Implement Book & Quill:
- IUIScene_WritingBookMenu and UIScene_BookAndQuillMenu for UI
- Edited UIControl_Label to add direct editing (quite hardcoded to my needs right now)
- Reimplement scrapped custom payload packets for books and signing
- Other misc changes
TODO:
- Coloured and scambled text
- Book copying
- Clean up code
* Working New portal checks
fixed x axis portal with obsidian on z axis
* Removed Debug code
* Remove unnecessary code
removed PortalTile:: from PortalTile::validPortalFrame
* Remove more debug code
The previous IQNet cleanup in handleRemoveEntity fired on every entity
despawn, which happens both when a player goes out of tracking range
and when they disconnect. This caused players to vanish from the Tab
list whenever they moved beyond render distance.
Introduce two custom payload channels (MC|ForkHello, MC|ForkPLeave) so
the client can distinguish "out of range" from "actually left":
- Server sends MC|ForkHello during login to identify itself as a fork
- Server sends MC|ForkPLeave with the player's gamertag on disconnect
- Client skips IQNet cleanup in handleRemoveEntity on fork servers
- Client cleans up IQNet only when MC|ForkPLeave arrives
Fully backwards-compatible: no existing packet wire formats changed.
Upstream clients ignore the unknown channels, fork clients on upstream
servers fall back to the old entity-tracking-based cleanup.
Rewire the SWF focus chain via Iggy so VSync, Fullscreen, and Render
Distance are reachable with keyboard/gamepad navigation.
Cap render distance slider at 16 chunks. Shift graphics menu layout
up 60px for better centering.
Fix skin preview walk/attack animations running too fast with VSync
off by scaling per-frame increments by delta time relative to 60fps.
The walking and attack animations in the Change Skin menu were
frame-rate-dependent, advancing per render call with no delta time
scaling. With uncapped FPS they ran proportionally too fast.
Add time-based scaling relative to a 60fps baseline. The scale is
computed once per frame (cached for 0.5ms) so multiple skin previews
rendered in the same frame all animate at the correct speed.
StorageManager.SaveSaveData() blocks until the disk write completes.
Calling it from the game thread caused 2.5s freezes. Now it only runs
from TickCoreSystems() on the ServerMain thread, which operates
independently of the game tick loop.
Move StorageManager.AllocateSaveData() back under the save lock (called
on the game thread before releasing). Background thread now only does
pure zlib compression with no StorageManager calls.
Add CommitPendingAsyncSave() to both the game thread tick and
TickCoreSystems() to ensure saves commit during bootstrap, normal
gameplay, and shutdown.
Autosave previously froze the main thread for 2-6 seconds while
compressing the entire save file with zlib. Now the save buffer is
snapshotted under the lock (~18ms), then compression runs on a
background thread. The compressed data is committed to StorageManager
on the next main-thread tick via CommitPendingAsyncSave().
Also skip redundant full chunk saves during autosave on the dedicated
server -- chunks are already persisted by the per-tick trickle save.
Only entity data is flushed, matching Xbox/Orbis behavior.
Added per-step timing to the autosave handler for diagnostics.
