- Add a TOC to the Local IPs page.
- Increase the echo delay in our speaker audio page to 1.5s. This
sounds much better and is less clashy than 1s. Also add a
sleep(0) (eww, I know) to fix timeouts on some browsers/computers.
- Move Lua feature compat to a new "reference" section. Still haven't
figured out how to structure these docs - open to any ideas really.
- Mention FFmpeg as an option for converting to DFPWM (closes#1075).
- Allow data-mount to override built-in files. See my comment in #1069.
- Start making the summary lines for modules a little better. Just say
what the module does, rather than "The X API does Y" or "Provides Y".
There's still a lot of work to be done here.
- Bundle prism.js on the page, so we can highlight non-Lua code.
- Copy our local_ips wiki page to the main docs.
- For TBOs, we now pass cursor position, colour and blink state as
variables to the shader, and use them to overlay the cursor texture
in the right place.
As we no longer need to render the cursor, we can skip the depth
buffer, meaning we have to do one fewer upload+draw cycle.
- For VBOs, we bake the cursor into the main VBO, and switch between
rendering n and n+1 quads. We still need the depth blocker, but can
save one upload+draw cycle when the cursor is visible.
This saves significant time on the TBO renderer - somewhere between 4
and 7ms/frame, which bumps us up from 35 to 47fps on my test world (480
full-sized monitors, changing every tick). [Taken on 1.18, but should be
similar on 1.16]
Like #455, this sets our uniforms via a UBO rather than having separate
ones for each value. There are a couple of small differences:
- Have a UBO for each monitor, rather than sharing one and rewriting it
every monitor. This means we only need to update the buffer when the
monitor changes.
- Use std140 rather than the default layout. This means we don't have
to care about location/stride in the buffer.
Also like #455, this doesn't actually seem to result in any performance
improvements for me. However, it does make it a bit easier to handle a
large number of uniforms.
Also cleans up the generation of the main monitor texture buffer:
- Move buffer generation into a separate method - just ensures that it
shows up separately in profilers.
- Explicitly pass the position when setting bytes, rather than
incrementing the internal one. This saves some memory reads/writes (I
thought Java optimised them out, evidently not!). Saves a few fps
when updating.
- Use DSA when possible. Unclear if it helps at all, but nice to do :).

We're still a few days away from release, but don't think anything else
is going to change. And I /really/ don't want to have to write this
changelog (and then merge into later versions) on the 25th.
While Minecraft will automatically push a new buffer when one is
exhausted, this doesn't help if there's only a single buffer in the
queue, and you end up with stutter.
By enquing a buffer when receiving sound we ensure there's always
something queued. I'm not 100% happy with this solution, but it does
alleviate some of the concerns in #993.
Also reduce the size of the client buffer to 0.5s from 1.5s. This is
still enough to ensure seamless audio when the server is running slow (I
tested at 13 tps, but should be able to go much worse).
Speakers can now play arbitrary PCM audio, sampled at 48kHz and with a
resolution of 8 bits. Programs can build up buffers of audio locally,
play it using `speaker.playAudio`, where it is encoded to DFPWM, sent
across the network, decoded, and played on the client.
`speaker.playAudio` may return false when a chunk of audio has been
submitted but not yet sent to the client. In this case, the program
should wait for a speaker_audio_empty event and try again, repeating
until it works.
While the API is a little odd, this gives us fantastic flexibility (we
can play arbitrary streams of audio) while still being resilient in the
presence of server lag (either TPS or on the computer thread).
Some other notes:
- There is a significant buffer on both the client and server, which
means that sound take several seconds to finish after playing has
started. One can force it to be stopped playing with the new
`speaker.stop` call.
- This also adds a `cc.audio.dfpwm` module, which allows encoding and
decoding DFPWM1a audio files.
- I spent so long writing the documentation for this. Who knows if it'll
be helpful!
- Remove all the hungrarian notation in variables. Currently leaving
the format of rednet messages for now, while I work out whether this
counts as part of the public API or not.
- Fix the "repeat" program failing with broadcast packets. This was
introduced in #900, but I don't think anybody noticed. Will be more
relevant when #955 is implemented though.
This means that if the current player is breaking a cable/wired modem,
only the part they're looking at has breaking progress. Closes#355.
