- Switch to a fairly standard code format. This is largely based on
IntelliJ defaults, with some minor tweaks applied via editor config.
Should mean people don't need to import a config!
- Use "var" everywhere instead of explicit types. Type inference is a
joy, and I intend to use it to its fullest.
- Start using switch expressions: we couldn't use them before because
IntelliJ does silly things with our previous brace style, but now we
have the luxury of them!
- Add a new file_transfer event. This has the signature
"file_transfer", TransferredFiles.
TransferredFiles has a single method getFiles(), which returns a list
of all transferred files.
- Add a new "import" program which waits for a file_transfer event and
writes files to the current directory.
- If a file_transfer event is not handled (i.e. its getFiles() method
is not called) within 5 seconds on the client, we display a toast
informing the user on how to upload a file.
- Lots of refactoring/cleanup to Forge's events and client APIs.
- Render types/layers for blocks are now set on the model rather than
in code.
- Models now can work with multiple render types. As this would
massively complicate the implementation of the turtle item model, we
now implement a much simpler version, which makes use of Forge's
BakedModel.getRenderPasses to return a separate model for the core
turtle and each upgrade.
- Send monitor contents to players immediately when they start watching
the chunk. ChunkWatchEvent.Watch is now fired from a more sensible
location, so this is much easier to implement!
Rather than blanket disabling http with http.enabled. I think it's still
useful to keep the option around, but hopefully make it clearer what the
ramifications are.
- Rewrap everything at 80 columns. To make this tolerable I'm using
IDEA's language fragment support - hence the absurd line lengths.
- Add full stops to all comments.
- Clarify that HTTP rules are applied in-order.
I don't think anybody actually used these, and I'm not convinced they
had much value anyway.
It might be worth switching the refueling code to work as a registry
instead, though events are kinda nice.
- Remap everything to use MojMap class names too. This is what Forge
uses, so \o/.
This does NOT currently rename any classes to use suffix notation or
BlockEntity. That will come in a later change. We do however rename
references of "World" to "Level".
- Move the test mod into a separate "cctest" source set. As Forge now
works using Jigsaw we cannot have multiple mods defining the same
package, which causes problems with our JUnit test classes.
- Remove our custom test framework and replace it with vanilla's (this
is no longer stripped from the jar). RIP kotlin coroutines.
It's still worth using Kotlin here though, just for extension
methods.
- Other 1.17-related changes:
- Use separate tile/block entity tick methods for server and client
side, often avoiding ticking at all on the client.
- Switch much of the monitor rendering code to use vanilla's
built-in shader system. It's still an incredibly ugly hack, so not
really expecting this to work with any rendering mods, but we'll
cross that bridge when we come to it.
This uses Netty's global traffic shaping handlers to limit the rate at
which packets can be sent and received. If the bandwidth limit is hit,
we'll start dropping packets, which will mean remote servers send
traffic to us at a much slower pace.
This isn't perfect, as there is only a global limit, and not a
per-computer one. As a result, its possible for one computer to use
all/most bandwidth, and thus slow down other computers.
This would be something to improve on in the future. However, I've spent
a lot of time reading the netty source code and docs, and the
implementation for that is significantly more complex, and one I'm not
comfortable working on right now.
For the time being, this satisfies the issues in #33 and hopefully
alleviates server owner's concerns about the http API. Remaining
problems can either be solved by moderation (with help of the
//computercraft track` command) or future updates.
Closes#33
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.
This is a long way away from "feature complete" as it were. However,
it's definitely at a point where it's suitable for general usage - I'm
happy with the API, and don't think I'm going to be breaking things any
time soon.
That said, things aren't exposed yet for Java-side public consumption. I
was kinda waiting until working on Plethora to actually do that, but not
sure if/when that'll happen.
If someone else wants to work on an integration mod (or just adding
integrations for their own mod), do get in touch and I can work out how
to expose this.
Closes#452
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.
This exposes a basic peripheral for any tile entity which does not have methods
already registered. We currently provide the following methods:
- Inventories: size, list, getItemMeta, pushItems, pullItems.
- Energy storage: getEnergy, getEnergyCapacity
- Fluid tanks: tanks(), pushFluid, pullFluid.
These methods are currently experimental - it must be enabled through
`experimental.generic_peripherals`. While this is an initial step towards
implementing #452, but is by no means complete.
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.
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 replaces the allow/block lists with a series of rules. Each rule
takes the form
[[http.rules]]
host = "127.0.0.0/8"
action = "block"
This is pretty much the same as the previous config style, in that hosts
may be domains, wildcards or in CIDR notation. However, they may also be
mixed, so you could allow a specific IP, and then block all others.
This is a backport of 1.15's terminal rendering code with some further
improvements. This duplicates a fair bit of code, and is much more
efficient.
I expect the work done in #409 will supersede this, but that's unlikely
to make its way into the next release so it's worth getting this in for
now.
- Refactor a lot of common terminal code into
`FixedWithFontRenderer`. This shouldn't change any behaviour, but
makes a lot of our terminal renderers (printed pages, terminals,
monitors) a lot cleaner.
- Terminal rendering is done using a single mode/vertex format. Rather
than drawing an untextured quad for the background colours, we use an
entirely white piece of the terminal font. This allows us to batch
draws together more elegantly.
- Some minor optimisations:
- Skip rendering `"\0"` and `" "` characters. These characters occur
pretty often, especially on blank monitors and, as the font is empty
here, it is safe to skip them.
- Batch together adjacent background cells of the same colour. Again,
most terminals will have large runs of the same colour, so this is a
worthwhile optimisation.
These optimisations do mean that terminal performance is no longer
consistent as "noisy" terminals will have worse performance. This is
annoying, but still worthwhile.
- Switch monitor rendering over to use VBOs.
We also add a config option to switch between rendering backends. By
default we'll choose the best one compatible with your GPU, but there
is a config option to switch between VBOS (reasonable performance) and
display lists (bad).
When benchmarking 30 full-sized monitors rendering a static image, this
improves my FPS[^1] from 7 to 95. This is obviously an extreme case -
monitor updates are still slow, and so more frequently updating screens
will still be less than stellar.
[^1]: My graphics card is an Intel HD Graphics 520. Obviously numbers
will vary.
It hasn't been http_enable for yonks - slightly worried I didn't notice
this earlier.
Also don't refer to ComputerCraft.cfg - the name has changed several
times across versions, so let's leave it ambiguous.
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.
