TFCGenViewer

• Update to TFC 4.2.4, which is the new minimum version
• Add colors for the biomes added in TFC 4.2.0

• Add the ability to visualize the world at a chunk (16 block) scale
  • Has Biome, Climate Restricted Features, Elevation, Köppen Climate Classification, Rainfall, Rock, and Temperature visualizer types
  • The Elevation VT has three elevation bands:
    • Low, for elevations below y = 63
    • Middle, for elevations above y = 63 and below y = 103
    • High, for elevations above y = 103
• Many biome colors have been added to accommodate the biomes now visible with the finer resolution
• Visualizer types now have the ability to draw previews in a parallel manner
  • The maximum level of parallelism (concurrent pixel draws) can be configured, defaults to 5
  • If previews may even be drawn in parallel can be disabled, defaults to allowing
  • Currently, only the chunk-scale Elevation and Rock (when on at-depth mode) use this
  • With this, a configurable timeout for the drawing of a single pixel has been added and is configurable
    • Those with weaker systems may want to increase this if they notice the log has a lot of warning about pixel draws timing out or previews have lots of empty space
• The preview center and spawn center coords can now be set by clicking on the displayed preview
  • Control-left alt clicking the preview will set the preview center
  • Shift-left alt clicking the preview will set the spawn center
  • The modifier keys for each can be set in the keybinds screen
• All slider and cycle values in the preview screen can now be reset to their default value by right-clicking them
• Add tfcgenviewer:dark_blue preset gradient
• the seed box of the preview screen now has the hint text present on create world screen's seed box
• This version is network compatible with 2.0.3 through 2.0.1
• [API]
  • Add MutableImage#setPixel(int,int,ColorDefinition)
  • Add DrawParallelism, a holder for the canonical parallelism of a preview draw operation
  • Add ChunkDataProvider, a pseudo-cache type for ChunkDatas
  • ClimateFeatureCache now has methods to delegate IVisualizerType#additionalSynchronization and #elementCodecForRegistry calls to
  • RegionPointCache#isNortherHemisphere has been deprecated in favor of IVisualizerType$DrawInfo#isNorthernHemisphere
  • IVisualizerType
    • #createCache now has O extends $Options<O> and DrawParallelism parameters
      • With this, the call order of $Options#copy and #createCache has been reversed
    • #afterComplete now has two int parameters for the x and z drawing offset of the image
    • Add #timeoutFillBGR, the BGR color to fill a pixel with if the drawing operation times out. Defaults to 0
    • Add #requestDrawInParallel, request parallel drawing. Defaults to false
    • Add #maxLevelOfParallelism, the max parallelism the VT can handle if allowed to draw in parallel. Defaults to 10
    • $Drawinfo
      • Add #isNorthernHemisphere, self-explanatory
      • Add #pixelResolutionToBlock, a simple delegator to the same method in IScale
      • Add #evaluateAtBlockPosition, perform an action at a certain block-pos resolution as determined from the given pixel-resolution coordinates
      • Add #settings, a simple delegator to the same method in the chunk generator extension
      • Add #rockLayerSettings, a simple delegator to the same method in the chunk generator extension
  • Move OptionProvider#withgenericDisplay to $Order where it is called in place of #withDisplay
  • VT caches which implement AutoClosable will now be closed upon completion of an image draw

• Fix incompatibility with Sodium's BiomeMixin
• Add the ability to disable (and re-enable) the permissions system outright, allowing full access when disabled
  • This can be done using the /tfcgenviewer disable_permissions and /tfcgenviewer enable_permissions commands
• The permissions system for integrated servers (single player worlds) will now default to allowing players to see all visualizer types
• This version is network compatible with 2.0.1 and 2.0.2

• Fix classloading issue on servers

• Add dispatch gradient type
  • Only one dispatch type, tfcgenviewer:hue_wheel, currently exists
• The Temperature visualizer type now has tooltips in increments of 5°C, instead of 12°C
• The Rainfall VT now has tooltips in increments of 50mm, instead of 100mm
• The Biomes, Rocks, and Climate Restricted Features VTs now have dynamic color keys, only showing values encountered during generation
• VT specific options now have a teal border
• Tweaked the Rocks VT options
  • Changed 'at surface' to 'mode'; functionality is unchanged, but the wording should be more clear/descriptive
  • The 'elevation' option is now disabled if 'mode' is set to 'at surface'
• Add tooltips to all current VT options
• The configs now have lang entries
• [API]
  • VT specific options can now be dynamically disabled by passing a BooleanSupplier to OptionProvider$Order#finish
  • Add dispatch gradient registry, used by the above-mentioned dispatch gradient type
  • Add RockCache, a cache which
    • Wraps an inner cache, like ClimateFeatureCache
    • Keeps track of the colors in the rock color manager which have been encountered
    • Provides a color key describing the encountered colors
  • Add ChunkSize and ChunkScale for general use
• A new demo video for this update/2.0.0 in general

• Update to 1.21.1!
• Complete rework to the underlying functionality; TFCGenViewer now has an API! Expect more on it in the docs at some point
• Several reworks to certain visualizer types
  • By default, The Biomes VT now shows a lot more biomes to match TFC's expanded biome palette
  • The Inland Height VT has been merged with Biome Altitude, which now shows 7 discrete altitudes from very deep ocean to mountain elevation
  • The Rivers and Mountains VT now has a flat land color, shows hot spot ages, and has a 'sensitivity' option for river positions
  • The Rocks VT now has two options
    • 'At surface': If the preview should be created for the surface rock layer
    • 'Elevation': The y-level the preview should be created for if 'at surface' is turned off
• Add the Köppen Climate Classification visualizer type, which colors land according to its Köppen climate classification
• The mod is now properly server optional! Players can join servers without TFCGV without any issues, though naturally they will not be able to use the visualizer features
• The permissions system has received an overhaul allowing for more fine-grained control of visualizer permissions
• For the moment, the rock editor sub-screen is unimplemented
• The seed button now also puts the seed into the seed text box when clicked

Note: Currently the wiki is pretty barren and only has pages on using the new permission system and the json types used to define colors. More will be added as I have the time

• Add Climate Restricted Features visualizer
  • By default shows Kaolin Clay and Coral spawn locations
  • Will display anything in the tfcgenvewier:visualizable_features placed feature tag
    • Can handle multiple, overlapping features gracefully
    • Uses the climate range set in the tfc:climate modifier of the feature
    • If the configured feature is a TFC ore-type, its biome tag will be respected
    • All entries also require a matching color definition in the /tfcgenviewer/features/ folder
• Improve Rivers and Mountains and Rocks visualizer speeds, most noticeable with large visualization scales

• Add rock editor sub-screen
  • Can be opened via the "Edit Rocks" button below "Export Preview" in the preview screen
  • See the wiki page for more information about usage
• Color gradients are now interpolated over the linear sRGB color space
• Changed the default gradients for the Rainfall and Temperature previewers to be more vibrant and distinct
  • As part of this, the temp, temperature, rain, and rainfall reference gradients are now separate from the climate gradient, which is now unused by default
• Adjust Temperature visualizer range to be -23 to 33 °C
