CodeBots

Hey everyone! I've been working on this update for a very long time. Many things were changed and redone from scratch so this update is completely incompatible with previous versions!

Please let me know if there are any issues! This is a big update and I couldn't fully test everything alone.

Changes:

• NEW LANGUAGE! I've made a new scripting language that is similar to C, because of easier state management, cleaner code under the hood, more accurate code generation for people who use AI for bots
• Bots will now pause and unpause when chunk reloads or server restarts!
• Bots, monitors and redstone transmitters now save to their region files inside world folders, and only load when their chunk is loaded
• Bots will now attempt to reconnect to the monitor after chunk reload or server restart
• Entites used by bots, monitors and redstone transmitters no longer persist through server restarts but are instead respawned when needed
• When picking up a bot, all of it's files will be saved onto the item
• Added bot.place(string direction) function to bots for placing blocks
• Added bot.play_sound(string sound, float volume, float pitch function to bots for playing sounds
• Added math module with functions abs(float), floor(float), ceil(float), round(float), random(), sin(float), cos(float), tan(float), cot(float), atan(float), atan2(float, float), sqrt(float)
• Improved syntax for the give command
• Removed commands: create_bot, delete_bot, sel, inv, tp, rotate, setskin, editor
• Monitors will now remember their text alignment
• Program will now auto-load if it's the only one that exists when created
• Prevented creating or deleting files while editor session is active for the bot
• Prevented creating code editor session if bot has no files
• Updated code editor URL
• Code editor sessions will now be reused after server restart instead of having to make new ones
• *Added bStats
• Updated keys to snake case in the config file
• Added timeouts for HTTP calls to the editor
• Added automatic deletion for expired editor sessions
• Fixed access token being fetched twice from the editor on server startup
• Fixed closing editor session not refreshing programs GUI
• REMOVED STRUCTS: they will be back one day...

Editor changes:

• Full support for the new language including: parsing, autocompletion, type checking, error and warning marking
• Added file size and cursor position info to the bottom right
• Added AI prompt button to the sidebar
• When alt-tabbing, editor will check if session status has changed and redirect users accordingly
• Added the "there are unsaved changes" warning when closing tab or reloading
• Fixed session author not showing up

What's new?

• Added Redstone Transmitter block
• Added redstone module for reading redstone input and signals
• Fixed negative numbers issue when parsing code

What's new?

• Added code author to the code editor
• Added error & warning highlighting in the editor
• Improved default programs to import monitor module by default and some formatting changes

What's new?

• Added monitor#setBackgroundColor
• Added color code translation for "&" character
• Updated a list of standard colors (now includes: black, dark_blue, dark_green, dark_aqua, dark_red, dark_purple, gold, gray, dark_gray, blue, green, aqua, red, light_purple, yellow, white)

Fixed /codebots delete not removing holograms

What's new?

• Added monitors and functions to interact with them
• More details on how to use monitors are provided on the Wiki

What's new?

• You can now edit multiple programs at once
• Added automatic code update as soon as opening bot GUI
• Added "Create Bot Editor" button to the programs GUI
• Improved status hologram movement (text above bots)
• More reliable bot movement (by using teleport_delay instead of translation interpolation)
• Fixed a bug where sessions weren't getting deleted
• Fixed a bug where bot locations weren't saving after their movements
• Added backwards support to code editor for older versions of the plugin

API changes:

• Moved BotLoadEvent to the api package

Plans for the next update:

• Improve identification in the editor so that "old" sessions cannot be interacted with
• "Test" feature in the editor that allows users to check if their code is properly written and if it can be compiled

Please report any issues encountered! Multiple file editing feature required some rewrites, both on plugin and on editor sides, so there might be some issues.

What's new?

• Added holograms for showing status and status messages above bots
• Added setStatus(message, duration) for the standard bot module
• Chat messages by bots will now appear above them
• Fixed issues with Multiverse worlds during server startup
• Improved formatting for the editor link message, and added a message showing that editor session is being made

API updates:

• Added CodeBot#chat(message)
• Added CodeBot#setStatus(message, duration?)
• Added BotLoadEvent (this event is called whenever a chunk containing the bot is loaded)

Why isn't the text moving smoothly?

• I tried to make this work with TextDisplay interpolation, but it causes visual issues when walking around it. I'm not sure what to do about this, I might use holograms from other plugins for smoother movement of the text.

Please report any issues encountered.
