Try to create HUDs in the correct initial state instead of
creating empty and trying to change on the very next tick, which
could lead to HUDs arriving out of order and desyncing.
Swap it out with the breath bar, since the breath bar won't be
displaying most of the time, so we can afford to not read what an
item is until we come up for air to look at it.
Also, "eggcorn" is a single word.
- Inventory screen is now no longer game-interactive, and serves
as purely an "about" screen.
- Move the HUD components out of inv mod and into hud mod.
- Separate player setup mod for static physical limitations like
step height, inv size, etc.
This is allows you to split a stack by throwing individual items
with sneak-drop, letting them settle into a single stack, and
then sneak-digging the stack to keep it separate in your inventory.
This makes it possible to split stacks into arbitrary quantities
without having to use the inventory GUI.
- Simplify queue handling, FIFO retry for ents not created due
to world not loaded.
- Make ents responsible for own attachment, to reduce the chance
of non-attachment due to out-of-order replication.
- Unify config object passed to ents, allowing ents to self-manage
more.
Instead of a single queue backlog/icebox setup, split into large
dev spikes and issue/cleanup stuff.
I've been doing a sort of "tick-tock" development cycle in practice
so far. Sometime cycles are "tick" where I add a major feature,
like shelves/totes, lode metallurgy, etc. Others are "tock" cycles
where I make a lot of small releases to clean up issues accumulated
from prior work.
The new backlog format will help keep these separated better.
There is some wierd issue in 5.0+, besides the different model
coordinate system. If I try to create and attach all ents in the
very first tick on player join, only like 3 of them work. Queue
them up and apply them gradually, one per world tick, to try to
work around this. Need to figure out what limitation I'm hitting
that's causing this...
Using an exponentially-distributed random variable for lode prill
yield. This results in approximately the same average yield as
before, but with many pieces of ore yielding disappointingly only
1 prill, but a few yielding more, theoretically almost infinitely
more. Every smelting operation now has a bit of a gambling thrill
aspect to it.
