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.
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.
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.
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.
If mod loading fails, we'll continue to load colour handlers. As
blocks/items have not been registered, then we'll throw an NPE.
See MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge#5682. Somewhat fixes#168.
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.
Are most of these changes small and petty? Yes. However, IMO they do
make the code more readable. Anyway, a summary of some of the more
interesting changes:
- Expose Abstract*Upgrade classes in the API
- Fix the spelling of Jonathan in the API docs (*shakes fist*)
- Fix bug with printout not working in the offhand.
- Rename any argments/variables accidentally named "m_*", and add an
inspection to prevent it happening again.
- Remove most of the Block*.Properties classes - just inline them in
the parent class.
- Return super.writeToNBT instead of reassigning at the top.
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.
- Move container opening (and gui handling) into a separate class
- Move turtle/computer placement code onto the block
- GUIs now use gui{Left,Top} instead of calculating it manually.
- IPeripheralTile is now exposed in the API.
This is far more elegant than our weird method of baking things and
manually inserting them into the model map. Also means we no longer need
the whole turtle_dynamic thing.
This means we can avoid several rather ugly instances of getItemBlock
and a cast. We also derive the ItemBlock's registered name from the
block's name, which makes the register a little less ugly.
- All "named" entries (blocks, items, recipes, TEs and pocket/turtle
upgrades) are registeredin one place.
- Most client side models/textures are registered in ClientRegistry -
we can't do item colours or TEs for now, as these aren't event based.
- A little cleanup to how we handle ItemPocketComputer models.
