Before this patch, when placing a fire above a node that would turn it
into eternal fire (e.g. Netherrack or Magma) the spawn_fire() function
would call itself infinitely via the on_construct() handler of eternal
fire – because the latter called spawn_fire() itself.
On an x86 machine, this caused a memory leak, hanging Minetest. On an
x86_64 machine though, Minetest crashed immediately, showing an error
message about a stack overflow.
Even the mitigated timers seem to have lead to slow
memory leaks. Once Minetest has used up all the RAM,
it will free some, then quickly use memory up again,
then repeat it ad nauseum, requiring 100% CPU. On a
PC with 2GB of RAM this could be reliably triggered
by having a fire burn a forest for 20 to 30 minutes.
This patch removes fire node timers completely and
instead extinguishes fire using an ABM.
This patch initializes the random number generator used in mcl_fire with
the current Unix timestamp. It also corrects two biases in fire spread
that were caused by nodes being iterated over in a predictable way.
Before this patch, wearing a pumpkin would make body armor render as a
corrupted item held in the player's left hand instead of on their body.
Some parts of their armor would also get rendered on the player's feet.
(cherry picked from commit 12192d1a8d)
Before this patch, growing a gourd (e.g. melon, pumpkin) would always
convert a node west of the node below the stem to dirt if belonged to
the group “dirtifies_below_solid”. This happened because of a loop in
which the variables floorpos and floor were re-used without setting a
new value … therefore, both floorpos and floor were always containing
the last values set in a previous loop instead of the correct values.
This patch fixes the problem by setting both variables in both loops.
The minetest world is already so small that you can reach world
border from spawn in about 2 hours. I think the regen and fire
resistance are good enough to make them special.
Without this fix, the banner pattern preview generation does not mask
the banner pattern, so the alpha channel of the banner pattern is not
taken into account. This lead to preview banners with color gradients
showing up as a solid color banner and opaque pixel artifacts for the
bottom triangle pattern.
Commit 819dbc6224c3b96ad4094cccf3d9150f3ef61d45 of MineClone2 introduced
an LBM that removed Ender chest formspecs stored in the node meta. That
change makes Ender chests that were loaded in MineClone2 versions past
that commit not show the Ender chest inventory form on right-click.
This patch makes those broken Ender chests work by introducing an LBM
that writes the formspec to the node meta for Ender chest nodes once.
Since the LBM name is suffixed with a hash of the Ender chest formspec,
changes to the Ender chest formspec (even removing it entirely) should
not require manual adjustment of the LBM code.
It was possible to duplicate snow layers by placing them and then mining
them using a tool enchanted with silk touch. This commit fixes the “snow
dupe” by reducing the amount of snow layers dropped in this case by one.
As beetroot often did not drop seeds, players could end up with no seeds when
trying to farm beetroot. This patch guarantees that at least one beetroot seed
is dropped when harvesting beetroot.
