Threw out the complicated architecture that I'd made for synchronizing
server and client data perfectly. Instead, we now send just enough data
to the client and the resulting code is simpler. Some of the client-side
code is also done so all packet handling should be finished soon.
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.
Started rewriting our packet handling code. Deleted PacketHandler in
favor of using sided (Server-, Client-) packet handlers to make it
easier to follow what's going on in our code. Added some event-based
handling of updates which greatly simplified signaling that data needs
to be sent, but it's not completely done yet.
Moved all configuration variables from mod_pocketDim to DDProperties
(formerly DimDoorsConfig). Changed property names to be clearer in
config file, modified some comments, and generally cleaned up the config
file. Fixed some missing properties and variables that were reading from
the wrong properties. Modified the order in which mod_pocketDim
instantiated some of its static fields so that they would load after
properties are read. Almost all classes load after properties are read.
Fixed indentation across various files and replaced references to
properties in mod_pocketDim with references to DDProperties.
