This is an initial prototype for ways we could better integrate Lua's
asynchronous functionality (coroutines) with peripherals and other
Lua APIs.
The existing system assumes that coroutines each have a backing thread,
and so yields will suspect the current thread. This takes inspiration
from various "promise" libraries - asynchronous operations (such as
executing on the main thread or waiting for an event) return a promise -
the result of which can be consumed with `.then`.
While I am not aware of plans to change the Lua implementation, this
does give us greater flexibility in the future, leading the way for
Rembulan, single-threaded Cobalt, and even possibly OC support.
A lot of these don't actually have any effect as they'll only be called
on the main thread or they are getters where the state is guaranteed to
be consistent whenever it is accessed.
Hopefully this'll reduce the chance of world updates being blocked by
waiting for peripheral locks to be released.
- Make window.reposition's argument validation a little more strict.
Previously it would accept `window.reposition(x, y, width)` (no
height argument), just not act upon it.
- Use select instead of table.unpack within `pastebin run`.
- Use `parallel.waitForAny` instead of `waitForAll` within the dance
program.
- Pipe the entire help file into `textutils.pagedPrint`, rather than
doing it line by line.
- Remove bytecode loading disabling from bios.lua. This never worked
correctly, and serves little purpose as LuaJ is not vulnerable to
such exploits.
- Bump MinecraftForge version so we don't crash on load. Oh boy, all
the deprecation warnings.
- Inject IBundledEmitter and IBundledReceiver capabilities onto all
TileGenerics.
- Register a IBundledRedstoneProvider instance for IBundledEmitter.
This is a preliminary for updating to 1.13, as many of the name changes
apply to both. This will make it harder to remain consistent with
actual CC, though that will be less of a consideration when 1.13 hits.
When placing a sign against a tile entity (such as a turtle or chest),
we would consider that block the "placed" one instead, meaning the text
was never set. This solution isn't entirely ideal either, but short of
capturing block snapshots I'm not sure of a better solution.
Fixes#552
Effectively shift extracting the computer away from Plethora into CC:T.
Ideally we wouldn't need this at all, but Plethora does some funky
things with tick timings.
See SquidDev-CC/plethora#125
Player construction can get a little expensive, and this is exacerbated
by Sponge. We now cache a turtle's fake player (updating the position
every time it is requested) in order to reduce this overhead.
- The current page is always centred when rendering in a GUI, with
the turned pages moving from the sides.
- Pages are no longer evenly distributed from the centre - they follow
an exponential decay curve, so ones further out are closer together
(a bit like an open book).
- Render pages and books in item frames/in-hand (rather than just
single pages).
This currently does some very dirty things with z values in order to
prevent z-fighting. It would be nice to avoid that, though turning off
writing to the z buffer causes issues with the bounding box.
- Try to make drop capturing a little more generic. This now allows for
capturing a block's drop at a given position, as well as any drop
within a bounding box (for things which don't play nicely).
- Use as much of Minecraft's block breaking logic as possible,
hopefully simplifying things and making it more consistent with other
mods.
As we only send the terminal to players using the GUI, the map interface
was never updated. We now will also send the terminal state to whoever
has the computer in their inventory.
This also marks the terminal as dirty when a new player picks the pocket
computer up, hopefully preventing any desync issues which might occur
then.
Fixes#42.
- Fix text table only showing the first row (fixes#40)
- Do not emit alignment characters in monospace environments
- Reduce padding in monospace environments
Also make the output of dump consistent with that of the profiler: we
provide tp and view shortcuts for each computer.
- Slight airbrush effect for normal turtles. While this is only really
visible when upping the contrast, it's probably nice to fix.
- A few off-colour pixels for advanced turtles
This uses a custom ComputerCraft packet to send chat messages to the
client. When received, we delete all messages of the same category
before sending the new ones.
This avoids cluttering the chat with near-identical messages, and helps
make working with the "individual dump" command easier, as the previous
computer's dump output is deleted.
Also change the max height of the TextTable to 18, so it fits within
Minecraft's default chat limit.
This implements an argument format similar to LuaReqeust, as described
in dan200/ComputerCraft#515. The Lua argument checking code is a little
verbose and repetitive, but I'm not sure how to avoid that - we should
look into improving it in the future.
Closes#21
- fixed circumflex typo: you can now cîrcûmflêx on all your friends
- added comment making it clearer that the following lines are intended for backwards compatibility.
Whilst the legacy ones are important for backwards compatibility, they
cannot have an ID of 0, which introduces issues when they are the first
disk created in the world.
This allows us to track how much work various peripherals are doing.
This will not work with all systems, such as Plethora, as that has its
own execution system.
The limit was added to prevent people creating arbitrarily large buffers
(for instance, handle.read(2^31) would create a 2GB char array). For
"large" counts, we now read in blocks of size 8192, adding to an
extendable buffer.
- Add additional maven metadata and strip dependencies
- Shift ICommand registration into the proxy, to avoid class loading
issues. This is probably rather temperamental, but classloading
always is.
- Trackers are created per-user, meaning multiple people can run
/computercraft track at once.
- Allow sorting the tracking information by arbitrary fields.
- Add support for tracking arbitrary fields (though none are currently
implemented).
- Abstract peripheral ID and type checking into separate class
- Update peripherals directly rather than marking as invalid then
fetching from the network.
- Update peripherals when adjacent tiles change
This does result in a slightly more ugly interface, but reduces the
amount of work needed to perform partial updates of peripherals, such as
those done by neighbouring tile updates.
