[MC1.12+][Fork] CC: Tweaked

• Replace LuaJ with Cobalt.
• Allow running multiple computers at the same time.
• Websocket support in the HTTP library.
• Wired modems and cables act more like multiparts.
• Adds the /computercraft command, offering various diagnostic tools for server owners. This allows operators to track which computers are hogging resources, turn on and shutdown multiple computers at once and interact with computers remotely.
• Add full-block wired modems, allowing one to wrap non-solid peripherals (such as chests).
• [1.80pr1] Add binary mode to HTTP.
• [1.80pr1] Dyable pocket computers and turtles.
• [1.80pr1] Allow computer and monitors to configure their palette. Also allow normal computer/monitors to use any colour, converting it to greyscale.
• [1.80pr1] Add require to the shell environment.

It's not actually a fork of the main repository on github, probably because github doesn't allow you to merge PRs that way?

Played around for a bit this afternoon and couldn't find any broken functionality other than in mon.getTextScale(), which always returns 1… which I assume is a problem within the implementation here?

SquidDev, on 19 November 2017 - 01:59 PM said:

I've noticed some issues with computers not appearing to be on when they definitely are, so it'd be much appreciated if you could keep an eye out to confirm/deny that. I'm not entirely sure if this is a 1.12 issue or something which broke in one of my PRs.

Bomb Bloke, on 19 November 2017 - 02:23 PM said:

It appears the frontal texture isn't updated until term.setCursorBlink() is called (so a startup script with "while true do os.pullEvent() end" should be enough to reproduce it, assuming you're cold-booting your systems).

• Fix term.getTextScale() not working across multiple monitors.
• Fix computer state not being synced to client when turning on/off.
• Provide an API for registering custom APIs.
• Render turtles called "Dinnerbone" or "Grumm" upside-down.
• Fix getCollisionBoundingBox not using all AABBs.
• Experimental: Add map-like rendering for pocket computers.

Any documentation on how the websocket addition to HTTP works?

• Add /computercraft command, providing various diagnostic tools.
• Make http.websocket synchronous and add http.websocketAsync.
• Restore binary compatibility for ILuaAPI. This fixes crashes under 1.80pr1.2 with Plethora.

• Verify the action can be completed in copy, rename and mkdir commands.
• Add /rom/modules so the package path.
• Add read to normal file handles - allowing reading a given number of characters.
• Various minor bug fixes.

• Ensure ComputerCraft peripherals are thread-safe. This fixes multiple Lua errors and crashes with modems monitors.
• Add /computercraft track command, for monitoring how long computers execute for.
• Add ore dictionary support for recipes.
• Track which player owns a turtle. This allows turtles to play nicely with various claim/grief prevention systems.
• Add config option to disable various turtle actions.
• Add an API for extending wired networks.
• Add full-block wired modems.
• Several minor bug fixes.

• Several additional fixes to monitors, solving several crashes and graphical glitches.
• Add recipes to upgrade computers, turtles and pocket computers.

And if so, are all mods that are made for the nightly builds of ComputerCraft 1.80pr also compatible with this?

• Allow network cables to work with compact machines. They do not currently visually connect, but are still usable.
• A large number of improvements to the /computercraft command, including:
• Ensure the tables are correctly aligned
• Remove the output of the previous invocation of that command when posting to chat.
• /computercraft track is now per-user, instead of global.
• We now track additional fields, such as the number of peripheral calls, http requests, etc… You can specify these as an optional argument to /computercraft track dump to see them.
• wget automatically determines the filename (Luca0208)
• Allow using alternative HTTP request methods (DELETE, PUT, etc…)
• Enable Gzip compression for websockets.
• Fix monitors not rendering when optifine shaders are enabled. There are still issues (they are tinted orange during the night), but it is an improvement.

• Fix .isDiskPresent() always returning true.
• Fix peripherals showing up on wired networks when they shouldn't be.
• Fix turtle.place() crashing the server in some esoteric conditions.
• Remove upper bound on the number of characters than can be read with .read(n: number).
• Fix various typos in keys.lua (hugeblank)

Why not just rate limit things?

