Main things of interest:
* IAnimationStateMachine - state machine for animations; can load
from json.
* AnimationTESR - automatic TESR for animated models.
* AnimationModelBase - same for entities.
* ITimeValue - time-varying value, used to control animation
parameters from code.
* TESRs can now be batched - look at TESR.renderTileEntityFast +
TE.hasFastRenderer.
* RegionRenderCache is not accessible to TESRs and other client-side
logic - MinecraftForgeClient.getRegionRenderCache.
When combined with @Optional this should address all issues of soft dependancy on mods/apis.
This also addresses the issue of dynamic functionality in TileEntities/Entities.
Current capability providers: TileEntity, Entity, ItemStack
Also added INBTSerializeable, a generic interface for game objects that can be written to/from NBT tags.
Vanilla capabilities will be coming soon, mostly on request and review.
So start requesting capabiliteis on vanilla/Forge features.
And helper functions in GameRegistry to allow for registering using those names automatically.
This is to simplify registration and get rid of the horrible hacks users are doing now with 'unlocalised names'.
This happens when no other mod that uses the bucket model is present.
Also added a simple method for registering the bucket model, should give
modders an idea on how to use the general model.
Changes to the Model API - IModelState now works with Optional. Handling of parts of the model is not optional, and coordinate space/result interpretation is up to the caller. IModel doesn't extend IModelPart by default anymore; MapModelState uses composition to achieve previous functionality, IModelPart implementations are disjoint now. Updated perspective handing to the new API, removed IPerspectiveState (MapModelState is now the same thing). Perspective transforms for the default fluid model.
- fixed keyframe transformation application
- textures are now resolved the same way as in vanilla models
- added the ability to use forge blockstate texture information
- removed unused code from the B3D example
Entry point: ModelLoaderRegistry
loader interface: ICustomModelLoader
custom model: IModel
ModelLoader is responsible for splicing into vanilla model system.
(you probably don't need to use it directly)
Interop with vanilla models isn't great yet
(vanilla models can't refer to custom ones as parents), will improve in
the future.
Includes loader for B3D models, with animation support
(net.minecraftforge.client.model.b3d).
Blender export plugin with compatible coordinate system:
https://github.com/RainWarrior/B3DExport
OBJ loader is being written, will be included at some point in the
future. For now you can convert OBJ to B3D via blender, or wait.
Some notes:
Almost all int x, int y, int z parameters have been changed to BlockPos class
ForgeDirection has been removed, replaced by net.minecraft.util.EnumFacing.
All FML classes have moved from packet cpw.mods.fml to net.minecraftforge.fml
Fluid Rendering has been disabled for the time being, to be re-evaulated and a test mod created for it.
Minecraft now uses a Model based system for rendering blocks and Items. The intention is to expand the model format to better suit modder's needed once it is evaulated.
As such, The model loaders from Forge have been removed, to be replaced by expanding vanilla's model format.
Metadata has been extracted out in Minecraft to IBlockState, which holds a list of properties instead of magic number metadata. DO NOT listen to the fearmongering, you can do EVERYTHING with block states you could previously with metadata.
Stencil Bits are disabled entirely by for the main Display, Modders must enable and recreate the FrameBuffer if they wish to use Stencil Bits.
