Some nodes with the snappy group (wool, glass pane, seeds) were missing
sound when dug with a sword.
Adding the sound causes it to be used for glass pane, so define a 'dig'
sound in the 'node sound glass defaults' table, use the footstep sound.
Adding the sound also causes it to be used for seeds which deliberately
have no dig sound, so add an empty sound override for seed dig.
Reduce the gain of the glass footstep sound which was excessively loud.
Add some freesound members to license.txt.
Handbrake was barely noticeable and fairly useless.
Equalisng with brake rail deceleration makes it more intuitive to use
and easier to judge stopping distance.
Previous code:
Used looped sounds without attaching them to objects or playing direct
to players.
The looped sounds are not 'stopped' when players leave the area.
These may be causing the bug where sounds are heard at extreme
distances.
Entering a world with already present flames results in silent flames.
Sounds are often played at a large number of points in a 6 node lattice.
A large fire is reported to cause a high load, disabling the sound code
is reported to help this.
New code:
Optional flame sound to not interfere with ambience mods.
Permanent flame now has sound.
For multiple flames, sound is positioned at the centre of all flames, and
has volume determined by flame number.
The original freesound 'large fire' recording was used to create 3 sounds
that play at random for a non-repetitive effect. At low volume it is
suitable for small fires.
Original sound files and sound function (as an empty function) kept
temporarily to reduce disruption.
Reduce gain of flame extinguish sound.
Some GPUs cause visual bugs when mip-mapping is used with indexed textures
that use alpha. Because leaves are sometimes rendered opaque it is even
more important to keep these as RGBA to preserve the correct background
colour.
Papyrus:
Make base node dirt instead of dirt_with_grass. Formerly the exposed
dirt would change to grass but the new grass spread ABM now prevents that.
Waterlily:
Don't specify a water_source node in the schematic, as it may be used in
river water. It was not force-placed but should really be "air" prob = 0.
This changes the farming API such that any nodedef with paramtype2
and place_param2 are passed through to all the plant stages of the
farming plant.
This allows plants to use an alternative mesh for the plantlike
drawtype, and provide a bit of graphical variation in plants.
We enable this for wheat, using place_param2 = 3, which is the '#'
shaped plant mesh. If you would actually be able to give yourself
this plant in creative or through /give, you would also get the
same '#' shape.
Biomes:
Add 'sandstone desert', 'cold desert', 'snowy grassland'.
Rename 'glacier' biome to 'icesheet' biome.
Rename non-swamp 'swamp' biomes to 'shore' biomes.
Remove 'sandstone grassland' biome.
Rename 'stone grassland' biome to 'grassland' biome.
Edit biome points for improved similarity to Whittaker classification.
Change 'tundra' to bare stone with snowblocks.
Make dirt 'swamp' / 'shore' less deep.
Ores:
Make dirt blob ore biome-specific, limit to dirt biomes.
Decorations:
Make mushroom noise spread match that of appletrees as originally intended,
to have mushrooms spawn in darker thicker forest areas.
Add coral reefs in warm oceans.
Add bushes and acacia bushes.
Jungletrees in deeper water for larger swamps.
Register flower mod decorations in singlenode mapgen for use by
minetest.generate_registered_decorations, as in default/mapgen.lua.