Oh er not sure I like the sound of that. Are we talking number of resumes per tick, or number of calls per yield, or…?

• Improve formatting of /computercraft when run by a non-player.
• Fix pocket computer terminals not updating when being held.
• Fix a couple of minor blemishes in the GUI textures.
• Fix sign text not always being set when placed.
• Cache turtle fakeplayer, hopefully proving some minor performance improvements.

The latest update you pushed out, is it compatible with 1.13? Or is that still to come?

• Add German translation (Vexatos)
• Add .getCursorBlink to monitors and terminals.
• Allow sending binary messages with websockets.
• Extend fs and io APIs
• io should now be largely compatible with PUC Lua's implementation (:read("n") is not currently supported).
• Binary readable file handles now support .readLine
• Binary file handles now support .seek([whence: string[, position:number]]), taking the same arguments as PUC Lua's method. You can find out more on the CC:T wiki.

• Fix repeat program crashing when malformed rednet packets are received (gollark/osmarks)
• Reduce risk of deadlock when calling peripheral methods.
• Fix speakers being unable to play modded sounds.

SquidDev, on 24 October 2018 - 01:19 PM said:

The biggest change in this release is that I've rewritten how file handles are implemented, meaning they're now backed by ByteChannels instead of streams. This may seem largely cosmetic, but means we can now add seeking to binary files!

SquidDev, on 24 October 2018 - 08:03 PM said:

Just updated the CC:T version of CCEmuX to 1.80pr9 (just launch it and restart to update), which allows me to do a nice side-by-side comparison of the old and new io library:

IndustrialLemon, on 10 November 2018 - 01:40 AM said:

Are there any plans to add some or all of the features prevalent in the computeacube fork? I really enjoy the regex api and the fact that pocket computers act like maps.

  shell.run("gps host "..x, y, z)
end
t"..x, y, z)
end
end

t"..x, y, z)
en
end
x, y, z

end

IndustrialLemon, on 10 November 2018 - 02:16 AM said:

EDIT: Also I'm sure there's a better place to report bugs but while I've got you. I just experienced a bug that was so hard to describe. I have a GPS system that runs off of a disk/startup dir and every time I would edit the disk/startup.lua file and save it would save the file with clips of the programming strewn about at the bottom.

• Rename all tile entities to have the correct computercraft: prefix. Existing tile entities should be mapped via a data fixer, but please tell me if you encounter issues.
• Fix files not being truncated when opened for a write.
• .read* methods no longer fail on malformed unicode. Malformed input is replaced with a fake character (this is what CC did before).
• Fix numerous issues caused when wireless modems were attached to wireless networks.

Bomb Bloke, on 25 November 2018 - 02:16 AM said:

That's a lot more threads than I was expecting to see. About how many computers is SwitchCraft running on average?

Bomb Bloke, on 25 November 2018 - 10:51 PM said:

But I suspect that in most cases, if a computer/turtle hasn't received an event in ~five minutes (half an hour? an hour?), it really doesn't need to be running at all.

• There are a reasonable number of computers which don't do anything, but need to respond to events when they get them. For instance, SC has a lot of shops, which need to respond to monitor touches.
• CC:T has a command to shutdown all (or some) servers on a computer. We've used this in the past when the server is utterly choking, but you find the number of "on" computers is pretty much at the normal level within a few hours.
• I'd argue that punishing computers not doing anything is a little counter-productive. Obviously every computer is a bit of a memory (and thread) drain, but computers doing more work than required is definitely more of an issue than computers just sitting doing nothing at all.

• Using longs inside .seek rather than 32 bit integers. This allows you to seek in very large files.
• Move the /computer command into the main /computercraft command
• Allow copying peripheral names from a wired modem's attach/detach chat message.

• Fix InventoryUtil ignoring the stack limit when extracting items
• Fix computers not receiving redstone inputs sent through another block.
• Fix JEI responding to key-presses when within a computer or turtle's inventory.

