== Tweaks == | == Tweaks == | ||
===Tweak: Game controls fine tuning=== | |||
*In the Settings menu, the Mouse settings and Keyboard controls are now split across two tabs | |||
*New controls option: Ctrl-click and Shift-click mouse modifiers can now be separate from the Sprint and Sneak keys (so you can re-assign Sprint to something other than the Ctrl key, but still use a Ctrl-click mouse action) | |||
*Keyboard controls are now more logically grouped in the Settings menu | |||
*When the Handbook refers to keyboard controls, it shows the current assigned key | |||
*Block interaction help now shows mouse modifiers (by default, Ctrl- and Shift-) before the mouse button | |||
*Translation: added missing lang strings for some controls e.g. Show Handbook, Show/Hide Minimap | |||
*Bulk add material to the Bloomery is now Ctrl + right-click, for consistency with other bulk adds | |||
===Tweak: Gameplay balance tuning=== | |||
*Added a small respawn timer: the death dialog now appears with a 1.5 seconds delay | |||
*Double the drop rate of crystallized ores. They were waaaay too rare IMO | |||
*Hares can no longer jump over fences in snowy conditions; reduced hare spawn max light level from 8 to 6 to further mitigate them spawning in farmlands | |||
*Boosted breadfruit satiety 120 -> 200 | |||
*Empty firepits now have a 4x burn time bonus instead of 3x | |||

*Higher tier metal axes fell trees slightly faster than previously | |||
*Purpleheart requires at least a copper/scrap axe to fell; ebony requires at least a bronze axe | |||
*Crop growth times are now calculated in months instead of days, so setting shorter months means quicker growth times. The default growth times remain unchanged | |||
*Reduced respawn speed of wolves, slightly reduced spawn rate of butterflies | |||
*Hares now eat sunflower and cassava crops in their early stages | |||

*Fixed: (since 1.14) leaves ground-offset windshear being disabled for leaves against solid blocks was not working correctly on north side | |||
*Fixed: Unknown texture when putting solder ingots on forges | |||
*Fixed: Wrong glow vfx for items held in third person mode | |||
*Fixed: In single-player, occasional flash of X-ray vision when breaking blocks underground at any chunk edge | |||
*Fixed: Should fix stability issues when using the game updater, due to leftover files that should no longer be there | |||

**Fixed: lang strings for some item info such as clothing and armor properties | |||
**Added lang strings for some colors | |||
==API Changes== | |||
*Tweak: All code obfuscation now been completely dropped from the game engine | |||
*Feature: Greatly improved frame profiler and slow tick logging. | |||
**Instead of a flat list, frame costs are now displayed hierarchically and also show the call count. Allows for a much more fine grained analysis of costly operations / laggy sections of code. | |||
**Added new FrameProfiler.Enter() and .Leave() methods for hierarchical tick logging | |||
*Feature: New "OnAnimationEnd" Mode EaseOut. Greatly helps with jerky animation endings | |||
*Feature: Shape.TryGet(api, fileLocation) method simplifies code for loading shapes and adds consistent error checking | |||
*Feature: still and flowing water blocks, and lake ice blocks, are now accessed separately from regular blocks, as there can be both water and a regular (non-solid) block in the same BlockPos position | |||
**Use IBlockAccessor.GetLiquidBlock(), IBlockAccessor.SetLiquidBlock(), IBlockAccessor.SearchLiquidBlocks() for reading and writing water and lake ice | |||
**There are also IWorldChunk.GetLiquid() and .SetLiquid() methods, but mods should generally use the IBlockAccessor methods | |||
**IBlockAccessor.GetSolidBlock() will return the regular block at the position UNLESS there is lake ice present in which case it will return the lake ice (used e.g. for motion physics and collision detection) | |||
**IBlockAccessor.IsSideSolid() behaves similarly: tests the regular block at the position for solidity, or will return true if lake ice is present | |||
**to generalise, mods can add their own blocks (liquids, gasses or perhaps ice) to