Changelog DynamX 4.1.0 :

The modifications followed by a (*) were made by our contributors, MK, frh, Ertinox45, JarException and gameusefly. Thanks for your contributions ;)

General features:

• Added .gltf model support. The support of animations will come in a future update.
• Add engine and sound support on boats.
• Add seats support on blocks and props.
• Add storage support on blocks and props.
• Add reverse, handbrake and door sounds options.
• Add parts inheritance system: lights and license plates can be placed on moving parts like doors.
• Add automatic part positioning from 3D model.
• Transparency is now supported for blocks, items and armors.
• Add BreakHardness, ExplosionResistance, SoundType, HarvestTool and HarvestLevel properties on blocks.
• Fix broken UseUdp config option.
• Fix some issues with BungeeCoord servers.

Physics:

A lot of fixes and performance improvements.

Fixes:

• Fix entities respawn position when loading a world. There should no longer be props in the ground, or vehicles with broken suspensions.
• Fixed the terrain generation performance: useless debug functions were eating a lot of cpu time
• Fixed lag spikes when spawning vehicles with doors (because of the same debug functions)
• Optimize and fix joint spawning and synchronization. Debug triangles generation was taking way too much time, and not actually needed. Fixed desync problems when coming from far away or connecting to the server. Reduced joint spawn cooldown when spawning vehicles: it's now instantaneous.
• Use static render for closed doors. The doors will now stay attached to your car when you're driving.
• Fixed collisions and walking player position on vehicles (you're not able to fly above vehicles anymore)
• Fix part float drag force formula
• Fix engine started sound not played for other players
• Optimize player collision with large blocks by a lot
• Inversed boat steer direction when reversing to be more realistic

Packs:

Some fixes and new useful config options. We also added the .gltf model support to DynamX. Animations aren't yet implemented, but it's coming ;)

New features:

• Add engine and sound support on boats (working like car engines with the same config options (except engine braking and steering properties))
• Add rotating propeller blade on boats (same as the "Rotor" config of helicopters)
• Add seats support on blocks and props
• Add storage support on blocks and props
• Add reverse, handbrake and door sounds options (ReversingSound, HandbrakeSoundOn and HandbrakeSoundOff in vehicles (wheeled ones only, not boats or helicopters), AttachSound in trailer config, DoorOpenSound, DoorCloseSound in door config)
• Add InWater damping properties on vehicles and props (InWaterLinearDamping and InWaterAngularDamping properties)
• Add RenderDistanceSquared property on vehicles
• Added .gltf model support
• Add parts inheritance system: lights and license plates can be placed on moving parts like doors. This system can be used by addons (see the API changes section).
• Add DependsOnNode property on lights: the value should be the name of the part this light is attached to (for example, DependsOnNode: Door_trunkdoor). We advise addon makers to use the same property name in their parts.
• Add automatic part positioning from 3D model
• Part positions can now be extracted from the 3D models
• Wheels can now be in the same 3D model as the vehicle itself (added "Rim" and "Tire" (or "Tyre") config properties in PartWheel)
• The automatic part positioning reads the position of the object (wheel, steering wheel...) in the 3D model so you don't have to manually write it in the config file. And you don't need to place the object manually in 0 0 0 when exporting the model! -> Fully supported for GLTF models. -> Partially supported for obj models (mudguards and doors not supported).
• Added the speed limiter icon from the BasicsAddon, and remove the "Speed limit: xx" text from the vehicle hud.
• Added EngineStartupTime property to helicopters: this is the time to (automatically) reach 100% when starting a helicopter.
• Transparency is now supported for blocks, items and armors.

Changes:

• Renamed PartName property into ObjectName everywhere (the old name is still supported, but prefer using the new one to avoid errors)
• Added EngineBraking alias to the Braking property in engines
• Removed deprecated prop_ file format support
• Allow to have more than 16 variants on props that haven't any block variants in creative tabs
• Fix entity shape boxes update on pack reload
• Improve render distance behavior: When "RenderDistanceSquared" is "-1" for any DynamX object, the default render distance of Minecraft is applied. This is now the default value for vehicles.
• Add error message when a seat is linked to a non-existent door
• Wheel count is no longer limited to 10
• Fix block json model support

Api changes:

There was a lot of refactoring, including code consistency improvements, javadoc improvements and an update of the ACsGuis dependency to 1.2.12.

