* Improved getPointedThing()
The new algorithm checks every node exactly once.
Now the point and normal vector of the collision is also returned in the
PointedThing (currently they are not used outside of the function).
Now the CNodeDefManager keeps the union of all possible nodeboxes, so
the raycast won't miss any nodes. Also if there are only small
nodeboxes, getPointedThing() is exceptionally fast.
Also adds unit test for VoxelLineIterator.
* Cleanup, code move
This commit moves getPointedThing() and
Client::getSelectedActiveObject() to ClientEnvironment.
The map nodes now can decide which neighbors they are connecting to
(MapNode::getNeighbors()).
Breath is now handled server side. Changing this behaviour required some modifications to core:
* Ignore TOSERVER_BREATH package, marking it as obsolete
* Clients doesn't send the breath to server anymore
* Use PlayerSAO pointer instead of peer_id in Server::SendPlayerBreath to prevent a useless lookup (little perf gain)
* drop a useless static_cast in emergePlayer
* Create UnitSAO, a common part between PlayerSAO & LuaEntitySAO
* Move breath to PlayerSAO & LocalPlayer
* Migrate m_yaw from (Remote)Player & LuaEntitySAO to UnitSAO
* Migrate m_yaw from Player to LocalPlayer for client
* Move some functions outside of player class to PlayerSAO/RemotePlayer or LocalPlayer depending on which class needs it
* Move pitch to LocalPlayer & PlayerSAO
* Move m_position from Player to LocalPlayer
* Move camera_barely_in_ceiling to LocalPlayer as it's used only there
* use PlayerSAO::m_base_position for Server side positions
* remove a unused variable
* ServerActiveObject::setPos now uses const ref
* use ServerEnv::loadPlayer unconditionnaly as it creates RemotePlayer only if it's not already loaded
* Move hp from Player to LocalPlayer
* Move m_hp from LuaEntitySAO to UnitSAO
* Use m_hp from PlayerSAO/UnitSAO instead of RemotePlayer
Move static object storage force-delete message from errorstream to
warningstream.
Increase 'max objects per block' setting to 64.
Add missing spaces in warning code.
* Move client list to ServerEnvironment and use RemotePlayer members instead of Player
* ClientEnvironment only use setLocalPlayer to specify the current player
* Remove ClientEnvironment dead code on player list (in fact other players are CAO not Player objects)
* Drop LocalPlayer::getPlayer(xxx) functions which aren't used.
* Improve a little bit performance by using const ref list for ClientEnvironment::getPlayerNames() & Client::getConnectedPlayerNames()
* Drop isLocal() function from (Local)Player which is not needed anymore because of previous changes
This change permits to cleanup shared client list which is very old code.
ClientEnvironment doesn't use player list anymore, it only contains the local player, as addPlayer is only called from Client constructor client side.
Clients are only CAO on client side, this cleanup permit to remove confusion about player list.
* remove IGameDef from Player class, only LocalPlayer has it now
* move many attributes/functions only used by LocalPlayer from Player to LocalPlayer
* move many attributes/functions only used by RemotePlayer from Player to RemotePlayer
* make some functions const
* hudGetHotbarSelectedImage now returns const ref
* RemotePlayer getHotbarSelectedImage now returns const ref
* various code style fixes
* ClientEnvironment now uses UNORDERED MAP for active objects
* Use RemotePlayer and LocalPlayer everywhere it's possible
* Minor code style fixes
* Drop Client::getBreath() unused function
* Server/Client Environments now have an helper to cast Player object in the right type to use it
* Server: use RemotePlayer everywhere and remove previous added casts
* Client: use LocalPlayer where needed
* Environment: remove unused functions (getPlayers(), getRandomConnectedPlayer(), getNearestConnectedPlayer())
This is part 2 for 5f084cd98d
Other improvements:
* Use the defined ItemGroupList when used
* make Client::checkPrivilege const
* inline some trivial functions
* Add ActiveObjectMap typedef
* Add SettingsEntries typedef
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.
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.
The Atomic implementation was only partially correct, and was very complex.
Use locks for sake of simplicity, following KISS principle.
Only remaining atomic operation use is time of day speed, because that
really is only read + written.
Also fixes a bug with m_time_conversion_skew only being decremented, never
incremented (Regresion from previous commit).
atomic.h changes:
* Add GenericAtomic<T> class for non-integral types like floats.
* Remove some last remainders from atomic.h of the volatile use.
It isn't possible to use atomic operations for floats, so don't use them there.
Having a lock is good out of other reasons too, because this way the float time
and the integer time both match, and can't get different values in a race,
e.g. when two setTimeofDay() get executed simultaneously.
-> Put access to time variables under the time lock.
-> Merge both time locks, there is no point to have two locks.
-> Fix the lock being released too early in Environment::setTimeOfDay
-> Add serverside getter so that you don't have to get
the environment if you only have the server
Why doing things simple ? Use pointer instead of strings to save players and remove them.
Saving players by name does a lookup to find pointer we already have ! Idem with removePlayer
Also remove unused removePlayer(peer_id), it's never called
Use std::queue instead of std::set, we don't need such a heavy container.
Don't convert position to int to convert it back to float in the next function.
Entity positions are serialized as F1000. Disallow placing
entities outside safe borders with the minetest.add_entity
call.
Note that this patch only enforces those boundaries for
placing entities, moving entities that move outside boundaries
aren't affected.
Thanks to @nanepiwo for pointing this out.