the new system allowing regular blocks to be submerged/enclosed/embedded in such blocks: this is done simply by overriding property Block.ForLiquidsLayer in the code for the liquid/gas/ice block | |||
**For existing 1.16 blocks which are found in water or in ice (e.g. in vanilla, Coopers Reeds or Papyrus, which have -water- and -ice- variants, or Seaweed) you can update to the new system as follows: (a) remove the rendering of water and ice and any special water and ice properties from your block, the in-water variant should now be the same as the on-land variant; (b) for the in-water or in-ice variants only, for successful updating from 1.16 to 1.17, override property Block.RemapToLiquidsLayer to provide the water/ice code matching your block, e.g. Reeds in water set that property to "water-still-7" | |||
**BlockUpdate and Schematic now have water data in them in addition to block data | |||
**Mods needing to test for the presence of water or lake ice should change their code to use the IBlockAccessor.GetLiquidBlock() call | |||
**Mods needing to test whether a neighbour side is solid should use IBlockAccessor.IsSideSolid() to detect all cases accurately, including e.g. stones embedded in lake ice | |||
**To minimise the breaking of existing 1.16 mods, IBlockAccessor.GetBlock() will still return the water/lakeice block at a position if there is no block submerged/embedded in it - but if there is a block submerged in water (or embedded in lakeice) then .GetBlock() will return the submerged block, so that mods which do not update their code to use a .GetLiquidBlock() call will not see that there is water in the position, if a block happens to be submerged there | |||
**To minimise the breaking of existing 1.16 mods, IBlockAccessor.SetBlock() used with a water/lakeice block (or any block for which Block.ForLiquidsLayer is true) will automatically write that block to the liquids layer, and will delete any existing regular block at the position (i.e. the same behavior as in 1.16 code). To add water/lakeice to a block position without deleting the regular block (i.e. allowing the existing block at the position to become submerged in water or embedded in ice) use IBlockAccessor.SetLiquidBlock() | |||
**Placing a fully solid block in any position will remove the water/lakeice at that position | |||
*Feature: Missing lang file keys are logged in client-debug.txt (and sometimes in server-debug.txt but that is rare) | |||
*Feature: Added <hk> or <hotkey> VTML tag. In handbook entries, can use e.g. <hk>sprint</hk> to display the actual current mapping of the sprint key | |||
*Feature: for any keyboard controls (hotkeys) your mod adds, use new EnumHotkeyTypes: HelpAndOverlays, MouseModifiers, MovementControls and InventoryHotkeys for better grouping in the keyboard controls settings dialog | |||
*Feature: Configurable inventory slot count for entity harvesting | |||
*Feature: IServerWorldAccessor.IsFullyLoadedChunk(), true if all neighbor chunks are also loaded. BlockEntities or entities can use this during tick updates for better performance, e.g. to make sure that searching neighbor chunks for blocks will not cause lag-spikes due to loading unloaded chunks. See BEBerryBush and BEFarmland for example | |||
*Feature: Added api.XXXAtlas.GetOrInsertTexture() to replace InsertTextureCached() which is now obsolete, as it is very inefficient | |||
*Refactor: Collectible.GetDurability() is now renamed to Collectible.GetMaxDurability(). Added Collectible.GetRemainingDurability() | |||
*Refactor: QueueOfInt and FastSetOfLongs moved to Vintagestory.API.Datastructures | |||
*Tweak: ModMaker should place patches into a separate mod domain (will now also prompt for the mod domain) | |||
*Tweak: PlayerControl.CtrlKey and PlayerControl.ShiftKey, use these for block and entity interactions which depend on Ctrl+mouseclick or Shift+mouseclick, in place of checking for Sprint and Sneak keys (though by default Sprint is bound to Ctrl, and Sneak is bound to Shift, a player might change that) | |||
