An engine bug can cause bandolier attachments to become
detached from the perspective of a player if they and another
player wander farther than the server's player transfer
distance from one another and then re-meet later.
Sometimes the attached entities appear to be floating at the
place where the player was reloaded from the other player's
perspective instead of attached.
Work around this for now by just periodically regenerating
the bandolier attachments for all players, so that at least if
it happens, it will self-correct in time and not be stuck
indefinitely broken.
This was avoided in the past due to an old engine bug that
caused attachments that were attached while a player was
in 3rd person mode not to be visible to that player until they
toggled view mode again ... but this seems to have been
fixed at least in recent versions.
As of now, other-player bandoliers in MP are probably more
important than own-bandoliers in 3rd person view for most
serious use-cases anyway.
Any time a pummel recipe is completed, release an extra
burst of particles. Useful for recipes that seem to be
taking forever to complete but only because they're
repeatedly completing but not giving any visible hint,
e.g. leaf-bud-tickling.
Everything in NodeCore should already be using
nodecore.gametime instead of minetest.get_gametime().
This API allows an offset to be adjusted between these,
allowing for skipping forward in time.
The idea is to offer an optional "realtime clock" feature via
a mod or config option to allow mobile SP players to advance
time forward for idle mechanics when the game is not
loaded and running, via the realtime clock, to make idle
mechanics more accessible to players on limited battery.
Apparently players and luaentities use the same metatable,
so the polyfill needs to check if it's a player or not before
choosing which get_velocity to call.
Sponge nodes die if exposed to air for >= 2 seconds. They
are still more fragile in item form. This allows reliably
swapping a node used to seal in a living sponge without
instantly killing it, which used to be possible but risky,
depending on racing with the ABM timer.
This can be useful for skyblock mods to ensure that a
"starting tree" has at least enough of certain items to
craft basic tools and start sustained tree farming.
There isn't always a surface below to catch items
that fall into a storebox, so we can't guarantee an
item that falls into a storebox won't just fall out
the bottom. Only allow falling in the top if falling
out the bottom is allowed too.
This fixes glass cases not catching items if the
case is floating in air with nothing solid below it.
There are still some cases it doesn't handle
correctly, like a bare stack node underneath a
form, wherein the item should be allowed to fall
out of the form and combine into the stack.
Allow use of true to indicate no custom options. The check
was originally put in place to allow custom options, but
some mods may use it more simply like the craft check,
where it's meant to be a simple pass/fail.
- Made grass from peat more common
- Flowers spontaneously grow on humus under sun
- Sedges spontaneously grow on grass
- Rushes can spawn near water and sedges
Instead of digging the glue off by hand and freeing
up the optic to rotate again, it must be fully dug by
a tool, to further prevent accidental ungluing.
If you have enough glowing prills in a stack, then
making a lode cube always takes precedence over
"stone anvil" hot-forging recipes. If players want to
make toolheads they'll just have to make sure they
don't have excess amounts of lode in the stack; it's
a good reason to eventually switch to cold-forging
on tempered anvils anyway.
Look for optic_lens_emit group instead of explicit
lens_on node, to support multiple lens beam emitting
nodes (e.g. glued/unglued) for firestarting, door
ablation, etc.
Apparently time-of-day is sent to clients purely on
a fixed time interval, so the warning about extra
network traffic was incorrect. We can just forcibly
set time of day each tick entirely server-side without
any ill effects on network clients.
