to create a key for a locked item was to
use sneak+rightclick. Now keys are perhaps a bit more sensible,
left for making keys, right for opening stuff with keys.
Fixes #1625
Currently jungletrees and junglegrass use sidelen 80 for simplicity,
but this results in a more uneven distribution of decorations. A more
even distribution helps keep rainforest darker with a more unbroken
canopy.
This is also more consistent. 80 is based on the default mapchunk
size, all other decorations use sidelen 16 or smaller to divide into
any mapchunk size.
Denser jungletree for darker rainforest:
Highest 'jungletree' nodes now prob 255.
Add a 5th lower branch layer.
Increase lower branch layer y-slice prob to 191.
Aspen:
Extend trunk upwards by 1 node to reduce leafdecay radius to 2.
Pine:
Make lower trunk 1 node longer so that lowest branches are more often
higher off the ground, also to make pines taller.
Appletree:
Make 2 opposite branches prob 255, the other 2 prob 127, to avoid
trees with 1 or 0 branches. Therefore also add random rotation.
Increase to 5 ladders from 7 sticks.
More generous to help with vertical travel.
Divide the log core volume of 14 * 14 * 16 cubic pixels by the volume of
a ladder node with two 2 * 2 * 16 side pieces and four 2 * 1 * 16 rungs
(cut down to length 14), to get 12.25 ladders per log.
The recipe of 7 stick items is 7 / 16 = 0.4375 logs.
Ladders per 7 stick items = 0.4375 * 12.25 = 5.36.
Utilizes the new key-meta (as with nodes) and the ability to set the description of an itemstack with the `description` meta key. Includes code to convert old metadata to new key-meta.
- beds
- boats
- carts
- key/skeleton key
- seeds
All these had on_place handlers that did not allow nodes with
an on_rightclick() handler to be used first (if not using
sneak). This code is taken from the torches mod and applied
everywhere.
This allows all these items to e.g. be inserted into the `frame`
mod's item frames.
Utilizes several new features allowing the description of an item to be changed using the `description` meta key. This also moves keys from using the old single-value itemstack metadata system to the new node-like metadata system.
Return to previous parameters interval = 1, chance = 2.
Compensates for the increase in default active block radius.
Large amounts of lava cooling at once is known to overload sound
creation, producing error messages.
As part of the original plan for a new lightcurve.
With the old lightcurve lights were so dim all light sources had light
source level 13 or 14 to compensate, resulting in almost no difference
between torchlight and a maximum brightness light.
The new lightcurve makes all light sources effectively much brighter by
spreading visually-bright light further, torches are now slightly too
bright. So now we can reduce the light source level of torches while
actually making them effectively brighter than with the old lightcurve.
This also creates a desirable difference between torchlight and a
maximum-brightness light source.
This implements a node-timer based leafdecay mechanism, and exposes
an API to use it in mods.
The API is documented in game_api.txt.
`default.register_leafdecay(leafdecaydef)`
`leafdecaydef` is a table, with following members:
{
trunks = { "default:tree"}, -- nodes considered trunks
leaves = { "default:leaves", "default:apple"}, -- nodes considered leaves
radius = 3, -- activates leafdecay this far from the trunk
}
The algorithm will drop `leaves` items in the area if no `trunks` are found
in the `trunk_radius` sized area around the position of the leaf. If a node
listed in `leaves` has a group `leafdecay_drop > 0`, then the item is dropped,
otherwise the item is removed but not dropped.
The algorithm also implements a value `default.leafdecay_speed` (default
15) which can be modified to increase or decrease of the leaf decay. The
algorithm will vary the actual speed a bit to introduce randomness.
Leaf decay is randomized by 0.1 seconds to reduce the chance that
decay happens many times on the same second interval. This requires
nodetimer_interval to be set to values lower than 1.0 to have an
effect.
The leaves will decay between 2 and 10 seconds after digging the trunk,
and happen at non-integer second intervals.
-- The API was added by sofar.
Plantlike drawtype no longer applies 'visual scale' twice, so now we
use the actual scale factor desired.
Remove unnecessary 'visual_scale = 1.0' lines.
Light level 14 to be able to grow plants.
3 returned from crafting with 1 glass node, 3 mese crystals and 1
wood plank.
Seamlessly placable on appletree wood fence posts.
Now that biomes are being specified for blob ores we need a separate
set of blob ore registrations for mgv6 which has no Biome API biomes
defined.
Various minor improvements to mapgen.lua.
Now that the missing 'default_dig_snappy' sound has been added we can
remove the dirt dig sound from the table. All nodes that use the
leaves defaults table have group 'snappy' so 'default_dig_snappy' now
becomes their default dig sound.
