Ok, I've added both these features. BlockEntityRegister now has setBlockRetainEntity() methods for changing the block but leaving the entity alone (will send a BlockChangedEvent). You can now also include a "pickupFamily" setting in a block definition, which is the uri of the block family to...

Ah, for picking up a block and getting a consistent type Terasology has the concept of a BlockFamily - the family is what is picked up, and when placed the block family determines which block from the family should be put in the world. This has mostly been used for various rotations, but it...

The fundamental limitation/optimisation of our underlying voxel system is that there is a block per possible appearance, and any change to the appearance means changing the block. Each block is associated with a byte, and each chunk of the world has a byte array or similar for the blocks it...

The @Owns annotation has now been introduced, with the following features: Can be applied to a EntityRef, List<EntityRef> or Set<EntityRef> fields in a component. Owned entities are stored when the owner is stored. e.g. A player's inventory of items is stored with the player. Owned entities are...

We will likely be refactoring the chunk system to allow for arbitrary extra data per block later, so I wouldn't worry about it. Where possible avoid using extra data of course - if the simulation can run entirely based on the blocks present that is ideal, although not always achievable.

With authentication working, I've move on to player persistence. Now when a player disconnects, their character entity is stored in a PlayerEntityStore, which is saved as a file identified by their Id. Upon reconnect this file is loaded and the entity restored. This means stuff like their...

Hmm, I just did a clean setup of Terasology from latest develop with no issue, so not sure. Sounds like the mod code hasn't been compiled though. I guess the questions I would ask are: * Have you checked whether the classes subdirectories exist in each mod with code, and are populated? * Have...

I believe so, but I'ld suggest begla should give it a try when he has a chance.

Still slogging away at this, although lots of RL taking up my time recently - also my computer broke, so I need to chase that up too. Death and respawning, and support for dropping items (thanks sdab ) are all in the current branch. As opposed to the previous implementation of death which...

Reminds me of this a bit. Not in a bad way.

Your branch (or fork, to be precise) is up to you to manage. It has been pulled into develop in MovingBlocks.

Basically a class in Java or other Object Oriented languages is similar to a struct in C, except you can put the methods to work with the class's data into the class itself and prevent direct access to the data (the private keyword). This provides encapsulation - users of the class work with it...

Sure, although timezones may be tricky (Australian here).

Yeah, IntelliJ occasionally gets confused since version 12 I've noticed.

For making a loader, the MD5 loader should be an alright reference: https://github.com/MovingBlocks/Terasology/tree/develop/src/main/java/org/terasology/rendering/assetLoaders/md5 There are separate loaders for the main skeletal mesh and the individual animations, which are assumed to be...
