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.
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.
- 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.
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.
- Move the "world directory" getter out of the proxy - we can just use
Forge's code here.
- Remove the server proxies, as both were empty. We don't tend to
register any dedicated-server specific code, so I think we can leave
them out.
- 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.
This offers several advantages
- Less registration code: the subscribers are reigstered automatically,
and we don't need to worry about sided-proxies.
- We no longer have so many .instance() calls.
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.
Some methods act the same on both sides, and so can be in utility
classes. Others are only needed on one side, and so do not really need
to be part of the proxy.
- Remove TurtleVisionCamera. It would be possible to add this back in
the future, but for now it is unused and so should be removed.
- Move frame info (cursor blink, current render frame) into a
FrameInfo class.
- Move record methods (name, playing a record) into a RecordUtil class.
This ends up being slightly cleaner as we can rely on Minecraft's own
model dependency system. Also reduces reliance on Forge's APIs, which
_potentially_ makes porting a little easier.
This is implemented in a rather ugly way: we register a client command
(/computercraft_copy) which updates the clipboard, and run that via a
click handler on the chat message.
This hopefully makes wired modems a little easier to use. We'll see.
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.
These act similarly to conventional wired modems, but with the advantage
that they are a full block. This means they can be attached to
peripherals which are not solid (such as chests). Further more, as they
do not have a direction, they allow wrapping peripherals on all 6 sides.
It's worth noting that wired modems do not require a cable - they will
automatically form connections to adjacent network elements when placed.
This splits the computer state (blinking, label, etc...) and terminal
state into two separate packets. When a computer changes, the computer
state is sent to all players and the terminal state is sent to players
who are curerntly using the computer.
This reduces network usage by a substantial amount.
- Cable and modem can be broken individually
- Ray tracing will go through "holes" in the cable.
- Pick block will determine which part you are looking at.
- Selection box will only highlight the region you are looking at:
modem or cable.
Breaking a disk drive was not stopping the record being played as the
block event never reached the client. Instead, we send a custom packet
which starts/stops music at a given location.
We also remove all the plumbing for eventReceived/sendBlockEvent from
the generic block/tile classes, as they are no longer used.
Closes#443
