- Refer to this as "data" rather than "metadata". I'm still not sure
where the meta came from - blame OpenPeripheral I guess.
- Likewise, use getItemDetail within inventory methods, rather than
getItemMeta.
- Refactor common data-getting code into one class. This means that
turtle.getItemDetail, turtle.inspect and commands.getBlockInfo all
use the same code.
- turtle.getItemDetail now accepts a second "detailed" parameter which
will include the full metadata (#471, #452).
- Tags are now only included in the detailed list. This is a breaking
change, however should only affect one version (1.89.x) and I'm not
convinced that the previous behaviour was safe.
This allows for configuring the size of computers and pocket computers,
as well as the max size of monitors.
There's several limitations with the current implementation, but it's
still "good enough" for an initial release:
- Turtles cannot be resized.
- GUIs do not scale themselves, so "large" sizes will not render within
the default resolution.
Well, mostly. We currently don't do recipe serializers as I'm a little
too lazy. For items, blocks and TE types this does make registration
nicer - we've some helper functions which help reduce duplication.
Some types (containers, TEs, etc..) are a little less nice, as we now
must define the registry object (i.e. the WhateverType<?>) in a separate
class to the class it constructs. However, it's probably a worthwhile
price to pay.
We never added back replacing of ${version} strings, which means that CC
was reporting incorrect version numbers in _HOST, the user agent and
network versions. This meant we would allow connections even on
mismatched versions (#464).
We shift all version handling into ComputerCraftAPI(Impl) - this now
relies on Forge code, so we don't want to run it in emulators.
This moves monitor networking into its own packet, rather than serialising
using NBT. This allows us to be more flexible with how monitors are
serialised.
We now compress terminal data using gzip. This reduces the packet size
of a max-sized-monitor from ~25kb to as little as 100b.
On my test set of images (what I would consider to be the extreme end of
the "reasonable" case), we have packets from 1.4kb bytes up to 12kb,
with a mean of 6kb. Even in the worst case, this is a 2x reduction in
packet size.
While this is a fantastic win for the common case, it is not abuse-proof.
One can create a terminal with high entropy (and so uncompressible). This
will still be close to the original packet size.
In order to prevent any other abuse, we also limit the amount of monitor
data a client can possibly receive to 1MB (configurable).
timetout, max_upload, max_download and max_websocket_message may now be
configured on a domain-by-domain basis. This uses the same system that
we use for the block/allow-list from before:
Example:
[[http.rules]]
host = "*"
action = "allow"
max_upload = 4194304
max_download = 16777216
timeout = 30000
This registers IPeripheral as a capability. As a result, all (Minecraft
facing) functionality operates using LazyOptional<_>s instead.
Peripheral providers should now return a LazyOptional<IPeripheral> too.
Hopefully this will allow custom peripherals to mark themselves as
invalid (say, because a dependency has changed).
While peripheral providers are somewhat redundant, they still have their
usages. If a peripheral is applied to a large number of blocks (for
instance, all inventories) then using capabilities does incur some
memory overhead.
We also make the following changes based on the above:
- Remove the default implementation for IWiredElement, migrating the
definition to a common "Capabilities" class.
- Remove IPeripheralTile - we'll exclusively use capabilities now.
Absurdly this is the most complex change, as all TEs needed to be
migrated too.
I'm not 100% sure of the correctness of this changes so far - I've
tested it pretty well, but blocks with more complex peripheral logic
(wired/wireless modems and turtles) are still a little messy.
- Remove the "command block" peripheral provider, attaching a
capability instead.
When creating a peripheral or custom Lua object, one must implement two
methods:
- getMethodNames(): String[] - Returns the name of the methods
- callMethod(int, ...): Object[] - Invokes the method using an index in
the above array.
This has a couple of problems:
- It's somewhat unwieldy to use - you need to keep track of array
indices, which leads to ugly code.
- Functions which yield (for instance, those which run on the main
thread) are blocking. This means we need to spawn new threads for
each CC-side yield.
We replace this system with a few changes:
- @LuaFunction annotation: One may annotate a public instance method
with this annotation. This then exposes a peripheral/lua object
method.
Furthermore, this method can accept and return a variety of types,
which often makes functions cleaner (e.g. can return an int rather
than an Object[], and specify and int argument rather than
Object[]).
- MethodResult: Instead of returning an Object[] and having blocking
yields, functions return a MethodResult. This either contains an
immediate return, or an instruction to yield with some continuation
to resume with.
MethodResult is then interpreted by the Lua runtime (i.e. Cobalt),
rather than our weird bodgey hacks before. This means we no longer
spawn new threads when yielding within CC.
- Methods accept IArguments instead of a raw Object array. This has a
few benefits:
- Consistent argument handling - people no longer need to use
ArgumentHelper (as it doesn't exist!), or even be aware of its
existence - you're rather forced into using it.
- More efficient code in some cases. We provide a Cobalt-specific
implementation of IArguments, which avoids the boxing/unboxing when
handling numbers and binary strings.
- Remove the parenthesis around the text (so it's now
"Computer ID: 12"), rather than "(Computer ID: 12").
- Show the tooltip if the computer has an ID and no label (as well as
when in advanced mode).
Most of the port is pretty simple. The main problems are regarding
changes to Minecraft's rendering system.
- Remove several rendering tweaks until Forge's compatibility it
brought up-to-date
- Map rendering for pocket computers and printouts
- Item frame rendering for printouts
- Custom block outlines for monitors and cables/wired modems
- Custom breaking progress for cables/wired modems
- Turtle "Dinnerbone" rendering is currently broken, as normals are not
correctly transformed.
- Rewrite FixedWidthFontRenderer to to the buffer in a single sweep.
In order to do this, the term_font now also bundles a "background"
section, which is just a blank region of the screen.
- Render monitors using a VBO instead of a call list. I haven't
compared performance yet, but it manages to render a 6x5 array of
_static_ monitors at almost 60fps, which seems pretty reasonable.
This is sufficiently useful a class, that it's worthwhile exposing it.
Hopefully we can slowly encourage other mods to migrate to it (well, at
least in 1.14), and so make error messages more consistent.
Also:
- Add Javadoc for all public methods
- Clarify the method names a little (getNumber -> getDouble,
getReal -> getFiniteDouble).
- Make the *Table methods return a Map<?,?> instead of
Map<Object, Object>.
Closes#293. Doesn't really solve anything there aside from exposing the
number, but sadly there's not really anything obvious I can do on my end
- the command API just doesn't expose anything else.
- Add Forge's "name" field to the loot tables. This doesn't resolve all
our missing loot providers, but it's a start.
- Add back GUIs for pocket computers, printouts, view computer, etc...
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.
- Adds a CheckStyle configuration which is pretty similar to CC's
existing one.
- Add the Gradle license plugin.
- Ensure the existing source code is compatible with these additional
checks.
