- Use upright_sprite for 3rd person flame display, which is both closer to minecraft and allows for client side texture animation
- Take care of flame HUD in the MineClone2Client
Some items, like shulkers or books, can have so much metadata that the
corresponding item entity can not be serialized by the Minetest engine.
Without this patch, dropping such an item and then moving away crashes
Minetest, as it can not serialize the entity with serializeString16()
when unloading a map block.
The patch resets the overlong metadata of non-serializable item entities.
This avoids a crash and makes it possible to retrieve a “sanitized” item
without metadata when the mapblock containing the item entity is reloaded.
Originally sfan5 guessed the maximum possible item entity serialization size
that would not lead to a crash as 65530 bytes, but anon5 calculated it to be
actually 65487 bytes. This has been experimentally verified by erlehmann.
DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION, DO NOT START OLD WORLDS WITHOUT A BACKUP
These are the first steps of the new mob API. The game does actually start, but mobs do not work yet.
You will also get some warnings about mob spawners, but don't worry about that.
This is really just some 'first impression' of how the mob API is gonna look like. Some things are already complete, like the agression system.
AI and attacking have not been worked on yet.
mobs_mc and mcl_mobs have actually been merged into one piece but I will probably change that again in the future actually, and split the different mobs into different mods.
There are also a few usefull things like the universal mount API and a more general purpose smoke API, but all of this is still far from complete.
I'll put some work into the API this week but probably not next week, then I'll see but don't expect this to be done before 2022.
I'll work on it, but I'll do it slowly and progressively to not get burned out again and to still have enough time to graduate from school in the meantime.
