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.
Started implementing our support for dungeon packs. The code is not
usable yet and the mod is not functional at this stage. A few additional
changes should make it testable. A significant obstacle to implementing
dungeon packs easily is that DungeonGenerator doesn't have some
necessary information and shouldn't be modified. Even if it is modified,
old serialized instances wouldn't have the new fields initialized. I'm
having to create workarounds until we implement the new save format.
DungeonPack handles all of the logic of selecting a dungeon and
verifying whether its type is valid. It relies on DungeonChainRule and
OptimizedRule to check which dungeons should be generated next given a
list of the dungeons in a chain. DungeonType maps types in packs to ID
numbers and provides a reference to the pack that owns the type.
DungeonPackConfig will carry config information to be passed to the
DungeonPack constructor.
Removed glass from the list of blocks immune to rifts. That was just a
temporary change so that I could check how rifts were destroying blocks
in a controlled manner.
Made it so rifts destroy blocks in layers rather than destroying random
surrounding blocks, even through indestructible blocks. This resolves
issue #24.
Made rifts check block hardness while replacing blocks so that we can
avoid destroying strong or indestructible blocks from other mods.
Updated references throughout the code to use a function in BlockRift
for this purpose.
Added support for rotating the metadata of powered tracks and detector
tracks. Also made a minor change to DungeonSchematic to protect its
internal state.
Changed BlockRotator so that missing stair types are recognized for
applying rotations. The general code for all stairs was there but the
block IDs for wooden and brick stairs weren't recognized. Also removed a
duplicate reference to nether brick stairs.
Simplified metadata rotation code by only having a single function that
rotates metadata by 90 degrees clockwise and applying it repeatedly for
180 and 270 degree rotations. Removed flipDoorMetadata() from dimHelper
and replaced all references to it with references to BlockRotator. This
makes all our rotations reference a single function. Replaced hardcoded
rotation in DungeonSchematic.
Added support for wood (tree trunk) and quartz pillar metadata
rotations.
Converted the doors in our schematics into doors from DD. Also converted
mangled block IDs into Fabric of Reality and wiped all tile entities
from Steven's schematics to remove prefilled chests that had been
included somehow. Changed DungeonSchematic to expect mod doors now. This
means we can include Vanilla doors in our designs and they will not be
converted anymore.
This process was done by automatically re-exporting all of our dungeons
multiple times, so it serves as a good test that importing and exporting
are working properly. We confirmed by thorough testing that our
schematics load properly into WorldEdit. MCedit, unfortunately, does not
handle them right. We believe this is a bug in MCedit, NOT with us.
Fixed rifts not moving correctly when moving dungeons to stay inside
world bounds
Regular pockets stay in world bounds.
RiftRegenerator no longer NPEs
Fixes#48, #63
Changed SchematicLoader to use new dimHelper functions to move links
around. This should have allowed us to shift dungeons safely.
Unfortunately, Minecraft still crashes, so the link functions aren't
working as advertised. Please figure out what's going on. >_< The code
is done, it's just link issues that prevent it from working.
Completed changes so that our code uses registerDungeon() (formerly
registerCustomDungeons() ) to register all dungeons, both bundled with
the mod and custom ones. Made some changes to the code to hide
implementation details from other classes. Also, I had some problems
with old dungeons being mixed into the renamed ones. I had to remove
fallingTNThall from the schematics folder and deleted the WIP folder
because I think we have completed versions of those schematics already.
Some of our dungeons have pre-filled chests and the contents are more
generous than our current loot system (e.g. ruinsO has a prefilled
chest). I'll have to wipe all the chests later.
Forgot to fix a reference to DungeonHelper in CommandCreateDungeonRift
during the last commit. Made some further improvements to DungeonHelper
to avoid exposing internal variables.
Removed hardcoded references to all our internal dungeons. The code will
be replaced by reading from a list in the next commit. Renamed
customDungeons to untaggedDungeons and removed registration of tagged
dungeons into that list. Now all tagged dungeons (custom and internal)
are listed in registeredDungeons. Fixed the comparator used to sort
dungeon names so that it sorts them case insensitively.
We now check whether structure generation is allowed. This can be
configured on servers and when creating single-player worlds. If set to
false, Rift Gateways will not generate. Rift clusters still generate.
That was an intentional feature - we could make the setting disable
those as well if we want.
DDProperties will now throw an exception that should crash Minecraft if
the user tries to use invalid block IDs for worldgen blocks. Should save
everyone some suffering.
Added code to SchematicLoader to adjust the Y coordinate of the
destination link into a dungeon before the dungeon is created.
IMPORTANT: The code is commented out at the moment because it causes a
link-related NullPointerException. A link needs to be updated through
DimHelper but the code is hard to follow so I've decided to just not
touch it - Steven will have to do it.
