Epic bloom (v0.9.p6)

Bloomy Vintarians!
Fanciness increased to Level 2

v0.9 Pre-Release 6 is now online for all owners of a game key

Yesterday I spent the major part of the day implementing a shader bloom effect and even got it all working by evening. What an impressive effect, it makes everything so pretty *_*
However if bloom is not your cup of tea you can reduce or disable it easily in the graphics setttings.

Let's have a look at the full list of...

Updates

• Bloom Shader effect
  • Added a glowiness level to particles and individual element faces of blocks to make them glow. Freely configurable for all blocks as always. Should allow for some epic Tron-Style Mods
  • Updated the VS Model Creator to allow entering of glow levels for each block element face
  • Added a switch in the graphics settings to enable/disable bloom calculations for performance. It's not very hard on the graphics card though. My cranky old GT 630M card gives me 53 FPS with bloom and 60 FPS without.
  • Added a slider in the gfx settings to set the ambient bloom between 0% and 200% 
• Worldgen
  • Doubled the size of the climate map, which results in the emerging biomes now being twice the size 
  • We finally have Deserts. I found the bug that prevented them from generating.
  • Saguaro Cacti are now generating in deserts. Also the cactus has an occasional flower now
  • Fixed Trees generating in the wrong climate
• Added rotated logs
• Changing the GUI Scale in the graphics settings is now much faster 
• The game installer now offers to uninstall the game in order to prevent old files messing up the game somehow
• Strafing while running now half as fast
• Changed grass blending (now more smooth over distance)
• Leaves and Branchy leaves blocks are now tinted by the climated. The branches are now a cross model inside the branchy leaves block.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a client crash during game startup for some people
• Probably fixed an old and rare client crash (that showed the message "Chunk has no data?").
  With that, all crashes known to me should be fixed \o/
• Fixed massive gpu memory leak because I forgot to enable 3 lines of code after testing something >.<
• Probably fixed certain mouse wheels jumping 2 hotbar slots
• Probably fixed all scrollbars moving slower than the mouse for some people
• Fixed pressing inventory key not closing an opened inventory
• Fixed some flower stem graphics too dark
• Fixed some minor memory leaks in some of the GUI elements
• Multiplayer
  • Fixed player no longer able to move around on the second time joining a multiplayer server
  • Fixed Teleport not working in multiplayer
  • Fixed one more instance of the game crashing instead of showing the disconnected screen
