v1.14.1: The multipoint update, hotfix 1

Hello!

This is a quick release to fix issue #100, a bug in the positioning system. It was possible using //pos1 and //pos2 to set the position to a non-integer position, which this release fixes.

v1.14.1: The multipoint update, hotfix 1 (12th July 2023)

• Fix issue #100, which caused a crash as //pos1 and //pos2 allowed non-integer positions to be set

v1.14: The multipoint update

Hey there, it's another release! While it's been some time since the last one, we certainly haven't been idle! @VorTechnix and I have been busy enhancing WorldEditAdditions' capabilities. Here are some of the highlights:

• 📌 You can now select more than two points! The new positioning system enables new possibilities (like //revolve and //spline) that weren't possible before. It's fully integrated with WorldEdit commands and tools, so you can use both interchangeably!
• 🪄 The new multipoint wand lets you select more than 2 points.
• 🚄 //move+ and //copy+ now preserve rotation (param2) information, and override //move and //copy, as they are fully backwards compatible.
• 🖌️ //sculpt gets an upgrade, making it more useful with the default settings. Assign it to a WorldEdit brush and paint away!
• 🪲 We've continued to tidy things up and squash all those pesky bugs. //hollow and most commands have been bugfixed in one way or another, and we've also migrated to mod.conf from depends.txt

A lot has been going on behind the scenes to better separate out our codebase too, with more tests being written for key components.

See below for the full list of changes, and instructions on how to update at the bottom of these release notes!

• Significant backend refactoring to tidy things up
• Add new multi-point selection wand to select many points at once.

• Add //revolve, which makes multiple evenly-spaced rotated copies of the defined region (uses the new multi-point wand)
• //copy+, //move+:
  • Added support for integrated airapply mode, which replaces nodes at the target only if they are air - append airapply/aa to the command to use
  • Respect node rotation (i.e. param2) when copying/moving
  • Override //move and //copy by default

Bugfixes and changes

• Migrate from depends.txt to mod.conf
• Cloud wand: fix typo in item description.

v1.13: The transformational update

Welcome one and all to another update! With a title as bold as this, v1.13 of WorldEditAdditions will not disappoint. @VorTechnix and I have something for everyone. Here are some of the highlights:

• 📐 @VorTechnix has added tons of new commands to measure regions: //mface (measure facing), //midpos (measure middle position), //msize (measure size), and //mtrig (measure trigonometry)
• 🧭 //move+ and //copy+ to move & copy regions along multiple axes at once
• 🪐 //spiral2 to make both square and circular spirals
• 🎨 Initial implementation of //sculpt and //sculptlist for sculpting terrain using a number of custom brushes (you can add your own! Check out the documentation) - more improvements to come in a future update
• 🌄 //layers: Add optional slope angle constraint (inspired by WorldPainter)
• 🐞 Many annoying bugs squashed (//conv///smoothadv, //maze, //replacemix, //bonemeal, and more)

And this doesn't even scratch the surface of what we've done! Also notably we've turned the internal core api of WorldEditAdditions upside-down to make it better than ever, with improved code quality thanks to luacheck.

Advanced users will appreciate that commands can now be nested with the { curly brace } syntax, and arguments can be quoted with either single or double quotes should they contain spaces.

See below the changelog for instructions on how to update.

v1.12: The selection tools update

Welcome one and all to another release!

We've been hard at work preparing all sorts of great new features for you to play with in this one. Particularly of note (as you can perhaps tell from the name of the release) are a whole suite of a commands for managing the selected region - most of which were implemented by @VorTechnix.

//scloud additively selects a region, and comes with a new wand tool as well (left click = additively select region, right click = clear selection). //srect (select rectangle), //scol (select column) and //scube (select cube) have also been added.

Keeping with the theme of the selected region, this release also comes with //spush, //spop, and //sstack, which allows you to have a per-user stack of selected regions.

