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.
Before, customisation of DOCDIR did not lead to
changes of the EXAMPLE_CONF_DIR default value.
This was inconsistent with expected behaviour
if you didn't know of the existence of the
EXAMPLE_CONF_DIR variable. The confusion is
very strong, as (for not in place builds) both
DOCDIR and EXAMPLE_CONF_DIR share the same
default value, it is unexpected that setting
CUSTOM_DOCDIR changes the location of all
documentation files but one.
The best meaning of EXAMPLE_CONF_DIR is to
further allow customization of the mt.conf.example
storage place, but otherwise keep defaulting to
whatever DOCDIR is set to, at least for not in
place builds. This patch implements that
behaviour.
Fixes#3863.
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.
This privilege allows map protection bypassing for server operators
and world moderators.
Initially I had thought that bypassing protection mods would have been
something that could entirely be done inside mods and minetest_game,
but the concept of protection is defined in core, in the code of
core.is_protected().
I don't feel that it would be logical to introduce a protection
concept in core, but not some way around that for server operators
to maintain map parts that need fixing, de-griefing or cleanup.
Others had noticed the same problems, and proposed a patch to
minetest_game. That patch is fine by itself, but it fails to add
protection bypass functionality for digging normal nodes and placing
nodes.
So, instead, we indroduce the new priv "protection_bypass" in core,
and modify 'on_place_node' and 'node_dig' to allow bypassing node
protections if the player holds this priv.
This priv was tested with protector redo by tenplus1.
A followup patch to Minetest Game will include allowing special checks
for doors, trapdoors, chests in Minetest Game.
Protection mods will likely want to mimic the changes in their relevant
code sections.
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.
* Update OpenSSL (thanks @sapier, i use his patch!), Curl and SQLite3.
* Remove old arm config. Almost all phones that use ARMv5 have 1 core and 256-512 RAM, it's about 2-5 FPS.
* Do -O3 optimization for libs and remove -fexpensive-optimizations for Minetest (-O3 includes this! Read gcc docs).
* OpenSSL fix - thanks @sapier, again.
Fixed a minor mistake that made it appear as if the inventory
is serialized multiple times - once per each variable. In fact
it is serialized once per each node.