Craft 4 default:sand to default:sandstone.
Previously, 4 group:sand was craftable to sandstone and sandstone was
craftable back into default:sand, allowing silver and desert sands to
be converted into incorrect colour sandstone and yellow sand.
I recently made glass footstep and dig gains too low, raise slightly.
Change dirt dug gain from above-maximum 1.5 to maximum 1.0.
Reduce gain of footsteps: stone, dirt, gravel, wood, metal
Raise gain of leaves footstep.
Some nodes with the snappy group (wool, glass pane, seeds) were missing
sound when dug with a sword.
Adding the sound causes it to be used for glass pane, so define a 'dig'
sound in the 'node sound glass defaults' table, use the footstep sound.
Adding the sound also causes it to be used for seeds which deliberately
have no dig sound, so add an empty sound override for seed dig.
Reduce the gain of the glass footstep sound which was excessively loud.
Add some freesound members to license.txt.
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.
Papyrus:
Make base node dirt instead of dirt_with_grass. Formerly the exposed
dirt would change to grass but the new grass spread ABM now prevents that.
Waterlily:
Don't specify a water_source node in the schematic, as it may be used in
river water. It was not force-placed but should really be "air" prob = 0.
Biomes:
Add 'sandstone desert', 'cold desert', 'snowy grassland'.
Rename 'glacier' biome to 'icesheet' biome.
Rename non-swamp 'swamp' biomes to 'shore' biomes.
Remove 'sandstone grassland' biome.
Rename 'stone grassland' biome to 'grassland' biome.
Edit biome points for improved similarity to Whittaker classification.
Change 'tundra' to bare stone with snowblocks.
Make dirt 'swamp' / 'shore' less deep.
Ores:
Make dirt blob ore biome-specific, limit to dirt biomes.
Decorations:
Make mushroom noise spread match that of appletrees as originally intended,
to have mushrooms spawn in darker thicker forest areas.
Add coral reefs in warm oceans.
Add bushes and acacia bushes.
Jungletrees in deeper water for larger swamps.
Register flower mod decorations in singlenode mapgen for use by
minetest.generate_registered_decorations, as in default/mapgen.lua.
- Improve arms attachment
The arm bones were at an angle, so that the bones were difficult
to orient correctly, as unintuitive combinations of angles
would be needed to get the default orientation, or any other
acceptable orientation. Moreover, a simple rotation of the arm,
e.g. forward, would require all angles to be adapted, instead
of just one.
The ends of the arms bones were moved from touching the body, to
the center of the arm, at an equal distance from the sides of the
arm and the shoulder; the arm bone is now in the center of the arm.
- Fix body rotation
The body was rotated 180° while the rest wasn't, leading to
strange results when setting bone positions manually.
- Fix default rotation of limbs (manually positioning them in
their default position would require an 180° rotation).
Is is not know how this was fixed. Maybe just because the
model was re-exported.
- The bone of the cape was moved to the center of the cape (it was
at the edge). For some reason this fixed the 180° rotation of the
cape when it was manually positioned (similar to previous issue).
The changes above fix most of the issues mentioned in #1376
- Add a player-model-specific workaround for the problem described in:
https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2813#issuecomment-198796927https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/pull/1392#issuecomment-261669915
During walking, attached tools would randomly switch hands. Walking also
happens to be the only animation where the body does not move. Making the
body move an imperceptible amount makes the issue disappear for the player
model.
- Fix body vertex group: it no longer includes parts of arms and legs
Thanks to @stujones11 for these last two changes.
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 merges the current state of the well-maintained and tested
`torches` mod as I've maintained it for the last 6 months.
This started out as a thorough cleanup of 3D torches by blockmen,
where some of the initial code still remains.
The models were redone entirely from scratch and have been extensively
tested with dozens of animated textures converted with mcimport,
and look a lot better than the original 3D Torches mod.
The ceiling torch is retained and functional. The `wieldlight`
addition that the torches mod has was removed, since it relies
on wieldview to look decent. This can stay external mod code.
I've opted to move the torch nodes to a separate file. It's not
a lot of code but nodes.lua is already huge, and I wanted to
retain the copyright header and some of the readme.txt notes,
and this was the easiest way of doing it.
This code passes "default:torch" to nodes with on_rightclick,
fixing problems with itemframes. Essentially it has a more
elaborate item_place() routine to make sure we're not passing
the wall torch to nodes that may display it.
The ceiling torch is a separate model and not the same as the
floor model. That does mean that there are 3 models in this
mod.
