MCServer r178

178

Phew, it took me a while, but there are lots of changes

Changes:

• New terrain generation algorithm
  
• New save format, WAY smaller AND FASTER
  
• No more genmap.bin
  
• Worlds have seeds now, which can be changed (in world/world.ini)
  
• Some terrain gen options can be set in terrain.ini
  
• Ores now drop the ore blocks instead of refined materials
  
• Saplings grow into trees (still very crappy, and there's no way to get saplings lol)
  
• Finally got the MultiBlock packet thing to work, this makes large operations such as cuboid/worldedit operations MUCH faster, as well as falling sand etc.
  
• No more invisible players (afaik)
  
• Fixed a timer bug where the server time would not be sent to the clients anymore after a while.
  
• Fixed some crash bugs
  
• Fixed a small memory leak
  
• Added a reload button in WebAdmin to reload all plugins
  
• Changed main WebAdmin page a bit
  
• Added IsInGroup() function to cPlayer, to check if a player is in a certain group
  
• Using JSON for entity data at end of chunk data (see save format specification after I update it XD )
  
• Made cWorld:FastSetBlock() even faster
  
• Chunks around [0,0,0] are no longer loaded for no reason
  
• Block health is not transferred properly to pickups and back to inventory after pickup (afaik)
  
• Updated Core to Version5 (added /ban and /unban and /help has pages now!)
  
• Fixed some crash vulnerabilities in MCServer (Thanks Tim!)
  
• Fixed some exploits/bugs in the login sequence
  
• Perhaps the VC++ runtime executables are no longer needed under Windows
