This reverts commit 253c2282917ecade5b8356d592edab40b1d517f5.
Apparently this warning is full of crap. Explicitly
setting use_texture_alpha in the node def does
something DIFFERENT than what the engine says
it's doing enabling it internally. use_texture_alpha
enables alpha BLENDING, which is what we
don't want with interpolation filters, whereas
leaving it off enables alpha THRESHOLDING which
is exactly what we want.
Hints themselves have not been tided up
much, but this makes the project of fixing the
hints for each mod a little more manageable
and breaks up the hard-to-navigate single
monolithic hints file in the old guide mod.
The old guide mod has now been completely
retired. Hints are now a full-fledged API-layer
standard feature.
Based on what's being dug, rakes can have
different dig volumes and checks.
Lode rake now has 3 modes depending on
what's being dug:
- Loose things, same as wooden rake
- 3x3x3 exfoliating
- 3x1x1 soil tilling/digging
Apparently we will be required to enable
use_texture_alpha explicitly for anything using
any level of transparency, not just alpha
blending, in some future version.
By restricting the recipes we check based
on the name of the central object being
checked, we can do many fewer craft
checks per item and avoid expensive
checks.
Register a "rootmatch" property for all
recipes that represents a broader, quicker
test for recipe eligibility. False positives are
allowed but false negatives are not.
Since most recipes are eligible, we can
use this to build an index for fast lookups
of subsets of recipes to run and skip most
of the other ones.
It seems that when we access metadata too rapidly
it pulls data out of order or something, so that the
player damage time stuff is unstable, and healing can
start immediately, or more than 8 seconds later.
Caching this stuff manually seems to work around the
issue, and it seems that the metadata system is at
least EVENTUALLY consistent, so it's still good for
long-term use or across world unloads.
Treat all API mods as a "layer", and use the new
nc_api_all registration to indicate that a mod depends
on the NC API (which ALL NC mods assume they do).
This means that each non-API mod does not need to
worry about which API mods it really needs and which
it does not, nor will they need to be updated for any
internal API restructures.
This is a game, not a modpack, so all mods will be
loaded anyway, and we only care about order. That
means that we don't really need to worry about
having excess dependencies because any mod we
don't actually need will be needed by something that's
loaded anyway. If somebody wants to reuse a
component elsewhere, they're likely to need to do
some work to untangle it anyway, because of the
amount that NodeCore mechanics interact and
interdepend.
- Unbake the scaling tweak from models, apply it
using mesh scaling in MT instead.
- Standardize ratio definition in one place.
- Default all nodeboxes to winning z-fights.
Automatic z-fighting prevention was causing some
nodes to fail to connect to neighbors due to the tiny
gaps. Allow certain nodes to "win" the z-fight instead
so they also connect to neighbors properly.
When you have a thing in your hand that doesn't help
you dig a node, but you can dig that node by hand,
then apparently the after_use callback still seems to
trigger, causing the rake effect, and wear-out.
Any items that don't fit in the player's inventory will gather
to the center of the raked area, so they can combine and pile
together for easier pickup later.
If a node is specially tagges with the stack_as_node group, and
the stack size is exactly 1, place as a real node instead of a
stack node.
This reinstates logic from WAY back in the super-early pre-alpha
days, except only for nodes explicitly tagged this way.
This should be applied only to nodes that aren't transformed in
any non-desirable way when placed as nodes instead of stacks, and
can be dug the same ways as stacks (i.e. snappy = 1 or
crumbly = 1).
Currently applied to sticks, staves, leaves, ladders/frames,
and torches. Ladder/frame placement offers some interesting
possibilities in terms of throwing ladders to rappel down holes.
Placing a shelf against the side of another shelf was possible
with a simple right-click, but placing one against the top or
bottom of another shelf didn't work. This fixes that.