The function adjustDestinationY() checks if the given entrance location
would place any portion of the dungeon outside the vertical bounds of
the world. If so, it corrects the location while moving it as little as
possible from its original place.
Also added some checks to make sure that any schematic we load has an
entrance door. Otherwise, load defaultBreak instead. And I cut down on
the absurd number of compiler warnings in dimHelper. <_< Stop accessing
static fields as instance fields!
Added validation to SchematicLoader that prevents dungeons beyond
certain maximum dimensions from being loaded. Our current limits are the
same as the largest dungeon we could export. Rewrote
generateDungeonPocket() to handle that possible failure better.
Made a minor change to DungeonSchematic so that it replaces foreign mod
blocks with the standardized FoR ID on export. Previously it used the
Forge-assigned ID, but since that happens after ID standardization, it
could cause us to export non-standard IDs.
Fixed the bugs that caused doors not to appear right in dungeons. First
there was a bug with filters that caused them not to replace blocks
properly. I made some changes to SchematicFilter and its derived classes
so that the implementations are a little more intuitive. That should
prevent those bugs in any future derived classes. Then doors wouldn't
rotate properly. DD was never designed to rotate dimensional doors. I
added code to BlockRotator for that and shifted some code from
DungeonHelper to BlockRotator. More coherence, less coupling!
Improved DungeonSchematic to the point that it can replace
SchematicLoader as our method of loading dungeons. Some of the code was
copied over rather than refactored to save time. It's been subdivided so
make it much more readable. Also, we can reimplement portions of it as
WorldOperations later on further remove redudancy. Testing shows that
there is one problem left to fix: door blocks are not being set up
correctly at the moment. Rifts are being set up properly and attaching
doors to rifts will show that dungeons continue to generate fine.
Added classes to support DungeonSchematic and its additional filtering
logic on import and export. SpecialBlockFinder handles listing the
entrance, other doors in the dungeon, and end portal frames.
FillContainersOperation is a WorldOperation that fills chests and
dispensers. BlockRotator is a temporary class to hold
transformMetadata() and transformPoint() until we rewrite that code
later.
Stripped out most of the code from SchematicLoader to ensure it's no
longer used. The only remaining function sets up dungeon pockets. We can
phase it out in a later version so as not to delay our release. Removed
references to SchematicLoader in mod_pocketDim since it no longer needs
to be instantiated.
Created DungeonSchematic, a class that extends Schematic and adds
DD-specific functionality such as methods for filtering the schematic's
block before importing and exporting. Testing confirms that
DungeonSchematic works well so far, although it still lacks critical
features.
Made some minor changes to Schematic and copied
SchematicLoader.setBlockDirectly(). I realized during testing that
setting blocks without using that function could cause problems. First,
it's possible that the blocks would not be placed if chunks weren't
created. Second, there are issues with blocks updating if we use World
to set them, even if block updates are disabled. That causes some
torches to break and other weird problems.
Added classes to support block filtering operations applied to
Schematic. These are used to implement ID standardization and removing
mod blocks when importing.
Fixed bugs and made minor changes to Schematic. I've tested that it
works properly now. It still needs to perform additional DD-specific
functions and must be integrated to dungeon importing.
Improved the Schematic class. Added support for reading schematic files.
That functionality still needs to be integrated and tested. Made minor
changes to WorldOperation and its derived classes. Also fixed a few bugs
in Schematic's export functions that were found during testing. The
exporting code still doesn't do all the changes (e.g. block
standardization) that had been implemented before.
Separated part of the dungeon-exporting logic into a new class:
Schematic. Also created a few classes to implement important operations.
Some parts of the original exporting logic are missing now, such as
mapping certain blocks to standard IDs. That will be reimplemented in
the future. Importing schematics is not supported yet. I need to test
what's done 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.
Minor change. Renamed all the functions in LimboDecay to begin with
lowercase letters, as is the usual style for Java development. It
slipped my mind for some reason. Uppercase starting letters is the usual
style for C# development.
Removed the code in DungeonHelper and CommandEndDungeonCreation that
would force the player to use "override" with when exporting dungeons
that DD did not recognized as having been built in custom dungeon
pockets. This restriction is no longer necessary now that we don't need
pockets with standardized orientations or Eternal Fabric boundaries.
Added support for the doMobSpawning game rule. Jaitsu requested this so
that he could disable Monoliths while testing the mod. I think it's a
fair idea - you can't disable Monoliths without also disabling every
other mob except the animals.
Added an interval to CommonTickHandler so that fast decay operations are
performed less frequency. The previous rate was unnecessarily fast. This
will also reduce the performance impact of fast decay considerably,
although testers did not report any noticeable performance decreases.