New features:

• Add builtin props support (props added in addons)
• Add canInteract method on InteractivePart
• Add ITerrainUpdateBehavior interface. This allows to ignore certain world changes and optimize the terrain generation performance. Also added more information on chunk updates in ChunkGraph.
• Add PhysicsEvent.PhysicsCollision.Pre event (fired at each bullet collision event, which can happen several times, for each collision points). The original PhysicsEvent.PhysicsCollision stays fired once at each collision between two objects.
• Add client only RegiseredSubInfoTypes

Structure changes:

• Rename IInfoOwner into IDynamXItem
• Modified events in VehicleEntityEvent: interact and mount/dismount events now handle props
• Split PartSeat in BasePartSeat, PartBlockSeat and PartEntitySeat
• Split BLOCK_AND_PROPS sub info type registries into BLOCKS and PROPS
• BoatPropellerModule, SeatsModule and WheelsModule are now added by their respective part, like any other module (they were hardcoded in entity classes)
• Renamed all obj related classes (generally using DxModel instead of ObjModel in class names)
• Moved Engine modules into fr.dynamx.common.entities.modules.engines package
• Rename ICollidableObject into DynamXObject
• Rename sortModules() in getListernerModules() in ModularPhysicsEntity
• Renamed PhysicsEntityEvent.Phase into EventPhase

Rewrote the parts rendering code:

This new render system, based on a SceneNode graph allows to attach parts to others (for example, have lights on an openable trunk). This render system applies to entities (vehicles, props), blocks, items and armors. This render system uses JOML transform matrixes instead of the classic GL11 transformation methods, improving the performance and preparing the support of BetterLights.

/!\ This will break all addons that are rendering parts.

Changes:

• Replaced the drawParts method of IDrawable parts by a graph nodes system (the parts a nodes of the entity rendering graph (you can see it as a tree where the root is the entity and the leafs, the parts)). Check the DynamX or the BasicsAddon code to see how it works.
• Rework events for the new render system: removed PhysicsEntityEvent.Render, VehicleEntityEvent.Render, DynamXArmorEvent, DynamXItemEvent and EventStage.
• Updated DynamXBlockEvent.RenderTileEntity and DynamXModelRenderEvent.
• Add DynamXRenderItemEvent, DynamXEntityRenderEvent and DynamXArmorRenderEvent events.
• Added CreatePartSceneEvent, BuildSceneGraphEvent.BuildEntityScene, BuildSceneGraphEvent.BuildBlockScene, BuildSceneGraphEvent.BuildArmorScene and BuildSceneGraphEvent.BuildItemScene events.
• Moved the debug rendered to the new SceneNode render system. Deprecated DebugRenderer interface and PhysicsEntityEvent.InitRenderer event.
• Added DynamXBlockEvent.BuildSceneGraph event.
• Deprecated DynamXRenderUtils.renderCar.

Add ItemTransforms and View sub info types

They allow to customize the item transforms depending on the view (left/right first/third person, gui, ground, ...), like in json model format.

Example:

ItemTransforms{
    View_TPLH{
        Translate: 0.05 0 0
        Rotate: 0 0 70
        Scale: 1 1 1
    }
    View_TPRH{
        Translate: 0.05 0 0
        Rotate: 0 0 70
    }
    View_FPLH{
        Translate: 0 0.2 0.2
        Rotate: -15 0 95
    }
    View_FPRH{
        Translate: 0 0.2 0.2
        Rotate: -15 0 80
    }
    View_Gui{
        Translate: -0.1 0.15 0
        Rotate: -40 0 0
    }
}

This is supported by vehicles, blocks, items and armors. The old ItemTranslate, ItemRotate and ItemScale will still be supported, but can't be mixed with the new system in the same property file.

Other fixes:

• Fix terrain error spam with DynamX tile entities