*Tweak: Significantly re-order and properly ensure order of asset registration etc during server startup, for details of correct use, see updated descriptions in the XML help for ModSystem methods .ExecuteOrder(), .StartPre(), .Start(), .AssetsLoaded(), .StartClientSide() and .StartServerSide() | |||
** ModSystem .Start() method may be called at a different time from previously, specifically it will now be called even before assets (including blocktypes, lang file, etc.) have been loaded; any of your code in Start() which requires assets to be loaded may need to be moved to the AssetsLoaded() method | |||
**Additional optional initialisation call ModSystem.AssetsLoaded() called after the Start() method and after assets are loaded, but before StartClientSide/StartServerSide. This is called on both server and client, see VSSurvivalMod Core.cs for an example. Typically used to initialise block or item fields | |||
**New server event AssetsFinalizers, can be used in code to modify/finalize behaviors or properties for any block or item in the game (your mod's assets or another mod's assets) after all loading from JSONs is complete. Use this in 1.17+ instead of making changes to assets in a mod's StartServerSide() method - doing it in the StartServerSide() method will likely be too late. E.g. in vanilla, the BlockReinforcement system adds a Reinforcement behavior to every appropriate block in this event | |||
*Tweak: Added callback method Collectible.ConsumeCraftingIngredients() | |||
*Tweak: Added ability to disable entity behaviors and AI tasks by adding a `enabled: false` line (can also do this byType) | |||
*Tweak: Added "ShowInCreatedBy" property for recipes to hide them from the handbook (such as repair recipes) | |||
*Tweak: IBlockAccessor.WalkBlocks() Action now offers int x,y,z coordinates instead of a BlockPos | |||
*Tweak: Cuboidd new method SetAndTranslate() allows both operations to be combined in a single method call | |||
*Tweak: Vec3d can now be Set() to an EntityPos | |||
*Tweak: BlockPos new method SetAndEquals() returns a boolean indicating whether the BlockPos already held the values set | |||
*Tweak: Can now define separate player animations to be run in immersive first person mode (by prefixing them with "ifp-"). | |||
*Tweak: Chisel tool modes are now a bit more moddable | |||
*Tweak: Block.SideSolid is now a custom class, SmallBoolArray | |||
*Tweak: ShapeElement.Faces is now deprecated: use .FacesResolved instead if you need to access a ShapeElementFace | |||
*Tweak: Block.Textures and .TexturesInventory are now IDictionary<> not Dictionary<> (but in most cases existing code should not need to be changed) | |||
*Tweak: EntityClientProperties.Textures is now IDictionary<> not Dictionary<> (but in most cases existing code should not need to be changed) | |||
*Tweak: Block.SideSolid is now a SmallBoolArray struct, not a bool[] (but in most cases existing code should not need to be changed, e.g. Block.SideSolid[0] will still test the North face) | |||
*Tweak: Can now define particle Bounciness as a float value (before it was a boolean) | |||
*Tweak: "Weak shiny" mode. If the shiny bit is set and any wind data is set, the shinyness effect is reduced | |||
*Tweak: New basic flower shapes flower-48x48 and flower-32x64, drawn with correct pixel density, see the creative-only Dandelion and Acanthus flowers as examples (modders can test new flower textures in-game by replacing the dandelion and acanthus textures) | |||
*Tweak: two new DrawTypes which appropriate blocks can use for instanced rendering, for higher FPS: InstancedCross (used by tallgrass, flower-horsetail, and flower-edelweiss) and InstancedFlower (used by catmint, cow parsley, poppy, redtop grass, wild daisy and woad). Where InstancedFlower is used, petal and stem textures should be combined into one double-width .png file, see the texture files for those flowers for examples | |||
*Tweak: The Modmaker will now work on pre-releases of the game | |||
*Tweak: Rewrite head yaw/pitch handling, now part of EntityPos and synced. | |||
*Fixed: Cuboidf.RotatedCopy() not rotating hitboxes correctly | |||
*Fixed: Positioning issues in VTML/richtext | |||
*Fixed: Compatibility util did not work on first world load | |||
