This commit refactors the majority of the Mapgen settings system.
- MapgenParams is now owned by MapSettingsManager, itself a part of ServerMap,
instead of the EmergeManager.
- New Script API functions added:
core.get_mapgen_setting
core.get_mapgen_setting_noiseparams,
core.set_mapgen_setting, and
core.set_mapgen_setting_noiseparams.
- minetest.get/set_mapgen_params are deprecated by the above new functions.
- It is now possible to view and modify any arbitrary mapgen setting from a mod,
rather than the base MapgenParams structure.
- MapgenSpecificParams has been removed.
- Move mapgen creation logic out of EmergeManager and into Mapgen
- Internally represent mapgen type as an enum value, instead of a string
- Remove the need for a MapgenFactory per mapgen
This commit moves noise calculation to the functions where the noise is
actually required, increasing the separation of concerns and level of
interdependency for each mapgen method. Valleys Mapgen is left unmodified.
BiomeGen defines an interface that, given a set of BiomeParams, computes biomes
for a given area using the algorithm implemented by that specific BiomeGen.
This abstracts away the old system where each mapgen supplied the noises
required for biome generation.
Previous mountain terrain generation was by necessity placing
stone in air, this was removing air from any overgenerated
structures such as tunnels, dungeons and large caves
Moving it into the base terrain generation loop ensures that
only 'ignore' is replaced
generateRidgeTerrain: only return if node_max.Y < water_level - 16
Previously, if water level was set a few nodes above a mapchunk
border the river channel was only partially excavated
Instead of doing nothing at node_max.Y + 1 use 1-down
overgeneration for tunnel generation and noisemaps
Move some old unused code in mgv7 to end of file
To avoid spawn search failing in new specialised mapgens
Increase spawn search range to 4000 nodes
Add getSpawnLevelAtPoint() functions to EmergeManager, class Mapgen
and all mapgens
Remove getGroundLevelAtPoint() functions from all mapgens except mgv6
(possibly to be re-added later in the correct form to return actual
ground level)
Make mgvalleys flag names consistent with other mapgens
Remove now unused 'vertical spawn range' setting
Use/add stone_surface_max_y to speed-optimise/guide dungeon generation
MgV7: Don't let mountain terrain chop dungeons at mapchunk borders
Make mountain terrain update stone_surface_max_y for caves in mountains
MapgenParams is no longer a polymorphic class, eliminating the need for messy and bug-prone reallocations.
Separation between the common and mapgen-specific parameters is now strongly defined.
Mapgen parameters objects are now properly encapsulated within the proper subsystems.
