ForgeGradle (probably sensibly) yells at me about doing this. However:
- There's a reasonable number of mods doing this, which establishes
some optimistic precedent.
- The licence update in Aug 2020 now allows you to use them for
"development purposes". I guess source code counts??
- I'm fairly sure this is also compatible with the CCPL - there's an
exception for Minecraft code.
The main motivation for this is to make the Fabric port a little
easier. Hopefully folks (maybe me in the future, we'll see) will no
longer have to deal with mapping hell when merging - only mod loader
hell.
So very little works, but it compiles and runs.
Things to resolve over the next few days:
- Horrible mappings (should largely be resolved by tomorrow).
- Cannot send extra data over containers - we'll have to see what Forge
does here.
- Turtle models are broken
- No block drops yet - this will largely be cherry-picking whatever I
did on Fabric.
- Weird inventory desyncs (items don't show up initially when
interacting with a CC inventory).
- Probably lots of other things.
Look, I originally had this split into several commits, but lots of
other cleanups got mixed in. I then backported some of the cleanups to
1.12, did other tidy ups there, and eventually the web of merges was
unreadable.
Yes, this is a horrible mess, but it's still nicer than it was. Anyway,
changes:
- Flatten everything. For instance, there are now three instances of
BlockComputer, two BlockTurtle, ItemPocketComputer. There's also no
more BlockPeripheral (thank heavens) - there's separate block classes
for each peripheral type.
- Remove pretty much all legacy code. As we're breaking world
compatibility anyway, we can remove all the code to load worlds from
1.4 days.
- The command system is largely rewriten to take advantage of 1.13's
new system. It's very fancy!
- WidgetTerminal now uses Minecraft's "GUI listener" system.
- BREAKING CHANGE: All the codes in keys.lua are different, due to the
move to LWJGL 3. Hopefully this won't have too much of an impact.
I don't want to map to the old key codes on the Java side, as there
always ends up being small but slight inconsistencies. IMO it's
better to make a clean break - people should be using keys rather
than hard coding the constants anyway.
- commands.list now allows fetching sub-commands. The ROM has already
been updated to allow fancy usage such as commands.time.set("noon").
- Turtles, modems and cables can be waterlogged.
OK, so let's get this out of the way, there's some actual changes mixed
in here too. I'm really sorry:
- Turtles can now not be renamed with unnamed item tags (previously it
would clear the name, this seemed a little unideal).
- commands.getBlock(s)Data will also include NBT.
Now, onto the horror story which is these inspection changes:
- Make a lot of methods static
- Typo fixes
- Make utility classes final + private constructor
- Lots of reformatting (ifs -> ternary, invert control flow, etc...)
- ???
- Profit!
I'm so going to regret this - can pretty much guarantee this is going to
break something.
It's rather embarassing that it's been restructured _again_, but I think
this is a nice middle-ground. The previous implementation was written
mostly for Fabric, which doesn't always map perfectly to Forge.
- Move the message identifier into the registration phrase. It's not
really a property of the message itself, rather a property of the
registry, so better suited there.
- Move message handling into the message itself. Honestly, it was just
ending up being rather messy mixing the logic in two places.
This also means we can drop some proxy methods, as it's easier to
have conditionally loaded methods.
- Move network registry into a dedicated class, as that's what we're
doing for everything else.
- Remove redundant constructors and super calls
- Standardise naming of texture fields
- Always use postfix notations for loops
- Cleanup several peripheral classes
Previously we would send computer state (labels, id, on/off) through the
ClientComputer rather than as part of the TE description. While this
mostly worked fine, it did end up making things more complex than they
needed to be.
We sync most data to the tile each tick, so there's little risk of
things getting out of date.
