Continued building a system for transferring the complete internal
states of our dimensions from the server to the client. However, Steven
suggested that clients only need minimal data to operate properly, as
opposed to the server. My motivation for this more complicated system
was the concern that minimal information wouldn't be enough. I'm going
to commit my progress, then tear it down and write a much simpler
version.
1. Changed DungeonSchematic to use an external instance of Random rather
than initializing its own.
2. Created the Pair class, a strongly-typed tuple that was needed in
PocketBuilder.
3. Added a missing calculation in NewDimData for setting the packDepth
field during dungeon initialization.
4. Finished code missing in PocketBuilder. Changes listed above were
needed for this.
Replaced several core classes from DD with new classes to enforce
integrity checks. Rewriting everything that depended on those classes is
a massive undertaking but it should simplify our code and prevent the
many bugs we've seen lately. The rewrite isn't done yet, just committing
my progress so far.
Created NewLinkData and replaced references to the original LinkData.
Moved it to the mod_pocketDim.core package. Added Point4D, an immutable
point type for 3D integer coordinates with an added dimension ID.
Completed a basic version of configurable dungeon chains. Almost all of
the final funcionality is present. However, the configuration is
hardcoded at the moment, not read from a file. This was done for testing
purposes. I'll add reading from config files soon.
Dungeon packs are partially implemented. Built-in and custom dungeons
are currently thrown into the default pack, Ruins. The next step is to
generalize the dungeon registration code in DungeonHelper so that we can
detect dungeon packs, read their config files, and register dungeons
with their corresponding pack. dd-export will need to support packs as
well. dd-rift will have issues dealing with duplicate dungeon names
across packs, but this isn't a major concern and can be dealt with in
the long term.
Completed enough of the implementation and integration to compile DD.
Some portions of the code are only for testing and will be removed
later. The configuration for default dungeons is hardcoded - we can
parse config files once we're certain that dungeon chains work. At the
moment, dungeons generate but it doesn't seem like the rules we set are
being followed properly.
Renamed OptimizedRule to DungeonChainRule, and renamed the old
DungeonChainRule to DungeonChainRuleDefinition, to match the role of
each class better. Added some hax to DungeonGenerator to get packs
integrated - the implementation will be much cleaner once the new save
format is done.
Overhauled the way in which CommonTickHandler triggers tick-based
actions such as Limbo decay, spawning Monoliths, and regenerating rifts.
Now CommonTickHandler implements an interface called IRegularTickSender,
which indicates that it will periodically call on classes that implement
IRegulatTickReceiver to perform some task. I added classes for each
regularly scheduled task we were performing: MonolithSpawner and
RiftRegenerator, plus converted LimboDecay to a normal class instead of
a static class. Modified several classes so that they have access to
the MonolithSpawner instance to request MonolithSpawning when needed.
This improves the structure of our code and gets us away from the way we
did things before, which was accessing a public static list inside
CommonTickHandler from other classes and adding arrays to specify chunk
coordinates. We should not be exposing the internal state of classes
like that! And we should be using clearly defined objects to pass
information.
Optimized the selection of random dungeons with weights applied. We now
have a class called WeightedContainer for taping into Minecraft's
weighted selection code without having to extend the WeightedRandomItem
class. Using that, we no longer need to keep a list with duplicate
dungeons to achieve weighted selection, so I removed that variable.
