From ab371cc93491baf0973ecc94b96c3a1fdb4abfd5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?D=C3=A1niel=20Juh=C3=A1sz?= Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2016 19:02:44 +0100 Subject: Light calculation: New bulk node lighting code This commit introduces a new bulk node lighting algorithm to minimize lighting bugs during l-system tree generation, schematic placement and non-mapgen-object lua voxelmanip light calculation. If the block above the changed area is not loaded, it gets loaded to avoid lighting bugs. Light is updated as soon as write_to_map is called on a voxel manipulator, therefore update_map does nothing. --- doc/lua_api.txt | 9 +-------- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 8 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/lua_api.txt b/doc/lua_api.txt index 23aac90d9..484a5848c 100644 --- a/doc/lua_api.txt +++ b/doc/lua_api.txt @@ -3282,9 +3282,6 @@ format as produced by get_data() et al. and is *not required* to be a table retr Once the internal VoxelManip state has been modified to your liking, the changes can be committed back to the map by calling `VoxelManip:write_to_map()`. -Finally, a call to `VoxelManip:update_map()` is required to re-calculate lighting and set the blocks -as being modified so that connected clients are sent the updated parts of map. - ##### Flat array format Let @@ -3349,8 +3346,6 @@ but with a few differences: will also update the Mapgen VoxelManip object's internal state active on the current thread. * After modifying the Mapgen VoxelManip object's internal buffer, it may be necessary to update lighting information using either: `VoxelManip:calc_lighting()` or `VoxelManip:set_lighting()`. -* `VoxelManip:update_map()` does not need to be called after `write_to_map()`.