Reimplemented Limbo Decay in two forms. Firstly, Unraveled Fabric
accepts random ticks now and has a 50% chance of searching the 6 blocks
against its faces for blocks to decay. The average time for this decay
to occur is about 2 minutes and 17 seconds. The decay progresses a
little slowly because of having to go through stages. We might want to
consider decaying straight into Unraveled Fabric, or at least having
fewer stages. This approach is better than randomly decaying isolated
blocks because it looks like decay is spreading from the Unraveled
Fabric.
Secondly, every tick, we pick a random block from each active section in
Limbo and turn it into Unraveled Fabric immediately. Note that a section
is a 16x16x16 block cube inside a chunk. This is "fast decay", and it's
meant to stop players from avoiding Limbo decay by building floating
structures. It's not immediately obvious if you place a single block,
but if you build a 5x5 block platform, the average time for some block
to get converted drops to about 8 seconds, and it spreads from there.
Most of the logic for this is in a new class: LimboDecay. It's worth
studying whether this new implementation affects Minecraft's
performance. I'm not completely sure whether that would be an issue. The
frequency of either decay type can be decreased to improve performance.
Removed the code associated with Limbo decay from EventHookContainer,
LimboBlock, and CommonTickHandler. DimHelper still has blocksToDecay
since removing it could cause deserialization failures. However, nothing
should actually use that list. I also removed several unused or
redundant methods (e.g. overriding methods and putting in exactly the
same code as in the super class), fixed indentation and renamed cryptic
variables. We should have a rule against allowing cryptic variable names
like "par2", even if they're inherited from Forge. I'll implement proper
limbo decay in the next commit.
Fixed a bug in DungeonHelper that could cause dungeons to get clipped
during export if they extend past Y = 127. We used
world.getActualHeight() to obtain the height of the pocket, which should
be 256, but getActualHeight() returns 128 for dimensions with no sky.
Pocket dimensions are set to have no sky, so this becomes an issue.
I believe I've fixed the cause of a NullPointerException that some
players have been experiencing. It seems to have been caused by
unregistered block IDs being present in Limbo. Possibly because people
removed mods and they had generated structures in Limbo. Or the players
had placed blocks and then removed the mods, or changed block IDs
around.
This fixes issue #47.
Added code for SchematicLoader so that hoppers will rotate properly.
This was probably not considered an issue before we had support for tile
entity exports and imports. Now it's critical that we support hoppers.
There are other blocks that are still not supported - we should really
fix this in the future so that all blocks will rotate. The code for this
is overly complicated - we should look into a simpler method.
Fixed Ancient Fabric and Eternal Fabric being vulnerable to explosions.
I also noticed that a lot of DD blocks have unusual stats. I'm not sure
whether those stats were assigned intentionally or simply because of
copying and pasting code, but the values are certainly counterintuitive
when you consider some of the block materials.
Fixed a bug in BlockDimWall that would allow players to replace Ancient
Fabric by right clicking on it with a block in-hand, in the same way as
Fabric of Reality can be replaced. That would've defeated their purpose.
Fixed the bug in BlockDimWall that would cause Fabric of Reality to
replace itself when you right-clicked to place FoR against an FoR
surface. This happened because we considered FoR valid for replacing FoR
since it's a cube solid. Now we have an extra check to prevent that. It
was a waste of blocks to have them sort of eat each other up! Also
cleaned up some of the code in BlockDimWall.
I modified the way SchematicLoader handles blocks with metadata.
Previously, we would always copy metadata over without additional
checks. If we converted a mod block into Fabric of Reality, metadata
would have no effect because FoR did not have subtypes. Now that FoR has
subtypes, loading metadata blindly could cause unexpected effects, such
as generating Ancient Fabric instead of FoR. I changed the code so that
we only count a block as "changed" if we change its block ID and we
don't want to preserve the original metadata. In that case, the metadata
is set to 0.
Changed transformMetadata() from a public instance function to a private
static function. I was curious as to whether it was being used by code
outside SchematicLoader. The code compiles so it must be local-only. In
the future, when we switch from using this function to the rotation
class, the compiler will warn us that this function is no longer being
used. Then we'll remember to remove it.
Renamed block 1973:1 to Ancient Fabric. Renamed block 220 to Eternal
Fabric. I assigned new names so that we didn't need to use the long ones
we had before (e.g. "Fabric of Reality Permanent/Pushable"). Also
removed unused imports from various classes along the way.
Removed unused import from DDProperties. Changed argument lists of
CommandDeleteRifts, CommandDeleteAllLinks, and
CommandDeleteDimensionData to read "???" since we want to get this
update out and those commands are used infrequently. We'll fix them to
have proper information for the next update.
