* Particles: Make attached particle spawners respect the parent's yaworwell962016-11-18
| | | | | | Position, velocity and acceleration vectors of particles are rotated by the yaw of the parent object so that they are truly relative to it. Clarify new attached particle spawner behavior in lua_api.txt.
* Builtin/../item: Enable tool breaking soundsAuke Kok2016-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | If a tool wears out and is destroyed, it's itemstack count goes to 0, and we can optionally play a breaking sound. This patch implements playing a breaking sound when this occurs. Sounds need to be added to the tool itemdef registration as the sound name string in the .sound.breaks member.
* Lua_api.txt: Naming convention for custom item/entity fieldsWuzzy2016-11-15
| | | | | | | Custom (non-engine) field names of items and entities are allowed. This is now documented in lua_api.txt. Field names beginning with an underscore are now reserved for mod use, the engine must not introduce any fields beginning with an underscore.

* Rename nodeupdate and nodeupdate_single and make them part of the official APIest312016-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now, the renamed forms of nodeupdate and nodeupdate_single are part of the official API. As nodeupdate has been used by Minetest Game and in mods despite of not being part of the official API, we ease the transition by still supporting it for the 0.4.15 release. After the release, the two functions can be removed. The removal will not violate the stability promise, as that promise only includes the official and documented API. Also, make some formerly global functions local. They most likely haven't been used by mods, therefore they won't get stubs with deprecation warnings, hard erroring directly.

| | | | | | | | Add 'core.LIGHT_MAX = 14' to builtin/game/constants.lua with the intention to replace misplaced 'default.LIGHT_MAX = 14' in Minetest Game. Add comment in light.h requiring the constant be changed in both places. Add lighting bug warning to note in lua_api.txt. There are hundreds of mod uses of 15 which causes a lighting bug.

* Make plantlike drawtype more funAuke Kok2016-08-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds several new ways that the plantlike drawtype mesh can be changed. This requires paramtype2 = "meshoptions" to be set in the node definition. The drawtype for these nodes should be "plantlike". These modifications are all done using param2. This field is now a complex bitfield that allows some or more of the combinations to be chosen, and the mesh draw code will choose the options based as neeeded for each plantlike node. bit layout: bits 0, 1 and 2 (values 0x1 through 0x7) are for choosing the plant mesh shape: 0 - ordinary plantlike plant ("x" shaped) 1 - ordinary plant, but rotated 45 degrees ("+" shaped) 2 - a plant with 3 faces ("*" shaped) 3 - a plant with 4 faces ("#" shaped) 4 - a plant with 4 faces ("#" shaped, leaning outwards) 5 through 7 are unused and reserved for future mesh shapes. bit 3 (0x8) causes the plant to be randomly offset in the x,z plane. The plant should fall within the 1x1x1 nodebox if regularly sized. bit 4 (0x10) causes the plant mesh to grow by sqrt(2), and will cause the plant mesh to fill out 1x1x1, and appear slightly larger. Texture makers will want to make their plant texture 23x16 pixels to have the best visual fit in 1x1x1 size. bit 5 (0x20) causes each face of the plant to have a slight negative Y offset in position, descending up to 0.125 downwards into the node below. Because this is per face, this causes the plant model to be less symmetric. bit 6 (0x40) through bit 7 (0x80) are unused and reserved for future use. !(https://youtu.be/qWuI664krsI)

* Builtin/profiler: Replace game profiler (#4245)Tim2016-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the setting "profiler.load" to enable profiling. Other settings can be found in settingtypes.txt. * /profiler print [filter] - report statistics to in-game console * /profiler dump [filter] - report statistics to STDOUT and debug.txt * /profiler save [format [filter]] - saves statistics to a file in your worldpath * txt (default) - same treetable format as used by the dump and print commands * csv - ready for spreadsheet import * json - useful for adhoc D3 visualizations * json_pretty - line wrapped and intended json for humans * lua - serialized lua table of the profile-data, for adhoc scripts * /profiler reset - reset all gathered profile data. This can be helpful to discard of any startup measurements that often spike during loading or to get more useful min-values. [filter] allows limiting the output of the data via substring/pattern matching against the modname. Note: Serialized data structures might be subject to change with changed or added measurements. csv might be the most stable, due to flat structure. Changes to the previous version include: * Updated and extended API monitoring * Correct calculation of average (mean) values (undistorted by idleness) * Reduce instrumentation overhead. * Fix crashes related to missing parameters for the future and occasional DIV/0's. * Prevent issues caused by timetravel (overflow, timejump, NTP corrections) * Prevent modname clashes with internal names. * Measure each instrumentation individually and label based on registration order. * Labeling of ABM's and LBM's for easier classification. Giving several ABM's or LBM's the same label will treat them as one. Missing labels will be autogenerated based on name or registration order. * Configurable instrumentation and reporting. Skip e.g. builtin if you don't need it. * Profile the profiler to measure instrumentation overhead.

* Add MapSettingsManager and new mapgen setting script API functionskwolekr2016-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit refactors the majority of the Mapgen settings system. - MapgenParams is now owned by MapSettingsManager, itself a part of ServerMap, instead of the EmergeManager. - New Script API functions added: core.get_mapgen_setting core.get_mapgen_setting_noiseparams, core.set_mapgen_setting, and core.set_mapgen_setting_noiseparams. - minetest.get/set_mapgen_params are deprecated by the above new functions. - It is now possible to view and modify any arbitrary mapgen setting from a mod, rather than the base MapgenParams structure. - MapgenSpecificParams has been removed.
* Player: New get_look, set_look APIraymoo2016-06-24

* Builtin/game/item: Add `place_param2` nodedef fieldAuke Kok2016-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows a nodedef to specify a fixed value for param2 to be used for all normal placements. There are several uses for this: - nodes that require param2 to be set to a non-zero value for internal mod use. E.g. leafdecay could use this to detect that leaves are played by players. - force wallmounted or facedir value at placement at placement This overrides any player look direction or other on-the-fly param2 setting during placement.

* Add minetest.check_password_entry callbackest312016-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Gives a convenient way to check a player's password. This entirely bypasses the SRP protocol, so should be used with great care. This function is not intended to be used in-game, but solely by external protocols, where no authentication of the minetest engine is provided, and also only for protocols, in which the user already gives the server the plaintext password. Examples for good use are the classical http form, or irc, an example for a bad use is a password change dialog inside formspec. Users should be aware that they lose the advantages of the SRP protocol if they enter their passwords for servers outside the normal entry box, like in in-game formspec menus, or through irc /msg s, This patch also fixes an auth.h mistake which has mixed up the order of params inside the decode_srp_verifier_and_salt function.

* Particles: Add option to remove particles on collisionAuke Kok2016-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds the particle option `collision_removal = bool` Some particles are hard to use right now since they either go through solid blocks (without collision detection), and with collision detection enabled they (e.g. raindrops) would just stop dead on the floor and sit there until they expire, or worse, scrape along a wall or ceiling. We can solve the problem by adding a boolean flag that tells the particle to be removed if it ever collides with something. This will make it easier to add rain that doesn't fall through your roof or stick on the top of it. Or clouds and smoke that don't go through trees. Particles that collide with this flag are marked expired unconditionally, causing them to be treated like normal expired particles and cleaned up normally. Documentation is adjusted accordingly. An added bonus of this patch is that particles can potentially collide many times with nodes, and this reduces the amount of collisions to 1 (max), which may end up reducing particle load on the client.
