Changelog

194.5.0 for 1.19.4 on Fabric, Quilt

Note: Based on popular opinion, Yet Another Config Lib and Mod Menu are now required.

• Changed the "Chat HUD" config category to "Chat Interface" again, and split the options within it into 2 subcategories: "Heads Up Display (HUD)" and "Screen" for more organization
• You can now use vanilla chat clearing (vanillaClearing) if you really want.. (#85)
• Fixed the up arrow switching focus to the search field while also accessing sent message history? (#86)
• Completely revamped the method to copy messages! Instead of the old and clunky /copymessage command, you just right-click on a message and a menu will appear with a multitude of options to access data contained within the message. For example, you can copy the raw message, a json representation, or even any links within the message! (#77, #87)
• There are two config options associated with the new copy menu: copyColor and copyReplyFormat which control the color of the selection box around the clicked message, and the text that is put into the chat box when clicking on "Reply", respectively
• All messages now store their time received in the timestamp's insertion text, which just means if you shift-left click on the timestamp text, it will insert the unix timestamp of the received message into the chat box
• Removed the /copymessage command and its translations
• Added fr_fr translations (huge thanks to Calvineries!)
• Refactored some config options and their translations (saveChat => chatLog, nameFormat => chatNameFormat, and maxMsgs => chatMaxMessages) to work properly with the new subgroups
• Fixed the dupe message adder method breaking when a boundary line was the last message sent
• You can now choose to use a CompactChat style dupe counter, which is explained in the config (#67)
• There is now a CompactChat subgroup under the dupe counter category in the config, which provides counterCompact for the toggle and counterCompactDistance for how many messages to check for duplicates
• Updated YetAnotherConfigLib to 3.0.3-fabric, which overhauls the config UI to use a new tab system, but more notably has image previews now! For this reason along with popular opinion, YACL is now required to load Chat Patches (#91)
  • WARNING: The images currently crash the game, so they've been temporarily disabled until a bugfix is released. Check back in a week or so for the hotfix!

Misc changes and developer stuff:

• Added some more detailed JavaDocs overall
• The old method that was used to condense duplicate messages was overhauled with a slightly faster implementation that doubles as a way to use the CompactChat style dupe counter. The original method was moved to ChatUtils#getCondensedMessage(Text, int) and instead removes the old message, rather than updating the old message and ignoring the new one
• Also cleaned up the YACLConfig class a little more to use less "magic numbers" and more clear method calls
• Added the [Config.writeCopy] prefix to a logger call in Config#writeCopy() to maintain consistency and clarity
• Replaced the common obtaining of ChatHudAccessor from the ugly (ChatHudAccessor) client.inGameHud.getChatHud() with two static methods, ChatHudAccessor.from(ChatHud) and ChatHudAccessor.from(MinecraftClient), which wrap the cast for convenience
• Added message indices stored in ChatUtils to clearly identify what data is being interacted with, instead of magic numbers everywhere
• Added the RenderUtils class, which currently only has a subclass MousePos
• Added StringTextUtils#getLinks(String) for getting all links from a string, used in the copy menu
• All of ChatScreenMixin is really just complete hell, it's all over the place, but most of the complex methods have javadocs (except for #cps$loadCopyMenu(mX, mY) which has comments inside). It works especially now together with MenuButtonWidget which is also disgusting. In the future, when I have time, I will rewrite the whole menu thing as a new class just for menus and buttons, and then use that. For now, I'm so sorry.
