this works around a bug where corrupted text on preexisting signs can mess up the client. This also prevents corrupted text getting onto signs in the future by having them scrubbed and validated before applying them.
This is better for performance because these then don't need to be reevaluated every time they are called.
When encountering an unqualified function or constant reference, PHP will first try to locate a symbol in the current namespace by that name, and then fall back to the global namespace.
This short-circuits the check, which has substantial performance effects in some cases - in particular, ord(), chr() and strlen() show ~1500x faster calls when they are fully qualified.
However, this doesn't mean that PM is getting a massive amount faster. In real world terms, this translates to about 10-15% performance improvement.
But before anyone gets excited, you should know that the CodeOptimizer in the PreProcessor repo has been applying fully-qualified symbol optimizations to Jenkins builds for years, which is one of the reasons why Jenkins builds have better performance than home-built or source installations.
We're choosing to do this for the sake of future SafePHP integration and also to be able to get rid of the buggy CodeOptimizer, so that phar and source are more consistent.
This supersedes addChunkPacket() in most cases, and has a more clear name. It broadcasts the given packet to every player who has the target position within their chunk load radius.
This has the triple bonus effect of a) making a lot of code easier to read, b) reducing Server::getInstance() usages, and c) removing a whole bunch of Server dependencies.
The network and block namespaces are untouched by this commit due to potential for merge conflicts. These should be dealt with separately on master.
A common pitfall developers fall into with this function is that it has to be called from the scope of the tile class you're creating NBT for, but people commonly do Tile::createNBT() directly, which then results in cryptic "Tile is not registered" errors. This now throws a BadMethodCallException instead to be fully clear about this.
In the future this will be removed completely once NBT is no longer required to create a tile, but for now this is a confusing issue that should be dealt with.
PhpStorm can't see constructor usages when the class name is dynamic. This causes maintenance problems because cross-referencing constructors called like this doesn't show up dynamic calls.
* Implemented InventoryEventProcessor, fixes#1986
Event processors can now be registered and unregistered at will. Entity inventory/armor change events are now handled by event processors instead of the inventories themselves, which allows enabling/disabling the calling of these events at will.
This now avoids stupid things happening when initializing inventory contents, since the callers for those events are now registered _after_ the contents are initialized.
This is a significant breaking change for anything utilizing Tiles as they now do not store their NBT at runtime anymore.
This is another step in the process of ridding PocketMine-MP of runtime NBT.
It can be noticed that all tiles are now using class fields to store properties instead of NBT, which is much faster, uses less memory and is also more concise when written in code.
Highlights:
- Tile->namedtag has been removed.
- Tile->saveNBT() now accepts a CompoundTag() parameter. Typically it's expected that this will be fed a newly-created CompoundTag (this part may be improved in the future).
- New internal methods Tile->readSaveData() and Tile->writeSaveData() have been added. Instead of overriding __construct() and saveNBT() to load and save properties from NBT, you should now implement these methods instead.
This is not final and will see further changes before it's done.
This is caused by the Spawnable constructor calling spawnToAll() before the tile is fully initialized. I really really really hate constructors that _DO_ things by themselves.
this never really worked properly and is a bad idea anyway. This was the cause of many sign-going-blank bugs before it was broken (by me), and since it's broken it's now useless. I don't think there's any practical way to make this work properly, so I leave it up to plugins to decide whether or not they want to cancel sign editing in protected areas. PocketMine-MP built-in spawn protection will already block this by default anyway.
Chunks were used by tiles for a couple of things:
- 1. for coordinates - which can be gotten using bitshifts
- 2. setChanged() - which is unnecessary as seen in the previous commit
Removing this circular dependency was actually remarkably easy to do.
