Speakers now play sounds using a custom set of packets.
- When playing a sound, we send the resource id, position, volume,
pitch and a UUID for the _speaker_ to all nearby clients.
- This UUID is then used when we need to update the sound. When the
speaker is moved or destroyed, we send a new packet to clients and
update accordingly.
This does have one side effect, that speakers can now only play one
sound at a time. I think this is accceptable - otherwise it's possible
to spam ward in a loop.
Notes still use the old networking code, and so will not be affected.
Closes#823
- Remove the service provider code and require people to explicitly
register these. This is definitely more ugly, but easier than people
pulling in AutoService or similar!
- Add an API for registering capabilities.
- Expand the doc comments a little. Not sure how useful they'll be, but
let's see!
There's still so much work to be done on this, but it's a "good enough"
first step.
.getMethods() may throw if a method references classes which don't exist
(such as client-only classes on a server). This is an Error, and so is
unchecked - hence us not handling it before.
Fixes#645
illuaminate does not handle Java files, for obvious reasons. In order to
get around that, we have a series of stub files within /doc/stub which
mirrored the Java ones. While this works, it has a few problems:
- The link to source code does not work - it just links to the stub
file.
- There's no guarantee that documentation remains consistent with the
Java code. This change found several methods which were incorrectly
documented beforehand.
We now replace this with a custom Java doclet[1], which extracts doc
comments from @LuaFunction annotated methods and generates stub-files
from them. These also contain a @source annotation, which allows us to
correctly link them back to the original Java code.
There's some issues with this which have yet to be fixed. However, I
don't think any of them are major blockers right now:
- The custom doclet relies on Java 9 - I think it's /technically/
possible to do this on Java 8, but the API is significantly uglier.
This means that we need to run javadoc on a separate JVM.
This is possible, and it works locally and on CI, but is definitely
not a nice approach.
- illuaminate now requires the doc stubs to be generated in order for
the linter to pass, which does make running the linter locally much
harder (especially given the above bullet point).
We could notionally include the generated stubs (or at least a cut
down version of them) in the repo, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

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.
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.
