Moved the DimLink code out of NewDimData in order to reduce clutter
inside that class and made it a separate class, except for functions
that should only be available for NewDimData. Deleted IDimLink and
changed all references to it to use DimLink instead. DimLink is now an
abstract class, which achieves the same encapsulation and protection we
had before by having DimLink implement IDimLink from within NewDimData.
NewDimData has a new class inside, InnerDimLink, which provides it
access to special functions that would be dangerous to expose. This is
the same mechanism used to protect NewDimData's dangerous functions.
These changes are in preparation for adding more code for packet
handling.
Modified how links are created so that the caller must specify a link
type when the link is created, rather than setting it later. This was
done to avoid having to send two link data packets following the way
links would be handled logically. Turns out this was good idea overall
for ensuring link integrity, because there was one case where I forgot
to set the link type after creating the link.
Fixed the code in DDTeleporter and made minor changes to other classes
that depended on those fixes. Ensured that PocketManager's load, save,
and unload methods are called appropriately and rewrote some of their
code. Made various changes in other classes (e.g. EventHookContainer,
PlayerRespawnTracker) to pass them references to DDProperties through
their constructors instead of having them rely on
DDProperties.instance() - this is a better programming practice in the
long run.
Renamed initialization methods in mod_pocketDim to make it clear that
they're called on events. Commented out command registration in
mod_pocketDim so that we can test DD as soon as PacketHandler is fixed,
without worrying about fixing the command classes.
More cleaning up errors and code. There were a lot of things that needed
simplifying. Rather than fix the 3 or 5 copies of the same function
throughout the code, I made an effort to use the same function and
delete its copies.
Created the BaseItemDoor class to hold all the basic door item methods
that don't vary between types. That helped cut down on fixing things.
Also renamed the door item classes to match their in-game names.
There is still a ton of duplicate code out there.
Continued fixing things across various classes to make them work with
our new core classes. I've also cleaned up indentation and random code
snippets along the way.
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.
Renamed MobObelisk to MobMonolith. Renamed LimboSkyProvider and
PocketProvider to have Xs at the ends of their names. This is temporary
so that I can change the name's capitalization. Windows considers the
names the same because it's file naming is case insensitive.
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.
Moved CommonTickHandler into the ticking package in preparation for the
next change. Renamed CommandStartDungeonCreation to CommandCreatePocket,
since creation pockets of variable sizes will be its future role now
that it's not strictly necessary for exporting. Renamed
CommandEndDungeonCreation to CommandExportDungeon, since we no longer
have a dungeon creation process like before.
Improved code in PocketGenerator. Restricted Monolith generation to the
chunk in which populate() is being applied. We should not be generating
Monoliths outside that chunk. Changed condition that would exit the
function if the next available space for a Monolith was above Y = 245.
Exiting the function at that point made no sense.
I've realized that this placement algorithm has probably been patched up
several times and that's resulted in nonsensical code. For instance, the
loop continues as long as you continue finding higher points to place
Monoliths. That would suggest you intended to make columns of them. But
since the loop chooses random columns on each iteration goes back to Y =
0, you're really just jumping around and placing Monoliths in random
places, while using irrelevant checks to decide whether to continue. I
really recommend coming up with a different algorithm. I haven't
replaced it completely in case it would break something.
Cleaned up some of the code in PocketGenerator. Seeded the generation of
Monoliths as a function of the world seed. All of our randomized
selections should be functions of the world seed so people can exchange
seeds with cool DD features. I will rename the file to have proper
capitalization in the next commit. Then I have to fix Monolith spawning.
Also, don't use recursion as a way to loop functions if you could simply
have a loop. I'm referring to the way PocketGenerator.populate() calls
itself. Completely unnecessary.
Although fields were created in DDProperties for Monolith spawning and
Rift generation, they were mislabeled as reading the "World Rift
Generation Enabled" property. I gave them proper names. I also changed
the fields and names to be more intuitive and rewrote the descriptions.
For instance, "MonolithSpawnDensity" is a misnomer because as density
increases, there should be more Monoliths, not less. Now the properties
clearly state how they affect a feature. I rewrote the conditions that
used each property to correspond with those simplified descriptions and
gave the properties default values that will match the generation rates
seen before.
I also made the rift generation code less cryptic and fixed a bug; there
was a check that compared if a dimension was a pocket dimension by its
name to prevent rift generation. That name check was wrong - it would
never work. Now we check if the provider is an instance of
pocketProvider. That will continue working even if we change the way
that pocket dimensions are named.
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.