• Support http to https redirects: While the http API has always handled redirects on the same protocol, it wouldn't allow redirecting between protocols. This means websites which automatically upgrade you to https will function as expected.
• Allow using the PATCH request method: We've allowed using most other methods for a while now (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc…), but not PATCH. This meant you had to use custom headers to interact with some REST APIs.
• Less thread usage: Previously, every HTTP request would be run on a separate thread, which was a little inefficient. The asynchronous nature of netty means that ComputerCraft should rarely go above 8 threads, how ever many concurrent HTTP requests you are making.

• The config file has had a bit of a spring cleaning: Related properties should be grouped into child categories (http, turtle, peripheral), which makes the whole file a little easier to navigate. This should be automatically upgraded when you load the mod, but let me know if you experience issues.
• I've also begun work on implementing the long-discussed HTTP limits, as described in this issue. I've tested them a fair bit, but again if you experience issues (or regressions with the netty changes), do report them so they can be fixed ASAP!
• There's also been an awful lot of cleanup going on throughout the main CC codebase. This issue documents it a little more, but we're pretty much just replacing our home-grown implementations with ones built into vanilla or Forge. It means we can delete an awful lot of code (always a plus), and hopefully make things more consistent too.

• Allow seeking within ROM files. I've wanted this since the initial implementation, but there were some unexpected problems. I've finally got round to implementing this (though it possibly is of dubious use).
• Make several tile entities (modems, cables, and monitors) non-ticking, substantially reducing their overhead, On SwitchCraft this reduced tick time by about 10ms, though this is probably more than most people will see due to the Sponge overhead and the rather large number of monitors and cables.
That said, it's still a pretty large change, so let me know if you experience issues related to any of the peripheral blocks.

• Fix cables not rendering the breaking steps
• Try to prevent /computercraft_copy showing up in auto-complete.
• Fix several memory leaks and other issues with ROM mounts.
• Fix not being able to craft upgraded turtles or pocket computers when Astral Sorcery was installed.

• Forge is still pretty unstable (for instance, the current build, .45 is broken - you'll have to use .44). As a result, there's currently some features we can't implement and bugs we can't fix (there's some container desync, turtle upgrades don't always render. This should be resolved over the coming weeks.
• This is not compatible with previous worlds: the save format has changed a lot, and there's nothing I can do to load worlds created in 1.12 or before.
• We're still an alpha, and Minecraft internals have changed a lot - there will be bugs, and there are still changes to be made.

• Handle connection errors on websockets (Devilholk)
• Make require a little more consistent with PUC Lua, passing the required name to modules and improving error messages.
• Track how long each turtle action takes within the profiling tools
• Bump Cobalt version
• Coroutines are no longer backed by threads, reducing overhead of coroutines.
• Maximum stack depth is much larger (2^16 rather than 2^8)
• Stack is no longer unwound when an unhandled error occurs, meaning debug.traceback can be used on dead coroutines.
• Reduce jar size by reducing how many extra files we bundle.
• Add term.nativePaletteColo(u)r (Lignum)
• Split colours.rgb8 into colours.packRGB and colours.unpackRGB (Lignum)
• Printers now only accept paper and ink, rather than any item
• Allow scrolling through the multishell tab bar, when lots of programs are running. (Wilma456)

• Fix modems not being advanced when they should be
• Fix direction of some peripheral blocks not being set
• Strip \r from .readLine on binary handles.
• Websockets handle pings correctly
• Fix turtle peripherals becoming desynced on chunk unload.
• /computercraft tables are now truncated correctly

The "big" change is that Cobalt got a lot of long-needed attention, meaning it's even more compliant to standard Lua

Bomb Bloke, on 25 February 2019 - 09:46 AM said:

Well THAT sounds ominous…

• Computers may be preemptively interrupted if they run for a long time. This shouldn't result in any noticeable change in behaviour, but means badly/malicious computers have less of an impact on other computers.
• Computers are limited to how much server time they can use each tick, hopefully reducing the impact a computer can have on a server's TPS. This may cause issues if you were queuing a lot of tasks (say, lots of calls to commands.execAsync). If you encounter issues, please let me know.
• Massively improve JEI integration. You can now get the recipe and usage of any upgraded turtle or pocket computer. On a related note, JEI will now label upgraded turtles/pocket computers as belonging to whatever mod which registered its upgrade.
• MCMultipart support for wireless and ender modems. This is dubiously useful, but now means you can decorate modems with Chisel and Bits.
• Several improvements to pastebin, including detection for when you trigger the spam protection mechanism and handling of running pastebin get with a URL instead.

