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.