A mixin is definitely not the cleanest way to do this. There's a couple
of alternatives:
- CodeChickenLib's approach of overriding the BlockRendererDispatcher
instance with a delegating subclasss. One mod doing this is fine,
several is Not Great.o
- Adding a PR to Forge: I started this, and it's definitely the ideal
solution, but any event for this would have a ton of fields and just
ended up looking super ugly.
Peripherals can now have multiple types:
- A single primary type. This is the same as the current idea of a
type - some identifier which (mostly) uniquely identifies this kind
of peripheral. For instance, "speaker" or "minecraft:chest".
- 0 or more "additional" types. These are more like traits, and
describe what other behaviour the peripheral has - is it an
inventory? Does it supply additional peripherals (like a wired
modem)?.
This is mostly intended for the generic peripheral system, but it might
prove useful elsewhere too - we'll have to see!
- peripheral.getType (and modem.getTypeRemote) now returns 1 or more
values, rather than exactly one.
- Add a new peripheral.hasType (and modem.hasTypeRemote) function which
determines if a peripheral has the given type (primary or
additional).
- Change peripheral.find and all internal peripheral methods to use
peripheral.hasType instead.
- Update the peripherals program to show all types
This effectively allows you to do things like
`peripheral.find("inventory")` to find all inventories.
This also rewrites the introduction to the peripheral API, hopefully
making it a little more useful.
- Bump copy-cat version to have support for initial files in
directories and the blit fixes.
- Add an example nft image and move example nfp into a data/ directory.
- Fix nft parser not resetting colours on the start of each line.
Let's see how this goes.
- Update references to the new repo
- Use rrsync on the server, meaning make-doc.sh uploads relative to the
website root.
- Bump Gradle wrapper to 7.2. Not related to this change, but possibly
fixes running under Java 16. Possibly.
Yes, I know this is a terrible feature. But it's been a long week and
I'm so tired.
Also fix the ordering in motd_spec. Who thought putting the month first
was reasonable?
When placed in the off hand, pocket computers now render a different
screen when opened in the off-hand, just rendering text at the top of
the screen rather than "opening" the whole computer.
This means you can view the world and computer in your hand at the
same time, effectively allowing you to emulate the
Plethora/MoarPeripherals keyboard (and much more).
This currently requires you to move the pocket computer to the other
hand to open it normally. I did look into allowing for shift+right click
to open normally, but this is awkward when you're looking at a something
like a monitor - you need to shift as otherwise you'd click the block!
Plethora hooks into onItemUseFirst instead, and this might be an option
in the future - meaning that right click would always open some computer
GUI and never the blocks. This may be something we change in the future
- let's get some feedback first!
Closes#861. Apologies for this essay, but if you got this far you were
probably interested!
As always, a massive diff which is largely just moving files between
projects. This does fix a couple of issues with advancements, but
otherwise should behave the same.
Speaking of which, should probably go and test some of these recipes...
Plan here is to release 1.98 for 1.16.x and 1.17.x and 1.97.1 for
1.15.x. However, will let this sit for a few days while I sort out 1.98
and the 1.17 port just in case any more bugs pop up.
Also add a test for rednet message sending. Hopefully gives some of the
modem and networking code a little bit of coverage (which is clearly the
same as being right :p).
When exiting paint via the keyboard by typing "Ctrl" then "E"
separately, we consume the "key" event within paint, leaving the shell
to consume "read".
To avoid this, we run a sleep(0) to gobble any other left-over events.
Note, it's generally not enough to run a queueEvent/pullEvent here, as
the char event may not have ended up on the queue yet. Alas, as this
solution is pretty ugly.
- Allow help files to use the ".md" suffix, and move changelog/whatsnew
to use them.
- When files end with ".md", the "help" program attempts to highlight
them. This involves:
- Colour code blocks with a lightGrey background.
- Replace lists to use bullet points instead of "-"/"*".
- Colours headings yellow.
The implementation of this is a bit janky because a) I wrote this and
b) we need to run this step before text wrapping, but preserve
colours and section positions over wrapping (thanks to Jack for
getting this working).
- Add section navigation to the help viewer, with left/right to move to
the next/previous section.
Closes#569