Made some minor changes such as removing unused imports and fixing up
code to remove warnings. Stop calling static methods as if they were
instance methods!!! @_@
Removed a comment from SchematicLoader.transformPoint() that is no
longer relevant. It refers to counterclockwise rotations even though our
rotations are commented as clockwise now.
Rewrote the code that changes the position of a tile entity to be
expressed in the schematic coordinate system. The new code should be
equivalent but easier to understand.
Added support for exporting tile entities as part of custom dungeons.
I've produced a schematic as a test that shows items are exported
properly and they're recognized in MCedit. I still need to add support
for loading tile entities in imported schematics.
Changed DungeonHelper.exportDungeon() to use Minecraft's NBT tag classes
instead of using JNBT. The implementation is actually slightly simpler
than our original JNBT version. I also fixed a bug in the way the
extremes of the bounding box search were calculated that caused yEnd to
have an incorrect value. Exporting works properly now. Confirmed with
tests.
Fixed the selection of boundaries for custom dungeons. The code had a
bug that would clip off a portion of dungeons during exporting. Also,
permafabric is not used to mark the edges of the dungeon anymore. That
means dungeons can contain permafabric now without getting cut off, and
the permafabric shells will be included as part of the export.
Changed SchematicLoader so that schematics that have entrances that are
not facing North will still be rotated properly. This involves a
workaround for transformMetadata() since it assumes schematics are
always saved "facing" North.
I've tested this and it's working perfectly, with one exception. If you
create a rift with dd-rift to a dungeon that wasn't saved pointing
North, the rifts sometimes appear beside the player, instead of in the
block where the player's head is. Sometimes you'll appear in the dungeon
facing the right way. Other times, you'll appear inside a wall adjacent
to the entrance or near the entrance facing the wrong way. I have not
managed to narrow down why this happens.
Rotations in SchematicLoader are understandable now. I changed all the
code to use transformPoint() and made sure that the rotations in there
are correct. Testing shows that rooms are being generated correctly. I
also edited portions of the code for clarity and removed some debug
prints. The loading process now allows permafabric to generate - it was
previously converted into regular fabric of reality. For the moment,
the code is stuck to assume that the entry direction is North. I'll
remove that constraint in the next commit.
It turns out my earlier commits didn't completely fix things because
certain implementation details were missing. I had assumed they were
done. Also, some of the information I had regarding the default
schematic orientation was wrong. This commit remedies most of those
problems with a robust rotation implementation. However, I haven't added
the code for linking Warp Doors yet, and there is a bug with tile
entities getting reversed in East/West oriented rooms. Not sure why
that's happening.
It turns out that rotation hadn't been implemented in the code I moved
during my last commit. I've changed things slightly to implement
rotation. I also renamed some coordinate variables to prevent confusion.
Fixed reference to CommandRegenPocket - should be CommandResetDungeons.
Autofixed indentation in SchematicLoader. I wanted to commit that change
before doing any more code changes but I forgot. Then I fixed the code
that calculates the coordinate offsets so our dungeons rotate right. It
was pretty simple - all I had to do was move the xCooe and zCooe
calculations into the loops so they're recalculated to account for
rotation. I rearranged the loops for optimal performance.
Temporarily patched up CommandDeleteAllLinks,
CommandDeleteDimensionData, and CommandDeleteRifts so they'll compile.
I'll be fixing some things for Steven and I'll come back to those
classes to finish overhauling them.
Improved CommandPruneDimensions. Cleaned up the code and improved
performance by using a HashSet instead of an ArrayList to list dimension
reachability. Added an optional argument that sets whether we should
delete the folders of pruned dimensions.
Renamed CommandRegenPocket to CommandResetDungeons. Changed command name
accordingly. Added a message for the user listing the number of dungeons
that were reset. Modified DimHelper slightly to add support for this.
Added error condition if user specifies arguments for the command.
Made progress on overhauling and prettifying our commands. There are
still more changes to be done for this to be functional. I need to do an
intermediate commit because I want to merge in recent changes by Steven.
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.
1. Added converting dungeon type names to lowercase before adding them
to dungeonTypeMapping (a HashMap that associates dungeon type strings
with their lists). Keeping the original casing was causing a
NullPointerException when the HashMap returned null and we expected to
receive a non-null list.
2. Added code to strip out the file extension of a schematic in
validateSchematicName(). The extension was getting dragged along with
the dungeon's weight, which would cause parsing to fail and the name was
considered invalid. This means that none of the custom dungeons were
being registered for generation since the system saw them as badly
tagged. They also wouldn't generate Monoliths even if tagged as closed
because we would ignore the tags.
3. Changed a comparison for the "open" tag to be case insensitive.
4. Minor changes
Fixed the bug that caused "How_to_add_dungeons.txt" to be copied as an
empty file. The reason was very subtle. Also moved the file to a
different directory.
