2016-05-27Mapgen: Combine generateBiomes, dustTopNodes, and generateCaveskwolekr12-1161/+316
This commit condenses the above methods into a single implementation used by V7, V5, Flat, Fractal, and Valleys mapgens and introduces MapgenBasic.
2016-05-27Move biome calculation to BiomeGenkwolekr16-296/+413
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.
2016-05-26Tell irrlicht if we handle a key or not.est314-11/+57
We can remove the function in MtNativeActivity now as it serves precisely that purpose: to tell irrlicht that we handled the esc key. TODO for later: * Perhaps try to find a more performant container than KeyList

2016-05-22Tolerate packet reordering in the early init processest312-24/+8
Fixes a bug where packet reordering made the server give the client two peer ids instead of one. This in turn confused reliable packet sending and made connecting to the server fail. The client usually sends three packets at init: one "dummy" packet consisting of two 0 bytes, and the init packet as well as its legacy counterpart. The last one can be turned off since commit af30183124d40a969040d7de4b3a487feec466e4, but this is of lower relevance for the bug. The relevant part here is that network packet reorder (which is a normal occurence) can make the packets reach the server in different order. If reorder puts the dummy packet further behind, the following would happen before the patch: 1. The server will get one of the init packets on channel 1 and assign the client a peer id, as the packet will have zero as peer id. 2. The server sends a CONTROLTYPE_SET_PEER_ID packet to inform the client of the peer id. 3. The next packet from the client will contain the peer id set by the server. 4. The server sets the m_has_sent_with_id member for the client's peer structure to true. 5. Now the dummy packet arrives. It has a peer id of zero, therefore the server searches whether it already has a peer id for the address the packet was sent from. The search fails because m_has_sent_with_id was set to true and the server only searched for peers with m_has_sent_with_id set to false. 6. In a working setup, the server would assign the dummy packet to the correct peer id. However the server instead now assigns a second peer id and peer structure to the peer, and assign the packet to that new peer. 7. In order to inform the peer of its peer id, the server sends a CONTROLTYPE_SET_PEER_ID command packet, reliably, to the peer. This packet uses the new peer id. 8. The client sends an ack to that packet, not with the new peer id but with the peer id sent in 2. 9. This packet reaches the server, but it drops the ACK as the peer id does not map to any un-ACK-ed packets with that seqnum. The same time, the server still waits for an ACK with the new peer id, which of course won't come. This causes the server to periodically re-try sending that packet, and the client ACKing it each time. Steps 7-9 cause annoyances and erroneous output, but don't cause the connection failure itself. The actual mistake that causes the connection failure happens in 6: The server does not assign the dummy packet to the correct peer, but to a newly created one. Therefore, all further packets sent by the client on channel 0 are now buffered by the server as it waits for the dummy packet to reach the peer, which of course doesn't happen as the server assigned that packet to the second peer it created for the client. This makes the connection code indefinitely buffer the TOSERVER_CLIENT_READY packet, not passing it to higher level code, which stalls the continuation of the further init process indefinitely and causes the actual bug. Maybe this can be caused by reordered init packets as well, the only studied case was where network has reliably reordered the dummy packet to get sent after the init packets. The patch fixes the bug by not ignoring peers where m_has_sent_with_id has been set anymore. The other changes of the patch are just cleanups of unused methods and fields and additional explanatory comments. One could think of alternate ways to fix the bug: * The client could simply take the new peer id and continue communicating with that. This is however worse than the fix as it requires the peer id set command to be sent reliably (which currently happens, but it cant be changed anymore). Also, such a change would require both server and client to be patched in order for the bug to be fixed, as right now the client ignores peer id set commands after the peer id is different from PEER_ID_INEXISTENT and the server requires modification too to change the peer id internally. And, most importantly, right now we guarantee higher level server code that the peer id for a certain peer does not change. This guarantee would have to be broken, and it would require much larger changes to the server than this patch means. * One could stop sending the dummy packet. One may be unsure whether this is a good idea, as the meaning of the dummy packet is not known (it might be there for something important), and as it is possible that the init packets may cause this problem as well (although it may be possible too that they can't cause this). Thanks to @auouymous who had originally reported this bug and who has helped patiently in finding its cause.

2016-05-21Fix tooltip height for versions of irrlicht < 1.8.2Craig Robbins1-0/+4
Version 1.8.2 of irrlicht changed the way that IGUIStaticText::getTextHeight() works and since that release properly deals with newlines. From irrlicht changes.txt for 1.8.2, "IGUIStaticText::getTextHeight returns now the correct height for texts with newlines even WordWrap is not set."

2016-05-14Fix locked hardware buttons on AndroidMaksim Gamarnik2-11/+16
Fixes #2122 Fixes #1454 Addendum (est31) According from its docs in android_native_app_glue.h (from the NDK), the onInputEvent should "Return 1 if you have handled the event, 0 for any default dispatching". Before, we always returned 1, meaning we blocked all hardware keys to be given to the OS. This broke the volume keys and has caused #2122 and #1454. Although it bases on lots of guesswork, it can probably safely be said that CGUIEnvironment::postEventFromUser returns true if the event was handled, and false if not. Therefore, set the status variable depending on what postEventFromUser returned.
2016-05-13Mainmenu: don't show change keys dialog on androidest311-2/+8
The change keys dialog can't be left. It doesn't make much sense to show it on Android in the first place, therefore disable it, just like commit aed70cb0b652d6cb2272e7b94cd56671b3df6239 'Disable sound and key binding settings in "pause" menu on android' has disabled it for the esc menu. Fixes #4115.