Annoyed by 1x1 holes and odd blocks? Clean them up with the new river erosion algorithm! (//erode river), and //multi also has a powerful new nesting capabililty using {curly braces} too!

Finally, WorldEditAdditions also has a fancy new website! On it, you can:

• Learn how to install WorldEditAdditions
• View the changelog
• Read the reference (now with dynamic filtering!)
• Check out the cookbook
• Read the tutorial (work in progress)

See below for instructions on how to update. Enjoy!

v1.12: The selection tools update

• Add //spush, //spop, and //sstack
• Add //srect (select rectangle), //scol (select column), //scube (select cube) - thanks, @VorTechnix!

• Add //smake (selection make) - thanks, @VorTechnix!
• Significantly refactored backend utility functions (more to come in future updates)
• Add new universal chance parsing
  • Any <chance> can now either be a 1-in-N number (e.g. 4, 10), or a percentage chance (e.g. 50%, 10%).
  • Caveat: Percentages are converted to a 1-in-N chance, but additionally that number is rounded down in some places
• //torus, //hollowtorus: Add optional new axes
• //torus, //ellipsoid: Add optional hollow keyword - @VorTechnix
• //multi: Add curly brace syntax for nesting command calls (more information)
• //erode: Add new river erosion algorithm for filling in potholes and removing pillars

Bugfixes

v1.11: The Big Data update

Hey there! This is quite a significant release. We have some serious improvements to //subdivide which I'm rather pleased with - I've successfully tested //subdivide with multiple different commands over areas as large as 2000x200x2000 (tip: larger chunks run faster due to significant emerge overhead).

We also have a new wand for additively selecting an area, and a new //hollow command along with lots of smaller changes.

Oh yeah, and how could I forget //scale? A much more advanced version of //stretch, all your scaling needs should be solved! You can even scale up and down at the same time.... though please remember that it's split into 2 separate operations, and scaling up is always done first.

I mainly wanted to get this out now because I have big plans for #17 :D

v1.11: The big data update (25th January 2021)

• Add //scale (currently experimental)
  • Scale operations that scale up and down at the same time are split into 2 separate operations automatically (scaling up is always performed first)
• //count: Make numbers human-readable
  • Tip: Use a monospace font for the chat window, and the columns will be aligned!
• Add //hollow for hollowing out areas (a step towards parity with Minecraft WorldEdit)
• //subdivide: Improve performance of initial chunk counting algorithm - it should get started on the job much quicker now (especially on large regions)
• //subdivide: Fix a bug where the entire defined region was emerged all at once instead of in chunks
• //subdivide: Fix performance & memory usage issues
  • Fix passing arguments to the command being executed
  • If you encounter any other issues with it over large areas (particularly 2000x150x2000 and larger), please let me know
• Bugfix: Fix obscure crash in calls to human_size ("unknown" will now be returned if passed junk)
• //many can now be used with commands with no arguments.
• //conv, //erode, //fillcaves: Treat liquids as air
• Add new cloud wand
• //conv, //erode: minor refactoring to improve code clarity

v1.10: The tidyup update

It's another release!

This release fixes a number of bugs, and also includes some improvements for running commands over very large areas - specifically to //subdivide, although //many has seen some love too.

Also, it wouldn't be a new release without a new command to play with. This release adds //line, which draws straight lines (thanks to @VorTechnix for requesting in #25!).

As always, please open an issue if you spot any issues or have any ideas for new features.

v1.10 (16th January 2021)

• //maze: Fix some parts of generated mazes staying solid
• //maze, //maze3d: Allow non-number seeds (existing seeds aren't affected - they will still produce identical output)
• //many: Improve format of progress messages, add ETA
• //subdivide: Make asynchronous, and use minetest.emerge_area() to ensure areas are loaded before executing on a subdivision chunk
  • This will ensure that //subdivideing enormous regions should now function as expected. Want to level an entire rainforest with //subdivide and //clearcut? Now you can! :D
• Add //line for drawing simple lines