• Add os.date, and handle passing datetime tables to os.time, making them largely compatible with PUC Lua.
• rm and mkdir accept multiple arguments. (hydraz, JakobDev)
• Rework rendering of in-hand pocket computers, making them closer to computer GUIs than the pocket computer item.
• Prevent rendering of a bounding box on a monitor's screen.
• Clean up the Lua type-checking code, shifting it into a helper method. As a result, error messages now include the function name where known (for instance, sleep(false) will error with "bad argument #1 to 'sleep' (expected number, got boolean)"). Hopefully this makes it even easier to work out what's going wrong!

It is down at the moment, it's the same outage that hit switch craft a while ago(which switch craft is still recovering from, not 100% yet). You can keep yourself updated on the switch craft discord https://discordapp.c...850498060484611

• Improve validation in rename, copy and delete programs
• Add window.getLine - the inverse of blit
• turtle.refuel no longer consumes more fuel than needed
• Add "cc.expect" module, for improved argument type checks
• Mount the ROM from all mod jars, not just CC's

• Window.reposition now allows changing the redirect buffer
• Add cc.completion and cc.shell.completion modules
• Fix several turtles' GUIs desyncing after moving.

• The read function now allows changing the cursor position using the mouse.
• Add support for PATCH and TRACE HTTP methods (jaredallard)
• CraftTweaker support: This is currently relatively rudimentary, but allows you remove turtle upgrades, and add new tools to turtles. For instance, the following script replaces the default mining upgrade with one crafted with wood:

dan200.computercraft.turtle.removeUpgrade(<minecraft:diamond_pickaxe>);
dan200.computercraft.turtle.addTool("minecraft:diamond_pickaxe", <minecraft:wooden_pickaxe>, <minecraft:diamond_pickaxe>);

It's not a lot, but hopefully should be useful for pack makers (and can be extended in the future should it prove useful)!

• Update to Minecraft 1.15
• Rewrite monitor rendering to use VBOs instead of call lists.

• Map rendering for pocket computers and printouts
• Item frame rendering for printouts
• Custom block outlines for monitors and cables/wired modems
• Custom breaking progress for cables/wired modems

• Firstly, I wrote a while back about documenting CC: Tweaked, and I'm happy to say that some work has been done, a year after the discussion started.
I'm currently hosting a very WIP documentation site at tweaked.cc - if people have time to have a read through it, check things make sense, or even contribute documentation I'd really appreciate it. There's a PR on the GitHub repository, if you have any comments or just fancy finding out more.
• Plethora recently hit 1 million downloads, and CC: Tweaked isn't far of 3 million. There is absolutely no meaning to these numbers, but it makes me feel fuzzy inside :)/>. Thank you to everyone who has used the mod, reported issues, or even contributed code! ♥
• I'm planning on making several changes to the Lua VM in the next few weeks, to hopefully bring it more inline with PUC Lua (i.e. standard Lua), as well integrate a couple of Lua 5.2/5.3 features. That said, there are a couple of changes which may break things - if people are willing to help test, please ding me on GitHub/Discord/IRC.

• The __len metamethod may now be used by tables.
• Add \z, hexadecimal (\x00) and unicode (\u0000) string escape codes.
• Add utf8 lib.
• Mirror Lua's behaviour of tail calls more closely. Native functions are no longer tail called, and tail calls are displayed in the stack trace.
• table.unpack now uses __len and __index metamethods.
• Parser errors now include the token where the error occurred.

• Added fs.getAttributes: A bit like stat, this allows you fetch file size, type and creation/modification times.
• Added textutils.unserializeJSON. This works with both standard JSON, and stringified-NBT, like you may receive from the output of commands.
• The settings API now allows "defining" settings, along with a description and default value. This means that the .settings file now only stores the changed values.
• The menu bar on paint and edit can now be clicked on using the mouse! This allows you to paint and save on monitors (@JakobDev)
• The Lua REPL's pretty printer has been rewritten. It now supports functions and recursive tables.
